See note 5 to the Condensed financial statements. Cynthia Carroll, Chief Executive, said: "Anglo American`s strong financial performance in the first half is reflective of the operational and business improvement foundations put in place over the last three years which have enabled us to capture the maximum benefit of increased commodity prices. Furthermore, our commitment to sustain investment in our growth projects through the downturn is now paying dividends; that new production is already coming on stream and will drive very substantial incremental cash flows as the projects ramp up from this year onwards. For the first six months, we have reported a 45% increase in operating profit from our core businesses, generating $5.9 billion, with EBITDA of $7.1 billion, and underlying earnings of $3.1 billion. All of our core segments reported an increase in operating profit. We have achieved asset optimisation and procurement benefits of $1.3 billion from our core businesses during the first six months of the year, having already exceeded our full year 2011 target of $2 billion of benefits during 2010. As we have seen across many major mining regions, there were also a number of factors that negatively affected performance, including weather conditions in Australia and South Africa, further dollar weakness, input cost pressures and lower ore grades. However, I am pleased to report that where we are able to mitigate against these factors, we have done so and we expect a stronger second half to the year to build upon the momentum of the second quarter. Our post-flood production recovery plan for our Metallurgical Coal business in Australia and the firmly embedded practices of our global supply chain have shown particular success, to name just two examples. Anglo American`s delivery of substantial near term production growth in nickel, copper and iron ore at attractive cash cost positions, clearly sets us apart. We are now in a position to take full advantage of the robust demand environment as we deliver some of the lowest capital intensity and operating cost volumes to fundamentally attractive markets. Our four major projects have all made excellent progress, Barro Alto began production on schedule in March and will more than double our Nickel business` production when it reaches full capacity in 2012. In the fourth quarter of this year, the expansion of our Los Bronces copper operation will begin production on schedule, more than doubling the mine`s production over the first three years to 490,000 tonnes per year and will have highly attractive cash operating costs. Looking to the first half of next year, 2012, the 9 million tonnes per year Kolomela iron ore project in South Africa will ramp-up production, again with a very competitive cost position. The development progress of Kolomela has been outstanding, it is 94% complete and certain elements of the plant are already being handed over for commissioning. We have also extended the life of the mine by eight years, now giving us a 28-year life of mine. In Brazil, our 26.5 million tonnes per year Minas-Rio iron ore project continues to make good progress, with civil works for the beneficiation plant and construction works for the tailings dam all getting under way since March. The project is on track to deliver first ore on ship in the second half of 2013 at a first quartile cost position and we have begun the pre-feasibility work for the project`s very significant expansion potential to 80-90 million tonnes per year. Looking further out, our $66 billion pipeline of unapproved projects presents tremendous opportunities and optionality from our world class resource base, which itself has been significantly increased due to our many exploration successes. However, while we expect to approve a number of major projects over the next 12 months, including Quellaveco (copper) and Grosvenor (metallurgical coal), we are not immune from the industry-wide challenges in delivering new supply to the market. I have always made it clear that safety is my absolute priority and I am saddened by the disappointing safety performance in the first half of this year, following five years of consistent safety improvement. Ten employees lost their lives in work related incidents and there is another such incident under investigation. Furthermore, our lost time injury rates have plateaued following a long period of significant and sustained improvements. While there are a great many examples of continued safety excellence across our businesses, most notably in Copper, we have taken swift action to review, refocus and reprioritise our safety related initiatives to ensure we continue to move towards zero harm. The economic outlook remains robust for the mining industry and in particular for Anglo American`s well balanced and diversified portfolio. While there undoubtedly remain a number of headwinds affecting the global economy in the near term, the long term healthy demand growth from the major emerging economies, together with widespread supply constraints, continues to support highly attractive market dynamics." Review of the six months ended 30 June 2011 Financial results Anglo American`s underlying earnings for the first half of 2011 were $3.1 billion, 41% higher than the same period in 2010, with an operating profit of $6.0 billion, up 38% from $4.4 billion. Robust demand and disruption to supply resulted in higher prices across the Group`s portfolio of commodities. Copper reached a nominal record of 460 c/lb during February, while the iron ore market saw record quarterly contract and index prices. A record metallurgical coal price settlement was concluded for the second quarter at $330/t for high quality hard coking coal, reflecting reduced availability of supply. Export thermal prices also increased significantly, with export prices FOB South Africa up 39% compared with the first half of 2010. Iron Ore and Manganese recorded an operating profit of $2,507 million, 54% higher than the corresponding period in 2010. This was supported by strong iron ore prices, which increased by 56% at Kumba Iron Ore (Kumba), offsetting the impact of higher costs as a result of increased waste removal activity, the stronger rand, and lower operating profits from the Manganese operations. Kumba generated an operating profit of $2,437 million, 66% higher than in the same period during 2010. Metallurgical Coal delivered an operating profit of $491 million, an 87% increase on the first half of 2010, primarily due to the impact of higher realised export prices driven by weather induced supply constraints, offsetting the impact of a 22% decrease in export metallurgical sales and a stronger Australian dollar. Recovery actions initiated in the first quarter resulted in export metallurgical coal sales increasing by 79% in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. Thermal Coal`s operating profit of $521 million was 48% higher than the equivalent period in 2010 as a result of stronger realised prices more than offsetting the impact of lower railings to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal following derailments in the first quarter, and an extended maintenance shutdown between May and June. Cerrejon provided a strong financial performance, driven by higher export prices into the Atlantic markets. Copper delivered an operating profit of $1,401 million, 18% higher than the first half of 2010, underpinned by a record average realised copper price. Sales volumes were 12% lower than the same period in 2010 owing to lower production as a result of anticipated lower grades and rain disruption, and the impact of the Patache port closure throughout the first half of the year. Nickel reported an operating profit of $93 million, 37% higher than the equivalent period in 2010, principally as a result of a 21% increase in sales volumes from Codemin and Loma de Niquel and a higher nickel price. Platinum generated an operating profit of $542 million, 30% higher than the corresponding period in 2010, driven by a 13% increase in sales volume and a 15% increase in the overall average realised basket price. Diamonds recorded an attributable operating profit of $450 million, 72% higher than the first half of 2010, reflecting record rough diamond prices with production in line with the first half of 2010. Other Mining and Industrial`s operating profit was $101 million, 65% lower, attributable to the sale of Scaw International, the Skorpion Zinc mine and Tarmac European businesses in 2010, and the Lisheen and Black Mountain Zinc operations in 2011. The businesses that Anglo American has decided to retain (Peace River Coal, Copebras and Catalao), delivered a 118% increase in operating profit, driven by higher demand and prices for fertiliser products, and higher metallurgical coal prices and sales volumes. This was offset by Tarmac`s operating loss of $22 million, compared to an operating profit of $29 million in the first half of 2010, following rising input costs and difficult market conditions as well as the sale of its European businesses. Operating profit in the Scaw South Africa business was 15% lower due to difficult trading conditions in the Rolled Products operation. Production Production across the Group`s operations was negatively affected by significant increases in rainfall relative to the same period in 2010. At Kumba`s Sishen mine in South Africa, production from the Dense Medium Separation plant was down 16%, driven by the impact of feedstock availability constraints owing to rain restricting activity in the pit and wet feedstock causing blockages in the plant. Jig plant production was 2% lower than the first half of 2010, but the plant achieved a run rate in excess of design capacity during the second quarter, which offset the shortfall of the first quarter. Kumba`s Sishen Mine saw an 18% increase in production during the second quarter of 2011 as operations recovered from the rain-disrupted first quarter. In Australia, the Group`s Metallurgical Coal operations were affected by the widespread flooding. Metallurgical coal production was down 19% versus the first half of 2010, but in the second quarter increased by 77% against the first quarter. Production of export thermal coal from South Africa increased by 5%, driven by the ramp up at Zibulo. The first half production for both Cerrejon and Australian thermal coal has been reduced by heavy rainfall, with production down by 3% and 17% respectively. Copper production was 8% lower than the first half of 2010 owing to the impact of heavy rains at Collahuasi, lower grades, a temporary failure in the return solutions pipeline at Los Bronces, and lower throughput and recoveries at El Soldado. Nickel production from the Nickel Business Unit in South America was 26% higher than the same period in 2010, driven by higher production at Loma de Niquel and delivery of the Barro Alto project, while nickel output from Platinum`s South African mines increased by 12%. Equivalent refined platinum production decreased by 3% from first half of 2010, as a result of safety related stoppages, both regulated and self- imposed. Platinum refined production was 17% higher than the first half of 2010. Production at De Beers was in line with the first half of 2010. Capital structure Net debt, including related hedges, of $6,794 million was $590 million lower than at 31 December 2010, and $4,136 million lower than at 30 June 2010. Cash flows from operations of $5,233 million funded capital investment of $2,328 million (net of related derivatives) principally in the Group`s core assets, including combined investment of $1,083 million in the Los Bronces, Barro Alto, Minas-Rio and Kolomela growth projects during the first six months of the year. The disposal of the remaining Zinc businesses in February 2011 resulted in a net cash inflow of $499 million. Dividends An interim dividend of 28 US cents per share has been declared. Significant project growth already being delivered Anglo American has a clear strategy of deploying its capital in those commodities with strong fundamentals and the most attractive risk-return profiles that deliver long term, through-the-cycle returns for its shareholders. Anglo American has developed a portfolio of world class operating assets and development projects with the benefits of scale, expansion potential and attractive cost position. The Group`s pipeline of projects spans its core commodities and is expected to deliver organic production growth of 35% by 2014 from approved projects alone. Beyond the near term, Anglo American has a world class pipeline of projects across its selected commodities and is progressing towards approval decisions in relation to the development of two further high quality growth projects - the 225 ktpa Quellaveco copper project in Peru and the 4.3 Mtpa Grosvenor metallurgical coal project in Australia. Submission to the Board for approval is expected for the Quellaveco project once the necessary water permits have been obtained and for the Grosvenor project in 2012. Together with a number of other medium and longer term projects, Anglo American has the potential to double production over the next decade through its $85 billion pipeline of more than 100 projects. Anglo American`s project management systems and processes ensure close collaboration between the Group`s technical and project teams to execute projects effectively. The four largest near term strategic growth projects are all well placed on their respective industry cost curves, have long resource lives and the first of those projects has already entered production. Barro Alto - delivered The Barro Alto nickel project in Brazil, a greenfield nickel project approved for development in December 2006, delivered its first metal in March 2011. Barro Alto is ramping up towards full production capacity, which it is expected to reach in the second half of 2012. This project makes use of a proven technology and will produce an average of 36 ktpa of nickel in full production (41 ktpa over the first five years), more than doubling production from Anglo American`s Nickel business, with a competitive cost position in the lower half of the cost curve. Los Bronces - on track The Los Bronces copper expansion project in Chile is 97% complete and is on schedule for first production in the fourth quarter of 2011. Production at Los Bronces is scheduled to more than double (increase by 278 ktpa) to 490 ktpa over the first three years of full production following project completion and to average 400 ktpa over the first 10 years. At peak production levels, Los Bronces is expected to be the fifth largest producing copper mine in the world, with highly attractive cash operating costs, reserves and resources that support a mine life of over 30 years and with further expansion potential. Kolomela - on track Kumba`s Kolomela project in South Africa is well advanced and overall project progress reached 94% by 30 June 2011. With construction substantially complete, various systems of the plant have been handed over for cold commissioning. Hot commissioning of the plant is anticipated to commence during the third quarter of 2011. During the process, ore will be fed through the plant, resulting in work in progress stock and some saleable product being produced in 2011. Significant progress has been made by Transnet, with the construction of the direct rail link from the mine to the Sishen-Saldahna iron ore export channel likely to be finalised by the fourth quarter of 2011. Kolomela is situated 80 km to the south of Kumba`s world class Sishen mine and, when full production is achieved in 2013, will produce 9 Mtpa of high quality seaborne iron ore, with further potential for expansion. Kolomela`s life of mine has been extended by eight years to 28 years since the initial investment decision was made in 2008. Minas-Rio - on track The Minas-Rio iron ore project in Brazil continues to make progress and is expected to produce 26.5 Mtpa of iron ore in its first phase. The award of the second part of the mine, beneficiation plant and tailings dam installation licence (LI part 2) in December 2010, being the primary installation licence, enabled the start of the civil works for the beneficiation plant and tailings dam construction in March 2011, after the rainy season. This licence followed the award of the mining permit in August 2010. During the first half of 2011, licence and permit receipts continued, including securing the Mineral Easement and progressing land access, though there are still a number of other licenses and permits to be secured. At the beneficiation plant, 73% of earthworks are complete and 15% of the civil works have been concluded. The project remains on track to deliver first ore on ship during the second half of 2013. Divestment programme largely complete Anglo American`s programme to divest of its non-core businesses is largely complete. Scaw South Africa, the remaining extent of the Scaw Metals Group, is the last such business to be sold and that sales process is under way. During 2010, Anglo American announced the sale of a number of businesses for a total consideration of $3.3 billion on a debt and cash free basis, completed in a manner and on a timetable to maximise value to Anglo American`s shareholders. On 18 February 2011, Anglo American and Lafarge announced their agreement to combine their cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt and contracting businesses in the United Kingdom; Tarmac, Lafarge Cement UK, Lafarge Aggregates and Concrete UK. The 50:50 joint venture will create a leading UK construction materials company, with a portfolio of high quality assets drawing on the complementary geographical distribution of operations and assets, the skills of two experienced management teams and a portfolio of well-known and innovative brands. This transaction is progressing through the regulatory clearance processes. As part of Anglo American`s strategy to grow its Metallurgical Coal business, Anglo American has decided to retain, invest in and grow the Peace River Coal asset in British Columbia. Peace River Coal will be managed as part of Anglo American`s Metallurgical Coal business. Anglo American has decided to retain its Copebras phosphates business in Brazil and will further assess its potential for additional investment. Outlook Anglo American believes that demand for commodities remains healthy, driven by the resources intensive growth in the emerging economies, particularly in China and India. However, the unfolding of sovereign debt crises in Europe and the United States, and policy tightening in the major emerging economies is expected to generate short-term volatility. In spite of that volatility, prices for commodities are expected to be robust as widespread supply constraints and the challenges producers face in bringing new supply into production will lead to tighter market fundamentals. Costs will continue to be impacted by strong producer currencies and increasing prices for key inputs.

