As of December 31, 2010, we operated 144 cement raw materials quarries across our global operations, serving our facilities<br />
dedicated to cement production, which are located at or near the cement plant facilities. We estimate that our proven and probable<br />
cement raw material reserves, on a consolidated basis, have an average remaining life of approximately 58 years, assuming 2006-2010<br />
average annual cement production (last five years average production).<br />
The table set forth below presents our total permitted proven and probable cement raw materials reserves by geographic segment<br />
and material type extracted or produced in our cement raw materials quarries operations.<br />
