2. Forward looking statements
This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward looking statements” which are prospective in nature. These forward looking statements may be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, or the negative thereof such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "continues", "assumes", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "aims", "forecasts", "risks", "intends", "positioned", "predicts", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words or comparable terminology and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", “shall”, "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current predictions, expectations, beliefs, opinions, plans, objectives, goals, intentions and projections about future events, results of operations, prospects, financial condition and discussions of strategy.
By their nature, forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Glencore’s control. Forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may and often do differ materially from actual results. Important factors that could cause these uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Principal risks and uncertainties” of Glencore’s Annual Report 2013 and “Risks and uncertainties” in Glencore’s 2014 Half-Year Report.
Neither Glencore nor any of its associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this document will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which only speak as of the date of this document. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations (including under the UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Listing Requirements of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited), Glencore is not under any obligation and Glencore and its affiliates expressly disclaim any intention, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This document shall not, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the business or affairs of Glencore since the date of this document or that the information contained herein is correct as at any time subsequent to its date.
No statement in this document is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this document should be interpreted to mean that earnings per Glencore share for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per Glencore share.
This document does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for any securities. The making of this document does not constitute a recommendation regarding any securities.

Note: (1) Lost time incidents (LTIs) are recorded when an employee or contractor is unable to work following an incident. Glencore records LTIs which result in lost days from the next calendar day after the incident whilst Xstrata recorded LTIs which resulted in lost days from the next rostered day after the incident – therefore the combined LTI figure is not based on data of consistent definition (historically, prior to merger). LTIFR is the total number of LTIs recorded per million working hours.
23. Our priorities for 2015
23
•Successfully deliver remaining key growth projects
•Koniambo, McArthur River, Katanga, Chad oil fields
•Ensure continued operating efficiency, targeting Q1 costs/margins
•Maintain strong investment grade credit rating
•Maintain disciplined deployment of capital to maximise free cash flow growth
•Glencore considers portfolio not only marginal NPV
•Confidence to:
•grow base dividend
•recycle excess capital to shareholders
•be opportunistic, but within our capital allocation framework
•Focus on continuing improvements in our health, safety, sustainability and governance performance

High ROE(1)
•>95% of marketed volumes are hedged or pre- sold to mitigate price risk exposure
•The 2 key risks are actively managed:
•Credit risk – mitigated by: counterparty risk analysis, extensive use of letters of credit, credit insurance and having collateral
•Market risk – mitigated by: derivatives used to hedge market risk assumed in physical marketing, adherence to VaR limits, regular stress testing
•Fast turning inventory and receivables – average conversion cycle of 32 days (30 June 2014)

from production source to customers/consumers
Sources of income (and market intelligence)
• Arbitrage opportunities – product, time, geography
• Blending strategies – optimising qualities; delivery
of products in line with contractual requirements
• Financing – working capital terms
• Risk management – manage counterparty and
market risk exposure
• Storage/warehousing – access to and having
logistics assets in strategic locations
• Freight – access to fleet, information on trade flows
• Economies of scale on all of the above

Capital centrally funded and allocated
Marketing c.$20bn of capital employed
•working capital average turnover cycle of ~30-35 days
•Quality/nature of asset base (inventories and receivables) allows ~80% to be debt-funded
•Marketing financing is frequently refreshed; average duration of debt facilities versus underlying turn is a highly conservative 20x
•2014 earnings benefit from Viterra and Xstrata
•Guidance range RoE is 40%-65%
Industrial c.$90bn of capital employed
•target of 30-40% debt-funded; or <2.5-3x Net Debt/EBITDA
•target RoE is 20-25% for new capital/projects
•earnings to benefit from ramp-up of Koniambo, Australia Zinc, African copper belt, etc
•portfolio optimisation will also boost returns on equity
33. Expansionary capex geared to the right commodities and opportunities

Forward looking statements
This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward looking statements” which are prospective in nature. These forward looking statements may be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, or the negative thereof such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "continues", "assumes", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "aims", "forecasts", "risks", "intends", "positioned", "predicts", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words or comparable terminology and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", “shall”, "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current predictions, expectations, beliefs, opinions, plans, objectives, goals, intentions and projections about future events, results of operations, prospects, financial condition and discussions of strategy.
By their nature, forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Glencore’s control. Forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may and often do differ materially from actual results. Important factors that could cause these uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Principal risks and uncertainties” of Glencore’s Annual Report 2013 and “Risks and uncertainties” in Glencore’s 2014 Half-Year Report.
Neither Glencore nor any of its associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this document will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which only speak as of the date of this document. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations (including under the UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Listing Requirements of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited), Glencore is not under any obligation and Glencore and its affiliates expressly disclaim any intention, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This document shall not, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the business or affairs of Glencore since the date of this document or that the information contained herein is correct as at any time subsequent to its date.

