Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2013
Overview
- Kumba Iron Ore production decreased marginally by 1% to 11.3 Mt as weaker
production at Sishen, following the recovery from the strike in H2 2012, was offset
by a strong performance at Kolomela
- Export metallurgical coal production decreased by 9% to 4.4 Mt due to strategic
production cuts executed in 2012 in anticipation of weakening market conditions, a
planned longwall move at Moranbah and the recovery following adverse weather
conditions
- Export thermal coal production from South Africa decreased by 5% to 4.0 Mt.
Cerrejón production decreased marginally to 3.0 Mt following the strong recovery
after the strike in Q1 2013
- Copper production(1) increased 14% to 182,900 tonnes, with 13% higher production
at Los Bronces and a 25% increase at Collahuasi
- Nickel production(2) decreased by 22% to 8,500 tonnes due to the permanent
cessation of production at Loma de Níquel, partially offset by higher production at
Barro Alto
- Platinum equivalent refined production increased by 2% to 594,000 ounces despite
intermittent illegal industrial action
- Diamond production increased by 10% to 7.9 million carats due to favourable ore
grades at Orapa and Jwaneng, offset by lower production from Venetia following
flooding in January 2013
- Phosphates production increased by 15% to 312,300 tonnes due to performance
improvement and increased plant availability
- Niobium production decreased by 8% to 1,100 tonnes reflecting expected declining
ore grade, partially offset by operational improvements

Iron Ore – Production from Kumba Iron Ore decreased marginally by 1% to 11.3 Mt, as weaker
production at Sishen was offset by a strong performance at Kolomela. Production at Sishen mine
suffered from low supply of higher grade material as the mine continued to recover from stock
drawdowns during the unprotected strike in Q4 2012. Production volumes at Kolomela, which
successfully ramped up in 2012, increased by 49% to 2.6 Mt, reflecting 3 months of full
production during the quarter.
Export sales volumes decreased by 4% to 10.2 Mt, due to lower stockpiles and production as
Sishen continues to recover from the unprotected strike in Q4 2012. Finished product stockpile
levels amounted to 3.3 Mt, a decrease of 11% compared to Q2 2012.
Manganese Ore – Production increased by 5% to 0.9 Mt, a quarterly record benefitting from
improved plant availability at GEMCO in Australia.
Manganese Alloy – Production increased by 141% to 73,000 tonnes due the temporary
cessation of production at TEMCO in Q2 2012.

Metallurgical Coal – Export metallurgical coal production decreased by 9% to 4.4 Mt due to
strategic production cuts executed in 2012 in anticipation of weakening market conditions, a
planned longwall move at Moranbah and recovery at Dawson following adverse weather
conditions in Q1 2013. This was partially offset by improved longwall cutting hours at Moranbah.
The strategic production focus and Moranbah’s improvement had a favourable impact on the
product mix, with hard coking coal (HCC) to pulverised coal injection (PCI) increasing by 8% in
H1 2013 compared to H1 2012.
Aquila, a bord and pillar operation producing around 0.5 Mtpa of hard coking coal, will be placed
under care and maintenance from 30 July 2013, as a result of weaker prices.
Export thermal coal production was in line at 1.5 Mt.

Thermal Coal – Export thermal coal production in South Africa decreased by 5% to 4.0 Mt
primarily due to mining through poorer than planned geology at Goedehoop.
Domestic thermal coal production for Eskom increased by 5% to 8.8 Mt, owing to improved
machine availability and higher longwall production at New Denmark.
Cerrejón recovered strongly following the strike in Q1 2013, with production only marginally lower
than Q2 2012’s record production.

Copper – Production increased by 14% to 182,900 tonnes in line with expectations, due to
higher production across all businesses except Mantoverde. Production guidance for 2013 is
maintained at 680,000 tonnes, against a backdrop of continued caution around the operating
performance recovery and stability, particularly at Collahuasi.
Production from Los Bronces increased by 13% to 101,700 tonnes with a strong performance at
the new Confluencia plant. Los Bronces’ mine development is progressing, with mine congestion
and continuity of ore feed to the two processing plants continuing to improve. The increased mill
throughput, however, was partially offset by lower ore grades.
Production from Collahuasi increased by 25% to 37,700 tonnes due to a return to higher ore
grades and recoveries despite a planned 49 day shutdown of SAG Mill 3 for a stator motor
replacement and repowering which was successfully completed in May 2013. Following re-
commissioning of the mill, Collahuasi’s mill throughput has improved in line with expectations.
Production at El Soldado increased by 9% to 13,900 tonnes as a result of higher grades. Mantos
Blancos production increased 14% to 15,200 tonnes due to increased cathode production from
dump leaching.
A negative provisional pricing adjustment of $189 million was recorded in H1 2013 compared to a
positive price adjustment of $20 million in H1 2012, resulting in a realised price of 318 c/lb for H1
2013 versus 370 c/lb for H1 2012.

