Dear Justin,

Following our discussion yesterday evening, the Expression of Interest (EOI) will be placed under Trinity Nyakabingo Mines to the media on behalf of Trinity Metals Group (Trinity Nyakabingo Mine Ltd, Trinity Musha Mines Ltd & Rutongo Mines Ltd) at a cost of 60,000Rwf per publication in Jobs in Rwanda.
This is to ensure that VAT Exemptions are applied for foreign services engagements from RMB, MINECOFIN.

The actual procurement inquiry/tendering would be done for each mine with 4Flow PR done for the specific mines and contract signed by each mine for the services or software.
For example, Micromine License Subscription contract was concluded for the  3 mines (Trinity Nyakabingo Mine Ltd, Trinity Musha Mines Ltd & Rutongo Mines Ltd).

Lastly, VAT exemption would be applied for each mine. And this has been aligned and agreed with RMB & MINECOFIN teams that handle the applications.

Kind regards,

Hi Jeome,

How is this going to play out in terms of VAT refund should there be any, are we also required to pay all the software for the two other mines? Is the EOI PR going to be under Nyakabingo and the INVOICES be paid by respective mines? If so, will other mines be able to justify that the have run the EOI to be able to claim the VAT (this is in case we actually have to claim any). I might be missing something here.

Regards

Dear Vedaste, Joseph, Sebastian, Nicholas & Jelly,

Please be advised that Expressions of Interest (EOIs) to the media for similar or related Site Works and Services will be published under a single mine, Trinity Nyakabingo Mines, on behalf of all three Trinity Metals operations.

This approach is intended to streamline the process, ensure consistency in market engagement, and demonstrate that local sourcing opportunities have been adequately explored across the Group prior to engaging external or foreign service providers. This is to ensure that VAT Exemptions are applied for foreign services engagements from RMB, MINECOFIN.

Therefore, EOI 4Flow PRs which have been raised for Micromine, Microsurvey, Roscience, Deswik of Rutongo Mines & Trinity Musha Mines should be cancelled and Trinity Nyakabingo Mines 4Flow PRs will be used.

These changes in Expression of Interest (EOI) publication to be applied for current and future needs/requirements.

Should you require any clarification, please let me know.

Kind regards,
