Notes to editors:
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.
