Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive, said: "The first half of 2013 has been characterised across the mining
industry by continuing downward pressure on commodity prices, driven by uncertain short term prospects in
many of the world's major economies, combined with cost inflation which has resulted in significant margin
compression. Some improvement in Anglo American's production performance and depreciating producer
country currencies have worked to partially offset these pressures, resulting in a 15% decrease in underlying
operating profit to $3.3 billion. Underlying EBITDA was 7% lower at $4.7 billion, while underlying earnings
decreased by 28% to $1.3 billion.
As always, safety is my first priority. Whilst we continue to achieve significant safety improvements at Anglo
American, we must always focus on a safe and healthy workplace. Through our safety programmes we
continue to drive for zero harm, focusing primarily on operational risk management and learning from
incidents. I am saddened to report that in the first six months of the year, eight of our people lost their lives
and my sincerest condolences go out to their families, friends and colleagues. A further two people involved
in a fatal incident at Amapá's Santana port are still missing.
Turning to my review of Anglo American, my first few months have reinforced my initial impression about the
value potential of this company. An in depth review of all of our 95 operations and projects is well under way
and will be completed over the next three months, but it is already clear that we have a very strong platform
of assets and talent from which we can build. Preliminary feedback also indicates that we do not require
wholesale change to our portfolio, but we do need to become much more disciplined, more effective and
more efficient to drive a step change in delivery to extract greater value and returns for our shareholders.
The need for a step change in performance is ever clearer against the headwinds of the macro environment.
Over recent months, the defining traits of the world around us have continued to be led by volatility and
uncertainty around the short to medium term prospects of many of the major economies. In this context, we
also need a fundamental shift in the organisation to a more commercial, value-oriented philosophy to focus
on how we deliver value now whilst we retain exposure to a more positive longer term trajectory.
Consistent with these objectives, the review process is working towards a comprehensive action plan
focusing on a number of different areas which I expect will deliver $1.3 billion p.a. of cash flow uplift by 2016,
including:
- defining a new approach and rigour to the capital allocation process, resulting in more disciplined
growth with reduced upfront capital outlay. Projects will need to clear rigorous stage gates and only
once we have a high level of confidence that it is the best use of our resources will capital be
deployed - we are targeting an attributable ROCE in excess of 15% by 2016 and a $300 million p.a.
saving from early stage project studies, also by 2016;
- delivering an effective commercial overlay to leverage our production scale and diversification - we
are targeting a $500 million p.a. operating profit uplift by 2016, including a $100 million contribution
from supply chain improvements;
- creating a clear and efficient organisation structure motivated and incentivised by the right value
metrics in order to promote the right behaviour, enable accountability and remove unnecessary
overheads - we are targeting a $500 million p.a. cost saving by 2016;
- ensuring that at all times we live up to our commitments and responsibilities to our stakeholders.
We have also identified additional value through the implementation of our new business process model.
This is expected to deliver meaningful cost and production gains across our portfolio, with more consistent
standards and performance across the Group, while we see further value upside from the ongoing asset
review which we are in the process of quantifying. We are pushing hard across all these fronts and will
provide a further update on our progress and plans before the end of this year."
Review of the six months ended 30 June 2013
Financial results
Anglo American's underlying earnings for the first half of 2013 were $1.3 billion, 28% lower than for the same
period in 2012, with an underlying operating profit of $3.3 billion, down 15% from $3.8 billion. Continuing
weak global economic growth coupled with increases in seaborne commodity supply have led to a further
decline in commodity prices. The depressed price environment in combination with increasing unit costs
across most of the Group's operations resulted in decreased earnings.
Iron Ore and Manganese recorded an underlying operating profit of $1,653 million, 10% lower than the
corresponding period in 2012. This was driven by a 7% decrease in achieved iron ore prices at Kumba and
higher costs, primarily due to the ramp-up in waste volumes. This was partially offset by higher prices
achieved at Samancor and a lower underlying operating loss at Iron Ore Brazil.
Metallurgical Coal delivered an underlying operating profit of $98 million, a 38% decrease on the first half of
2012, primarily due to the impact of lower realised export prices. This was partially offset by strong cost
management resulting in an 18% decrease in unit cash costs at the Australian export operations and a self-
insurance recovery of $73 million.
Thermal Coal's underlying operating profit of $247 million was 43% lower than the corresponding period in
2012 due to decreased realised prices and lower sales volumes from Cerrejón following a strike in the first
quarter of 2013. This was partially offset by the devaluation of the rand against the dollar.
Copper delivered an underlying operating profit of $635 million, 38% lower than for the first half of 2012, due
to a 14% lower realised average copper price and increased mine development costs. Sales volumes
increased by 7% mainly driven by the ramp-up of the Los Bronces expansion project.
Nickel reported an underlying operating loss of $11 million. Underlying operating profit in the prior year,
however, included a self-insurance recovery of $57 million. Profit from the Barro Alto project continues to be
capitalised as the asset is not yet in commercial production.
Platinum generated an underlying operating profit of $187 million, 123% higher than the corresponding
period in 2012, primarily driven by a favourable exchange variance and higher sales volumes. A positive
stock adjustment of $38 million (30 June 2012: $172 million) relating to the annual physical stock count
contributed to the underlying operating profit.
Diamonds recorded an underlying operating profit of $571 million in the period compared with $249 million
in the first half of 2012. The increase in underlying operating profit was primarily due to the Group's
increased ownership. In addition, results have benefited from favourable exchange rate movements and
improved realised pricing, partly offset by acquisition depreciation of $80 million.
Niobium and Phosphates' underlying operating profit was $90 million, 25% higher than the first half of
2012. Phosphates underlying operating profit was 69% higher owing to lower cash costs driven by increased
cost discipline and lower sulphur prices, while Niobium generated an underlying operating profit 4% lower
following production decreases, reflecting declining ore quality.
Other Mining and Industrial Non-core's underlying operating loss was $30 million. Amapá's underlying
operating profit in 2013 is for the benefit of the purchaser and has been excluded from the Group results. In
the first half of 2012, Amapá generated an underlying operating profit of $110 million largely due to the
reversal of penalty provisions which was not repeated in 2013. The Group's share of Lafarge Tarmac's
underlying operating loss amounted to $16 million and was in line with that incurred by Tarmac Quarry
Materials in the first half of 2012. Scaw South Africa was disposed of in the second half of 2012.
Production
Production increases were delivered at the Metallurgical Coal, Copper, Diamonds and Phosphates
businesses and for manganese. Other businesses were impacted by a number of events, including strikes
and inclement weather.
Iron Ore and Manganese production of iron ore was flat at 21.6 Mt. The ramp-up of Kolomela was offset by
lower production at Sishen as the operation recovered from the unprotected strike in the second half of 2012.
Manganese ore production increased by 2% to 1.7 Mt, while manganese alloy production rose by 53% to
130,100 tonnes.
Metallurgical Coal production increased by 3% to 14.8 Mt, with export metallurgical coal production of
9.0 Mt benefiting from productivity improvements at both the open cut and underground operations, partially
offset by weather-related stoppages at Dawson. A focus on high-margin products has resulted in a
favourable product mix towards higher quality coking coal with the proportion of sales of hard coking coal
(HCC) to pulverised coal injection (PCI) increasing by 9%.
Thermal Coal production declined by 2% to 32.4 Mt due to the strike at Cerrejón, partially offset by
increased productivity at the South African operations.
Copper production increased by 7% to 353,300 tonnes, largely due to the ramp-up of the Los Bronces
expansion project and operational improvements at Collahuasi which were offset by planned maintenance at
Collahuasi's SAG mill 3.
Nickel production decreased by 36% to 14,700 tonnes reflecting the permanent cessation of production at
Loma de Níquel at the end of 2012 and continued efforts to address the design issues at the kilns and
furnaces at Barro Alto.
Platinum equivalent refined production of 1.2 million ounces was in line with 2012, with operational
improvements offset by production losses due to labour disruptions and the lack of flexibility to redeploy
employees in the current environment.
Diamonds production increased by 6% to 14.3 million carats, due to improved grades at Debswana offset by
flooding at Venetia which was mitigated through processing of the stockpiles.
Niobium production decreased 4% to 2.2 kt following an expected decline ore grade which more than offset
improvements in throughput and recoveries.
Phosphates production of 0.6 Mt of fertiliser, a 15% increase on 2012, was due to a number of asset
optimisation initiatives which improved overall performance at Catalão and Cubatão.

(2)Certain balances related to 2012 have been restated to reflect the adoption of new accounting pronouncements. See note 1 to the
Condensed financial statements.
Capital expenditure for the first half of 2013 was $2,397 million, 4% lower than for the first half of 2012.
Expenditure was broadly in line with the first half of 2012 due to the phasing of costs by most business units
in 2013 towards the latter half of the year and into 2014. This was partially offset by the inclusion of De Beers
in 2013. Capital expenditure guidance for 2013 is $6.9 billion including $0.4 billion of deferred stripping
capital expenditure. This is lower by $1.0 billion on a like for like basis from earlier guidance.
Capital structure
Net debt (including related hedges) of $9,756 million was $1,246 million higher than at 31 December 2012
and $6,734 million higher than at 30 June 2012. The increase in net debt compared to full year 2012 was
driven mostly by capital expenditure of $2,389 million, the payment of dividends of $1,291 million and the
payment of withholding tax and capital gains tax relating to the disposal of 49.9% Anglo American Sur to
Codelco and Mitsubishi ($395 million in total). This was partially offset by cash from operating activities of
$3,167 million.
Following the issue of $5.1 billion of bonds in 2012, the Group issued further bonds of $1.0 billion under the
Euro Medium Term Note programme during the period. In March 2013 the Group replaced a $3.5 billion
credit facility maturing in July 2015 with a $5.0 billion credit facility maturing in March 2018. At the same time
the De Beers $2.0 billion multi-currency credit facility was repaid and cancelled.
Anglo American's objective is to maintain a strong investment grade rating; which demands rigorous capital
discipline. However, we recognise that over the next two years we will have limited flexibility due to heavier
capital expenditure commitments as we complete the development of Minas-Rio and Grosvenor in Australia,
after which we expect capital expenditure to be moderated.
Dividends
An interim dividend of 32 US cents per share (30 June 2012: 32 US cents per share) has been declared, in
line with the Board's commitment to provide a base dividend, which will be maintained or increased through
the cycle.
Outlook
Economic news has been mixed in recent months, with increasing uncertainty and volatility around the short-
term outlook. In China, activity is slowing as the authorities seek to rebalance the economy away from
investment towards domestic consumption. Over the next few years, China's economic growth rate should
run well below the average rate of the last decade, which will be a drag on growth in other emerging
economies. There are more encouraging signs of an upturn in the major advanced economies. The US
housing market is improving but tighter fiscal policy is weighing on economic growth and there is increasing
uncertainty around possible changes in the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The Japanese economy is
also recovering in response to the Abe government's radical policy shift, but there are some doubts about
the sustainability of the upturn. In Europe, economies appear to be stabilising as downside risks diminish.
This has created a challenging macro environment and impacted short term prices for all of the Group's
products, with the possible exception of palladium where the supply demand fundamentals are particularly
strong. Intra-year volatility to the downside has been severe, exacerbated by muted seaborne supply
reactions particularly in thermal and metallurgical coals due to fixed mining and logistics costs.
In the medium term, the Company expects solid global economic growth broadly in line with its underlying
trend. In China and other emerging economies, there remains significant potential for further urbanisation
and industrialisation to support robust growth, and demand for key commodities including crude steel (iron
ore, and metallurgical coal), copper, nickel and thermal coal. The emergence of the expanding middle class
will support rising intensity of consumption for the late cycle products in our portfolio PGMs and diamonds
and also benefits the phosphates business.
Medium term supply growth poses challenges to the prices of some global commodities, most notably iron
ore and copper. However, in the long term prices for Anglo American's products are expected to be
supported by supply constraints in many jurisdictions and the challenges producers face in bringing new
supply into production. Economic uncertainty, as we are seeing currently, tends to restrain new supply, so for
all these reasons, in the longer term the Company expects to see tightening market fundamentals and a
recovery in price performance.

