1 WELCOME TO OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION EVENT WHICH PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON THE ALLOY WHEEL MANUFACTURING FACILITY PROPOSED ADJACENT TO THE LIBERTY BRITISH ALUMINIUM SMELTER IN FORT received a very positive response to the proposed development at our public consultation event which was held on 28th September 2017. Since then, we have collated and reviewed valuable feedback we received on a number of matters, and the information displayed here today seeks to respond to such feedback, and provide more detail on the alloy wheel manufacturing facility in particular. GFG ALLIANCEGFG Alliance is an international group of businesses that work for tomorrow s generations as much as for today s. On a planet of limited resources, rising population and cycles of prosperity and recession, GFG place great emphasis on making their enterprises both resilient and sustainable.

2 The GFG Alliance combines some of the world s leading industrial, natural and financial resources, working together towards the delivery of a common industrial VISIONGFG s vision is to maximise the existing smelter s output, together with sources of renewable energy, to deliver green aluminium for the benefit of customers and communities. In addition, the wider estate offers a unique opportunity to create an exemplar for the running of a large Highland estate; combining old and new rural and recreational activity, community enterprise and sustainable industrialisation. The alloy wheel manufacturing facility is just one of GFG Alliance s projects, with various other projects planned for the site and wider estate, including a potential Research and Development facility, required housing, and a proposed wind farm at Glenshero.

3 However, the alloy wheel plant is the key first step and facilitator for each of these projects, and the developer requires planning permission for this to guarantee the progression of other projects. Therefore, the alloy wheel plant is the focus of this event and GFG Alliance will continue to engage with the community on the other projects at the appropriate stage in each of the plans for the wind farm, comprising up to 54 turbines, will be outlined by SIMEC Energy representatives during information events at Laggan Village Hall on Monday 20th November and Fort Augustus Village Hall on Tuesday 21st November. Both events will be open between 3pm and 7:30pm for visitors to drop in to see initial plans, hear briefings and share their GFG AllianceSIMEC Group is an international energy, infrastructure and natural resources business focused on building a dynamic portfolio of extraction resources, sustainable power and supporting the Alliance with an infrastructure and energy trading operates and owns a wide portfolio of industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential properties.

5 GFG Alliance s acquisition has been progressed by one of the Liberty House Group s divisions, Liberty Aluminium, with a view to operating the aluminium smelter, utilising existing and proposed renewable power, and significantly investing in the plant to develop additional industrial processes, such as the alloy wheel manufacturing Lochaber Smelting and Power Generation Process123456789 NORTH ROAD A82 INVERNESSFORT WILLIAM1.

6 The alloy wheel manufacturing facility will utilise approximately half of the molten aluminium produced by the smelter to cast circa 2 million alloy wheels a year. Whilst safeguarding the existing 245 direct, indirect and induced jobs associated with the existing smelter operations, the proposed development is expected to create between 380 and 450 direct jobs. These jobs will involve engineering and production, design, IT, finance, sales, human resources, environment and safety and operations. Additional jobs will also be supported and created throughout the construction period and through the use of local suppliers. GFG Alliance is conscious to avoid any labour market displacement. Accordingly, a number of measures are being developed to encourage new people to the area to meet the employment demand, such as the supply of new homes and recruitment drives around the UK.

7 The housing requirement is being progressed as a priority and discussions with statutory consultees and landowners on potential sites are ongoing. Further detail will be released in due course.

The purpose of the EIA is to identify the aspects of the environment likely to be significantly affected by the development. A number of topics have been assessed and the results are set out in the EIA Report which will be submitted with the Planning Application.
