                                    TEMCO ANTI-DUMPING INVESTIGATION

South32 Limited (ASX, LSE, JSE: S32) (“South32”) advises that the United States Department
of Commerce has issued a notice of a preliminary anti-dumping determination, setting a 11.93%
rate for imports of Silicomanganese of Australian origin into the United States, of which TEMCO
is a producer.

The Department of Commerce will continue its investigations and is expected to make a final
determination in 2016. The United States International Trade Commission is expected to
commence its final injury investigation. TEMCO intends to defend its position.

South32 is disappointed with the imposition of these preliminary measures and will review its
options. The preliminary finding does not impact South32’s manganese ore operations in
Australia and South Africa, which accounted for 95 per cent of Underlying Earnings Before
Interest and Tax (EBIT) generated by the manganese business in FY15.

TEMCO is a manganese alloy plant located in Tasmania, Australia and is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GEMCO, which is 60 per cent owned by South32.

South32 is committed to the development of transparent and fair markets in which it sells its
products.
