| Synergies to be realized by mid-2008, assuming transaction closes in H2/06 A large percentage of the synergies are unique to the combination of our two companies |

Results Save on freight cost Reduce feed variability Improve mill recoveries (example above over $7 million per year) |
| Feed flow optimization Reconfigure Clarabelle mill processing circuit to produce copper concentrate to feed Falconbridge's Kidd Creek or Horne smelters Benefits to new Inco: Increases nickel smelting capacity and nickel production while avoiding capital expenditures that would otherwise be required Reduces working capital Reduces freight charges ....and long-term commitments and investment, which is only possible through the combination of our two companies |
