  44. CONCLUDING REMARKS • The Mining Charter – precursor of all sectoral Charters (all of which are premised on the identical elements originally identified) • The extent of transformation of the mining sector against the Charter elements is grossly inadequate • The construct of the Charter 2002, as a negotiated and compromise document presented gray areas in the elements and measures (scorecard) – unintended consequences of exploitation • Lack of capacity within the DMR compromised the extent of vigilance on implementation of the Charter • The Charter focused on transformation of the sector – lack of focus on sustainable transformation and growth of the sector STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

  45. CONCLUDING REMARKS • Development of Monitoring and Evaluation component • Companies must report levels of compliance annually • Review of MPRDA to beef up penalty provisions that may be imposed to companies for non-compliance.
