Notes to the poll results

1.    Any proxy votes that were at the discretion of the Chairman are
included in the total of "votes for" each resolution.

2.    Percentages of votes for and votes against each resolution are
included on the basis of votes cast and therefore exclude abstentions.

3.    The Company had in issue 985,856,695 Ordinary Shares carrying one
vote each, and 2,000,000 5% Cumulative Preference Shares carrying 100 votes
each. Accordingly, the total number of votes available was 1,185,856,695 votes
and the total number of votes available excluding the controlling shareholders
was 350,086,090 votes at the Annual General Meeting.

4.    "Votes Cast as % of Issued Share Capital" represents the percentage of
votes cast as a percentage of all votes that could have been cast on the
resolution.

These results will be published within "news" in the "media" section of the
website of Antofagasta plc, www.antofagasta.co.uk.
