A primary nickel supply gap is set to emerge over the present decade. Only three major projects at Feasibility. Lead times for new projects are 7-10 years. The majority of current production is from sulphide mines, but most new nickel projects will be from laterite ores.

The QNI strategy
Stabilise Yabulu operation
• Zero harm • Catch-up maintenance. • Commence installation of
modern management practices.
Utilities due forcompletion in FY04
Ore processing plants at world class orebodies with expansion of refinery part of Yabulu
• Phase I:Concurrently develop Ravensthorpe and Yabulu Extension Projects.
• Phase II:Develop 2nd Ore Processing project at suitable orebody with no further expansion of Yabulu
Feasibility Study
Optimise Yabulu margins
• Incremental value-added product development.
• Incremental Ni and Co production increases:
•YOI quick payback project suite
•LGSO strategy• Cost reduction initiatives:
•Small group projects•Capitalise on gas at Yabulu site
•Best management practices, particularly Maintenance
• Establish own mine for up to one third of ore supply.
In Progress

• The historic trend in SA capacity growth will continue. Entry barriers will be lower, as producers will not be able to retain unutilised resources.
• However, costs will rise - Rand, reductantcosts, increased electricity prices, social obligations for South African producers.
• Will HDSA participation in FeCr Smelters be profitable?
Hence HSDA business focus will likely center on:
• Procurement
• Mining and ore preparation
• Community development
• New smelting where there is a genuine low cost position

Restructuring of Chrome Division by a 3 Horizon Strategy
Manufacturing mindset to reposition chrome at the bottom of the cost curve
• Zero harm • People lynchpin everything. • Eliminate waste.• ETG, furnace and mine stability, Procurement & contractor management, maintenance, GSAP&MES, Six Sigma. • Site specific cost reductions.
Reposition in Future Industry Context•Understand emerging industry dynamics. •Understand SA Government approach to FeCr industry.•Understand new product requirements in advance of the rest of the producers by working with customers.
•Increasing business maturity•Improving market / production interface
Optimise value chain through prudent investment•Understand future customer requirements.•Implementing high IRR capacity creep projects at the works.•Rationalise the mines with the value chain as the driver.

Conclusion
• Stainless steel – the highest growth major use of metals – provides a strong market for primary FeCr and Nickel
• A looming nickel supply gap is becoming apparent, a result of high entry barriers and inadequate returns on capital in 1990s
• SA will provide new FeCr capacity to meet the strong, but volatile, demand growth
• Uncontrolled FeCr capacity growth in SA has led, and may continue to lead, to significant value transfer to overseas customers.
• For Samancor Chrome, cost-efficiency is key, as input costs in SA are likely to increase
• BHP Billiton is a mature nickel producer, customer-focused with options for further capital-efficient growth
