Onward and Upward! pwc.com.au/industry/energy-resources Onward and Upward! Aussie Mine November 2011 2 Onward and Upward! Foreword Welcome to Aussie Mine for 2011. Our analysis this year shows that the mid-tier has risen to the challenge and produced outstanding results for their stakeholders. Miners have again enjoyed strong momentum delivered by a year of commodity price growth. The mid-tier is a savvier group as a result of the global financial crisis. Having sustained their growth and safeguarded their balance sheets, they remain cashed up – just how this cash is utilised remains of great interest to industry observers. Wayne Huf Partner Organic growth through the successful development of projects typifies the Australian mid-tier, and this year we see strong evidence of it again. Although they will often fall prey to the larger global players, the mid-tier has taken on the role of strategic acquirer, and consolidation of more junior companies is another strong theme this year. We expect to see a lot more M&A activity in the forthcoming year, as companies jostle to take advantage of the indisputable strength in global demand for raw materials. The industrialisation and urbanisation of the Asian region continues to present the Australian mid-tier miner with an unprecedented opportunity. The Asian century is upon us and the mid-tier is positioned to take advantage. As we put the finishing touches to this year’s edition of Aussie Mine, a cautionary wind is blowing, in the form of volatility out of eurozone debt contagion fears and continued uncertainty in the US. Will global economic conditions test the group Tim Goldsmith once again? With a high Australian dollar and a tightening labour market, Global Mining Leader operations at the higher end of the cost curve may be in for a bumpy ride. Even with this short-term uncertainty, the strong long-term foundation laid by demand from developing nations remains. The mid-tier 50 are well placed to meet the challenges ahead and keep moving forward – it is onward and upward! Wayne Huf Tim Goldsmith Aussie Mine November 2011 3 Table of contents 1.

Executive summary 1 2011 was a stellar year for the mid-tier Equity markets are still big funders.

A surge in the copper price, along with investors have increasingly reached out to developing the commissioning of key copper and nickel projects, has nations in a bid to meet future demand. Africa has resulted in revenue growth of 54% and 81% respectively emerged as the continent of choice for the mid-tier 50, across these two commodities. with a 400% (approximately $10 billion) increase since 2007 in the value of companies with the primary asset in Africa. The increased risk of investing in some of these nations is clearly being offset by the rewards for those who succeed in navigating sovereign risk and other barriers to entry, such as a lack of infrastructure.

At this stage, it seems the damage to the Australian mining brand, and changing the perception of investment in Australia, will not be easy to remedy.

Mid-tier industry 2 in perspective 2.1 Market capitalisation overview: Whilst the whims of commodity markets have been reflected in the recent share price performance, our a year of growth analysis shows that the results for the mid-tier 50 are strong and tell a compelling story. Even with the falls The total market capitalisation for this year’s group of 50 since June 2011, market capitalisations are 39% greater mid-tier miners has increased by 39% from June 2010 to than they were in June 2010. For the mid-tier, it has been June 2011 – peaking at $76.8 billion in December 2010. a year of growth. However, the picture from June 2011 to 30 September 2011 is not as bright with market capitalisation falling by The point of entry for this year’s mid-tier 50 is a market $10 billion or 15% – in line with the falls in the broader capitalisation of approximately $463m; an increase over market (ASX 200). the previous year’s figure of $400m.

It would be reasonable to economic uncertainty in the United States played on the expect that the cut-off point for entry would decrease, mind of investors post June. This highly volatile situation considering the companies that were in last year’s top took its hold on commodities between June and October 15 such as Equinox, Centennial Coal, Andean Resources with traded commodities being hit hard.
