Arcelormittal South Africa is pleased to inform its shareholders that the commissioning of the Newcastle Works has been successfully completed and that steel is being produced. Based on this: - production backlog orders are being immediately pioritised to ensure that these are cleared by the end of December 2014; and - all the domestic demands from the month of January 2015 onwards will be met. The reline of the blast furnace at Newcastle Works is a major maintenance project that will result in a more modern and safer furnace. With improved operating efficiencies, the project will increase the amount of steel produced at Newcastle Works from 1700 000 tonnes to 1900 000 tonnes per annum. The project will serve as a major cash injection into Newcastle, northern KwaZulu- Natal and the KZN province as a whole. 3 December 2014 Sponsor to ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited J.P.
