High Quality and Value Product<br />
• <strong>Northland</strong>’s Kaunisvaara magnetite pellet feed has<br />
high quality and high Fe-content<br />
• Kaunisvaara pellet feed offers great Value-in-Use<br />
• Magnetite generates heat during oxidation, which reduce<br />
pellet plant energy consumption<br />
• Very fine particle size makes it already ground for<br />
pelletizing, saving costs and energy;<br />
• Low silica and alumina content lead to lower flux<br />
additions and lower energy consumption<br />
• High MgO content replaces other fluxes<br />
• Very low levels of trace elements, e.g, K, Na,<br />
P and V bring advantages to the steel producers<br />
• Low moisture, high Fe content and favourable port<br />
location gives shipping advantage<br />
• Shipowners charge rate per wet metric tonnes but iron<br />
ore customers evaluate cost per Fe Unit delivered<br />

Global Iron Ore Supply<br />
• Currently supply barely meets demand<br />
• Continued very tight supply over the next few years<br />
• ”Swing producers” in China operating at 120–140 USD/tonne<br />
(62% Fe equivalent)<br />
• Large expansion projects primarily in Australia, South America and Africa<br />
of which the “Big three” (Vale, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto) plus FMG account<br />
for the lion’s share of completed projects<br />
• Great difficulties to meet project timelines due to environmental permitting<br />
issues (Brazil), bottlenecks in logistics solutions (globally) and political<br />
instability (West Africa)<br />
• Exports from India to diminish due to high costs and increasing domestic<br />
demand<br />
