USD49.,TerniumMMXMagnesitaBradespar,Nov 6Nov 7Nov 8Nov 11,Weekly recapThe main highlights from last week were:(i)IODEX closed on Friday atUSD122.0/dmt,USD1.5/dmt higher vs.previous weeks close,(ii)Usiminas,CSN and Gerdau published 3Q12 results,and(iii)MMX announced that BNDESapproved the allocation of a long-term financing package for the Serra Azulproject.Valuation and risksWe value LatAm Metals&Mining stocks using DCF as a primary methodology.For WACC calculation,we assume a 5%market risk premium and a 4%risk-free rate.For the steelmakers,we incorporate a multiple component tocalculate the target prices in addition to the DCF.Key risks include currency,project delays,overpaying for acquisitions,and slower-than-expected globaleconomic growth.More on valuation and risks on

ANDANALYST CERTIFICATIONS ARE LOCATED IN APPENDIX 1.MICA(P)072/04/2012.,5 November 2012Metals and(iii)iron ore exports starting on 2H13.We expect turnaround efforts tostart showing in 2013 results.MMXM11:The Time is NowWe expect important catalysts to materialize for MMXM11 in the short run which are:(i)potential agreement to supply port capacity to Gerdaus iron ore project announced lastweek,(ii)potential pre-sale of bulk port capacity to trading companies and(iii)asuccessful inauguration of Porto Sudeste by mid 2013.Also,we believe that thesuccessful execution of the Sudeste Port project would have a positive effect on riskperception towards MMXM11 and for the EBX group as a whole.We have MMXM11 asa Top Pick,together with Gerdau and Usiminas.,Page2,Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,5 November 2012Metals Usiminas,Gerdau and MMXM11 TopPicks,We reiterate our preference for the steel sector vs.mining and our three Top Picks areUsiminas,Gerdau and MMXM11.In our view these companies should benefit not onlyfrom market trends,but from specific catalysts that we expect to materialize in the nextsix months.UsiminasThe investment case for Usiminas is very simple we expect the companys EBITDA toreach BRL3.0bn in 2015 due to improving volumes,higher efficiency and iron oreexports.In this scenario,Usiminas would be the cheapest Brazilian steelmaker in 2015on an EV/EBITDA valuation approach.In addition,Usiminas is the steelmaker with thehighest leverage to the recovery of Brazilian GDP growth.GerdauWe believe that Gerdau results were not as weak as they initially seem:the lowerresults in the U.S.occurred because of FIFO accounting and the specialty steel segmentis expected to recover strongly next year(we forecast truck production in Brazil toincrease by 22%in 2013).We also expect Gerdau to sign a fair port contract soon(cUSD15/t),which would bring the valuation of the iron ore business back to thecompanys stock price.MMXM11We estimate that at current price MMXM11 offers a yield higher than 16%assumingiron ore volumes of 46mtpy in 2018.While investors seem to be skeptical about thecompany reaching some volume targets,we think that a potential partnership withGerdau would lead to a significant reduction in the execution risk perception.Our callsWe believe that our main three Top Picks differ from consensus preference list,whichremains negative on the steel sector because of the weak results reported for the 3Q12.As for MMXM11,we highlight the fact that in our view this is the asset that potentiallycould bring significant positive news for the EBX group in the short run.Specific recommendationsWe recommend investors to enter long positions in USIM5,GGB and MMXM11.Wealso recommend the following relative trades:USIM5 vs.VALE,USIM5 vs.SID,MMXM11 vs.MMXM3,GGB+USIM5 vs.SID,MMXM11 vs.VALE.Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,Report published onNovember 1st,2012,Page3,5 November 2012Metals&MiningWhats nextVale and Bradespar:UpdatingCapex estimatesVale and Bradespar:3Q12 and Capex update,In this report we finetune our forecasts for Vale and Bradespar to incorporate 3Q12results,new capex estimates and,in the case of Bradespar,review the methodology forvaluing CPFL.Our 12-month target price for VALE remains unchanged at USD24/ADRand in the case of Bradespar our new TP is BRL40.We maintain our Buy rating on bothcompanies.Capex now estimated at USD16.4bn in 2013Vales management made it clear in the companys 3Q12 earnings call that thecompany will reduce capex in the years ahead.Our model now assumes capex ofUSD17.0bn for 2012(-10%vs prior)and USD16.4bn for 2013(-26%vs prior)as webasically postponed all non-iron ore projects disbursements.We expect Vale toannounce further details of its capex plan on December 3rd,2012 during its annualInvestor day to be held in New York.Dividend in 2013 estimated at USD3.4bn(3.6%yield)In our calculations Vale would have to pay USD3.4bn in dividends next year(3.6%yield)so that its controlling shareholder,Valepar,is able to pay the principal and interestassociated with redeemable shares issued in 2008.Such shares provided the funds thatValepar used to participate in Vales equity offering in the same year.Valuation and RisksWe value Latam Mining stocks using the discounted cash flow methodology.For theWACC calculation,we assume a 5%market risk premium and a 3%risk-free rate.Keyrisks include currency,project delays,overpaying for acquisitions,and slower-than-expected global economic growth.For further information on risks and

futures(SingaporeExchange)for the same dates stand,respectively,at USD116/dmt(flat vs.previousweek),and USD114/dmt(-USD1 vs.previous week).Profitability outlookWe estimate January 2013 EBITDA/t for Chinese HRC at USD17(+USD4 vs.previousweek)and for European HRC at USD52(-USD8 vs.previous week).Assuming current,prices,remain,stable,June,2013,EBITDA/t,would,be,respectively,USD14 and USD49.Scrap vs.iron ore/cokeThe current ratio of scrap to iron ore/coke stands at 1.44(+9.8%vs.October),while theten-year average is 1.26.According to our calculation,scrap is more expensive than ironore and coal at this time.Historical spreadsMetal spreads in the US suggest that the current spreads are below the long-runaverage.Price above raw material in Europe is higher than the long-run average andprice above raw material in China is also higher than the long-run average.Vale ports lineupThe current lineup of Vales ships suggests iron ore exports of 22.6mt in November2012(excluding Samarco).At the
