Expansion of e-scrap capacity at Rönnskär Triples Boliden’s e-scrap recycling capacity Boliden 1 03/05/2010 E-scrap expansion in brief Investment rationale Tight Cu concentrate market continues Big increase in e-scrap supply Brief description of investment E-scrap recycling capacity from 45,000 to 120,000 tonnes per year Investment of approx. SEK 1.3 billion Expected start up end of 2011/ beginning of 2012 Increases metal production – Volume of electronic products increasing – Shorter product life cycles Proprietary technology Leading position within e-scrap – Gold +2 tonnes – Silver +32 tonnes – Copper +14,500 tonnes recycling Increased contribution to sustainable development Synergies with existing production – More recycling less land fills – Lower resource usage vs Cu concentrates Boliden – Pay back less than 4 years 2 03/05/2010 E-scrap recycling within EU – legislation will drive e-scrap volumes Existing WEEE*-directive Target to collect 4 kg per person and year 2% 6% 9% 11% WEEE-directive 2016 (not yet decided) Target to collect approx. 13 kg per person and year 20% 32% 19% The average EU citizen’s electronic product purchases currently equate to 24 kg of e-scrap per year =main source of supply *WEEE = Waste from electrical and electronic equipment Boliden 3 03/05/2010 E-scrap smelting vs potential Canada EU25 USA China Japan Australia Electronic scrap potential Electronic scrap treated Land fill /stored Boliden 4 03/05/2010 Boliden’s value chain The smelters use technologies that enable processing of various kinds of raw material – from mined concentrate to e-scrap Exploration Mining Smelting 1 Customers 2 1. Recyclable (secondary) materials accounts for approx. 24% of Rönnskär’s feed 2. ... and e-scrap alone accounts for approx. 6% of the feed After After the the expansion, expansion, e-scrap’s e-scrap’s share share of of Rönnskär’s Rönnskär’s feed feed will will increase increase to to 14%. 14%. Secondary Secondary materials’ materials’ share share as as aa whole whole will will increase increase to to 31% 31% Boliden 5 03/05/2010 The value chain for electrical and electronic waste Collection of e-waste from industry and households Inspection/Cleaning Partition/Fragmentation Plastic Separation Glass * Types of e-scrap – WEEE-scrap (e.g. low-grade circuit boards) – Granules – High grade circuit board scrap – Alloyed scrap with precious metals – Production waste from machinery industry – Telecom scrap Boliden Aluminium Iron E-scrap* BOLIDEN 6 03/05/2010 Rönnskär Stable foundation for increased e-scrap capacity Boliden 7 03/05/2010 Rönnskär in brief Smelting and refining of metals from mined concentrate and secondary materials Top-class environmental performance with lean and efficient production technology Production levels – Copper 230,000 tonnes – Lead 30,000 tonnes – Zinc clinker 40,000 tonnes – Silver 500 tonnes – Gold 15 tonnes – Sulphuric acid 600,000 tonnes – Liquid SO2 50,000 tonnes Boliden 8 03/05/2010 Primary and secondary materials treated at Rönnskär Boliden 9 03/05/2010 More than 30 years of experience in e-scrap smelting and recycling E‐scrap processed at Rönnskär Tonnes 140 000 120 000 100 000 80 000 60 000 40 000 20 000 0 1981 Boliden 1986 1991 1996 10 2001 2006 2011 03/05/2010 Material flow at Rönnskär (schematic) Smelting of Cu concentrate Refining Smelting of e-scrap Copper Gold Silver Lead Zinc clinker Sulphuric acid By-products Energy Synergies in processing copper concentrate and e-scrap Available process capacity facilitates increased e-scrap volumes Boliden 11 03/05/2010 Description of investment Boliden 12 03/05/2010 The existing Kaldo plant In operation since 1976 Smelting e-scrap since 1980 Flexible unit Alternate smelting of e-scrap and lead concentrate Top environmental performance Continuous technology development Capacity – 45,000 tonnes per year Boliden 13 03/05/2010 The new Kaldo plant Kaldo furnace Steam boiler Gas purification Materials handling Indoor storage close to Kaldo plant Capacity – 75,000 tonnes per year Boliden 14 03/05/2010 Location and logistics Complies with disposition plan Coordinated logistics for all raw materials Proximity to existing Kaldo plant enables existing storage to be utilised, and operator and vehicular coordination Boliden 15 03/05/2010 Environmental aspects Social benefits Returning valuable metals to the eco-cycle, rather than sending them to landfill Recycling metals uses less energy than refining mined concentrate Rönnskär Increased energy recycling Reduced diffuse dust Reduced internal transports Increased total CO2 emissions Boliden 16 05/05/2010 03/05/2010 03/05/2010 Why expand e-scrap processing at Rönnskär? Well-known and proven technology Experienced personnel Best available technology for the environment, health and safety Adapts Rönnskär’s production in line with tomorrow’s raw materials market Well-established market network Efficient logistics with own harbour and a train shuttle Boliden 17 03/05/2010 05/05/2010 03/05/2010 Competitors Europe – Aurubis, Hamburg – Aurubis, Lünen – Umicore, Hoboken Boliden Rest of the world – Xstrata, Canada – Dowa, Japan Aurubis, Hamburg Umicore, Hoboken Aurubis, Lünen Biggest “competitors” – Exports to China and Africa – Waste deposit instead of recycling Boliden 18 03/05/2010
