Iron ore reserve and resource estimates Strong reserve and resource basis to support sustainable growth

• Highlights of 2012:

– Resource to Reserve conversion exceeded mining depletion to provide a net increase of ~500Mt in iron ore reserves

– Resource to reserve conversion was largely offset by resource additions due to exploration and re-evaluation of known mineralization

• Resource and reserve estimates supported by internal technical reports

• Updated life of mine plans with discounted cash flows to support demonstration of economic viability for all ore reserve estimates

• All resource estimates have potential for economic extraction to support future potential growth

Iron ore growth target on track – 84MT capacity by 2015

AMMC

• Spirals replacement project completed in 1Q’13

• Capacity expansion from 16Mt to 24Mt:

• In June 2013 first concentrate from new Line 7 produced

• Ramp up underway. Targeting 24mt annual equivalent by end of 2013

• Capex of $1.6bn

Liberia

• Phase 1 achieved new production record in 3Q’13 at 1.1Mt

• Phase 2 project underway for 15Mtpa premium sinter feed to replace 4Mtpa DSO by 2015

• Product specification changed to sinter feed; engineering scope change required

• Major equipment procurement complete

• Civil works at the port are advancing and will be completed this year

Baffinland

• Early Revenue Phase underway

• 3.5Mtpa of DSO trucked to Milne Inlet for export during open-water season by 2015

• $700m* project capex in 50:50 JV

Iron ore growing; plans on track

ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (AMMC)

• Expansion of Mont Wright mine at AMMC and

concentrate capacity to total 24Mt p.a. (from 16Mtpa

post operational improvements) concentrate and

pellets

• Expansion capitalising on existing infrastructure,

product quality, experienced workforce and

advantageously located with easy access to

European/US markets

• Capex $1.6bn* for mine, concentrator plant

expansion and infrastructure upgrade with cash cost

of circa $38/tonne post expansion

• Potential for future expansion given size of resource

base and existing infrastructure

* Capex of $1.6bn excludes expansion of Pellet line which has not yet been committed to. 6

• Low cost, efficient operations with further

improvement potential

• Ongoing initiatives to continue improving

operating equipment efficiency

ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (AMMC) Expansion from 16Mt to 24Mt complete

Expansion supported by captive infrastructure with operating leverage

Baffinland Early Revenue Phase: 3.5MT production rate in 2015

Product

• High grade: 66%+ Fe iron – lumps and fine ore

• Products expected to achieve full premium value

Proposed Early Revenue Phase rationale

• ERP budget approx. US$700m commenced in 1Q 2013

• Enables an early mining phase that requires less capital investment than full

project, creating training, employment, business opportunities for local region

• ERP will demonstrate quality of product and ability to operate

ERP components and difference between full rail project

• ERP requires trucking of ore to Milne Inlet, loading of ore in Milne Inlet, and

shipping of ore from Milne Inlet to markets

• Requires upgrades of the road connecting Milne Inlet and mine site

• Mining and trucking of 3.5mtpa from Deposit 1 to Milne Inlet throughout the year

• Shipping of ore from Milne Inlet during “open water season”

• Anticipate first ore to be shipped in 2H 2015, all product tonnage targeted for

Europe

Environment permitting

• Existing permits allow work to commence in 3Q’13

• Planned modification to existing permit to allow further optimization:

doubling of fuel capacity at Milne Inlet in 2013

• Completion of ERP amendments to “The Project Certificate” and licenses

scheduled in 1H 2014

Mary River Project is now a phased project –

ERP underway, Rail Phase to be considered according to market conditions

Brazil ArcelorMittal operates two iron ore mines at Brazil – ArcelorMittal Brazil -

Andrade Mine and ArcelorMittal Mineracao Serra Azul

Andrade Mine

• Operates an open pit and a crushing facility

• Supplies sinter feed to ArcelorMittal Long Carbon – João Monlevade

integrated plant through an internal railway of 11 kilometers.

• Companhia Siderurgica Belgo-Mineira (CSBM) initiated mining

operations in 1944 to supply ore to its steel plant in Joao Monlevade.

In 2000, Vale acquired the property and in 2009 Vale returned the

Anadrade mine to CSBM, which, then transferred it to ArcelorMittal.

• The increase of the mine’s production capacity to 3.5mt per year of

sinter feed was completed in 2012

• Reserve estimates are dominated by directly shippable hematite ore

ArcelorMittal Mineracao Serra Azul

• Operates an open pit mine and a concentration facility

• Sinter feed production is shipped to ArcelorMittal plants in Europe,

local Brazilian market including the ArcelorMittal Brazil integrated

plants. Reserve estimates constitute rich friable Itabrites requiring

some beneficiation.

• Both Andrade & Serra Azul are located in the Iron Quadrangle

(Quadrilatero Ferrifero)

• Project of High Intensity Magnetic Separator (“HIMS”) to improve the

quality & Yields

• PFS studies underway to expand from 2mt to 8mt Itabirite ore 9

Focus on cost as well as growth

10

Relentless focus on cost control

• Operational excellence, rigour and discipline

underway across assets

• Share and apply best practice leveraging internal and

external benchmarks

• Key focal points:

• Labour productivity

• Maintenance and reliability

• Mining plan optimization

Rigorous capex investment management

• Focus on on-time and budget delivery

• Central project management office

• Regular expert project reviews

• Standardised projects controls

• Tracking time/cost divergence and risks

Mexico ArcelorMittal operates three iron ore mines in Mexico, the El Volcan and

Las Truchas mines and, through a joint ownership with Ternium S.A., the

Peña Colorada mine

El Volcan

• ArcelorMittal operates a concentrating facility along with a open pit

mine and a pre-concentration facility at the mine site. The Volcan

concession was bought from the Sonora provincial government in

2004, followed by the exploration at the property in 2005. The

development of the mine started in 2007. The Volcan operations

produced 2.15mt of concentrate in 2012

Las Truchas

• Fully integrated iron ore operation, It began operating in 1976 as a

government enterprise (Sicartsa) and its mining activities consist of

an open pit mine exploitation, crushing, dry cobbing, preconcentrate

and concentration plant. The aggregate 2012 production concentrate,

lumps and fines totaled 2.93mt

Peña Colorada

• ArcelorMittal holds 50% of Peña Colorada Ltd., and Ternium S.A.

owns the other 50% of the company. Peña Colorada operates an

open pit mine as well as a concentrating facility and a two line

pelletizing facility. Total pellet production of 4.07mt and 0.43mt of

concentrate (of which 50% is ArcelorMittal share).

11 7mt of Iron Ore Production in 2012

USA - ArcelorMittal USA Iron Ore Mines

• ArcelorMittal USA operates an iron ore mine through its wholly-

owned subsidiary ArcelorMittal Minorca & owns a majority stake

in Hibbing Taconite Company, which is managed by Cliffs Natural

Resources. ArcelorMittal Minorca production for 2012 was 3mt

and 5mt for Hibbing Taconite Company*

ArcelorMittal Minorca

• Located north of the town of Virginia in the northeast of

Minnesota

• The Minorca operations control all the mineral rights and surface

rights needed to the mine

• Concentrating and a Pelletizing facility along with two open pit

iron ore mines

• The processing operations consists of a crushing facility, a three

line concentration facility and a single line straight grate

pelletizing plant

• Pellets are transported by rail to ports on Lake Superior. Lake

vessels are then used to transport the pellets to Indiana Harbor

• The Minorca taconite plant was constructed and operated by

Inland steel between 1977 & 1988 when it was purchased by then

ISPAT International, a predecessor company of ArcelorMittal