Condensed financial statements.
Group underlying operating profit for the first half of 2013 was $3,262 million, 15% lower than the first half of
2012. Lower realised prices of commodities resulted in a reduction of $1,235 million in underlying operating
profit. The lower prices included a 21% decrease in achieved Australian export metallurgical coal prices, a
7% decrease in achieved FOB iron ore prices, a 17% decrease in realised South African export thermal coal
price and a 14% decrease in realised copper prices. Despite a decrease in Metallurgical Coal unit costs, the
Group's costs were affected by general inflation, industry-wide costs pressures and higher waste-stripping
costs.
The decrease in underlying operating profit was partly offset by the appreciation of the US dollar
($690 million), and the inclusion of 100% of De Beers' operating profit (30 June 2012: 45%).
Corporate costs for the first half of 2013 were $85 million, $40 million lower than the first half of 2012. This
reduction was driven by a $46 million decrease in the self-insurance captive loss, mainly due to one-off
events in previous years at the Nickel and Copper operations being settled in 2012 and an increase in
insurance premium income in 2013, offset by the final settlement this year of flood claims in 2010 and 2011
relating to Metallurgical Coal's operations in Australia.
Exploration costs for the first half of 2013 were $93 million, 29% higher than the first half of 2012. This is
mainly as a result of the inclusion of De Beers where expenditure for the first half of 2013 was $25 million on
various exploration projects in Canada, Angola, Botswana, South Africa and India.
Group underlying earnings were $1,250 million, a 28% decrease on the first half of 2012. Group underlying
earnings per share were $0.98 compared with $1.41 in the first half of 2012. In addition to the decrease in
Group underlying operating profit, net finance costs and higher non-controlling interest in AA Sur also
impacted the Group's underlying earnings.

Operating special items, including associates and joint ventures, amount to a loss of $433 million, principally
in respect of impairment and related charges of $252 million (30 June 2012: $340 million). These principally
relate to an impairment of $143 million in relation to the Isibonelo operation in Thermal Coal, reflecting
management's revised expectation of the operation's future profitability under a long term coal supply
contract, and an impairment of $100 million at the Kleinkopje operation in Thermal Coal, driven primarily by a
decline in export thermal coal prices. the remaining reversal of De Beers inventory uplift, relating to inventory
which was fair valued on acquisition, of $126 million (30 June 2012: nil), and restructuring costs of $42
million (30 June 2012: nil). Operating remeasurements reflect net losses on non-hedge derivatives, mainly
related to capital expenditure in Iron Ore Brazil.
Non-operating special items principally relate to a loss of $55 million in respect of the formation of the
Lafarge Tarmac joint venture and the downward revaluation of $46 million relating to Amapá assets held for
sale. For more information on Amapá, refer to page 34.
Financing remeasurements, including associates and joint ventures, reflect a net loss of $35 million as a
result of fair value movements on interest rate swaps and other derivatives.
Special items and remeasurements tax, including associates and joint ventures, amounted to a tax credit of
$61 million which included a special items and remeasurements tax credit of $246 million partially offset by a
tax remeasurement charge of $185 million.
Net finance costs
Net finance costs, before remeasurements, excluding associates and joint ventures, were $201 million
(30 June 2012: $138 million). Interest income decreased due to a lower average cash balance over the
period and decreased dividends from financial asset investments. Interest costs were higher due to
increases in debt.

The effective rate of tax before special items and remeasurements including attributable share of associates
and joint ventures tax for the six months ended 30 June 2013 was 32.7%. This was higher than the
equivalent effective rate of 30.0% in the six months ended 30 June 2012 due to various prior year
adjustments. In future periods it is expected that the effective tax rate, including associates and joint
ventures tax, will remain above the United Kingdom statutory tax rate.
Balance sheet
Equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was $34,190 million at 30 June 2013
(31 December 2012: $37,611 million). This decrease reflects the weakening of the rand over the period
partially offset by the profit for the period of $403 million. Investments in associates and joint ventures were
$1,509 million higher than at 31 December 2012, principally as a result of the formation of the Lafarge
Tarmac joint venture. Property, plant and equipment decreased by $2,585 million compared to 31 December
2012, as a result of foreign exchange losses and depreciation partly offset by asset additions.
Cash flow
Net cash inflows from operating activities were $3,167 million (30 June 2012: $2,665 million), an increase of
19% despite the 7% decrease in underlying EBITDA. This primarily reflects lower tax payments in the current
period and lower expenditure on working capital. Outflows on working capital in the current period reflected
$587 million expenditure on inventories, primarily due to investment in stock at Platinum following low stock
levels at 31 December 2012, as well as stock increases at Amapá following the port closure.
Net cash used in investing activities of $2,436 million (30 June 2012: $2,300 million) was primarily
attributable to expenditure on property plant and equipment of $2,389 million (30 June 2012: $2,500 million).
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,682 million compared with $766 million in the six months ended
30 June 2012. This includes dividend payments to Company shareholders and non-controlling interests
totalling $1,291 million, as well as interest payments of $512 million.
Liquidity and funding
Net debt, including related hedges, was $9,756 million, an increase of $1,246 million from $8,510 million at
31 December 2012.
Net debt at 30 June 2013 comprised $17,831 million of debt and derivative liabilities, offset by $8,075 million
of cash and cash equivalents. At 30 June 2013 the gearing level was 19.6%, compared with 16.3% at
31 December 2012. At 30 June 2013, the Group had undrawn committed bank facilities of $8.6 billion and
cash and cash equivalents of $8.1 billion.
The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading
performance, indicate the Group's ability to operate within the level of its current facilities for the foreseeable
future.
Corporate activities and unallocated costs
Corporate costs which are considered to be value adding to the business units are allocated to each
business unit. Costs reported externally as Group corporate costs only comprise costs associated with
parental or direct shareholder related activities.
Dividends
An interim dividend of 32 US cents per share (30 June 2012: 32 US cents per share) has been declared.
The Board
As part of the continual process of refreshing the board, Dr Mphu Ramatlapeng joined the board as a non-
executive director on 8 July 2013. Dr Ramatlapeng is an expert in the field of healthcare in Africa, with a

Underlying operating profit decreased by 10% to $1,653 million (six months to 30 June 2012: $1,838 million).
This was principally due to 7% weaker average iron ore export prices, lower export sales volumes and cost
increases particularly at Kumba's Sishen mine, partially offset by higher ore prices at Samancor.
Markets(1)
Global crude steel production increased by 3% to 787 Mt for the first half of 2013 (30 June 2012: 766 Mt),
with China's record production of 385 Mt being 8% higher (six months to 30 June 2012: 356 Mt). However,
faced with strong pressure on steel margins, Chinese steel mills reduced iron ore inventory levels and as a
result, demand for seaborne iron ore grew at a slower pace than crude steel production. Global seaborne
iron ore supply increased by 4%, driven by strong growth of 18% from Australia, partly offset by a 1% decline
from Brazil.
Average prices in the first half of 2013 were marginally down and averaged at $137/t for the period
(30 June 2012: $142/t). Iron ore index (CFR China 62% Fe) prices peaked in February at $160/t but have
steadily declined since then, with the index ending the first half of 2013 at $115/t.

