Anglo American plc
Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2025
Duncan Wanblad, CEO of Anglo American, said: "I am pleased to report another
solid quarter in Copper and Iron Ore, with both businesses tracking to
guidance. In Copper, we benefited from strong performance at both Quellaveco
and Los Bronces, while Collahuasi improved from its first quarter. In Iron
Ore, our focus on operational excellence is also continuing to drive the right
results with another excellent quarter of delivery from both Minas-Rio and
Kumba.
"We continue to progress with our portfolio simplification as we reshape our
business for the longer term - and our reorganisation and cost reduction
programmes are on track. The demerger of Valterra Platinum at the end of May
has been a great success with considerable value unlocked for shareholders,
and we are continuing to progress the nickel and steelmaking coal
transactions. A formal process for the sale of De Beers is advancing, despite
the current challenging market conditions. In Steelmaking Coal, good progress
has been made at Moranbah following the event on 31 March, with a full restart
expected in due course. On this basis, we continue to believe that this event
does not constitute a material adverse change under our agreements with
Peabody.
"Looking beyond this transitionary year, we will emerge as a highly
differentiated, higher margin and more cash generative business setting us up
to deliver the outstanding potential of our world class assets and resource
endowments."

• Copper production was 173,300 tonnes, reflecting higher production from
Quellaveco in Peru as a result of higher plant throughput, offset by planned
lower production in Chile, which resulted in a 11% decrease year-on-year.
Quarter-on-quarter, production is 3% higher, largely due to improved
performance from Collahuasi.
• Iron ore production increased by 2% to 15.9 million tonnes, primarily
driven by strong performance at Minas-Rio.
• Manganese ore production increased by 109% to 745,600 tonnes, primarily
due to the resumption of mining activities at the Australian operations
following the damage caused by a tropical cyclone in March 2024. Export sales
resumed progressively from the second half of May.
• Rough diamond production decreased by 36% to 4.1 million carats,
reflecting the continued production response to the prolonged period of lower
demand.
• Steelmaking coal production was 51% lower at 2.1 million tonnes, primarily
due to the suspension of Grosvenor since June 2024, the sale of Jellinbah in
November 2024(7) and the event at Moranbah in March 2025.
• Nickel production decreased by 5% to 9,500 tonnes, reflecting expected
lower grade.
• Production from our Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) operations decreased by
47% to 492,100 ounces. On a like-for-like basis, up to the point of demerger
in May, production decreased by 18%(6), primarily reflecting planned lower
purchase of concentrate volumes, as well as the continued suspension of
operations at Tumela Lower in Amandelbult following flooding earlier this
year.
• Production and unit cost guidance for our continuing businesses remains
unchanged, except for lower Copper Peru unit costs of c.100 c/lb (previously
c.110 c/lb) which are offset by higher Copper Chile unit costs of c.195 c/lb
(previously c.185 c/lb). Overall, Copper unit cost guidance is unchanged.

