("Agreement"), whereby Anglo American Participações agreed to purchase, and the
controlling shareholder and certain members of management of MMX agreed to sell,
common shares representing approximately 63.47% of the share capital of IronX Mineração

b.
Resumption of the operation of MMX Corumbá Mineração and adjustments in its activities
in Mato Grosso do Sul
On April 5, 2009, MMX informed the resumption of the operation of its iron ore mine
located in Corumbá, of the subsidiary MMX Corumbá. The Company had brought
operations in the State to a standstill in December 2008 due to the scenario of the sector
since the middle of last year, characterized by reduction of the demand for ore and its by-
products in the country and the rest of the world, because of the international financial crisis.
Despite the return of mining activities, the Company decided to maintain the suspension of
the operation of the metallic products unit, of the subsidiary MMX Metálicos Corumbá. The
resumption of its production continues contingent upon the recovery of the panorama of the
iron and steel sector in Brazil and in the world. Likewise, the planting activities of the forest
unit in Mato Grosso do Sul, which has a planted area of 6 thousand hectares, will continue at
a standstill with the upkeep of the Planted area maintained.
The subscription of Debentures will be in cash upon their subscription and their maturity of
the perpetual type under the terms of paragraph 3 of art.55 of Law 6,404.
The debentures will be perpetual, all in accordance with §3º of article 55 of Law 6.404/76,
and their maturity will occur exclusively under the following situations: (a) liquidation,
dissolution, winding up, voluntary bankruptcy or bankruptcy; (b) transfer of control of the
Company or of any of its successors after giving effect to a spin-off, amalgamation or
merger, all in accordance with article 254-A of Law 6.404/76, unless the price-per-share
equal to or greater than R$3,00 (three reais).
The proceeds from the issuance of the debentures will be used to finance part of the debt of
the Company, and therefore improving its short-term cash flow profile. This transaction
confirms the commitment of MMX's controlling shareholder with the proper development of
the Company's businesses.

operation of its two mines. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the subsidiary started exporting
iron ore.
On November 7, 2008 MMX disclosed that adoption of measures to suit the scenario of
slower global economic growth, to adjust their programs for the production of metal and iron
ore, which resulted in a reduction in the rate of its operations in the last quarter of 2008. This
decision helped to reduce the operating expenses and avoid an increase in inventories. For
this, the MMX fully suspended from the end of November 2008, the activities of the plant,
and Corumba Mine, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The suspension was
temporary and did not result in layoffs with MMX Corumbá's activities expected to resume
on April 1, 2009. The activities of MMX Metálicos Corumbá have been suspended until May
1, 2009.
Also as a result of the global economic slow-down, MMX decided to postpone indefinitely

iv.
Management of capital risk
The Company considers its share capital and contributed surplus as capital, which at June 30,
2009 totaled $431,709 (December 31, 2008 - $425,716).
The objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a
going concern in order to continue development of its business and related properties and to
maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages its capital structure in order to ensure sufficient resources are
available to meet day to day operating requirements and to have the financial ability to grow
its operations through iron ore. Methods used by the Company to manage its capital, taking
into consideration changes in economic conditions, include issuing new share capital or
obtaining debt financing. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital
requirements. The Company's Board of Directors takes full responsibility for managing the
Company's capital and does so through quarterly board meetings, review of financial
information and regular communication with Officers and senior management
v.
Going concern
The Company is dependent upon the financial support of the shareholders or capital infusions
from third parties until operations are profitable.
Management is pursuing additional sources of financing to support the operation as well as
seeking reduction of production costs and administrative expenses. The Company also is
dependent on the recovery of iron ore prices and improvement in the general international
market conditions. In the absence of financial support, reduction of costs and expenses and
general improvements market conditions there are substantial uncertainties about the
Company's and subsidiaries' ability to conduct its planned principal operations as a whole.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company and its
subsidiaries to continue as going concern.

