  33. Slide 33: TiO2 Market Review 2013

    TiO2 Market Review 2013 Pigment demand: Solid growth of ~9% in 2013 following ~12% contraction in 2012  However, growth was met from the drawdown of significant producer inventories  Reduced pigment plant operating rates throughout 2013 to enable inventory drawdown  Pigment demand at end of 2013

  34. Slide 34: TiO2 Market Outlook 2014

    TiO2 Market Outlook 2014  Improving economic data in US & Europe should support stronger pigment demand in 2014  Major pigment producers report strong Q4 2013 pigment sales volume growth vs. Q4 2012  DuPont +18%  Huntsman +15%  Tronox +23%  Above trendline growth rate expected in period 2014 t

  35. Slide 35: TiO2 Market Outlook 2014 (cont’d)

    TiO2 Market Outlook 2014 (cont’d)  Normalisation of pigment inventories is expected to lead to higher plant operating rates in 2014  Should lead to higher feedstock demand  Normalisation of feedstock demand should support higher feedstock prices  Moderate supply surplus in 2014; assuming timely

  36. Slide 36: Zircon Market Review

    Zircon Market Review  Prices appeared to bottom by end of Q1 2013 following sharp correction during the previous 8 months  Signs of demand recovery in H1 2013 disappointed in H2 2013  Resulted in some moderate weakening of prices in Q4 2013 – reversing Q3 2013 gains  Demand outlook is improving
