NEWS RELEASE

18 July 2019

Anglo American plc
Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2019

Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: "Production is up 2%(1) for the quarter, due to the
successful ramp-up at Minas-Rio and strong performance at Metallurgical Coal following the longwall moves
and plant upgrade work in Q1. Kumba Iron Ore continues to improve following Q1 production challenges.
De Beers, in view of prevailing market conditions, will continue to produce to demand for the year. We remain
broadly on track overall to deliver this full year's production targets, with an increase to Minas-Rio guidance
offsetting two reductions at De Beers and Kumba Iron Ore."

Highlights

 -   De Beers' diamond production decreased by 14% to 7.7 million carats in the quarter, as we continue to
     produce to market demand and as Venetia transitions from open pit to underground.
 -   Copper production increased by 1% to 159,100 tonnes due to strong performance at Los Bronces and Collahuasi.
 -   Platinum production increased by 3%(2) to 520,300 ounces and palladium decreased by 1%(2) to 347,200
     ounces, due to a change in mix of production from each operation.
 -   Kumba's iron ore production decreased by 9% to 10.5 million tonnes due to plant maintenance.
 -   Minas-Rio's iron ore production was 5.9 million tonnes as its strong ramp-up continues ahead of schedule.
 -   Metallurgical coal production increased by 11% to 5.8 million tonnes due to generally stronger
     performance and the completion of Q1 longwall moves.
 -   Thermal coal production decreased by 8% to 6.6 million tonnes primarily due to local drought conditions at Cerrejon.

Rough diamond production decreased by 14% to 7.7 million carats driven by reductions in Botswana
(Debswana) and South Africa (DBCM). Production guidance has been revised downwards to ~31 million
carats, in response to weaker trading conditions.

Botswana (Debswana) production decreased by 9% to 5.7 million carats. This was driven by a decrease at
Orapa(2) of 23% to 2.5 million carats following a planned plant shut down brought forward from H2 2019, which
impacted production in late Q1 and early Q2. Production at Jwaneng increased by 7% to 3.2 million carats,
driven by an increase in tonnes treated.

Namibia (Namdeb Holdings) production decreased by 35% to 0.3 million carats, driven by Elizabeth Bay
transitioning onto care and maintenance in Q4 2018 and planned maintenance for the Mafuta crawler vessel.

South Africa (DBCM) production decreased by 44% to 0.6 million carats due to lower mined volumes at Venetia
as it approaches the transition from open pit to underground. In addition, Voorspoed production came to an
end as it was placed onto care and maintenance in Q4 2018 in preparation for closure.

Canada production decreased by 9% to 1.1 million carats due to planned lower grades at Gahcho Kue. Victor
production decreased by 4% to 0.2 million carats as it reached the end of its life during Q2 2019.

Rough diamond sales were 9.0 million carats (8.3 million carats on a consolidated basis) (3) from three sales
cycles compared with 10.0 million carats (9.4 million carats on a consolidated basis) (3) from the same number
of sales cycles in Q2 2018. Demand for rough diamonds remains subdued as a result of challenges in the
midstream with higher polished inventories, and caution due to macro-economic uncertainty, including the US
- China trade tensions.

The H1 2019 average realised rough diamond price decreased by 7% to $151/carat (H1 2018: $162/carat),
which was driven by a 4% reduction in the average rough price index and a change in the sales mix in response
to weaker conditions.

Full Year Guidance

Production guidance(1) is revised to ~31 million carats, the lower end of the previous range (31-33 million
carats), in response to weaker trading conditions experienced in the period.

(1) De Beers Group production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kue joint venture which is on an attributable 51% basis.
(2) Orapa constitutes the Orapa Regime which includes Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa.
(3) Consolidated sales volumes exclude De Beers Group's JV partners' 50% proportionate share of sales to entities outside De Beers 
    Group from Diamond Trading Company Botswana and the Namibia Diamond Trading Company, which are included in total sales volume (100% basis).

(1) Copper production shown on a contained metal basis. Reflects copper production from the Copper business unit only (excludes copper production from the Platinum Group
    Metals business unit).

Copper production increased to 159,100 tonnes, reflecting strong performance at both Los Bronces and Collahuasi.

Production from Los Bronces increased by 2% to 91,200 tonnes, driven by planned higher grades (0.81% vs.
0.76%). The operation has experienced a reduction in water availability and storage due to the ongoing drought
affecting Chile's central region, with the first half of 2019 being one of the driest autumns ever recorded. While
production losses are expected to be largely mitigated for 2019, low precipitation levels over the Chilean winter
and spring remain a risk for 2020.

At Collahuasi, attributable production was in line with Q2 2018 at 54,700 tonnes with planned lower grades
(1.21% vs. 1.34%) offset by a strong plant performance. The planned three month shut down, to replace a
stator motor at the second ball mill on Line 3 (Line 3 has two ball mills and is responsible for 60% of plant
throughput), was completed successfully at the end of June.

