BASIC OXYGEN FURNACES RE-COMMISSIONED AFTER THE FIRE AT
VANDERBIJLPARK

Shareholders are referred to the announcements released on
SENS on 11 February, 22 February and 4 March 2013, with
reference to a fire that occurred at ArcelorMittal South
Africa’s Vanderbijlpark Works on 9 February 2013.

The fire caused severe damage to three Basic Oxygen Furnaces
(BOFs) in the steel making facility.   Repairs to the steel
making facility have been completed and the three BOF’s have
been re-commissioned and are now fully operational.

An assessment into the root cause of the fire has been
completed and results reveal that the operation was affected
by an unforeseen malfunction of the sensor and computer
software.

ArcelorMittal South Africa will disclose the overall cost
implication of the fire accident once all assessments are
finalised.
