Anglo American announces changes to leadership structure in South Africa

Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) announces changes to its leadership structure in South
Africa following a detailed governance review. In light of South Africa’s strategic importance to
Anglo American, this reorganisation of the Board of Anglo American South Africa (“AASA”) is
expected to bring greater effectiveness and alignment across the Group’s diversified mining
businesses in South Africa.

The following changes are effective from 1 June 2015:

Following Michael Spicer’s decision to retire as Chairman of the AASA Board, Mark Cutifani,
Chief Executive of Anglo American, will assume the role of Chairman. Mark’s appointment will
enhance the strength of the AASA Board and he will lead the Group’s engagement with key
stakeholders in South Africa.

Norman Mbazima, CEO of Kumba Iron Ore, will assume the role of Deputy Chairman of AASA,
fulfilling the fiduciary duties of the AASA Board whilst continuing to lead the Kumba business.

Anglo American has appointed Andile Sangqu to the newly established role of Executive Head
of Anglo American South Africa. Andile will work with the South Africa-based businesses to
help deliver the Group’s strategy in the region, will provide leadership and co-ordination to the
Group’s stakeholder relations initiatives in South Africa and will facilitate regional alignment with
the Group’s central functions. Andile will serve as a director on the AASA Board and report to
Norman Mbazima.

Khanyisile Kweyama has resigned from Anglo American with effect 31 May 2015 in order to
focus on her role as CEO of Business Unity South Africa.

Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: “These are important changes and
demonstrate Anglo American’s commitment to playing an active and leading role in the ongoing
development of a responsible, sustainable and competitive business and mining sector in
South Africa. I am pleased to appoint Norman Mbazima and Andile Sangqu to their new roles.
They possess the knowledge and experience required to achieve our business ambitions while
we create value for South Africa and for our shareholders and stakeholders. I would also like to
take this opportunity to thank Khanyisile Kweyama for her valuable contribution to our business
during her tenure with the Group, and wish her well for the future.

“As Chairman, a key part of my role will be to reinforce our commitment as a development
partner to all of our stakeholders in South Africa and to support the SA leadership team in
building and maintaining stakeholders’ trust and confidence in the Group.”

Anglo American is a global and diversified mining business that provides the raw materials
essential for economic development and modern life. Our people are at the heart of our
business. It is our people who use the latest technologies to find new resources, plan and build
our mines and who mine, process and move and market our products – from bulk commodities
and base metals to precious metals and diamonds (through De Beers) – to our customers
around the world. Our diversified portfolio of products spans the economic development cycle
and, as a responsible miner, we are the custodians of precious resources. We work together
with our key partners and stakeholders to unlock the long-term value that those resources
represent for our shareholders, but also for the communities and countries in which we operate
– creating sustainable value and making a real difference. Our mining operations, growth
projects and exploration and marketing activities extend across southern Africa, South America,
Australia, North America, Asia and Europe.
