today announces that Simon Wandke has been nominated Executive Vice President of
ArcelorMittal and promoted to Chief Executive Officer of ArcelorMittal Mining,
with immediate effect. Simon replaces Bill Scotting, who is leaving the company

ArcelorMittal Mining and is a member of the Group Management Committee. He has

operator since he joined the group in 2011 and was a clear choice to take up the
position of CEO. He knows our mining assets very well and fully understands the
priorities for the business in the current operating environment. He is
supported by a very strong leadership team and I am confident he will build on
the excellent progress Bill has made in optimising the performance of the asset
base, specifically increasing marketable shipments and reducing costs through
debottlenecking and efficiency improvements. I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank Bill, who has been a tremendous asset to ArcelorMittal over
the past thirteen years and has made a considerable contribution to our company.
I wish him every success for the future."
Simon Wandke, said: "Being promoted to CEO of ArcelorMittal Mining is a great
honour for me, and I am looking forward to the challenge. We are currently
operating in a tough market environment and must ensure we continue to be
disciplined in all aspects of our mining operations, building on the excellent
progress we have made with our cost reduction and production optimisation
measures. ArcelorMittal has world-class mining assets and a valued and talented
team and I am sure we will continue to deliver strong and consistent progress."
