Dollars per Pound

Integrated cash cost is $0.66 for Q2-10;

normalizing Q1-10 for smelter volume and

alumina ramp up, YTD cost is $0.67

Strong Q2-10 demand in key primary aluminum

product groups. Billet and rod up 40% and 7%

against Q2-09. Billet and rod shipments up 21%

and 22% against Q1-10

CORE initiatives and favorable input prices offset

bauxite shipping delays, alumina ramp-up, and

legal costs related to power case

Fabrication margin was $14.5 million

YTD 2010 fabrication margin ahead of YTD 2009

by nearly $16 million

Q2-10 fabrication margin was $0.15 per pound

driven by greater leverage on fixed costs because

of exceptional throughput and by CORE results

CORE generated savings through purchasing

efficiency, labor efficiency and labor cost reduction

Noranda is well positioned to take advantage of a recovery in Aluminum prices

Market Fundamentals –

Medium to Long Term

Global demand for aluminum is expected to

continue to increase…

Aluminum’s consensus estimated sustainable

price is meaningfully above current prices…

We hold a positive outlook for Aluminum’s fundamentals

over the medium and long-term, based on two views:

Amplified Growth

Globally, substitution trends favor aluminum

China historically has produced at or near its aluminum consumption

—

China has imposed severe export taxes on aluminum; exports are highly unlikely

—

CRU forecasts China being net importers of aluminum in the medium term

—

Power is a key production constraint for China

The integration of our Upstream Business is the lynchpin to

our strategy and sustainability

–

Significant Operating Leverage to LME

•

Integration provides for a more “fixed”

cost base

relative to non-integrated producers whose margins

may be eroded by rising input costs that are correlated

to LME

•

Third party sales of excess raw materials (e.g., bauxite

and alumina) enhance our leverage to LME

–

Secure Supply

•

For our smelter and refinery, we have the ability to

provide over 100% of our needs of alumina and bauxite

–

Low Cost & Operating Flexibility

•

Expanded portfolio of opportunities to drive cost out

and increase productivity and sales

Our strategy is founded on integrated production, cost independence from the LME, growth & productivity
