Since its formation in 2014, KAZ Minerals has focused on the construction of large scale copper mining projects in the CIS region

The Group seeks to invest in value-accretive growth projects with low capital intensity and a high rate of return on investment

East Region

The completion and ramp up of the Bozshakol and Aktogay projects has delivered a c.40% CAGR in copper production over the period 2015-19

Successfully applied modern technology to develop copper deposits, building a portfolio of highly profitable mines with low operating costs

COVID-19 RESPONSE

Ensuring the safety, health and wellbeing of employees and contractors is the Group's first priority

Comprehensive measures taken to protect staff, no material disruption to operations or sales in H1 2020

Provided support to local communities and increased stocking of critical spares and consumables

Bozshakol and Aktogay shifts extended through overtime from 22 March until the end of May, testing and isolation procedure for all new arrivals

Kazakhstan imposed a second phase of quarantine measures from 5 July 2020, reflecting heightened risk in the country and to the Group's operations for the second half of the year

Ongoing restrictions on the movement of staff and contractors and deferred maintenance may impact production and unit costs in H2 2020

AKTOGAY

FY 2019:

  • Copper production1 145.7 kt (2018: 131.4 kt),
    including 22.7 kt from oxide (2018: 25.7 kt)

Q2 2020:

  • 6,280 kt sulphide ore processed (Q1 2020: 6,064
    kt), copper grade 0.55% (Q1 2020: 0.57%)
  • Copper production1 increased by 3% to 34.3 kt (Q1 2020: 33.3 kt), including oxide 5.4 kt (Q1 2020: 6.1 kt)

Oxide production focused on the re-irrigation of previously extracted material, oxide ore mining temporarily suspended in Q2 2020

Covid-19 restrictions are limiting access to site for contractors and international staff

  • Gold production1 144.8 koz (2018: 127.8 koz) Q2 2020:
  • 7,595 kt ore processed (Q1 2020: 8,040 kt),
    copper grade 0.53% (Q1 2020: 0.48%)
  • Scheduled maintenance deferred, now weighted towards the second half of the year
  • Copper production1 30.6 kt (Q1 2020: 29.8 kt), benefitted from higher copper grade
  • Gold production1 41.0 koz (Q1 2020: 42.3 koz), due to lower processing volumes

Covid-19 restrictions are limiting access to site for contractors and international staff, testing of new arrivals has resulted in a shortage of mining staff

5. Baimskaya copper

project

BAIMSKAYA PROJECT OVERVIEW

Baimskaya is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper resources, with the potential to be a large scale, low cost open pit copper mine

The Group acquired the Baimskaya copper project for $900 million in cash and shares in January 2019

  • $675 million Initial Consideration plus Deferred Consideration of $225 million

Estimated capex budget of around $7 billion1, with c.10% expected to be incurred after first production

70 Mtpa ore processing capacity

Potential for resource expansion in c.1,300 sq. km licence area

BAIMSKAYA UPDATE

Bankable feasibility study expected to be completed by the end of 2020

Latest project parameters, based on feasibility study work completed to date:

  • Drilling results indicate a potential increase in Mineral Resources which would lead to an extension of the mine life
  • Ore processing capacity increased from 60 Mtpa to 70 Mtpa
  • Two lines to be ramped up in consecutive phases 12 to 18 months apart, reducing peak funding

requirement compared to simultaneous startup

Peschanka ore samples, 2019

  • Capital budget of around $7 billion2, with c.10% expected to be incurred after first production

6. Positioned for growth

STRONG PLATFORM

World class open-pit copper mines, consistently achieving production targets

  • 311 kt copper production
  • 201 koz gold production

$1,355 million EBITDA at 60% margin

Industry leading 77 USc/lb net cash cost

$1.7 billion of debt facilities signed in last nine months

Proven project team with track record of delivery

45

POSITIONED FOR GROWTH

KAZ Minerals is a high growth, low cost copper producer generating significant cash flow

Copper market fundamentals forecast deficit in coming decade, without supply from new projects

Near term production growth from Aktogay expansion

Long term production growth from Baimskaya copper project, in the first quartile of the cost curve1

Generating value and volume over the long term, underpinned by structural demand growth for copper as the world transitions to a low carbon economy

Notes:
