In 2005 Alfa Bank registered a Global Repackaging Program in a total amount
of $10 bln that can be realized to professional market participants. Within the
framework of the above Program, a new structure called Emerging Markets
Structured Products B.V. (EMSP B.V.) was founded under Netherlands
jurisdiction. EMSP B.V. is run by an independent international management
company TMF and acts as an Issuer of the RMK Credit Linked Notes. An
Issuer is legally and economically independent from a Borrower and a Lead
Manager.
EMSP B.V. provides a loan to the Borrower – Russian Copper Company
Limited (RCC), the parent company of the Group RMK. The Issuer issues
notes, the parameters of which coincide with the relative parameters of the
raised loan. The CLNs are served in the same manner as RCC serves the
above loan. Major Russian and Kazakh companies of the Group are
guarantors of the loan. The list of guarantors comprises one of the biggest
Russian producers of cathode copper – OJSC Russkaya Mednaya
Kompaniya, the biggest mining asset of the Group; CJSC Ormet, one of the
biggest processors of the Group; CJSC Novgorodsky Metallurgichesky Zavod;
and LLP Aktubinskaya Mednaya Kompaniya, which mines a unique field – the
ore mine “50 Years of October”.
In case of default, the Issuer assigns the loan to the Trust company (JP
Morgan Trustee). The Trust company triggers the procedure of debt collection
for the Issuer and the Guarantors.
The international legal company Lovells is responsible for preparation of the
legal documents, including legal opinion on the CLN issue.

CLN placement will
increase the Group’s
leverage by no more
than $25 mln
The Credit Agreement that is signed between a Borrower and an Issuer under
a CLN issue stipulates a number of financial and management restrictions to
avoid a decline of the Group’s financial stability indicators:
1) restriction on the maximum level of holding leverage;
2) restriction on the minimal level of Group shareholder’s equity;
3) restriction on the sale/resale of assets;
4) restriction on Borrower’s investments besides those which are important
for maintaining and developing primary activities;
5) restriction on merger, reorganization and etc. besides those which were
stated in advance.
Not less than 40% of raised funds will be used for refinancing of existing loan
portfolio of the Group. Another part will be spent on opening new workshops
and finishing the construction of processing plant at “50 Years of October” and
on modernization of metallurgic production at CJSC Karabashmed.
Implementation of the investment program will result in the possibility to bring
in the production the new minefield and the processing plant with the output to
44,000 tones of copper in copper concentrate in 2006. This CLN issuer will
also afford to increase the production of black copper under a new technology
at CJSC “Karabashmed” to 90,000 tons per year and the production of refining
copper to 50,000 tons (margin revenue is about $100 mln and margin profit is
$25-27 mln).

Investments
On September 21, 2005 Russkaya Mednaya Kompaniya began operating the
first Russian copper crop facility on the basis of Gumeshevskoe minefield,
where the technology of subsurface ore leaching is applied. Total investments
in the project amounted to $18.5 mln.
The newly created
production complex will
allow RMK to use small
and poor ore minefields
that have yet to be
regarded as potential
sources of raw materials
Investments in scientific research, development and adaptation of the unique
mining technology to the local environment exceeded $3.5 mln. Specialists of
CJSC Uralhydromed together with SNC-Lavalin Europe Ltd (Great Britain)
took part in development of the pilot production. Engineering and construction
of the project was executed by Outokumpo Technology Oy (Finland).
Construction of the solvent extraction and other required facilities cost about
$15 mln. First-stage production capacity of the newly created complex
(including hydro-technological ground and solvent extraction facilities) is about
5,000 tons of copper cathodes. The industrial rollout of the second stage of
the hydro-technological ground will double output by 2006. Subsurface basic
crop processes and the absence of human labor make this technology very
attractive, as it allows to increase efficiency. Such a technology is the latest
development in world hydro-metallurgy, and most European companies have
recently started its implementation. RMK is the first company to have
launched this technology in Russia (at Uralhydromed).
Domestic and foreign experts consider the project to be ecologically safe.
A second workshop
for electrolytic
processes will start
operating at KMZ by
the end of 2005
By the end of 2005 a second workshop for electrolytic processes will start
operating at Kyshtymsky Medeelektrolitny Zavod (KMEZ). Its production
capacity is 40,000 tons of cathode copper annually. As a result, general
production capacity of the factory will rise to 122,000 tons of cathode copper
annually vs. a current 82,000 tons. CJSC RMK has invested more than $20
mln in the project. The newly established workshop will reach the calculated
capacity in 2Q06. The key supplier of black copper for CJSC KMZ remains
Karabashmed.
Major investment is planned to be made in 2005, with 23% of the total amount
to be spent in 2006-2007.