Financial review of Group results Group operating profit for the first half of 2011 was $6,024 million, with operating profit from core operations of $5,923 million, 45% higher than the first half of 2010. 6 months 6 months Operating profit ended ended $ million 30 June 2011 30 June 2010 Iron Ore and Manganese 2,507 1,628 Metallurgical Coal 491 263 Thermal Coal 521 351 Copper 1,401 1,185 Nickel 93 68 Platinum 542 418 Diamonds 450 261 Exploration (46) (57) Corporate Activities and Unallocated costs (36) (46) Operating profit including associates before special items and remeasurements - core operations 5,923 4,071 Other Mining and Industrial 101 290 Operating profit including associates before special items and remeasurements 6,024 4,361 Underlying earnings - core operations (1) 3,058 1,994 (1) See note 3 to the Condensed financial statements This improvement in operating profit was primarily driven by increases in realised prices of commodities. These included a 70% rise in achieved Australian export metallurgical coal prices, a 56% increase in achieved FOB iron ore prices, a 48% increase in realised South African export thermal coal prices, a 37% improvement in realised copper prices, and a 12% increase in platinum prices. Production across the Group`s operations was negatively affected by heavy rainfall and flooding, adversely affecting operating profit. Lower production volumes and mining cost pressures affecting the industry resulted in higher unit costs of production across the Group. The Group`s results are influenced by a variety of currencies owing to the geographic diversity of the Group. For the first half of 2011, there was a negative exchange variance in operating profit of $527 million compared to the first half of 2010. The Group results were affected negatively by the weakening of the US dollar versus the South African rand, Chilean peso, Brazilian real, and Australian dollar relative to the first half of 2010. Towards the beginning of this document, reference has been made to core operations. Operations considered core to the Group are Iron Ore and Manganese (Kumba Iron Ore, Iron Ore Brazil and Samancor), Metallurgical Coal, Thermal Coal, Copper, Nickel, Platinum, and Diamonds. During the first half of 2011 the Group decided to retain the Peace River Coal, Catalao and Copebras assets (Other Mining and Industrial segment). These retained assets delivered a combined increase in operating profit of 118% compared with the same period of the prior year. This was driven by operational improvements at Peace River Coal and an increase in sales volumes and prices at Copebras owing to high demand for fertilisers. Group underlying earnings were $3,120 million, a 41% increase on 2010. Group underlying earnings per share were $2.58 compared with $1.84 in the first half of 2010.

Derivatives which have been realised during the period resulted in a net operating remeasurement gain since their inception of $224 million. Net profit on disposals of $423 million, including associates, principally relates to the $397 million profit on the Group`s disposal of its 100% interest in the Lisheen zinc mine and its 74% interest in Black Mountain Mining (Proprietary) Limited, which holds 100% of the Black Mountain mine and the Gamsberg project. These disposals were completed in February 2011 and resulted in a net cash inflow of $499 million. Financing remeasurements, including associates, reflect a net gain of $49 million relating to gains on embedded and non-hedge derivatives and other remeasurements. Special items and remeasurements tax, including associates, amounted to a credit of $136 million relating to a credit for one-off tax items of $154 million, a tax remeasurement credit of $126 million and a tax charge on special items and remeasurements of $144 million. One-off tax items principally relate to the recognition of deferred tax assets in IOB originally written off as part of the impairment charges which related to the Amapa iron ore system in 2009, and a capital gains tax refund which related to a prior year disposal. Net finance income Net finance income, before remeasurements, excluding associates, was $20 million (compared to a charge of $130 million in the six months ended 30 June 2010). This was primarily due to increased interest income on investments and an increase in interest capitalised. Tax 6 months ended 30 June 2011 Associates`

Associates` tax is therefore not included within the Group`s income tax expense. Associates` tax included within `Share of net income from associates` for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is $221 million. Excluding special items and remeasurements, this becomes $217 million. The effective rate of tax before special items and remeasurements including attributable share of associates` tax for the six months ended 30 June 2011 was 31.8%. This was in line with the equivalent effective rate of 31.9% in the six months ended 30 June 2010. In future periods it is expected that the effective tax rate, including associates` tax, will remain above the United Kingdom statutory tax rate. Balance sheet Equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was $37,697 million at 30 June 2011, up on the $34,239 million at 31 December 2010, mainly due to the profit for the period of $3,988 million. Investments in associates were $401 million higher than at 31 December 2010, principally as a result of a significant improvement in earnings at De Beers. Property, plant and equipment increased by $1,623 million compared to 31 December 2010, due to the ongoing progress of projects during the half year. There were no assets classified as held for sale at 30 June 2011 (compared to assets, net of associated liabilities, of $188 million at 31 December 2010) due to the sale of the remaining Zinc assets during the period. An increase of $865 million in inventories and current trade and other receivables was driven by the impact of higher commodity prices and a weaker dollar during the first half of 2011. Cash flow Net cash inflows from operating activities were $3,986 million compared with $2,686 million in the six months ended 30 June 2010. EBITDA was $7,112 million, an increase of 31% from $5,414 million in the prior period, reflecting strong prices across the Group`s core commodities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,682 million compared with $2,397 million in the six months ended 30 June 2010. Purchases of property, plant and equipment, net of related derivative cash flows, amounted to $2,328 million, an increase of $335 million, reflecting major spend on the Group`s strategic growth projects. In the first half of 2011, proceeds from disposals, principally of the Group`s remaining Zinc portfolio (net of cash and cash equivalents disposed) were $505 million (proceeds from disposals six months ended 30 June 2010: $160 million). Net cash used in financing activities was $1,909 million compared with $616 million in the six months ended 30 June 2010. During the period the Group paid the 2010 final dividend of $495 million to shareholders, and an additional $461 million in dividends to non-controlling interests compared with the same period in 2010. Liquidity and funding Net debt, including related hedges, was $6,794 million, a decrease of $590 million from $7,384 million at 31 December 2010. The decrease in net debt reflects strong operating cash flows. Net debt at 30 June 2011 comprised $13,558 million of debt, partly offset by $6,805 million of cash and cash equivalents, and the current position of derivative liabilities related to net debt of $41 million. Net debt to total capital (1) at 30 June 2011 was 14.0%, compared with 16.3% at 31 December 2010. At 30 June 2011, the Group had undrawn bank facilities of $9.0 billion. The Group`s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, indicate the Group`s ability to operate within the level of its current facilities for the foreseeable future. (1) Net debt to total capital is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Total capital is net assets excluding net debt. Group corporate cost allocation Corporate costs which are considered to be value adding to the business units are allocated to each business unit and costs reported externally as Group corporate costs only comprise costs associated with parental or direct shareholder related activities.