Kumba Iron Ore
At Sishen mine, the waste stripping ramp-up is continuing as planned in order to improve mining flexibility in
the longer term. Total tonnes mined at Sishen increased by 15% to 102.6 Mt (30 June 2012: 88.9 Mt), of
which waste mined was 82.1 Mt (six months to 30 June 2012: 68.8 Mt), an increase of 19%. Total iron ore
production at Sishen mine decreased by 10% to 16.1 Mt (six months to 30 June 2012: 17.9 Mt). Production
rates at the mine continued to improve quarter on quarter according to the plan following the unprotected
strike in the fourth quarter of 2012. Production was also impacted by the availability of material supplied to
the mine's dense media separation (DMS) and jig plants. This was expected, as the pit is currently
constrained, and is being addressed through the planned increase in waste stripping. This additional waste
mining is expected to have an upward cost impact at Sishen mine over the next few years but will eventually
result in increased flexibility in the pit.
Kolomela continued to perform strongly, as the mine produced 5.3 Mt, 62% higher than the corresponding
half year. Total tonnes mined rose by 55% to 29.7 Mt (six months to 30 June 2012: 19.1 Mt), of which waste
mined was 23.2 Mt (six months to 30 June 2012: 15.6 Mt), an increase of 49%. Kolomela remains well on
track to produce around 9 Mt in 2013.
Total sales for Kumba for the half year were 22.1 Mt, a 5% decrease compared to the record sales of
23.4 Mt in the first half of 2012. Export sales volumes declined by 3% to 20.1 Mt (30 June 2012: 20.7 Mt), as
a result of Sishen's lower production volumes offset by Kolomela production growth.
Iron Ore Brazil
Iron Ore Brazil generated an underlying operating loss of $12 million, largely reflecting the non-capitalised
costs for the construction of the Minas-Rio project.
Samancor
Underlying operating profit of $116 million was $96 million or six times higher than prior period. This was
driven by higher prices and sales volumes, together with a strong focus on cost control.
Production of manganese ore increased by 2% from 1.6 Mt to a record 1.7 Mt (attributable basis) owing to
improved concentrator performance at GEMCO in Australia and strong operational performance from
Hotazel in South Africa.
Production of alloy increased by 53% from 85,200 tonnes to 130,100 tonnes (attributable basis) due to the
reinstatement of production at TEMCO in Australia which was temporarily suspended during the first quarter
of 2012.
A gradual market recovery was seen over the period supported by normalised port stock levels in China and
supply-side responses to the muted demand outlook.
Projects
Iron Ore Brazil
Construction continues at the 26.5 Mtpa (with optimisation to 29.8 Mtpa) Minas-Rio iron ore project, with
significant progress made towards delivering first ore on ship by the end of 2014. During the first six months
of 2013, key development milestones identified in the January 2013 announcement were addressed. At the
mine site, the environmental licence for mine access was granted and pre-stripping activities are continuing.
At the beneficiation plant, the tailings dam environmental licence was granted and reservoir filling
commenced in May as planned. The residual land access constraints associated with the transmission line
to the beneficiation plant are being resolved and at the end of June, 90% of the power transmission line
towers were released for construction. More than 55% of the 529 km pipeline has been laid, with more than
99% of the land access released. At the port, construction is continuing as scheduled with good progress on
both the onshore and offshore installations including the breakwater.
While good progress is being made, high turnover, absenteeism and issues concerning workforce availability
in general are affecting construction activities. The impact is being mitigated through a number of initiatives,
including the use of additional contractors, refocusing existing resources to critical areas and extending
contractors' working hours.
Project capital expenditure remains in line with the estimate provided in January 2013 of $8.8 billion if a
centrally held risk contingency of $600 million is utilised in full.
Samancor
Following on from its approval in 2011, 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 expansion.
The 130,000 tpa high-carbon ferromanganese furnace M14 at the Metalloys plant in South Africa was
completed in March 2013 with a total cost of $99 million (Anglo American's 40% share: $40 million).
During 2013, Manganese withdrew from the Samancor Gabon Manganese project following the completion
of the feasibility study. The rehabilitation of the project site has been completed.
Outlook
Kumba Iron Ore
Steel fundamentals remain under pressure as the Chinese economy slows down, with manufacturing activity
receding as a result of declining export orders. Iron ore prices are expected to remain under pressure as
supply exceeds demand in the second half of the year, though restocking by steel mills may support prices in
the near term.
Kumba's main objectives remain to satisfy domestic demand and to fill the iron ore export channel to
optimise exports. The export capacity on the rail line is approximately 42 Mt and will remain so in the near
future. With two operating mines in the Northern Cape, following Kolomela's successful ramp-up in 2012, it
brings the benefit of flexibility. Kumba has conducted a technical and strategic review of these assets over
the past few months aimed at optimising production.
The production outlook for Sishen mine in 2013 remains at around 37 Mt, reflecting the knock-on effect of
the 2012 strike. Sishen mine's pit, however, remains constrained and therefore the planned waste ramp-up
is continuing as part of the strategy to improve mining flexibility for the longer term. Waste levels at the mine
are planned to increase to between 240 Mt and 270 Mt by 2016. The estimated production level for Sishen
mine is around 37 Mtpa going forward. The production outlook for Kolomela mine remains at approximately
9 Mt for 2013. Export sales volumes for the year as a whole are expected to be around 40 Mt.
Samancor
The gradual recovery in manganese pricing is expected to slow owing to more muted demand from the
underlying steel industry.

The underlying operating profit of $98 million was impacted by depreciation as a result of increased
production, offset by an insurance gain of $73 million relating to the 2011 flood events. Underlying EBITDA
of $383 million was in line with the prior year despite lower export prices, with the average realised
metallurgical coal price reducing by 21%. The price decline has been mitigated by lower unit costs, 7%
higher export production volumes and a favourable product mix towards higher quality coking coal with the
proportion of sales of hard coking coal (HCC) to pulverised coal injection (PCI) increasing by 9%.
Metallurgical Coal continued its cost-reduction programme, reducing FOB cash unit costs by 18% at the
Australian export operations.

Subdued demand continued into 2013 in the seaborne metallurgical coal market despite some price
improvement in the Q2 quarterly HCC benchmark price. Strong Australian production and sustained US
supply into Asia resulted in an oversupply of metallurgical coal. The average quarterly HCC benchmark price
fell by 24% from $223/t in H1 2012 to $169/t in H1 2013. Semi-soft and PCI prices, however, experienced
some relief with a narrowing of the price differential between premium quality and lower grade coking coals.

Export metallurgical coal production increased by 5% to 9.0 Mt, a record first half year performance, despite
adverse weather conditions in Australia. Moranbah, Foxleigh and Peace River Coal operations all achieved
record first-half production driven by increased productivity. The underground operations delivered a 32%
increase in production as a result of the Moranbah longwall consistently achieving industry benchmark
production rates. Adverse weather conditions in Queensland during the first quarter affected both
metallurgical and thermal open cut production, primarily at Callide (domestic thermal coal) and Dawson, with
a 43-day closure of the Moura rail line. Moranbah successfully completed a planned longwall move in record
time during the second quarter, with production back to planned capacity by the last week of June.
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.
Projects
The greenfield Grosvenor metallurgical coal project in Queensland continues to progress, with all permits
and licences in place. Construction is well under way at site, with bulk earthworks near completion. Longwall
production is forecast to commence in 2016. The capital costs has increased by $0.25 billion to $1.95 billion.
The capital cost increase is due to scope changes relating to the investigation into Moranbah North drift
failure and promoted a complete redesign of the Grosvenor drift and construction method. Foreign exchange
has been adversely impacted by weakening of the US dollar during the construction phase and deferment of
capital in light of current challenging pricing environment and our disciplined capital allocation process.
Outlook
Strong production from Australia and high US exports have generated an oversupply of metallurgical coal.
The market is expected to remain subdued for the remainder of 2013.
The seaborne metallurgical coal market continues to evolve, with some market segments, including
European, Chinese and South American steel mills, moving to shorter term pricing arrangements. However,
North Asian steel companies have continued to express a preference for ongoing quarterly price setting
negotiations. In line with customer demand, Anglo American will continue to focus on high-margin export
products supported by quarterly negotiated price settlements and shorter term pricing.

Despite industrial action affecting supplies from Colombia, seaborne thermal coal prices have continued a
steady decline during 2013 against a background of uninterrupted supply from other major producing basins
and robust US export volumes. In the first six months, global seaborne prices fell on average by 11%.
Delivered prices into Europe (API2) fell below $75/t in June, the lowest in three years. Although demand
from China waned at the beginning of 2013, current lower prices have increased interest from both China
and India for South African thermal coal.
In addition, countries exporting thermal coal, have seen significant depreciation in local currencies in the first
six months, with the South African rand and Australian dollar falling 12.5% and 10% respectively against the
US dollar. This currency depreciation has mitigated the fall in thermal coal prices, providing a buffer for
marginal mines.
Within South Africa, Transnet Freight and Rail (TFR) experienced a slower than expected recovery from its
annual maintenance shutdown in May, after maintaining a steady performance for the first four months of the
year. TFR is forecast to rail 69.2 Mt (annualised) to Richards Bay Coal Terminal at current performance
levels (2012: 68.5 Mt). South African thermal coal exports, at 33.05 Mt, were 3% higher for the first six
months of 2013 (30 June 2012: 32.05 Mt).

South Africa
Underlying operating profit from South African operations decreased by 30% to $171 million, largely as a
result of lower average export thermal coal prices. Annual FOB cash cost increases were contained at 6.6%
in a high mining cost inflation environment thereby mitigating further operating profit decline. The weaker
South African rand also partly offset weaker prices.
Production for the first half was 3% higher owing to the introduction of new machines at continuous-miner
sections as well as improved longwall production at New Denmark, partly offset by stoppages due to
fatalities in the first quarter at Goedehoop, Greenside and New Denmark.
Colombia
At Cerrejón, underlying operating profit of $96 million was 55% down on the prior period, driven by lower
thermal coal prices and the impact of the strike from 7 February to 12 March. The profit impact was
alleviated by operating cost savings resulting from the mine being shut down during the strike period.
Projects
In South Africa, the 12 Mtpa New Largo project has reached the feasibility stage gate and negotiations with
Eskom to finalise the coal supply agreement continue.
In Colombia, the 8 Mtpa Cerrejón P40 expansion project ramp-up to 40 Mtpa is progressing on schedule and
budget, with first coal delivered as expected in 2013.
Outlook
Pricing pressure resulting from industry oversupply looks set to continue in the short term. US coal is
generally cash-negative when sold into the export markets which may offer some respite in the medium to
long term. In addition, should current domestic US gas prices remain at elevated levels, we expect to see
continued switching of US coal back into the domestic market.
Demand from India is expected to remain robust at current pricing levels as new buyers seek to substitute
lower grade Indonesian coal with higher grade South African coal. Although demand will continue to be
strong from China, increased competition between domestic production and imported coal is likely to lead to
imported coal growth rates being weaker than previous years.

Management of operating costs continues to be a key focus. Despite higher expenditure on mine
development, improved operating efficiencies, higher production and lower power costs led to a 9%
reduction in unit production costs versus the second half of 2012.

The copper price rose at the beginning of the year before falling away from March on the back of global
macro-economic uncertainty impacting demand. Despite recent supply disruptions, strong mine supply
growth is expected to result in a market surplus for the year.
The London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price ended the half year at 306 c/lb, averaging 342c/lb, the
average was 7% lower compared with the same period in 2012. A negative provisional pricing adjustment of
$189 million was recorded compared to a positive price adjustment of $20 million in June 2012, resulting in a

Attributable copper production (tonnes) 353,300 329,500
Attributable copper production of 353,300 tonnes was 7% higher than for the same period in 2012.
Production at Los Bronces was 9% higher at 200,000 tonnes following the full ramp-up of the Los Bronces
expansion project, which contributed 114,200 tonnes. Mine development progressed during the period
leading to reduced congestion and improved continuity of ore feed to the two processing plants.
Production at El Soldado increased 13% owing to higher grades and Mantos Blancos increased 5% as a
result of increased cathode production from dump leaching. Mantoverde's production of 29,100 tonnes was
4% lower than the prior year due to lower ore grades.
Anglo American's share of Collahuasi's production of 67,100 tonnes was 5% higher than the first half of
2012. Although the expected return to higher grades was achieved, production was affected by lower
throughput, with the SAG 3 mill out of operation for 49 days for a planned stator motor replacement and
repowering project which was successfully completed during May. Following the re-commissioning of SAG 3,
Collahuasi mill throughput has improved in line with expectations.
Projects
At the Quellaveco project in Peru, the construction of initial water ponds has been completed and water
storage required to date has been achieved. Work is progressing on the Asana River diversion tunnel and
social programmes are also continuing. Work continues on the engineering and financial evaluation of the
business case in preparation for the project to be taken forward for Board consideration.
At Collahuasi, the pre-feasibility study on the further expansion potential beyond the three current milling
lines remains on hold pending restoring operational stability of current operations.
Outlook
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.
Ongoing market concerns arising from uncertainties over the near-term outlook for the global economy may
lead to short term volatility in the copper price. However, the medium to long term fundamentals for copper
remain strong, predominantly driven by robust demand from the emerging economies, ageing mines with
declining grades, and a lack of new supply.

