Forward looking statements

This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward looking statements” which are prospective in nature. These forward looking statements may be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, or the negative thereof such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "continues", "assumes", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "aims", "forecasts", "risks", "intends", "positioned", "predicts", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words or comparable terminology and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", “shall”, "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current predictions, expectations, beliefs, opinions, plans, objectives, goals, intentions and projections about future events, results of operations, prospects, financial condition and discussions of strategy.

Supportive thermal coal seaborne market outlook

• Attractive long-term thermal coal market fundamentals remain in place based on economics and availability

• Seaborne thermal coal is more than a China story • energy key to emerging market growth / industrialisation • thermal coal central to this for the foreseeable future

• Thermal demand growth projected at 5% pa; slowing supply growth • Lack of ongoing investment helping to rebalance the market

• Our export coal business is the largest, most diversified, best positioned on margin curve and possesses the greatest growth optionality • majors either don't have much thermal coal or are under-investing as viewed as non-core

5

China re-balances supply and demand

6

Net imports have grown by 350Mt in the last 10 years

Long term impact on coal demand driven by Chinese economic growth • A sustained GDP growth rate of around 7% pa would see the Chinese economy double in 10 years • Elasticity of electricity with respect to GDP in China is ~1.0, declining over time • Even with lower growth rates energy demand will grow significantly • We expect at least 50% of new electricity demand will need to be met with coal based generation • The Chinese economy will require significant coal feedstock for conversion purposes

As expected, China is addressing air pollution issues • Imposition of coal quality constraints • Principal impact on inefficient industrial boilers and utilities • Action to address urban pollution will include remotely produced coal based electricity and coal based gas • Utilities with de-sulphurisation and particulate controls expected to be excluded from current pollution

measures • Sulphur relaxation permissible for coking coal

Over 2 billion tonnes of Chinese domestic coal production capacity does not meet the quality criteria / environmental objectives for the 3 identified regions

Glencore's product portfolio, trading position and embedded optionality means we are well positioned to manage market dynamics

• Change creates arbitrage opportunities upon which our trading business is built

India has emerged as the dominant growth market

7

• 12th 5yr plan • $36bn invested in generation

capacity • $61bn invested in transmission

capacity

• Coal fired capacity • Currently 145GW installed • Target 214GW installed by 2020

• 65.5% capacity utilisation and >26%

transmission losses • 10% capacity improvement = 48Mt

coal demand with no new installed generation capacity

• New installed capacity adds 345Mt coal demand

Glencore Coal - Tier 1 All T & S Loading Units Fleet Performance

Undergrounds • Blakefield South best performing longwall in

Australia for FY 13/14 • 3 of top 4 longwalls in Australia (Blakefield

South, Oaky North and Ulan West1) • Glencore has had the highest producing

longwall in Australia for the last 10 years • Ulan West longwall commenced 3 months

ahead of schedule • Development and tonnage ramp up ahead of

budget • Initial run rate positions Ulan West productivity

within top 3 producers in Australia • South African continuous miners performing at the

top end of 2 seam sections

Open Cuts • 26% increase in Tier 1 loading unit

performance • Compared to global trend of declining

performance2

1 Based on annualised production since commissioning 2 Source PwC Report “Mining for Efficiency” August 2014

Open cut mining efficiency

• PwC provided an independent assessment of Australian and Global mining equipment performance over the period 2002-2013

• Glencore performance across the board compares very favourably

• Glencore equipment performance is higher than the industry medium and best practices

• Whilst productivity trends have reduced (pre August 2014) Glencore excavator units continues to improve

• Similar leading operational performance by Glencore is also demonstrated in other loading unit categories

Ravensworth North - Induction & tour guide slides

Ravensworth Operations - Site safety requirements

• When in the Mine or CHPP the following PPE must be worn: • Hi-vis shirt or vest

• Safety helmet

• Safety glasses

• Steel toe boots

• No smoking is permitted on site

• It is prohibited to be under the influence of alcohol or illicit drugs on this site

• Stay with a site representative at all times, follow their instruction & do not wander off or near highwalls edges - Always remain behind safety fences, bunds or windrows

• In case of emergency follow the directions of your site representative

• All Incidents, Near Misses and Hazards must be reported to your site representative ASAP

• Be careful where you walk and uneven surfaces in the mine