Markets Total world crude steel production continued to grow and reached 760 Mt for the first six months of 2011, up from 717 Mt in 2010, a 6% increase. China`s crude steel production during the first six months of 2011 increased 9% year- on-year to 352 Mt despite monetary tightening policies. Crude steel production in Japan has remained flat year-on-year, in spite of production disruptions caused by the earthquake and tsunami in March. Global seaborne iron ore imports rose by 5% year-on-year to 515 Mt, driven mainly by an 11% increase in demand in China. With adverse weather and logistics constraints impacting seaborne iron ore supply, the market has remained tight, which incentivised Chinese steel mills to source domestically produced iron ore. While Chinese domestic iron ore production increased, the average implied grade continued to fall. Iron ore index prices peaked during the first quarter and, although retreating from these levels, have remained high, underpinned by high cost Chinese domestic iron ore production. On average, realised quarterly contract and index prices were aligned for the first half of 2011. Despite global steel production rebounding above pre-Financial Crisis levels, prices for manganese ores have been held in check at the current levels on the back of an even stronger response in supply growth and a build up of port inventories in China that approached the 4.0 Mt level before dropping back to 3.6 Mt at the end of June. Alloy conversion capacity continued to grow through the year, placing additional pressure on margins for all alloys, with some higher cost producers eventually idling capacity to cut losses. Operating performance Kumba Iron Ore Total tonnes mined at Sishen mine increased by 6% from 72.1 Mt in 2010 to 76.7 Mt, of which waste mined was 51.8 Mt, an increase of 12% over the first six months of 2010. This planned increase in mining activity was negatively affected by wet pit conditions resulting from excessive rainfall. As a result of the wet pit conditions, run of mine material supplied to the Dense Media Separation plant reduced, causing total production at Sishen Mine to decrease by 12% from 21.1 Mt in 2010 to 18.6 Mt. Production from the Dense Media Separation plant decreased by 2.4 Mt to 12.3 Mt, which was also reduced by maintenance downtime and wet feedstock causing blockages in the plant. The jig plant achieved a run rate in excess of design capacity during the second quarter which offset the shortfall of the first quarter. The contribution by the jig plant to Sishen mine`s production decreased to 6.3 Mt in the period (30 June 2010: 6.4 Mt). Total sales volumes for Kumba were maintained at approximately 22.0 Mt for the six months (2010: 21.9 Mt). Export sales volumes from Sishen Mine for the first six months decreased by 0.4 Mt to 18.4 Mt. Kumba`s export sales volumes to China increased by 1.9 Mt to 12.7 Mt which represented 69% of total export volumes for the six months, compared with 57% in the prior period. This was driven by a 1.1 Mt reduction in export sales to Japan as a result of the earthquake and tsunami and the rescheduling of vessels from June 2011 to July 2011. 2.8 Mt of stock was used to supplement the lower production from the mine. Iron Ore Brazil Iron Ore Brazil generated an operating loss of $36 million, largely reflecting the pre-operational state of the Minas-Rio project. The Amapa operation contributed an operating profit of $45 million for the period, compared with an operating loss of $7 million in the first half of 2010, reflecting a strong production performance and continued cost containment during a period of elevated prices. Production totalled 2.33 Mt in the period, a 26% increase, including 939,000 tonnes of higher priced pellet feed, a 37% increase. Samancor Operating profit of $106 million is $103 million lower than the prior period, driven mainly by lower prices and stronger local currencies. Mine shutdowns in South Africa following the fatality in February 2011 resulted in lower production volumes in South Africa. In addition, production was lower at Gemco in Australia due to concentrator downtime as well as conveyor slippages, mainly due to unusually heavy rainfall. Ore production of 3.1 Mt (100% basis) is 8% lower than the prior year and alloy production of 362,000 tonnes (100% basis) is marginally lower than the prior year. In 2010, high pricing drove a stimulation of domestic Chinese production which resulted in a stockpile build up. In 2011, the ore sales price has softened by 11% and, consequently, production levels have fallen and stockpiles have started to reduce. Projects The development of the 9 Mtpa Kolomela Mine continues and overall project progress reached 94%. Construction is substantially complete and various systems of the plant have been handed over for cold commissioning. Transnet has made significant progress in the construction of the direct rail link from the mine to the Sishen-Saldanha iron export channel. Hot commissioning of the plant is expected to start during the third quarter of 2011. During the process, ore will be fed through the plant, resulting in work in process stock and some saleable product being produced during 2011. For the six months ended 30 June 2011, 15.3 Mt of material was mined at Kolomela at a cost of $73 million, bringing the total waste mined as part of the mine`s development since 2008 to 37.3 Mt (Total cost - 2008 to 2010: $189 million). 600,000 tonnes of ore has been mined and stockpiled for the commissioning of the plant. The life of mine has been extended by eight years to 28 years since the initial investment decision. At this stage of the project, it is anticipated that the mine will be ramped up to produce 4 Mt to 5 Mt during 2012 and to produce at design capacity of 9 Mtpa in 2013. At the 26.5 Mtpa Minas-Rio iron ore project, civil works commenced, on schedule, at the beneficiation plant during March. Construction is under way for the tailings dam and earthworks continue in order to support the continuation of civil works (including the completion of earthworks associated with the primary crusher). The pipeline element of the project is continuing, with 25% of pipeline construction completed. At the port, offshore works have continued, with the final piles of the iron ore pier driven in June and the access bridge and tug boat pier completed, while onshore civil works have continued in line with the schedule during the period. Anglo American continues to work closely with the state and federal authorities towards the receipt of all relevant licences and permits. The project remains on target to deliver first ore on ship in the second half of 2013. During the first half of 2011, licence and permit receipts continued, including securing the Mineral Easement and progressing land access, though there are still a number of other licences and permits to be secured in relation to the pipeline and the beneficiation plant during the remaining period of project development. Pre-feasibility studies for the second phase of the Minas-Rio iron ore project commenced during 2011 and, while ongoing, these studies, together with the current resource statement (total resource volume (measured, indicated and inferred)) of 5.8 billion tonnes, support the expansion of the project. The second expansion of the GEMCO operation in the Northern Territory of Australia was recently approved. This follows the successful completion of the GEMCO Expansion Phase 1 (GEEP1) project in January 2010. The $279 million GEEP2 project (Anglo American`s 40% share $112 million) will increase GEMCO`s beneficiated product capacity from 4.2 Mtpa to 4.8 Mtpa through the introduction of a dense media circuit by- pass facility. The project is expected to be completed in late 2013. The expansion will also address infrastructure constraints by increasing road and port capacity to 5.9 Mtpa, creating 1.1 Mtpa of latent capacity for future expansions. The first phase expansion confirmed GEMCO`s status as the world`s largest and lowest cost producer of manganese ore. This second expansion will further enhance GEMCO`s competitive advantages and create additional options for growth. At the Hotazel Manganese mines, the central block development project at Wessels will increase production by between 0.5 Mtpa to 1.5 Mtpa. This will be completed in 2013 and is expected to require approximately $43 million (on a 100% basis) of investment to complete. The High Carbon Ferro Manganese furnace M14 at the Metalloys smelter in Meyerton, South Africa will add an additional 75,000 tonnes per annum capacity to the smelter at a cost of $90 million (on a 100% basis) and will take two years to complete. Outlook Kumba Iron Ore Chinese crude steel production is expected to increase by around 8% from 2010 levels. World steel production, however, is expected to ease back in the coming months owing to stock cycle turns, with global crude steel production anticipated to increase by about 6%. Crude steel production during the second half of the year is seasonally lower than the first half. This is expected to put modest downward pressure on iron ore prices in the final quarter of 2011. Kumba has implemented focused plans to recover the majority of the first half`s production shortfall by the end of 2011. Waste mining at Sishen Mine is anticipated to increase as pit conditions that hampered mining during the first six months subside. Export sales for 2011 are expected to remain in line with 2010 levels. Samancor Prices have held steady at current levels ($5.30/dmtu CIF China), as port inventories have declined in nine out of the last 10 weeks - however they remain well above normal levels as the market moves into the traditionally slower summer months. Alloy markets remain mixed with Asian markets below $1,200/t for silico manganese and high carbon ferro manganese, while the US market is slightly firmer at the $1,250/t to $1,275/t range. Latent capacity, power costs and strong competition from exports in Korea and India in particular may impact prices achieved for Samancor`s products over the remainder of the year.

Production at the Queensland operations was affected by heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding in late 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011. In June 2011, production returned to normal operating levels as a result of proactive recovery actions put in place in the first quarter with previously announced force majeure declarations removed from the Queensland export operations. Insurance claims are currently being prepared but recoveries are not expected to be significant in the context of the Group`s results.

