Positive outlook for FY2014

==> picture [347 x 242] intentionally omitted <==

In the short term…

  • ore inventories at Chinese ports remain low and have not recovered from destocking in 2012

  • Chinese steel mill production remains at historic highs

  • Chinese economic growth is forecast to remain healthy at ~7% pa on a larger base

  • potential for substantial short term destocking is limited

And in the long term…

  • the outlook for underlying iron ore demand growth remains healthy

  • planned supply side increases historically take much longer and deliver smaller volume increases than originally proposed

  • the Australian dollar is expected to continue to soften towards a long term average of ≤US$0.90

  • MGX will benefit from comparatively stronger A$ iron ore prices and lower A$ costs
