Rule 13p-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1) for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2017.

Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
|
Item 1.01:
|
Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
|
Rule 13p-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, generally provides that a company must file this specialized disclosure report if it manufactures
or contracts to manufacture products for which one or more of the following minerals are necessary to the functionality or production
of the company’s products:
cassiterite;
columbite-tantalite (coltan); and wolframite; their
derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten; and gold (collectively, “
3TGs
”). These are considered “conflict
minerals” under Rule 13p-1 regardless of their geographic origin and whether or not they fund armed conflict in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo or its neighboring countries (the “
covered countries
”).
ArcelorMittal (together
with its consolidated subsidiaries, “
ArcelorMittal
” or the “
Company
”) is the world’s
leading integrated steel and mining company. ArcelorMittal produces flat steel products, including sheet and plate, long steel
products, including bars, rods and structural shapes, as well as pipes and tubes for various applications. ArcelorMittal sells
its steel products primarily in local markets and through its centralized marketing organization to a diverse range of customers
including the automotive, appliance, engineering, construction and machinery industries. The Company also produces various types
of mining products including iron ore lump, fines, concentrate and sinter feed, as well as coking, PCI and thermal coal.
Only a very limited
number of the Company’s approximately 2,000 steel products contain 3TGs, and the only 3TGs included in the Company’s
steel products are tin and tungsten. These 3TGs are necessary to the functionality or production of those products (collectively,
the “
covered products
”). ArcelorMittal does not directly purchase 3TGs, nor does it have any direct relationship
with
any
mines or smelters that process these minerals.
As specified under
Rule 13p-1, ArcelorMittal conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“
RCOI
”) that it believes
was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the necessary 3TGs contained in its products originated in the covered countries
or were from recycled or scrap sources. ArcelorMittal based its RCOI on the principles set forth in the OECD’s Due Diligence
Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. In conducting the RCOI, ArcelorMittal
required its 2017 suppliers of materials for covered products to complete a detailed questionnaire, using the conflict minerals
reporting template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (formerly the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative), concerning
their manufacturing practices and the materials they supply to ArcelorMittal. All of the Company’s 2017 suppliers of materials
for covered products
provided the required information and informed ArcelorMittal that either none
of the 3TGs contained in materials supplied to ArcelorMittal were sourced from any covered countries or the 3TGs came from recycled
or scrap sources.
Based on the RCOI,
ArcelorMittal has no reason to believe that any of the necessary 3TGs contained in the covered products originated in the covered
countries, and determined that some of its necessary 3TGs came from recycled or scrap sources. The information in this Form SD
also is publicly available on the Company’s website at
