Significant Initiatives

Electrical Power $65 million per year operating cost for Nevada (2nd to labor) Tiger Teams integral to reducing consumption (~10%)

Workforce Optimization Comprehensive review of organizational structure Natural extension of 5-year attrition mode

– Total employment down from 3,500 to 2,600 since 1997 Midas Integration

Accelerated integration Synergies of $8 million per annum

Other 80 – 100 teams focused on wide spectrum of change initiatives Key focus: safety, environmental, productivity, cost and cash flow
