COMMODITIES AND OPERATING EBITDA − Comparison of margins indicates a 50-80ktpa/copper mine meets OZ Minerals EBITDA materiality threshold − Other commodities require significantly larger operations by industry standards which then attracts the major companies Annual Metal Production for EBITDA of US$200M 6,700 7,000 1,400 6,000 1,200 4,900 Annual kt (Gold in koz) 1,000 5,000 800 670 645 600 430 408 342 400 200 78 65 50 43 35 28 2.5 3 0 High grade iron Gold (Oz) Zinc Copper Nickel Laterite Nickel Sulphide Uranium ore Commodity Metal production for $200M EBITDA (Long Term) Metal production for $200M EBITDA (Spot) Source: OZ Minerals (median cash costs, OZ LT prices) OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 87

  73. COPPER OPPORTUNITIES - SIZE & NUMBER The probabilities of achieving a material business for OZ are much higher in copper as there are significantly more operations producing >50ktpa compared to other commodities.

  74. COPPER OPPORTUNITIES - SIZE & TYPE − 50-150ktpa copper mines are often too small for the major companies but have significant technical, financial and marketing challenges for smaller companies − 50-150ktpa represents a “Window of Opportunity” for a company of OZ Minerals’ size and capability. Not a lot of other companies compete in this space − Porphyry and IOCG deposits dominate this window and are hence the main exploration and acquisition targets GLOBAL COPPER DEPOSITS – EBITDA VS PRODUCTION Major Companies OZ Minerals Window of Opportunity Source: OZ Minerals OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 89

  76. ANNOUNCEMENT OF HEADS OF AGREEMENT WITH IMX*: IN LINE WITH THE OZ STRATEGY Key terms of Heads of Agreement: Covers exploration ground near Prominent Hill. − Focus on copper-gold. Any iron rich discovery remains with IMX − 51% stake, expenditure of $20m over five years, after which IMX contributes − Potential to increase to a 75% stake if we sole fund a further $20m − Post completion of BFS, IMX can either contribute or convert to a royalty − Equity placement of 14.9% stake in IMX at a 25% premium − Rationale: Geologically extremely prospective ground (see exploration presentation) − Natural synergies with Prominent Hill allows for development of smaller projects − than on a stand-alone basis Very early stage but potential to fast track any discovery − Investing in what we know (copper/gold, Australia) − * Subject to separate release OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 91

  77. OZ MINERALS’ GROWTH STRATEGY Objective: top quartile total shareholder return in the resources sector. Strategy: to quickly and sensibly assemble a pipeline of projects to support growth objective over the next ten years Tactics: − Copper is the preferred metal, favourable fundamentals, many opportunities. − Identify projects that matter to OZ in scale, returns, location, economies • 50-150 ktpa operations represent a “Window of Opportunity” • Take advantage of industry consolidation • Projects requiring development capital or risk reduction • Strategic holdings or joint ventures with junior companies − Flexible approach to how such investments are made − Key is the quality of the asset OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 92

  82. FOCUS AREAS: ORGANISATION, REPORTING & PROCESSES − Organisation structure adjusted to suit scale and scope of future business − Reporting systems must be tailored to information requirements of management and Board • Former system inappropriate • Requires significant work to restructure processes − IT and Communications • Complex exercise required to meet FIRB undertakings regarding Prominent Hill – now satisfied • Review, redesign and implement necessary changes to IT systems to meet reporting and productivity requirements OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 97

  83. FOCUS AREAS: FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY − At 30 June 2009 • Functional currency of OZ Minerals & primary operating entities: US$ − Functional currency of some subsidiaries: A$ • Presentation currency: A$ − AASB 121 defines functional currency as “ the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ”, this being “ normally the one in which it primarily generates and expends cash ” − Material events in considering functional currency: • Sale of assets • Repayment of bank debt • Shift in capital structure & strategic direction − Based on these material events, Board & management conclude that functional currency of OZ Minerals & all subsidiaries is A$ with effective date 1 July 2009 OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 98

  84. FOCUS AREAS: FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY IMPACT With appreciating A$/US$, both A$ and US$ functional currency (FC) result in foreign exchange loss. Estimated foreign 12 months ending 31/12/09 A$ m currency loss: A$ FC from 1/7/09 125 If US$ FC had continued 160 Notes: Includes A$59m realised loss on actual US$ conversion to A$ to date. Assumes A$/US$ is 0.915 for remainder of 2009. If A$/US$ varies +/- 0.02 at year-end then A$ FC loss varies by +/- A$ 15m Counter-intuitive impact under both scenarios arises from combination of: − Functional currency must be determined for each individual entity. − At 30 June 2009, subsidiaries were mixture of A$ FC and US$ FC. − Different monetary balances exposed to foreign exchange in A$ FC and US$ FC A$ Functional Currency US$ Functional Currency Translate net US$ asset position comprising US$ denominated: Translate net A$ liability position comprising A$ denominated: + + cash cash + + tax balances debtors - - convertible bond intra-group loans (FX loss not eliminated on consolidation) - creditors - provisions OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 99

  85. FOCUS AREAS: CASH MANAGEMENT − Cash invested with range of A-1+ banks across spread of maturities to mitigate risks − Determination of currency mix for cash balance • Cash generated from: − Asset sales in June: US$ proceeds − Operations: US$ revenues less A$ and US$ costs • Possible uses for cash − Expansion & new developments – likely currencies: US$ or A$ − Acquisitions - likely currencies: US$ or A$ − Debt repayment: US$ (Convertible bond) − Capital management: A$ • Currency mix of cash balance adjusted to align with possible uses − Aim is to have US$/A$ cash mix between 60/40 and 40/60 depending on company needs − As at 26/11/09, cash = US$569m + A$445m (58/42 split) − Conversion of US$ to A$ realised loss of A$59m − = Realised portion to date of estimated foreign currency loss OZ MINERALS • 30 NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 100
