Serving the development and urbanisation needs of southern and eastern Shaanxi A mountainous region with natural barriers protecting our core market stronghold areas Production plants in proximity to our limestone resources and markets Focus on both infrastructure and rural development markets Our Core Market Strategy ensures margins superior to our competitors in the province. 6 For the period ended June 30 DiversifyingSouthern Xinjiang into New– A MarketNew Growth - Xinjiang Market Replicating our Core Market Strategy in Hotan Hotan region is situated in the far south of Xinjiang Province, bordered to the north by the Taklamakan Desert and to the south by the Kunlun Mountains. The region comprises 7 counties and 1 city with a population exceeding 2 million. 2010 GDP of RMB10 billion, a 12% yoy increase. 2010 FAI of RMB10 billion, a 31% yoy increase. Cumulative FAI from 2006-2010 (the 11th Five-Year Plan) was RMB 31 billion. Planned FAI under the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) is over RMB 130 billion – a more than four fold increase. Abundant resources in the region: more than 60 different types of natural reserves (natural gas, oil, coal, limestone, jade, lead-zinc, Asian manganese magnets etc). Confirmed natural gas reserve of approx. 61.6 billion cubic meters. The Region is being developed as a key energy supply zone – rapid infrastructure development and urbanisation. Hotan County is undergoing an intense programme of infrastructure and social spending, including road and rail communications, an Airport, reservoirs and hydro electric projects, social housing and urban construction (Details on the next page). Total investment of RMB20 billion for 2009-2013, of which RMB13 billion from Central Government. 2010 cement output of approx. 1.2mt, of which only 50% are NSP technologies. Limestone and coal are plentiful and low cost. Cement profit margins are high. WCC: The Hetian (Hotan) and Yutian (Keriya) Plants will make Hotan area our first Core Market in Xinjiang. 7 …targeted to reach approximately Our Production Facilities 20mt by mid-2012. 1.

Data includes all construction in progress. Xi‟an is the largest cement market in the province, accounting for 30-40% of total demand. Baoji, Tongchuan and Xianyang are the major areas of supply, accounting for over 60% of provincial output. New entrants have built or acquired capacity in central Shaanxi – pressuring prices to gain market share. WCC Core Markets are Weinan, Shangluo, Ankang and Hanzhong – areas where we command market shares of 50% to 100% of NSP capacity. WCC is able to maintain margins higher than our peers situated in Central Shaanxi. 12 Shaanxi Cement Market – Outlook 2011: A tough year, especially in 2H. Credit tightening led demand slowdown; price wars in Central Shaanxi and a longer than normal rain season (August – October) have all depressed pricing. Demand: National Infrastructure projects (e.g. High Speed Railway) have remained slow, depressing high grade cement demand. Higher than normal 3Q rains have led to all producers de-stocking through to December, resulting in little pricing upside in 4Q “peak” season. Southern Shaanxi demand has a more positive outlook for 2012 - The Southern Shaanxi Resettlement Project (approx. annual demand 1.2m-1.4m tons) and the Hanjiang to Weihe River Water Transport Project (approx annual demand 400,000 tons) started construction in 3Q11, supporting demand in Shangluo, Ankang and Hanzhong. Supply: The tough operating environment has accelerated the consolidation process. WCC acquired Hanzhong Yanshanzhuang (2mt) in June; Conch acquired Zhongxi (approx 7mt) in August. Smaller plants have shut down in 3/4Q. Shaanxi 2011 Cement Production was approx 64mt (Source: Digital Cement) – expected 2012 net additions approx 5-10mt reaching total supply of 70-75mt of cement production capacity.
