Base metals rise on upbeat US dataThe base metals pack rose on Friday (August 03)after data showing US employers hired more workersthan expected last month that deflated the dollar andboosted prices.Copper jumped the most in three weeks and rosealongside a 3 per cent rally in crude oil and a late-week surge in equities after the Labor Department saidnonfarm payrolls rose 63,000 in July, breaking threestraight months of job gains below 100,000 and offeringsome hope for the ailing economy.But an increase in the jobless rate to 8.3 per centreminded investors of the still-fragile state of the world'slargest economy and kept prospects of further monetarystimulus from the Federal Reserve on the table.London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month copperrose $115, or 1.6 per cent, to settle at $7,445 a tonne,its biggest one-day gain since July 13, when pricessoared by nearly 2 per cent. Since May, copper priceshave been mired in a range between $7,200 and $7,800in London, pushed and pulled between a waning globalgrowth outlook and a tighter supply base and second-half Chinese demand prospects.On Friday, in other metals, LME three-month aluminiumended up $16 at $1,860 a tonne. Zinc fell 2 per cent lastweek and was trading at around $1,839 on Friday. Theprices are down 1.3 per cent this year, the best performanceamong the exchange's six main metals. While the three-month lead was trading at $1,894 a tonne.Soldering material tin changed hands at $17,895 atonne while nickel settled at $ 15,600 a tonne.In precious metals, gold was down 1.6 per cent duringweek and was on track for its biggest weekly loss insix weeks. Gold managed to climb above $1,600 anounce on Friday after positive US jobs data that boostedappetite for risk, pushing dollar sharply lower againstthe euro and boosting stock markets 2 per cent. Spotgold was trading at $1,602.30 an ounce, while US goldfutures for December delivery changed hands at$1,605.50.The precious metal erased most of the gains it madeafter European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi boostedeuro by pledging to do whatever necessary to supportthe single currency.

Gold, silver decline on sluggish demand, weak global cuesThe prices of gold fell further at the domestic bullion market on Friday (August 03) onlack of buying interest from stockists and traders at current levels and bearish trend inthe overseas markets. Silver too dropped on heavy speculative selling on the back ofsubdued industrial demand.Standard gold (99.5 purity) declined by Rs 115 to end at Rs 29,730 per 10 gm fromWednesday's (August 01) closing level of Rs 29,845. Pure gold (99.9 purity) slipped byRs 95 to close at Rs 29,880 per 10 gm from Rs 29,975. Silver ready (.999 fineness)dipped by Rs 665 per kg to finish at Rs 53,295 as compared to Rs 53,960 previously.The gold traders stayed on the sidelines as they prepared to face weak rural demandafter the weather office forecast a drought which could dent farm incomes and savings.Physical demand has been subdued so far this year and is expected to remain dull afterdoubling of import duty to 4 per cent. Deficient monsoon rains could further dent golddemand in rural areas, which contribute to 60 per cent of imports. The governmentsignalled the first drought in three years, which could squeeze crop yields andfarmers' income.The festival season starts in August in India, the world's biggest gold buyer in 2011, andcontinues till November.On Friday, the most-active gold for October delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchangewas trading lower at Rs 29,946 per 10 grams.

Indian consortium in sightof clinching Afghan deal

Afghan Iron & Steel Company(AFISCO), a consortium of Indianminers & steel companies, has justcompleted its fifth and possiblyfinal negotiations recently.A final contract prepared bylawyers from both sides will bepassed by Afghan cabinet, assoon as their new mineral policyis drafted and approved, saidsenior Afghan official.Last year in November, AFISCOwas selected as the preferredbidder for three of the fourconcessions at Hajigak in theBamian district. Indianconsortium will now have therights for 30 years to develop themine and put up a steel & power

Orissa government said it washopeful on the establishment ofArcelorMittal's proposed 12 mtpasteel plant, which is facing localopposition, in Keonjhar district ina peaceful manner. "Orissagovernment has been supportingindustries to set up units. Thoughthere is opposition to landacquisition by local people, wehave been undertakingindustrialisation peacefully.