Summary of significant accounting policies
a.
Impairment of comparison analysis among the periods presented
The comparative and consolidated analysis among the periods presented are impaired due to
the partial spin-off made on June 2008, as mentioned in Note 1 and detailed in Note 20.
b.
Basis
of presentation and consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority
owned subsidiaries in which the Company directly or indirectly has either: (a) a majority of
the equity of the subsidiary or otherwise has management control; or (b) the Company has
determined itself to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in accordance with
FIN 46 (R).
All significant transactions and balances among the all the companies within the
consolidation have been eliminated.
The companies within MMX's Group were at the exploration stage up to December 31, 2007
and, therefore, statements and notes included information accumulated as from the inception
(January 16, 2001), as required by SFAS 7 Accounting and reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises. As from the first quarter of 2008, majority part of the consolidated
companies within the MMX's Group are no longer at the exploration stage, beginning their
operations as from the first quarter in 2008. Therefore, all 2008 consolidated financial
statements do not consider information accumulated as from the inception.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (which are normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly its financial position as of June 30, 2009, and its consolidated results of operations and
cash flows for the six- month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The interim financial
statements shall be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"), which differ in certain respects from Brazilian
MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. and subsidiaries
Consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
15
accounting principles applied by the Company and its subsidiaries in their statutory financial
statements. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects
from accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP"). The Company
has presented the nature of such differences in Note 27 to the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Companies") maintain their statutory
accounting records in local currency, the real. The U.S. dollar amounts presented in the
consolidated financial statements have been remeasured (translated) from the local currency
amounts in accordance with the criteria set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") no. 52 - Foreign Currency Translation.
The Companies determined the local currency (real) as their functional currency and have
translated all assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at
June 30,2009 and December 31,2008 (R$1,9516 and R$2,337 to US$1.00, respectively), and
all amounts in the statements of operations and cash flows at the average rates prevailing
during each of the months within the period June 30, 2009 and 2008, including amounts
relative to local currency indexation and exchange variances on assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currency. The related translation adjustments are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders' equity
(deficit).
The subsidiaries in which minority interest exist have presented losses exceeding the
minority interest in the equity capital of these subsidiaries, such excess applicable to the
minority interest was charged against statements of operations, as there is no obligation for
the minority interest to make good such losses. However, if future earnings do materialize,
the statements of operations will be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed.

c.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the
Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and with respect to the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions
include the carrying amount of inventories, property, plant and equipment, intangibles,
deferred income tax assets, environmental liabilities, asset retirement obligations, valuation
of derivative instruments, share-based compensation and fair value of financial instruments.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company reviews the estimates and
assumptions periodically.
d.
Recently adopted accounting standards
FASB Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157")
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, which became effective for the Company on
January 1, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require
any new fair value measurements but would apply to assets and liabilities that are required to
be recorded at fair value under other accounting standards.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FSP 157-2, "Effective Date of
FASB Statement 157", which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. This
FSP delays the effective date of SFAS 157, for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
The Company implemented SFAS 157 and FSP 157-2 effective on January 1, 2008 with no
material impact due to the implementation, other than additional disclosures.
SFAS 157 and FSP 157-2 require disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at
fair value on a recurring basis into one of three different levels depending on the
observability of the inputs applied in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in
MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. and subsidiaries
Consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
17
active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other
than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the
asset or liability reflecting the Company's assumptions about pricing by market participants.
The disclosure requirements of SFAS 157 and FSP 157-2 were applied to the Company's
derivative instruments recognized in accordance with SFAS 115.
The Company's derivatives, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable
securities fair values were recognized in accordance with exchanged quoted prices as the
balance sheet date for identical assets in active markets, and, therefore, were classified as
Level 1. (See Note 9).
The fair values of Company's debts and notes payable were calculated using observable
market interest rates and discounting the future cash flows, and, therefore, were classified as
Level 2. (See Note 9).
e.
Recently issued accounting standards
FASB Statement 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities" ("SFAS 159")
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, that permits the measurement of certain
financial instruments at fair value. Entities may choose to measure eligible items at fair value
at specified election dates, reporting unrealized gains and losses on such items at each
subsequent reporting period. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007. SFAS 159 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 with no impact to
its consolidated financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141-R")
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141-R, which will become effective for business
combination transactions having an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. This
standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the assets
MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. and subsidiaries
Consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
18
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the
acquisition date to be measured at their respective fair values. SFAS 141-R changes the
accounting treatment for the following items: acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs
to be generally expensed when incurred; in-process research and development to be recorded
at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; changes in deferred
tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition to be
generally recognized in income tax expense; acquired contingent liabilities to be recorded at
fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such
amount or the amount determined `under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies.
SFAS 141-R also includes a substantial number of new disclosures requirements. The impact
on the application of SFAS 141-R in the consolidation financial statements will depend on
the business combinations arising during 2009 and thereafter.
FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160")
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, that establishes new accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation
of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority
interest) as equity in the combined financial statements and separate from the parent's equity.
The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in
combined net income on the face of the income statement. Certain changes in a parent's
ownership interest are to be accounted for as equity transactions and when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated, any noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is to be
initially measured at fair value. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements
regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest and is effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The Company's presentation of income statement and balance sheet will be
significantly changed by the application of SFAS 160.

FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161")
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." This statement
requires enhanced disclosures about the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for
derivative instruments under SFAS 133 and related interpretations, and the impact of
derivative instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance,
and cash flows, particularly from a risk perspective. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
FASB Statement 165 "Subsequent Events"
In May 2009, the FASB issued No 165, "Disclousures about Subsequent Events".This
Statement should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity
reports--either through recognition or disclosure--in its financial statements. This Statement
introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. It requires the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis
for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued
or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 beginning after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position and
recognition disclosure.

Financial instruments
The Company's subsidiaries have derivative financial instruments to manage their exposure on
its foreign currency denominated debt instruments. The Company's subsidiaries do not enter into
derivative financial instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes. That is,
the subsidiaries do not speculate by using derivatives. In order to reduce the impact of
fluctuations in the exchange rate, the subsidiaries have adopted a policy of entering into swap
contracts.
By using derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to changes in exchange rates, the
subsidiaries expose themselves to credit risks and market risks. Credit risk is the failure of the
counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a
derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the subsidiaries, which creates a credit risk
for the subsidiaries. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the subsidiaries owe
MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. and subsidiaries
Consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
24
the counterparty and, therefore, they do not posses a credit risk. The subsidiaries reduce their
credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high quality
counterparties.
Market risk, in this case, is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results
from a change in currency exchange rates, managed by establishing and monitoring parameters
that limit the types and degree of market risks that may be undertaken.
Management monitors and evaluates its overall position daily in order to evaluate financial
results and impact on the subsidiaries' cash flows. All financial derivative instruments
are marked-to-market at each balance sheet date, with the impact of changes in their fair value
recorded as financial income (expenses).
Credit risks
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The Company's exposure arises principally
from its short term investments and concentrate awaiting settlement. Historically, the Company
has not experienced any losses related to individual customers and does not believe it is exposed
to a significant concentration of credit risk.
Interest earning bank deposits held are basically, in exclusive funds managed by financial
institutions and backed on federal government securities and private securities (CDB) of prime
financial institutions, as well as private securities (Bank Credit Notes - CCB and Debentures)
issued by companies and financial institutions, all having average profitability equivalent to DI
Cetip (Interbank Deposit Certificate - CDI), and are subject to the credit risk of the respective
corporate and financial institutions issuers of such securities.
Interest rate risk
The results of the Company and its subsidiaries are susceptible to variations arising from
financing and loan operations contracted at floating interest rates.
The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to protect or reduce
volatility the financial costs of the financing operations and investments.

Consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
25
Exchange rate risk
The Company's revenues, in their largest portion, will be generated in U.S. dollars and most of its
capital investment needs (CAPEX) are in reais. As a strategy to prevent and reduce the effects of
the exchange rate fluctuation, Management has adopted the policy of using currency forward
options to economically hedge the exchange rate volatility in the related assets.
The results of the Company and its subsidiaries are susceptible to significant variations, due to
the effects of the volatility of the foreign exchange rate on assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies, especially the U.S. dollar, which closed the six-month period ended June 30,
2009 with a variation of (16,49%).
The Company also uses offsetting foreign currency, assets and liabilities to reduce the impact of
exchange rate variations.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, loss of $18,354 and gain of, $13,823
respectively, were effectively realized and unrealized gains of $36,422 and $2,088 respectively,
for the same period mentioned above were recorded in the statements of operations.

