Notification of Major Interest in Shares

Following the announcement released under RNS No 3917T on 21 March 2002 at 16:51
we yesterday received a notification from Cater Allen International Limited
("CAIL") pursuant to Part VI of the Companies Act 1985 advising Anglo American
plc that the percentage of ordinary shares held by them had been incorrectly "
..... calculated on a total issued share capital of 408,000,000 instead of
1,467,432,000". CAIL's interest in the issued ordinary shares of Anglo American
plc is therefore below 3 per cent and not above 4.5 per cent as previously
advised.
