3/20Annual Report 2012p3

Industry Associations play a

key role in helping the Industry

meet its objectives, particularly

in a turbulent and challenging

business environment. To this

end, IZA runs a lean organization

with an unerring focus on

providing demonstrable value.

It does so with the energy andcommitment of a respected and

experienced staff, an excellent

network and, equally important,

strong Member and stakeholder

support for our initiatives.

As an advocate for the zinc

industry, IZA provides an

understanding of the essential

role of zinc to modern society.IZA also provides a platform

for the industry to stay abreast

of and respond to - a fast

moving regulatory environment,

liaising closely with Members,

governments and other partners.

This Annual Report provides

the record of another busy and

productive year. Significantprogress was made on many

fronts, especially with respect to

the Zinc Nutrient Initiative and

Zinc Saves Kids, both of which

are discussed in more detail

beginning on page 6. The fact

that Zinc - and our Industry and

its Members can be associated

with health and agriculture is a

real benefit. It is as a result of

the direct efforts of IZA and its

members that zinc is becoming

recognized as tackling two

global sustainability challenges

childrens nutrition and food

security key components of oursustainability efforts.

Looking ahead, IZA is well

positioned to capitalize on the

opportunities for additional zinc

growth in China, India, and Brazil,

as well as from global programs

such as zinc in fertilizers

and continuously galvanized

reinforced steel.

Together, we are all making a

difference our actions have led

to real impact. As we celebrate

the achievements of our collective

efforts in 2012, let me say thank

you to my fellow Board Members,

the Executive Committee, IZA staff

and committee representatives.

We have an exciting work

program planned for 2013 and, on

behalf of IZA, I seek your ongoing

support.

Chairmans Letter

Andrew Michelmore

Chairman, IZA



IZA has made significant progress over the last year.

Our Technology and Market Development team has developed several global

programs such as zinc fertilizers, galvanized rebar, diecasting and automotive, all of

which have significant tonnage potential and have made big strides in 2012. Country

plans for China, India and Brazil, areas with significant zinc growth potential, areshowing very positive results.

Our Environment and Sustainable Development team has successfully addressed

global regulatory challenges affecting zinc markets, while adding significantly to

the science on zincs environmental performance. The role of zinc in human health,

including Zinc Saves Kids and the Mining Compact as part of the new United Nations

initiative Every Woman, Every Child has been widely promoted and benefits to the

industry have accrued.

Our Communications team has refreshed www.zinc.org. Newsletters, new

publications, an enhanced media profile and high-quality international conferences

and events tailored to the needs of our members have been well-received.

IZAs goalis to help our Members by developing and

maintaining sustainable, long-term markets for zinc. We

do that through market development, environmental

sustainabilityand communication.

Executive Director, IZA



Zinc Health and NutritionWorldwide, 2 billionpeople receive insufficient zinc in their diets. UNICEF estimates

450,000 children under the age of five die each year due to zinc deficiency. Two of the

most prevalent, life-endangering illnesses, diarrhea and pneumonia, can be preventedwith zinc and oral rehydration solutions and antibiotics.

Every Woman, Every Child

The Compact is working on behalf of the Commission on Life-Saving Commodities For Women and Children,

which is organized by the United Nations and UNICEF, and will give access to essential health supplies and

technologies, such as zinc, that will prevent premature deaths of children under five and women of child-

bearing age. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, who is leading this new effort said, The commission will

tackle an overlooked but vital aspect of health systems and ensure that women and children are protected

from preventable causes of death and disease. The commission is an extension of the UNs Every Woman

Every Child movement to support achievement of the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

UNICEF and the Zinc Saves Kids Initiative

During the past three years, IZA has funded UNICEFs zinc supplementation and treatment programs in Peru and Nepal

through its Zinc Saves Kids program. Tens of thousands of children with severe diarrhea have received life saving zinc and ORS

treatments and over 200,000 children are now receiving zinc and micronutrient supplements, which contribute significantly

to reducing the number of children suffering from stunted growth and impaired brain development. Over 10,000 health

professionals, community agents and volunteers have been trained in zinc. In Peru, Zinc Saves Kids was responsible for the

Ministry of Health to incorporate zinc supplementation for diarrhea treatment in the clinical guidelines for child healthcare andmake MNP supplementation a top priority with the goal of going towards zero malnutrition in 2016.

This effort has provided a very positive image for the Zinc Industry and was critical in helping IZA rank second out of seven

associations in an independent evaluation on Sustainability. Proactive efforts such as presenting to governments have had

very positive impact. Articles on zinc and health have been on the rise significantly and there has been a huge increase in the

number of visitors to the Zinc and Health section of the www.zinc.org website.

