Ivanhoe Mines’ Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project, Mongolia

AMEC is involved in six separate projects associated with the Phase 2

underground expansion of the mine site, which will see a 90,000 tpd

underground mine, concentrator expansion and related infrastructure

added to the currently-under-construction open-pit mine and

concentrator.

Global mining trends – the market

Drivers and trends

Strong fundamentals for the foreseeable future

Long-term commodity demand outlook remains unchanged

BRIC country industrialisation and urbanisation

Chinese growth will continue, but at slower rate than expected in April 2011

Commodity prices remain

robust despite volatile macro

environment

Commodities demand will

evolve as emerging economies

transition from construction to

consumption-based growth

Projected urbanisation (bn of people)

Global mining trends – the market

Global trends in mine development

Resources increasingly difficult to access – plays to AMEC’s strengths

Fewer easy-to-produce resources are leading to more challenging, complex

and expensive developments

More remote and riskier locations

More underground rather than surface mining

More logistical infrastructure and environmental controls

Availability of skilled personnel remains a significant resources constraint

What is driving underground mining?

Declining ore grades from

open-pit mines

Technology improvements

Mass mining via block cave

Copper grades are declining Copper discoveries have greater depth

Mining methods are becoming more complex and technically challenging
