The broader industry and recent events
• Surviving the short-term problems will be trickier for some.• Base metals have been more negatively impacted than precious
metals.• Junior exploration and development companies will be starved of
capital.• High cost producers in an environment of declining prices.• Many companies have halted production and have begun to defer
investment.

Not all are created equal
• Stocks measured by the Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX global mining index were down 40% for 2008.
• Companies with poor liquidity bore the brunt of the decline.
• Prices for base metals such as zinc, copper and nickel are well off their highs.
• Over priced a year ago or under priced today?

Demand & Supply
• Assuming companies can survive the next 18 to 24 months, there remains reason for optimism in that the market fundamentals of supply and demand still line up very well for the mining industry.
• Companies that display best practices will emerge from this downturn prepared to capitalize on upcoming opportunities.

• Once China’s GDP = Japan’s, it will demand 3x the amount of copper and 8x the amount of nickel consumed today

• It takes 7 and 9 years to bring a major mining project from discovery to production
-Increasingly, this timeline is being extended due to infrastructure constraints and development bottlenecks
• This, combined with the poor exploration expenditure in the 1990s and early 2000s, means that significant new supply of many commodities will not be available until the next decade

Cash is king
• The strength of a company’s balance sheet can be measured by management’s ability to preserve cash. Some considerations include:• Currency to use for operations – local currency or US dollars• Where is your cash?• Hedging strategies for foreign exchange and interest rates• Functional currency determination• Working capital management – collect customer payments quicker, stretch
suppliers and minimize inventory• Capital commitments• Minimize commitments, renegotiate contracts and actively defer potential
contingent liabilities beyond the short-term• Refinance or reposition parts of the company for sale• Going concern

Mergers and acquisitions (1)
• In the last five years, acquisition strategies focused on:• Large companies becoming larger, more stable through acquisition• Larger companies were more attractive to shareholders and financiers• Larger companies were better able to launch large-scale projects
• A new tier of “super major” companies (> $100 billion market cap) was created.• The number of deals surged from 2005 to 2007 and the value escalated for the
biggest deals (CAD$1 billion plus) from 8 in 2005 to 25 in 2007.• Rio Tinto set a new top deal bar with its USD$ 43 billion purchase of Alcan.• State-owned mining companies from Brazil (Vale) and China (Jinchuan,
Chinalco, China Minmetals) had a significant influence in restructuring the industry.

Mergers and acquisitions (2)
• In the current economic environment there is even more pressure on mergers and acquisitions.
• Gold companies and base metal companies with large projects in production continue to generate cash flow.
• Middle-tier companies with one or two projects run the risk of being driven into negative cash flow by cost increases.
• Junior exploration and development companies, with no revenue, may face difficulties accessing equity or debt financing.
• To avoid bankruptcy, middle-tier and junior exploration and development companies may need to arrange strategic mergers or other arrangements to raise funds and reduce costs.

Forecasting and scenario planning
• Management of cash flows is becoming more important:• the ability to accurately forecast 18 to 24 months into the future• identify funding shortfalls well in advance• build flexibility into the forecasting process through scenario planning• run cash flow forecasts for each site and jurisdiction, be wary of consolidated
forecasts • consider the tax implications of repatriating cash to the home country• consider the implications of your corporate structure – the lack of tax treaties
between countries and the impact of possible withholding taxes

Stakeholder discussions
• It is increasingly important to keep the various stakeholders informed and limit surprises.
• Stakeholders include local communities, NGOs, environmental advocates and lenders.
• Project suspensions can create new issues where good relations with stakeholders can be a benefit to mining companies.
• Recent example – Hudbay and Lundin.

• Sources of funding could come from non-traditional sources such as Russia, Japan and China.
• However, companies must assess the risk of new partners to the ownership and management profile.
