EXX - Exxaro - Trading statement for the six months ended 30 June 2010 EXXARO RESOURCES LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Registration Number: 2000/011076/06 Share Code: EXX ISIN Number: ZAE000084992 ("Exxaro") TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2010 Shareholders are advised that Exxaro will release its reviewed financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2010 on 12 August 2010. Consolidated net operating profit for the group for the six months ended 30 June 2010 is expected to show an improvement when compared to the corresponding period in 2009. The group results were positively impacted by a stronger global economic recovery resulting in higher commodity prices for the period partially offset by a stronger average realised exchange rate. The coal business is expected to deliver higher operating results for the six months ended 30 June 2010 than the corresponding period in 2009 due primarily to higher international sales prices and the inclusion of the Mafube joint venture operating results acquired on 1 June 2009. The mineral sands business will report a consolidated net operating profit due to higher commodity prices, improved sales volumes, disciplined cost management as well as the final proceeds of an insurance claim received during the period for the water ingress incident that occurred at the KZN Sands furnace 2 in February 2008. The base metals business is expected to report a marginal increase in net operating profit mainly due to higher commodity prices for the six months ended 30 June 2010. Headline earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2010 are expected to be between 650 cents and 700 cents, representing an increase of between 60% and 73% when compared to the corresponding period in 2009.
