Investor Day

Today, Glencore Xstrata plc (�Glencore�) is hosting an investor day in
London which will provide a detailed update on the progress of the
integration, initial results of the portfolio review, synergies identified
and approach to capital allocation.

Highlights include:
� Integration completed within three months with no operational disruption;
� At least $2 billion of synergies estimated for 2014, materially exceeding
the initial merger guidance of $500 million;
- $450 million to come from marketing synergies as forecast, $175 million
from financing synergies and $1.4 billion through cost savings;
� Operational efficiency on-going through a comprehensive review of assets;
� Continue to focus on ensuring key projects are delivered in as best a
manner as possible;
� $3.5bn reduction in capital expenditure during 2013 to 2015 (excl. Las
Bambas from 2014) with full optionality being maintained;
� Sustaining capex expected at $4bn, the lower end of previous guidance of
$4-5bn;
� Defensive, diversified asset base with increasingly strong cost curve
positions; and
� Xstrata�s greenfield projects have been deprioritised with a material
reduction in scope and costs.

Glencore also intends to make an application to the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange for a secondary listing. Subject to obtaining the required
approvals, Glencore expects the listing to become effective during the
fourth quarter of 2013.

Africa is an important and growing market for the Group and South Africa
has a strong institutional investor base. The Group�s primary listing will
remain the London Stock Exchange.

Ivan Glasenberg, CEO, commented:

"We have successfully and rapidly completed the integration of Xstrata,
identifying at least $2bn of synergies by 2014. A significant portion of
the synergies are in overhead costs at head and regional offices. We are
only just starting to comprehensively look at the combined mining and
metallurgical operations.

"Glencore will have a diversified and defensive asset base with an
increasingly strong cost curve position. With our strong balance sheet and
cash flow, I am pleased to remind investors of our commitment to return
cash to shareholders.

"This is an interesting time for the sector, and an exciting one for
Glencore. There is sound demand for commodities, and we see positive signs
of financial discipline across the sector. This provides an environment in
which Glencore�s owner-manager philosophy will thrive."
