Oyu Tolgoi: Creating long-term value at


world’s best developing copper project
Turquoise Hill’s investment thesis

 Oyu Tolgoi is world’s best


developing copper project;
expected to be world’s third-largest
copper mine with underground

 Significant cash flow expected from


underground

 Hugo North Lift 1 financing in


place1

 Early underground production


should benefit from expected drop
in copper supply (~2020)

 Oyu Tolgoi’s resources provide


long-term development optionality
1. Financing sources includes project finance facility, supplemental debt (in progress), operating
cash flow from Oyu Tolgoi and Turquoise Hill’s cash; excludes power plant CAPEX. 2

1. Valuation is based on the current trading multiples in $2.60 per pound copper price environment; current long term (2-3 years) copper price assumption varies between $2.75 - $3.00 per pound; transaction comps based
mostly on deals done in $2.18 - $2.51 per pound copper price ranges; does not include valuation uplift from the expected copper price increase ~ 2020; 2. Valuation based on range derived for companies with projects with
similar characteristics and in full production; 3. Adjusted for project finance drawdown cash; 4. Reserves and resources are based on equivalent units of production; 5. Resources includes reserves; 6. TRQ reserves and
resources figures includes 80% of EJV. Resources figure assumes conversion of inferred resources into M+I category (with the exception of Heruga) around the time of achieving full production; 7. The NAV would be higher
closer to production. Source: Brokers, Capital IQ, Mergermarket, company technical reports, annual reports and press articles. Share prices as of 09/12/16. Note: Full production comparables analysis shows Turquoise Hill

Copper in concentrates 201,300 tonnes (actual) 130,000 – 160,000 tonnes
175,000 – 195,000 tonnes

Gold in concentrates 300,000 ounces (acutal) 100,000 – 140,000 ounces

Operating cash costs $840 million* $720 million

Capital expenditures $200 million* (open pit) $100 million (open pit)
$825 million - $925 million (underground)

 2017 production impacted by ~25% less copper head grade and ~50% less gold head grade
 2017 operating cash costs reflects cost improvements and impact of lower logistics costs from
decreased production
 2017 open-pit CAPEX reflects lower maintenance costs, reduced deferred stripping cost due
to optimization and improved tailings storage costs