Metallurgical coal sales decreased by 22% from 7.3 Mt to 5.7 Mt. The shortages resulted in record quarterly price settlements in the second quarter across all metallurgical coal products, with Metallurgical Coal being the first producer to settle quarterly pricing arrangements. Early engagement with customers allowed the business to effectively manage the impacts of the floods. Global steel production continued to grow, but developed economies are still producing at below pre- recession levels with steel prices being supported by escalated raw material costs rather than a recovery in steel demand.

Export metallurgical coal production decreased by 19% to 5.7 Mt and thermal coal production decreased by 17% to 6.1 Mt, both owing to the weather. The recovery actions initiated in the first quarter resulted in export metallurgical coal sales increasing by 79% in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. Projects Studies continue at the greenfield projects of Grosvenor, Moranbah South, Dartbrook and Drayton South in order to meet expectations of growing demand for both metallurgical and thermal coal. It is expected that a Board approval decision in relation to the development of the 4.3 Mtpa Grosvenor metallurgical coal project in Australia will be taken within the next 12 months. Outlook Production volumes are expected to increase in the second half of the year as operations return to normal levels of activity and the recovery initiatives deliver some of the lost volumes. Significant progress has been made in embedding longwall productivity improvement. A comprehensive programme to reduce the impact of rain on the open cut operations ahead of the next wet season has been implemented. The global market outlook for hard coking coal remains strong, driven by continued demand from India and China. A gradual price decline from record levels is expected in the second half of 2011 as Australian metallurgical coal supply recovers from the disruptions in the early part of the year. A continued focus on longwall productivity and asset optimisation programmes is expected to increase production in 2012.

South African thermal coal exports were 0.9 Mt lower, mainly owing to poor performance by Transnet adversely affecting railings to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT). Indonesian exports continued to increase during the first half of 2011 to satisfy both Chinese demand and increased imports of low calorific value thermal coal into India. Strong market fundamentals resulted in South African (RBCT) and Australian (Newcastle) FOB prices averaging $121 per tonne and $124 per tonne respectively for the period, an increase of approximately $30 per tonne (33%) over the same period in 2010.

Production for the first half of the year increased by 4% to 27.6 Mt. The ramp-up of Zibulo has proceeded well with some sections opening ahead of schedule; however, these gains have been partly offset by geological issues at some of the underground operations and heavy rainfall at the opencast operations. Costs were impacted by above-inflation increases in labour, power and fuel, as well as additional stock management costs resulting from an increase in stock levels at the operations following train derailments during the first quarter, as well as the 20-day extended maintenance stoppage during May and June 2011 on the railway line to RBCT. Export sales volumes were also similarly affected. Colombia At Cerrejon, operating profit of $212 million was 48% higher. This performance was principally due to higher thermal coal prices in the European and American markets arising from a gradual recovery in demand, underpinned by supply constraints following the extreme rainfall experienced globally in the fourth quarter of 2010. Production was negatively affected by the increase in rain related stoppages during the period, but this impact was mitigated by mining efficiencies and scheduling resulting in production being only 3% lower than the first six months of 2010. Projects The 6.6 Mtpa Zibulo project in South Africa produced its first coal in the third quarter of 2009. Full production is expected to be achieved during the fourth quarter of 2012. The New Largo Coal Project, which is currently in feasibility stage, has two main elements: a conveyor which will run from an existing coal plant to an Eskom power station and a new opencast mine. The operation is planned to mine domestic thermal coal and Thermal Coal is currently negotiating a coal supply agreement with Eskom for delivery into its Kusile power station. Feasibility studies commenced in August 2010 and are expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2011, for the conveyor and the first quarter of 2012 for the mine. Anglo American Board approval is anticipated to be sought by the third quarter 2012. First coal on conveyor is expected in the fourth quarter of 2013 and first coal from the mine is planned for 2015. The current life of mine is approximately 50 years. The Cerrejon P500 Phase1 expansion project, to increase production at Cerrejon by 8 Mtpa, is targeting final approval from its shareholders in the third quarter of 2011. First coal is targeted during the fourth quarter in 2013 and the project is expected to achieve full production at the end of 2015. Outlook The thermal coal market is expected to be tighter in the second half of 2011 as increased supply from Indonesia, Australia and Americas is not expected to satisfy stronger seaborne demand. The Asian markets are likely to remain strong particularly in India and China. In addition, Japanese demand is expected to recover following the earthquake and tsunami. In Germany, thermal coal is expected to be a substitute for nuclear power generation, which has been reduced in response to the Fukushima disaster.

This benefit was partially offset by a weaker US dollar, which had a material impact on Chilean peso denominated input costs, and higher power and fuel related costs. The decision to incur additional logistics costs at Collahuasi to maximise sales whilst the Patache port shiploader was being repaired also had an impact on unit costs.

30 June 2011 30 June 2010 Average market prices (c/lb) 426 323 Average realised prices (c/lb) 422 308 Copper prices increased strongly during the first two months of the year to a new nominal record high of 460 c/lb, reflecting expectations of improving global economic conditions. Despite these positive signs, the global economic recovery began to lose momentum during the second quarter, as higher oil prices and the impact of the Japanese earthquake curtailed global manufacturing activity. An intensification of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, further tightening of monetary policy in China and other emerging economies and concerns over the end of quantitative easing in the US, all contributed to downward pressure on many commodity prices. The copper price ended the half year period at 422 c/lb despite such pressures, with the realised price averaging 422 c/lb over the first six months, a 37% increase compared with the same period in 2010. The negative provisional price adjustment of $36 million was 69% lower than the first half of 2010. Operating performance 6 months 6 months ended ended
30 June 2011 30 June 2010 Attributable copper production (tonnes) 289,100 315,500 Total copper production of 289,100 tonnes was 8% lower than the same period in 2010. Attributable production from Collahuasi was 12% lower at 103,200 tonnes, principally due to abnormally high rainfall in the first quarter, which affected throughput and also resulted in mining areas with lower than anticipated grades. Los Bronces` production was 9% lower at 101,700 tonnes, also due to anticipated lower grades and a temporary failure in a return- solutions pipeline impacting cathode production, partly offset by higher throughput as a result of asset optimisation and more favourable ore characteristics. El Soldado`s production was 11% lower at 17,900 tonnes due to lower throughput and recoveries, although partly offset by the implementation of an asset optimisation project which allows additional copper to be recovered by processing slag from the Chagres smelter. Mantos Blancos` production was 2% lower at 36,100 tonnes as a result of lower grades. Mantoverde`s production was 2% higher than prior year at 30,200 tonnes owing to significantly higher throughput, partially offset by lower grades. The impact on sales volumes at Collahuasi resulting from the December 2010 shiploader failure at the Patache port was largely negated by the successful implementation of a contingency plan that included shipping copper concentrate via the Arica, Iquique and Antofagasta ports. Remaining stocks of concentrate are expected to be sold in the second half with the shiploader now repaired and in use. Projects Construction of the $2.8 billion Los Bronces expansion project continues to progress and remains on schedule for first production in the fourth quarter of 2011. Production at Los Bronces is scheduled to increase to 490 ktpa over the first three years of full production following project completion and to average 400 ktpa over the first 10 years. Despite the current industry-wide cost pressures, Los Bronces is expected to have highly attractive cash operating costs, and reserves and resources that support a mine life of more than 30 years, with further expansion potential. At Collahuasi, an expansion project to increase concentrator plant capacity to 150,000 tonnes of ore per day, an annual average production increment of 19,000 tonnes per year of copper over the estimated life of mine, will be commissioned in the third quarter of 2011 and a further project to increase throughput to 160,000 tonnes of ore per day, an annual average production increment of 20,000 tonnes per year of copper over the estimated life of mine, in the first half of 2013 was recently approved. A pre-feasibility study has also recently commenced to evaluate the next phases of expansion at Collahuasi, with options to ultimately increase annual production to at least 1 Mt of copper. In Peru, Anglo American is focusing on obtaining the necessary water permits for the Quellaveco project to progress to Board approval for the construction. Also in Peru, early-stage work continues at the Michiquillay project. Drilling relating to the geological exploration programme will restart once discussions with the local communities have been completed. It is currently envisaged that the project will move to the pre-feasibility stage following the completion of drilling analysis and ore body modelling. Activity at the Pebble project in Alaska continues with the focus on completing a pre-feasibility study by late 2012. An environmental baseline document and a project update will be released in the second half of 2011. Ongoing efforts include an independent scientific review of the project`s Environmental Baseline Studies facilitated by the Keystone Center. Outlook Operational improvements and the scheduled commissioning of the Los Bronces expansion project in the fourth quarter are expected to lead to marginally higher full year production levels compared with 2010. Copper production is expected to increase significantly in 2012 as the Los Bronces expansion project ramps up towards full capacity. Industry wide input cost pressures are expected to remain tight in the short term, particularly in relation to power and fuel related costs, although these will be partially mitigated by the increased production from the expanded Los Bronces operation. Ongoing market concerns arising from uncertainties over the near-term outlook for the global economy may lead to relatively pronounced short-term volatility in commodity prices, including copper. However, the medium-to long-term fundamentals for copper remain strong, predominantly driven by robust demand from the emerging economies and the lack of new supply. NICKEL 6 months 6 months