Mining Compact for Child Health

In addition to UNICEF, IZA has played a key role in establishing the Mining Compact for Child Health, which will support a new

global public/private sector partnership to end child pneumonia and diarrheal deaths in high burden countries. Members of the

Compact include IZA, the MDG Health Alliance, USAID, the UN Foundation and the Zinc Alliance for Child Health. IZA has been

working with Member companies and other mining and metals companies to facilitate health programs in these high burden

countries. IZA and the Zinc Industry was publicly recognized in several meetings during United Nations week in New York.



Zinc Nutrient InitiativeBuilding the foundation for a new 500,000 tonne zinc market



Understanding the market

Zinc is one of eight trace elements that plants need for normal

growth and reproduction, and yet 50% of all agricultural soils

worldwide are zinc deficient. Without the proper amount of

zinc, crop productivity and the nutritional value of those crops

are severely limited. IZA launched the Zinc Nutrient Initiative

to increase use of zinc fertilizers.

Demonstration Crop Trials

Crop trials with zinc were conducted in areas with large

rural farming populations and zinc deficient soils, including

India, China, Southeast Asia, Africa, Brazil and Mexico. China

and India alone account for close to 50% of global fertilizer

usage. These trials have all shown marked increase in crop

productivity or zinc concentration in the plant. For example,

experimental wheat crops in India showed yield increase

ranging from 20-50% when zinc was added to NPK fertilizers.

Education & Outreach

Zinc fertilizer training workshops have been held in each of

the target countries. Case studies, technical brochures, fact

sheets, newsletters and web posted information at www.

zinc.org have augmented the education process. Partnerships

with government agencies, the fertilizer industry, and farming

groups have advanced awareness and policies that promote

the use of zinc fertilizers. The program has attracted 25

Affiliate Members, including many of the worlds largest

fertilizer companies, testament to the value and effectiveness

of the ZNI activities.

2012 Milestones

For the first time, Chinas Ministry of Agriculture has included

zinc in their National Recommendation for fertilizers. TheNational Recommendation for zinc fertilizers was also

extended to include summer crops. 300,000 field agents are

presently being trained to implement these recommendations.

The China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC), a

leading investment banking firm, published a forecast of the

zinc fertilizer market in China and globally which exceeds

IZAs market projections. CICC estimated potential range

from a base of 350kt - 500kt for the China zinc market and

potential range of 590kt - 920kt for the global zinc market.

Since the ZNI program started in India, the amount of zincgoing into the fertilizer market has more than doubled (e.g.

increase from 21,000 tpy to 45,000 tpy zinc metal) , based

on projections for 2012 and statistics from the Fertilizer

Association of India.

IZA has signed an MOU with the Brazilian Ministry of

Agriculture to work cooperatively to promote zinc fertilizers

in Brazil.

The World Bank has indicated that they will add zinc fertilizers

to their Haiti program and will look at other regions as well.

IZAs ZNI efforts

are resulting

in widespread

increased use of

zinc fertilizer. Zinc

is at the forefront

for helping solve

two key global

issues: food and

nutritional security.

The Zinc Nutrient Initiative strategy has a strong

focus on India, China and Brazil, countries where

zinc deficiency is a significant issue in both soils

and people and also where the market potentialfor zinc fertilizers is greatest.



Technology & MarketDevelopmentTwo new zinc diecast alloys have been developed through IZA

research that have the potential to add significant tonnes to the

zinc diecasting market.



Zinc Diecasting Alloys

IZA has developed new creep-resistant

and high-fluidity alloys with improved

properties that will enable new marketopportunities for zinc diecastings.

IZA has been addressing high-

priority data gaps in the engineering

properties of key zinc alloys

information required by designers and

specifiers. IZAs extensive engineering

properties database is hosted at www.

zinc.org.

Through seminars and conferences,

IZA promotes the benefits of zinccastings to designers, specifiers and

engineers in Europe, North America

and elsewhere.

Galvanized Rebar

IZA is positioning galvanizing as the

preferred method for protecting rebar

in corrosive environments. A newly

developed in-line galvanizing process

provides major cost savings and abetter quality product. This process also

integrates the galvanizing operation

and product sales into the existing

rebar manufacturing and distribution

channels. With its partners, IZA has

successfully produced quality product

at a pilot line in China.

Discussions are underway with other

potential partners to produce and

further develop this market. Work alsocontinues to add epoxy over the zinc

coating.

Colored Zinc

One of the roles of IZA is to

explore potential new markets and

opportunities. One such opportunity

for growth is to have an inexpensive

and colored galvanized product, such

as green galvanized zinc for street

furniture in parks.