H1 2019 sales volumes were 307,300 tonnes, at an average realised price of 280c/lb ($6,173/t), in line with
the average LME price.

Full Year Guidance

Production guidance is unchanged at 630,000-660,000 tonnes.

(1) Ounces refer to troy ounces.
(2) Excluding purchase of concentrate volumes now treated under tolling arrangement.
(3) Includes managed operations and 50% of joint venture production.
(4) Includes 50% of joint venture production, and the purchase of concentrate from associates (BRPM prior to its disposal) and third parties.
(5) Comparative periods include purchase of concentrate volumes now under tolling arrangement.
(6) Refined production excludes toll material but includes in comparative periods material now transitioned to tolling.

Platinum production increased by 3% to 520,300 ounces while palladium production decreased by 1% to
347,200 ounces: both numbers exclude the impact of the transition of Sibanye-Stillwater Rustenburg material
to a tolling arrangement in 2019.

Own mined production

Own mined platinum production increased by 1% to 342,800 ounces and palladium production is in line with
Q2 2018 at 260,500 ounces.

Mogalakwena platinum production decreased by 4% to 127,900 ounces and palladium production by 4% to
139,500 ounces primarily due to mining through a higher waste area, as well as a decrease in concentrator
throughput and recoveries.

Amandelbult platinum production is in line with the same period in the prior year at 116,600 ounces, while
palladium production increased by 3% to 53,700 ounces. The development and ramp-up of the Dishaba
section continues, resulting in an 18% improvement compared to Q1 2019.

Unki platinum production increased by 11% to 23,100 ounces and palladium by 14% to 20,900 ounces due to
improved underground mining efficiencies as well as improved concentrator throughput, mill run-time and
higher recoveries.

On a 100% basis, Mototolo platinum production decreased by 32% to 23,000 ounces and palladium production
by 33% to 14,000 ounces due to two weeks of unprotected industrial action (impact of 4,000 platinum ounces
and 2,500 palladium ounces) and lower grades. Furthermore, Q2 2018 included additional production treated
at Bokoni.

Joint venture platinum production, excluding Mototolo, decreased by 1% to 104,400 ounces (of which 52,200
ounces was own mined production and 52,200 ounces was purchased concentrate) and palladium production
decreased by 6% to 64,800 ounces (of which 32,400 ounces was own mined production and 32,400 ounces
was purchased concentrate). This was driven by safety stoppages at Modikwa, partly offset by increased
production at Kroondal. Including Mototolo, joint venture platinum production decreased by 25% and palladium
production decreased by 28%, due to the acquisition of the remaining 50% of Mototolo in November 2018,
after which it ceased to be a joint venture.

Purchase of concentrate

Purchase of platinum in concentrate increased by 6% to 177,500 ounces and palladium decreased by 3% to
86,700 ounces due to higher production at Bafokeng-Rasimone Platinum Mine and Union, offset by lower
production from joint ventures as outlined above.

Refined production and sales volumes

Refined platinum production1 increased by 20% to 559,000 ounces and refined palladium production1
increased by 31% to 410,800 ounces. The increase was driven by improved operational performance at the
converter plant.

Platinum sales volumes1 increased by 8% to 557,800 ounces and palladium sales volumes1 increased by 31%
to 451,300, in line with refined production.

Full Year Guidance

Production guidance (metal in concentrate) remains unchanged at 2.0-2.1 million ounces of platinum and 1.3-
1.4 million ounces of palladium.

Kumba - Production decreased by 9% to 10.5 million tonnes as a result of reductions at both Sishen and
Kolomela due to unscheduled plant maintenance. Subsequent improvements in plant stability resulted in an
11% increase in production in Q2 2019 compared with Q1 2019.

Sishen's production decreased by 8% to 7.3 million tonnes due to unscheduled plant maintenance, while waste
movement decreased as planned by 6% to 41.8 million tonnes. Kolomela's production decreased by 11% to
3.2 million tonnes, due to extended maintenance at the dense media separation plant, while waste movement
increased as planned by 38% to 18.1 million tonnes.

Total sales remained broadly flat at 10.5 million tonnes, with a 2% increase in export sales to 9.8 million tonnes
due to an improvement in rail performance, partially offset by the impact on shipments of poor weather
conditions in June. Finished stock at 30 June 2019 was 4.5 million tonnes, slightly higher compared with 4.2
million tonnes at 31 March 2019.

In the first half of 2019 the ratio of lump to fines in Kumba product was 68:32.

Minas-Rio - Production of 5.9 million tonnes was driven by a strong operational performance that reflects the
optimisation work undertaken during 2018 while operations were suspended, and access to higher grade ore
in the Step 3 mining area.

