Ferrexpo has a long term improvement plan in place which will continue to reap dividends in optimizing output at the current pit. • Concentrate production dynamics are very close to those of iron ore and demonstrate sustainable growth (up 18% in 1HY 2007 versus 1HY 2006). • Total pellet production for 2Q remained about the same as in 1Q but it should be underlined there was a significant growth of 65% pellets in total production (the share exceeded 41% versus 34% in 1Q). These quality improvements account for much of the overall decrease (3%) in volume of pellets from produced concentrate compared with 1Q results. • Pellet production for 1HY 2007 is 19% up versus 1HY 2006 and indicates Ferrexpo leading the way among Ukrainian pellet producers Viktor Lotous, Chief Operating Officer of Ferrexpo, stated: 'Based on 2Q results I am pleased to say that Ferrexpo Poltava Mining continues to lead the Ukrainian mining sector by production growth. The actions we have and will continue to take to address operational efficiency in mining provide the basis for stable growth of pellet production volumes as well as desired quality improvements. Overall demand for pellets remains high and the outlook is stable.'
