ABB Group April 12, 2010 | Slide 4 Innovation is key to ABBs competitive advantage Leadership built on consistent R&D investment More than $1 billion invested annually in R&D* 6,000 scientists and engineers Collaboration with 70 universities MIT (US), Tsinghua (China), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore), ETH (Switzerland), Karlsruhe (Germany) * Comprises non-order related R&D and order-related development ABB Group April 12, 2010 | Slide 5 Market trends & driving forces Safety, health and live quality a strong driving force! Deeper and remote location Increasing share of underground mines in the future Decrease in capital expenditure, cost and energy used Environmental issues Closure mines Water and waste treatment Energy efficiency Emissions - Kyoto agreement More regulations MINER Act 2006, EU Difficulty to recruit fully-qualified workforce and the necessity of new organization structure Intelligent integrated mine operations ABB Group April 12, 2010 | Slide 6 Underground Mine Challenges Decreasing copper grade of the mineral and deeper mining exploitation. Harder Complex minerals, less joints and presence of contaminants. Mines are located in remote areas Bigger transport distances for minerals Intensive fuel energy used with high C02 emissions Many real time information Material movement is a huge burden - thus goals of more primary separation as early in the process as possible Harsh environment and risks inside the mine Increasing demands in sustainable development, live quality of workers, intensive bargaining with Communities and high environment requirements.
