2015 FIRST QUARTER OVERVIEW A STRONG BASE FROM WHICH TO BUILD • Strong copper production of 31,160 tonnes, First Quarter Results – Key Statistics best quarterly production since Q1 2010. Item Value • Gold production slightly lower than prior Contained Copper produced (t) 31,160 quarter with maximum value derived from Contained Gold produced (oz) 32,873 prioritising copper ore. Open pit waste (Mt) 9.94 • Ankata and Malu Underground mining as Open pit ore (Mt) 2.85 planned. Focus for 2015 remains on improving development rates. Underground ore (Mt) 0.46 • Open pit unit costs increased from Q4 due to Milling (Mt) 2.48 demobilisation charges, lower total tonnes offset by lower diesel prices. Copper sold (t) 25,289 • Sales lower than production due to shipment Gold sold (oz) 29,650 timing with March shipment occurring in April. Open Pit unit costs $/t 5.77 C1 costs USc/lb 63 • Lower C1 costs reflect higher copper production and falling A$/US$. Favorable to guidance Unfavorable to guidance OZ Minerals | 4
2015 FULL – YEAR GUIDANCE 2015 GUIDANCE REFLECTIVE OF A LEANER, MORE AGILE BUSINESS • Accelerating mine plan pulls copper 2015 Production and Costs production forward. Item Range • Reducing mine volumes release cash flow Copper production 110,000 to 120,000 tonnes earlier. Gold production 100,000 to 110,000 ounces • Mine unit costs influenced by fixed costs Open pit strip ratio 2.8 to 3.2 which don’t adjust with mined volumes. Open pit material movement 48 to 52 Mt • C1 costs benefit from higher total copper Open pit unit mining costs $5.80 to $6.10/t production and lower A$/US$. • Malu UG capital expenditure lower than C1* US80 to US95 c/lb previously advised with deferral of drilling Malu Underground capital $80 million and reduced development rates. expenditure • Studies focused on unlocking Carrapateena Sustaining capital expenditure $16 million value and reducing risk. Studies and Exploration • Hydromet $19m • Other studies (Rail, Malu Deeps) • Exploration focused on drilling at very $6m promising Jamaica prospects and advanced • Carrapateena drilling $5m • Global drilling $8m target identification. • Other Carrapateena activities and lease retention $7m * Assumptions: Gold US$1,200oz, A$/US$ 78c OZ Minerals | 5