Nickel – Production decreased by 22% to 8,500 tonnes, driven by the permanent cessation of
production at Loma de Níquel in Venezuela in November 2012. Loma de Níquel produced 3,000
tonnes in Q2 2012. This was partially offset by higher production at Barro Alto, which increased
by 13% to 6,100 tonnes. Production at Barro Alto continues to ramp-up, but was affected by a
number of stoppages during the quarter. It is expected that Barro Alto will produce approximately
20,000 – 25,000 tonnes in 2013.

(1) Nickel and copper refined through third parties is now shown as production of nickel matte and copper matte. Nickel and copper matte, per the table,
reflects matte sold to a third party in Q2 2013 from 2012 and 2013 production stockpile. Nickel matte production in 2012: 3.2 Kt; H1 2013: 2.2 Kt. Copper
matte production 2012: 2.4 Kt; H1 2013: 1.7 Kt
Platinum – Equivalent refined platinum production increased by 2% to 594 koz, with own
operations contributing 397 koz. Underground mining performance was impacted by illegal
industrial actions, a national bus driver strike which impacted employees’ ability to commute to
work and labour shortages. This was exacerbated by the lack of flexibility, in the current labour
environment, to redeploy employees to operations where there is a skills shortage. Equivalent
refined platinum production from joint ventures and associates, inclusive of both mined and
purchased production, increased by 2% to 182 koz. Equivalent refined platinum production in the
Q2 2012 included 11 koz from non-managed Marikana joint venture which was placed on care
and maintenance in June 2012. On a comparative basis, excluding non-managed Marikana joint
venture, operating mines improved production by 14 koz or 8%. Equivalent refined platinum
ounces purchased from third parties increased from 15 koz to 16 koz.
Refined platinum production decreased by 7% to 582 koz due to three separate production
incidents at the converting plant in April 2013 which resulted in lower output into the refinery. The
incidents were resolved and the converting plant operated at a steady state level by the end of
the quarter.
Palladium, Rhodium and Nickel – Refined production of palladium and rhodium decreased by
10% and 7% respectively. Palladium and rhodium variances are a result of a different source mix
from operations and different pipeline processing times for each metal. Nickel production
continued to be affected by technical challenges in the new nickel tank house, however,
production improved in the quarter as the company sold nickel matte to a third party. Anglo
American Platinum sold 5,400 tonnes of nickel matte and 4,100 tonnes of copper matte to a third
party during Q2 2013.

Diamonds – Production increased by 10% to 7.9 million carats, largely reflecting improved
grades at Orapa and Jwaneng, offset by lower recoveries at Venetia following flooding in January
2013. Production at Venetia decreased by 60%, with shortfalls mitigated through the processing
of ore stockpiles. Restoration of full operations is expected during H2 2013.
Production at Jwaneng in Botswana continues to recover from the impact of the slope failure
incident in June 2012, which is expected to be fully resolved during Q3 2013.

Phosphates – Production increased by 15% to 312,300 tonnes due to improved performance
following optimised maintenance scheduling, increased plant availability and enhanced
performance at the acidulation plant and granulation plants.
Niobium – Production decreased by 8% to 1,100 tonnes, with declining ore quality, as expected,
partially offset by improvements to throughput and recoveries.
EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION
Exploration and Evaluation expenditure for Q2 2013 totalled $132 million, a decrease of 24%.
Exploration expenditure in Q2 2013 was $45 million, an increase of $5m, driven by the inclusion
of De Beers partially offset by a reduction in central exploration expenses.
Evaluation expenditure for the quarter was $87 million, a decrease of 35%. Evaluation
expenditure is mainly focused on iron ore, metallurgical coal, copper and diamonds.