126. World zinc metal consumption 2012A – 2019F
•Consumption growth in 2012-2014 has been c.3.7% y-o-y
•2014 is expected to be in a deficit of 260-270kt
•Stocks (LME + SHFE and bonded warehouse in China) have declined for each of the last 12 consecutive quarters
•This translates to incremental metal demand of 550-600kt of zinc metal per year

•Approximately additional 3Mt of zinc in concentrates is needed in the next 5 years to meet forecast metal demand (and balance the current c.260-270kt metal deficit)
•Non-Chinese mine production is forecast to add a net 600-650kt of zinc in concentrates over 2015-2019
•Non-Chinese monthly zinc mine production will start declining in Q3 2015 and flatten afterwards
•Closure of Century and Lisheen mines is expected to remove ~600kt of zinc contained per year
•The market can only be balanced by higher Chinese mine production, further drawdowns from metal stocks and/or yet to be approved mine projects

154. Sufficient power is now available to support production
•At full nominal smelting rates, the site will demand 215MW of net power, the equivalent of all power consumed on the island of New Caledonia. The site is designed to have a total installed capacity of 404MW (including auxiliary sources)
•2 x STG (135MW x 2), 2 x CTG (52MW x 2), Enercal (30MW) and temporary diesel turbines (3 x 20MW)
•During commissioning of the steam fired power station in late 2013, significant cracking was identified in boiler tube welds in the heat exchange section of the waste heat boilers. The piping has required remanufacturing
•Boiler tube replacement and installation schedule is on track for both units to be operational at full capacity in Q2 2015

LME Ni inventory and price
Nickel market balance (kt)
•LME nickel price rallied to $21,200/t in May, up 52% from the start of the year. Prices subsequently settled in an $18,000-$20,000/t range, then declined rapidly from Sep, along with commodities in general. Market recently recovered most Sep/Oct losses
•The increase in price was primarily driven by the Indonesian ban on nickel ore exports and the anticipation of reduced nickel output
•Yet, continuous increases in LME inventory, Chinese metal exports, higher Philippine ore exports, macro- economic downgrades and liquidity issues in China have all impacted sentiment and nickel prices

158. Nickel pig iron output supported by high grade ore stocks
158
Quarterly nickel pig iron production (kt)
High and Mid grade Chinese nickel ore inventory (kt)
•Significant stockpiles of Indonesian high grade ore (>1.8% Ni) were built in China prior to the export ban (27Mt HG/MG ore)
•These stockpiles, blended with Philippine ore, have supported continued high levels of Chinese nickel pig iron (NPI) production in 2014 (c.480Kt Ni) albeit with production decreasing Q on Q
•Estimated at over 20Mt at the start of the year, stockpiles of high grade ore in China are currently below 10Mt and trending towards critical levels
•Philippine shipments will decrease in the coming months due to the monsoon season. Shipments will not pick back up materially until April when Surigao area exports resume
•HG stocks will be at critical levels by April 2015 and seasonality will become a major factor going forward

159. Philippine ore supplies determine Chinese NPI outlook
159
Philippine ore exports to China (Mt)
Chinese nickel pig iron production (kt)
•With the Indonesian ban on ore exports sustained (also confirmed by recent Constitutional Court ruling), Chinese inventory of Indonesian high grade ore will ultimately deplete and NPI production will depend on ore exports from the Philippines
•2014 Philippine exports to China are forecast at c.52Mt wet ore and constitute LG >50%, MG >30% with the balance HG. Lower average grade ores increase NPI production costs, all things being equal
•No game changers elsewhere: New Caledonia may supply 1-2Mtpa additional ore to market while Guatemala may supply up to 30kt Ni contained in higher grade ore to European FeNi plants
•Based on our projection of volume and composition of Philippine ore supply, China’s NPI production is forecast to fall from 480kt Ni in 2014 to 400kt Ni in 20151 and 350- 400kt Ni over the outlook period

Supply outlook – limited growth amid ore ban
160
•Global nickel supply in 2014 is forecast to be relatively unchanged on 2013 as decreased output from existing producers and Chinese NPI is offset by increased production from new projects
•Longer term, Chinese NPI production is forecast at 350-400kt vs. 510kt in 2013. However, increased supply from new projects (all going well) should offset projected losses and overall supply growth is forecast at c.1% p.a. to 2019
•China’s NPI dependence on lower grade ore from the Philippines will increase production costs
•Ramp up performances highlight the need for a cautious outlook, with the majority of new projects delayed due to technical, environmental, permitting and social challenges
•We assume limited growth in actual Indonesian NPI output. While capacity will be built in a higher price environment, the extent and pace of commissioning is likely to be challenged for a variety of reasons
•We forecast less than 100kt Ni in Indonesian NPI by 2019

161. Demand outlook – solid growth in key markets
161
•“While the days of double-digit growth in China are over, the greater size of the economy means lower growth still translates into strong absolute demand… It’s slower not lower.” Julian Kettle, Wood Mackenzie
•Primary nickel demand in stainless steel is projected to increase c.5% in 2014, reflecting growth in China, North America, Japan and India. Longer term, we forecast global nickel demand in stainless to increase at a rate >4.5% p.a., predominantly driven by China (Global CAGR 2008-2013: 9.6% p.a.)
•Activity in non-stainless applications is also robust with nickel usage projected to increase >8% in 2014. Going forward, non-stainless demand growth is forecast >4% p.a., with strong contributions from China, US and India
•Overall, we project solid nickel demand growth of c.4.5% p.a. between 2014 and 2019 (CAGR 2008-2013: 7.1% p.a.)
•Put simply, we conservatively expect demand will increase by 75-100Kt Ni per year

162. Expanding deficits to emerge
162
•Assuming the Indonesian ban on ore exports is sustained, market deficits will emerge
•Increased supply from new projects (all going well) supports global production growth of c.1% p.a. to 2019
•With nickel demand growth projected at a conservative c.4.5% p.a., the market is expected to transition to deficit, with substantial deficits forecast from 2018
•Long run nickel pricing will largely be determined by the cost of bringing on marginal (low grade) limonite ore processing capacity
•We do not see any new low cost technologies that will alter the outlook
