Freight AdvantagesKemaman has distinct freight advantages over other pellet producers

Reduced Shipping Times

Smaller Shipping Quantities

Reduced Working Capital Cost

Proximity to Key Markets

Grange Pellets – Competitive AdvantageGrange can produce both BF and DR Grade pellets which are comparable in quality and have significant freight advantages over the current pellet supply.

! DR Grade (67.4% Fe)

! Extremely low Phos Levels (< 0.005%)

! Low Freight Costs

! Small Quantities can be shipped economically

! Lower customer working capital expense

! Low Pelletising costs at Kemaman

Page 21: S TO C K E X C H A N G E A N N O U N C E M E N T INVESTOR ... · PDF fileS TO C K E X C H A N G E A N N O U N C E M E N T INVESTOR P R ESENT A ... a g in g D ir e c to r a n d C E

Phosphorus ContentIncreasing demand for low phos pellets to offset high phos DSO ores from the Pilbara. Grange’s pellets have extremely low phos content.

SE Asia! Perwaja Steel! Mega Steel! Krakatau Steel

Gulf! Hadeed! Qasco! Shadeed! Al-Tuwairqi! Others

Drivers of increasing DR Pellet Demand! Capital cost of traditional integrated steel plants – availability / cost of coking coal! Environmental issues of sinter plants – intensifying over time! Abundant and cheap natural gas availability in SE Asia and Gulf Region! Flexible steel production! Compatibility with increased steel scrap recycling! Proximity of steel plants to fast growing markets in SE Asia and Middle East

Funding Plan

• Grange (with Azure Capital) is currently running a process to secure funding and development partners for the project.

• Grange is currently working with a number of potential partners.

• A range of alternative (to Base Case) development models being considered, including a staged (3.5Mtpy) approach

• Re-pricing Project’s capital and operating costs to June 2007 dollars. Consideration of Chinese equipment supply (Particularly pellet plants) and revised mining costs.
