Anglo American announces it will not proceed with Revuboè metallurgical coal project

Anglo American plc ("Anglo American") announces its decision not to proceed with the
acquisition of a 58.9% interest in the Revuboè metallurgical coal project in Mozambique. As
announced on 24 July 2012, the transaction was subject to a number of conditions. Those
conditions have not been satisfied and Anglo American has decided not to proceed with the
transaction.

Anglo American expects to continue with its objective of establishing a position in the emerging
metallurgical coal basin in Mozambique.
