1 TSINGSHAN S FAST RESTRUCTING IN STAINLESS STEEL SUPPLYING CHAIN AND IN PRODUCTION

2 Main contents Ⅰ. Raw Material Supplying Chain Restructuring Ⅱ. Producing Process Restructuring Ⅲ. Product Restructuring

3 Changing of Ni source ~2009 Mainly Scrap 1.Local 2.Imported 2009 ~2010 NPI+Scrap 1.Local Scrap 2.Imported Scrap 3. NPI( Internal supply around 15%) 2010~ Mainly Laterite-Nickel Ore 1.NPI( Internal supply around 90%) 2.Local Scrap 3.Imported Scrap

4 Changing of Scrap and NPI in Qingtian Plant (Long Product) Thousand Ton 500 Meltshop Output Scrap NPI Beginning Use NPI

5 Changing of Ni ore output and internal consumption Thousand ton Laterite Ore total consumption Laterite Ore internal supply NPI Output

6 Introduction of Sulawexi project in Indonesia Capacity Products Expansion Laterite Nickel Ore 5M ton/y 1.8%~1.9% Laterite Nickel Ore NPI 800K ton/y (In construction) 10%~12% FeNi Integrated SS Plant

7 Introduction of Zimbabwe project Area Phase 1 Phase 2 900Hectares 50K FeCr ton/y (Third quarter of 2013) 200~250K FeCr ton/y

8 Tsingshan s milestones in developing raw materials Obtained a 500Km 2 laterite Nickel mine in Sulawesi, Indonesia The 1 st phase of Guangdong Yangjiang project was put into operation (50,000Tpy Ni metal, 1 millon tpy stainless steel.) Acquired Afrochine Smelting PLC With 900 hectares of chrome ore mining rights in Zimbabwe 2007 Fujian Dingxin Industrial Co,Ltd 300,000t/yNPI 500,000t/y stainless Steel Project was put into operation Henan Qingpu Ferro-alloy Material CO.,LTD. The first NPI plant of Tsingshan Iron&Steel

9 Raw materials supplying chain restructuring NPI has changed completely the raw material mix in stainless steel production in China The laterite ore in Indonesia has became the new powerhouse of Tsingshan Tsingshan is now seeking overseas Cr resources

10 Main contents Ⅰ. Raw Material Supplying Chain Restructuring Ⅱ. Producing Process Restructuring Ⅲ. Product Restructuring

11 Changing of Stainless steelmaking Process Traditional Stainless Steelmaking Process Scrap EAF AOD L / F C/C Pure Ni Fe-Cr Improved Stainless Steelmaking Process NPI EAF AOD L / F C/C Fe-Cr

12 Changing of stainless steelmaking process Integrated Stainless Steelmaking Process Fe-Ni EAF Fe-Cr AOD L / F C/C SAF Nickel Ore

13 The comparison of integrated SS plant VS Traditional SS plant Traditional SS mill Integrated SS mill Raw material Scrap Laterite ore Plant configuration SS Mini-mill NPI mill +SS Mini-mill Process Short Long Investment (Melt shop) Charging method Cold charging Hot charging Production cost (Steelmaking plant) 100% 85% and lower

14 Introduction of integrated SS plant-fuan (Fujian Province) Capacity Products Expansion NPI 300K ton/y NPI 9%~12% FeNi 500~800K ton/y NPI /year at 1.7% Ni ore Stainless steel 600K ton/y 300 series HR coil 1.5M HR coil/year NPI HR coil Main Equipment Rotary Kiln SAF AOD LF CC Steel Rolling

15 Introduction of integrated SS plant-yangjiang (Guangdong Province) Capacity Products Expansion NPI 600K ton/y NPI 9%~12% FeNi 600K ton/y NPI Stainless steel 1M ton/y 300 series slab 1.0M ton slab NPI SS Melting Slab The RKEF-AOD new process adopted by Tsingshan Steel was successfully duplicated in Guangdong

16 Producing Process Restructuring The integrated NPI and stainless steel production process is a revolution in stainless steel industry and its competitiveness has been proved. Fuan plant is equipped with two rolling lines Line one: 1 m tpy medium width hot strip mill (width mm) Line two: 3 m tpy wide hot strip mill ( to be put into operation within 2013) Yangjiang plant has only two meltshops without hot rolling facility The further integration will be 3 in 1 (Integrated NPI, Fe-Cr and stainless steel production)

17 Main contents Ⅰ. Raw Material Supplying Chain Restructuring Ⅱ. Producing Process Restructuring Ⅲ. Product Restructuring

18 Long product restructuring 1992~2004 Hot rolled bar 2005~2007 Hot rolled bar Wire rod(toll processed) Cold drawn wire 2008~2011 Hot rolled bar Bright bar Wire rod (Morgan Mill) Cold drawn wire 2012~ Hot rolled bar Bright bar Wire rod (Line1.Morgan Mill) (Line2.Danieli Mill) Bar in coil (Danieli Mill) Cold drawn wire

19 Tubular product 2004~2009 Seamless pipes and tubes 2010~ Seamless pipes and tubes Welded pipes and tubes fittings

20 Flat product restructuring 2005~2007 Narrow strip 2008~2012 Narrow strip Wide coil (4,5 inch) Toll processed 2012~2013 Narrow strip Intermediate coil (550~750mm) 2014~ Narrow strip Intermediate coil (550~750mm) Wide coil (4,5 inch)

21 Changing of product Thousand ton 1500 Long Product Narrow Strip Medium and wide Coil

22 Steel grade restructuring in Qingtian plant

23 Steel grade restructuring in Qingtian plant

24 Product restructuring Stainless wire rod increased year by year The ratio of 200 grade long product decreasing year by year Flat product output ratio close to 80%(Hot milling capacity 4million tpy)
