THE YEAR IN CONTEXT

A turbulent and challenging operating environment

  • No loss of life in 2015
  • Price decline severely impacted earnings and profitability
  • Sishen production underperformance, but in line with revised Q3 guidance
  • Kolomela continued to perform well
  • Cost and capital management delivered R4.0bn reduction in controllable costs
  • Net debt reduced 42% to R4.6bn
  • Dividend suspended in 2015

REPOSITIONING THE BUSINESS FOR LOWER PRICES

Actions taken during the year

  • Operational focus on value (cash generation) versus volume
  • Sishen reconfigured to a lower cost pit shell
  • Kolomela waste profile optimised and incremental ramp up of low cost tonnes

continues

  • Thabazimbi closure in progress
  • Full review of capital expenditure to reduce, cancel or defer
  • Rationalisation of operating costs
  • Reduced overheads, study costs and support services headcount

R4.0bn REDUCTION IN CONTROLLABLE COSTS

Strong focus on cash preservation

  • On mine cash costs reduced by R1.1bn
  • Despite growth in mining volumes and lower production at Sishen
  • Sishen mining cost down 8% in real terms
  • Overheads down by R900m
  • Corporate office overhead cut, study cost optimised and headcount reduced to target of

R1.2bn set at 1H15

  • SIB capex reduction of ~R2bn
  • Lower fleet procurement and optimisation of related support infrastructure at the mines

RESPONSE TO FURTHER DETERIORATION IN PRICE

Sishen reconfigured to lower cost pit shell

Objectives

  • Transition mine to lower cost of production
  • Ensure sustainability at lower prices

Impact (2016 – 2020)

  • Production ~27Mtpa
  • Waste ~135Mtpa to 150Mtpa
  • Average strip ratio of 3.5 (2016–2020)
  • LOM strip ratio being optimised
  • No material change to LOM
  • Estimated reserve reduction of ~150Mt

MAINTAINING COST REDUCTION MOMENTUM

  • 1. Non controllable costs: logistics, freight costs, royalties.

Breakeven price anticipated to reduce to ˂$40/t for 2016

  • Breakeven target achieved ($41/t vs $45/t set in 1H15)

Controllable costs

  • >$10/t YoY reduction in controllable costs planned for 2016
  • Key savings to be derived from Sishen reconfiguration
  • Continued focus on SIB capex savings, on mine cash cost reduction and overhead

cost optimisation

Non controllable costs

  • Volatility in non controllable costs anticipated to continue
  • Freight rates at historical lows and R/$ may remain weak
  • Non controllables difficult to forecast

STRONG COMMITMENT TO CAPITAL PRESERVATION

De-leveraging balance sheet a key priority

  • Debt reduced by 42% due to cost focus, capital preservation and dividend suspended
  • Debt position anticipated to improve should current market conditions prevail
  • Focus remains on:
  • Protecting margin and cash
  • Lowering net debt and improving covenant headroom

GLOBAL CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION DECLINED

Source: WSA, GTIS.

Down in all major regions

  • Global crude steel production declined

2.9% in 2015

  • China’s crude steel production declined

notwithstanding record steel exports

  • JKT’s crude steel production moderated on

weak domestic demand and increased competition in export markets

  • Rising steel imports and capacity closures

impacted Europe

  • US steel output declined 10.5% on soft

domestic demand and cheap imports

  • Global contraction gathered pace in

second half of the year

Growth from majors partially offset by supply rationalisation from juniors

  • Seaborne exports increased by 42Mt up 3%
  • Minas Rio and rising shipments to Malaysia

supported a 8% increase in Brazilian exports

Key processes underway

Transition to be completed during 1H16

  • Equipment being moved, sold or retained for future use
  • Headcount rationalisation
  • Section 189 notice issued
  • ~45% reduction in workforce

(2,633 permanent and 1,300 contractors)

  • Sustainable savings of ~R550m from 2016
  • Executing operating model and improving compliance to plan
  • Exploring further opportunities to optimise production through

utilisation of spare plant capacity

  • On going consultation with key stakeholders

KOLOMELA MINE

Production target exceeded

  • Production of 12.1Mt, up 4%, due to improvements

in plant efficiencies and throughput rates

  • Waste of 45.7Mt, 18% lower as a result of

cessation of pre-stripping in the third pit

  • Mining in the 3rd pit was deferred to 2019

to preserve cash, resulting in additional production focus on pits currently being mined

  • Increase in ore reserves of 24Mt (13%) with the

inclusion of Kapstevel South pit. LOM has been extended by 2 years

  • Strip ratio 2016–2018 is ~3.6

  • Kolomela
  • ~12Mt in 2016; increase to 13Mt by 2017
  • Waste ~46–48Mt in 2016–2020, life of mine increased by 2 years

Export Sales

  • Targeting ~40Mt in 2016

Market Fundamentals

  • Supply growth continues

  • 1. BHP, Rio Tinto, Vale & FMG.
  • Non-traditional suppliers increasingly vulnerable to low iron ore pricing environment
  • Extensive cost cutting drives combined with favourable movements in producer

currencies, freight, and oil has resulted in a lower and flatter iron ore cost curve

  • Majors account for 98.6% of the total tonnage placed in the first three quartiles of the