The sol-gel process is a promising

path forward. Work is underway to

develop application techniques that

allow replacing the solvents required

by current technology with greener

alternatives. This process offers costand performance benefits over organic

coatings such as paint. IZA played a

key role in a 1.5 million euro project

being awarded by the EU CRAFT

Program to develop this process.

Sprayed Zinc Coatings

Zinc thermal spraying is used to provide

corrosion protection to steel articles

that cannot be hot-dip galvanized, oftendue to the size of the steel structure.

This process involves passing zinc wire

or powder through an electric arc or

flame sprayer.

Substantial opportunities for growth

are seen in the wind energy and

ship building markets. In 2012,

IZA launched the Thermal Spray

Development Group to conduct market

development activities for windmills.

The group has attracted nine sponsor

companies to date and a proactive

marketing plan could potentially

double this market in these fast

growing areas.

Galvanized Autobody

Partnership (GAP)

GAP is a cooperative platform for the

zinc, steel and automobile industries

to retain and grow the market for

advanced corrosion-resistant sheet

steels in automobiles through

technical innovation. With new

legislation to significantly improve

mileage of autos, this program hasbecome critical in terms of competing

with other materials such as aluminum.

The program focus is to enhance

the performance of galvanized

advanced high strength steels through

process improvements in automotive

galvanizing lines and extending

capabilities of zinc-based coatings.

Eighty percent of the program is

funded by sources outside the zinc

industry, mainly by the worldwide

steel industry. Direct involvement of

these companies in the conception and

direction of programs fosters direct

transfer of results to the automotive

industry. Many advanced vehicle

designs are now making use of GAP

program results, including the newest

models of the Volkswagen Golf and

the Ford Focus. Such designs could

have otherwise have been developedin aluminum or plastic.

The Technology and Market

Development program aims at

growing and retaining the markets

for zinc across a range of zinc

applications and geographical

markets.

Regional Market DevelopmentPrograms

The worlds fastest growing economies, China, South-East Asia,

Latin America and India offer tremendous growth opportunities,

especially for galvanized sheet for infrastructure, automotive, zinc

coated rebar, and diecasting.



China

IZA has been instrumental in

advancing the development of a

duplex coating system zinc and

epoxy which is of particular interest

to the Ministry of Railways. Galfan-

coated rebar has also been developedwhich will add significantly to the

rebar market potential in China and

globally.

Three major Chinese steel companies

have joined IZAs GAP program and

have agreed to carry out a joint effort

to develop the market for galvanized

steel for automotive applications.

The first step has been to improve

the quality of the galvanized sheet.

Presently less than 20% of the steel

in Chinese cars is galvanized, as

compared to over 80% in other parts of

the world.

IZA, the Hong Kong Constructional

Metal Structures Association and the

Macao Society for Metal Structures

agreed to carry out joint activities

and technical collaboration with the

China Steel Construction Society and

China Metal Structures Association.This arrangement will enable IZA to

promote hot-dip galvanizing as a key

form of corrosion protection for steel

structures.

In 2012, IZA successfully organized a

Zinc Technology Week highlighting

the latest technology on smelting and

refining and general galvanizing. The

two three-day sessions attracted 180

participants and feedback indicated

that IZA is playing a key role in

technology and marketing transfer and

that efforts should be continued.

Southeast Asia

Infrastructural projects including

power distribution networks,

transportation infrastructure and

building construction provide

substantial growth potential in SE

Asia. To create greater awareness ofbenefits of using hot-dip galvanized

parts for infrastructure, IZA, in

collaboration with local partners, held

technical and marketing seminars

in Thailand and Indonesia targeting

engineers, architects, specifiers and

technical project consultants. Follow-

up work continues.

India

In India IZAs TMD program has made

significant progress in increasing the

markets for hot-dip and continuous

galvanizing as well as diecasting.

In a collaborative effort with the India

Lead Zinc Development Association,

remaining funds from the Interactive

Hot-Dip Galvanizing training tool

originally developed as part of the CFC

project in China, has been transferred

to India to help raise the technical

capabilities of the Indian galvanizers.

IZA provided technical assistance to

local steel sheet producers to raise

their capabilities for producing high-

quality galvanized and galvanneal

sheet for the automotive industry

which offers excellent opportunities

for zinc. IZA was successful in

developing an Indian construction

association, which will help work onincreasing the coating thicknesses for

zinc as well as ensuring specifications

are in favor of galvanized steel.

