Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2022

Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American , said: "Our production performance started to pick up in the second quarter of 2022, with operational momentum and our focus on asset resilience positioning us well for a stronger second half of the year. Full year production guidance is unchanged for PGMs, copper and iron ore, increased for diamonds and decreased for steelmaking coal due to longwall ramp-up timing. Overall for the second quarter, production was 9%⁽¹⁾ lower compared with the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to expected lower grades and water availability in Copper, ramp-up of the Aquila longwall in Steelmaking Coal and planned maintenance at the Minas-Rio iron ore operation.

"Our newly commissioned Quellaveco project in Peru delivered first copper concentrate at the start of July and will contribute to our copper production in the second half. This marks a major milestone in our delivery of this world-class long life asset, on time and on budget - testament to the incredible efforts of our workforce and wider stakeholders through the effects of a global pandemic. Quellaveco is expected to add around 10% to our global output once fully operational, central to the margin-enhancing organic growth we are delivering in future-enabling metals and minerals over the next decade.

"As we strive to further enhance Anglo American's investment case, we are committed to delivering many of the raw materials that are critical to the decarbonisation of global energy and transport systems and to do so sustainably, in line with the evolving expectations of our stakeholders. We are progressing towards our stretching sustainability targets on all fronts. During the quarter, we unveiled the world's largest hydrogen-powered haul truck, part of our nuGen™ Zero Emission Haulage Solution. This world-first technology at such scale is a vital step towards our commitment to carbon neutrality across our operations by 2040. Our agreement to combine nuGen^TM with our engineering partner, First Mode, is designed to accelerate the commercialisation and deployment of this technology across the mining industry and other transport applications."

Q2 2022 highlights

• Rough diamond production decreased by 4%, reflecting lower grades in Canada and Botswana. Production guidance is increased to 32-34 million carats (previously 30-33 million carats) due to robust demand and strong year-to-date operational performance.

• Metal in concentrate production from our Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) operations was broadly flat, with strong performances at Unki and Mototolo offsetting planned lower grades at Mogalakwena. Unit cost guidance is reduced to c.$950/PGM ounce (previously c.$970/PGM ounce), reflecting the weaker South African rand.

• Copper production decreased by 21% due to planned lower grades and water availability.

• Iron ore production decreased by 8% after a safety intervention at Kumba's Kolomela mine, as well as planned maintenance at Minas-Rio.

• Steelmaking coal production decreased by 12% as the replacement Aquila longwall ramped up following the planned end of production from Grasstree, as well as high rainfall impacting the open pit operations. Full year guidance is revised to 15-17 million tonnes (previously 17-19 million tonnes) and unit cost revised to c.$110/tonne (previously c.$105/tonne).

Rough diamond production decreased by 4% to 7.9 million carats, primarily due to the treatment of lower grade ore at operations in both Canada and Botswana.

In Botswana, production decreased by 4% to 5.5 million carats due to lower grade ore being processed at both Jwaneng and Orapa.

Namibia production increased by 67% to 0.6 million carats, primarily driven by continued strong performance from the Benguela Gem since the early delivery of the new diamond recovery vessel in Q1 2022.

South Africa production decreased by 4% to 1.2 million carats due to lower tonnes treated.

Production in Canada decreased by 28% to 0.6 million carats due to treating lower grade ore, unscheduled plant maintenance and the impact of Covid-19 related absenteeism.

Strong demand for rough diamonds continued into the second quarter, with rough diamond sales totalling 9.4 million carats (8.3 million carats on a consolidated basis)⁽²⁾ from three Sights, compared with 7.3 million carats (6.5 million carats on a consolidated basis)⁽²⁾ from two Sights in Q2 2021 and 7.9 million carats (7.0 million carats on a consolidated basis)⁽²⁾ from two Sights in Q1 2022, both of which benefited from strong demand recovery following the impact of Covid-19 in 2020. While consumer demand for natural diamonds continued to be robust in the first half, a deterioration of global macro-economic conditions and reduced consumer spending could impact demand for diamond jewellery. Despite this, the combination of ongoing sanctions against Russia, decisions from a number of US-based jewellery businesses to apply their own restrictions on purchases of Russian diamonds, and continued development of provenance initiatives (such as the Tracr^TM blockchain platform) has the potential to underpin continued robust demand for De Beers' rough diamonds.