Nickel reported an underlying operating loss of $11 million. The first half of 2012 underlying operating profit
of $58 million included a self-insurance recovery of $57 million, in addition to which 2013 underlying

Attributable nickel production (tonnes) 14,700 22,900
Nickel production decreased by 36% to 14,700 tonnes, primarily as a consequence of the cessation of
mining and production activities at Loma de Níquel with effect from 10 November 2012.
Barro Alto produced 10,200 tonnes during the first half of 2013. This was slightly below the figure for the first
six months of 2012 owing to a previously announced planned stoppage of line 2 for the rebuild of the electric
furnace sidewall and the subsequent heat-up being affected by a metal run-out.
Outlook
At Barro Alto the operation's ramp-up has been significantly impacted by design flaws in both the kilns and
the furnaces. Having addressed many of these issues, attempts have continued in order to achieve nominal
capacity, with some success including Line 1 achieving approximately 80% of average feed rate design
capacity in the first half (97% of design capacity in the period from mid-June until mid-July). However, to
eliminate uncertainties and the instability in the operation, certain faults will only be corrected by furnace
redesign and rebuild and, to this end, the decision has been taken to start on the planning process for such
work immediately. The outcome of this study will be communicated to the market in due course.
Barro Alto's production for the full year 2013 is expected to be between 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes.
Short term prices are expected to remain under pressure. If the Indonesian government carries out its plan to
ban nickel ore exports in 2014, however, this will have a positive impact on prices. In any event, medium to
longer term nickel prices are expected to improve owing to forecast demand growth outstripping that of
supply.

Anglo American Platinum (Platinum) recorded an underlying operating profit of $187 million, a 123%
increase. This performance reflected higher sales volumes and a weaker average rand against the dollar,
with Platinum's earnings being highly geared to the South African rand/US dollar exchange rate. It was
partially offset by the impact of higher mining inflation on costs and lower realised metal prices. Operating
profit of $187 million also reflected the recognition of an inventory revaluation following the annual physical
inventory count. In line with industry practice Platinum's metal inventory is estimated on a month-to-month
basis, with an annual physical stocktake being undertaken to validate theoretical inventory levels. Platinum
recorded a pre-tax gain of $38 million compared to theoretical inventory levels, in contrast to a gain of
$172 million in 2012.
Refined platinum sales for the first six months were 11% higher at 1.07 million ounces (30 June 2012:
967,000 ounces), which exceeded refined production as refined stocks were reduced. The average dollar
basket price achieved, however, declined by 5% from $2,532 per ounce in the first half of 2012, to
$2,416 per ounce.
Cash operating costs per equivalent refined platinum ounce increased by 12%, mainly owing to increases in
the costs of labour, electricity, diesel and explosives.
Markets
Supply concerns and US macro-economic weakness during the first quarter of 2013 supported platinum
prices above $1,600 per ounce. During the second quarter, however, the platinum price was impacted by
dramatic sell-offs in gold Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) investment holdings which saw the platinum price fall
in tandem to below $1,400 per ounce to a low of $1,317 per ounce at the end of June 2013, a level not seen
since the global economic crisis in 2009.
Global demand for platinum during the first half of 2013 was higher than expected owing to continued
stimulation of jewellery demand by current low price levels, increased platinum ETF investment holdings and
firmer industrial demand though demand from the autocatalyst sector was flat. Supply of refined platinum
from South Africa in the first half of 2013 continued to be impacted by intermittent illegal industrial actions.
Palladium demand remained firm, dominated by continued growth in demand for gasoline vehicles in
developing markets. Market expectations of a deficit market continue, providing a firm underpinning to price.
Rhodium demand remains weak owing to substitution implemented during a period of significant price
increases for the metal in 2007/08.
Autocatalysts
Gross autocatalyst demand remained largely flat. Heightened economic uncertainty in Europe reduced
demand for new vehicles in the first half of 2013 with sales approximately 7% below those in the first half of
2012. Lower sales in Europe are being somewhat offset by increased loadings as Euro 6 emissions levels
are implemented in 2013 and 2014.
Industrial
Gross platinum demand for industrial applications remained firm in the first half of 2013, with some evidence
that purchases in the glass and electrical sectors, delayed in 2012, had recommenced.
Jewellery
Despite platinum returning to trading at a premium to gold during the first half of 2013, jewellery demand
remained firm with China benefiting most from increased consumer and manufacturer interest at current low
price levels. Confidence in platinum jewellery by Chinese and Hong Kong retail brands remains high with
increased platinum stock levels in existing and newly opened stores.
Investment
Platinum investment demand in the first half of 2013 increased primarily as a result of the launch of a new
South African rand-based ETF. South African investors used this as an opportunity largely to move offshore
holdings onshore, though new entrants also contributed to the fund's rapid growth to exceed 400,000 ounces
at the end of June. Global investment sentiment, however, remains poor, driven by limited liquidity and
supply uncertainty. Downward pressure on price also materialised as poor sentiment around gold impacted
platinum holdings that track the gold price.

Attributable equivalent refined platinum production (koz) 1,177 1,177
Equivalent refined platinum production (equivalent ounces are mined ounces expressed as refined ounces)
from the mines managed by Anglo American Platinum and its joint venture partners for the first half of 2013
at 1.18 million ounces was in line with the first half of 2012 despite the impact of intermittent illegal industrial
actions.
Underground mining performance at Platinum's own mines was principally 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 are staff shortages. Tonnes milled from underground sources were
down 6% at 9.3 million tonnes while head grade improved by 3% to 3.25 grams 4E per tonne. As a result,
equivalent refined platinum production from own mines and the Western Limb Tailings Retreatment plant
decreased by 15,300 ounces or 2% year on year to 787,300 ounces in the first half of 2013. The own mines
lost 20,300 ounces as a result of the intermittent illegal industrial action during the first half of 2013.
In spite of these challenges, equivalent refined platinum production at the Rustenburg mines (Bathopele,
Khuseleka, Khomanani, Siphumelele and Thembelani) increased by 5,500 ounces, or 2% year on year to
293,600 ounces. Mogalakwena mine increased production by 4,200 ounces to 164,400 ounces as a result of
improved concentrator recoveries. New production from Twickenham mine added 1,500 ounces while the
Western Limb Tailings Retreatment plant increased output by 30% or 7,200 ounces following an improved
4E built-up head grade and improved concentrator recoveries.
The increased performances were offset by lower production at Amandelbult and Union mines which were
more affected by strikes. Amandelbult mines' (Tumela and Dishaba) output was 170,900 ounces, lower by
9,500 ounces or 5% lower than the corresponding period, while Union (North and South) mines recorded a
year on year decrease of 20,900 ounces or 18%, ending the first half on 96,400 ounces. Unki mine produced
3,300 ounces or 10% less compared to the first half of 2012 due to decreased concentrator recoveries
ending the period with 29,300 ounces.
Equivalent refined platinum production from associates and joint ventures, inclusive of both mined and
purchased production increased by 2% year on year to 356,000 ounces. Equivalent refined platinum
production in the first half of 2012 included 26,000 ounces from Marikana which was placed on care and
maintenance in June 2012; on a comparative basis, excluding Marikana, operating mines improved
production by 35,000 or 11% year on year. This was due to higher production volumes across all mines,
most notably at Kroondal (20%) and Bokoni (26%), following productivity improvement initiatives.
Equivalent refined platinum ounces purchased from third parties increased by 29% year on year from
26,600 to 34,200 ounces in the first half of 2013.
Refined platinum production at 1.02 million ounces was unchanged compared to the same period in 2012.
This largely reflected maintenance work at the processing plants, which is always scheduled for the first half
of the year. Refined production of palladium and rhodium decreased by 1% and 2% year on year
respectively. Palladium and rhodium variances were a result of the intermittent illegal industrial action, a
different ore source mix from operations and different pipeline processing times for each metal.
Refined platinum sales volume increased by 11% year on year to 1.07 million ounces from 967,000 ounces
in the first half of 2012. Platinum sales were marginally higher than refined production of 1.02 million ounces.
Nickel production at the base metals refinery was adversely affected by delays to the ramp up of the new
automated tank house. The main reason for constructing a new nickel tank house was to address the
occupational exposure to nickel aerosols. New technical features found in the tank house include closer
anode cathode spacing, anode bags and hoods to address aerosol capture at source and plating on titanium
blanks as opposed to starter sheets to allow for automatic harvesting in a further attempt to reduce
occupational exposure.
Since the commissioning, it has become evident that electrical short circuiting between anodes and cathodes
in the electro-winning cells is the major impediment to the tank house reaching design capacity. The
frequency of short circuiting is significantly greater than that experienced in the conventional nickel electro-
winning tank house and has been mainly ascribed to new features like anode bags, crystal growth
associated with cell hoods and a reduction in anode cathode distances. Significant work has gone into
resolving these technical challenges and progress has been made to achieve the design intent of the project.
The tank house is expected to be back to steady state operating level in the third quarter of 2013.
Platinum is committed to the highest standards of safety and continues to make a meaningful and
sustainable difference in the development of the communities around its operations.
Projects
Capital expenditure for the first half of 2013 amounted to $235 million, a 34% decrease on the comparable
period in 2012. Following a review to ensure effective capital allocation, a significant reduction in capital
expenditure is expected in the next three years.
The majority of project capital expenditure for the first half of 2013 was invested at the Unki mine
($29 million), Twickenham mine ($18 million) and the Bathopele Phase 5 project ($6 million).
Portfolio restructuring
Recommendations of the Platinum portfolio review were announced on 15 January 2013. Platinum and the
DMR engaged extensively following the announcement and as a result a revised plan was announced on 10
May 2013. Following the announcement of the revised proposals, Platinum, its recognised unions and the
DMR agreed to delay the resumption of the section 189 consultations to provide feedback to labour unions
on the bilateral engagements. The tripartite engagements and feedback sessions with the DMR and unions
have now been completed and the section 189 consultations resumed on 10 June 2013. Platinum expects to
conclude this 60-day process on 10 August 2013. The company's revised proposals remain focused on
ensuring the long term sustainability of the business and restoring profitability, while being cognisant of the
local and national social and economic challenges. The focus remains on cost reductions, revenue
enhancement from the implementation of the revised commercial strategy, operational efficiency
improvements and the prioritisation of capital allocation in line with the revised portfolio.
The revised portfolio restructuring proposals plan to reduce Platinum's baseline production to between
2.2 and 2.4 million ounces per annum in the short to medium term to more closely align output with expected
demand while retaining the flexibility to meet potential demand upside. This will be achieved through
consolidating Rustenburg into three operating mines by integrating and optimising Khuseleka 2 and
Khomanani 1 and 2 shafts into the surrounding mines. Khuseleka 1 will remain operational, which is a
principal revision to the previous proposal. Platinum's Rustenburg operations will be reconfigured as a
sustainable 320,000 to 350,000 ounces per annum platinum producer in the medium term. The proposals
will result in a reduction of production capacity of approximately 250,000 ounces per annum in 2013 and by
an additional approximately 100,000 ounces per annum in the medium term. While Platinum plans to keep
its production profile flat, it seeks to progressively replace production from high-cost and capital intensive
assets with production from low-cost and high-quality assets over the next decade.
The company has continued with the process of reducing overhead costs and improving efficiencies so as to
align its cost base with the proposed footprint. Platinum intends to right-size and simplify its overhead
structure to support the revised portfolio review proposals. Processing operations will be aligned to the
revised long term production plans. It remains committed to delivering R3.8 billion of annual savings by 2015
from the indirect and direct cost savings. The revised proposals continue to require extensive consultation
with government, organised labour and other stakeholders prior to implementation.
Outlook
The global platinum market continues to suffer supply disruptions, production curtailment and capital
rationing in the current economic environment, while net platinum demand is expected to remain relatively
flat in 2013. This is despite higher than expected demand in the first half of 2013. Vehicle sales in Europe
remain depressed with price sensitive jewellery and investment demand vulnerable to any platinum price
improvement from the current depressed levels.
Primary supply challenges are expected to continue during 2013 with higher mining inflation putting pressure
on margins and increased risk of supply disruptions from industrial action in South Africa. Supplies of metal
from the recycling of spent autocatalysts are expected to rise as pipeline stocks are processed.
The palladium market is expected to remain in deficit in 2013, supported by gasoline vehicle production
growth in developing markets. Primary supply is constrained by the same factors impacting platinum
production.
The Rhodium market is expected to remain depressed in 2013, although autocatalyst and new industrial
demand is expected to increase.
Platinum is increasing its refined production target for 2013 to 2.3 million platinum ounces owing to the
delayed implementation of the portfolio restructuring proposals. The company remains committed to
progress with the consultations and implementation of the portfolio restructuring proposals to reduce its
baseline production to between 2.2 and 2.4 million ounces per annum to more closely align output with
expected demand while retaining the flexibility to meet potential upside demand.
Cost inflation, however, will continue to present the company with challenges this year. During the first half
Eskom raised electricity tariffs a further effective 13% and during the second six months, the industry is
expected to see an increase in wages. Platinum now estimates that cash unit costs will increase to around
R17,000 per equivalent refined platinum ounce for 2013.
Platinum remains on track to incur capital expenditure of between R6 billion and R7 billion for the year.
Capital expenditure planned for the period 2013 to 2015 also remains unchanged at between R6 billion and
R7 billion per annum, excluding capitalised interest. The company will continue to optimise capital allocation
to focus on the highest return and lowest risk opportunities while remaining nimble in order to respond to
cash compression.