In diecasting, a Common Fund for

Commodities (CFC) Fast Track

Program was launched and a

Techno Economic Assessment of the

Indian zinc diecasting industry was

undertaken. Four demonstration

plants were chosen for a detailed plant

audit, operations benchmarking andprocess investment recommendations.

An interactive training tool for

diecasters will be developed.

Latin America

In Brazil there is significant demand

for infrastructure development

offering huge market potential

for general galvanizing. Seminars

geared at general galvanizers andtheir prospective customers; the

development of the galvanized rebar

market in Brazil; and the support

of zinc oxide and zinc diecasting

segments are the major platforms.

As a result of a technical presentation

on potential uses of general galvanized

steel, in both on-shore and off-shore

oil and gas applications, Petrobras, one

of the worlds major oil companies,

will conduct a trial project using

galvanized steel. IZA collaborated

with the Brazilian non-ferrous metals

institute ICZ and the major Brazilian

galvanizers on this effort.

In Mexico, IZA, with the Mexican

Galvanizers Association successfully

presented the case for using

galvanized structural steel to state-

owned petroleum company Pemex.

In Colombia, with the Industrys

National Association, IZA highlighted

the benefits of galvanized coatings for

protecting steel from corrosion at a

number of seminars.

IZA is raising the awareness of the

benefits and the use of zinc coatings

and castings. IZAs expertise in

end-use markets and results from

IZAs global programs such as GAP

and galvanized rebar are being

transferred to these regions.



Environment andSustainable Development

Supporting sustainable zinc markets through environmental

sustainability and resource efficiency



Sustainable Development

In 2012 IZA released a new Guiding Principle on

Childrens Rights committing to uphold key principles

to ensure the safety and well-being of children. IZA

also assisted the Steel Framing Alliance (SFA) in

drafting a critical review of an LCA comparing wood

and galvanized building materials. Finally, through Five

Winds/PE, IZA monitored key LCA platforms for risks

and opportunities.

Recycling

IZAs recycling program is ensuring that the zinc

industry has reliable recycling data and statistics

in response to government requests and in support

of its sustainability messaging. The major tasks

include: monitoring and addressing relevant policies,

initiatives and directives; communicating with resource

management stakeholders; and collecting data on

consumption and use.

In 2012, IZA participated in an effort conducted by Yale

University to collect global consumption and use data

on zinc and other materials for its recycling model.

The study, which collected data from 50 countries,

showed that there has been significant increase in

the end-of-life recycling rate for zinc compared to the

last major review done in 1995. The United Nations

Environment Program has convened a Resource Panel

to review the Criticality of metals. IZA has joined the

Consortium and participated in a workshop at Yale

University where metal experts refined the scientific

methodology for assessing metal Criticality and

identified future demand scenarios for metals. Zinc, on

all counts, scored very well.

IZA released a fact sheet on zinc recycling which

details the zinc recycling circuit, including sources ofrecycled zinc, end uses, methods for assessing recycling

rates, and current recycling statistics

Regulatory Affairs

IZA monitors global and regional regulatory challenges

to zinc and coordinates industry responses. Key

activities included:

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has

revised its convention on marine pollution and the

new marine transport regulations pertaining to

cargo residues which will impact the shipping of zinc

concentrates. IZA is working with the International

Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), to coordinate

industry responses to IMO. IZA has undertaken a

program to ensure the proper classification of zinc

concentrates.

Zinc was under review as a possible priority substance

under the European Water Framework Directive. IZA

made a strong case to the Commission against zincs

prioritization and as a result it was removed from

When a metallic building

product reaches the end of its

life, it can be fully recycled.

Currently, more than 95% of the

metallic products used in build-

ings are collected at end-of-life.

High economic value is the

main driver for this systematic

collection and recycling. As

metal recycling provides energy

savings of between 60% and

95% compared to primary

production, depending on the

metal and the metal-bearingproduct, metal recycling creates

a win-win situation for both the

environment and the economy.

The objective of IZAs Environment and

Sustainable Development program is

to continually assess the sustainability

of zinc and zinc products through

the development of sound scientific

information and to communicate this

information to the key markets and

stakeholders.

CommunicationsProviding the most current information on zinc to Members andstakeholders through user-friendly media.

Website

IZAs website is continually being updated with the

most current developments in the zinc industry. New

in the past year are translated pages in Chinese and

Portuguese in response to the growing number of

affiliates and collaborators in China and Brazil. Also

new are the Recycling and Publications pages.

