Molybdenum – a metal for our time Supply Consumption Supply
10 producers account for 55% of global mineoutput
Consumption
Driven by stainless steel, full alloy and toolsteels, high strength low alloy, carbon steelsd t l t Decades of industry under investment
Primary producers now the dominant contributorto global mine output
and catalysts
Anti‐corrosive properties, provides resistanceto abrasion and imparts hardness to steels to global mine output
2010 mine output has rebounded as existingmines have restored capacity from 2008/2009shut downs
Different applications can use between 0.5%to 8% Mo
Used in high pressure applications in extreme shut downs
At 5‐6% growth the market requires 10,000 tonnes(22mlb) of new production per annum to maintainequilibrium
Used in high pressure applications in extremetemperature conditions
Consumers are price insensitive and unwillingt b tit t i it i t t t t l equilibrium
Limited growth in by‐product mines, copperproduction being sourced outside of traditionalSouth American countries the world needs new
to substitute given its importance to structuralintegrity
Forecast demand for molybdenum set to grow5 6% h h 2015 South American countries ‐ the world needs new
primary molybdenum minesat 5‐6% yoy through 2015

Molybdenum – a metal for our time PricesPrices
Limited western world demand throughGFC, however end 2008 and early 2009price levels prove unsustainable as higherprice levels prove unsustainable as highercost marginal producers in Chinawithdraw from market
F d fl t US$15 00/lb Found a floor at US$15.00/lb
Prices stable through 2010 as mine outputreacted to and matched strong Chinesedomestic economy ‐ China currently thedominant player and net importer
Market currently in balance ‐ globalinventories less than 1 months production
Under investment in moly projects will create supply tightness as global demand recovers
China export quota’s and potential rationalization of domestic production could contribute to westernp q p psupply shortfall
As new primary molybdenum mines are brought into production during this decade, the marginal costof production will reflect their cost structures including capital paybackof production will reflect their cost structures including capital payback
Supply and demand side factors could both contribute to rising price landscape this decade
