Perspectives on recent global trends in mining
Price ! Commodities markets remain volatile though recovery seen in recent months
outlook − Strengthening US dollar and global macro-economic concerns
! Commodity prices are expected to remain under pressure in H2 2009 and recover in H1
2010 on the back of production cuts and demand recovery

Capital ! Significant rise in project capital costs has led many companies to reassess their project
costs pipelines
! However, recent drop in raw materials costs and depreciating currencies likely to help

! Share prices for many mining companies were down 50%-75% 1H 2009 vs 1H2008
Valuations
! Strategic investors still pay top dollar for high quality coal assets
− Rio Tinto asset sale to Chinalco at 124% premium to market enterprise value
− Jacobs Ranch coal mine sold to Arch Coal for 10.4x pro-forma 2008 EBITDA
! Financing remains challenging - limited capacity and financing costs have increased
Financing
significantly
! All deals face increased hurdles
! Project financings are struggling in the current environment - highest quality assets will
come back first

M&A ! Global mining M&A has dropped off significantly in 2009

activity ! The dramatic changes in commodity markets has led to deals being re-negotiated - some
have been repudiated
! Drivers for consolidation remain in place but M&A targets (both assets and corporates) are
being reassessed given the new environment

stabilized over the past few months

Impact of current credit market turmoil
! Depressed commodity prices also not helping
! Limited new issuance in capital markets from HY Asian issuers for last 12
months
! Lack of deep local bank markets in most mining countries, even Australian
banks are slowing credit growth
Liquidity
! Regional banks (DBS, Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese) and international banks
(Japanese, French, German, US) have changed focus to their home markets
as they are tied by strings that come with stimulus / govt support
! Contractor / supplier financing is one alternative
! PE / Equity sale is another

! Emerging market credit spreads are at all time high

! Local and foreign bank markets are open to deals with right structure and
Pricing

Emergence of Private Placement Market

! Over the last 4-5 years the private placement market has matured significantly

! Private placement market offers an alternative to traditional bank and bond /capital markets

! Private placements allow access to institutional investors and allows issuers to share
forward looking projections / business plans that are not allowed in bond markets

! Private placement investors require access to management and due diligence, thus allowing
issuers to better sell their credit story

! Estimated issuance of $20-25 billion in the structured private placement market since 2003.
Credit Suisse leads this market with over $11 billion of private placements

! Ideally suited to mid-size companies which are not ready for listed bond market or have
limited access to bank market

! Private market should be used in addition to bank lines and should not be treated as a
replacement for the working capital bank lines

! Private deals can be structured as loans or bonds

− Greenfield
− Commodities
− Execution/Development risks

! Back to basics
! Higher grade credits
! Well collateralized structures
! Larger corporates
! Local banks still have local currency appetite
