VALUE AND VOLUME

Aktogay II and Baimskaya will significantly increase the Group's copper production at a lower capital intensity than the previous major growth projects

Economies of scale at Aktogay II will maintain cash costs at 100-1201USc/lb out to 2027

Baimskaya is expected to be in the first quartile of the global cost curve

Both projects offer significant NPV uplift and attractive IRR

AKTOGAY - RECORD COPPER PRODUCTION

Q4 2019:

  • 6.4 Mt ore processed (Q3 2019: 6.1 Mt) as scheduled maintenance deferred from Q4 2019 to January 2020
  • Copper production 34.3 kt (Q3 2019: 37.3 kt) - seasonally lower oxide output and reduced sulphide grades

FY 2019:

  • 55.1 Mt ore extracted (2018: 41.9 Mt) due to stripping of low grade ore and preparation for Aktogay II
  • 25.2 Mt sulphide ore processed (2018: 20.8 Mt), achieved annual design capacity

  • Copper production increased 8% to 110.2 kt (2018: 101.6 kt), at themid-point of guidance of 105-115 kt
  • Gold production increased 13% to 144.8 koz (2018: 127.8 koz), above guidance due to high grades and recoveries

EAST REGION AND BOZYMCHAK

Q4 2019:

  • Ore processed increased to 1,016 kt (Q3 2019: 982 kt) due to processing of stockpiles
  • Belousovsky concentrator closed as planned on 25 October, ore now processed at Nikolayevsky
  • Copper production increased 16% to 15.6 kt (Q3 2019: 13.5 kt), due to higher Nikolayevsky throughput and higher grades at Orlovsky

FY 2019:

  • Copper production 55.5 kt in line with guidance
  • Gold and silver production exceeded guidance

Artemyevsky grades and ore volumes will remain at around current levels until extraction commences from the second ore body, expected from 2022

Orlovsky production over its remaining life expected to be at or below current output, as mining takes place in deeper horizons and more challenging geological conditions

LOW RISK NEAR TERM GROWTH

Aktogay II is a $1.2 billion project approved in December 2017 to double sulphide processing capacity from 25 to 50 Mtpa

Low risk project, benefits from existing site infrastructure and identical concentrator design to Aktogay I and Bozshakol

First production expected in 2021, ramp up in 2022

Adds c.80 kt of annual copper production from 2022-27 and c.60 kt from 2028 onwards

AKTOGAY GUIDANCE SUMMARY

Net cash costs to 2027 expected to be maintained at 100-120 USc/lb1

Operating cost efficiencies from larger scale mining operations offset the effect of accelerated grade decline, as processing volumes are brought forward

Sustaining capital expenditure estimated to increase from $30-$40 million to $50-$60 million per annum from 2022

PROJECT PROGRESSING

A bankable feasibility study is being conducted by Fluor Corporation and is due to be completed in H1 2020

Preliminary discussions on financing continue

Partnering options to be assessed

Existing TASED zone expanded to include Baimskaya licence area

$80 million of capital expenditure approved for pioneer works in H2 2019:

  • Camp, fuel storage, landing strip and site power infrastructure
  • Total 2019 capex guidance now $150 million, including $70 million feasibility study costs

6. Platform for growth

PLATFORM FOR GROWTH

KAZ Minerals continues to deliver strong operational and financial results from its high quality existing assets

Group is well equipped to navigate copper price fluctuations, with amongst the lowest operating costs of copper miners globally

Operating cash flow and new $600 million DBK financing supports investment in copper growth pipeline

Near term growth from Aktogay II is low risk and is progressing on schedule and within budget

The strengthened platform post Aktogay II start-up will support investment into the transformational Baimskaya growth project