(1) Production and unit cost guidance does not reflect the impact of expected
disposals.
(2) Unit costs exclude royalties and depreciation and include direct support
costs only. FX rates used for 2025 unit costs: c.950 CLP:USD, c.3.75 PEN:USD,
c.5.75 BRL:USD, c.18.60 ZAR:USD, c.1.60 AUD:USD. Subject to macro-economic
factors.
(3) Copper business only. On a contained-metal basis. Chile production is
subject to water availability, and is expected to be weighted to the second
half of 2025 given the impact from lower grades in the first half from
Collahuasi, particularly in Q1. Unit cost total reflects a weighted average
using the mid-point of production guidance. The copper unit costs are impacted
by FX rates and pricing of by-products, such as molybdenum.
(4) Wet basis. Kumba production is subject to third-party rail and port
availability and performance. Minas-Rio's production guidance reflects a
pipeline inspection (that occurs every five years) planned for Q3 2025. Unit
cost total reflects a weighted average using the mid-point of production
guidance.
(5) Production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kué joint operation
which is on an attributable 51% basis. De Beers continues to monitor rough
diamond trading conditions and will respond accordingly. Unit cost is based on
De Beers' proportionate consolidated share of costs and associated production.
(6) Production guidance has not been updated as we continue to assess
potential impacts from the temporary stoppage at Moranbah and excludes
Grosvenor as the operation remains suspended. A walk-on/walk-off longwall move
at Aquila, that will have a minimal production impact, is planned for Q3 2025.
Definitive agreements to sell the entirety of the Steelmaking Coal business
were announced in November 2024. Anglo American has sold its interest in
Jellinbah to Zashvin Pty Limited, and this transaction completed on 29 January
2025. We have agreed to sell the remaining Steelmaking Coal portfolio to
Peabody Energy. Production excludes thermal coal by-product. Steelmaking Coal
FOB/tonne unit cost comprises managed operations and excludes royalties.
(7) Nickel operations in Brazil only. A definitive agreement to sell the
Nickel business to MMG Singapore Resources Pte. Ltd was announced in February
2025, subject to relevant approvals.
Footnotes to front page
(1) Contained metal basis. Reflects copper production from the Copper
operations in Chile and Peru only (excludes copper production from the
Platinum Group Metals business).
(2) Wet basis.

reported production has been restated from the Q1 2025 production report to
reflect the accounting basis for the South African operations.
(4) Production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kué joint operation
which is on an attributable 51% basis.
(5) Reflects nickel production from the Nickel operations in Brazil only.
(6) Produced ounces of metal in concentrate. 5E + gold (platinum, palladium,
rhodium, ruthenium and iridium plus gold). Reflects own mined production and
purchase of concentrate. In light of the demerger of PGMs effective 31 May
2025, Q2 2025 reflects the period 1 April - 31 May 2025. Q2 2024 comparative
period is unchanged, and reflects production for the period 1 April - 30 June
2024. Like-for-like basis excludes June 2024 production from the comparative
period.
(7) Anglo American's attributable share of Jellinbah was 23.3%. Anglo American
agreed the sale of its 33.3% stake in Jellinbah in November 2024, and this
transaction completed on 29 January 2025. Production and sale volumes from
Jellinbah post 1 November 2024, after the sale was agreed, did not accrue to
Anglo American and have been excluded.

Preliminary H1 2025 financial notes
Based on the progress of the divestments and the successful demerger of our
PGMs business on 31 May 2025, the Steelmaking Coal, Nickel and PGMs business
segments are all expected to be reported as discontinued operations at the
2025 half year results, and the relevant assets and liabilities shown as held
for sale for Steelmaking Coal and Nickel.
The underlying effective tax rate for H1 2025 is expected to be higher than
the 40-43% guidance for 2025 due to the relative levels of profits arising in
the Group's operating jurisdictions.

