Steel industry drives iron ore market

• Unprecedented demand for steel

making raw materials; Chinese steel

will continue to drive world steel

output for ~ another 10 years; but

India, Asia and Central Europe ‗re-

industrialising‘ of growing importance

• Consolidation to continue

• Higher global industry privatisation.

Was 23% 1980, now ~78%. Good for

steel price stability. More private mills

in China.

• Big players securing up and down

stream. Break ‗big 3 grip‘. More in

mining…opportunity

• BF sector forecast to continue

dominance in all regions except

Middle East.

• Scrap availability and substitutes

supply issues: est 30+ years before

China becomes a net producer of

steel scrap

• China modernising Integrated route

capacity, adding significant pellet

capacity, and raising pellet ratios

• Global iron ore consumption growing

rapidly: China led.

• Global supply to grow. Large capacity

‗wave‘ due to hit market ~2009-2011.

Many late, over cost

• Big-3, then large gaps, although

ambitions exist; Anglo, FMG

• Cost curve steeper. Getting steeper

as China adds more high cost low

grade magnetite capacity. Big-3

suffering from strong demand cycle

cost impacts

• Steel integrated companies pursuing

resources; but will probably be green-

field, higher cost

• Pellets will continue to play important

role in meeting this demand growth

• Productivity benefits of pellets in

blast furnaces; leading to higher

BFP rates in Blast Furnaces eg

China

• Renewed interest in direct

reduced iron (DRI) production —

largely pellet-based

• Limited sources of high grade/

direct-charge lump ore

• Other refined ores (eg Sinter)

have environmental issues

• Significant addition to global capacity

planned to 2017 yet capacity

Utilisation forecast to remain high

The case for blast furnace (BF) pellets

The trend is for lower cost of production and

lower impurity steel

• Lower Gangue content; especially SiO2.

Lower SiO2:

• lowers slag volumes

• lowers BF fuel usage rates

• improves productivity

• Low phosphorus. Critical for Flat Steel product producers

• Low alkalis.

• lowers coke rates

• assists to improve productivity

What Iron & Steelmakers need

Pellet consumption rate will increase in Blast

Furnaces

• High quality, direct charge lump supply is declining

• Direct charge materials will increase as iron makers

pursue:

• Lower Coke rates

• greater BF productivity

• Sinter plants are an environmental problem with high

SO2, NO2, CO2 output.

• Rapidly growing DR demand. CVRD and Samarco now

focusing more on DR

Pricing: BF Pellets

• Future pellet consumption rates forecast to rise in all markets in reaction to:

• Environmental pressure on sinter plants

• Dwindling high quality lump ore supply

• BF Pellet prices at record levels in real terms (Vale BFP to Europe; 2008$)

• Conversion cost fines to pellets ~USc18/dmtu

• Premium last 10 years: USc20 to 85/dmtu

• 2008 Premium USc85.79/dmtu … due to extreme under-supply

How Ferrexpo pricing works

• International pricing typically normalised as ‗delivered at customer‘s plant‘

• Nothing new in Asian freight premia - Europe has priced on comparative landed cost for decades

• This ‗delivered price‘ actually computed into complex ‗value in use‘ (in the blast furnace) by customers to rank holistic attractiveness

of supply options

• International price forecasts for pellets typically based on FOB Tubarao

• However, Ferrexpo average DAF/FOB price receives a premium to FOB Tubarao price

• Largely due to transport costs

• Also can include logistics service premia from certain customers for ―JIT‖ (small lot, just in time) delivery

• Landed cost of Brazilian BF pellets (DAF/FOB + ocean freight + lightering + intra-Europe rail/barge) into Ferrexpo‘s major

Traditional market customers is significantly higher than that of Ferrexpo (rail direct, or rail + barge)

• Landed cost of such higher cost pellets plus value in use is Ferrexpo target pricing for its customers

