Resource statement published March 2012:

• Total measured & indicated resource : 1,027Mt @ 0.51% Cu
• Mineral reserve: 774 Mt @ 0.50% Cu
• Strip ratio 2.2 : 1

Operations:

• Up to 55mtpa to achieve economies of scale (overcome low grade);
• 280,000 – 300,000t Cu production per annum.

Cost efficient production depends on high volume throughput

Status:

• Train 1 = crushing, milling + flotation operating (above design throughput for periods);
• Train 2 = milling + flotation operating;
• Concentrate optimisation = Concentrate deslime operating;
• Slow ramp up to date = Transitional ore metallurgy + power transmission limits.

Milestones:

• Presidential opening = 28 Aug 2015;
• Crusher 2 walked into southern boxcut = 2 Sep 2015;
• Lusaka West transmission lines complete = 12 Sep 2015, awaiting energisation.

Production rampup:

• Power transmission + crushing for full operations end-Oct 2015;
• Recovery optimisation = SAG + Ball frontend deslime operations end-Nov 2015;
• Commercial production by end of 2015.

Consistency improvements and production rampup:

• Drill = Soft ground to date. Focus on training and consumable trials;
• Blast = Fragmentation improved via blast design, product densities + initiation;
• Load = Increased bench heights at deeper RLs. Moving to double side loading;
• Haul = Operator recruitment resolved. Mine dispatch in place;
• Overall = Productivity focus from planning, SIC, training, supervision + maintenance.

Plant: periods above design throughput

Consistency improvements and production rampup:

• Crushing = Conveying improvements, process debottlenecking + fragmentation.
• Milling = More consistent power supply, commissioning punch list, upgraded wear

components + improved crushing.

• Pebble + Secondary crush = now being commissioned.

• Focus now on productivity and efficiency.
• Current site workforce of 5,698 will reduce with project demobilisation over

next 2 months.

$100+ million targeted savings across KMP, KML and FQMO Strategic contract reviews:

• $40m targeted saving – 120 contracts ($800m) identified + renegotiation teams allocated.

Rapid sourcing:

• $10m targeted savings – 20 vendors. Procurement of $100k to $2m per annum.

Warehousing and logistics:

• $40m targeted savings – inventory management, freight and logistics.

Bottom up cost savings:

• $10m targeted savings – usage, optimisation + waste elimination initiatives from the shop

floor. Consolidation of support services between sites:

• Centres of excellence and back office functions.

Maiden resource published December 2012:

• Total measured indicated resource : 40.1Mt @ 1.07% Ni;
• Mineral reserve: 32.7 Mt @ 1.10% Ni;
• Potential to expand Resources at the Enterprise South West Zone

Operations:

• Potential 38,000 – 60,000t Ni production per annum;
• Construction approx 50% complete. Plant will commission on copper ore.

Enterprise Ni project - awaiting go ahead

• 160MW required for full operations
• Softer ore reduces initial requirements
• First Quantum has formally offered

support to ZESCO for augmenting supply

Current situation:

• Kafue (960MW) and Victoria Falls (100MW) turbines not affected;
• Overuse of peaking turbines at Kariba (360MW peaking + 720MW baseload);
• Delays to new generation projects (300MW Maamba coal + 120MW ITTZ).

Kariba drawdown, if turbines run at full rate:

• Oct 2015 = ZESCO water allocation from Zambezi River Authority consumed;
• Dec 2015 = 10% live capacity remaining;
• Jan 2016 = seasonal recharge begins.

Management of supply + demand:

• Makeup Power imports from Mozambique (200MW from Jul + 148MW from Sept);
• ZESCO request for mines to use Makeup Power for 30% of load. Tariffs in discussion;
• Subsequent announcements of Mopani + Baluba mine closures (200-250MW);
• First Quantum has offered ZESCO support for Maamba + ITTZ grid connections.

Town development

26

• 1. Home ownership is a cornerstone of economic empowerment:
• Subsidised rent-to-own program – real economic empowerment starts at home:
• Improves education;
• Improves opportunities to start a business; and
• Improves savings for retirement.
• 2. The town will be a significant multiplier on job creation:
• Sentinel will employ 3,064 direct and contractor personnel;
• A multiplier of between 4-8 is possible for service industries in the town.
• 3. Employee attraction and retention:
• KML seeks a well-rested workforce who live locally and develop the area in

conjunction with the mine.