Average market prices (c/lb) 1,159 962 Average realised prices (c/lb) 1,105 969 The average nickel market price was 20% higher than for the same period in 2010, supported by growth in the stainless steel industry. Nickel demand growth was not matched by growth in industry supply which was affected by delays to a number of projects. During the first half of 2011, LME nickel stocks decreased by 22% from a high of 137,766 tonnes on 14 January, to 107,148 tonnes on 30 June, indicative of the underlying physical demand for nickel. After a strong beginning to the year, however, nickel prices moved downwards in the second quarter, which may be attributed to uncertainty around the European economy, softer summer demand, the arrival of production from new projects, including Barro Alto, to the market and an increase in nickel pig iron production in China. Operating performance 6 months 6 months ended ended
30 June 2011 30 June 2010 Attributable nickel production (tonnes) 12,700 10,100 Nickel production increased by 26% to 12,700 tonnes owing to higher output at Loma de Niquel and delivery of the Barro Alto project. In the first half of the year there were two additional months of production from Loma de Niquel`s Electric Furnace 2, which had been restarted from March 2010, while the power rationing imposed by the Venezuelan government in the first half of 2010 did not apply in the first half of 2011. However, in June, the Venezuelan government announced that power rationing would be imposed in the second half of 2011. The Loma de Niquel operation is pursuing a mitigation process and has hired on-site generators. The newly commissioned Barro Alto operation produced 1,100 tonnes during the first half and is expected to produce around 12,000 tonnes to 14,000 tonnes in 2011. Production levels at Codemin were in line with 2010. Projects First metal from the Barro Alto ferronickel project was produced on schedule in March 2011. The new nickel plant is expected to reach full production capacity in the second half of 2012. Barro Alto will have a competitive cost position and is expected to produce an average of 36 ktpa of nickel at full production, and 41 ktpa during the first five years. Outlook Production of nickel during the second half of the year is expected to be significantly higher, reflecting the ramp-up of Barro Alto. In Venezuela, production will be affected by power rationing, despite mitigation measures. In the short-to mid-term, nickel prices will be heavily influenced by the successful delivery of new projects, some of which are using unproven processing technology, as well as the introduction to the market of physically backed Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The long term outlook for nickel, however, remains positive, underpinned by stainless steel demand growth, estimated at more than 5% per annum, driven by industrialisation and urbanisation in emerging economies. PLATINUM 6 months 6 months $ million ended ended (unless otherwise stated) 30 June 2011 30 June 2010 Operating profit 542 418 EBITDA 931 785 Net operating assets 13,258 12,169 Capital expenditure 410 431 Share of Group operating profit 9% 10% Share of Group net operating assets 29% 31% Platinum recorded an operating profit of $542 million, a 30% increase, primarily due to higher sales volumes during a period of robust pricing. Sales volumes of refined platinum and the overall average realised basket price increased by 13% and 15% respectively, the benefits of which were partially offset by a stronger rand on average. Cash operating costs per equivalent refined platinum ounce increased by 13% compared with the first half of 2010. Markets The average dollar realised price for platinum was $1,782 per ounce for the period, a 12% increase compared with $1,593 per ounce in the comparable period. The average realised prices for palladium and rhodium sales were $775 per ounce (six months ended June 2010: $462) and $2,266 per ounce (six months ended June 2010: $2,600) respectively. The average realised price on nickel sales was $11.55 per pound (six months ended June 2010: $9.52). The overall average realised dollar basket price was 15% higher at $2,927 per platinum ounce sold. Anglo American Platinum (Platinum) maintains its view that the platinum market will remain in balance in 2011 owing to continued recovery in the autocatalyst and industrial segments and the sustained strength of the jewellery segment, particularly in China. Platinum expects primary supply to improve from 2010 levels, implying underlying growth in demand markets. Primary supply growth will be challenged by safety-related and other labour issues. Autocatalysts Global vehicle production in 2011 is expected to reach in excess of 75 million vehicles, implying a 3% growth from 2010 levels. The earthquake in Japan resulted in supply disruption for the Japanese auto manufacturers, with estimates that the disaster resulted in a worldwide production loss of approximately 2.8 million vehicles. Most of this loss is expected to be recovered by the second quarter of 2012. Sales volumes across all major markets, with the exception of Japan, have been higher in the period compared with 2010 levels. This trend is expected to continue as the market continues to recover towards pre-crisis levels. Industrial Following the recovery from the previous year, demand from the industrial sector is expected to remain strong in the near to medium term. Demand for PGM- related consumer goods, including electronics, packaging and other chemicals, continues to show strong growth, particularly in Asian markets. The fuel cell industry continues to develop in a commercial capacity, with significant fuel cell unit growth in the stationary power sector, driven by demand in residential units and off-grid mobile base stations. Jewellery The platinum jewellery market benefited from relative price stability and higher gold prices. The developed jewellery markets have remained healthy, with some regional variation on performance. Jewellery purchases in China have increased by almost 20% in the first half of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. The Indian jewellery market development programme continues to show success. Investment Overall platinum holdings in ETFs have increased by approximately 15% in the first half of 2011. Net long speculative positions have declined by 36% over the same period, exhibiting a lack of general confidence in the markets. Despite this reduction, the platinum price remains resilient and has been supported above $1,700 per ounce. Operating performance Equivalent refined platinum production (equivalent ounces are mined ounces expressed as refined ounces) from the mines managed by Platinum and its joint venture partners for the first half of 2011 was 1.16 million ounces, a slight decrease of 3% when compared to the first half of 2010. Wholly owned mines produced 763,100 equivalent refined platinum ounces, an increase of 2% compared with the first half of 2010. The majority of this increase was from Mogalakwena, Unki and Thembelani. Unki was delivered successfully, on schedule and within budget in January 2011 and contributed 22,400 additional equivalent refined platinum ounces. In addition, Mogalakwena open-pit mine continued to perform strongly providing Platinum with a flexible production source. This was however, partly offset by lower volumes from Bathopele, Khuseleka and Union mines. Refined platinum production of 1.2 million ounces for the first half of 2011 represents an increase of 17% in comparison with the same period in 2010. Eight employees lost their lives during the period and Platinum extends its sincere condolences to their families, friends and colleagues. Platinum had 33 safety stoppages in the first half of 2011 compared to 17 in the first half of 2010, which was in line with the rest of the industry. Platinum is continuing to work with Government and Labour towards zero harm. Projects Capital expenditure for the first half of 2011, excluding capitalised interest, amounted to $410 million, of which $223 million was spent on projects, $138 million on stay-in-business capital and $49 million on waste stripping at Mogalakwena Mine. Project capital expenditure for the first half of 2011 was mostly spent on the Thembelani 2 shaft replacement project ($36 million), the Mortimer Furnace Upgrade ($35 million), the Twickenham Platinum Mine project ($34 million), the base metal refinery 33,000 tonnes nickel expansion project ($32 million), the Unki Platinum mine project ($18 million), and the Khuseleka ore replacement project ($13 million). The Unki Platinum Mine Project was handed over to operations in January 2011 and is expected to reach steady state production of 120,000 tonnes milled per month about a year ahead of schedule. The Base Metal Refinery 33,000 tonnes nickel expansion project has produced first metal in line with expectations. It is expected to reach steady state by the end of the year, as planned. Outlook Platinum is expecting a stronger second half for the year and maintained an expected refined production target of 2.6 million ounces of platinum for 2011. This implies production volume of 1.4 million ounces of platinum in the second half of 2011 given that we produced 1.2 million ounces in the first half. Platinum maintains a relentless focus on mitigating industry-wide cost pressures by improving productivity, increasing efficiency and managing supply chain and procurement costs, benefiting from Anglo American`s global initiatives. These initiatives are expected to improve unit costs in the second half of the year. Platinum`s project ranking and prioritisation to focus on less capital intensive projects in the near term, is expected to reduce capital expenditure for 2011 from $1.16 billion to $1.1 billion, excluding capitalised interest. DIAMONDS 6 months 6 months $ million ended ended (unless otherwise stated) 30 June 2011 30 June 2010 Share of associate`s operating profit 450 261 EBITDA 517 340 Group`s associate investment in De Beers (1) 2,234 1,783 Share of Group operating profit 7% 6% (1) Excludes shareholder loans of $315 million (30 June 2010: $367 million) Anglo American`s record share of operating profit from De Beers of $450 million, an increase of 72%, reflected the impact of significant price growth during the first half of 2011. Markets Sales during the period were driven mainly by continued growth mainly in the Middle East and Asian retail markets and their impact on rough price growth. Sales of rough diamonds by the Diamond Trading Company (DTC) in the first half of 2011 were $3.5 billion (including those through joint ventures), a 33% increase compared with 2010, driven by price growth of approximately 35%. This is the highest ever sales figure recorded by De Beers for the first half of the year since privatisation, buoyed by continued retail demand from the Indian and Chinese consumer markets and stronger than expected demand in American. Forevermark (a diamond brand owned by the De Beers Group) continues its expansion into core retail markets of China, Hong Kong and Japan and has recently launched in India, Singapore and the Caribbean. The Forevermark brand is now available from a small number of stores in the US, with further expansion planned later this year. During the first half of the year, De Beers Diamond Jewellers (De Beers` joint venture with LVMH) announced the strategic launch of the brand in China with the opening of its first mainland China store in Beijing, its first store in Kazakhstan in Almaty and a new store in Dubai at Dubai Mall. The company will continue its expansion in 2011 with the opening of further stores in mainland China, a second store in Hong Kong. Operating performance De Beers has continued to focus on efficiency improvements and on maintaining a lower sustainable level of overhead base, which has resulted in a favourable impact on earnings. In the first six months of 2011, De Beers` production totalled 15.53 million carats, in line with the first half of 2010, reflecting the impact of maintenance and asset management difficulties and, to an extent, excessive rainfall in southern Africa. Element Six recorded a good first half performance in respect of both sales and profitability, with robust demand across its product ranges. Operating performance was impacted by, inter alia, operating challenges and a weak US dollar, but Element Six is well positioned for the remainder of the year. Commitment to safety remains De Beers` most important priority. There have been three loss of life incidents at De Beers during the first half - two at Namdeb and one at Debswana. Sincere condolences are expressed to the families of those concerned. Comprehensive safety reviews are being carried out at all De Beers operations. Projects and restructuring Debswana`s Jwaneng mine Cut-8 extension project is progressing satisfactorily, on schedule and on budget. De Beers Canada recently completed a six month optimisation study on the Snap Lake Mine to more economically extract this complicated, but promising ore body that has a forecast 20-year life-of-mine. Disposals of assets have continued in the period, and in January, De Beers Consolidated Mines (DBCM) announced that it had entered into an agreement with Petra Diamonds to sell Finsch mine as a going concern for a consideration of R1.425 billion ($210 million), plus assumption of rehabilitation liabilities. In May, DBCM announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell Namaqualand Mines to Trans Hex in a transaction valued at R225 million. This completes the De Beers asset disposal programme. In May, De Beers and the Government of the Republic of Namibia (GRN) announced a new agreement which will allow GRN to increase its effective shareholding in De Beers Marine Namibia from 15% to 50% through the establishment of a new 50:50 joint venture holding company. This will not change marketing arrangements and all diamond production from Namdeb will continue to be sorted, valued and marketed exclusively by the DTC together with Namibia Diamond Trading Company, which is also a 50:50 joint venture between the GRN and De Beers. Outlook Despite the ongoing turmoil with the global economy, De Beers is encouraged by the continued strong growth in price and demand during the first six months of 2011 is highly encouraging. De Beers is confident that the exceptional growth in retail markets in India and Asia will continue to drive demand for diamonds. Reports from the recent Jewelers` Circular Keystone (JCK) tradeshow indicate that the all important Christmas season in the US and Diwali are expected to be strong.

