ANESU M CHATIKOBO | Geological data needs a return metric (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africa’s junior mining exploration fund makes nonrepayable grants to early-stage explorers. The grants convert to equity or a profit share if the work finds an ore body, and the state financier keeps a right of first refusal over follow-on funding. The state initially put in R400m.
