KMAD: Achievements and OutlookKMAD: Achievements and Outlook

Achievements Outlook Created a wide range of development projects Used benefits of the mine to create secondary economic opportunities within local communities Established a dialogue with local communities to increase ownership of projects

New projects - Sewing project - Broiler project (Abattoir) - Fishery Improve impact and create institutions within communities Social ‘engineering’ Increasingly important role for KMAD with fewer employment opportunities at the mine

All TiO2 Feedstocks Were in Deficit in 2007

SP Ilmenite Price Increased by at Least 10% in 2007

SP Ilmenite for China ~ US$130 P/t FOB

Reduced SP Ilmenite Supply - Sustained Upward Price Pressure

Strong Demand for CP Ilmenite from Dupont and Ilmenite Upgraders - Ilmenite Production Declines

Strong Support From TiO2 Feedstock End Users for Moma Expansion