RMK plans and purposes of fund raising
RMK intends to increase its share of the Russian market for cathode copper
from 14% to 20% in order to take control over a number of minefields (RMK
plans to take part in the tender for Udokan) and in 3-4 years conduct an IPO.
In October 2005 RMK raised a 4-year, $100 mln syndicated loan at
LIBOR+4.8%. The loan was organized by Moscow International Bank (MMB),
Bayerische Hypo und Vereinsbank AG (HVB) and BCEN-Eurobank.
RMK intends to use the loan for material resources development and
improvement of the credit portfolio structure. RMK estimates the refinancing
effect at $3 mln on an annual basis. Modernization is expected to result in
growth of pure copper output from current 116,000 tons to 200,000 tons in
2006.
RMK is considering two primary directions of modernization:
1. Raw materials development:
One of the primary and promising areas of RMK’s development is material
resources expansion. By the end of 2005 the new copper sulphide minefield
named “50 Years of October” will become operational in Western Kazakhstan
(investigated copper stocks total about 900,000 tons). After starting up the
mining and concentration complex in Kazakhstan, the share of inventories on
RMK’s balance sheet will rise from 30% to 70%. Mineral resource expansion
will allow RMK to increase production of copper from a current 116,000 tons
annually to 200,000 tons in 2006 and respectively to boost the Group’s market
share from 14% to 20%.
The Group also plans to implement an aggressive strategy in the area of
merging primary and processing copper facilities.
2. Metallurgy complex development
-
CJSC Karabashmed
The end of reconstruction at CJSC Karabashmed and the start-up of the
concentration complex are expected in 2006. More than $2 bln was spent for
these purposes in 2003-2004 alone. A modern melting furnace Ausmelt Ltd
(Australia) is currently in the process of installation, and its start-up is planned
for the first quarter of 2006. With the end of reconstruction, Karabashmed
integrated plant will become the most modern and cleanest metallurgy
production facility in Russia.
Russian Copper Company

-
CJSC Kyshtymsky Medeelektrolitny Zavod
The start-up of second priority of electrolysis at Kyshtymsky Medeelektrolitny
Zavod is planned in December. This will allow an increase in output of
cathodes from 80,000 tons to 120,000 tons.
Moreover, in 2-3 years the Company plans to purchase new minefields in
Russia and Kazakhstan for the purpose of enhancing the output of copper
concentrate in 2006 to 140,000 tons. In 2009 the Group will also start up a
new ore mine at Chebachye minefield.
According to RMK’s estimates, in the near future there will be a shortage on
the copper market, and as a result copper companies should manage to
recover capital investment costs.

In 2004 the assets of CJSC Ormet rose by 1.7 times, and for 9M05 by more
than by 1.5 times. Current and fixed assets have approximately equal shares
on the balance sheet. Shareholders equity demonstrates a positive dynamic,
14
Russian Copper Company
primarily due to the capitalization of retained earnings (R310 mln in 2004 and
R612.8 mln for 9M05).
Long-term liabilities amounting to 56.13% of the total comprise the majority of
the raised funds. In the past the major part of the liabilities was short-term.
The change in the balance sheet structure stems from optimization of the debt
portfolio in favor of long-term liabilities.

Copper Market Overview
Global copper market dynamics
Copper is a financial instrument with high liquidity and is included in the
calculation of major commodity indices. Most of the contracts are negotiated
on futures markets in the US (COMEX) and the UK (LME).
The situation on the copper market is currently quite favorable. For the past
three years the catalyst for the global increase in prices has been a deficit of
copper alongside high demand from major consumers. At the beginning of
2002 the price of copper stood at $1,446 p/t. In 2003 and 2004 the price of
copper rose 38% and 42%, respectively. Since the beginning of the 2005 the
copper price is up another 27%, including a rise of 10% during the summer
months. In addition to global factors, speculation connected with the decline in
exchange stocks also contributed to the summer rally in copper prices.
On October 1, 2005 copper prices reached a 12-year high ($4,271 p/t) on the
Shanghai Stock Exchange. By the end of September the correction in stock
volumes had ended, which pushed down copper prices to a level of $3,500
p/t. Nevertheless, prices continued to test new highs. On October 20, 2005 the
price reached a new all-time high, breaking through $4,000 p/t and testing the
$4,500 p/t mark during one trading session.

Current situation on copper markets
In 2004 world copper consumption posted annual growth of around 6.3% (to
16,625 thousand tons). Asia remains the major consumer of copper, primarily
due to increasing demand for copper concentrate in China, the world’s largest
copper importer. For the past ten years, demand for copper in China has
shown sustained 18% growth annually. In 2004 demand reached 4.1 mln tons,
or one-third of world copper consumption. According to forecasts, the copper
deficit in the global market will break the 1.05 mln ton mark by 2010.
In 2004 copper consumption was at a level of 17,818 thousand tons. GFMS
Metals Consulting expects a further positive dynamic in copper consumption
in 2005-2006. By its estimate, growth in 2005 will amount to 4.2% and in 2006
will total 6.2%. In 2004 South-East Asia accounted for the main growth in
copper consumption, led by Taiwan (+11.4%), China (+3.6%) and South
Korea (+3.0%).
The rise in prices for copper concentrate has stimulated producers to
accelerate production. At the same time, growing demand in the major copper
consuming regions, especially China (+10-12%) and India (+6-7%), will
compensate for increasing copper supply in the medium term, while
maintaining a deficit in 2005-2006.
Market segmentation: Key players
There are three dominant players in the Russian copper market – OJSC GMK
Norilsk Nickel, CJSC UGMK and Russkaya Mednaya Kompaniya.
In 2004 world cathode copper output totaled 16 mln tons, including 925,000
tons in Russia (according to International Copper Study Group data). The
percentage distribution is the following: 447,000 tons (48.3%) from GMK
Norilsk Nickel, 342,000 tons (37%) from UGMK and 116,000 tons (14.7%)
