• Formation of Russian nuclear industry and its research & technology base

Start of BN-800 project (the largest commercial reactor on fast neutrons)

1990

1960 1940

2007 The Ministry transformed into ROSATOM State Corporation

1992 ARMZ: Formation of ARMZ • ARMZ becomes one of the world leaders in uranium production • Uranium One is viewed as ARMZ’s global growth platform

• Use of nuclear technologies in military and civil purposes • Entering the global markets

• Industry deregulation • Development of reliability, safety, environment management

Towards the global leadership in in technologies and markets 4


Rosatom — a new vision of global leadership

Rosatom Positioning:

• Retaining foreground development of nuclear technologies • Using synergies with nuclear electricity generation • Development of non-electricity generating nuclear technologies Rosatom Development: • Increase the scale in the energy sector • Commercialization of innovative nuclear technologies

Key Market Challenges after the Fukushima

Impact of Fukushima on future demand

NPPs newbuilds and demand for uranium

? Fukushima, 2011

Chernobyl, 1986 Three Mile Island, 1979

Source: BMO Capital Markets, McKinsey, WNA, UxC

The impact of previous accidents Current situation

The number of newbuilds decreased significantly in the USA and some European countries. However, the general

trend for nuclear industry development kept steady, though moderate, and supported demand growth for uranium (one additional GWe ≈ 65-70 additional lbs U3O8 annually) •

Supply-demand fundamentals are different today compared to Three Mile Island and Chernobyl

The need to address climate change favors nuclear power

The Fukushima has challenged the nuclear renaissance but not the fundamentals of industry development

Source: Projected costs of generating electricity 2010 by IEA, NEA, In the short to medium term: change in nuclear politics, refocusing on safety and reduction of the OECD economic risks of accidents; new regulations will lead to higher costs of newbuilds and NPP modernization, etc. In the longer-term: minimal impact on industry development. Nuclear remains to be the solution both for developing and developed countries, which provides energy security 11

Atomredmetzoloto: Diversification Challenges


REE as ―Critical Metals‖

Генераторы • неодим, празеодим, диспрозий, тербий

Электроприводы управления оперением ракет • самарий

Сенсорные датчики • иттрий

Гидролокаторы • тербий, ниобий

Электроприводы • неодим

Оптика • неодим, лантан, церий

Контроль гравитации в стабилизаторах «умных» бомб • неодим

Люминофоры • европий, иттрий, церий


The REE Market Challenges

World Rare earth production 1990-2010 160

• China– is almost a monopoly controlling close to 97 % of the worlds production

140

• China has introduced a strict

Production volume, ths tonns

quota system and steadily reduces amount of rare earths available for export

100 80

• China said in July 2010 that it

would begin cutting exports and consolidating the industry, ostensibly for environmental reasons.

• Prices for REO has spiked

Currently a non Chinese production is being formed and will alternate the balance substantially. Up to 40% REE to be produced outside China in 2020

tremendously in 2010-2011, but set to fall on lower short term demand forecast

• Current trend for increasing internal consumption and by as early as 2015 China may become a net importer of REO


Diversification has both economical and political reasons

Economical

Political

• •

Uranium market is relatively small and consolidated Diversification allows to overcome these limitations Gains from diversification: single product risk reduction and therefore value increase Additional revenue and margin growth

• •

Insure availability and readiness for innovation economic growth

Develop mineral resource base Geopolitical aspects


• Russian strategic deposits + • Quality assets and high margin production in countries with better mining conditions

Growth rate surpressing Producer with least growth rate of possible production costs and NPP lifetime the market supply guarantee

Being among top 3 players in the key markets

Mining business value maximization

Sustainable leadership