However, on a directly comparable basis, taking into consideration the impact of European businesses that were sold in 2010, Tarmac`s operating profit showed a reduction of $38 million. Tarmac`s directly comparable EBITDA performance was 45% lower. Quarry materials The UK Quarry Materials business experienced strong first-half volumes, as severe weather conditions towards the end of 2010 generated significant carry- over of demand, particularly asphalt volumes on major trunk road schemes, and on Local Authority schemes. Concrete volumes decreased due to difficult trading conditions arising from the implementation of various government austerity measures. The high cost of oil, its impact on input costs, and the recovery of such costs through price increases remain the key challenges for the business. The 2011 outlook in the UK is characterised by impending government spending cuts, rising cost inflation and fragile private sector recovery. Building products Housing, retail and commercial markets have all experienced a decline, affecting all products. Volumes have suffered as a result of the general market decline and a more competitive pricing environment, where customers and competitors have become more focussed on price and less on other value drivers. The Precast Solutions business, which supplies the commercial market, is in the process of closure. Cost reduction initiatives continue to be high on the agenda. Although a number of initiatives are in progress to improve performance, the short term market outlook remains difficult. Scaw Metals The sale of the Moly-Cop and AltaSteel operations of the Scaw Metals Group was completed on 31 December 2010. Scaw Metals generated an operating profit of $27 million, a 67% decrease, largely as a result of the above disposal. Strong performances were recorded by the Grinding Media and Wire Rod Product operations, which benefited from improved demand from mining and offshore customers as well as a turnaround in business performance, partly offset by the difficult trading conditions in the Rolled Products operation. Weak demand within the construction sector has resulted in selling prices not fully reflecting rapidly rising input costs, resulting in reduced margins. However, a strong focus by management on cost saving initiatives in all operations and sales to downstream businesses has mitigated the effects of weak margins to some extent. Total production of steel products was 356,300 tonnes. Copebras Copebras generated a $54 million operating profit, a 350% increase on the previous period. Sales volumes of low analysis fertilisers and DCP (animal feed supplement) increased, largely as a result of a very strong Brazilian `mini crop` which generated unusually high demand for fertiliser products in the period. The strong performance was partially offset by increased input costs, particularly from the key non-controllable elements of sulphur, ammonia and energy and the strength of the Brazilian real. Domestic soybean and grain industries continue to drive local demand and the outlook for the product markets continues to be positive, with international benchmark fertiliser products prices expected to remain strong for the balance of 2011. The fundamentals for soft commodities remain positive for the medium term, characterised by the continuing high demand for grains worldwide that is underpinning an anticipated strong demand for fertilisers. The Goias 2 project presents an opportunity for future expansion. Catalao Catalao generated an operating profit of $21 million, a 25% decrease. Sales of niobium were 7% lower, mostly attributable to the lower metallurgical recovery of niobium resulting from the treatment of refractory oxide ore remnants, ahead of the planned transition to unweathered ore in 2013. Lower sales volumes were partially offset by higher niobium prices and the market continues to show steady growth in both demand and price, particularly in the high strength, low alloy steel sector. The longer term market outlook remains strong. Following the positive results of a drilling campaign in 2010, design and engineering work has commenced on the project for the treatment of unweathered ore. This is expected to increase production volumes substantially, with commissioning expected to start in late 2013. Peace River Coal Peace River Coal delivered export sales of 515,300 tonnes of hard coking coal, a 26% increase over the total coal sales tonnes in the equivalent prior year period, partly driven by operational improvements and shipping timing differences.

Basis of preparation The Condensed financial statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTR) of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the United Kingdom as applicable to interim financial reporting. The Condensed financial statements represent a `condensed set of financial statements` as referred to in the DTR issued by the FSA. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for a full annual financial report and are to be read in conjunction with the Group`s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted for use by the European Union. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2010 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in sections 435 (1) and (2) of the Companies Act 2006. This information was derived from the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2010, a copy of which has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor`s report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis of matter and did not contain a statement under sections 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. Accounting policies The Condensed financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of pension assets and liabilities and certain financial instruments. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group`s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, with the exception of certain amendments to accounting standards or new interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which were applicable from 1 January 2011. These have not had a material impact on the Group. Going concern The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are set out in the Financial review of Group results on pages 11 to 15. The Group`s net debt at 30 June 2011 was $6.8 billion (including related hedges) (31 December 2010: $7.4 billion) representing a gearing level of 14.0% (31 December 2010: 16.3%). Further analysis of net debt is set out in note 12 and details of borrowings and facilities are set out in note 11. The directors have considered the Group`s cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2012. The Board is satisfied that the Group`s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance show that the Group will be able to operate within the level of its current facilities for the foreseeable future. For this reason the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Condensed financial statements. Non-GAAP measures Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance reported in accordance with IFRS. The IFRS results reflect all items that affect reported performance and therefore it is important to consider the IFRS measures alongside the non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of key non-GAAP data to directly comparable IFRS financial measures are presented in notes 2, 5 and 9 to the Condensed financial statements. 2. Segmental information The Group`s segments are aligned to the structure of business units based around core commodities. Each business unit has a management team that is accountable to the Chief executive. The Kumba Iron Ore, Iron Ore Brazil and Samancor business units have been aggregated as the Iron Ore and Manganese segment on the basis of the ultimate product produced (ferrous metals). Assets originally identified for divestment as part of the restructuring programme announced in October 2009, are managed as a separate business unit, Other Mining and Industrial, and accordingly presented as a separate segment. In 2011 the Group decided to retain Catalao, Copebras and Peace River Coal. As these businesses continued to be managed within the Other Mining and Industrial business unit during the six month period, they are presented within Other Mining and Industrial in the segmental analysis. The Group`s Executive Committee evaluates the financial performance of the Group and its segments principally with reference to operating profit before special items and remeasurements which includes the Group`s attributable share of associates` operating profit before special items and remeasurements. Segments predominantly derive revenue as follows - Iron Ore and Manganese: iron ore, manganese ore and alloys; Metallurgical Coal: metallurgical coal; Thermal Coal: thermal coal; Copper and Nickel: base metals; Platinum: platinum group metals; Diamonds: rough and polished diamonds and diamond jewellery; and Other Mining and Industrial: heavy building materials, steel products, phosphates, ferroniobium and, until February 2011, zinc. The Exploration segment includes the cost of the Group`s exploration activities across all segments, excluding Diamonds. The segment results are stated after elimination of inter-segment transactions and include an allocation of corporate costs. Analysis by segment Revenue and operating profit Revenue (1)

Operating profit and underlying earnings by segment The following tables analyse operating profit (including attributable share of associates` operating profit) for the financial period by segment and reconciles it to underlying earnings by segment. Underlying earnings is an alternative earnings measure which the directors consider to be a useful additional measure of the Group`s performance. Underlying earnings is profit for the financial period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company before special items and remeasurements and is therefore presented after non- controlling interests. A reconciliation from `Profit for the financial period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company` to `Underlying earnings for the financial period` is provided in note 9.

Special items and remeasurements Special items are those items of financial performance that the Group believes should be separately disclosed on the face of the income statement to assist in the understanding of the underlying financial performance achieved by the Group. Such items are material by nature or amount to the period`s results and require separate disclosure in accordance with IAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements paragraph 97. Special items that relate to the operating performance of the Group are classified as operating special items and include impairment charges and reversals and other exceptional items, including restructuring costs. Non-operating special items include profits and losses on disposals of investments and businesses as well as certain adjustments relating to business combinations. Remeasurements comprise other items which the Group believes should be reported separately to aid an understanding of the underlying financial performance of the Group. This category includes: - unrealised gains and losses on `non-hedge` derivative instruments open at the period end (in respect of future transactions) and the reversal of the historical marked to market value of such instruments settled in the period. Where the underlying transaction is recorded in the income statement, the realised gains or losses are recorded in underlying earnings in the same period as the underlying transaction for which such instruments provide an economic, but not formally designated, hedge. If the underlying transaction is recorded in the balance sheet, e.g. capital expenditure, the realised amount remains in remeasurements on settlement of the derivative. Such amounts are classified in the income statement as operating when the underlying exposure is in respect of the operating performance of the Group and otherwise as financing. - foreign exchange impact arising in US dollar functional currency entities where tax calculations are generated based on local currency financial information and hence deferred tax is susceptible to currency fluctuations. Such amounts are included within income tax expense. 6 months ended 30.06.11 Subsidiaries