The H1 2022 consolidated average realised price increased by 58% to $213/ct (H1 2021: $135/ct), driven by a larger proportion of higher value rough diamonds sold, as well as higher prices. The rough price index increased by 28% compared to H1 2021, reflecting positive consumer demand for diamond jewellery as well as tightness in inventories across the diamond value chain.

2022 Guidance

(1)  Copper production shown on a contained metal basis. Reflects copper production from the Copper operations in Chile only (excludes copper production from the Platinum Group Metals business unit).

Chile - Copper production decreased by 21% to 133,900 tonnes due to planned lower grades and lower water availability.

Production from Los Bronces decreased by 24% to 64,300 tonnes due to planned lower grades (0.57% vs 0.68%) as well as lower ore processed (12.0 million tonnes vs 13.2 million tonnes) due to the impact of expected low water availability.

At Collahuasi, attributable production decreased by 16% to 62,100 tonnes driven by planned lower grades (1.10% vs 1.29%).

Production from El Soldado decreased by 32% to 7,500 tonnes due to planned lower grades (0.50% vs 0.75%).

Chile's central zone continues to face severe drought conditions, with the two years to June 2022 being the driest since records began, and the outlook continues to remain very dry. Various management initiatives to improve water efficiency and secure alternative sources of water continue to partly mitigate the impact on production.

The H1 2022 average realised price of 401c/lb, includes 145,900 tonnes of copper provisionally priced on 30 June at an average of 374 c/lb.

Peru - First production of copper concentrate from the Quellaveco project was achieved at the start of Q3 2022, marking a major milestone ahead of receiving final regulatory clearance for commercial operations to begin.

2022 Guidance

Production guidance for 2022 is unchanged at 660,000-750,000 tonnes (Chile 560,000-600,000 tonnes; Peru 100,000-150,000 tonnes). Production is subject to the extent of further Covid-19 related disruptions, water availability in Chile and, in Peru, progress on ramp-up of operations.

Unit cost guidance for 2022 is unchanged at c.147c/lb (Chile c.150c/lb; Peru c.135c/lb). This guidance is subject to the impact of water availability on production volumes in Chile, and progressing the ramp-up of production volumes in Peru.

Metal in concentrate production

Own mined production decreased by 3% to 686,300 ounces, primarily due to lower production at Mogalakwena, which was nearly offset by strong performances at Unki and Mototolo. Production at Mogalakwena decreased by 15% to 261,400 ounces as a result of mining in a lower grade area in line with the mine plan, leading to an 11% reduction in grade. This was partially offset by a 38% increase in production at Unki to 66,300 ounces following the debottlenecking project at the concentrator, completed in Q4 2021, as well as higher grade. Production at Mototolo increased by 26%, also reflecting the benefit of a concentrator debottlenecking project completed in Q2 2021, as well as higher grade. Amandelbult production was broadly flat at 183,400 ounces. Joint operations decreased by 8% to 99,600 ounces, due to areas of Kroondal coming to the end of life and lower grade, partially offset by higher production from Modikwa.

Purchase of concentrate was broadly flat at 345,200 ounces.

Refined production

Refined production decreased by 8% to 1,240,600 ounces, due to more normalised throughput, as Q2 2021 benefited from processing higher than normal work-in-progress inventory following the ACP Phase A rebuild and commissioning in Q4 2020.

Sales

Sales volumes decreased by 16%, in line with refined production.

The H1 2022 average realised basket price of $2,671/PGM ounce reflects lower market prices, largely offset by a more normal sales mix compared to H1 2021 which saw elevated sales volumes of lower priced ruthenium.

2022 Guidance

Production guidance (metal in concentrate) for 2022 is unchanged at 3.9-4.3 million ounces⁽¹⁾. Refined production guidance for 2022 is unchanged at 4.0-4.4 million ounces, subject to the potential impact of Eskom load-shedding. Both are subject to the extent of further Covid-19 related disruption.

2022 unit cost guidance is revised to c.$950/PGM ounce (previously c.$970/PGM ounce), reflecting the weaker South African rand.

(1)  Metal in concentrate production is expected to be 1.8-2.0 million ounces of platinum, 1.2-1.3 million ounces of palladium and 0.9-1.0 million ounces of other PGMs and gold. With own-mined output accounting for ~65%.

(1)  Total iron ore is the sum of Kumba and Minas-Rio.

(2)  Volumes are reported as wet metric tonnes. Product is shipped with ~1.6% moisture.

(3)      Volumes are reported as wet metric tonnes. Product is shipped with ~9% moisture.

Iron ore production decreased by 8% to 14.4 million tonnes, due to a 4% decrease at Kumba and a 17% decrease at Minas-Rio.

