Outlook for Global Aluminium Industry

After falling 5.3% in 2001, aluminium consumption rose by an average of 7.8% each year to 2007, mainly
due to Chinese consumption, which increased by an average of 23.7% each year over the same period.
Chinese aluminium consumption is the largest in the world, having overtaken the USA in 2004, with Japan
being the third largest consuming country.

The aluminium market will start to recover in the second half of 2010, and global growth of 4 to 5%, led by
China, is possible in 2011. Average growth in the global aluminium market to 2013 will be around 2.6%
each year resulting in total demand of about 58Mt.

The LME monthly average cash price for high grade aluminium fell from record high of US$3,070/t in July
2008 to US$1,329/t in February as LME stocks increased from 1.1Mt to 3.2Mt. In 2009, aluminium prices
will probably average US$1,400 to US$1,450/t. The large stocks are expected to overhang the market until
the slide in global demand stops, which is expected in early 2010.

Alumina prices have fallen as with the price of aluminium, but power costs remain high, and prices in early
2009 were less than the expenses of many producers.

Electrical power and alumina are the most costly inputs in the production of primary aluminium. A secure,
low cost and close source of power supply is a more important than either proximity to raw materials or
markets, when deciding on a location for an aluminium smelter.