plant that it has promised to thewar torn country.As per the sources involved inthe negotiations, Afghanistanhas given the consortium threeyears of exploration and anothercouple of years to put up a steelplant while promising energy andwater resources for its running.An export cap of 6 million tonneper annum (mtpa) is to kick-in ifthere is any delay in setting up asteel and power plant. Officialsfrom the country point out thatAFISCO's bid was considered forthe promised downstreaminfrastructure - a steel plant, apower plant, a 200-km railway linelinking them to the mine that

Indian consortium estimatedcould cost about $11 billion.Afghanistan has also proposeda sliding royalty of 3-12 per centcharged on internationalbenchmark prices for a moreequitable share in the ups anddowns of iron ore prices."Certainly expecting valueaddition is not uncommon for acountry (like Afghanistan) inneed of investment andrebuilding. Having said that onemust ask whether the ecosystemfor an integrated steel plant -energy, water, logistics, andeventually a market for its (steel)use - can be created. Any demand

ArcelorMittal has givencommitment to set up its plant inthe state," said State Steel andMines Minister, Mr RaghunathMohanty. He said, "ArcelorMittalhad so far invested over Rs 70 cr inits Orissa project and was keen toset up its proposed 12 mtpa steelplant in Keonjhar." Gram sabhameetings for the project had beencompleted at 7 of 15 villages underPatana Tehsil area of Keonjhar.

Challenges facing Indian mining industry & global insightsThe challenges facing the Globaland Indian Mining Industry arerapidly reaching anunprecedented level of extremity.Cost inflation for input materialsPOL, Explosives, spare parts ofHEMM have all gone up higher.Land acquisition process isbecoming extremely complex anddifficult and the costs foracquisition have also rocketedsky-high. The volume,unpredictability and associatedcosts are on the rise due tochanges in fiscal, judicial andindustry regulatory policies.Capital projects portfolio in themining sector in India arebulking up as there istremendous pressure on captiveallocation, development andfinally commissioning of nascentcoal blocks. Though,domestically we are still not partof volatile fluctuations in Coaland Iron Ore witnessed by theworld industrial community, yetthe marginal effects have startedrearing its ugly head."As these global forcesconverge, mining executivesmust look beyond the traditionalscenarios they have used in theirplanning. To prepare forpreviously unanticipated risks,companies must begin toincorporate more complexscenarios into their strategicplanning. They also must bewilling to seek unconventionalsolutions to their conventionalchallenges if they truly hope toresolve some of the industry'smost endemic issues."

The cost of doing businessDue to the increasing demandfor coal and other minerals,accelerated production hasbecome the mantra of publicsector as well as private sectormining countries in the country.But the upward pressure oncosts in the form of higher wagecost due to pay revision of Publicsector employees and hiring andretaining mining talent for theprivate sector has startedshowing its effect on the bottomline of mining companies. Bymid-2011, the price of haul trucktires alone had tripled, touching$100,000 on the spot market. ThePOL costs have also gone updue to upward surge in oil prices.There has been a mark increasein Capex costs as well for

PERSPECTIVE

Indian consortium in sight of clinching Afghan deal(Contd. from page 1)

Greenfield as well as brownfieldprojects because of increase inland acquisition costs, mining coalblocks in poor infrastructuredistricts. Indian mining companiesneed to invest in developingGreenfield opportunities in areaslacking in evacuation infrastructuresuch as Mand Raigarh coalfield,Talcher, etc. The Coal Block ownersare finding it difficult to raise andallocate capital expenditure forconstruction of infrastructure inthese remote areas. Thecombination of "Cluster Concept"and Public private partnershipwhere, the coal block owners? pooltogether their available resourcesand make infrastructural extensiona viable economic proposition isan interesting idea to explore andadvance. What further is neededto jumpstart such, cooperativestructuring for infrastructural gainsis the initial inertia of being isolated.Cost management in the Capital

Project phase and duringoperations should remain criticalpriority, impelling forward-thinkingcompanies to institute long-termoptimization and efficiencymeasures in an effort to foster moreresilient operations into the future.

