<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In a meeting on March 13, 2022, the Board of Directors of Rio Tinto determined, in light of several factors, including the substantial funding requirements
for the underground project at the Oyu Tolgoi mine which is majority-owned by the Company, that Rio Tinto would seek to acquire the share capital in the Company that is not owned by Rio Tinto. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March 13, 2022, RTIH submitted a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding</FONT> proposal (the &#147;<U>Proposal Letter</U>&#148;) to the board of
directors of the Company (the &#147;<U>Board</U>&#148;) for a transaction in which Rio Tinto would acquire all of the outstanding share capital in the Company that is not owned by Rio Tinto, which would have the effect of taking the Company private.
As described in the Proposal Letter, RTIH or an affiliate thereof proposes to acquire all of the outstanding Shares of the Company not already owned directly or indirectly by Rio Tinto for a price per Share of C$34.00 in cash (the &#147;<U>Proposed
Acquisition</U>&#148;). As described in the Proposal Letter, the proposal set forth therein (the &#147;<U>Proposal</U>&#148;) asked that the Company promptly engage an independent valuator as required under Canadian securities law for such a
transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described in the Proposal Letter, the entering into of the Proposed Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including, among

assurances can be given that a definitive transaction documents with respect to the Proposed Acquisition will be entered into, as to the final terms of any agreed transaction or that a transaction will be consummated. On March 14, 2022, Rio Tinto
also issued a press release (the &#147;<U>Press Release</U>&#148;) in connection with the Proposal Letter. Among other things, the Proposal Letter clarified Rio Tinto&#146;s intention that it was not interested in pursuing any alternative
transaction, including any such transaction that would result in a sale of Rio Tinto&#146;s interest in the Company or the acquisition by a third party of the Company or the Oyu Tolgoi project in partnership with or independent of Rio Tinto. </P>

Acquisition; otherwise seek control or seek to influence the management and policies of the Issuer; or change their intentions with respect to any such matters. </P>

(&#147;Turquoise Hill&#148;) and the Government of Mongolia achieved a significant milestone in the development of Oyu Tolgoi and a reset of the relationship, which was announced on 24 January 2022 (the &#147;Reset Announcement&#148;). This was made
possible by the collective and constructive efforts of the Government of Mongolia, Turquoise Hill and Rio Tinto in agreeing a path forward that enabled commencement of the underground mine at Oyu Tolgoi. This success has been reflected in the 34%
increase in Turquoise Hill&#146;s share price since this announcement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Despite having achieved this milestone, Oyu Tolgoi still requires substantial
funding in order to complete the underground project. Turquoise Hill&#146;s minority shareholders face the inherent uncertainties and risks associated with the development and funding of a large mining project such as Oyu Tolgoi. Rio Tinto has
concluded that the most efficient way to deliver on these funding obligations is to take Turquoise Hill private and Rio Tinto International Holdings Limited is submitting this non-binding Proposal to acquire the approximately 49% of Turquoise Hill
held by minority shareholders (the &#147;Proposed Transaction&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Proposed Transaction would deliver compelling value for Turquoise Hill minority
shareholders and provide the certainty of an all cash offer, at a substantial premium. At the same time, the Proposed Transaction would result in Mongolia benefiting from a simpler and more efficient ownership structure for Oyu Tolgoi and greater
certainty on funding of the underground mine at Oyu Tolgoi. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The principal terms of our Proposal are set out below. We welcome the opportunity to commence
collaborative and constructive discussions on our Proposal with you at your convenience. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Details of the Proposed Transaction </B></P>

