ArcelorMittal coal mining in Kazakhstan

• Acquisition in 1996 by Ispat Karmet

• 15 coal mines at takeover, now 8 in 2012

• High grade coking coal + thermal coal

• Characterized by gaseous seams

• Major incidents in coal mines in 2004, 2006, and 2008

Key challenges in Kazakhstan

• Cultural barriers and people

• Legislative restrictions – Review of mining regulations – Review of Labor Code of Kazakhstan– Introduction of World Class Equipment /

Practices

• Geological make-up of coal seams – Region characterized by high methane

content of coal – up to 35m3/t– Risk of gas outbursts

Challenging barriers to be overcome

Focus on safety – Global picture

* World steel association -standard: Fr = Lost Time Injuries per 1.000.000 worked hours; based on own personnel and contractors

Safety remains the No1 priority for ArcelorMittal

ArcelorMittal Mining segment injury frequency rate* ArcelorMittal Group injury frequency rate* (Steel and Mining)

– Mining Segment Safety performance has also improved significantly

– Trending towards world class standards

– Group Health and safety performance has improved significantly since 2007

– LTIF rate has more than halved and group is on track for 2013 objectives

Long term safety targets trending towards world class3.1

Modernisation programme for coal mines

• Mining modernisation programme progressing:

– Committed $674 million during 2000-2011

– Investment in 2012 will be in line with programme

• During the economic crisis Health and Safety

– Investment was not compromised

• Continued support in Kazakhstan for Steel, Coal and Iron Ore operations

• World Class techniques and equipment purchased and commissioned in the coal mines

Summary

Page 17: Supporting development of mining and metallurgy sector in Kazakhstan: how we can make coal mining a safer business David Vint, General Manager, Coal Operations

Mining is a clear, strategic priority of the Group

Operating in Kazakhstan is valuable but complex

Clear progress in our own performance and operating culture but challenges remain

Reducing risk to as low as possible