Media

IZA maintains an ever-expanding network of media

contacts through social channels and the worldwide

web. Keeping up with the latest news regarding

the zinc market has allowed us to keep Members

informed of critical issues as they happen. In addition

to the News sections on www.zinc.org, IZA also tracks

and shares health and crop news through Facebook,

Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Publications

Among the publications released by IZA in 2012

are: an updated Zinc in Fertilizers brochure, Guiding

Principles on Climate Change and Childrens Rights

in the Workplace, and Recycling: Closing the Loop. In

addition to these publications, IZA has released eight

newsletters highlighting current developments in each

of the program areas.

Deliverables & DisplaysIZA offers a variety of materials to Members for

displays in conferences, workshops, and seminars. IZA

has prepared posters, banners, booklets, and other

printed materials which can be used to illustrate

specific zinc applications or collectively to show

the wide range of uses for zinc in industrial design,

everyday products, crop nutrition, and human health.



GalvInfo Center

The GalvInfo Center was created

to provide a support resource for

end users and designer/specifiers

of zinc coated sheet steel. Areas of

expertise include the manufacturing,

performance, design and use of

the product. The GalvInfo Center

knowledge base has been translated

and disseminated globally through

IZAs regional network. As well,

technical seminars occur annually in

North America and China; these will be

held in India and Brazil in 2013.

Zinc Oxide

Research has confirmed ZnOs strong

retarding influence on concrete setting

and IZAs contractors on this project

will be presenting their findings at the

American Concrete Institutes Fall 2012meeting. IZA continues to host the

successful annual International Zinc

Oxide conference.

Anti-Microbial Brass

Alloys

The International Copper

Association (ICA) and IZA have

been working together to increase

brass consumption to the benefit

of both metals. A major focus of

this effort has been to improve the

color stability and appearance of

antimicrobial copper-zinc alloys. A

new family of copper alloys has been

designed, based on initial findings,

with high zinc levels to determine

if color stability can be further

improved. Research has shown that

an alloy containing at least 17%

zinc, with the further addition of

nickel, has the greatest resistance to

darkening under simulated service

Zinc Energy Storage

Zinc as an energy storage material

offers the potential for unmatched

performance, cost, safety and

availability, provided some specific

technical issues are solved, such as

cathode durability and electrical

recharging.

IZA continues to monitor the

electricity storage market

developments. IZA continued its

support of a 3-year program at

National Research Council Canada

to investigate the use of room

temperature ionic liquids to enhancethe performance of zinc-air energy

storage systems. Such a system

would be well suited to the stationary

energy storage market, which is

forecast to grow exponentially in the

coming decades.

IZA submitted a paper on Zinc Energy

to the Journal of Power Sources.

consideration in the Commissions

proposal. IZA monitors this closely,

and continues to advocate the

use of natural background and

bioavailability to assess zinc in

water. This concept is gaining

traction and UK authorities havenow proposed a new tiered water

quality standard for zinc based

on these principles. The EUs

Scientific Committee on Health and

Environmental Risk (SCHER) has

published its opinion on the issue

and fully supports the proposed

standard and tiered approach. This

opinion will be a major reference

in future discussions on standard

setting for zinc in the EU.

IZA successfully coordinated the

revision of the zinc and cadmium

production sections for the non-

ferrous metals BREF (Best

Available Technology Reference)

document developed under the

EUs Industrial Emissions Directive.

The work was done under the

auspices of the European Integrated

Pollution Prevention and Control

(IPPC) Bureau which was establishedto facilitate an exchange of

information between Member States

and industry on the environmental

performance of equipment and

processes. The findings will be used

as guidance to member states when

issuing emission permits.

IZA spent considerable effort in

preparing and submitting technical

documents to the EU on Energy

Trading Schemes (ETS), an initiative

that could mean millions of euros

for European producers. This work

also has implications for other

jurisdictions which is looking to

implement similar schemes.

IZA is also monitoring closely the

new Resource Efficiency programlaunched in Europe. This ties in

closely with the Metal Building

initiative and the recycling program.

Research

IZAs environmental research

program is generating sound

science in support of regulatory,

communication and sustainability

activities. Ongoing research, muchof which is supported by third

parties, addresses industry needs in

soils, sediments and waters.

The Zinc Ecotoxicity program has

developed environmental fate

and effects information to address

regulatory concerns. This programis addressing critical issues for zinc

in waters, sediments, soils and the

atmosphere

The Marine program seeks

to characterize the chemical

interactions between zinc and

dissolved organic matter in

estuarine and marine waters for

use in biotic ligand modeling.

The program is also evaluating

the protective role of salinityand dissolved organic carbon

on accumulation and acute zinc

toxicity.

The development of a flexible

database tool with data filtering

and screening capabilities is nearing

completion. The tool is designed

to estimate site-specific criteria/

standards using methodology

appropriate for Europe, North

America and other regions.
