Confidential Investment Memorandum
Pan African Mining Logistics
Operating as IronRoute Logistics Group — a pan-African mine-to-port bulk logistics platform headquartered in Johannesburg, operating multimodal export corridors across South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Mozambique for coal, iron ore, manganese and copper — structured as an investment-grade ZAR 6.80-billion opportunity for institutional investors, development-finance institutions and lenders.
Southern Africa’s mining sector is the dominant source of regional bulk-freight demand, yet constrained and unreliable rail has pushed an estimated 25–30 million tonnes per annum of bulk mineral exports onto road, while cross-border mining corridors continue to grow. Pan African Mining Logistics captures this as a multimodal mine-to-port corridor operator — a modern bulk fleet, telematics and contracted, largely USD-denominated export volumes (coal, iron ore, manganese, copper) across five countries — a ZAR 6.80-billion raise scaling revenue from ZAR 2.80 billion to ZAR 11.2 billion by Year 5, turning cumulatively cash-flow positive in Year 4, and delivering a 27.4% ungeared project IRR, a 34.2% equity IRR and a ZAR 5.21-billion NPV at a 15% discount rate.
