Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2012
Overview
Successful project execution and asset optimisation delivered volume growth in iron ore, metallurgical coal,
export thermal coal, copper(1) and nickel(2)
— Growth projects delivered in 2011 continue to ramp up well, with Los Bronces expansion achieving 92% of
nameplate capacity during the quarter
Iron ore production increased by 12% to 12.9 million tonnes due to the ramp-up of the Kolomela mine and
production improvements at Amapá
— Should current production levels be sustained at Kolomela mine, it ought to produce at least 6 million tonnes
in 2012, and reach 9 Mtpa design capacity in 2013
Metallurgical Coal achieved a quarterly production record, with export metallurgical coal production increasing
by 23% to 4.8 million tonnes, benefiting from productivity improvements
Export thermal coal production from Colombia increased by 22% to 3.1 million tonnes, achieving a quarterly
production record. Export thermal coal production from South Africa increased by 7% to 4.2 million tonnes
due to the ramp-up of Zibulo
Copper production(1) increased by 7% to 161,100 tonnes. Strong ramp-up of the Los Bronces expansion was
offset by lower grades, lower recoveries and adverse weather
Nickel production(2) increased by 65% to 10,900 tonnes as production from Barro Alto continued to ramp up
Platinum equivalent refined production was flat at 583,600 ounces. Refined production was 623,000 ounces,
3% less, due to the slower than expected ramp-up of the converter plant following the planned maintenance
Diamond production decreased by 11% to 7.2 million carats largely in response to market conditions; while
focusing on planned maintenance and waste stripping
This Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2012 is unaudited.
Interim Results for the half year to 30 June 2012 will be announced on 27 July 2012, 07:00 BST.

Iron ore – Kumba production of 11.4 Mt was 11% higher, and 13% above the 10.1 Mt in Q1 2012. The increase
in production from Kolomela was offset by a 22% decrease in production from the Sishen mine jig plant due to
mining feedstock and ore quality constraints as well as maintenance on single-line conveyor systems. However,
production run rates at the Sishen dense media separation and jig plants recovered in the second
quarter of 2012 as the ramp-up in waste mining continued. Following the successful early commissioning in August 2011,
Kolomela mine continues to ramp up well, with 1.7 Mt produced during the quarter. Should the current ramp-up
performance be sustained, the mine ought to produce at least 6 Mt in 2012, and reach 9 Mtpa design capacity in
2013.
In Brazil, Amapá production of 1.5 Mt was 25% higher, primarily due to higher mass recovery in the beneficiation
plant as a result of increased stability of the plant. Output was 7% lower than Q1 2012, mainly
owing to constraints in power supply and maintenance at the beneficiation plant.
Manganese Ore – Record production and sales owing to consistently strong operating performance and improved
plant availability at both GEMCO in Australia and Hotazel in South Africa.
Manganese Alloys – The termination of energy-intensive silica-manganese production at the Metalloys plant in
South Africa and the temporary suspension of production at TEMCO in Australia during Q1 2012 resulted in
substantially lower manganese alloy production. TEMCO is expected to return to full capacity by the end of
Q3 2012.

(1)In 2011, the Group decided to retain Peace River Coal and, from July 2011, it has been managed within the
Metallurgical Coal business unit. Information presented includes Peace River Coal and comparatives have been
reclassified.
Metallurgical Coal – A quarterly production record of 4.8 Mt of export metallurgical coal was achieved following
productivity improvements at all open cut operations, including at Peace River Coal in Canada. Production
in Australia recovered from wet weather in Q1 2012, benefiting from the initiatives implemented in 2011 to mitigate
rain impacts.

Thermal Coal – Export thermal coal production in South Africa increased by 7% due to the ramp-up of Zibulo,
partly offset by the planned closure of high-cost sections at Goedehoop, Greenside and Kleinkopje. Cerrejón
delivered a record quarterly performance, with production up 22%, benefiting from a reduction in weather-
related stoppages.
South African export thermal coal sales for the quarter were below those for the first quarter due to the 10-day
Transnet Freight Rail maintenance shutdown during Q2 2012.

