Highlights

Production in Q2 2008 on target, with increased output of pellets and proportion of higher grade (65% Fe) pellets

Total pellet output in Q2 2008 increased by 2.6% compared to Q1 2008

Production of pellets from own raw materials increased by 1.7% compared to Q1 2008

Selective mining increased rich ore extracted in H1 2008 by 5.4% versus the equivalent period in 2007 and reduced total ore extracted

Extraction of richer ore yielded an additional 2.8% concentrate in the first six months of 2008, and 8% more 65% Fe pellets in the same period

Stripping volumes increased by 12% in H1 2008 compared to H1 2007, underpinning future iron ore production growth

Third party concentrate purchases remained low in Q2 2008 due to market tightness; focus remains on pellet production from own raw materials

Sharp increases in diesel and steel production input prices in line with international commodity price increases have increased costs in H1 2008

Ukrainian PPI cost inflation for the six months to 30 June 2008 amounted to 29.4%

Significant cost pressures partially mitigated by continuing operational efficiency improvements

Average achieved price on a DAF/FOB basis for Q2 2008 rose by 92.6% compared to Q1 2008

Project to expand and extend existing operations continued on schedule and within budget

Viktor Lotous, Chief Operating Officer of Ferrexpo, stated: 

"In the second quarter of 2008, we commissioned several items of new mining equipment which have enabled the Group to step up the extraction of rich ore from our existing mining operations. This growth in rich ore has resulted in an 8% increase in the amount of higher grade 65% Fe pellets produced in the first six months of 2008 enabling us to meet our product quality improvement objectives. At the same time, stripping operations at our GPL expansion project have positively impacted our overall stripping volumes, helping to expose the necessary iron ore for the next phase of production. This project continues to proceed as planned. Although Ukrainian inflation remains high and we have continued to experience sharply rising costs associated with diesel and steel inputs in the second quarter, we are pleased that these cost pressures have been partly mitigated by continuing successes in operational efficiency improvement at our GPL operations."
