Anglo American announces the completion of the sale of Norte copper business,
bringing 2015 asset disposal cash proceeds to date to $1.9 billion

Anglo American plc ("Anglo American") announces that it has completed the sale of its interest
in Anglo American Norte S.A. (“Norte”) to an investor consortium led by Audley Capital
Advisors LLP, with Orion Mine Finance as the principal co-investor. Norte consists of the
Mantoverde and Mantos Blancos copper mines located in northern Chile.

Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: “The completed sale of Norte to the
Audley consortium represents further progress with our asset disposal programme and wider
strategy to reshape the Anglo American portfolio, prioritising our capital on those assets that
will create the most value for our shareholders over the long term. We have delivered $1.9
billion in cash proceeds this year, including $300 million up-front for Norte to add to the $1.6
billion we received for our stake in Lafarge Tarmac in July.”