De Beers has continued to improve its safety performance year on year, with a further reduction in the lost
time injury frequency rate to 0.24 (30 June 2012: 0.45). The company is benefiting from an increasingly
integrated approach with Anglo American in the management of environment, community, occupational
health and safety matters.
De Beers' half year production increased by nearly one million carats to 14.3 Mct (30 June 2012: 13.4 Mct)
owing to improved ore grades at Orapa and Jwaneng Mines. Progress on the remediation programme
following the Jwaneng mine slope failure that occurred in June 2012 continues, with full resolution expected
in the third quarter of 2013.
In South Africa, Venetia mine was impacted by the heavy flooding in the Limpopo province in January, but
ore mining shortfalls were mitigated through the processing of ore stockpiles. Restoration of full operations is
expected during the second half of 2013.
In Canada, work continues on optimising the Snap Lake mine to enable economic access to the promising,
though challenging, ore body. A 16-day winter road blockade during February 2013 near Victor mine was
eventually removed when an interlocutory court injunction was granted. The mine continued to operate at full
production during the blockade.
In Namibia, production has increased at both Namdeb and Debmarine Namibia operations.
After a challenging start to 2013, Element Six experienced slightly stronger sales momentum in the second

Sales
Sales remained steady during the first half, with total sales of $3.3 billion (30 June 2012: $3.3 billion) and
rough diamond sales of $3.0 billion (30 June 2012: 3.0 billion). After a 12% decline in De Beers' rough
diamond prices during the second half of 2012, prices increased by 6% in the first six months of 2013. The
realised average price to June 2013 was 2% higher than for the same period of 2012, driven by an improved
product mix, more than offsetting the lower price index.
Brands
Forevermark continued to grow, particularly in the core markets of China, Japan, India and the US, and is
now available in more than 1,000 authorised jewellery stores around the world.
Despite an adverse exchange rate impact from the Japanese yen, De Beers Diamond Jewellers delivered
sales growth compared with the first six months of 2012, with strong growth in Europe and most Asian
markets. During the period, two new franchise stores were opened, in Kuala Lumpur and Baku.
Projects
In Botswana, infrastructure at the Jwaneng mine Cut-8 extension project is now complete. Within the current
life of mine plan, Cut 8 will provide access to an estimated 86 Mt of ore to be treated yielding 102 Mct of high
quality diamonds, and extend the life of mine of the world's richest diamond mine to at least 2028.
In South Africa, final outstanding regulatory clearances for the Venetia underground project were received in
February 2013. The project team has been established and early earthworks have already commenced. The
project will extend the life of Venetia Mine beyond 2040, and contains an estimated 96 Mct in approximately
130 Mt to be treated.
In Canada, permitting on the Gahcho Kué Project is in progress and a Socio Economic Agreement has been
entered into between De Beers and the Government of the Northwest Territories. The Gahcho Kué Project is
currently planned to treat approximately 31 Mt containing an estimated 47.6 Mct.
Outlook
With full recovery from the Jwaneng slope failure and Venetia mine flooding expected during the second half,
De Beers continues to anticipate full-year production will recover to be broadly in line with 2012 subject to
market conditions.
De Beers expects moderate growth in diamond jewellery demand in the remaining six months of 2013,
supported by improving sentiment in the US market and continued growth in China, albeit at a lower rate.
Conditions in India and Japan remain more uncertain due, in part, to the continuing volatility of their
currencies, which is expected to affect growth in US dollar terms. Overall, despite the fragility of the global
economic recovery, macro-economic conditions are generally supportive of global growth in the polished
diamond market in 2013 at levels slightly above 2012.

Markets
Niobium
In spite of continuing macro-economic uncertainty in Europe and China, all contracts have been honoured
for the period, with additional discounted spot sales in the regions. Lower demand from these countries has
transferred bargaining power to steel mills thus impacting price margins. Sales volume to the US remained
stable, while India, Korea and the Middle East have used opportunities in the spot market to absorb surplus
niobium.
Phosphates
Strong prices for grain encouraged farmers to bring forward fertiliser purchases during the first quarter of the
year. However, in the second quarter as grain prices fell so did the demand for fertiliser. In Brazil strong
demand for the summer crop is expected despite the expectation of lower consumption in India and US
markets.

Catalão generated an underlying operating profit of $43 million, 4% lower than the previous year. This
performance reflected lower sales prices.
Phosphates
Underlying operating profit increased to $49 million, 69% higher than for the equivalent period in 2012. This
was the result of lower cash costs, driven by reduced labour costs and sulphur price decreases, higher sales
prices and volumes, and the devaluation of the Brazilian real.
Projects
Niobium
The Boa Vista Fresh Rock project received Board approval in February 2013. The existing plant will be
adapted to process new rock in place of oxide ore, leading to production capacity of approximately
6,500 tonnes of niobium per year, from 4,400 tonnes in 2012. By the end of June, the project had 92% of its
detailed engineering completed, piling works had already reached 80% and some of the key pieces of
equipment had already arrived.
Outlook
Niobium
Prices are likely to remain under pressure for the rest of the year owing to the weak economic environment
in Europe and lower growth in China.
Phosphates
Brazilian fertiliser demand is expected to increase slightly in 2013, reflecting pent-up demand created by a
strong pricing environment, robust agricultural commodity prices and stable fertiliser use. According to ANDA
(Brazilian Fertiliser Association) fertiliser demand is expected to increase by 2% over the previous year, from
29.5 Mt in 2012 to 30 Mt in 2013.
Other Mining and Industrial Amapá and Tarmac
Amapá
Amapá operation generated an underlying operating profit of $27 million. This is a decrease of $83 million
compared to the first half of 2012. The lower profit was primarily due to the reversal of penalty provisions in
2012, as a result of contract renegotiations, which was not repeated in 2013. In addition, on 28 March 2013,
a major geological event at the Santana port, the cause of which remains under investigation, resulted in the
destruction of the port shiploader infrastructure and sampling tower. Extensive damage has been caused to
the port operation, and all export shipments have been suspended. Plans for the recovery of the port are
being assessed by a project team. The impact of lower sales has been partly offset by improved iron ore
prices earlier in the year, as well as there being no recorded depreciation owing to the operation being
treated as held for sale from the end of 2012. However, the underlying operating profit is for the benefit of
the purchaser and has been excluded from the Group results. Further details of the divestment of the
operation are shown under note 13 to the Condensed financial statements.
Production has decreased by 17%, mainly due to the lower sales and stockpile constraints. Increased
stockpile capacity at both the mine and the port is being investigated, and the railway line between the mine
and port is continuing to operate.
Tarmac
Tarmac reported an underlying operating loss of $22 million, compared to a loss of $25 million in the first half
of 2012. Tarmac's EBITDA was $26 million, $10 million lower than for the same period last year. The results
of 2012 included the contribution from Tarmac Quarry Materials which became part of the Lafarge Tarmac
joint venture with effect from 7 January 2013.
Building Products
Improved performance was driven by better sales volumes, while the company continued to manage its cost
base in order to maintain margins. The general market is starting to show signs of confidence returning in
certain sectors, although it remains a competitive pricing environment in which to secure new contracts.
Cost-reduction projects and improvements in operating efficiencies remain high on the company's
turnaround strategy agenda. Compared to the same period last year, there is some optimism that market
conditions are starting to improve as demand for certain products is relatively strong.
Middle East
The Middle East operations experienced a decline in profitability compared with the first half of 2012
because of continuing difficult market conditions and tightening margins. There was some upside from strong
trading at Abu Dhabi and Al Dhahira quarry, but trading in Dubai and Oman was impacted by sales volume
shortfalls arising from client delays on certain major contracts.
Ongoing weaker margins in Oman and pressure on Shawkah quarry sales volumes and prices are
anticipated, offset by a continued favourable trading position at Abu Dhabi and improved profitability in
Dubai.
Lafarge Tarmac joint venture
On 7 January 2013, following final clearance from the UK Competition Commission, Anglo American and
Lafarge announced the completion of the transaction to create an incorporated joint venture known as
Lafarge Tarmac. Due to poor UK market conditions, the Group's share in the underlying operating loss for
the newly formed joint venture was $16 million. The loss was caused by lower pricing in all lines other than
aggregates partly compensated by increased sales volumes across all product lines. The integration of the
businesses, delivery of cost savings and synergies have progressed well. The market outlook remains weak
for the remainder of the year, based on low levels of private and public sector construction and infrastructure
spend.

