THE CHINESE DREAM

2

2013 global demand

2020 global demand

“The Chinese Dream fundamentally is the dream

of the Chinese people… to build a moderately

prosperous society…”

Xi Jinping, President of China (Mar-13)

The realisation of ‘The Chinese Dream’

• 20m Chinese annually moving to urban regions

• Urbanisation directly correlated to per capital steel consumption (and consequential iron ore demand)

• 40% forecast increase in Chinese steel production (2015-2025)

• US$6.8 trillion ‘National New-Type Urbanisation Plan’ (Mar-14)

• 100 million Chinese to be integrated into urban regions by 2020

CHINA URBANISATION

Chinese Household – Steel Intensity

Chinese Population – Rural vs Urban

Iron ore – a commodity with decades of demand

• China responsible for circa 50% of worldwide demand

Global Crude Steel Production, Mt

Global Demand – Iron Ore Imports

Tomorrow’s best positioned miners

• Lowest cost position Rio = US$40/tonne BHPB = US$44/tonne FMG = US$50/tonne

• Eternal producers 2013 demand = 1,260Mt 2016 demand = 1,500Mt Global demand needs to halve before miners reduce export volumes

• Highest Fe content globally

THE PILBARA – GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE POSITION

The world’s lowest production costs

US$ cost to produce per tonne

THE CHINESE DREAM – GROWTH = POLLUTION

• Beijing second most polluted city globally City second most worse living environment in the world (Shanghai Academy of Science, Feb-14)

THE CHINESE DREAM – DOMESTIC IRON ORE KEY POLLUTION CONTRIBUTOR

Dirty smelters with domestic low grade ore targeted

7

2013 global demand

• US$1.6bn fund to control air pollution (Feb-14) Established by Chinese government “consumption of coal” to be controlled – iron ore smelters key consumer of coal

• “We will resolutely declare war against pollution as we declared war against poverty” (Mr Li, Premier of China)

WESTERN AUSTRALIA’S PILBARA REGION

MINERAL AND RESOURCE RICH - LARGEST PROJECTS STILL TO COME

12

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

THREE PILBARA CITIES

13

Three Pilbara Cities offer secure investment

• They support many mines and lucrative resource projects in between

• Are experiencing strong population growth

• Have limited land supply

• Are currently underdeveloped

• Are enjoying significant government investment through a program called ‘Royalties for Regions’

• MACRO is developing real estate in Port Hedland and Newman where the returns have been the highest in Australia (as a

10 year average)

FOCUSSING ON THE PILBARA AT THE MOMENT AS IT IS THE HIGHEST

YIELDING AND GROWTH MARKET IN AUSTRALIA

14

WESTERN AUSTRALIA IS NOW IN THE PHASE OF

A ‘PRODUCTION BOOM’ WITH A STRONG NEED FOR MORE ACCOMODATION

15

THE MOST RECENT COMMSEC REPORT SHOWS

WESTERN AUSTRALIA HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF POPULATION GROWTH

16

PORT HEDLAND - LARGEST PORT

IN THE WORLD BY BULK EXPORT

Large demand/supply mismatch

• 2013 undersupply of over 1571 dwellings

• Only 611 dwellings are expected by the State Government to

be built over the next 12 months

17

Largest bulk commodities export port

• Exporting iron ore from twelve mines owned by miners such as BHP, Fortescue Metals Group and Atlas Iron

• Seven other operating/committed mining projects located within 50km radius

Strong population growth

• Home to 21,000 residents, Port Hedland is forecast by economist AEC group to reach a population of 35,000 people by 2025.

• Population growth is being driven by

(1) committed new projects,

• (2) significant government investment and

• (3) a trend away from fixed mining camps to residential housing

NEWMAN - LARGEST OPEN CUT

IRON ORE MINE IN THE WORLD

Large demand/supply mismatch

• 2012 undersupply of over 360 dwellings

• 817 new dwellings required by 2015

18

Largest Inland Pilbara town

• Newman is located 6km from Mt Whaleback, the largest open cut iron ore mine in the world

• Mt Whaleback is BHP Billiton’s single, largest project

• Ten other operating/committed mining projects are located within 50km radius (1)

• 1200 kilometres from Perth and 455 kilometres from the nearest city; a key service centre and processing hub

Affluent town of 6,000 residents planned to reach 15,000

• Very high proportion of workforce employed in mining

with an average income of $160,000 per annum

• Median weekly income 2.3x higher than national average (2)

NEW MINES AND PROJECTS ARE STARTING EVERY MONTH TO CAPITALISE

ON THE LOW COST OF PRODUCTION AND EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

21

THE PILBARA PAYS THE HIGHEST

WAGES – CORPORATE TENANTS

22

• There is a large migration to the Pilbara for higher paying jobs (average wage

$160,000 per annum)

• The mining companies and service related companies are the tenants, not the individual employees

(the workers have their accommodation

paid for as part of their salary package)

• Better accommodation, attracts better employees and promotes staff retention

• The companies have a preference for new accommodation

BOTH THE 10 YEAR AVERAGE AUSTRALIAN RENTAL YIELDS AND

CAPITAL GROWTH RATES ARE THE HIGHEST IN THE PILBARA

TYPICAL ACCOMODATION

IN PORT HEDLAND

25

• 90% of accommodation is substandard;

dilapidated – even shipping containers

are being used

• Median prices above $1,000,000 (AUD)

• New properties achieve more than 13%

rental yield, unlevered as there is not

enough supply yet huge demand

• Supply of land in Port Hedland and

Newman, is very restricted

TO REVITALISING PORT HEDLAND AND NEWMAN

35

The government’s vision:

• “to build vibrant cities that offer economic sustainability from one generation to the next”

• “a radical shift in the way we think of the Pilbara – not as a place of transience, but of permanent, thriving communities

• 50% population growth in ten years 2013 population = 20,200 2003 population = 13,100

• Shortfall of 364 dwellings by 2015

• New supply severely constrained Extensive flood plain restrictions Extensive environmental restrictions

facilities and accommodation

MACRO’S NEXT PROJECT

44

McGregory St – Fully Approved, 91 Land Lot Subdivision (Mar-13)

Port Hedland – Flood Plain Constrained

• McGregor St (640 dwellings) Mar-13 planning approved for 248 Construction can commence immediately

• Spoilbank – proposed Rezoning years away Feb-14 WA Environmental Protection Authority rejected rezoning due to dust levels (from iron ore loading)

• Pretty Pool – proposed Rezoning process not yet underway Artificial lake/canals required to manage flooding

Site

Pretty Pool: Requires rezoning,

extensive dredging, land fill and

environmental hurdles

Spoilbank: Requires rezoning,

extensive land fill and storm surge

protection ; dust issues

For the following reasons, supply remains tight

WITH THE LAND AND FURTHER INVESTMENT

WE CAN MAKE THE PILBARA CITIES LIVEABLE

INVESTING IN OUR DEVELOPMENTS OR PORTFOLIOS

HELPS TRANSFORM THIS:

CAN MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND HAVE A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE

PART PROCEEDS OF DEVELOPMENTS GO TO CHARITY

57

• Development proceeds (10%) this financial year go towards the Minderoo Foundation (Andrew Forrest’s charity)

Minderoo and Andrew Forrest

• Andrew Forrest (now a billionaire) founded Fortescue Metals Group in April 2003

• Andrew Forrest is the first Australian to have joined the Giving Pledge (along with

Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet); which donates the majority of their wealth to charity

• Since 2001 the Minderoo Foundation has donated $274,403,266 to charity
