Baobab Resources Baobab Resources Plc (Baobab or the company) is a London-based, AIM-listed (AIM ticker BAO) junior exploration company focused on exploring and developing mineral deposits in Mozambique. The company has a total of 25 prospecting licenses in Mozambique covering a large area of 4,760 km2. The two main prospects are the Manica Project Area and the Tete Project Area.     Baobabs main focus to date has been at the Manica Project Area, where the company has produced a JORC compliant copper resource with gold and silver credits. At the Tete Project Area, recent rock chip samples and aeromagnetic survey results indicate a high grade iron, titanium and vanadium system that extends over significantly great strike lengths.     Baobab is seeking IFCs engagement to help with general corporate purposes, including financing the companys exploration activities in the Republic of Mozambique in line with industry best practice in environmental and social sustainability. IFCs early involvement in Mozambiques growing mining sector will have an important demonstration effect in terms of setting environmental and social standards. IFC will assist Baobab to handle social, environmental, community development and mine closure issues in line with IFC Performance Standards on environmental and social sustainability.    The proposed IFC investment will contribute to continued exploration and associated feasibility studies. The direct development impacts during the pure exploration and feasibility study stage are expected to be limited. Nonetheless, key impacts that will be monitored during the exploration and feasibility study phase will include:    - employment;    - consultation with stakeholders including local communities and Government; and    - development of an appropriate environmental, social and community development plans for a mining exploitation project.     Because the investment predates any feasibility study, it is not yet possible to fully quantify or specify the potential development impacts during production stage. Potential development impacts at the mine production stage could include:     - local employment and sourcing;    - taxes, royalties and other payments to the government;    - technology and management skills transfer; and    - setting new environmental and social benchmarks for mining operations in Mozambique.    IFCs proposed investment is consistent with the World Banks Country Partnership Strategy covering the period FY08  11 that emphasizes the need for Mozambique to pursue a vision based on regional economic integration, promoting foreign direct investment and export enhancement.  Extractive industries are specifically mentioned as some of the sectors that should be developed to make optimal use of the countrys natural resource base to expand export earnings and facilitate rural development, a central theme of the joint IMF-WBG Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty.

Grand Prix Autobody The project entails the expansion of an existing motor vehicle repair company in Maputo. The company is presently operating from a rented facility with an area of less than 4,000 square meters in an industrial area in Maputo. It needs to move to a new premises and expand its equipment to comply with Motorcare''s (Nissan South Africa) rigorous quality specifications for a full Nissan service centre.    Grand Prix Autobody started in 1998 doing body repair and paintwork on all makes of vehicles, and quickly extended its services to cover full car maintenance. Grand Prix has quickly established itself as one of the leading motor vehicle repair companies in Mozambique with the best quality equipment as well as up-to-date materials used in the industry. Its quality workmanship has guaranteed Grand Prix a preferred status amongst all Mozambican insurers as well as international companies in Mozambique.    Grand prix will contribute to develop new standards in the country through on-the job training given to the staff, for free, by Motorcare. All the Nissan cars, new or second hand, will have to pass a  safety check before cleared to enter the demanding Mozambican traffic and roads, which will improve safety on the roads.    Grand Prix will train and employ a minimum of 20 extra people.    IFCs main role will be to provide appropriate financial resources without which the project cannot proceed. The project requires long term financing which is not available from the local banking system. IFC''s co-lender is providing a 5 year loan so IFC will be helping to extend the maturities. IFCs participation will also ensure that the facilities comply with environmental requirements. The project will be the largest private car repair center in Maputo. It is likely to have demonstration value and to help develop the local transport infrastructure.
