5 Years Commodity Historical Prices
Iron Ore Fines

Goldman Sachs maintains the


long-term iron ore target of $35/t
but highlight the potential for
continued price volatility until
steel inventories normalize. This
price will keep pushing higher-
cost companies out of the
market.

5 Years Commodity Historical Prices
Thermal Coal

The industry does not require


new investment given the ability
of existing assets to satisfy flat
demand, so prices will remain
under pressure as the
deflationary cycle continues,
Goldman Sachs wrote in
September 2015.

5 Years Commodity Historical Prices
Nickel

According to the the Australian


Department of Industry, world nickel
consumption is expected to stay flat
in 2016 and 2017 as a result of weak
economic growth and no rise in steel
production.

5 Years Commodity Historical Prices
Copper

The value of Chile's copper exports


fell 16.1% in the first half, compared
to H1 2015, on par with the financial
crisis of 2009
The plunge in values of course
reflects the slump in the copper price,
which has halved from $10,190 a
tonne in 2011 to a seven-year low of
$4,318 in January.

Trends and Challenges to the MMM Segment
Global demand for minerals and metals will continue rising...

Fundamentals driving consumption increase Global Economy is becoming consumption-driven


If in 2025 (8B people) 60% of the world consumed as the US does it
today, then capacity will have to increase by

Despite commodity price decrease and volatility Investment will continue

1. Capital and Labor Productivity Increase


2. Sustainability
3. Differentiation (Value Creation)
4. Capacity Increase (Volume and Grades)
