 MEL Future Growth Options

MEL is developing studies in three areas:

Improve the performance of actual facilities through optimization and small

expansions such as pre-crushing and additional grinding capacity,
Increase throughput by adding new facilities, such as a new/additional
concentrator to the two existing ones.
Increase/maintain throughput over time by bringing in new potential ore
sources by exploration.

Exploration:

MEL initiated a brown fields exploration program in 2005 with the objective of
investigation the ore potential of its current tenements (4,000 sq. kms
approx) around its operations.

 BHP Billitons Strategy Short & Long
Term.

Considering the gas fired power generation installed in the SING and the uncertainty in the
natural gas supply, BHP Billiton defined a strategy to ensure electricity supply at the lowest
possible cost:

Interim Solution (2007-2010):

Running pre-feasibility studies for different alternatives:
Self generation (Local Diesel Generators)
On Shore LNG Terminal (Regasification On Shore & Floating Storage)
Off Shore LNG Terminal (FSRU - Floating Storage Regasification Unit)

Long-term Power Supply (2010-2026):

Subscribe Power Purchase Agreements with power generation companies based in coal
fired generation.

The agreements involve the construction and operation of a coal fired thermoelectric plant of
at least 400 MW connected to the SING.
