China’s ‘New Normal’

Slower but better quality growth

Rebalancing and diversifying economy

Shift to consumer-led demand

Focus on the environment and sustainability

More equitable distribution of benefits

Importance of innovation emphasised

STUDY GROUPS MAIN OBJECTIVES & FUNCTIONS

To conduct consultations and exchanges of information on the international copper, nickel, lead & zinc economies.

To improve statistics on these metals.

To increase market transparency.

To undertake studies on issues of interest to the Groups.

To consider special problems or difficulties that exist or may arise in these metal’s international economies. The Study Groups endeavour to provide its membership with the most accurate, comprehensive and timely information on capacities, production, usage, trade, stocks, prices, technologies, research and development, and other areas that may influence the supply and demand for copper, nickel, lead & zinc.

EXTREMER WEARTHER CONDITIONS (El Niño impact) Drought in the central part of Chile affecting the mining industry after operations were affected by severe rain at the beginning of 2015 Los Bronces total net impact of water constraints in 1H2015 is 28kt Cu. Centinela copper in concentrate production for 1H2015 was 4.7% lower reflecting lower throughput as a result of the heavy rains in the Atacama Desert in March. Los Pelambres production impacted by protesters that blocked access to the mine for ten days seeking action to help alleviate the current drought conditions in the region. (-15kt Cu) In 3Q2015 Grasberg milling operations impacted by a reduction in process water available under El Nino conditions (-10kt Cu) OK Tedi mine closed in August as dry weather is preventing navigation in the Fly river to access the mine (-30kt Cu) In Zambia reduced rainfall let to electricity shortage with power being reduced by 30% to the mining industry.

2015/16 World Copper Mine Production Forecast

24

Recent supply constrains referred led to a downward revision in mine production growths since last ICSG forecast (April) After balancing supply constrains and additional output from new or expanded projects, ICSG expected that world copper mine production might grow by around 1% in 2015 (4% expected in April) and 4% 2016 (5% in April), reaching 18.7Mt copper this year and increasing to 19.5Mt in 2016.

Most of the projects starting in 2014 and also in 2015/2016 are producing concentrates which combined with the recovery in concentrate production in Indonesia will lead to higher growth rates in world concentrate production In 2015, Indonesia and Peru will be the biggest contributors to mine production growth with production declining in Chile, the USA, Zambia and the DRC In 2016 Indonesia, Chile, Peru and Zambia will be the biggest contributors to growth DRC 2015/2016 output impacted by announced production cuts

26

Chinese refined production is continuing its expansion trend although at more “New normal” lower growth levels than the 14% average annual growth of the last three years (avg 6% for 2015/2016) China will still remain by far the biggest contributor to refined production growth in 2015/2016 Chile and the DRC production expected to decline due to decreases in SX-EW output SX-EW expansion in Zambia and Mexico contributing to world growth After strong growth of 7% in 2014, world copper refined production expected to grow by around 1% and 3% respectively in 2015 and 2016

2015/2016 World Refined Copper Usage Forecast

Following growth of around 7% in 2014, ICSG expects world apparent refined usage in 2015 to decline by 1.2%. This is mainly because apparent demand in China is expected to remain essentially flat, although underlying “real” demand growth in China is estimated by others at around 3-4% (lower than the 4.5-5% anticipated growth in April). On the other hand, usage in the rest of the world is expected to decline by 1.5% impacted lower growth in the world economy For 2016, the growth in world apparent refined usage is expected at around 3% with underlying Chinese industrial demand growth expected at around 4%. Usage in the rest of the world is expected to increase by about 2%.

ICSG World Copper forecast (Oct 2015) – summary table

ICSG projections for 2015 indicate that the market should essentially remain balanced, while in 2016 ICSG forecasts a small deficit of around 130Kt as demand growth outpaces production growth. This compares with a surplus of 360Kt and 230Kt for 2015 and 2016, respectively, forecast at our April 2015 meeting. The revisions reflect substantial changes in market conditions since April 2015. Although a downward revision has been made to global usage in view of lower than anticipated growth in China, larger downward adjustments have been made to production as a result of recent announcements of production cuts.

The International Copper Study Group recognizes that numerous factors create significant uncertainty, and that the global market balances could vary from those projected currently

1/ Based on a formula for the difference between the projected copper availability in concentrates and the projected use in primary refined production; 2/ Allowance for supply disruptions based on average ICSG forecast deviations for previous 5 years

However much of this is owed to the rapid expansion of Peru copper mining industry Africa and Asia are increasing their share from 5% and 17% in 2000 to 13% and 22% by 2018 respectively due to the start-up of new projects.

Looking into the future mining companies are starting now to look at possible offshore deep-sea minerals exploration. The oceans represent around 70% of the world surface and its floor is believed to contain important mineral resources among which are copper, zinc, nickel, manganese, gold and silver. To meet increasing copper demand, the discovery and exploration of new resources will be crucial and sea floor deposits could represent an important opportunity for additional supply. However, the challenge is to be able to exploit those deposits efficiently and turn them into economically-viable operations ICSG identified three off-shore copper projects that could be producing in the near future. Clipperton Fracture Zone in the International Waters of the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and Mexico, Atlantis II Bacin Project in Red Sea, and Solwara 1 project located in the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea Other zones where interest in exploration opportunities has risen are mid-Atlantic Ridge and Southwest Indian Ridge.

China will continue to increase its smelting capacity through expansions and new projects. Indonesia new mining law on banning ore exports leading to the development of new smelter projects in the country In most countries, the increase in smelting production capacity until 2018 is mainly due to expansions at existing plants but some new smelters projects are planned in China, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, and Zambia. Beyond 2018, a series of potential smelter projects have been announced with no firm confirmation yet.

Final Remarks • China’s stainless industry has expanded rapidly in recent years. China

economy is moving from investment driven growth to a more sustainable model centred on consumption, innovation and price mechanism. Key policy changes are: curb overcapacity, protect the environment, allocate resources according to the price mechanism. This will have a medium-long term effect on stainless steel production.

• The increase of NPI production in China has been in recent years the real game changer in the nickel market. Its gradual reduction due to the Indonesian ban on ore export will require the use of alternative raw material sources, at least in the short term.

• What effect will the investments in new downstream projects in Indonesia have on the world nickel supply/demand balance and ultimately on the nickel price in coming years?