(1) Copper production shown on a contained metal basis. Reflects copper
production from the Copper operations in Chile and Peru only (excludes copper
production from the Platinum Group Metals business).
Copper production for the second quarter of 2025 was 173,300 tonnes,
reflecting higher production from Quellaveco as a result of higher throughput,
offset by planned lower production in Chile, at both Collahuasi and Los
Bronces. Production volumes increased sequentially from Q1 2025.
Chile - Copper production of 96,600 tonnes was lower than the comparative
period, reflecting lower ore grade, lower recoveries and water constraints at
Collahuasi and planned lower throughput at Los Bronces.
Production from Los Bronces decreased by 24% to 36,900 tonnes, reflecting the
impact of the smaller Los Bronces plant being put on care and maintenance at
the end of July 2024, partially offset by the benefit of higher grades (0.50%
vs 0.48%) and improved plant performance and copper recovery. The current mine
phase at Los Bronces has lower grade and harder ore characteristics but good
progress is being made in the development of Donoso 2, the next phase of the
mine, which has higher grade and softer ore. Development activities for this
phase continue and it is expected to be fully opened by early 2027.
At Collahuasi, Anglo American's attributable share of copper production
decreased by 20% to 48,100 tonnes, reflecting the anticipated lower ore grades
(0.96% vs 1.08%) as well as lower throughput and copper recovery associated
with temporary water supply constraints and lower quality ore feed from
processing lower grade stockpiles. Collahuasi was expecting lower production
in 2025 as the mine transitions between different phases, with some
improvements expected through the year, resulting in production weighted to
the second half. Ultra-filtered sea water, using infrastructure from the new
desalination plant, was received in early July for system testing, and is
expected to ramp-up during the second half of 2025. The water desalination
project is expected to be fully operational by mid-2026.
Production from El Soldado of 11,600 tonnes was broadly in line with the
comparative period.
The H1 2025 average realised price for Copper Chile was 444 c/lb as compared
to the average LME price of 428 c/lb, benefitting from provisional pricing
adjustments achieved in the first quarter.
Peru - Quellaveco production increased by 2% to 76,700 tonnes, reflecting
higher throughput from strong plant performance, partially offset by lower
grade. As planned, in 2025, the mine is expected to average similar grades as
2024, while the next phases are opened and developed. Optimising plant
stability and throughput remains a priority during 2025 as we continue to work
to improve recoveries, including at the coarse particle recovery plant.
The H1 2025 average realised price for Copper Peru was 427 c/lb as compared to
the average LME price of 428 c/lb.
2025 Guidance
Production guidance for 2025 is unchanged at 690,000-750,000 tonnes (Chile
380,000-410,000 tonnes; Peru 310,000-340,000 tonnes). Chile production is
subject to water availability, and is expected to be weighted to the second
half of 2025 given the impact from lower grades in the first half from
Collahuasi, particularly in Q1.
The total copper unit cost guidance for 2025 is unchanged at c.151
c/lb((1).)The Peru unit cost of c.100 c/lb((1)) (previously c.110 c/lb) is
expected to be lower as it benefits from higher by-product credits and lower
treatment and refinement charges. The Chile unit cost of c.195 c/lb((1))
(previously c.185 c/lb) is expected to be higher, owing to the impact of the
production mix between Los Bronces and Collahuasi.
(1) The copper unit costs are impacted by FX rates and pricing of by-products,
such as molybdenum. FX rate assumption for 2025 unit costs c.950 CLP:USD for
Chile and c.3.75 PEN:USD for Peru.

Iron ore production increased by 2% to 15.9 million tonnes, primarily driven
by strong second quarter performance from Minas-Rio.
Kumba - Total production of 9.3 million tonnes in the quarter was broadly flat
versus the comparative period, reflecting a flexible production approach to
managing Sishen and Kolomela as an integrated complex. Sishen's production was
3% lower, reflecting maintenance activities, and this was offset by 11% higher
production at Kolomela.
Total sales increased by 1% to 9.8 million tonnes((1)), reflecting improved
stock levels at the port at the beginning of the quarter.
Total finished stock was 7.4 million tonnes((1)), lower than Q1 2025 (7.8
million tonnes)((1)). Stock at the mines was 6.4 million tonnes((1)), with
stock at the port at a more normalised level of 1.0 million tonnes((1)) (Q1
2025: 1.6 million tonnes).
Kumba's iron (Fe) content averaged 64.1% (H1 2024: 64.1%), while the average
lump:fines ratio was 67:33 (H1 2024: 64:36).
The H1 2025 average realised price of $91/tonne((1)) (FOB South Africa, wet
basis) was 8% higher than the 62% Fe benchmark price of $84/tonne((1)) (FOB
South Africa, adjusted for freight and moisture), primarily reflecting the
benefit of premiums for higher iron content and lump product, partially offset
by provisionally priced sales volumes.
Minas-Rio - Production increased by 4% to 6.7 million tonnes, reflecting
further performance improvement. This operational delivery was underpinned by
improved mass recovery at the beneficiation plant, and enhanced operational
discipline.
The H1 2025 average realised price of $86/tonne (FOB Brazil, wet basis) was 5%
higher than the Metal Bulletin 65 price of $82/tonne (FOB Brazil, adjusted for
freight and moisture), benefitting from the premium for our high quality
product, including higher (~67%) Fe content, partially offset by provisionally
priced sales volumes.
2025 Guidance
Production guidance for 2025 is unchanged at 57-61 million tonnes (Kumba 35-37
million tonnes; Minas-Rio 22-24 million tonnes). Kumba is subject to
third-party rail and port availability and performance. Minas-Rio's production
guidance reflects a pipeline inspection (that occurs every five years) planned
for Q3 2025.
Unit cost guidance for 2025 is unchanged at c.$36/tonne((2)) (Kumba
c.$39/tonne((2)); Minas-Rio c.$32/tonne((2))).
(1) Production and sales volumes, stock and realised price are reported on a
wet basis and could differ to Kumba's stand-alone results due to sales to
other Group companies. At Q1 2025, total finished stock was 7.8 million
tonnes; stock at the mines was 6.2 million tonnes and stock at the port was
1.6 million tonnes. At Q2 2024, total finished stock was 8.2 million tonnes;
stock at the mines was
7.4 million tonnes and stock at the port was 0.8
million tonnes.
(2) FX rate assumption for 2025 unit costs of c.18.60 ZAR:USD for Kumba and

