Result of 2013 Annual General Meeting
Kazakhmys PLC (the 'Company') announces that at its Annual General Meeting held today, all the resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed on a poll. The poll results showing the number of votes received for and against each resolution are shown below.

In accordance with the Code, the Concert Party (comprising Vladimir Kim, Oleg Novachuk and Eduard Ogay) has not voted its interest in 188,064,645 Ordinary Shares in respect of Resolution 20 (the 'LTIP Waiver Resolution') and therefore the poll results for this resolution represent approximately 66% of the total number of 335,653,705 Ordinary Shares eligible to vote.
The Company currently holds 11,701,830 Ordinary Shares in treasury which do not carry voting rights.
