9 Grinding Media A key mining consumable Grinding media is used in the process of extracting minerals from ore, particularly in the fast growing copper and gold industries Ore particles must be ground down to sufficiently small sizes so the contained metal species become liberated ; i.e. free from gangue materials, prior to subsequent concentration processes Grinding is carried out in large horizontal tumbling mills, partially filled with steel balls or rods (grinding media) Mills require continuous refilling with new grinding media as they get consumed Consumption of grinding media is related primarily to the volume of ore processed and ore characteristics (abrasiveness, particle size and specific energy input) 9

50 Appendix

51 Moly-Cop history In the 1930s, Armco s Sheffield Steel of Kansas City produced the first heat-treated grinding ball alloyed with molybdenum and copper. The new ball significantly improved wear performance versus the quality levels of that time, and was patented and appropriately trademarked as Moly-Cop In 1961, Armco built its first grinding ball forging operation outside the USA - now known as Moly-Cop Chile. This began several decades of growth to build the international Moly-Cop business with grinding ball plants located strategically around the world to include Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Canada In 2001, then owner GS Industries went into bankruptcy and sold the international Moly-Cop businesses to Anglo s Scaw Metals in The original Kansas City ball plant restarted as an independent company in 2003 and became part of Arrium in 2007 With Arrium s acquisition of Moly-Cop, Kansas City has been reunited with the businesses it helped build, further enhancing the strength and depth of the new Moly-Cop organisation 51

53 CRUspi Longs index CRU is an independent, privately owned, business analysis and consultancy group focused on the mining, metals, power, cables, fertilizer and chemical sectors Of particular interest to Moly-Cop s business, CRU publishes a series of Steel Price Indices (CRUspi) intended to monitor the evolution of selected groups of steel product prices in various international markets CRUspi Indices are constructed from actual information of numerous commercial transactions worldwide, following standardized surveying methodologies CRUspi indices are published on a regular basis; the first Wednesday of every month Since 2004, Moly-Cop has been using the CRUspi Longs Index as a reference for periodic price updating of both steel purchasing and grinding media sale contracts The consistent application of the CRUspi Longs Index has allowed Moly-Cop to engage in long-term, variable pricing purchase/sale agreements The CRUspi Longs Index will be representative for Moly-Cop as long as such reference is accepted by its main bar suppliers. 53
