26 Potential technology developments Chinese bauxite quality issues could be improved by blending, flotation, sintering etc. but at a high cost 11 flyash projects being pursued in China a long way to prove commercial viability Flyash plants not likely to be competitors on cost with Bayer process with current flow sheets Higher energy usage, capital costs and potential SGA quality issues Orbite pilot producing high purity alumina from clay via HCL competitive in high purity alumina, query jump to SGA production Other projects underway (e.g. AMMG) but may be too early to judge 26
27 Summary Alumina supply-demand between oversupply and balanced outside China for next 2-3 years some upside and downside risks expect consolidation at low point in cycle through M&A will need to be further cuts outside China to match smelting cuts Development of alumina and related indices progressing well better reflecting alumina fundamentals Current alumina price does not provide enough incentive for many producers to commit to new large refinery projects given construction costs, timing and risks outside China current drive to reduce cash costs, including by energy conversions This is a significant alumina supply shortfall risk in medium-long term Chinese domestic bauxite issues worsening quality, depletion, allocations Likely increase in bauxite imports into China at higher cost Shandong likely to remain the world s marginal cost producer possibly to be joined by other provinces 27
