Pricing<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Prices of marble will vary considerably by type of stone, as well as for the appearance of the same kind of stone.<br />

Processing of marble into polished slabs can substantially increase value.<br />

Firm pricing is unavailable until wholesalers can verify large samples, and processing operations to confirm reliability of<br />

the resource<br />

The table below sets out the directors‟ understanding of available pricing, based upon the best independent data<br />

available to the company at this time<br />

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed<br />

mostly of calcium carbonate, most<br />

commonly calcite or dolomite<br />

Coloured marble includes swirls/veins<br />

usually due to mineral impurities (e.g.<br />

clay, silt, sand, iron oxides or chert)<br />

Selection is a function of aesthetics attached<br />

with the particular purpose and end use<br />

Stones are graded colour, pattern and grain<br />

size<br />

Rarity value will have an impact on price<br />

Market Analysis<br />

• World dimension stone production was estimated<br />

at 105 million tons in 2009 and 111.5 million tons<br />

in 2010<br />

• The top five producing countries in 2010 were<br />

China, India, Turkey, Italy, and Iran<br />

• Fragmented industry due to large number of<br />

privately owned producers<br />

• Worldwide resources of dimensional stone are<br />

sufficient; however resources can be limited on a<br />

local or regional level due to the lack of a<br />

particular kind of stone<br />

Market Analysis<br />

• The driving force in the sector is international trade<br />

• Total value of dimensional stone international trade in 2009<br />

was $14 billion<br />

• In the last 15 years, shipping of marble has nearly tripled<br />

with an average growth rate of 8.1%<br />

Source: Data from XXI World Marble and Stones Report 2010 by Carlo C. Montani<br />

• The largest exporter of processed stone product, is China<br />

which exported 9.5 million metric tons in 2009, primarily to<br />

South Korea (24%), Japan (12%) and the US (5%)<br />

• In Europe, the largest exporter is Italy (1.4 million tons)<br />

whose major markets lie in Germany (11%), Saudi Arabia<br />

(9%) and the US (10%)<br />

Demand for Marble<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Global demand is divided into sale of processed<br />

marble slabs and raw marble blocks<br />

China is the largest importer of raw marble and<br />

travertine with over 64% of the global trade<br />

fuelled by growth in construction<br />

Italy is the second largest importer of raw marble<br />

and travertine, which it processes into finished<br />

product for resale to the global market<br />

The market for processed stone is far broader<br />

than that for raw material; USA is the largest<br />

importer, importing 3 million tons (15%) of<br />

processed stone in 2010<br />

The 7 largest European markets imported 2.7<br />

million tons in 2010, with Germany and Belgium<br />

leading consumption in Europe<br />

<br />

Saudi Arabia represents a significant market for<br />

high quality processed marble from Italy, Portugal<br />

and Turkey<br />