The battle to keep profitsThe Draft MMDR Bill, 2011proposes 26% profit sharing incase of coal and lignite and 100%royalty to be paid as compensationfor other minerals, raising rates onroyalty is a prime example of battlefor mining profits. The royalty ratesin the past year have also risen inAustralia, Chile, Peru, South Africa,Ghana, Tanzania and Burkina Faso.Some of the global eventsillustrating this segment ofchallenge have been imposingsuper profit taxes, discoverybonuses, resource rents, licensefees, indigenization quotas,environmental levies, and miningproperty auction prices. This hasthrown mining companies financialprojections into disarray and inIndia where mining sector is tightlylinked to utilities and metals sector,the financial impact has been feltacross these sectors as well. Todeal with it, the mining industryrequires a proactive, collaborativeapproach that illustrates to all

stakeholders the extent to whichmining activities, and miningprofits, contribute to well-beingof both local communities andsociety at large.

Labour pains in the industryAlthough, the situation in Indiahas not reached such desperateproportions as the mining boomglobal nationalities like Australiaand Canada but with 194 CoalBlocks in various phases ofconcept to commissioning andramp up, the mining talentrequirement may shoot up in nextthree to four years. Already,global firms like Rio Tinto, BHPBilliton are hiring fresh miningengineers directly from thecollege alongwith theexperienced industryprofessionals with substantialwork experience which will createa real glut of talent when we startneeding our mining engineersfor the upcoming undergroundmining blocks. The real shortagewill be felt in disciplines like MinePlanning and Optimization,Ventilation Simulation for deepunderground mines, groundcontrol & rock mechanics, roofsupport planning, deep shaftsinking, winding and transport,maintenance optimizationtechniques for Miningmachinery, simulation andexecution and advancedgeological disciplines.Presently, 90% of our coalproduction comes fromopencast mines where the earliermentioned skill sets are notrequired to great extent andthis is the reason our humanresource managers for themining Industry are not ableto visualize the kind ofpremium skills requirementour country will face in thevery near future.Although the indications foracute labour shortages areemerging from variousnational level reports yet, insome ways, mining companiescontinue to respond in thesame manner every year whileexpecting different results.Certainly, traditional industryresponses to the talent gapwill remain valid but also moreextensive solutions need tobe applied.

for steel can only come frominfrastructure, or housing thatagain will depend on global aid,"said a senior official from PwC.However, an expert said, it issomewhat new and unusual insuch international concession forlong contracts to be linked tobenchmark prices. Theinternational concessions havemostly been signed on a fixedroyalty linked to an ad valoremprice. "Afghanistan seems to have

learnt from other countries whohave had difficulty coming toterms with the wild fluctuations ofiron ore prices, feeling particularlydeprived of the boom that minersencashed in the last couple ofyears," said a senior executivefrom the consortium.AFISCO comprises governmentpromoted Steel Authority ofIndia Ltd, NMDC, RINL andprivate players including JindalSteel & Power Ltd, JSW SteelLtd, JSW Ispat and Monnet Steel

& Power. A joint venturecompany respecting each firmrespective share will beregistered soon. A similar public-private consortium is nowpursuing its chances withcopper deposits on the block inAfghanistan, and will be makinga commercial bid for a copperblock soon. In 2010, the USDepartment of Defence revealedthat Afghan mineral riches couldtotal $1 trillion. Afghanistanbelieves it's closer to $3 trillion.