Co as our financial advisors and have the internal resources in place to diligently implement the Proposed Transaction. While we are interested in pursuing the Proposed Transaction, Rio Tinto is not interested in pursuing any alternative

obligations or commitments in respect of the Proposed Transaction will be contained only in definitive transaction documents, which would be valid and binding only if and when executed in writing and delivered by each of Rio Tinto and Turquoise
Hill. As I am sure you are aware, Rio Tinto as a significant shareholder in Turquoise Hill is obligated to disclose this Proposal under applicable securities law. It will be attached to Rio Tinto&#146;s amended Schedule 13D, which will be filed
before the open of business in North America on Monday and in advance of that filing being made will be described in announcements to the London Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange filed at 7am London time on Monday. Rio Tinto does
not believe that applicable securities law requires Turquoise Hill to announce the Proposal ahead of those filings. If Turquoise Hill intends to make any announcement prior to that time, we ask that Turquoise Hill gives us prior notice. </P>

approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Turquoise Hill that Rio Tinto does not currently own (the &#147;Proposed Transaction&#148;). Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, Turquoise Hill minority shareholders would receive
C$34 in cash per Turquoise Hill share, representing a premium of 32% to Turquoise Hill&#146;s last closing share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange. This proposal would value the Turquoise Hill minority share capital at approximately
US$2.7&nbsp;billion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Proposed Transaction follows the recent comprehensive agreement reached between Rio Tinto, Turquoise Hill and the Government of
Mongolia to move the Oyu Tolgoi project forward, reset the relationship between the partners and approve commencement of underground operations. It would simplify the Oyu Tolgoi ownership structure, strengthen Rio Tinto&#146;s copper portfolio, and
reinforce its long-term commitment to Mongolia. In addition, the Proposed Transaction provides Turquoise Hill minority shareholders with the ability to realise compelling, immediate and certain value for their shares at a time when uncertainties
inherent in the development of the underground operations and funding of such development remain. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said
&#147;Rio Tinto strongly believes in the long-term success of Oyu Tolgoi and Mongolia, and delivering for all stakeholders over the long-term. That is why we want to increase our interest in Oyu Tolgoi, simplify the ownership structure, and further
strengthen Rio Tinto&#146;s copper portfolio. We believe the terms of proposal are compelling for Turquoise Hill shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The Proposed
Transaction would enable Rio Tinto to work directly with the Government of Mongolia to move the Oyu Tolgoi project forward with a simpler and more efficient ownership and governance structure. With our relationship reset and the underground
operations commenced, this transaction demonstrates our clear and unequivocal long-term commitment to Mongolia.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rio Tinto looks forward to working
constructively with the Turquoise Hill Board to progress the Proposed Transaction. Should Turquoise Hill investors not accept the Proposed Transaction, Rio Tinto welcomes their continued investment and equal share of future risks and funding
obligations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rio Tinto&#146;s proposal to the Turquoise Hill Board will be filed promptly with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations in the United States. The Proposed Transaction, which is expected to be conducted by way of a Canadian plan of arrangement, will be subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by a majority of the
votes cast by Turquoise Hill minority shareholders. The Proposed Transaction is not subject to any financing condition or due diligence. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No agreement has
been reached between Rio Tinto and Turquoise Hill, and there can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions. Even if a transaction is agreed, there can be no assurances as to its terms, structure or timing. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Given Rio Tinto&#146;s approximately 51% ownership in Turquoise Hill, the Proposed Transaction will be required to follow the rules set out in Canadian
Multilateral Instrument <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">61-101</FONT> &#150; Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions. This will require, among other things, a Special Committee of the Turquoise Hill Board, which will not include
any Rio Tinto nominees, to assess the terms of the Proposed Transaction. As part of that assessment the Special Committee will need to obtain a formal valuation of the common shares in Turquoise Hill by an independent valuator. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With the Special Committee&#146;s support, and after completion of the independent valuation and agreement between Rio Tinto and Turqouise Hill on the terms
and conditions of the transaction, Turquoise Hill will schedule a meeting of its shareholders to approve the transaction. The transaction must be approved by a vote by (i)&nbsp;holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Turquoise Hill shares, and (ii)&nbsp;a
majority of the Turquoise Hill minority shareholders, in each case of those shares voted at the meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Proposed Transaction is successful Rio