Criteria, assumptions and limitations used to calculate the market value
Cash and cash equivalents
The accounting value approximates the market value of the trading securities due to the short-
term maturity of these instruments.
Marketable securities and restricted cash
Both carrying amount and fair value of the marketable securities, including "the part restricted as
collateral", are calculated based on current market rates applicable for such type of debt
securities.
Debt
The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each
instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable
maturities by the Company's bankers.
Notes payable
The fair value of notes payable is calculated and recorded through the discounting of the
Company's cash flows using a market interest rate of 8%, whenever the notes do not include an
explicit interest rate. This results in reflecting a more favorable condition that would otherwise
have been available to the subsidiary. The fair value of notes payable with explicit interest rates,
approximates the carrying value due to the short-term maturity of such notes.(See note 16)
Derivatives financial instruments
The fair value is determined based on quotations provided by the financial institutions which
issued the financial instruments.

certain asset retirement activities when the right to perform mining activities is over. The
liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently adjusted for accretion expense and
changes in the amount or timing of the estimated cash flows. The corresponding asset retirement
costs are capitalized and for the operational assets are being depreciated over the related long-
lived asset's useful life by the unit of production method. The following table presents the
activity for the asset retirement obligations

(*) The subisidiaries Minerminas and TCS calculate income and social contribution taxes based
on presumed profit and recognized an expense the period. These Companies have chosen to use
an option of the Brazilian tax legislation to calculate the taxable income at 8% (12% for social
contribution tax) of the operating revenues plus 100% of other revenues. Under this regime
temporary differences cannot be used for income tax purposes and tax losses can not be
carryforward.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the
deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income. Management
considers that the subsidiaries will not generate future taxable income in the short-term, as from
the start up of its operations, in order to fully or partially recover such tax asset. As a result, a
100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset has been recorded.