FERROUS BITSIron ore worth Rs 14,768 cr exported from Goa in FY’12The state government of Goa exported iron ore worth Rs 14,768crore for the financial year 2011-2012. This includes direct exportsor iron ore as well as penultimate sales which are also consideredas exports for the purposes of Central Sales Tax Act, 1956.Chief Minister, Manohar Parrikar said that as per the budget estimatesthe total estimated royalty to be collected by the state during theyear 2012-13 is Rs 890 crore. The state government has collected28.38 crore Value Added Tax on local sale of iron ore and Rs 83.01crore is collected in the form of Central Sales Taxes on inter-state saleof iron ore. The revenue earned by way of income tax from miningsector for the year 2011-2012 is Rs 1,756 crores. "Central governmentalso earn substantial revenue by taking exports duty at 30 per cent ofore price" said Parrikar in written reply in assembly.

DSP's saleable steel output rises 6 pc in July'12Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP), a unit of Steel Authority of IndiaLimited recorded a 6 per cent growth in production of saleablesteel in July 2012 compared to corresponding period last year.More significant, special steels and value-added steels constituted75% of total saleable steel production during the month. "Wehave achieved this in tandem with our strategy to maximiseproduction of special and value-added steels in DSP's saleablesteel basket," said Mr P K Singh, CEO, DSP.In July, 2012 production of hot metal and crude steel also recordeda growth of 6% each over production of hot metal and crude steelin July 2011. The plant also managed to put up an impressiveperformance in the production of blend mix at the Raw MaterialsHandling Plant, concast billets at the Continuous Casting Plantand medium structurals at the Section Mill.

Thebusiness outlook remains stable despite global challenges."

RINL, PowerGrid team up to make electrical steelRashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (Visakhapatnam Steel Plant) has signed amemorandum of understanding with Power Grid Corporation of Indiafor setting up a joint venture electrical steel production facility inVisakhapatnam. According to a press release, the MoU was signedhere on Monday last by Mr A.P Choudhary, CMD of RINL, and MrR.N. Nayak, CMD of Power Grid Corporation. RINL is taking steps toset up production units for value-added products like silicon steel.

IMFA Q1 net declines 24% to Rs 28.45 crThe ferro chrome producer Indian Metals and Ferro Alloys Ltd(IMFA) reported a decline of nearly 24 per cent in net profit to Rs28.45 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, largely due to higherinterest outgo. The Orissa-based company had reported a net profitof Rs 37.42 crore during the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal.The net sales of the company, during the quarter, went up by 10.50per cent to Rs 287.88 crore compared to Rs 260.41 crore in April-Juneof 2011-12, it said in a statement. Besides, the interest payments ofthe company increased by over three times to Rs 32.02 crore.

Outlook stable for Indian steel cos for H2'12: FitchThe outlook for Indian steel makerswill remain stable in H2'12, despitethe slowdown in the growth ofdomestic steel demand, accordingto Fitch Ratings. The agencyexpects steel demand growth torange between 6 per cent and 7 percent for the whole of 2012, with thepace of activity picking up fromOctober after the monsoon. Theproportion of 'Stable' ratingoutlooks in Fitch's portfolio is96 per cent.The slowdown in domesticdemand growth stems from India'sunfavourable macroeconomicenvironment. Fitch has reviseddown its forecasts for real GDPgrowth to 6.5 per cent and 7 percent for the financial year endingMarch 2013 (FY13) and FY14,respectively, from previousforecasts of 7.5 per cent and8 per cent. Less-than-normalmonsoon could also depress

economic growth.Fitch expects profit margins toremain under pressure in H212,given persistent increases in thecost of steel production and steelproducers' limited ability to passon higher costs - due to subdueddemand from end-user industries.The pressure will be greater onnon-integrated steel producers.However, most of the rated entitiesshould be able to keep up with theshort-term demand slowdownwithout a major weakening of theircredit profiles.The cost of funding working-capital requirements remains highdespite a 50 bp reduction in therepo rate in April 2012 by theReserve Bank of India. Inflationremains high, and Fitch expects acontinued, gradual reduction in theinterest rate. Indian steel producerswill have to use a prudent mix ofdomestic and international funding

to contain interest costs. Lower-rated issuers are affected the mostby high interest costs, due to theirlimited financial flexibility.Margins of companies producingsteel through blast furnaces hasbeen affected by a weaker Indianrupee, despite import price parityof Indian steel and softening ofinternational prices of coking coal,the bulk of which is imported. Fitchexpects the weaker rupee to raisethe financial leverage of steelproducers with significant un-hedged foreign-currency liabilities.However, the financial leverage ofrated entities should remain withintheir rating categories. Majority ofIndian steel producers are inexpansion mode, resulting innegative free cash flows. Theliquidity situation is aggravatedfurther by persistent high interestcosts resulting in weaker demandfor steel from end-user industries.

