4 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The Roy Hill Project includes a new iron ore mine at the Roy Hill deposit, a mine process plant, a heavy haul railway system from mine to port and new port facilities at Boodarie Industrial Estate, south west of Port Hedland, Western Australia. The Roy Hill deposit is located approximately 277 kilometres due south of Port Hedland and is at the eastern end of the Chichester Range in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this Explosive Management Plan (ExMP) is to provide the framework to ensure that management strategies are in place to: Minimise the risk of injury to employees, contractors, visitors and the environment from explosives during storage, transport and use of these materials and products; Achieve full compliance with the relevant legislation, Australian Standards and other Codes of Practice, as it relates to storage, transport and use of explosives; and Provide employees who are responsible for handling and using explosives on site with the requirements needed to do so. Ensure that an effective inspection and auditing system provides assurance that all activities undertaken are recorded, complied with and transparent. 1.3 Scope This ExMP is applicable to operations at the Roy Hill mining deposit, its employees, contractors and visitors. It covers the management requirements for explosives and addresses supply, transport and storage. Specifically, this ExMP provides a summary of requirements relating to explosives for: Emergency Management Security Management Health and Safety Management Document Control Audit and Corrective Actions This plan also addresses requirements to ensure compliance for the: Licence to Manufacture Explosives for Mobile Processing Unit; Licence to Store Explosives; Licence to Transport Explosives. 1.4 Application of this Procedure This procedure applies to the Roy Mining Operations associated Processes.

The plan sets out training requirements for the different levels of explosive interaction. Shotfirers and Magazine controllers are appointed and informed and trained to conform to the details within this ExMP. 7.3 Training Records The training record details all training competencies which is kept by the training department. The Training and Assessment System is intended to be a management tool to assist in ensuring continued compliance in the delivery of operational training and assessment of the relevant training package competencies for personnel at Roy Hill in accordance with the relevant statutory requirements and business needs. 8 Documentation Documentation that supports this ExMP must be reviewed every two years or when there is a change in process, to ensure ongoing accuracy and relevancy. This includes but is not limited to the following documentation: Training Documentation; Roy Hill procedures; Roy Hill Iron Ore Work Instructions (WIN S); Rev Document Number Zac Carlton Head of Mining 31/05/ of 18

14 Risk Assessments; Checklists and Forms. Legislation, Standards and Guidelines 9 Emergency Management Overview Roy Hill utilise the Services of Emergency Response Services (ERS) to respond to emergencies that impact upon the security of the SRS and Explosives Facilities. ERS will also be responsible for the implementation of the EMP during the event of an emergency In an emergency situation ERS members are permitted to enter secure areas under the guidance of an authorised secure personnel of that particular work area. Should an explosives emergency arise, the site shall follow the site Emergency Management Plan (EMP) 00RH HS-PLN-0011_A. The EMP provides details of actions to take in the event of an emergency. These include: Fire storage/transportation; Accident Explosive Vehicle and MPU; Sabotage, Theft or attempted theft; Lightning Storms; Unplanned Initiation. The Health and Safety Manager and the Roy Hill Emergency Services Team at Roy Hill are responsible for communicating the emergency response requirements of this plan to: Site Managers; Emergency Response Team; External Services, may include but not limited too; Police; FESA; Shire; RFDS 9.1 Fire Fire presents the greatest risk with both SRS and Explosives. If a fire starts within, in close proximity too, or has the potential to adversely affect the Explosives or SRS Facility, an emergency is declared and will be responded to in accordance to the EMP. If evacuation is required the area shall be evacuated as per the Site Evacuation Plan. Where an area has been secured by the ERT/S around an explosives secure site, it is the responsibility of the ERT to ensure no unauthorised person enters the area until it has be checked by a competent authorised secure employee. 9.2 Evacuation Procedure For an Explosive emergency evacuation, signs and designated muster points will be in place at the required location as per Emergency Management Plan 00RH-0000-HS-PLN-0011_A. 9.3 Incident Reporting Process Rev Document Number Zac Carlton Head of Mining 31/05/ of 18

15 There are several types of incidents relating to explosives. Some of these will require the involvement of the ERT, and may require notification to the DMP and DGO. For Incidents requiring emergency response the following applies: 000-RH-0000_HS-PRO-0043 (Incident Non-conformance and Action Management) Signs shall be erected on all roads surrounding the Explosives Facility and SRS facility indicating the emergency exclusion location; Theft or attempted theft must be reported to the local police as soon as practicable. All incidents involving Explosives or SRS must be reported to a DGO and the DMP as soon as practicable. A written report shall be provided to the DMP with all relevant information required under DGS (E) R Regulation 44, within 21 days of the incident. 9.4 Fire on an Explosives Vehicle or Mobile Processing Unit (MPU) If a fire starts on an MPU the DYNO WA Explosives Management Plan V5 will be followed in addition to the Emergency Management Plan 00RH-0000-HS-PLN-0011_A The DMP will be notified as required Vehicle Accidents Involving Explosives An accident involving an explosives vehicle will require a different response depending on the level or extent of the accident. In all cases, if the accident does not involve a fire the following is relevant: If possible, the passengers shall immediately initiate the emergency procedures; Turn the vehicle off and engage the vehicle isolation; If possible the passengers of the vehicle shall make the area safe with demarcation and secure all explosives; ERS shall attend to any injuries and make the vehicle safe, and secure access to the site. If uninjured, the Shotfirer shall stay with the vehicle until he has been relieved by an authorised person; The Registered Manager shall immediately contact a DGO to determine if the site is to be declared a restricted zone under DGSA Regulation 40; If the incident is considered a potentially serious occurrence the Registered Manager must also notify the DMP; Should an Explosives Vehicle or MPU be involved in a rollover incident then included in the already stated initial actions, if safe to do so, would be actions to ensure separation, containment and security of explosives or precursors as well as passing on relevant information to emergency services Lightning Storms In the event of lightning there is a chance of premature initiation of explosives. Roy Hill have developed a Lightning Management Plan and Lightning Management Procedure which outline specific actions to be taken under each scenario.