Notes to the Condensed financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
The Condensed financial statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2013 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 Conduct Authority (FCA) 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 FCA. 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 2012, which were
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted for use by the European
Union (EU). The Condensed financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in
section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2012 does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. This information was derived from
the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012, a copy of which has been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies. The auditor's report on these accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters
to which the auditor drew attention by way of an emphasis of matter and did not contain a statement under sections
498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group's financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2012, except for changes arising from the adoption of new accounting standards and
interpretations as detailed below.
The following accounting amendments, standards and interpretations became effective in the current reporting period:
- IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income Amendments to IAS 1
- IAS 19 (revised) Employee Benefits
- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
- IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
In addition, the Group has early adopted the following standards, which are endorsed by the EU but not effective
until 1 January 2014:
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
- IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements
- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
- IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures
- IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
The Group has not early adopted any other amendment, standard or interpretation that has been issued but is not yet
effective. It is expected that where applicable, these standards and amendments will be adopted on each respective
effective date.
A number of other amendments to accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board also
apply for the first time in 2013. These do not have a significant impact on the accounting policies, methods of
computation or presentation applied by the Group.
The nature and the impact of each new amendment, standard or interpretation are described below:
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income Amendments to IAS 1
The amendments to IAS 1 introduced a grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income. Items that may
be reclassified (or recycled) to the income statement at a future point in time are now presented separately from items
that will not be reclassified. The amendment affected presentation only and had no impact on the Group's financial
position or performance.
IAS 19 (revised) Employee Benefits (IAS 19R)
IAS 19R includes a number of amendments to the accounting for defined benefit plans. The principal impact for the
Group arises from the requirement to replace the interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and the expected
return on plan assets with a net interest cost/income based on the net defined benefit liability/asset, calculated using
the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation. This has increased the income statement charge as
the discount rate now applied to the assets is lower than the expected return on plan assets. There is no effect on
total comprehensive income as the increased charge in the income statement is offset by a credit in other
comprehensive income.
The Group has applied the standard retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions and the 2012
results have been restated accordingly. Further detail of the impact on the Group financial statements for the six
months ended 30 June 2012 and the year ended 31 December 2012 is set out in note 16.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value when such measurements are required or permitted
by other standards. The application of IFRS 13 has not materially affected the fair value measurements carried out by
the Group. IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures on fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure
requirements in other standards, including IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. IFRS 13 also results in an
amendment to IAS 34 requiring that some of these disclosures relating to financial instruments are made in the
Condensed financial statements. The Group provides these disclosures in note 10.
IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
IFRIC 20 specifies the accounting for costs associated with waste removal (stripping) during the production phase of
a surface mine. When the benefit from the stripping activity is realised in the current period, the stripping costs are
accounted for as the cost of inventory. When the benefit is the improved access to ore in future periods, the costs are
recognised as a non-current asset, if certain criteria are met. After initial recognition, the stripping activity asset is
depreciated on a systematic basis (unit of production method) over the expected useful life of the identified
component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity.
There are two key changes to the Group's previous accounting policy as a result of the adoption of IFRIC 20. Firstly,
the initial recognition of the stripping asset and subsequent depreciation is determined by reference to components of
the ore body rather than by reference to the entire operation. Secondly, the subsequent remeasurement of the asset
is recognised as depreciation on a unit of production basis, rather than as a charge to operating costs based on the
expected strip ratio.
The Group has applied IFRIC 20 retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions and the 2012
results have been restated accordingly. Upon adoption of IFRIC 20, the stripping assets on the balance sheet at
1 January 2012 were assessed and it was determined that elements of the assets did not relate to identifiable
components of the ore bodies. These elements of the assets have been derecognised and recorded against opening
retained earnings at 1 January 2012.
The adoption of IFRIC 20 has resulted in increased capitalisation of waste stripping costs and a reduction in cost of
sales in 2012. Further detail of the impact on the Group financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2012
and the year ended 31 December 2012 is set out in note 16.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements
IFRS 10 replaces the parts of the previously existing IAS 27 that dealt with consolidated financial statements. The
new standard changes the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to control those returns through its
power over the investee. The adoption of IFRS 10 has had no impact on the consolidation of investments held by
the Group.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures
IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities Non-monetary
Contributions by Venturers and changes the classifications for joint arrangements. Under IFRS 11, investments in
joint arrangements are classified as either joint ventures or joint operations based on the rights and obligations of the
parties to the arrangement. When a joint arrangement has been structured through a separate vehicle, consideration
is given to the legal form of the separate vehicle, the terms of the contractual arrangement and, when relevant, other
facts and circumstances. When the activities of an arrangement are primarily designed for the provision of output to
the parties and the parties are substantially the only source of cash flows contributing to the continuity of the
operations of the arrangement, this indicates the parties to the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations
for the liabilities. The Group has considered these facts and circumstances, among others, in assessing whether the
arrangement is a joint operation or a joint venture. The standard removes the option to account for joint ventures
using proportionate consolidation and instead joint arrangements that meet the definition of a joint venture under
IFRS 11 must be accounted for using the equity method.
The application of this standard has resulted in the newly formed joint venture, Lafarge Tarmac Holdings Limited, and
the existing joint venture in Brazil, LLX Minas-Rio Logística Comercial Exportadora SA, being accounted for under the
equity method. No other material joint arrangements within the Group were affected.
The Group has applied IFRS 11 retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions and the 2012 results
have been restated accordingly. There is no impact on the net assets or underlying earnings of the Group. Further
detail of the impact on the Group financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2012 and the year ended
31 December 2012 is set out in note 16.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
IFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements,
associates and structured entities. None of these disclosure requirements are applicable for condensed consolidated
financial statements, unless required as a result of significant events and transactions in the period. Accordingly these
disclosures will be provided in the Group financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2013.
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 for the six months ended 30 June 2013 on pages 10 to 14. The Group's net debt (including
related hedges) at 30 June 2013 was $9.8 billion (30 June 2012: $3.0 billion; 31 December 2012: $8.5 billion)
representing a gearing level of 19.6% (30 June 2012: 6.3%; 31 December 2012: 16.3%). Further analysis of net debt
is set out in note 11 and details of borrowings and facilities are set out in note 10.
The directors have considered the Group's cash flow forecasts for the period to the end of 31 December 2014. The
Board is satisfied that the Group's forecasts and projections, taking into account 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 its 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 certain non-GAAP data to directly comparable IFRS financial measures are presented in
notes 2, 3 and 8 to the Condensed financial statements.
Changes in estimates
Due to the nature of Platinum in-process inventories being contained in weirs, pipes and other vessels, physical
counts only take place annually, except in the Precious Metal Refinery where counts take place once every three
years (the latest being in 2010). Consequently, the Platinum business runs a theoretical metal inventory system
based on inputs, the results of previous physical counts and outputs. Once the results of the physical count are
finalised, the variance between the theoretical count and actual count is investigated and recorded as a change
in estimate.
During the six month period to 30 June 2013, the change in estimate following the annual physical count has had the
effect of increasing the value of inventory by $38 million (six months ended 30 June 2012 and year ended
31 December 2012: $172 million). This resulted in the recognition of an after tax gain in the period of $28 million
(six months ended 30 June 2012 and year ended 31 December 2012: $124 million).
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).
Niobium and Phosphates (previously Catalão and Copebrás) are reported in the Other Mining and Industrial segment.
Tarmac and Amapá are not considered to be individually significant to the Group and are also presented within the
Other Mining and Industrial segment, along with Scaw South Africa until it was disposed of in November 2012.
On 16 August 2012, the Group acquired a controlling interest in De Beers (Diamonds segment). Until this date
De Beers was accounted for as an associate of the Group. From 16 August 2012, De Beers ceased to be an
associate and has been accounted for as a subsidiary. For details of this acquisition see note 12.
The Group's Executive Committee evaluates the financial performance of the Group and its segments principally with
reference to underlying operating profit. Underlying operating profit is presented before special items and
remeasurements and includes the Group's attributable share of associates' and joint ventures' operating profit before
special items and remeasurements.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (underlying EBITDA) is operating profit before special
items and remeasurements, depreciation and amortisation in subsidiaries and joint operations and includes
attributable share of underlying EBITDA of associates and joint ventures.
Segment revenue includes the Group's attributable share of associates' and joint ventures' revenue. 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 Other Mining and Industrial: niobium,
phosphates, heavy building materials, iron ore and, until November 2012, steel products. The Exploration segment
includes the cost of the Group's exploration activities across all segments. The segment results are stated after
elimination of inter-segment transactions and include an allocation of corporate costs.

3. Operating profit and underlying earnings by segment
The following table analyses operating profit (including attributable share of associates' and joint ventures' operating
profit) by segment and reconciles it to underlying earnings by segment.
Operating profit/(loss) before special items and remeasurements includes attributable share of associates' and joint
ventures' operating profit before special items and remeasurements which is reconciled to 'Share of net income from
associates and joint ventures' in note 2.
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 net finance
costs, income tax expense and non-controlling interests. For a reconciliation from 'Profit/(loss) for the financial period
attributable to equity shareholders of the Company' to 'Underlying earnings for the financial period', see note 8.

4. 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 Presentation of Financial Statements paragraph 97. Special items that relate to the operating
performance of the Group are classified as operating special items and principally include impairment charges. Non-
operating special items include profits and losses on disposal 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. Remeasurements include:
- 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, for
example 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 impacts arising in US$ 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.
- The remeasurement and subsequent depreciation of a previously held equity interest as a result of a business
combination.