The steelmakers in China sawtheir profits plunge by 96 percent in the first half comparedto a year ago, a Chinese officialsaid recently, as the economicslowdown turned the industryinto a 'disaster zone'.Zhu Jimin, chairman of theChina Iron and SteelAssociation (CISA), said in aspeech posted on theassociation's website that theaggregate profit of the nation'ssteelmakers fell to £376m in thefirst half year due to falling

Chinese steel producers' profits decline by 96% in H1demand and rising costs.Chinese companies have issueda string of profit warnings inrecent weeks as the slightdownturn in economic growthhas had a disproportionateeffect on profits. The ChinaSecurities Journal, an officialnewspaper, described the steelindustry as the "main disasterzone" in the current downturn,with more than 80 per cent oflisted steel producers warningthat their results will be worsethan forecast.

"The first half saw a big drop ininvestments in property andalso in railways, cars and ships,so demand for steel hasweakened," Mr Zhu said.Shipping industry productiondropped 10.1 per cent year onyear while auto production grewby only 6.7 per cent in the firsthalf, depressing demand forsteel.Meanwhile, costs of iron orehave soared, rising to $153 atonne in May from $136 at theend of last year, he said.

The domestic steel producer JSWSteel's plans to list on the LondonStock Exchange (LSE) are back onthe table, according to sourcesprivy to development.As per the sources, the JindalGroup unit is planning toconsolidate its internationalbusinesses under one umbrella,and will list its operations on theLSE post the consolidation.At present, JSW Steel has plateand pipe operations in the US andiron ore operations in Chile & SouthAmerica. The company aims to

JSW Steel revives plans for London listingexpand its international network,both organically and inorganicallyvia acquisitions.Currently, 90 per cent of JSW Steel'sbusiness comes from domesticoperations, which are undergoinga turbulent phase. The slowingeconomic growth, high cost offunds and severe fuel shortage hascrippled corporate India, and JSWSteel has not been spared.Thedepreciation of the rupee has alsohad a huge impact on the profitson the company. For the quarterended June 2012, JSW

OMDC gets MoEF nod to mine at OdishaOrissa Mineral Development Corporation Limited (OMDC), a subsidiaryof RINL, received a nod from ministry of environment and forests tomine three-million tonne of iron-ore and 2.4 lakh tonne of manganesefrom leases it already owns at Kolha Roida in Odisha recently. HindustanSteelworks Construction Limited (HSCL) is likely to get the job ofcontract mining at OMDC's Kohla Roida mine complex in Odisha.When mining operations actually resume at the complex, it will greatlybenefit RINL which does not have captive iron-ore mines. So long,the steel company has been dependent on sourcing iron ore throughmerchant purchases from state-owned mining major, NMDC Limited.Incidentally, OMDC owns reserves of 200-million tonne of iron-oreand 40-million tonne of manganese in Odisha.RINL got steel ministry approval to acquire 51% stake in OMDC in 2010.The latest development is likely to boost prospects of RINL, which isslated to hit the market as part of its forthcoming initial public offer.

