2 About Nikochem Companies location Russian Federation. Volgograd. It s the most suitable place for Mg compounds production Nikochem group structure JSC Kaustik production of caustic soda ( tpy), chlorine ( tpy), PVC ( tpy), soft cable and shoe compounds, sealants of PVC-compositions ( tpy) and related Kaustik Europe B.V. EU sales and representation. Nikopharm pharmaceuticals production NikoMag Magnesials production and development

3 Bischofite. Growth perspectives NikoMag develops 2 deposits in Volgograd region 1,5 km Existed State license provides the right to use Svetloyarsky bischofite deposits till 31-st December 2029 year Block B Block A Approved volume of deposit is calculated as 50 mln ton of MgCl2*6H2O Infrastructure of brine field is prepared for bischofite mining Three wells are already prepared for bischofite leaching: one is in active operation since 2005 at range of 40 m3/h the second and the third are stand by for expanded operation Narimanovskoye deposit (same capacity) was acquired in 2012

5 Our products are our pride tpy for MgCl 2 *6H 2 O flakes and prills Another tpy line shall be erected by November 2013

6 From basis to the newest Non-FR compounds are outlaw in RF No high quality MDH producer in RF Growing special steel/rubber applications No high quality MgO producer in RF Sustainable growth of local consumption and import tpy MH and tpy MgO production project Competitive cost price and product quality Availability of own raw materials of top quality Low labor, energy, transport cost Newest technologies applied Well-developed infrastructure, good logistic

7 Partnership and development Rusnanotech is state-owned Company targeting to credit and to support Russian projects of nano-technologies The project of magnesium hydroxide production plant erection in Volgograd was approved by Supervisory Council of Rusnanotech on The Project is financed on parity basis NikoMag s appointed to be owned project Company Facilities startup is scheduled in 2013 The project is supported by the government