(3) Of this, $397 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: $25 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $1,246 million) relates to disposals of subsidiaries and consolidated businesses and nil (six months ended 30 June 2010: nil; year ended 31 December 2010: $440 million) relates to fair value gains on retained investments (see note 13). Subsidiaries` and joint ventures` special items and remeasurements Operating special items Impairment and related charges of $15 million in the six months ended 30 June 2011 (six months ended 30 June 2010: $32 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $107 million) principally relate to accelerated depreciation of $42 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: $36 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $97 million), mainly arising at Loma de Niquel, partially offset by the reversal of a provision recorded as part of a previous impairment. The accelerated depreciation charge at Loma de Niquel has arisen due to ongoing uncertainty over the renewal of three concessions that expire in 2012 and over the restoration of 13 concessions that have been cancelled. Restructuring costs principally relate to retrenchment and consultancy costs within the Platinum segment (2010: Other Mining and Industrial and Platinum segments). Operating remeasurements Operating remeasurements reflect a net gain of $328 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: loss of $33 million; year ended 31 December 2010: gain of $386 million) principally in respect of non-hedge derivatives of capital expenditure in Iron Ore Brazil. Derivatives which have been realised during the period resulted in a net operating remeasurement gain since their inception of $224 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: gain of $69 million; year ended 31 December 2010: gain of $255 million). Profit on disposals In February 2011 the Group completed the disposal of its 100% interest in the Lisheen zinc mine (Lisheen) and its 74% interest in Black Mountain Mining (Proprietary) Limited (Black Mountain), which holds 100% of the Black Mountain mine and the Gamsberg project, resulting in a net cash inflow of $499 million, generating a profit on disposal of $397 million. Lisheen and Black Mountain were included in the Other Mining and Industrial segment. Financing remeasurements Financing remeasurements reflect a net gain of $46 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: gain of $152 million; year ended 31 December 2010: gain of $105 million) and relate to an embedded interest rate derivative, non-hedge derivatives of debt and other financing remeasurements. Special items and remeasurements tax Special items and remeasurements tax amounted to a credit of $140 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: charge of $57 million; year ended 31 December 2010: charge of $110 million). This relates to a credit for one-off tax items of $154 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: nil; year ended 31 December 2010: nil), a tax remeasurement credit of $126 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: charge of $62 million; year ended 31 December 2010: credit of $122 million) and a tax charge on special items and remeasurements of $140 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: credit of $5 million; year ended 31 December 2010: charge of $232 million). One-off tax items principally relate to the recognition of deferred tax assets in Iron Ore Brazil which were originally written off as part of the impairment charges related to the Amapa iron ore system in 2009, and a capital gains tax refund related to a prior year disposal. 5.

The reconciling items are: 6 months ended 6 months ended Year ended US$ million 30.06.11 30.06.10 31.12.10 Profit on ordinary activities before tax 6,571 3,903 10,928 Less: Share of net income from associates (605) (384) (822) Group profit on ordinary activities before tax 5,966 3,519 10,106 Tax on profit on ordinary activities calculated at United Kingdom corporation tax rate of 26.5% (2010: 28%) 1,581 985 2,830 Tax effects of: Special items and remeasurements (343) 75 (406) Items not taxable/deductible for tax purposes Exploration expenditure 10 10 13 Non-deductible/taxable net foreign exchange loss/(gain) 6 5 (3) Non-taxable/deductible net interest (income)/expense (19) (4) 2 Other non-deductible expenses 72 62 125 Other non-taxable income (27) (19) (40) Temporary difference adjustments Movements in tax losses (5) (7) (50) Enhanced tax depreciation - - (41) Other temporary differences (13) 15 (69) Other adjustments Secondary tax on companies and dividend withholding taxes 328 265 657 Effect of differences between local and United Kingdom rates (1) (139) (218) Prior year adjustments to current tax (61) (26) (7) Other adjustments 28 (6) 16 Income tax expense 1,556 1,216 2,809 IAS 1 (Revised) requires income from associates to be presented net of tax on the face of the income statement. Associates` tax is therefore not included within the Group`s income tax expense. Associates` tax included within `Share of net income from associates` for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is $221 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: $171 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $315 million). Excluding special items and remeasurements this becomes $217 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: $172 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $313 million). The effective rate of tax before special items and remeasurements including attributable share of associates` tax for the six months ended 30 June 2011 was 31.8%. This was in line with the equivalent effective rate of 31.9% in the six months ended 30 June 2010 and in the year ended 31 December 2010. In future periods it is expected that the effective tax rate, including associates` tax, will remain above the United Kingdom statutory tax rate. 9. Earnings per share 6 months ended 6 months ended Year ended US$ 30.06.11 30.06.10 31.12.10 Profit for the financial period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company Basic earnings per share 3.30 1.71 5.43 Diluted earnings per share 3.15 1.65 5.18 Headline earnings for the financial period (1) Basic earnings per share 2.96 1.74 4.27 Diluted earnings per share 2.84 1.68 4.09 Underlying earnings for the financial period (1) Basic earnings per share 2.58 1.84 4.13 Diluted earnings per share 2.47 1.76 3.96 (1) Basic and diluted earnings per share are shown based on headline earnings, a Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE Limited) defined performance measure, and underlying earnings, which the directors consider to be a useful additional measure of the Group`s performance. Both earnings measures are further explained below. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following data: 6 months ended 6 months ended Year ended US$ million (unless otherwise stated) 30.06.11 30.06.10 31.12.10 Earnings Basic earnings, being profit for the financial period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company 3,988 2,061 6,544 Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares Interest payable on convertible bond (net of tax) 25 24 49 Unwinding of discount on convertible bond (net of tax) 25 22 47 Diluted earnings 4,038 2,107 6,640 Number of shares (million) Basic number of ordinary shares outstanding (1) 1,209 1,205 1,206 Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares (2) Share options and awards 10 14 14 Convertible bond 62 61 61 Diluted number of ordinary shares outstanding (1) 1,281 1,280 1,281 (1) Basic and diluted number of ordinary shares outstanding represent the weighted average for the period. The average number of ordinary shares in issue excludes shares held by employee benefit trusts and Anglo American plc shares held by Group companies. (2) Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue on the assumption of conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. In the six months ended 30 June 2011 there were 188,733 share options (six months ended 30 June 2010: nil; year ended 31 December 2010: nil) which were potentially dilutive but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The Group has $1.7 billion of senior convertible notes in issue (see note 11). The impact of the potential conversion of these notes has been included in diluted earnings and the diluted number of ordinary shares outstanding. Underlying earnings is presented after non-controlling interests and excludes special items and remeasurements (see note 4). Underlying earnings is distinct from `Headline earnings`, which is a JSE Limited defined performance measure. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, based on headline and underlying earnings, uses the following earnings data: 6 months ended 6 months ended Year ended

In addition, 29,257 ordinary shares of 54 86/91 US cents each were allotted upon the conversion of Anglo American plc convertible bonds due 2014 (30 June 2010: nil; 31 December 2010: nil), see note 11. In the event of winding up, the holders of the cumulative preference shares will be entitled to the repayment of a sum equal to the nominal capital paid up, or credited as paid up, on the cumulative preference shares held by them and any accrued dividend, whether such dividend has been earned or declared or not, calculated up to the date of the winding up. 11.

Convertible bond In April 2009 the Group issued $1.7 billion of 4% senior convertible notes (the Notes) which, at the holders` election, could be exchanged for ordinary shares of Anglo American plc at a conversion price of GBP18.6370. The Group will have the option to call the Notes after three years from the date of issuance subject to certain conditions and, unless the Notes are redeemed, converted or cancelled, they will mature in 2014. Following the 2010 final dividend declaration and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes, the conversion price was adjusted to GBP18.3600 with effect from 13 April 2011. On issuance of the Notes, the fair values of the debt and equity conversion feature were $1,330 million and $355 million respectively. The equity conversion feature is presented in equity within `Fair value and other reserves`. Derivative financial liabilities - Anglo American Sur Anglo American inherited a 1978 agreement with Enami, a wholly owned Chilean state controlled minerals company, when it acquired Anglo American Sur in 2002. In 2008 this agreement was transferred by Enami to Codelco, the Chilean state copper company. Anglo American Sur is wholly owned by the Group and owns the Los Bronces and El Soldado copper mines and the Chagres smelter. The agreement grants Codelco the right, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to acquire up to a 49% non-controlling interest in Anglo American Sur. The right to exercise the option is restricted to a window that occurs once every three years in the month of January until January 2027, with the next window in January 2012. The calculations of the price at which Codelco can exercise its rights are complex and confidential but do, inter alia, take account of company profitability over a five year period. Under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the fair valuation of the option is required to be performed from the perspective of a market participant in an arm`s length transaction and does not take into account specific factors relevant to any individual counterparty. In particular, the IAS 39 valuation does not incorporate any capital gains tax payable by the Group on exercise of the option to Codelco`s shareholder, the Chilean government. The option`s fair value is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying assets to which the option relates and the estimated option price. The estimated fair value of the underlying assets may vary significantly based on a market participant`s assumptions at any point in time, including, inter alia, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and discount rates. In addition, the option price must be estimated based on current assumptions about inputs that cannot be finalised in advance of the option window and are subject to significant fluctuations. Given the sensitivity of the calculation to the assumptions made, differing assumptions result in a wide range of potential values for the option. Notwithstanding this wide range, based on valuations determined using assumptions considered within a reasonable range, it has been concluded that the option has insufficient value, as determined by the applicable accounting standard, to warrant recognition on the balance sheet at 30 June 2011. 12.

