DISCLAIMER
This presentation has been prepared by OZ Minerals Limited (“OZ Minerals”) and consists of written materials/slides for a presentation concerning
OZ Minerals. By reviewing/attending this presentation, you agree to be bound by the following conditions:
No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy, or completeness of the information, contained in the
presentation, or of the views, opinions and conclusions contained in this material. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
OZ Minerals and its related bodies corporate and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisers disclaim any
liability (including, without limitation any liability arising from fault or negligence) for any loss or damage arising from any use of this material or
its contents, including any error or omission therefrom, or otherwise arising in connection with it.
Some statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US securities laws. Such statements include, but
are not limited to, statements with regard to capacity, future production and grades, projections for sales growth, estimated revenues and
reserves, targets for cost savings, the construction cost of new projects, projected capital expenditures, the timing of new projects, future cash flow
and debt levels, the outlook for minerals and metals prices, the outlook for economic recovery and trends in the trading environment and may be
(but are not necessarily) identified by the use of phrases such as “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe” and “envisage”. By their nature, forward-
looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and may
be outside OZ Minerals’ control. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements
because of a number of factors, including levels of demand and market prices, the ability to produce and transport products profitably, the impact
of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, operational problems, political uncertainty and economic conditions in
relevant areas of the world, the actions of competitors and activities by governmental authorities, such as changes in taxation or regulation.
Given these risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of the
presentation. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, OZ Minerals does not
undertake any obligation to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward looking statements contained in this presentation, whether as
a result of any change in OZ Minerals’ expectations in relation to them, or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such
statement is based.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
Carrapateena Mineral Resource estimate
The information in this presentation that relates to Carrapateena Mineral Resource estimate is extracted from the announcement entitled ‘Carrapateena
Update’ released to the market on 6 October 2015 and available at http://www.ozminerals.com/Media/docs/151006-Carrapateena-High-Grade--
Explanatory-notes-1503c513-d142-485c-8a51-52b3c24ad7bc-0.pdf. The company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that
materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources, that all material
assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially
changed. The company confirms that the form and context in which the findings of the Competent Person (Stuart Masters) are presented have not
been materially modified from the original market announcement.
Production Targets Cautionary Statement
The production targets referred to on slides 5 and 13 are based on:
Proved Reserves 36%
Probable Reserves 58%
Measured Resources outside Reserves 1%
Indicated Resources outside Reserves 1%
Inferred Resources 4%
There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources. There is no certainty that further exploration work and studies
will result in the conversion of the mineral resources into ore reserves or that the production targets will be realised.
The Prominent Hill Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates underpinning the production targets were prepared by Competent Persons in
accordance with the JORC Code 2012. The production targets are the result of detailed studies based on the actual performance of our existing mines
and processing plant. These studies include the assessment of mining, metallurgical, ore processing, marketing, government, legal, environmental,
economic and social factors.
Further information on Prominent Hill Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is available in the Annual Resource and Reserve Update for Prominent Hill
released on 20 November 2014 which is available on the OZ Minerals website at http://www.ozminerals.com/operations/resources--reserves.html and
in the OZ Minerals 2014 Annual Report. OZ Minerals confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information
included in the original market announcement and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, that all material assumptions and
technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. OZ
Minerals confirms that the form and context in which the findings of the Competent Person (Colin Lollo in relation to the Mineral Resource estimates
and Justin Taylor in relation to the Ore Reserve estimates) are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

ITEM Q2 Q3
Open pit ore mined 2.5Mt 3.0Mt
Open pit waste mined 9.9Mt 9.7Mt
OPEN PIT PERFORMANCE
Unit costs reflect efficiency gains and tighter
cost control
Sustained productive operating performance,
improved excavator utilisation
Pit stability - now seeing less movement in the
wall when compared to any other time since
monitoring began
Waste to ore strip ratio continued to decline
as planned (3.2:1 for the quarter compared
to 4.0:1 in the prior quarter)
OPEN PIT PERFORMANCE IMPROVING
FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
• External benchmarking has highlighted
productivity improvement against our peers
• Key areas of further opportunity identified
focusing on dig rate and equipment effectiveness
• Innovative deal signed with Minotaur Exploration
