Historical Commodity Price Volatility Flattening Out 8

Commodity Historical Forecast(1) Key Drivers

Coking Coal (US$ / tonne)

Hard coking coal volatility continues

Forecast well above past levels

Trends: China , US / EUR

Thermal Coal (US$ / tonne)

De-stocking / gas impacting near-term

Coal remains primary global fuel

Iron Ore (US$ / tonne)

Volatility created scare amongst producers

Significant new supply deferred

Long-term supply will impact pricing

Copper (US$ / lb)

High cost new supply deferred / cancelled

Input costs / China demand are concerns

Gold (US$ / ozt)

Focus on interest rates, FX, inflation

New supply replacing aging mines

Significant Cash Flow Potential Based on Current Outlook 8

Commodity Industry Commentary

Coking Coal

“Coking coal is going to be a very strong one in the future as China and

India’s requirement for imported coking coal increases.”

- Ian Kilgour (SVP – Coal)

Thermal Coal

“The key for urbanizing countries in Asia, thermal coal remains the

lowest cost fuel source for power generation.”

- Mick Davis (CEO)

Iron Ore

“High demand growth rates in China associated with that steel intensive

phase of development at times have overwhelmed the capacity of the

low cost producers to expand.”

- Marius Kloppers (Former CEO)

Copper

“Copper remains a highly attractive business, given the on-go supplying

constraints that persist in this sector. As production has struggled to

grow due to decline in grades and production disruptions.”

- Tom Albanese (Former CEO)

Gold

“We think the gold price has a long way to run. It is the one currency

whose supply is limited and can’t be created by electronic printing

presses.”

- Russel Ball (CFO)

into a derivatives transaction under U.S. CFTC Regulations §§ 1.71 and 23.605, where applicable, but is not a binding offer to buy/sell any financial instrument.

However, this is not a recommendation to enter into any swap with any counterparty or a recommendation of a trading strategy involving a swap. Prior to recommending a swap or a trading strategy involving

a swap to you, Citigroup would need to undertake diligence in order to have a reasonable basis to believe that the recommended swap or swap trading strategy is suitable for you, obtain written

representations from you that you are exercising independent judgment in evaluating any such recommendation, and make certain disclosures to you. Furthermore, nothing in this pitch book is, or should be

construed to be, an offer to enter into a swap.
