TD Securities Mining Conference JANUARY 18-19, 2017 Oyu Tolgoi:Creating long-term value at world’s best developing copper project
Turquoise Hill’s investment thesis � Oyu Tolgoi expected to be world’s third-largest copper mine with underground � Hugo North Lift 1 financing in place 1 � Timing of underground benefits from expected drop in copper supply (~2020) � Oyu Tolgoi’s resources provide long-term development optionality 1. Financing sources includes project finance facility, supplemental debt (in progress), operating cash flow from Oyu Tolgoi and Turquoise Hill’s cash; excludes power plant CAPEX. 2
Long-term copper fundamentals strong Copper supply/demand outlook � Copper market likely to be in balance in 2017 Base Highly Probable Primary Demand Annual avg cu price � 30 $4 Ongoing attrition at existing Forecast mines driven by declining Annual average LME copper price (US$/lb) grade 25 $3 Copper supply/demand (Mt) � Continued demand growth requires new capacity in the 20 medium-term $2 15 � Market anticipates surplus in 2018-19 before moving into $1 deficit from 2020 10 � China now largest buyer of 5 $- gold and continues to be 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 largest consumer of copper Source: Wood Mackenzie (Q3’16 Long-Term Outlook) 3

Valuation is based on the current trading multiples in $2.60 per pound copper price environment; current long term (2-3 years) copper price assumption varies between $2.75 - $3.00 per pound; transaction comps based mostly on deals done in $2.18 - $2.51 per pound copper price ranges; does not include valuation uplift from the expected copper price increase ~ 2020; 2. Valuation based on range derived for companies with projects with similar characteristics and in full production; 3. Adjusted for project finance drawdown cash; 4. Reserves and resources are based on equivalent units of production; 5. Resources includes reserves; 6. TRQ reserves and resources figures includes 80% of EJV. Resources figure assumes conversion of inferred resources into M+I category (with the exception of Heruga) around the time of achieving full production; 7. The NAV would be higher closer to production. Source: Brokers, Capital IQ, Mergermarket, company technical reports, annual reports and press articles. Share prices as of 09/12/16.
