  7. Amongst the Lowest Cost Producers in the World Trona Based Production is Significantly Lowest-Cost Production Process Cost Advantaged U.S. Trona Solvay Hou • As a producer of natural soda ash from trona, Ciner Resources has a significant cost Mining and Synthetic Synthetic Process advantage compared to synthetic producers refining trona production production around the world Salt (brine), – Trona-based production consumes Salt (brine), Raw Ammonia, Trona Limestone, less energy and produces fewer Materials Carbon Ammonia undesirable by-products than Dioxide synthetic production 4 – 6 10 – 14 10 – 14 Energy – Synthetic producers incur additional Usage MMBtu / ton MMBtu / ton MMBtu / ton costs associated with the storage, disposal, or attempted resale of by- Deca Calcium Ammonium products By- (able to process Chloride Chloride Products into soda ash) (waste product) (co-product) • Even accounting for higher freight and logistics costs, Ciner Resources is cost 1/2~3/4 cost of competitive with synthetic soda ash competing processes 1 2.0x producers to most export markets around 1.4x 1.3x Relative the world 1.0x Soda Ash Production • Ciner Resources consistently operates at U.S. Trona European China China Hou (Natural Gas) Solvay Solvay Costs high utilization rates and routinely sells 100% of its production 8 Source: IHS and Ciner estimates

  8. Most Efficient Soda Ash Producer in Green River Basin Ciner has the highest soda ash production per employee and the best energy efficiency in the Green River Basin. Green River’s Most Energy Efficient Production Per Employee (x10 ST, 2016) Producer ( MMBtu/ton, 2016) 640 568 Peer 1 482 Peer 2 414 Peer 3 8 Source: State of Wyoming Mining Report, Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

  9. Trona Beds Closest to the Surface Beds 24 & 25 (closest to surface) are the key for lower manufacturing costs as lower halite impurities and shallow beds are conducive to efficient mining Schematic Section – Green River Basin 10

  10. Unique Pond Network Lowers Ore to Ash Ratio Wider pond surface area and a unique pond network facilitate the minimization of soda ash lost in processing Trona Advantageous Facility Layout  Ponds enable Ciner to recover soda ash via deca rehydration otherwise lost in processing Trona  Technological innovation enables Ciner to be more cost efficient Ore to Ash Ratio (1) 1.80 1.74 1.61 1.60 1.59 1.56 1.52 1.52 1.50 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 11 (1) Amount of short tons of Trona ore required to produce one short ton of soda ash/liquor

  11. Ability to Execute on Growth Opportunities Ciner has the balance sheet flexibility to capitalize on organic expansion & acquisition opportunities to drive growth Balance Sheet Flexibility to Support Growth Ciner Resources Leverage and Liquidity  Approximately ~$81 million in current available revolver capacity  Conservative leverage profile with <1.0x Net Debt / EBITDA  Well-capitalized sponsor to support growth with deep operational and industry expertise Capitalize on Organic Expansion Opportunities  Emerging Market Growth  Debottlenecking, deca and efficiency enhancements driving approximately 1-4% annual production volume growth Pursue Accretive Acquisitions  Natural Resources / Industrial Minerals  Logistics Assets  Assets currently existing or to be developed at Ciner Enterprises Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. For a description of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to the most comparable measures 12 calculated in accordance to GAAP, see the Appendix to this presentation.

  13. Market Trends China prices still strong  China export prices in February at highest level in 5 years.  Government environmental inspections beginning again, which are expected to result in temporary shutdowns, leading to a reduction in soda ash supply  China Soda Ash Association calling for a 10% reduction in production between mid-April and mid-June Other international markets  South America and Middle East pricing under pressure  Expansion in Turkey pushed European synthetic producers to offer tons into other markets at lower prices Domestic prices flat so far in 2017  Ciner Turkey expansion caused a drop in prices as global market adjusts to new capacity coming online Confidential 13
