PELLETS (C.10MM SIZE)

Agglomerated iron ore product

forming a uniform high quality

feedstock for the blast furnace

Produced from magnetite ore of

<40% Fe (found in N America, CIS,

Europe, China) c. 26% of global iron

ore production

Highest value form of iron ore -

pellets are the most efficient source

of iron ore for a steel furnace

RATIO OF PELLET CONSUMPTION VARIES AT STEEL MILL:

– Pellets are a direct charge input and require less processing

– Steel mills balance the benefit of pellets vs. cost.

– Pellets allow steel mills to:

• Improve productivity per cubic meter of blast furnace capacity (65% pellets vs 62% sinter)

• Limit harmful emissions as pellets emit less CO2, fine dust and air pollution compared to sinter

• Lower coking coal per tonne of pig iron (65% pellets vs 62% fines)

• Lower capital intensity at the steel mill: pellets are less capital intensive as no investment in agglomeration required

IMPORTS OF PELLETS BY REGION 2016 (MT) PELLET MARKET IS DIVIDED BETWEEN CHINA & ROW:

– China is largely self sufficient in pellets

– Chinese apparent pellet production was 120MT in 2016

– Chinese pellet capacity utilisation 49%

– Chinese pellet production constrained by supply of local concentrate (at pricing below $80/t - depending on coking coal prices)

– Overcapacity in Chinese steel reduces demand for pellets at higher premiums

– Premiums will rise as environmental pressures increase & capacity decreases

– Ferrexpo does not target the Chinese market
