24 Iron Ore / Steel Markets Update 24

25 Jul-14 Aug-14 Sep-14 Oct-14 Nov-14 Dec-14 Jan-15 Feb-15 Mar-15 Apr-15 May-15 Jun-15 Iron Ore Price Recovery Price had declined steadily during the financial year to a low of c.$47/t, but recovered to >$60/t on the back of lower physical availability (especially for May / June) and a large focus on iron ore company stress Platts 62% benchmark price CFR China (US$/dmt) General steady decline over financial year Accelerated over Easter seeing a decline of c.$9/t over the holiday period reaching a low of c.$46/t (Platts) However market has since recovered some of those losses with spot (Platts) averaging US$60.95/dmt CFR China in May and continued into June at >$60/dmt Recent relevant news flow: Vale higher cost production (30mtpa), potential for reduction Increased news flow regarding financial stress of iron ore miners and reduced physical availability of cargoes likely contributors to improved market conditions Source: Platts data as at 18 June BHP and Vale have both signalled a slow down in their expansions - Major iron ore miners placed on Negative CreditWatch by S&P 25

26 Recent price levels testing significant portions of the industry supply curve At recent iron ore prices approximately 400 million tonnes of global supply is uneconomic.

28 Project Delays Helping Future Demand / Supply Balance It is common for new supply to come on line slower than originally planned Project delivery outcomes continue to be slower than originally forecast By Number of Projects By Tonnes of Capacity p.a. > A number of new major projects continue to progress (ie Roy Hill, S11D) which will come to market over the coming years - In some instances, however, these will replace legacy production which is tailing off or uneconomic > However, there have been significant delays to new projects or project expansions which affect the medium term expected demand and supply balance: - Sino Iron Stage 2, projects in West Africa, Baosteel/Aurizon WPIOP - Smaller players such as CSN (20mt) and Usiminas (12mt) have postponed expansion projects > Many new greenfields projects promoted by companies outside the big 4 delayed due to: - Economics require higher pricing - Infrastructure needs - Funding hurdles > Changes in new project development affect expected demand / supply balance and hence expected future prices - Project pipeline highly dependent on market sentiment and conditions delayed or cancelled expansions may be reinstated if conditions improved Source: Citi Research, May