(1) Production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kué joint operation
which is on an attributable 51% basis.
Operational Performance
Rough diamond production in Q2 2025 decreased by 36% to 4.1 million carats,
reflecting a planned production response to the prolonged period of lower
demand.
In Botswana, production decreased by 44% to 2.7 million carats, as a result of
extended maintenance at Orapa((1)) as well as actions to lower production,
which included putting the Letlhakane Tailings Treatment Plant on care and
maintenance. Jwaneng production was broadly consistent with the prior period.
Production in Namibia decreased by 5% to 0.5 million carats, as a result of
planned actions to lower production at Debmarine Namibia. Following a fleet
optimisation study, the Coral Sea vessel was retired and the Grand Banks
vessel has been taken out of service, pending a decision on potential
decommissioning or sale. This was partially offset by planned mining of
higher-grade areas at Namdeb.
In South Africa, the output from the Venetia underground project remains lower
than during the prior open-pit operations, with the capital spend being
rephased while market conditions remain subdued. Production increased by 17%
to 0.6 million carats, reflecting processing of increased volumes of
higher-grade underground ore.
Production in Canada decreased by 46% to 0.4 million carats due to planned
treatment of lower-grade ore.
Trading Performance
Rough diamond trading conditions remained challenged in the first half of
2025. Improved industry sentiment at the end of the first quarter led to
stabilisation of polished diamond prices. But uncertainty surrounding U.S.
tariffs announced in April subsequently slowed polished trading. In contrast
to the ongoing challenging trading conditions, consumer demand for diamond
jewellery remained broadly stable in the first half of the year.
Rough diamond sales from three Sights in Q2 2025 totalled 7.6 million carats,
benefitting from stock rebalancing initiatives with specific assortments being
sold at lower margins (6.8 million carats on a consolidated basis)((2)),
generating consolidated rough diamond sales revenue of $1,185 million. This
compared with three Sights in Q2 2024 of 7.8 million carats (7.3 million
carats on a consolidated basis)((2)), generating consolidated rough diamond
revenue of $1,039 million. Accordingly, we expect to report negative
underlying EBITDA for De Beers in the first half of 2025.
The H1 2025 consolidated average realised price decreased by 5% to $155/ct,
reflecting the impact of a 14% decrease in the average rough price index,
partially offset by stronger demand for higher-value stones impacting the
sales mix in Q2 2025. The average rough price index does not reflect the
impact of rebalancing initiatives.
2025 Guidance
Production((3)) guidance for 2025 is unchanged at 20-23 million carats (100%
basis). De Beers continues to monitor rough diamond trading conditions and
will respond accordingly.
Unit cost guidance for 2025 is unchanged at c.$94/carat((4)).

(1) Anglo American's attributable share of saleable production. Steelmaking
coal production volumes may include some product sold as thermal coal and
includes production relating to third-party product purchased and processed at
Anglo American's operations.
(2) Anglo American's attributable share of Jellinbah was 23.3%. Anglo American
agreed the sale of its 33.3% stake in Jellinbah in November 2024, and this
transaction completed on 29 January 2025. Production and sale volumes from
Jellinbah post 1 November 2024, after the sale was agreed, did not accrue to
Anglo American and have been excluded.
Steelmaking coal production decreased by 51% to 2.1 million tonnes, primarily
impacted by the suspension of mining at the Grosvenor longwall operation
following the underground fire in June 2024, the sale of our minority interest
in Jellinbah which completed in January 2025 and the incident at Moranbah in
March 2025. These decreases were partially offset by higher production at the
Aquila underground mine with strong performance of the longwall, coupled with
improved ground conditions. Higher production was also achieved at the Capcoal
open cut operation, reflecting mine sequencing.
The ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was
85:15 during the quarter, higher than Q2 2024 (78:22), reflecting the change
in product mix with the sale of Jellinbah.
The H1 2025 average realised price for hard coking coal was $172/tonne,
compared to the benchmark price of $185/tonne. This resulted in a decrease in
the price realisation to 93% (H1 2024: 99%), reflecting a more normalised
realisation compared to the comparative period, which benefited as a result of
the timing of sales.
We expect to report negative underlying EBITDA for Steelmaking Coal in the
first half of 2025.
Considerable progress has been made towards a safe restart of the Moranbah
North mine, including confirmation that there is no meaningful damage from the
event that occurred in March. Anglo American continues to believe that the
current production stoppage at the Moranbah North steelmaking coal mine in
Australia does not constitute a Material Adverse Change in accordance with the
definitive agreements signed with Peabody in November 2024. We continue to
work with Peabody towards satisfying the remaining customary conditions in
those agreements that are required for completion of the transaction.
Significant progress has been made since the re-entry to the underground area
in mid-April. Development operations resumed in early June and work is under
way to prepare the longwall face for restart. Longwall production is expected
to restart in due course, initially via remote operation, after some
additional controls are implemented and final risk assessments are completed,
subject to the regulatory process.
Anglo American recently convened a tripartite industry forum to discuss and
learn from the incident - a first for the mining industry in Queensland and
setting a new benchmark for transparency and industry collaboration. We
continue to work closely with our workforce, Industry Safety and Health
Representatives (ISHR) and Resources Safety and Health Queensland (RSHQ) under
an agreed set of principles to progress with a staged approach to longwall
restart.
At Grosvenor, we continue to work with the regulator to complete the remaining
requirements for re-entry approval - a critical milestone that will enable our
teams to return underground, conduct visual inspections and continue our
readiness activities.
2025 Guidance
Production guidance for 2025 has not been updated, remaining at 10-12 million
tonnes as we continue to assess potential impacts from the temporary stoppage
at Moranbah. Production guidance excludes Grosvenor as the operation remains
suspended. A walk-on/walk-off longwall move at Aquila, that will have a
minimal production impact, is planned for Q3 2025.
Unit cost guidance for 2025 of c.$105/tonne((1)) is currently under review, in
light of the temporary stoppage at Moranbah.

the period 1 April - 31 May 2025, and H1 2025 reflects the period 1 January
2025 - 31 May 2025. Q2 2024 and H1 2024 comparative periods are unchanged, and
reflect production for the periods 1 April - 30 June 2024 and 1 January - 30
June 2024 respectively.
(2) Ounces refer to troy ounces. PGMs consists of 5E + gold (platinum,
palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium plus gold).
(3) Includes managed operations and 50% of joint operation production.
(4) Includes the other 50% of joint operation production, as well as the
purchase of concentrate from third parties.
(5) Refined production excludes toll refined material.
The PGMs business (previously Anglo American Platinum, now Valterra Platinum)
was demerged on 31 May following the approval of the demerger resolution at
the Anglo American AGM on 30 April, resulting in two months being reflected in
Q2 2025, compared to three months in Q2 2024.
Please refer to Valterra Platinum's Q2 2025 production report, published on
its website on 18 July 2025, for more details on its production performance
this quarter.
Metal in concentrate production
Own mined production for the quarter was 291,500 ounces, down 47%. Excluding
June 2024 (on a like-for-like basis), own mined production decreased by 16%
due to the continued suspension of operations at Tumela Lower in Amandelbult
following flooding earlier this year.
Purchase of concentrate for the quarter was 200,700 ounces, down 46%. On a
like-for-like basis, purchase of concentrate decreased by 20% reflecting
planned lower Kroondal volumes, which had transitioned to a 4E tolling
arrangement in September 2024.
Refined production
Refined production for the quarter was 624,100 ounces, down 46%. On a
like-for-like basis, refined production decreased by 18% owing to the lower
metal in concentrate production as well as the comparative period benefitting
from a drawdown of work-in-progress inventory.
Sales
Sales volumes decreased by 49% to 640,300 ounces. On a like-for-like basis,
sales decreased by 26% reflecting the lower refined production as well as the
comparative period benefitting from a drawdown of finished goods.
The May year-to-date average realised basket price was $1,506/PGM ounce, up
4%, mainly due to a 9% increase in rhodium prices and a 2% increase in
platinum prices.

(2) M&C refers to metal in concentrate. Ounces refer to troy ounces. PGMs
consists of 5E + gold (platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium
plus gold).
(3) Modikwa is a 50% joint operation. The 50% equity share of production is
presented under 'Own mined' production. The PGMs business purchases the
remaining 50% of production, which is presented under 'Purchase of
concentrate'.
(4) Kroondal was a 50% joint operation until 1 November 2023. Upon the
disposal of our 50% interest, Kroondal transitioned to a 100% third-party
purchase of concentrate arrangement, whereby 100% of production is presented
under 'Purchase of concentrate: Third parties' until it transitioned to a toll
arrangement. As expected, from 1 September 2024, Kroondal transitioned to a 4E
toll arrangement on the same terms as other Sibanye-Stillwater tolled volumes,
which is presented under 'Tolled material'.
(5) Refined production excludes toll material.
(6) Tolled volume measured as the combined content of: platinum, palladium,
rhodium and gold, reflecting the tolling agreements in place.
(7) Relates to sales of metal not produced by Anglo American operations, and
includes metal lending and borrowing activity.
(8) 4E: the grade measured as the combined content of: platinum, palladium,
rhodium and gold, excludes tolled material. Minor metals are excluded due to
variability.
Exploration and evaluation
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for the continuing operations in Q2
2025 decreased by 2% to $65 million compared to the same period last year.
Exploration expenditure decreased by 29% to $22 million, primarily due to
planned lower spend. Evaluation expenditure increased by 23% to $43 million,
primarily due to planned increased spend in Copper.

Notes:
Anglo American is a leading global mining company focused on the responsible
production of copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients - future-enabling
products that are essential for decarbonising the global economy, improving
living standards, and food security. Our portfolio of world-class operations
and outstanding resource endowments offers value-accretive growth potential
across all three businesses, positioning us to deliver into structurally
attractive major demand growth trends.
Our integrated approach to sustainability and innovation drives our
decision-making across the value chain, from how we discover new resources to
how we mine, process, move and market our products to our customers - safely,
efficiently and responsibly. Our Sustainable Mining Plan commits us to a
series of stretching goals over different time horizons to ensure we
contribute to a healthy environment, create thriving communities and build
trust as a corporate leader. We work together with our business partners and
diverse stakeholders to unlock enduring value from precious natural resources
for our shareholders, for the benefit of the communities and countries in
which we operate, and for society as a whole. Anglo American is re-imagining
mining to improve people's lives.
Anglo American is currently implementing a number of major structural changes
to unlock the inherent value in its portfolio and thereby accelerate delivery
of its strategic priorities of Operational excellence, Portfolio
simplification, and Growth. This portfolio transformation is focusing Anglo
American on its world-class resource asset base in copper, premium iron ore
and crop nutrients - with the sale of our steelmaking coal and nickel
businesses agreed, the demerger of our PGMs business (Anglo American Platinum,
now Valterra Platinum) completed, and the separation of our iconic diamond
business (De Beers) to follow.
