Mobile control systems increase efficiency at
concentrator Integrated system for mine and concentrator
Continuous real-time operational and maintenance data
24/7 off site access through mobile control room
Autonomous machines adds production hours
Ability to mine 24/7
‒ Loading and hauling ore after
and during blasting/ventilation
‒ Continuous long hole drilling
‒ Autonomous transportation
between loading and unloading
~50% more time available for
autonomous activities in the mine
Improved safety

Autonomous loaders – example Garpenberg
Started in 2011
18% of mining currently performed with
autonomous loaders
Target to increase autonomous utilisation
to 80% by 2019
WLAN in vital parts of the mine
‒ Operated from surface 2015

Tara reduced antimony emissions by 50%
Reduced emissions and maintained production
capacity
Low capex & opex solution tailored for Tara
Chemical precipitation of antimony
Fast development and execution phase
‒ Took 16 months from idea to fully-up and running
Preventive maintenance lowers downtime

Focused efforts in exploration
2016-03-16 13 CMD 2016
Strong exploration results in 2015
‒ Increases in mineral reserves at Aitik, Garpenberg and Tara
‒ Two new mineral resources: Nautanen (Aitik) and Rävliden (Boliden Area)
Outokumpu field
‒ Disappointing first year, 2015 – 4 years reserve life in Kylylahti
‒ Increased efforts 2016
Tara
‒ Encouraging results 2015 – 6 years reserve life
‒ Increased efforts 2016

Aitik expansion – what we have said and done
Phase 1: capex 600 MSEK, whereof 200 MSEK spent
Crusher reinforcement done
Water pumping done
Electric sub-station done
New surface crusher not done

Phase 2: capex not announced
New in-pit crusher including conveyor
Water treatment
De-sulphurization
Revised plan for Aitik – focus on availability
New environmental permit Q1 2016
Reserve Cu grade 0.23 (0.22)
Extended reserve life
New crusher set-up
‒ Surface crusher – commissioning 2018
‒ In-pit crusher – decision after 2020
De-sulphurization – after 2020 (if needed)
2016-03-16 16 CMD 2016
Revised production plan
Copper grades
‒ 2016: 0.21
‒ 2017-19: Above reserve grade

New surface crusher to improve reliability
Construction 2016-2017, commissioning 2018
Built in double-crusher
Facilitate maintenance
Capacity 8,000 ton/h
2016-03-16 17 CMD 2016
This plan delivers improved control
Higher availability from the mine
Higher visibility in production, grade and cost
Remaining capex of 1 BSEK (2016-2018)
‒ New surface crusher
‒ Water treatment