Copper t 161,100 150,300 7% 168,400 (4)% 329,500 289,100 14%
Copper – Total copper production increased by 7% to 161,100 tonnes. Production from Los Bronces was 72%
higher, with the Los Bronces expansion project contributing 46,500 tonnes. This was partly offset by lower
grades and adverse weather. The new processing plant is ramping up strongly, with mill throughput at 97% of
the ramp-up profile achieved during the quarter. The established operation will continue to be impacted by a
declining grade profile.
Attributable production from Collahuasi of 30,200 tonnes was 45% lower, due to expected lower ore grades
during 2012, and was exacerbated by lower recoveries, adverse weather conditions and a ball mill failure. Lower
grade, lower recoveries and repair of the ball mill will have a negative impact into the second half of the year.
Lower production versus Q1 2012 was largely owing to the production issues at Collahuasi and the temporary
closure of the Los Bronces operations in June following a safety incident.
A net positive provisional pricing adjustment of $20 million was recorded in the first half of 2012 compared to a
negative price adjustment of $36 million in 2011, resulting in a realised price of 370 c/lb versus 422 c/lb for the
prior period.

Nickel – Production increased by 65% to 10,900 tonnes following the ramp-up of Barro Alto, which produced
5,400 tonnes during the quarter. Production from Loma de Níquel and Codemin was in line with prior year.
Production decreased by 9% versus Q1 2012 principally as a result of a previously announced kiln shutdown at
Barro Alto. A shutdown in respect of the second line is planned for the second half of 2012.

Platinum – Both equivalent refined platinum production and production volumes from own mines were in line
with previous year. Lower production volumes at Tumela, Union North and Mogalakwena mines were partly
offset by higher production volumes at the other underground operations, which were less impacted by safety
stoppages than in the corresponding period in 2011. Production at Rustenburg mines (Bathopele, Khuseleka,
Khomanani, Siphumelele and Thembelani) increased by 16% compared to Q2 2011 due to improved productivity
and safety performances.
The impact of safety stoppages on underground mines reduced during the quarter following positive joint and
pro-active effort from management, the Department of Mineral Resources and the workforce. Although
Platinum experienced 22 safety stoppages at own mining operations during Q2 2012, compared with 12 in Q2
2011 and 17 in Q1 2012, the scope and the duration of the safety stoppages improved significantly. The safety
stoppages were more localised and were addressed over shorter periods than in 2011. As a result, 9,800 ounces
of platinum were lost due to safety stoppages in Q2 2012, compared with 22,000 ounces in Q2 2011.
Refined platinum production at 623,000 ounces was 3% less than Q2 2011, primarily due to the delayed restart
of the converter plant post its annual maintenance. However, those difficulties have been resolved and the
furnace matte converted in June 2012 exceeded the previous monthly record by 5%. We expect the backlog in
pipeline stocks to be processed by the end of the Q3 2012 as the converter plant has reached steady-state
operating level.
Palladium, Rhodium and Nickel – Refined production of palladium, rhodium and nickel decreased by 5%, 6%
and 2% respectively owing to a different source mix from operations and different pipeline processing times for
each metal.

(1) 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. In 2011, the Group decided to
retain Copebrás and Catalão.
Phosphates – Phosphates production increased by 4% in response to market demand. In comparison with Q1
2012, production increased by 10% due to improved plant reliability and availability.
Niobium – Niobium production increased by 33% due to better performance at the tailings plant and higher
grades. Boa Vista plant benefited from improvements in the concentration process.
EXPLORATION & EVALUATION
Exploration and evaluation operating expenditure for the first half of 2012 was $314 million, 43% higher than for
the same period in 2011, reflecting an increased focus on developing the Group’s high-quality brownfield
expansion options in Copper at Los Bronces and Collahuasi (Chile), as well as measured progression of greenfield
growth options at Michiquillay (Peru) and Pebble (Alaska). Metallurgical Coal expenditure was concentrated
primarily at the Moranbah South and Grosvenor 2 brownfield projects in Australia. Exploration costs reflect a
continued commitment to investigate and develop greenfield opportunities in Iron Ore, Metallurgical Coal,
Copper and Nickel, as well as brownfield drilling across all business units.