General Meeting a proposal to partially spin off the Company, with transfer of part of its assets to
IronX, a joint stock corporation under Brazilian law presently in the process of going public,
according to the terms and conditions presented below ("Partial Spin-off").
MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. and subsidiaries
Consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
50
The Partial Spin-off of MMX comprised: (a) the conversion of part of the spun-off shareholders'
equity of MMX corresponding to its interest in LLX Logística to LLX Logística itself and, as a
result, the interest of MMX in LLX Logística being assigned directly to the current shareholders
of MMX, in the exact proportion of their interest in the capital stock of MMX and (b) the
conversion to IronX of part of the spun-off shareholders' equity of MMX corresponding: (i) to its
direct and indirect interests, as applicable, in MMX Minas-Rio, MMX Serro, Borbagato, MMX
Amapá, MMX Logística do Amapá, MMX Metálicos Amapá and Bay Service (all jointly
designated "Subsidiaries of IronX"); and (ii) other direct assets and obligations, resulting in a
capital increase of IronX with the consequent issuance of new shares by IronX, to be assigned to
the current shareholders of MMX, in proportion to their interest in the capital stock of MMX, on
the date of approval of the Partial Spin-off.
Ownership interest in subsidiaries MMX Corumbá, MMX Metálicos Corumbá and MMX
Sudeste and other assets remain as investments in MMX S.A.
By means of the partial spin-off, MMX shareholders became shareholders of two publicly-held
companies to be listed in the BOVESPA New Market, the IronX and LLX Logística, in addition
to MMX itself, which remained as a publicly-held company with shares listed in the BOVESPA
New Market.
The Partial Spin-off proposal was approved by the Boards of Directors of MMX, LLX Logística
and IronX ("Companies") in meetings held on April 7, 2008, at which the managements of the
Companies were authorized to sign the Protocol and Justification of Partial Spin-off of MMX
("Protocol"). The Protocol was signed by the managements of the Companies also on April 7,
2008.
As a result of the Partial Spin-off, the portion of spun-off shareholders' equity corresponding to
net assets of MMX transferred to LLX Logística for shares of LLX Logística (which shares were
delivered directly to the shareholders of MMX, in proportion to the interest held thereby in the
capital stock of MMX) is treated as a distribution to the shareholders of MMX for accounting
purposes.
In addition, as a result of the Partial Spin-off, certain assets and liabilities of MMX listed in the
Protocol were transferred to IronX, and new shares of IronX were issued to MMX. MMX
distributed these IronX shares to the current shareholders of MMX (shareholders on the date of
MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. and subsidiaries
Consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
51
approval of the Partial Spin-off), in proportion to the interest held thereby in the capital stock of
MMX. This has been accounted for as a distribution to the shareholders of MMX.
The base date for appraisal of the spun-off portions of net assets of MMX is December 31, 2007.
The appraisal was performed at book value, with a basis on the annual financial statements of
MMX brought up on December 31, 2007.
The equity variations of MMX occurring between December 31, 2007 and the date of the Partial
Spin-off were properly entered in the books by LLX Logística or by IronX, if said variations are
related to the portion of shareholders' equity of MMX converted to each one of these companies,
respectively, or (ii) withheld by MMX, if they are related to the assets that should remain with
this company.
The portion of shareholders' equity of MMX to be converted to LLX Logística was valued, under
the terms of articles 183 and 184 of Law nº. 6,404/76. As said portion is formed by the actual
interest held by MMX in LLX Logística, there was no capital increase in LLX Logística.
Immediately before the Partial Spin-off, at the same general meeting of shareholders' of LLX
Logística that decided on the split of the shares of LLX Logística, in the proportion of
59.4940978:1 and, as a result of this operation, the total number of shares of the LLX Logística
immediately before the Partial Spin-off was 358,364 book-entry nominative common shares with
no par value.
The existing shares of LLX, formerly held by MMX, after the split mentioned in item 1.1 above,
were delivered directly to the current shareholders of MMX in the proportion of 1 share of LLX
Logística to every 1 share of MMX.
The portion of shareholders' equity of MMX converted to IronX was valued, under the terms of
articles 183 and 184 of Law nº. 6,404/76 In this manner, with the approval of the Partial Spin-off,
the capital stock of IronX was increased through the issuance of 1,633,543,454 new nominative
common shares with no par value, of IronX, resulting in a total quantity of 1,633,544,254 shares
of IronX. Immediately after the aforesaid capital increase there was a reverse split of shares of
IronX in the proportion of 5.3627402647:1. As a result of the aforesaid reverse split of shares and
of the Partial Spin-off, if approved, the capital stock of IronX was be divided into 304,609,989
book-entry nominative common shares with no par value.

The shares of capital stock of IronX issued by IronX as a result of the abovementioned capital
increase and after the aforementioned reverse split of shares, were assigned directly to the current
shareholders of MMX, in the proportion of 1 share of IronX to every 1 share of MMX.
As a result of the partial spin-off, the capital stock of MMX and other shareholders' equity
accounts were decreased by a total amount of $776,724 (equivalent to R$1,037,873 thousands at
local books under the Brazilian GAAP).
The capital decrease of MMX does not imply a change in the quantity of shares into which this
capital is divided.
On June 19, 2008, MMX S.A, in compliance with the provisions of article 157, paragraph 4, of
Law No. 6404/76 and CVM instructions No. 319/99 and 358/02, informs that its shareholders
had approved, in an Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on that day, a spin-
off of the Company with transfer of portions of its assets to IronX and to LLX Logística, under
the terms and conditions described in the Significant Matter Notice published by the Company on
April 8, 2008, and in accordance with the Partial Spint-Off Justification and Protocol
("Protocol").

Share-based options plans
Equity plan
In order to encourage increased performance by the Company's top executives, in June and in
March 2007, the controlling shareholder granted 200.581 call options (16.046.480 after all
regular and reverse splits) for shares of MMX belonging to him, on behalf of 7 Company officers
and 20 of the main managers. This granting of options by the Company's controlling shareholder
represents a mechanism of remuneration and retention, for the period of five years, of the
Company's officers and executives, without implying any cost or dilution to the minority
shareholders of the Company. The contribution of the shares by the controller shareholder has
been accounted for as capital contribution. On behalf of the officers, the controlling shareholder
granted options for them to acquire globally over 5.5% of his own shares. The options granted to
these officers can be exercised in a period varying from immediately to 6 years after the initial
public offering of the Company. The beneficiaries of the option will be subject to the sale
restrictions described in the Final Prospectus of the primary public offering of shares of the
MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. and subsidiaries

