Declared strategy of MMK: performance in 2007

Expansion of downstream production

– Sellable products output keeps on growing according to our estimates – Crude steel and slabs output growth to meet the demand from plate mill coming on stream – Significant product changes are bound in 2008 – Preparation for new plate mill commissioning moves on according to schedule Start-up – July 2009 – Realization of the high quality CR rolled steel goes according to schedule Start-up - 2010

Expansion on fast growing markets

– Entry to the strong Turkish market to organically grow in flat rolled steel – This expansion is in line with MMK growth strategy in the fast-growing markets

Target investments to boost profitability

– Heavy plate and CR automotive rolled steel – Acquisition of Intercos-4 to start a project for downstream processing in order to meet the demand from the booming automotive industry and home appliances production

Secured raw material supplies

– Long-term contracts with key raw material suppliers are in place and prove effective – The decision has been made to develop Prioskol iron ore deposit. This will allow to be 100% self-sufficient in iron ore in the long term. – Strategic alliance with Belon company. Supplies of high quality coal to MMK triple. Up to 80% requirement coverage by 2012.

Strong Positions on the Russian Market

MMK’s geographic position is the key factor to determine its orientation towards satisfying the demand of the fast growing Russian market MMK is strategically placed in the highest steel consumption region of Russia The share of domestic sales is constantly growing and will reach at least 65% The product mix will allow MMK to meet the demand of Russia’s various industrial sectors The Russian market absorbs all of MMK’s long products and downstream products The entire gain in production level due to modernization (apprx.3 m tons) will be shipped to the domestic market

“Thanks to its diversified product mix, MMK is exposed to all of the

domestic market’s major segments.. MMK also enjoys strong links to the construction market, which accounts for over 20% of its domestic sales, as well as the mechanical engineering and automotive industries, which we think could come alive in the future” Analyst of Troika Dialog

Outlook for the Raw Materials Markets in 2008

Russia has own strategic coal reserves covering the requirements of Russian steel producers Despite the growth in coal consumption, the Russian coal market is balanced with a significant potential of export decrease Russian iron ore production exceeds the current requirements of Russian steel producers for these raw materials In 1Q of 2008 iron ore prices were stable due to agreements concluded earlier

Even given permanent scrap consumption growth, Russian steel producers retain the flexibility to switch over to consumption of currently exported scrap

Development of Prioskol Iron Ore Deposit

Deposit Characteristics Project Parameters Project’s Strengths

  • The capacity of Prioskol Plant and reserves of the deposit can cover MMK requirement for iron ore materials for

a period of over 60 years.

  • Convenient geographic location enabling it to be used for both supplies to MMK’s main site and foreign projects.
  • The possibility of products sales to third parties (including international consumers).
  • The deposit is ready for development.
  • Iron-containing minerals quality is high (up to 70.1% Fe in concentrate) and is suitable for DRI production

Production capacity: 35 mtpy of crude ore Commercial products (sinter ore, pellets, concentrate): 15 mtpy Construction time: 3 years Capex: USD 1.8 bn IRR: 19%.

In November, 2006, MMK won a tender to develop Prioskol Iron Ore Deposit. In December of 2007 MMK’s Board of Directors passed a resolution on setting up a branch of MMK in the Belgorod Region to implement the project.

The Prioskolsky Deposit is the largest deposit of rich iron

  • res and ferruginous quartzites in the Kursk Magnetic

Anomaly (KMA). The deposit’s confirmed reserves comprise 45 m tons of rich ore (Fe-50,31 %) and 2.1 bn tons of ferruginous quartzites (Fe-33,5 %)

Key EBITDA Drivers

Sales and EBITDA Dynamics

US$ m

  • Attractive Russian economy driving strong steel

demand growth

  • Growing demand for high value-added and

customised products especially from the pipe-making, construction, energy and automobile industries

  • Increased demand for large diameter pipe plate and

coated steel

Strong Domestic Demand

  • In 2007 domestic sales amounted to 66% of the total

sales vs. 62% in 2006 and 61% in 2005

  • Higher share of domestic sales allows MMK to further

benefit from the favourable domestic price environment

  • Strategic relationships with key customers and limited

exposure to spot sales

Growing Exposure to Domestic Markets

  • Both Russian and international steel prices are high

and showed a positive trend in 2007

  • Domestic market price premium remains high

High market concentration and growth in demand

Higher costs related to imports (eg. tariffs, logistical costs and other transport-related expenses)

Favourable Steel Price Dynamics

  • Value-added projects

launch of galvanizing and coating facilities

  • Cost reduction projects

reconstruction of sinter plants and blast furnaces

Projects for New Products and Costs Reduction

  • Growth of COGS, which mostly depended of prices for

raw materials growth in 2007 was compensated by MMK’s increased revenues thanks to rising production levels and higher steel prices.