(1) The non-operating remeasurement related to the net gain on acquisition of De Beers has been restated to reflect the adoption of new accounting pronouncements. See note 1 for details.
(2) Relates to the Thermal Coal and Other Mining and Industrial segments (2012: Iron Ore and Manganese, Platinum and, until 16 August, Diamonds).
Operating special items
Other impairments and related charges were $252 million in the six months ended 30 June 2013 (six months ended
30 June 2012: $340 million; year ended 31 December 2012: $230 million). These principally relate to an impairment
of $143 million in relation to the Isibonelo operation in Thermal Coal, reflecting management's revised expectation of
the operation's future profitability under a long term coal supply contract, and an impairment of $100 million at the
Kleinkopje operation in Thermal Coal, driven primarily by a decline in export thermal coal prices. In 2012 significant
impairments included the impairment of the Minas-Rio iron ore project (Iron Ore Brazil), impairments of certain
Platinum projects and other Platinum assets not in use and a charge arising at Loma de Níquel due to the
cancellation of its mining concessions in November 2012.
Inventory held by De Beers at the date of acquisition was required to be recognised at fair value under IFRS
(16 August 2012). This resulted in negligible margins being realised upon the subsequent sale of inventory held at the
acquisition date. The reversal of fair value uplifts on the remaining inventory sold in 2013 of $126 million (year ended
31 December 2012: $421 million) has been excluded from the Group's underlying earnings so as not to distort the
operating margins of De Beers and to provide more useful information about the performance of the Group.
Operating remeasurements
Operating remeasurements reflect a net loss of $402 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: $80 million; year ended
31 December 2012: $112 million) principally in respect of non-hedge derivatives related to capital expenditure in Iron
Ore Brazil. Derivatives which have been realised during the period had a cumulative net operating remeasurement
loss since their inception of $11 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: gain of $13 million; year ended
31 December 2012: loss of $71 million).
In addition, operating remeasurements includes a $65 million depreciation charge (year ended 31 December 2012:
$41 million) arising due to the fair value uplift on the pre-existing 45% shareholding of De Beers, which was required
on acquisition of a controlling stake.
Non-operating special items
A loss of $55 million has been recognised on the formation of the Lafarge Tarmac joint venture (Other Mining and
Industrial segment) (year ended 31 December 2012: $135 million).
The loss in the current year primarily relates to the
transfer to the income statement of $62 million cumulative exchange losses previously recognised in equity, partially
offset by a net gain of $7 million arising on the formation of the joint venture and the associated sale of certain of
Tarmac Quarry Materials' operations. For further details see note 12.
In December 2012, the Group agreed the sale of its 70% interest in the Amapá iron ore system. The net assets were
classified as held for sale and recognised at fair value, based on the contractual sale consideration, less costs to sell.
This resulted in a loss of $404 million in the year ended 31 December 2012. At 30 June 2013, there remains one
condition precedent outstanding, satisfaction of which is expected in the second half of the year. Management has
reassessed the expected completion date and the fair value of the contractual sale consideration, resulting in a
revised fair value less costs to sell of $185 million. A loss of $46 million has therefore been recorded in the period.
See note 13 for further information on the transaction.
The Kumba Envision Trust charge of $26 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: $39 million; year ended
31 December 2012: $77 million) relates to Kumba's broad based employee share scheme provided solely for the
benefit of non-managerial Historically Disadvantaged South African employees who do not participate in other Kumba
share schemes.
In 2010 the Group disposed of undeveloped coal assets in Australia (Metallurgical Coal segment). A gain on deferred
proceeds of $44 million has been recognised in 2013 in respect of these disposals.
Financing remeasurements
Financing remeasurements reflect a net loss of $35 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: net gain of $16 million;
year ended 31 December 2012: net loss of $88 million) and relate to an embedded interest rate derivative, non-hedge
derivatives relating to debt and other financing remeasurements.
Special items and remeasurements tax
Special items and remeasurements tax amounted to a credit of $61 million (six months ended 30 June 2012:
charge of $51 million; year ended 31 December 2012: credit of $1,110 million). This relates to a tax credit on
special items and remeasurements of $246 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: $83 million; year ended
31 December 2012: $377 million) and a tax remeasurement charge of $185 million (six months ended 30 June 2012:
$152 million; year ended 31 December 2012: $189 million). There were no tax special items in the six months ended
30 June 2013 (six months ended 30 June 2012: credit of $18 million; year ended 31 December 2012: credit of
$922 million).
The total tax credit relating to subsidiaries and joint operations of $75 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: charge
of $54 million; year ended 31 December 2012: credit of $1,113 million) comprises a current tax credit of $11 million
(six months ended 30 June 2012: credit of $10 million; year ended 31 December 2012: charge of $8 million)
and a deferred tax credit of $64 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: charge of $64 million; year ended
31 December 2012: credit of $1,121 million).

IAS 1 requires income from associates and joint ventures to be presented net of tax on the face of the income
statement. Associates' and joint ventures' tax is therefore not included within the Group's income tax expense.
Associates' and joint ventures' tax included within 'Share of net income from associates and joint ventures' for the
six months ended 30 June 2013 is $93 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: $115 million; year ended
31 December 2012: $200 million). Excluding special items and remeasurements this becomes $79 million (six months
ended 30 June 2012: $118 million; year ended 31 December 2012: $197 million).
The effective tax rate before special items and remeasurements, which includes the attributable share of associates'
and joint ventures' tax, for the six months ended 30 June 2013 was 32.7%. This is higher than the equivalent rates of
30.0% in the six months ended 30 June 2012, and 29.0% for the year ended 31 December 2012 due to the impact of
various prior year adjustments in the first six months of 2013 and certain non-recurring factors in 2012 such as the
recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses and the remeasurement of certain withholding tax provisions across
the Group. In future periods it is expected that the effective tax rate will remain above the United Kingdom statutory
tax rate.

(1) Certain balances related to 2012 have been restated to reflect the adoption of new accounting pronouncements. See note 1 for details.
(2) All outstanding convertible bonds were converted or redeemed during 2012.
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. Potential ordinary shares shall be treated as
dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss
per share from continuing operations.
For the six months ended 30 June 2013, 462,425 (six months ended 30 June 2012: 6,442,855) shares have been
excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations as they are anti-dilutive. For the year ended 31 December
2012, basic loss per share was equal to diluted loss per share as all 16,325,905 potential ordinary shares were anti-
dilutive and 10,339,454 shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted headline earnings per share and diluted
underlying earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted number of ordinary shares outstanding represents 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.
Underlying earnings is presented after non-controlling interests and excludes special items and remeasurements, see
note 3. 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:

winding up.
10. Financial instruments
a) Financial assets and liabilities by category
Financial assets and liabilities are categorised as shown below. Where the carrying amount of a financial asset or
liability does not approximate its fair value, this is also disclosed.
For financial assets and liabilities which are traded on an active market, such as listed investments and listed debt
instruments, fair value is determined by reference to market value. For non-traded financial assets and liabilities, fair
value is calculated using discounted cash flows, considered to be reasonable and consistent with those that would be
used by a market participant and based on observable market data where available, unless carrying value is
considered to approximate fair value.

(1) Valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. This category includes listed equity shares.
(2) Valued using techniques where all of the inputs that have a significant effect on the valuation are directly or indirectly based on observable market data. These inputs include published interest
rate yield curves and foreign exchange rates.
(3) Instruments in this category have been valued using a valuation technique where at least one input, which could have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation, is not based on
observable market data. Where inputs can be observed from market data without undue cost and effort, the observed input is used. Otherwise, management determines a reasonable estimate
for the input. Financial instruments included within level 3 primarily consist of embedded derivatives, financial asset investments, certain cross currency swaps of Brazilian real denominated
borrowings, whose valuation depends upon unobservable inputs, and commodity sales contracts which do not meet the conditions for the 'own use' exemption under IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

to better reflect internal management reporting following the adoption of IFRIC 20. Depreciation and amortisation now includes depreciation of deferred stripping costs capitalised under
IFRIC 20 of $74 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: $27 million; year ended 31 December 2012: $90 million). Amounts capitalised in the period in relation to deferred stripping of
$222 million (six months ended 30 June 2012: $179 million; year ended 31 December 2012: $356 million) are now included within 'Expenditure on property, plant and equipment' in the
Consolidated cash flow statement. Previously the stripping costs deferred, net of amounts released, were included within cash flows from operations and disclosed as a separate line item
above. More detail on the application of IFRIC 20 is included in note 16.

