Amongst the Lowest Cost Producers in the World Trona Based Production is Significantly Cost Advantaged As a producer of natural soda ash from trona, Ciner Wyoming has a significant cost advantage compared to synthetic producers of soda ash Trona-based production consumes less energy and produces fewer undesirable by-products than synthetic production Synthetic producers incur additional costs associated with the storage, disposal, or attempted resale of byproducts Even accounting for higher freight and logistics costs, Ciner Wyoming is cost competitive with synthetic soda ash producers to most export markets around the world Ciner Wyoming consistently operates at high utilization rates and routinely sells 100% of its production Lowest-Cost Production Process Process Raw Materials Energy Usage By- Products Relative Soda Ash Production Costs U.S. Trona Solvay Hou Mining and refining trona Trona 4 6 MMBtu / ton Deca (able to process into soda ash) 1/3~1/2 cost of competing processes 1 1.0x U.S. Trona (Natural Gas) Synthetic production Salt (brine), Limestone, Ammonia 10 14 MMBtu / ton Calcium Chloride (waste product) 2.5x European Solvay 2.1x China Solvay Synthetic production Salt (brine), Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide 10 14 MMBtu / ton Ammonium Chloride (co-product) 3.6x China Hou Trona-based production is one-third to one-half the cost of synthetic production Source: IHS and Ciner estimates 9
Trona Beds Closest to the Surface Beds 24 & 25 (closest to surface) are the key for lower manufacturing costs as lower halite impurities and shallow beds are conducive to efficient mining Schematic Section Green River Basin 10
Unique Pond Network Lowers Ore to Ash Ratio Wider pond surface area and a unique pond network facilitate the minimization of soda ash lost in processing Trona Advantageous Facility Layout Ponds enable Ciner to recover soda ash via deca rehydration otherwise lost in processing Trona Technological innovation enables Ciner to be more cost efficient Ore to Ash Ratio (1) 1.80 1.74 1.61 1.60 1.56 1.59 1.52 1.52 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 (1) Amount of short tons of Trona ore required to produce one short ton of soda ash/liquor 11

Non-GAAP Reconciliation Ciner Resources LP Quarter Ended 12/31/15 Quarter Ended 12/31/14 Net Income $28.3 $27.6 Add: Depreciation, depletion and amortization 6.6 5.9 Interest expense (net) 1.0 1.3 Loss on Disposal of Assets (net) - - Adjusted EBITDA 35.9 34.8 Less: Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest 18.0 17.5 Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Ciner Resources LP $17.9 $17.3 Non-GAAP Financial Measures We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization and certain other expenses that are non-cash charges or that we consider not to be indicative of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-gaap supplemental financial liquidity and performance measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess: our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in our industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods; the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders; our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and the viability of capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in this investor presentation provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and cash flow from operations. Our non-gaap financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some but not all items that affect net income and cash flows from operations. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies, including those in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. 18

In certain instances, the timing of the Partnership s borrowings and/or its cash management practices will result in a mismatch between the period of the borrowing and the period of the capital expenditure. In those instances, the Partnership adjusts designated reserves (as provided in the partnership agreement) to take account of the timing difference. Accordingly, expansion-related capital expenditures have been excluded from the presentation of cash available for distribution. 20
