AUSTRALIA MANGANESE UPDATE

South32 Limited (ASX / LSE / JSE: S32; ADR: SOUHY) (South32) advises that
operations at Groote Eylandt Mining Company Pty Ltd (GEMCO) have been
temporarily suspended due to Tropical Cyclone Megan.

The safety of our people and the community on Groote Eylandt is our priority.
Severe weather conditions continue to impact the Eylandt and we are closely
monitoring the situation.

Initial inspections indicate the cyclone has caused structural damage to the
wharf. The full impact of the damage and subsequent disruption to production
and sales volumes will be assessed when access to the port and other
infrastructure is restored.
