Anglo American rough diamond sales value for De Beers’ seventh sales cycle of 2016

Anglo American plc announces the value of rough diamond sales (Global Sightholder Sales
and Auction Sales) for De Beers’ seventh sales cycle of 2016, amounting to $630 million,
compared with the $528 million value of the sixth sales cycle of 2016.

Bruce Cleaver, CEO of De Beers, said: “We saw healthy demand for our rough diamonds in
Cycle 7, as manufacturers brought forward some of their demand in order to cut and polish
rough diamonds in time for the important retail selling season.”
