African Aura's strategy is to be a 'first mover' within highly prospective and under explored geological provinces, in pursuit of the next generation of gold and iron ore mines in emerging sub-Saharan Africa. It is the significant experience of working in Africa and the ability to identify and assess the non-geological risks inherent with investing in emerging countries that distinguishes the Company as a pioneer. Once opportunities have been identified the Company employs satellite borne and geological remote sensing datasets in order to select the highest priority areas to explore. This strategy allows our teams to have the highest chance of discovering those deposits which crop-out at surface. Historically these deposits are discovered fastest, for the lowest exploration cost and are the first to become mines. In addition to our flagship New Liberty Gold and Putu Iron Ore projects, African Aura has assembled a significant portfolio of projects in Liberia and Cameroon with over 20 deposits discovered by our exploration teams to date. These discoveries create a pipeline of opportunities for the Company; being at varying stages of exploration from reconnaissance sampling through to resource definition drilling.

Our strategic direction is to focus on the pursuit of value creation for our stakeholders through initiatives that improve and expand our existing assets whilst selectively pursuing opportunities in mining.The zinc we produce is most commonly used to protect steel from corrosion. It is used in a wide range of industries, the largest consumers being the construction and transport sectors.Nyrstar also produces significant quantities of lead. Lead and zinc are very much sister metals, tending to occur together geologically. Lead is mainly used to produce lead-acid batteries, used primarily in motor vehicles.Given the mineral nature of zinc and lead concentrates, when they are processed they produce a number of valuable by-products such as copper, gold, indium and silver. Sulphuric acid is another valuable by-product of the zinc smelting process.Nyrstar's plants are located close to its key customers and adjacent to major transport hubs to allow easy delivery of raw materials and distribution of finished products.