Coal India Ltd (CIL) recentlydecided to revise the contentiouspenalty clause in the fuel supplyagreements (FSAs) to be signedwith power firms. The state-runcompany also agreed to supply atleast 80 per cent of the required fuelto power firms. It would meet theproduction gap through imports,amounting to 15 per cent this year."We are revising the FSAs draftedin mid-April; the trigger remainssame, at 80 per cent. There arechanges in the penalty side. Wehave proposed some changes andwe will meet again soon to finalisethese," Chairman S Narsing Raosaid after the company's boardmeeting here. He, however, refusedto share the details of CIL'sproposals on the penalty clause.Prices of imported and domesticcoal would be pooled to supplycoal at an average price to powergeneration utilities. "We haveagreed to import. Import ispracticable when there's pooling.The percentage of import variesfrom year to year. This year, itwould be 18-20 million tonne. Ofour supplies, 65 per cent would bedomestic coal and 15 per centwould be imported. There is abroad agreement on pooling, butthe nitty-gritties need to be

A committee of secretaries,under the principal secretary of thePrime Minister's Office (PMO), alsowants CIL to sign FSAs for allpower projects scheduled to comeup by March 2015. So far, CIL hassigned 15 FSAs with companiessuch as Reliance Power, Lanco, etc.However, the FSA with NTPC, thecountry's largest power producer,has been stuck, owing to the powerpublic sector undertakingopposing provisions in the draft.Under the terms of the draft FSAs,CIL has to ensure at least 80 percent of coal supply to powerproducers or pay a penalty of 0.01per cent. Power producers hadopposed the low penalty andthe provisions that granted athree-year exemption frompaying penalties.Citing production constraints, CILsaid it was not comfortable with the80 per cent trigger. It had sought a65 per cent threshold.

MMR Landed Prices is a neutral pricing mechanism for the domestic market. Currently, this has beendeveloped for copper products, aluminium, lead and zinc. These prices are derived from LME Rates andtake into account premia on CIF, duties and other costs.

MMR Landed Prices = CIF Value + Duty + Other Costs

Thus, MMR Landed Prices provide a realistic estimate of landed costs of imports and as such, arecomparable with domestic producer prices. Details on the calculation of MMR Landed Prices can befound in the explanatory notes alongside. For the convenience of users, two sets of Prices, includingand excluding excise duty, have been provided.

We urge readers to use MMR Landed Prices as a barometer of domestic prices, just as LMErates are synonymous with international prices.

The mining major Vedanta posteda 27 per cent rise in first-quartercore earnings, as strong growthin power sales offset the impactof lower metal prices and zincvolumes. The firm said recentlythat Ebitda rose 27 per cent year-on-year to $1.34 billion in the threemonths to the end of June. Salesrose 9% to $3.7 billion.First quarter output of minedmetal in the group's zinc India unitwas 187,000 tonne, in line with theyear's mine plan, compared with188,000 tonne in the year-earlierperiod. The first-quarter output ofintegrated silver rose 70% to 2.6million ounces while integratedlead production was 79% higherat 29,000 tonne, boosted by theramp-up of the SK mine, accordingto the company. Total productionof zinc-lead metal-in-concentrateand zinc metal was in line with the

Vedanta first quarter core earnings rise 27%mine plan and earlier guidance at106,000 tonne.It sold 2,329 million units of powerin the first quarter, significantlyhigher than the 1,415 million unitsit sold in the same period a yearearlier, it said.Vedanta said production of ironore fell to 3.4 million tonne from4.4 million tonne in the year-earlierquarter, hit by a ban on mining inthe southern Indian state ofKarnataka and logisticsconstraints in Goa. Zambiancopper cathode output rose 12%year-on-year to 41,000 tonne withthe ramp-up of the Nchanga Eastconcentrator.It said plans to consolidate andsimplify the company's structurewere on track for completion in thelast quarter of 2012 after it receivedshareholders approval and the go-ahead from the Foreign

Investment Promotion Board inthe first quarter.Meanwhile, Fitch Ratings hasrevised Vedanta's outlook to'Positive' from 'Stable' whileaffirming its Long-Term ForeignCurrency Issuer Default Rating(FC IDR) at 'BB+'. The agencyhas also affirmed Vedanta'ssenior unsecured debt rating at'BB'.

This is due toexecution of a large part of itscapex plans, which should lead topositive free cash flow generationeven if metal prices remain soft.
