Targeted C1 Costs

Key Takeaways

• Reserves increased and overall grades for reserves decreased from 0.94% Ni to 0.85% Ni and 0.08% Co to 0.07% Co

• Estimated metal content is marginally higher as a result of greater ore tonnages despite lower overall grades

• Report’s mine plan is based on 5.85 million tonnes per year sent to autoclaves

• Ambatovy still expected to have attractive profitability and cash flow profile over 30-year life

• C1 costs remain in line with guidance

LONG-TERM FUNDAMENTALS REMAIN STRONG FOR NICKEL

• Nickel market remains in surplus position with LME inventories at record highs

• Strong demand for nickel continues

• Nickel market anticipated to move from surplus to deficit in near term due to:

o continuation of Indonesian ban on nickel ore exports

o future supply growth of major projects is inadequate

ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Updating Calculation of Oil & Gas Unit Operating Costs • Commencing this quarter, Sherritt is reporting average unit operating costs for Cuba on a gross barrel

basis for its Oil and Gas business • Approach is more relevant as operating costs represent costs to produce gross volumes • Average unit operating costs for Cuba now determined by dividing operating costs incurred by gross

production instead of net production • Does not impact P&L or cash flow