12. Business combinations and formation of joint ventures
Lafarge Tarmac transaction
On 18 February 2011 the Group announced an agreement with Lafarge SA (Lafarge) to combine their cement,
aggregates, ready-mix concrete, asphalt and asphalt surfacing, maintenance services and waste services businesses
in the United Kingdom, forming a 50:50 joint venture.
In May 2012 the Competition Commission approved the formation of the joint venture subject to a number of
conditions being met. In July 2012, the Group accepted the conditions of the Competition Commission and
consequently the associated Tarmac Quarry Materials assets were classified as held for sale and measured at fair
value less costs to sell.
On 7 January 2013 the Group announced the completion of the 50:50 joint venture. At the same time, and pursuant
to the Competition Commission's conditions precedent to the formation of the joint venture, the Group completed
the sale of certain of Tarmac Quarry Materials' operations for consideration of $196 million to Mittal Investments. The
agreed sale of Tarmac Quarry Materials' 50% ownership interest in Midland Quarry Products was subject to a right of
pre-emption in favour of Hanson Quarry Products Europe Limited (Hanson), who exercised their right in April 2013.
The main accounting effects of the transaction are set out below:
- At 31 December 2012 the assets and liabilities of Tarmac Quarry Materials were presented separately in the
Consolidated balance sheet, within 'Assets held for sale' and 'Liabilities directly associated with assets held
for sale'.
- During the first half of 2013 the Group disposed of its interests in Tarmac Quarry Materials in exchange for a 50%
interest in the newly formed joint venture, plus cash, deferred consideration and contingent consideration receivable
for the operations that were sold to Mittal Investments and Hanson.
This resulted in derecognition of all assets and liabilities relating to the Tarmac Quarry Materials operations and
recognition of an investment in the Lafarge Tarmac joint venture (included in 'Investments in associates and joint
ventures' on the Consolidated balance sheet). The Group's retained interest in the assets and liabilities of Tarmac
Quarry Materials was included at the pre-transaction carrying amount. The Group's share of the Lafarge business,
acquired through its new interest in the Lafarge Tarmac joint venture, was accounted for at fair value. The difference
between the fair value of the acquired share of the Lafarge business and the provisional fair value of the acquired
share of its identifiable net assets was recognised as goodwill.
The provisional fair values of the Lafarge identifiable net assets acquired and of the Lafarge Tarmac joint venture as a
whole, were determined primarily by reference to the present value of future income streams expected to be
generated by the assets, and to market prices achieved for comparable assets. Where appropriate, certain assets
were valued using a depreciated replacement cost approach.
The net assets derecognised, the proceeds and the resulting loss on disposal were as follows:
US$ million 2013
Intangible assets 417
Property, plant and equipment 1,642
Other non-current assets 11
Current assets excluding cash 400
Total assets classified as held for sale 2,470
Current liabilities (400)
Non-current liabilities (262)
Total liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale (662)
Net assets derecognised 1,808
Exchanged for:
50% interest in Lafarge Tarmac joint venture 1,658
Cash (net of cash derecognised (1)) 70
Deferred and contingent consideration 87
1,815
Net gain arising 7
Less: Cumulative translation loss recycled from reserves (62)
Net loss on disposal (55)
(1) Cash derecognised in the transaction was $39 million.
The Group's share of the net assets of the joint venture (included in 'Investments in associates and joint ventures' on
the Consolidated balance sheet), based on provisional fair values at the date of acquisition, was as follows:
2013
Retained share in
Tarmac Quarry Acquired share of Joint venture net
Materials Lafarge business assets
US$ million Book values Fair values Total
Property, plant and equipment 721 783 1,504
Other non-current assets 6 8 14
Current assets 247 266 513
Net assets classified as held for sale 28 28
Current liabilities (266) (236) (502)
Non-current liabilities (120) (114) (234)
Net identifiable assets 616 707 1,323
Goodwill 202 133 335
Investment in joint venture 818 840 1,658
Goodwill of $335 million within the investment comprised $202 million of pre-existing goodwill relating to the retained
interest in the Tarmac Quarry Materials business, and $133 million of goodwill relating to the formation of the new
joint venture. The latter portion relates in part to synergies expected to be realised through the combination of the two
businesses, and also includes $66 million associated with the requirement to recognise a deferred tax liability based
on the difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and their tax bases.
Other than the Lafarge Tarmac transaction there were no acquisitions or disposals in the six months ended
30 June 2013.
2012
De Beers
On 16 August 2012 Anglo American plc acquired an additional 40% of the share capital of De Beers Société
Anonyme (De Beers) to bring its total shareholding to 85%. De Beers is a leading diamond company with expertise in
the exploration, mining and marketing of diamonds.
The Group funded the acquisition by way of cash consideration of $5.2 billion, less cash acquired of $0.4 billion. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting with an
effective date of 16 August 2012, being the date the Group gained control of De Beers.
Fair values recognised on acquisition were provisional at 31 December 2012 and are final at 30 June 2013.
Goodwill recognised arises principally from the significant synergies associated with the Group having control of
De Beers, the value associated with the De Beers workforce and the requirement to recognise a deferred tax liability
calculated as the difference between the tax effect of the fair value of the assets acquired and their tax bases. No
goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets acquired relate to brand names, customer
relationships and contracts.
Kumba Iron Ore
On 20 July 2012 Anglo American plc increased its shareholding in Kumba Iron Ore Limited by 4.5% through the
exercise of options acquired in 2011 and 2012. This increased the Group's shareholding from 65.2% to 69.7%, for a
total cost of $948 million.
Other
Disposals during 2012 relate to the disposal of Scaw South Africa and related companies in the Other Mining and
Industrial segment.
13. 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. Anglo American has also provided Mitsubishi Corporation LLC with
indemnities against certain liabilities as part of the sale of a 24.5% interest in Anglo American Sur SA. Having taken
appropriate legal advice, the Group believes that a material liability arising from the indemnities provided is unlikely.
The Group is required to provide guarantees in several jurisdictions in respect of environmental restoration and
decommissioning obligations. The Group has provided for the estimated cost of these activities.
No contingent liabilities were secured on the assets of the Group at 30 June 2013 or 31 December 2012.
Other
Platinum review
In January 2013, Anglo American Platinum Limited (Anglo American Platinum) announced its proposals to create
a sustainable, competitive and profitable platinum business for the long term benefit of all its stakeholders.
Following the announcement of its proposals, Anglo American Platinum and its recognised unions agreed to suspend
the section 189 consultations to allow for engagement to take place with the Department of Mineral Resources and
the unions. In May 2013, Anglo American Platinum announced revised proposals, which include:
- Placement of Khuseleka 2 shaft, Siphumelele 2 shaft and Khomanani Mine (shafts 1 and 2) on long term care and
maintenance;
- Consolidation of the Rustenburg operations into three operating mines; and
- Closure of the Union Mine North declines.
The section 189 process commenced on 10 June 2013, facilitated by South Africa's Commission for Conciliation,
Mediation and Arbitration.
Based on the revised proposals, to the extent that the Group is not expected to receive future economic benefits from
these operations, a post-tax impairment of circa $0.3 billion could be recognised as an operating special item in the
income statement once the proposals have been implemented. The gross cash costs associated with the
implementation of the portfolio review and overhead review, expected to be approximately $0.2 billion, would also be
expensed as incurred as an operating special item.
Platinum tax
At 30 June 2013 Anglo American Platinum has certain unresolved tax matters that are currently under dispute with
the South African Revenue Service (SARS). Platinum management has consulted with external tax and legal
advisers, who support the positions taken. Nonetheless, Platinum management are actively discussing the issue with
SARS with a view to seeking resolution and believe that the accounting for these matters is appropriate in the results
for the six months ended 30 June 2013.
Amapá
On 28 December 2012 Anglo American and Cliffs Natural Resources agreed to sell their respective 70% and 30%
interests in the Amapá iron ore system, including the mine, the rail infrastructure and the port of Santana, to
Zamin Ferrous Limited (Zamin). The sale is subject to certain conditions precedent, which had not been met at
30 June 2013. Amapá is therefore classified as held for sale and is valued on the balance sheet at the fair value of the
contractual sale consideration less costs to sell, being $185 million.
On 28 March 2013 an incident occurred which resulted in the tragic loss of four lives, with a further two people still
missing, as well as the total loss of the port operation. Since the incident, management has taken swift action to
enable normal operations to be resumed and is investigating port rebuild options, with the aim of these operations
resuming in the first half of 2014. Production continues at the mine although sales and iron ore shipments are
suspended. Anglo American and Zamin remain contractually committed to the sale and there remains one condition
precedent outstanding. Satisfaction of this condition is expected in the second half of the year.
Following the incident at the port, discussions are ongoing with Zamin regarding the reconstruction of the port and
timing to closure of the transaction. Although there remains a wide range of possible outcomes, the net cost to the
Group is not expected to be material based on current information available and assumptions considered reasonable
in the circumstances.
Kumba Iron Ore (Kumba)
Sishen Supply Agreement Arbitration
A dispute arose between Sishen Iron Ore Company Proprietary Limited (SIOC) and ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited
(AMSA) in February 2010, in relation to SIOC's contention that the contract mining agreement concluded between
them in 2001 had become inoperative as a result of the fact that AMSA had failed to convert its old order mining
rights. This dispute has been referred to arbitration.
The hearing of the arbitration has been postponed until after the final resolution of the mining rights dispute (see
below). The sale of iron ore from the Sishen mine to AMSA currently remains regulated in terms of the Interim Pricing
Agreement concluded in December 2012 and applies to the period 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013 or
finalisation of the arbitration (whichever is sooner).
21.4% undivided share of the Sishen mine mineral rights
On 28 March 2013 the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) issued its judgment on the appeal of the Department of
Mineral Resources (DMR) and Imperial Crown Trading 289 (Pty) Ltd (ICT) against the High Court judgment delivered
in December 2011. The SCA held that SIOC is the exclusive holder of the mining right at the Sishen mine.
Both the DMR and ICT have applied for leave of appeal to the Constitutional Court to challenge the SCA judgment.
The hearing before the Constitutional Court will be held on 3 September 2013.
The High Court order does not affect the interim supply agreement between AMSA and SIOC, which will endure until
31 December 2013 as indicated above.
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 in South Africa, 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. In addition, AASA is a defendant in five lawsuits filed in the High Court in London, England:
the first on behalf of 19 former mineworkers or their dependents; a second on behalf of 1,106 named former
mineworkers or their dependents, which is also a representative claim on behalf of all black underground miners in
Anglo gold mines who have been certified as suffering from silicosis and related diseases; a third on behalf of 630
named former claimants; a fourth on behalf of 581 claimants; and a fifth on behalf of 1,232 former mineworkers or
their dependents. AASA is also named as one of 30 defendants in a class certification application filed in South Africa
purportedly on behalf of 17,000 claimants and as the only defendant in a second class certification application in
South Africa on behalf of miners and ex-miners or their dependents who have silicosis or silico-tuberculosis and
worked at gold mines, which were owned, operated, controlled or advised by AASA from 1960 onwards, other than
Vaal Reefs.
The aggregate amount of the 24 South African claims is less than US$5 million. No specific amount of damages has
been specified in the claims filed in England or in the class certification applications filed in South Africa.
The arbitration hearing for 11 of the individual South African claims is expected to begin in the second quarter
of 2014.
AASA is contesting the jurisdiction of the English courts to hear the claims filed against it in that jurisdiction and will
oppose the applications for class certification in South Africa.
14. Related party transactions
The Group has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries, joint operations, associates and joint ventures.
The Company and its subsidiaries, in the ordinary course of business, enter into various sales, purchase and
service transactions with joint operations, associates and joint ventures and others in which the Group has a material
interest. These transactions are under terms that are no less favourable to the Group than those arranged with third
parties. These transactions are not considered to be significant, other than purchases by De Beers from its joint
operations in excess of its attributable share of their production, which were $1,668 million for the six months ended
30 June 2013 (year ended 31 December 2012: $1,049 million, representing purchases from 16 August 2012, the date
the Group obtained control of De Beers).

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;
(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

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 2013 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 16. 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 Conduct 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 2013 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 Conduct Authority.

(1) Includes copper cathode, copper in sulphate and copper in concentrate production.
(2) The majority of the ore processed at Codemin is sourced from Barro Alto mine. The amount presented for the six months ended 30 June 2013 represents the ore mined directly at Codemin, and
for consistency, all prior period amounts have been reclassified to 'ore mined' within Barro Alto.
(3) Barro Alto is currently not in commercial production and therefore all revenue and related costs associated with 10,200 tonnes (six months ended 30 June 2012: 12,000 tonnes; year ended
31 December 2012: 21,600 tonnes) of production have been capitalised.
(4) See the published results of Anglo American Platinum Limited for further analysis of production information.

Notes
1. Shareholders on the United Kingdom register of members with an address in the United Kingdom will be paid in pounds sterling and those with an
address in a country in the European Union which has adopted the euro, will be paid in euros. Such shareholders may, however, elect to be paid their
dividends in US dollars provided the UK Registrars receive such election by Wednesday 21 August 2013. Shareholders with an address elsewhere will
be paid in US dollars except those registered on the South African branch register who will be paid in South African rand.
2. Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross dividend of R3.1251 per ordinary share paid to South African shareholders at the rate of
15% unless a shareholder qualifies for exemption. After the Dividend Tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be R2.656352 per ordinary share.
Anglo American plc had a total of 1,405,465,332 ordinary shares in issue, including 11,761,620 treasury shares, at the dividend declaration date of
Friday 26 July 2013. In South Africa the dividend will be distributed by Anglo South Africa Capital (Pty) Limited, a South African company with tax
registration number 9273/364/845, in terms of the Company's dividend access share arrangements. No Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) credits
will be used for the payment of the dividend.
3. Dematerialisation and rematerialisation of registered share certificates in South Africa will not be effected by CSDPs during the period from Monday
12 August 2013 to Friday 16 August 2013 (both days inclusive).
4. Those shareholders who already participate in the DRIP need not complete a DRIP mandate form for each dividend as such forms provide an ongoing
authority to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing. Shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should obtain a mandate form from the
UK Registrars, the South African Transfer Secretaries or, in the case of those who hold their shares through the STRATE system, their CSDP.
5. In terms of the DRIP, and subject to the purchase of shares in the open market, share certificates/CREST notifications are expected to be mailed on
Tuesday 17 September 2013 in the UK. CREST accounts will be credited on Wednesday 18 September 2013. In South Africa, CSDP investor
accounts will be credited/updated no later than Friday 20 September 2013.
6. Copies of the terms and conditions of the DRIP are available from the UK Registrars or the South African Transfer Secretaries.
7. The US$: GBP / EUR conversion rates will be determined by the actual rates achieved by Anglo American buying forward contracts for those currencies,
during the two days preceding the announcement of the conversion rates, for delivery on the dividend payment date.
