1 Sustainable Mining through Continuous Operational Cost Control and Decrease of It Over the Mine Life Saso Kitanoski Director Sales and Service CEE Making the big difference to our customers

2 Mining Industry Trends Energy and water efficient technology and solutions are needed throughout the industry Personnel shortage Safety and reliability as priority targets for the whole industry. Declining ore grades, more complex ore bodies and higher demand of minerals call for higher crushing volumes and thus efficiency Supply limitations in minerals production with unstable Metal Prices Continued cost pressure and need for capital efficiency 2 Metso Metso general presentation Oct 2014

3 Metso s New Technologies Targeting Sustainable Technologies with Lower Operating Costs Metso s mobile in-pit crushing and conveying systems reduce the need for trucks. Metso s new-generation High-pressure grinding roll is one of the most energy-efficient comminution methods available, and can eliminate traditional tumbling mills in some applications. Tailings Processing Technologies: Dry Tailing Deposition, Back Fill and Paste Technologies Reduce the Water needed in Tailings by 50% Metso s new HPx cone crusher range increases reduction efficiency by 20% Metso's VERTIMILL TM Vertical Grinding Mill can bring up to 40% savings in energy consumption while improving finer grinding results. The focus in separation is increasing energy efficiency by improving coarse particle flotation recovery. Full closed water circuit with highly efficient IPS Thickening and VPA Filtration unit. 3 Metso Metso general presentation Oct 2014

5 Altay Polymetally, Kazakhstan (Copper-Gold) Fully mobile; Apron feeder (MAF210) + Lokotrack (LT200E) + Lokolink (LL16) + Mobile stacker (MS16) Feed material: Cu-Au-ore Solid density: 2.70 t/m 3 Capacity 2500 tph Annual: 14MTPA Total weight: 850 t Replacing overall Dump Trucks Operation Does not require Road Preparation or Water Waste 5 Metso

6 CASE: Antamina mine, Peru Challenge The Metso Solution Results Increase mill throughput while hitting harder ores Process integration and optimization and 2 x VTM1000 Regrind Mill throughput increased from 2600 tph to 4500 tph while energy consumption decreased 25% 6 Metso The Metso Way April 2015

7 Anglo Gold Ashanti Iduapriem mine in Ghana A life-cycle of improved results In 1997, Metso recommended potential improvements at the site. In 2002, the site added a second SAG mill and signed a mill lining supply and services contract with Metso. In 2003, Metso process engineering conducted a review of the post-expansion grinding circuit. In 2005, Metso executed a mining and milling process integration and optimization project. Results: reduced operating costs, increased availability and throughput. In 2008, Anglo Gold expanded the mine based on Metso s recommendations: a second ball mill and a complete new crushing plant replaced the old one. Metso signed a 3-year life-cycle services contract, including on-site maintenance and parts supply. A quick calculation suggests an increase in value to the operation of approx. $400m over the life of the mine 7 Metso Metso general presentation Oct 2014

8 SASA Mine Macedonia Long Term Partnership Process Design, Capacity Increase, Energy Efficiency, Increased Availability vs OPEX In 2005, Metso designed the process with exchange of production of collective for selective concentrate In 2006, new crushing plant redesigned grinding circuit, flotation and filtration processes were installed Result: Capacity increased from 340 K TPA to 630 K TPA = 53% Energy Efficiency Increase of 42% In 2009, Metso executed a second expansion on capacity: installing better classification and additional flotation capacity.. Results: Capacity Increase from 630KTPA to 890 K TPA Energy Efficiency Increase of 24% In 2009, SASA and Metso sign the long-term services contract with a target of increasing the overall availability of the plant and decrease of the running OPEX Result: Overall Plant Availability 96% OPEX Concentrator down by 14% Result Achieved Due To Constant Implementation of New Technologies GP Cone, RCS Flotation Units, New Reagent Dosing System, VPA Filter Press and Long Term Services Engagement 8 Metso Metso general presentation Oct 2014
