1 RUSAL Australia Week, Moscow 11 May 2005 Steven Hodgson Going Global: Australian Perspective

2 2 A Top 3 world aluminium producer 10% of global aluminium output and 75% of Russia’s production $5.4 billion in annual revenues Strong cash flows with over 80% of total revenues coming from international clients A low cost producer due to access to Siberian hydro-power stations, some of which controlled by RUSAL’s shareholders RUSAL Highlights

5 5 RUSAL Regional Presence (2004) RUSAL has strong positions in major regions RUSAL has strong positions in major regions Sales to North America doubled over the last two years Sales to North America doubled over the last two years *Primary aluminium and alloys only ** Due to sale of the rolling business to Alcoa in 2005, RUSAL will increase third party aluminium sales in Russia since 2005 RUSAL’s estimated market share* Regional sales break-down* Source: Brook Hunt, RUSAL Russia** 8% Europe 36% North America 22% Asia 34%

6 6 RUSAL’s Strategy: Aggressive Growth Our strategic objective is to be the world’s largest and most profitable aluminium producer by 2013  Increase primary production to 5 million t/yr  Increase our own production of alumina to 8 million t/yr  Increase the proportion of value-added products at smelters to 50% of total  production  Retain leading positions in terms of cost-competitiveness of primary production and achieve cost leadership in alumina production  RUSAL will be one of the world’s lowest-cost producers  RUSAL will be a preferred employer, for the most talented people  Provide optimum market, customer and technical support in the industries it serves  Develop reliable, long-term business partnerships in the countries and regions where it operates.

7 7 Advantages  RUSAL is a dynamic company with a strong management focus on growth  RUSAL has access to Siberian hydro power plants (low-cost energy supplies at average price <1 cent US/kWh)  RUSAL remains focused on productivity to limit rising costs  RUSAL has developed a loyal client base  RUSAL has a strong technological R&D base Weaknesses  Remoteness of our smelters from our customers and raw materials  Dependence on purchased alumina to supplement internal production  Older technology limits the performance of some smelters  Environmental performance needs to improve Competitive Position in the Global Market

8 8 RUSAL’s Approach: Aluminium Production

9 9  Greenfield projects should account for 81% of the growth  Khakassky shown as the only brownfield – 13% of growth  All smelters should add 4% to capacity through creep  Current plan assumes only 9% of growth outside Russian Federation Profile of Aluminium Growth

10 10 Current Smelter Projects  Construction of Khakas Aluminium Smelter in Russia with the capacity of 350 000 tonnes  Feasibility study for construction of 600 000 tonne smelter in Ikrutsk region, Russia  Plans to construct a 600 000 tonne smelter in Krasnoyarsk region, Russia  Modernisation and expansion of Krasnoyarsk smelter in Russia to 989 000 tonnes  Modernisation and expansion of Sayanogorsk smelter in Russia to 482 000 tonnes  Feasibility study for construction of a new 200 000 tonne aluminium smelter in Tadjikistan

11 11 RUSAL’s Approach: Alumina Production

12 12  Acquisition satisfies strategic position but it only accounts for 16% of planned growth  Brownfields and creep should represent 28% of growth  Greenfields should account for 56% of the growth  77% of the growth is likely to occur outside of the Russian Federation  44% of growth may increase political risk profile RUSAL currently has the necessary portfolio of projects to satisfy its strategic objective for alumina growth Profile of Alumina Growth

13 13 Current Current Alumina Projects  Acquisition of 20% of QAL in Australia and participation in the refinery expansion program  Modernisation and expansion programs on Achinsk Refinery in Russia and Nikolaev Refinery in Ukraine to increase alumina output by 400 000 tonnes  Partnership concluded with SUAL on joint development of Komi Project in Russia to increase alumina production by 700 000 tonnes  Expansion of Friguia refinery in Guinea from 780 000 tonnes to 1,5 mln tonnes under consideration following completion of detailed feasibility study  Preliminary Feasibility study for the construction of a 1.4 million tonne refinery at the Dian-Dian deposit in Guinea has been completed  Plan to bid at a tender to develop a 500 million tonne Aurukun bauxite deposit in Australia  Development of 3 North Onega bauxite deposits in Russia with a possibility to construct 1,4 mln tonne refinery on their base

14 14 Investing in World Class Assets - QAL On 1 April 2005, RUSAL closed on the acquisition of a 20% shareholding in Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) On 1 April 2005, RUSAL closed on the acquisition of a 20% shareholding in Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) - QAL is the largest alumina refinery in the world today, producing 3.85 million tonnes p.a., approximately 10% of the Western World’s production - The refinery is located at Gladstone, Queensland - It is a joint venture company (RUSAL - 20%, Comalco - 38.6%, Alcan - 41.4%) - QAL is independently managed and staffed It is the largest Russian investment into Australia to date It is the largest Russian investment into Australia to date - The RUSAL investment cost US$461 million (US$401 million in cash and US$60 million in assumed debt)

15 15 What the QAL investment means for RUSAL The acquisition of the 20% QAL shareholding significantly increases RUSAL’s alumina supply The acquisition of the 20% QAL shareholding significantly increases RUSAL’s alumina supply - RUSAL’s equity alumina production increases from 3.3 Mt to approximately 4.1Mt (+24%) - RUSAL’s share of QAL production (770Kt) currently meets 15% of RUSAL’s Siberian smelter needs - As part of the acquisition, RUSAL has assumed the previous owner’s alumina sales commitments. These progressively expire and by 2008 all RUSAL’s share of QAL alumina will be shipped to Russia through the Russian Far East QAL has significant expansion potential to over 5Mt p.a. QAL has significant expansion potential to over 5Mt p.a. - The QAL owners will continue to evaluate expansion options for the refinery

16 16 Current RUSAL Project Work in Australia RUSAL has made it public that it intends to have a long term presence in Australia and that it is considering options beyond its current interest in QAL. Aurukun Bauxite Mine Development One option presently being considered is development of the Aurukun Bauxite reserve south of Weipa on Cape York. RUSAL is one of several parties who have registered interest in the reserve which, it is expected, the Queensland Government will allocate to a successful tenderer in the coming 12 months.

17 17 Current RUSAL Project Work in Australia The Aurukun bauxite deposit is significant (est. 200 - 500Mt), but actual reserves evaluation is yet to be released by the Queensland Government The Aurukun bauxite deposit is significant (est. 200 - 500Mt), but actual reserves evaluation is yet to be released by the Queensland Government The Queensland Government will publish a process for allocation of the mining lease, including restrictions on company participation and rules for screening of participants The Queensland Government will publish a process for allocation of the mining lease, including restrictions on company participation and rules for screening of participants All major Aluminium companies have shown interest (including Alcoa, Alcan, Comalco, BHPB), other mining companies (e.g.: Xstrata) as well as several specially formed companies focused on the development of the resource All major Aluminium companies have shown interest (including Alcoa, Alcan, Comalco, BHPB), other mining companies (e.g.: Xstrata) as well as several specially formed companies focused on the development of the resource
