(Steel and Mining)

– Mining Segment Safety performance has

also improved significantly

– Trending towards world class standards

Mining reported separately since Q1 2011

• All raw materials consumed from ArcelorMittal mines that could practically be sold outside the Group are now transferred internally at market prices

• Production from “captive” mines (limited by logistics or quality) continues to be transferred at cost-plus to our steel facilities

• Mining segment reported 2011 EBITDA of $3.1bn based on 28Mt iron ore and 4.9Mt of coal shipped at market prices (internally and externally)

• Mining segment represents ~30% of Group EBITDA in 2011

• Steel segments are now more comparable on a like-for-like basis driving performance improvement

New Mining segmentation promotes improved operating decisions and optimal capital allocation

Extensive iron ore reserve base

(1) Iron ore reserve estimates for Eastern Europe (Bosnia) and CIS (Ukraine and Kazakhstan) are reported only as aggregated proven and probable reserves as the methodology used in these countries (CIS standards) to estimate the exact degree of assurance and delimitation between the two categories cannot be fully defined.

Total iron ore reserves of 3.8 billion metric tonnes

• These reserves constitute the foundation of our life of mine plans including our planned growth strategy

• A very significant resource base that will constitute the basis for additional potential growth and ensure the

sustainability of our operations

ArcelorMittal’s cost of adding iron ore production capacity is comparable to other major producers

With good project returns

Iron ore production and operating unit cost

(Index base 100=2011)

• Investments in AMMC and Liberia would improve the cost position of iron ore (excluding Baffinland)

• 2015 iron ore cash costs expected to be ~20% lower than 2011 (constant $ basis)

• ArcelorMittal’s iron ore growth projects are competitively placed in terms of capex intensity

• And are well placed on the cost curve

• This means that project returns are attractive even under conservative long-term price assumptions

Baffinland’s Mary River Project feasibility study

progressing

Background

• In partnership with Nunavut, ArcelorMittal has acquired a controlling interest in Baffinland; ArcelorMittal holding is 70%

• Baffinland owns the Mary River project, a tier-1 iron ore resource in northern Canada

Product:

• High Grade: Fe 66%, Phos 0.03, SiO2 2.4%, Al2O3 1.2%

• Significant and scalable resource

• High quality direct shipping iron ore

• Aggressive expansion plan

• Outstanding chemical, metallurgical and handling characteristics

• No washing, concentrating, jigging; crushing & screening only

• 75% of output to be DSP: Direct Shipping Pellet

and 25% Premium Sinter Fines ore

Progress

• Feasibility study underway

• Ongoing environment discussions

Commercial Strategy:

• Build customer base in Atlantic and Pacific growth markets

• Optimise customer and market mix based on logistics and value in use for stable long term demand

• Price products to reflect full value in use premia

Acquisition of Baffinland demonstrates ArcelorMittal’s commitment to building a

world-class mining business

Expected iron ore characteristics of the initial 10 years of

production

DSP:

Fines:

• 66% Fe, 2.4-2.8% SiO2, 1.2% Al2O3, 0.03% P, < 0.1% S

• (75% of output)

• Excellent physical and metallurgical attributes

• Deposit mapped metallurgically to see DSP that is consistent and predictable in blast furnace

• Lump (DSP)/Fines ratio is estimated to be 75%/25% over life of production over life of operations; actual percentage may be greater ~80% however production will ensure stable sales ouput

• ~65-66% Fe, ~2.8-3.4% SiO2, 1.2% Al2O3, 0.03% P, < 0.1% S

• (25% of output)

• Screened analysis (+6.3mm; -6.3mm) on ~350 composite samples thus far indicates lump and fines have ~very similar chemistry; fines average size = 3 to 4 mm

• However, lower Fe content seen in bulk sample; so assumption is that fines will be slightly lower grade with somewhat higher silica

Mining volumes are growing

ArcelorMittal Mining business

• Create world class mining operations

• Ensure appropriate capital allocation for mining business

for long term sustainability and growth

• Focus on mine safety, mine planning, quality, expansion,

capex and logistic

• Ensuring world class project control and management

systems

Mining benefited from higher shipments and higher market prices

Definitions: “Market priced” tonnes represent amounts of iron ore or other raw materials from ArcelorMittal mines that could be sold to third parties on the open market. Market priced tonnes that are not sold to third parties

are transferred from the Mining segment to the Company’s steel producing segments at the prevailing market price. Shipments of raw materials that do not constitute market price tonnes are transferred internally on a cost-

plus basis.

Reserve definitions

Notes on mineral resource and ore reserve estimates

The ore reserve estimates have been prepared in compliance with both the SEC and

NI43-101 requirements. Ore reserve estimates were prepared by competent professional

engineers and geologists based on feasibility studies for greenfield projects and on pre-feasibility

study level of engineering for existing operations to demonstrate that they can be economically

extracted and sold at commercial rate. A commodity price not higher than the last historical three-

year average realized price has been used in any reserve or cash flow analysis used to designate

reserves. There is no evidence that the company could not obtain all the required governmental

permits and environmental authorizations to conduct the mining operations as currently planned.
