Legal proceedings

During the second half of 2009 SIOC concluded the arbitration over Sishen South (Kolomela Mine) with ArcelorMittal. The Arbitration panel determined that ArcelorMittal is not entitled to demand equity participation in the Kolomela Mine, or any other future new development of SIOC. This significant conclusion to the arbitration process represents an important operating profit preservation for the group.