Kumba - Total production decreased by 4% to 9.5 million tonnes, as a 3% increase at Sishen to 7.1 million tonnes was more than offset by a 20% decrease at Kolomela to 2.4 million tonnes, reflecting the impact of a safety intervention.

Total sales increased by 10% to 10.3 million tonnes⁽¹⁾, reflecting improved logistics performance and the drawdown of finished stock to 4.5 million tonnes⁽¹⁾ to supplement lower production.

Kumba's iron (Fe) content averaged 64.0% (H1 2021: 64.1%), while the average lump:fines ratio was 66:34 (H1 2021: 69:31).

The H1 2022 average realised price of $135/tonne⁽¹⁾ (FOB South Africa, wet basis), was 14% higher than the 62% Fe benchmark price of $118/tonne (FOB South Africa, adjusted for freight and moisture), reflecting the lump and Fe content quality premiums that the Kumba products attract, partly offset by timing on provisionally priced volumes.

Minas-Rio - Production decreased by 17% to 4.9 million tonnes, principally due to a 20-day planned maintenance carried out in Q2 2022.

The H1 2022 average realised price of $134/tonne (FOB Brazil, wet basis) was higher than the Metal Bulletin 66 price of $133/tonne (FOB Brazil, adjusted for freight and moisture), principally reflecting the premium quality of the product, including higher (~67%) Fe content, partly offset by timing on provisionally priced volumes.

2022 Guidance

Production guidance (wet basis) for 2022 is unchanged at 60-64 million tonnes (Kumba 38-40 million tonnes; Minas-Rio 22-24 million tonnes). Both are subject to the extent of further Covid-19 related disruption and Kumba is subject to third party rail and port performance as well as weather related disruptions.

Unit cost guidance (wet basis) for 2022 is unchanged at c.$40/tonne (Kumba c.$44/tonne; Minas-Rio c.$32/tonne).

(1)  Sales volumes, stock and realised price are reported on a wet basis and differ to Kumba's standalone results due to sales to other Group companies.

(1)  Anglo American's attributable share of production.

Export steelmaking coal production decreased by 12% to 2.6 million tonnes, primarily due to the planned end of production at the Grasstree operation in January 2022 and record unseasonal rainfall in May 2022 at the open pit operations. This was partly offset by the ramp-up of the new Aquila longwall operation, which replaces Grasstree, following commencement of operations in February 2022, as well as the ramp-up of the Grosvenor longwall operation following its restart in February 2022. Covid-19 related absenteeism and tight labour markets also continued to weigh on production.

Longwall mining restarted at Moranbah in the next longwall panel on 28 May 2022, following a fatal incident on 25 March 2022 and an extended longwall move.

The ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was 81:19, higher than in Q2 2021 (78:22), primarily due to the restart of operations at Grosvenor, which produces premium quality hard coking coal.

The H1 2022 average realised price for hard coking coal was $407/tonne, and the index price was $467/tonne. The price realisation decreased to 87% (H1 2021: 89%) due to a lower contribution of premium hard coking coal from the Grasstree operation.

2022 Guidance

Production guidance for 2022 is revised to 15-17 million tonnes (previously 17-19 million tonnes), subject to the extent of further unseasonal wet weather, continued tight labour markets and Covid-19 related disruptions.

2022 unit cost guidance is revised to c.$110/tonne (previously c.$105/tonne), reflecting the impact of lower volumes.

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditure increased by 30% to $87 million. Exploration expenditure increased by 68% to $42 million, principally reflecting timing of drilling schedules and the recovery from the Covid-19 disruptions in 2021 impacting greenfield base metals exploration and near-mine iron ore exploration. Evaluation expenditure increased by 7% to $45 million, driven by continued easing of Covid-19 restrictions.

Corporate and other activities

During the first half of 2022, the Group finalised the Grosvenor gas ignition insurance claim, resulting in a one-off benefit of $0.3 billion to the Steelmaking Coal EBITDA and an offsetting expense within the Corporate and other segment.

Notes

• This Production Report for the quarter ended 30 June 2022 is unaudited.

• Production figures are sometimes more precise than the rounded numbers shown in this Production Report.

• Copper equivalent production shows changes in underlying production volume. It is calculated by expressing each product's volume as revenue, subsequently converting the revenue into copper equivalent units by dividing by the copper price (per tonne). Long-term forecast prices are used, in order that period-on-period comparisons exclude any impact for movements in price.