Company, filed with the CVM on July 21, 2006, which forbids the sale of shares for a 3-year
period, beginning from the date of the public offering, except if they obtain express authorization
of the Company's controlling shareholder.
The price per share in the public offering, of R$10,1875 (equivalent to $4.3592), and that can be
exercised mainly in the proportion of 20% at each one of the first 5 anniversaries of the public
offering.
As the above described stock-based awards have a graded-vesting and the vesting is based only
on a service condition, the Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for the awards
over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the awards as if the
awards, is in-substance, multiple awards.
In the spin off transaction, the equity sock compensation awards of MMX were not modified,
however each holder of an equity award was granted an additional equity stock compensation
award of each Iron X and LLX. These additional awards represent the grant of awards and
represent a modification that were accounted for as compensation or service cost.
The stock-based awards had their fair value based on the following assumptions:

Expected term - The Company's expected term represents the period that the Company's stock-
based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on expected experience
of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share-based awards,
vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the
terms of its share-based awards.
Expected volatility - The Company uses the trading history and implied volatility of the stocks of
similar mining companies (as the recent public offering at July 21, 2006) in determining an
estimated volatility factor when using option-pricing formula to determine the fair value of
options granted.
Expected dividend - The Company has not declared dividends. Therefore, the Company uses a
zero value for the expected dividend value factor when using the option-pricing formula to
determine the fair value of options granted.
Risk-free interest rate - The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the share
option is based on the Brazilian Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Estimated forfeitures - When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary and
involuntary termination behavior as well as analysis of actual option forfeitures.
As required by SFAS 123(R), the Company made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is
recognizing compensation cost only for those equity awards expected to vest. As of June31,
2009, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards granted to employees
under the Company's stock option plans but not yet recognized was $10,508, net of estimated
forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on straight-line basis over a weighted average term of
1.59 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. A summary of
share option activity under the Plan as of June 30, 2009 is presented as follows:

Liability plan
In addition to this remuneration mechanism, the Company, in an Extraordinary General Meeting
held on April 28, 2006, approved a company issued share call option program. According to the
share call option program, the Board of Directors can grant share call options on behalf of
officers, executives and associates of the Company that represent no more than 1% of the shares
in circulation. However, at the same General Meeting of Shareholders, it was determined that the
Board would not grant any share call options in the fiscal year of 2006, whereas the only share
call options to be granted were on behalf of seven of the full members of the Board of Directors
and to one advisor of the Board of Directors. All participants already have the mutual
understanding of such share option granting. The Company granted 1,712,000 call options of
shares (originally 21,400 before all splits occurred) that have a financial fair value at the granting
date of July 21, 2006 amounting to US$5,135, which may be exercised in the proportion of 20%
at each of the first 5 anniversaries of the Offering, at a current average strike price equivalent to
$0.25 per share, adjusted by IPCA - inflation index up to the exercising date.
As the above described stock-based awards have a graded-vesting and the vesting is based only
on a service condition, the Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for the awards
over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the awards as if the
awards, is in-substance, multiple awards.
Considering the provisions of SFAS 123R, the option price contains an inflation index (IPCA),
which is considered to be an "other condition". As a result, the Company accounts for this option
plan as a liability plan.
The fair value of stock-based awards was estimated based on the following assumptions for
period ended June 30, 2009:
Expected annual volatility

Subsequent events
a.
MMX filed an application to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada
On July 24, 2009, the Company filed an application with the Ontario Securities Commission
("OSC") to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada, after its voluntary delisting from the Toronto
Stock Exchange ("TSX") in November 2008.
If the application isapproved by the OSC, the Company will no longer be a reporting issuer in
any jurisdiction in Canada. Therefore, the Company will no longer be obliged to file and disclose
financial statements and the other documents required by Canadian regulatory authorities. This
decision will not affect the listing of its shares on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA)
and, just like the other shareholders of the Company, Canadian shareholders will continue to have
access to financial statements and other documents disclosed.
b.
MMX announces its new CEO
On August 3, 2009 MMX disclosed to its shareholders and the market in general a change in the
members of its Executive Committee, as approved in the Board of Directors' meeting which
appointed Roger Allan Downey as MMX'x new chief executive Officer, in the office held by
Eike Batista who was doubling as CEO and the Company's Chairman of the Board.
Roger Downey was formerly at Credit Suisse, where he was in charge covering the mining and
steel businesses in Latin America since 2005. Prior to that, he worked during 14 years in the
mining industry and was active in sales, marketing, new business, and strategy involving the
major world producers of iron ore, such as Companhia Vale do Rio Doce and Rio Tinto.
Chequer Hanna Bou-Habib, who held the posts of Commercial Director and Investor Relations
Executive Officer, will remain as Commercial Director.

