Forecasting ~45% increase in Cu demand by 2030

“As copper porphyries mature, a significant deficit is expected to emerge beyond 2018 – grade decline, higher strip ratios and longer cycle times underpin an attractive industry structure’’ - Mike Henry, President, HSE, Marketing & Technology – Nov 2014

Need for an additional +10 million tonnes of copper by 2030, which is the equivalent of 50 mines the size of Olympic Dam

Forecasting ~25% increase in Zn demand by 2019

“Market expectations of zinc demand growth are in excess of 5% per annum for the next five years”

“what we are seeing now is a recognition that not only Century but a number of other mines are coming to an end," Andrew Michelmore, CEO MMG – Feb 2014