• Ferrexpo has adopted a delivered price / value in use approach with its major customers in recent years, and is now seeking to

maximise its DAF/FOB prices on competitive value

• Based on 2008/9 pricing on our term contracts, Ferrexpo is running at an average c. $10/t higher than 2008/9 FOB Tubarao

benchmark price

• In Traditional markets (~80% of Ferrexpo sales) that premium is up to c. $19/t

• Accordingly, to convert an industry price; this premium must be added to the Vale BF pellets FOB Tubarao price to calculate

Ferrexpo prices

Page 38: Title 28pt Arial bold...after it is made publicly available by the Company or any of their respective advisers. Any dealing or encouraging others to deal on the basis of such information

37

Forecasting Prices

Ferrexpo internally run „Floor‟ and „Long Run‟ price forecasts, defined as;

• Floor Price: lowest point it is expected that price may fall to for a short period of time

• Long Run Price: mid cycle price from approximately 5 years out and to about 20 years out

• Both types of forecast can be tested with simple scenarios driven by varying demand/supply outlooks

„Floor‟ approach:

• Based on belief that average industry price typically set based on cash cost plus minimum acceptable profit margin for majority of supply curve, and that lowest point in historic price curve was low point above cash cost (real)

• Escalating that Fines price low-point to the current year based on an assumption of industry cash costs movements gives a conservative Fines ‗Floor‘

• To this should be added the current cash cost of conversion of pellet fines to pellets to create a ‗Floor‘ pellet price

• Since this is a benchmark equivalent (FOB Tubarao), the Ferrexpo price premium is then added

„Long Run‟ approach:

• Several different approaches used, including

• Extrapolating industry cost curve, and estimating future cash cost of the ‗marginal supply‘

• Floor price + the Cost of attracting new greenfield entrants to invest/supply

• As with ‗Floor‘, this forecast yields a benchmark equivalent (FOB Tubarao), to which should be added the Ferrexpo premium

Demand - per capita steel consumption

Per capita steel consumption (kg)

Countries in „infrastructure building‟ mode can

rise to rates of 700 to 1,000kg/capita, then

settle back to long run of ~300kg/c

Per capita consumption is climbing rapidly in

Asia driven by investments in:

• industry

• transport infrastructure

• construction

• overall improved standards of living

Based on experience in Japan, S Korea &

Taiwan, China may have another 10 years of

strong consumption levels

India – significant forecast growth ...the next

China ???

‗Steel super-cycle‘

…..So what has changed from past days of cyclicality?

• Structural demand growth explosion

China !!!

India

Eastern Europe re-industrialisation

Russia

Latin America

Asia

• Significant reduction in government ownership in global Steel capacity

• Iron ore industry highly consolidated. Profit driven players

• Cost curve dramatic change in last 5 years as China demand exploded

Flatter on low end. Steeper on high end driven by high cost new supply

= high cost marginal supply ~4 x higher than 2003 (Ave costs ~2 x)

= raises long term price

= improved industry average margins

Existing and new capacity cost inflation: Drivers: US$ weakness, energy costs, labour and logistics cost

• Next generation Tier-1 iron ore assets will be slow and high cost to commercialise….and possibly few

Demand and supply going forward

Seaborne Iron Ore

• Iron Ore supply-demand Forecast to be in deficit

2008-09. New supply capacity enters 2011-

2013, then trending to ‗managed balance‘

• 2011-13 potential oversupply moderated by;

• reduction in high cost supply from India and

China; which is positive for sea-borne iron ore

trade.

• Shelving of high cost, or geographically risky

projects

• Iron Ore Majors manage supply to cycle…..75%

of the planned new supply is from the ‗Big-3‘.

• Steel majors with upstream positions also

manage supply to cycles

• Premiums for high grade and direct-charge

feed (eg pellets) is likely to improve, especially

as China average grade is falling…possibly

rapidly

Steel feeds- tight for a few years yet

- transition into relative balance from 2013
