8.2.2. Assumptions on Markets and Market Demand

The markets for this quality of lime stone will be entities in the cement manufacturing and
entities with interest in carbon or flue gases desulfurization.

Topbram Initiatives assumes entities who might need to control pollution of air through
using lime stone may at least require in the region of 500 to 600 Thousand tons of lime
stone per annum while entities in the cement manufacturing sphere may at least require
a minimum of 300 Thousand Tons of lime per annum.

The assumption on market demand calls for mining and processing machinery to the
capacity of:

• 50 000 Tons of lime stone per month in the event a client with a refractory function
is supplied.

• More or less 30 000 Tons of lime stone per month in a situation a cement producer
is supplied.

8.2.3. Assumptions on Required Mining and Processing Equipment
8.2.3.1. The Total Number of Mining and Processing Equipment

Given the fact that Topbram Initiatives assumes that it might produce between 30 000
and 50 000 tons per month, Topbram has therefore tabulated machinery and
processing plant that meet the production needs of the two different end users of
limestone hereunder:
