Notes to editors:
Anglo American is a global and diversified mining business that provides the
raw materials essential for economic development and modern life. Our people
are at the heart of our business. It is our people who use the latest
technologies to find new resources, plan and build our mines and who mine,
process and move and market our products - from bulk commodities and base
metals to precious metals and diamonds (through De Beers) - to our customers
around the world. Our diversified portfolio of products spans the economic
development cycle and, as a responsible miner, we are the custodians of
precious resources. We work together with our key partners and stakeholders to
unlock the long-term value that those resources represent for our
shareholders, but also for the communities and countries in which we operate -
creating sustainable value and making a real difference. Our mining
operations, growth projects and exploration and marketing activities extend
across southern Africa, South America, Australia, North America, Asia and
Europe.
