2 Agenda Laterite hydromet options HPAL Heap leaching Capital and operating costs Economics Technology trends
3 Laterite Hydromet Options Caron process (Reductive roast) High pressure acid leach (HPAL) EPAL (Amax) (HPAL & AL) Atmospheric leaching (AL) Atmospheric chloride leach (ACLP) Direct Nickel (atmospheric) (DN) Sulphation atmospheric leach (SAL) Heap leaching (HL)
4 HPAL Process Existing Operations Moa Bay (Sherritt) Murrin Murrin (Minara) Cawse & Bulong (S/D) (Norilsk) Coral Bay (SMMC) Ravensthorpe (S/D) (BHPB) Committed Projects Goro (Vale Inco) Ambatovy (Sherritt) Ramu (MCC) Taganito (SMMC) Planned Projects Gladstone, Vermelho, Weda Bay, Moa Bay expansion
5 Heap Leach Committed Projects None Well Advanced Projects (Demonstration Plants) Yuanjiang - China (Yunnan Tin Group) Çaldag - Turkey (European Nickel) Murrin Murrin (Minara) Niquel do Piauí (Vale) NTUA Greece (Larco) Acoje Philippines (Rusina) Early Development Projects At least 10 projects in early stages of development
6 HPAL Failures Bulong Comments: Never achieved design throughput of 9 ktpa Significant gypsum scaling Operating costs exceeded sales revenues Operating costs - 300% over initial estimates Capital costs - 100% over budget Was a demonstration plant and never commercially viable Direct SX technology was a failure
7 HPAL Failures Cawse Comments: Never achieved design production of 9.2 ktpa Beneficiation circuit was a failure Operating costs exceeded sales revenues Operating costs - 200% over initial estimates Capital costs - 100% over budget Was a demonstration plant and never commercially viable Simplest flowsheet failed due to ore upgrading
8 HPAL Failures Murrin Murrin Never achieved design production of 45 ktpa Actual capacity probably 32 to 34 ktpa Ni Major plant modifications required Operating costs - 400% over initial estimates Capital costs - 100% over budget Comments: Cash flow positive at opex of US$4.97/lb Ni Write-off of capital and Glencore support Brownfield expansion via heap leaching
9 HPAL Failures Ravensthorpe Never achieved design production of 50 ktpa Only achieved 35% of design (BHPB - May 08) Major failure of beneficiation circuit Operating costs never disclosed Capital costs - 100% over budget Comments: HPAL, AL & back-end circuit never proven Major modifications required to front-end Plant sold to First Quantum Minerals
10 HPAL Successes Coral Bay Achieved design rates within 14 months Expanded plant capacity to 22 ktpa in Apr 09 Operating costs never disclosed Capital costs <10% over budget Comments: Low capital intensity of US$10/lb Ni No acid plant and mixed sulphide production Engineering undertaken by SNC Lavalin SMMC has good in-house nickel experience Learnt from mistakes made in WA

13 Heap Leach Why heap leaching? Brief history Demonstration plants HL capital and operating costs
14 Why Heap Leaching? Positives Process both limonite & saprolite Process far less complex than HPAL or AL Lower capital intensity Negatives Heap permeability is critical Sensitive to mineralogy Iron chemistry Acid consumption
15 Heap Leach History Nickel laterite heap leaching R&D commenced in early 1990 s at NTUA in Greece NTUA undertook column leaches on Greek laterites Greek laterites consist mainly of hematite and the nickel is contained in chlorite Amenable to heap leaching with minimal acid consumption BHP, WMC and others undertook R&D commencing in mid to late 1990 s
16 NTUA - Greece Demonstration Plant Built a small demonstration plant at Larco mines Process consists of: Heap leaching of laterite ore at ambient temperature Purification of the leach liquor by hydrolytic precipitation Removal of Fe, Al and Cr Simultaneous SX of Ni and Co using the Cyanex 301 Stripping of the loaded organic by Ni spent electrolyte Co extraction over Ni and Co using the Cyanex 272 Stripping of the loaded organic by Co spent electrolyte

43 Technology Trends FeNi Smelting Well proven & low risk technology Capital costs - recent escalation Operating costs energy dependent Requires high grade ore feed Ore Calcining Been considered previously Not demonstrated or proven Roasting / magnetic separation of interest Unlikely to compete with Ni pig iron Ore upgrade for smelter - possible application
44 Technology Trends Ni Pig Iron Well proven & low risk technology Environmental emissions major concern Low capital cost access by small players High operating costs Switch from blast to electric furnaces Ore suppliers under cost pressure Export of ore from Indonesia to cease To remain a swing producer Ni price dependent
45 Technology Trends HPAL Proven technology but high technical risk Commercial risk high capital exposure Operating costs significantly higher Capital costs rapid escalation Only affordable by major companies Project economics questionable Future developments will be influenced by success of Goro, Ramu, Ambatovy & Taganito
46 Technology Trends Atmospheric Leach Technology has not been demonstrated Possible niche applications Combined HPAL & AL possible Capital costs are high ~80% of HPAL Operating costs are similar to HPAL Project economics questionable Unlikely to succeed unless there is a step change in costs
47 Technology Trends Heap Leach Technology is currently being demonstrated Ore type critical for heap permeability Site specific conditions important Acid key capital and operating cost driver Operating costs lower than HPAL Capital costs significantly lower than HPAL Offers market entry by small companies Will take time to achieve widespread acceptance
