Commodity BasketThrough its excellent connections in West Africa and experienced management, CityView has accumulated a valuable commodity portfolio of oil, copper, gold, diamonds and rare earths.
CityView's strategy is to secure Government endorsed legal title to key resources in Africa and upgrade them to bankable feasibility/ productionfor the minimum dilution of CityView's share capital

Why Commodity Basket is increasing in valueOil: Consumption of oil today is 32 billion barrels per annum but oil industry is only finding 5-7 billion barrels a year.
Gold: Current gold production is approx. 78 million ounces per annum but new gold discoveries are around 20 million ounces a year.
Copper: The BRIC economies Brazil, Russia, India and China are in a metals-intensive stage of rapid development, particularly the urbanisation of China.
Diamonds: Rough diamonds are in increasingly short supply, but demand in China is rising steadily. After 2011 the supply side declines sharply as 3 major mines (Ekati in Canada, Udachinaya in Russia and Venetia in South Africa) start to fade.

RefineryCityView/Pensador have acquired an option to purchase an Oil Refinery with a potential capacity of 100,000 bpd.
West and Southern Africa do not have enough refinery capacity. This situation is forecast to continue. The Ivory Coast refinery is export oriented but with limited capacity. The four Nigerian refineries run at less than 50% of installed capacity. Much of the fuel consumed in West Africa has to be imported from Europe. Consequently refined products are in short supply and very expensive.

SummaryEmerging from decades of war, Angola is finally open for business. It is currently the fastest growing economy in Africa.
Whilst recognised for its oil and diamonds wealth, it is also minerals rich, with many areas yet to see any form of modern exploration.
CityView has excellent connections there and a strong and experienced management with a good mix of technical and financial skills
Joint ventures with powerful African groups.
High grade projects in oil, copper, gold, diamonds and rare earths.