LLX gets an installation license for the Southeastern Port
On August 3, MMX informed that LLX subsidiary, LLX Southeast, got the Installation License
for construction of the Southeastern Port, a port terminal with the capacity to move 50 million
tons of iron ore per year. The Installation License is a condition for beginning port construction,
which should occur during the second semester of 2009.
The Southeastern Port, located in the municipality of Itaguaí, 80 km from the city of Rio de
Janeiro, and only 4 km from the MRS railroad grid, will be the main route for exporting iron ore
produced at the MMX Southeastern System mines in Minas Gerais. The long-term contract with
LLX for storing and handling iron ore at the Southeastern Port has already been signed and it
projects the flow of all production destined for exportation from the MMX Southeastern System.
The MMX Southeastern System, together with LLX's Southeastern Port, constitutes an integrated
and competitive solution in Brazil, gathering high quality iron ore and independent, efficient and
safe logistics for exportation.

Summary of principal differences between Canadian and USGAAP
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). Material
variations in the accounting principles, practices and methods used in preparing these
consolidated financial statements from principles, practices and methods accepted by generally
accepted accounting principles in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") are described below.

a.
Description of GAAP differences
(i) Mineral properties
Under US GAAP, acquisition costs and exploration costs must be expensed as incurred
unless the resource properties have proven and probable reserves at which time costs
incurred to bring the mine into production are capitalized as development costs.
Under Canadian GAAP, resource property acquisition costs and exploration costs may
be deferred and amortized to the extent they meet certain criteria. The accounting
practice adopted by the Company under Canadian GAAP is to expense exploration costs
as incurred.
(ii) Pre-operating costs
US GAAP requires pre-operating costs to be expensed as incurred.
Canadian GAAP allows pre-operating costs to be capitalized until commercial
production is established. The accounting practice adopted by the Company under
Canadian GAAP is to expense pre-operating costs as incurred.
(iii) Stock options
U.S. GAAP requires stock option compensation awards that contain other condition,
such as inflation, to be recognized as liability awards and remeasured at each reporting
period.
Canadian GAAP requires such award to be classified as equity and its compensation
cost determined only at the grant date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, ``Goodwill and Intangible Assets''
(``Section 3064'') which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. Section 3064
establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of
goodwill and intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this standard.

Financial instruments -Disclosure and Presentation
In December 2006, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA")
published the following two sections of the CICA Handbook: Section 3862 Financial
Instruments- Disclosures and Section 3863, Financial Instruments-Presentation.
These standards introduce disclosure and presentation requirements that will enabled
financial statements' users to evaluate, and enhance their understanding of, the
significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position, performance
and cash flows, and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments
to which the entity is exposed, and how those risks are managed. The Company
adopted this standard in the 2008 fiscal year. See Note 7 for additional details.
·
Capital Disclosures
In December 2006, the CICA published section 1535 of the Handbook, Capital
disclosures, which requires disclosure of (i) an entity's objectives, policies and
processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as
capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; (iv) if it
has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance. This information will
enable financial statements' users to evaluate the entity's objectives, policies and
processes for managing capital.
·
Inventories
In January 2007, the CICA published section 3031 of the Handbook, Inventories,
which prescribes the accounting treatment for inventories. Section 3031 provides
guidance on determination of costs and its subsequent recognition as an expense, and
provides guidance on the cost formulas used to assign costs to inventories. The
Company concluded that was no impact of these new recommendations on its
financial statements on January 1, 2008, the date of adoption.