Construction of a tailings dam lift is under way and is expected to be complete in Q3 2019. The conversion of
the installation licence to an operating licence for this lift is expected by year-end, subject to approval by the
Minas Gerais state government in Brazil.

Full Year Guidance

Production guidance for Kumba has been revised to 42-43 million tonnes (previously 43-44 million tonnes) due
to unscheduled plant maintenance in the first six months of the year.

Minas-Rio production guidance for 2019 is increased to 19-21 million tonnes (previously 18-20 million tonnes)
based on the strong performance in the first six months of the year.

(1) Anglo American's attributable share of production.
(2) Includes export primary production, secondary production sold into export markets and production sold domestically at export parity pricing.

Metallurgical Coal - Export metallurgical coal production increased by 11% to 5.8 million tonnes, due to a
larger impact from longwall moves in Q2 2018 and an additional shovel at the Capcoal open cut operation.
Longwall moves in the second half of 2019 are not expected to impact production materially.

In the second quarter, the ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was approximately
85:15 (first half: 82:18, lower due to longwall moves at hard coking coal operations).

Thermal Coal South Africa - Export thermal coal production increased by 3% to 4.6 million tonnes, with solid
operational performance across the portfolio offsetting planned decreases in production from sections
approaching end of life at Khwezela and Goedehoop.

Domestic thermal coal production decreased by 6% to 2.6 million tonnes as coal from mineral residue deposits
became less economic at prevailing prices.

Thermal Coal Colombia - Attributable export thermal coal production from Cerrejon decreased by 27% to
2.0 million tonnes due to dust management restrictions.

The weighted average realised price in the first half for export thermal coal from South Africa and Colombia
was $63/t, 9% lower than the weighted average quoted FOB price from South Africa and Colombia due to
weaker market conditions and discounts on lower energy content coal.

Full Year Guidance

Production guidance for metallurgical coal is unchanged at 22-24 million tonnes.

Production guidance for export thermal coal is unchanged at 26-28 million tonnes.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION

Exploration and evaluation expenditure was unchanged at $70 million. Exploration expenditure increased by
15% to $31 million driven by increased spend in De Beers and Metallurgical Coal. Evaluation expenditure
decreased by 13% to $39 million driven by reduced spend in PGMs and Diamonds.

CORPORATE ACTIVITY AND OTHER ITEMS

As previously reported, the Copper business gave notice to terminate a long-term power supply contract. This
resulted in a one-off negative impact of $179 million in special items. This is expected to result in improved
cost performance in the medium and long term and support a transition to renewable sources of power.

-   Copper equivalent production shows changes in underlying production volume. It is calculated by
    expressing each commodity's volume as revenue, subsequently converting the revenue into copper
    equivalent units by dividing by the copper price (per tonne). Long-term forecast prices are used, in order
    that period-on-period comparisons exclude any impact for movements in price.
-   Please refer below for information on forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements:

This announcement includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this announcement, including, without limitation, those regarding Anglo American's financial
position, business, acquisition and divestment strategy, dividend policy, plans and objectives of management
for future operations (including development plans and objectives relating to Anglo American's products,
production forecasts and Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources), are forward-looking statements. By their
nature, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Anglo American, or industry results, to
be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Anglo American's present
and future business strategies and the environment in which Anglo American will operate in the future.
Important factors that could cause Anglo American's actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, levels of actual production
during any period, levels of global demand and commodity market prices, mineral resource exploration and
development capabilities, recovery rates and other operational capabilities, the availability of mining and
processing equipment, the ability to produce and transport products profitably, the availability of transportation
infrastructure, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, the
availability of sufficient credit, the effects of inflation, political uncertainty and economic conditions in relevant
areas of the world, the actions of competitors, activities by governmental authorities such as permitting and
changes in taxation or safety, health, environmental or other types of regulation in the countries where Anglo
American operates, conflicts over land and resource ownership rights and such other risk factors identified in
Anglo American's most recent Annual Report. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be construed in
light of such risk factors and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this announcement. Anglo American expressly
disclaims any obligation or undertaking (except as required by applicable law, the City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers (the "Takeover Code"), the UK Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial
Conduct Authority, the Listings Requirements of the securities exchange of the JSE Limited in South Africa,
the SIX Swiss Exchange, the Botswana Stock Exchange and the Namibian Stock Exchange and any other
applicable regulations) to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained
herein to reflect any change in Anglo American's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Nothing in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that future earnings per share of Anglo American
will necessarily match or exceed its historical published earnings per share. Certain statistical and other
information about Anglo American included in this announcement is sourced from publicly available third-party
sources. As such, it has not been independently verified and presents the views of those third parties, though
these may not necessarily correspond to the views held by Anglo American and Anglo American expressly
disclaims any responsibility for, or liability in respect of, such third party information.
