UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT Q3 2011 UPDATE Excellent progress on underground development. Orebody accessed and first level commenced. Raise boring of ventilation underway, paste fill commenced. On track for first ore to be produced from stoping by Q1 2012. Full mining rates (1.2Mtpa) by Q3 2012. Contributes 25,000t copper and 12,000oz gold per annum. Will enable production of 100,000t to 110,000t copper to be maintained. Pre-production capital increased to $148 million (<10% increase) due mainly to higher mining costs and extra plant requirements. OZ MINERALS PAGE 15

UNDERLYING NPAT A$M 400.0 Variance Analysis - Underlying NPAT, H1 2011 vs H1 2010 350.0 300.0 250.0 Increased mining costs due to diesel and increased volumes partially offset by interest income. Reduction in deferred mining credit and increase in depreciation, partially offset by increased inventory adjustment. 200.0 150.0 100.0 Increase in copper price (32%) and gold price (25%). Increase in A$/US$ 16%. Decrease in copper sales due to lower processed grades.
