Freight Advantages Kemaman has distinct freight advantages over other pellet producers Proximity to Key Markets Reduced Shipping Times Smaller Shipping Quantities Reduced Working Capital Cost 18

Grange Pellets Competitive Advantage Grange can produce both BF and DR Grade pellets which are comparable in quality and have significant freight advantages over the current pellet supply.! DR Grade (67.4% Fe)! Extremely low Phos Levels (< 0.005%)! Low Freight Costs! Small Quantities can be shipped economically! Lower customer working capital expense! Low Pelletising costs at Kemaman 19
