Bulk of the work on base systems and processes Low hanging fruit, adopt/adapt from other businesses

Some limited examples of leading practice Value chain throughput initiatives Mine operations equipment utilization Mine operations training

• Mine design risks • Mining rate – in particular vertical

development – Hydraulic shovel reliability, wall control, D&B performance

• Major component maintenance risks (some plant moving out of component honeymoon period)

• Potential catastrophic failure of critical piece of equipment (thickener rakes, crusher motor, etc.)

• Inexperienced workforce (safety culture, peak maintenance challenges, increased operating demands). Continued expat reductions (350 in 2013 to 175 current)

• Revised mining sequence on track

• Improvement projects in place, mining rates are tracking to plan and pit slope issues are being managed

• Truck engine replacement program is ongoing

• Reliability issues and forward planning in the concentrator are receiving significant focus

• All critical roles are filled, with ongoing leadership toolkit rollout.

• Continued reduction in expat support and promotion of national employees to leadership roles

• Associated surface infrastructure (Underground Mining offices, control room & associated facilities).

Operational Capability • Underground Operations team

(production + ongoing construction + maintenance + technical services).

• Mongolian workforce with appropriate expatriate support).

• Safety systems and supporting safe work procedures.

• Training systems and capability • Cave Management system,

including appropriate technical oversight.

• Asset Management systems • Support & logistics (major supply

contracts and contractors).

Key Aspects

• Development of HNL1, by panel cave mining method

• A high grade ore body ~2km long and 280m wide, containing 499Mt ore at 1.66% Cu, 0.34g/t Au

• >200km of underground lateral development

• Five vertical shafts and a decline incorporating conveyor to surface

• Concentrator throughput of 100ktpd is not expanded, but there is an upgrade to enable processing of higher grade feed

• Associated surface infrastructure

• Hugo North orebody is

– Highly faulted

– Fair rock mass strength

– Relatively high insitu (horizontal) stresses and abutment stresses

• This is good for promoting caving and minimising secondary breaking

• The challenge and key focus for the Oyu Tolgoi design and operating plan is around

– Maintaining stability of orebody development drives

– Managing draw interaction and draw control

• Cave Growth & Flow monitoring systems will be in place before start up of the undercut:

– Seismic system

– TDR & open holes

– Smart/network markers

– Cave Tracker

• Regular surface subsidence monitoring will be carried out