Of this a net cash inflow of $486 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: $130 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $2,539 million) related to disposals of subsidiaries and $19 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: $30 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $256 million) related to the sale of interests in joint ventures. Disposals in the six months ended 30 June 2011 Disposals of subsidiaries during the six months ended 30 June 2011 related to the disposal of Lisheen and a 74% interest in Black Mountain (the Group`s remaining zinc operating assets) in the Other Mining and Industrial segment. The Group announced the sale of its zinc portfolio to Vedanta Resources plc on 10 May 2010, for a total consideration of $1,338 million on an attributable debt and cash free basis. Due to the regulatory approval and competition clearance processes, separate completion dates were expected for each of the businesses within the zinc portfolio. Following regulatory approval from the relevant authorities, the completion of the sale of Lisheen and Black Mountain took place in February 2011 for a combined net cash inflow of $499 million. Disposals in 2010 Disposals of subsidiaries and joint ventures during 2010 mainly related to disposals in the Other Mining and Industrial, Platinum and Metallurgical Coal segments. Disposals in the Other Mining and Industrial segment related to Moly-Cop and AltaSteel, the Skorpion zinc mine and Tarmac European businesses. Disposals in the Platinum segment mainly related to the Bafokeng-Rasimone Platinum mine transaction and disposals in the Metallurgical Coal segment mainly related to undeveloped coal assets. 14. Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale There were no assets or liabilities in disposal groups or non-current assets classified as held for sale at 30 June 2011. The following assets and liabilities relating to disposal groups were classified as held for sale at 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010.

These assets were included in the Other Mining and Industrial segment. (2) Relates to the Group`s portfolio of zinc assets for which disposal transactions had not completed at 31 December 2010 (Lisheen and a 74% interest in Black Mountain). 15. Contingent liabilities The Group is subject to various claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, and as set out in the 2007 demerger agreement, Anglo American and the Mondi Group have agreed to indemnify each other, subject to certain limitations, against certain liabilities. Having taken appropriate legal advice, the Group believes that the likelihood of a material liability arising is remote. At 30 June 2011 the Group and its subsidiaries had provided aggregate amounts of $992 million (30 June 2010: $757 million; 31 December 2010: $813 million) of loans and performance guarantees to banks and other third parties primarily in respect of environmental restoration and decommissioning obligations. No contingent liabilities were secured on the assets of the Group at 30 June 2011, 30 June 2010 or 31 December 2010. Other Kumba Iron Ore (Kumba) Sishen Supply Agreement arbitration Kumba`s Sishen Iron Ore Company (SIOC) notified ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited (ArcelorMittal) on 5 February 2010, that it was no longer entitled to receive 6.25 Mtpa of iron ore contract mined by SIOC at cost plus 3% from Sishen Mine, as a result of the fact that ArcelorMittal had failed to convert its old order mining rights. This contract mining agreement, concluded in 2001, was premised on ArcelorMittal owning an undivided 21.4% interest in the mineral rights of Sishen Mine. As a result of ArcelorMittal`s failure to convert its old order mining right, the contract mining agreement automatically lapsed and became inoperative in its entirety as of 1 May 2009. As a result, a dispute arose between SIOC and ArcelorMittal, which SIOC has referred to arbitration. Both parties have exchanged their respective pleadings, and the arbitration panel has been appointed. SIOC and ArcelorMittal reached an interim pricing arrangement in respect of the supply of iron ore to ArcelorMittal from the Sishen Mine. This arrangement will endure until 31 July 2011. In view of the fact that the arbitration proceedings between the two companies is anticipated to take place in the first half of 2012, SIOC and ArcelorMittal have now agreed to an addendum to the current interim supply agreement which extends the terms and conditions of the current interim agreement to allow sufficient time for the arbitration process to be finalised. The new interim pricing agreement, which is on the same terms and conditions as the first interim pricing agreement, will commence on 1 August 2011 and endure to 31 July 2012. 21.4% undivided share of the Sishen Mine mineral rights After ArcelorMittal failed to convert its old order rights, SIOC applied for the residual 21.4% mining right previously held by ArcelorMittal and its application was accepted by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) on 4 May 2009. A competing application for a prospecting right over the same area was also accepted by the DMR. SIOC objected to this acceptance. Notwithstanding this objection, a prospecting right over the 21.4% interest was granted by the DMR to Imperial Crown Trading 289 (Pty) Limited (ICT). SIOC initiated a review application in the North Gauteng High Court on 21 May 2010 in relation to the decision of the DMR to grant a prospecting right to ICT. This review application is enrolled for determination in the High Court on 15 August 2011. SIOC initiated an application on 14 December 2010 to interdict ICT from applying for a mining right in respect of the Sishen Mine and the DMR from accepting an application from ICT or granting such 21.4% mining right to ICT pending the final determination of the review application. This interdict application is currently pending. The DMR informed SIOC on 12 January 2011 that ICT had applied for a 21.4% mining right over Sishen Mine on 9 December 2010, and that the DMR had accepted this application on 23 December 2010. The DMR`s acceptance of the application means that the mining right application will now be evaluated according to the detailed process stipulated in the Mineral Resources & Petroleum Development Act 2004 before a decision is made as to whether or not to grant the mining right. SIOC does not believe that it was lawful for the DMR to have accepted ICT`s application pending the High Court Review initiated in May 2010, and has formally objected to, and appealed against, the DMR`s acceptance of ICT`s mining right application. SIOC`s interdict application to prevent the DMR from considering ICT`s mining rights application until the finalisation of the review proceedings is currently enrolled for determination on 15 August 2011. In addition, SIOC has challenged the DMR`s decision of 25 January 2011 to reject SIOC`s May 2009 application to be granted the residual 21.4% mining right by lodging an appeal. No decision on this appeal has been received to date. Finally, on 26 January 2011, SIOC lodged a new application for the 21.4% mining right. On 4 February 2011, SIOC successfully made an application to join ArcelorMittal as a respondent in the review process. The joinder application was granted by the High Court on 6 June 2011, and ArcelorMittal has submitted affidavits to the Court. SIOC will continue to take the necessary steps to protect its shareholders` interests in this regard. Anglo American South Africa Limited (AASA) AASA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant in 24 separate lawsuits, each one on behalf of a former mineworker (or his dependents or survivors) who allegedly contracted silicosis working for gold mining companies in which AASA was a shareholder and to which AASA provided various technical and administrative services. The aggregate amount of the 24 claims is less than $5 million, although if these claims are determined adversely to AASA, there are a substantial number of additional former mineworkers (or their dependents or survivors) who may seek to bring similar claims. The first trials of these claims are not expected before 2013. 16. Related party transactions The Group has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. The Company and its subsidiaries, in the ordinary course of business, enter into various sales, purchase and service transactions with joint ventures and associates and others in which the Group has a material interest. These transactions are under terms that are no less favourable than those arranged with third parties. These transactions are not considered to be significant. At 30 June 2011 the Group had provided loans to joint ventures of $331 million (30 June 2010: $284 million; 31 December 2010: $319 million). These loans are included in financial asset investments. Amounts payable to joint ventures at 30 June 2011 were $43 million (30 June 2010: nil; 31 December 2010: $59 million). Dividends received from associates during the six months ended 30 June 2011 totalled $165 million (six months ended 30 June 2010: $72 million; year ended 31 December 2010: $255 million), as disclosed in the Consolidated cash flow statement. In addition to the investments in associates disclosed on the Consolidated balance sheet, the Group had provided loans to associates at 30 June 2011 of $621 million (30 June 2010: $481 million; 31 December 2010: $531 million). These are included in financial asset investments. At 30 June 2011 the directors of the Company and their immediate relatives controlled 0.1% (30 June 2010: 2.6%; 31 December 2010: 2.5%) of the voting shares of the Company. Related party transactions with De Beers As previously reported on, the Group has in prior financial periods entered into various transactions with DB Investments SA and De Beers SA (together De Beers) which were considered to be related party transactions for the purposes of the United Kingdom Listing Authority Listing Rules as a result of the interest in De Beers held by Central Holdings Limited and certain of its subsidiaries in which Mr N. F. Oppenheimer, a director of the Company at the time of these transactions, had a relevant interest for the purpose of the rules. The related party transactions entered into and which continue to be relevant in the current financial period are detailed below. The Group has advanced various loans to De Beers and at 30 June 2011 the amount of outstanding loans owed by De Beers (and included in the loans to associates amount disclosed above) was $315 million (30 June 2010: $367 million; 31 December 2010: $358 million). These loans are subordinated in favour of third party lenders and include: - dividend reinvestment loans of $133 million (30 June 2010: $142 million; 31 December 2010: $133 million) advanced during 2008 and 2009. These loans were interest free for two years from the date of advance and subsequently became interest bearing in line with market rates at the date of the initial reinvestment; and - a further shareholder loan of $182 million (30 June 2010: $225 million; 31 December 2010: $225 million) advanced in 2009. This loan was interest free for two years after which it reverted to a rate of interest equal to LIBOR plus 700 basis points until April 2016 and then, provided all interest payments are up to date, reduces to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. During the period, De Beers repaid $45 million of this loan, including accrued interest of $2 million. In December 2010 De Beers redeemed all of its outstanding 10% non-cumulative redeemable preference shares held by the Group. At 30 June 2010 the Group held $88 million of these preference shares. 17. Events occurring after the period end With the exception of the declaration of the 2011 interim dividend, there have been no material reportable events since 30 June 2011. Responsibility statement We confirm that to the best of our knowledge: (a) the Condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole; (b) the Half year financial report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 R (being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year, and their impact on the Half year financial report, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year); and (c) the Half year financial report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8 R (being disclosure of related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during that period and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first six months of the current financial year). By order of the Board Cynthia Carroll Rene Medori Chief executive Finance director INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO ANGLO AMERICAN PLC We have been engaged by the Company to review the Condensed financial statements in the Half year financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 which comprise the Consolidated income statement, the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Consolidated cash flow statement, the Consolidated statement of changes in equity and related notes 1 to 17. We have read the other information contained in the Half year financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the Condensed financial statements. This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed. Directors` responsibilities The Half year financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Half year financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom`s Financial Services Authority. As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The Condensed financial statements included in this Half year financial report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34), as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the Condensed financial statements in the Half year financial report based on our review. Scope of Review We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Condensed financial statements in the Half year financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom`s Financial Services Authority.
