Two quotes relating to Namibia: From Hero to Zero in one simple step. Heres how: Take a country up there with Botswana in the lets encourage foreign investment stakes, throw in some ill-considered ministerial comments, a poorly planned state mining company, define many common minerals as strategic, moot a change in the laws, and heypresto! You end up on the same level as Zimbabwe! When will politicians ever learn? Win-win means just that. An exploration company, company president. South Africa will be in the regulatory spotlight again next year owing to the nationalization debate, Zimbabwe over indigenization, and Namibia in relation to its restrictions on the export of strategic minerals. Law firm, partner and practice head.

Conclusions
Mining sector emerged well from crisis with most main projects intact (uranium delicately poised) Easily most dynamic sector of economy investing more than any other sector Attracting full spectrum of international investors Junior miners and stock exchanges playing critical role Investors highly sensitive to Namibian policy pronouncements Mining to face new taxes, environmental regulations, NEEEF, NT Levy, power and water costs
