                                 ILLAWARRA METALLURGICAL COAL UPDATE

South32 Limited (ASX, JSE, LSE: S32; ADR: SOUHY) (South32) advises that underground
operations at the Appin colliery, which forms part of its broader Illawarra Metallurgical Coal
operation, remain suspended. A review of the operation’s systems and operating practices is
currently being undertaken to ensure its ongoing safety and reliability. Given the scope of this
review, an extended outage is now anticipated before production at Illawarra Metallurgical Coal
can be restored to historic levels. The Dendrobium mine continues to operate.
