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 />
