According to the Russian government's strategic development program, consumption of steel products in Russia is expected to increase 53% by 2015. Crude steel production in 2006 was over 70 million metric tons and is expected to continue growing at an average annual rate of 3.7%. By 2015, electric arc furnace steel production is forecasted to increase to 25 million metric tons. Russia's main steel exports are slabs and billets which make up about 50% of semifinished steel product exports. By 2015, continuous casting in Russia is projected to exceed 90% of total steel production.

3. Russia steel production
Crude steel production in Russia in 2006 was over 70 mln mt. Since 2002 average growth
rate of Russian steel production is 3.7%.
EAF production in 2007 will reach 19 mln. Mt. According to the forecast of the Russian
Government EAF steel production is expected to increase to 25 mln. Mt. by 2015.

5. Russian steel product shipments
In 2006 Russia produced 58 mln. mt. of finished steel products. 49% were exported.
According to optimistic scenario of the Government forecast In 2015 production of finished
steel products is expected to reach 76 mln. Mt. Export tonnage will drop by 2 M t. but its
share in total output will change from 50% to 35%. The share of semis in export will also
decrease.

7. Steelmaking raw materials
structure
Due to increase of steel production and changes in steel production technology structure
(BOF, EAF, OH) the demand for steel making raw materials in Russia will raise. It should be
mentioned that scrap collection in Russia during the last 15 years was higher than
consumption of steel products.

9. Russian scrap resources
Due to changes in Russian steel industry the structure of scrap origin by source will
change. Certain increase in industrial scrap will not compensate decrease of home scrap
generation and obsolete scrap collection.

After a relatively long period of stagnation DRI/HBI production now is booming. During the
next 4 years global HBI/DRI production will grow by 60%. Only relatively small amount of
additional material will be supplied to the market. The most part will be used for
steelmaking on the spot.
