No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy, or completeness of the information, contained in the presentation or of the views, opinions and conclusions contained in this material. To the maximum extent permitted by law, OZ Minerals and its related bodies corporate and affiliates, and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisers disclaim any liability (including, without limitation any liability arising from fault or negligence) for any loss or damage arising from any use of this material or its contents, including any error or omission therefrom, or otherwise arising in connection with it.
Some statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US securities laws. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with regard to capacity, future production and grades, projections for sales growth, estimated revenues and reserves, targets for cost savings, the construction cost of new projects, projected capital expenditures, the timing of new projects, future cash flow and debt levels, the outlook for minerals and metals prices, the outlook for economic recovery and trends in the trading environment and may be (but are not necessarily) identified by the use of phrases such as “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe” and “envisage”. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and may be outside OZ Minerals’ control. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements because of a number of factors, including levels of demand and market prices, the ability to produce and transport products profitably, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, operational problems, political uncertainty and economic conditions in relevant areas of the world, the actions of competitors, activities by governmental authorities, such as changes in taxation or regulation. Given these risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of the presentation.

DISCLAIMERS CONTINUED: Production Outlook
a) The information that relates to Prominent Hill future production outlook (on pages 11 and 12) is extracted from the report entitled “Prominent Hill Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement as at 30 June 2013” released to the market on 11 December 2013 (‘PHRR’) and is available to view on ww.ozminerals.com/operations/resources-reserves.html. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the PHRR and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the PHRR continue to apply and have not materially changed. b) The production target for Malu Underground (on pages 11, 12, 56 and 58) is based on the Company’s current expectations of future results or events and should not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. It is based on the Company’s current understanding of the Resource. The Malu Underground Resource is based on measured, indicated and inferred Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources, and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised. The Company has not yet completed the necessary technical studies to determine an ore reserve, and the production target should not be misconstrued as an ore reserve. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met.

Waste mining tonnages continue to progressively reduce – gross open pit expenditure to decrease. One excavator and trucks demobilised in December 2013, next excavator and equipment to be removed in Q2 2014. Future unit cost per tonne to be impacted by fixed costs being spread over fewer tonnes. Good progress is being made on efficiencies and costs – as demonstrated by Q1 performance and general trend.

OPEN PIT EXPENDITURE BY ACTIVITY & NATURE
•
Negotiation with suppliers has yielded savings and/or avoided cost escalations.
OZ MINERALS • PAGE 22
MODELLING TOPICS Payment of taxation • • • • •
Because of timing differences between tax deductions and accounting deductions, tax payments cannot be calculated as a function of accounting profit. Significant timing differences arise because a majority of the deferred waste capitalised for accounts may be deducted immediately for tax. The 2013 Annual Report, Note 8, provides the opening deferred tax assets and tax liabilities. Current modelling indicates tax payment liabilities arising in respect of the 2016 year with payments commencing in 2017. Fractional tax losses which are available for offset after utilisation of unrestricted tax losses effectively reduce the corporate tax rate for the Group from 30 percent to 27 percent.
Write down of low grade gold ore • • •
As in December 2013, write downs for low grade gold ore will be part of underlying profit. This accounting entry has no impact on the cash flow, NPV or reserves of Prominent Hill. OZ Minerals will provide the written down amount separately to allow analysis of the result.
Stock movement of ore •
Ore mined from Malu Open Pit, Ankata Underground and Malu Underground is expected to be 10mtpa+ in 2015 – 2018. The mill has historically treated 9-10mtpa – this will result in an increase in ore inventories.
OZ MINERALS • PAGE 23
ACCELERATED PRODUCTION -> HIGHER WORKING CAPITAL LOWER CASH AT 30/6; FULL YEAR CASH GUIDANCE REMAINS
H1 Compared to expectations
•
Better open pit performance with improved efficiencies and lower unit costs results in higher cash spend in H1.
ORE STOCKS
•
Good start to year leading to increased copper ore in stockpiles at end of H1.
CONCENTRATE STOCKS
•
Increased concentrate stocks currently expected at end H1. Sales biased to H2.
•
Receivables currently expected to increase in H1 due to timing of sales revenue.
•
Payables at normal levels.
OPEN PIT MOVEMENT
RECEIVABLES PAYABLES • • •
Strong site performance in H1. Increases in concentrate stocks due to shipment timing and will likely reverse in H2. Cash expected to be lower at June 30 and increase in H2, to be neutral for the year (excluding dividend payments).

SUMMARY
OZ MINERALS • NOVEMBER 2009 • PAGE 74
SUMMARY
OPEN PIT • • • •
Issues in 2013 now overcome. Restructure highly successful. Demonstrated productivity improvements. Strong performance in first quarter continues into second quarter.
UNDERGROUND • • •
Ankata Underground continues to perform well. Potential for incremental additions at ‘Peabrain’. Malu Underground on track for first production late 2014.
PROCESSING • • •
Consistent strong performer. Continuing improvements being implemented with expanded flotation circuit. Grades and throughput planned to increase in H2.
COSTS •
• •
Cash to dip in H1 and recover in H2 due to strong material movement in H1 and shipments weighted to H2. Costs being controlled and remain a key focus. Cash generation to improve as fleet is demobilised.
