Production Report for the 12 months ended 31 December 2016


Production highlights
-   Full year production was in line with guidance, reflecting production suspensions in copper, zinc, coal
    and oil.
-   Solid Q4 2016 production across the board.
-   Own-sourced copper production of 1,425,800 tonnes was 5% lower than 2015, reflecting the
    suspended production at our African Copper assets, partly offset by higher grades and throughput
    within the South American portfolio.
-   Own-sourced zinc production of 1,094,100 tonnes was 24% down on 2015, due to the October 2015
    announced production curtailments, mainly in Australia and Peru.
-   Own-sourced nickel production of 115,100 tonnes was 20% higher than 2015, when major prior year
    scheduled maintenance impacted throughput at the Sudbury smelter.
-   Coal production of 124.9 million tonnes was 5% down on 2015, mainly reflecting the divestment of
    Optimum Coal.
-   Glencore’s entitlement oil interest of 7.5 million barrels was 29% lower than 2015, due to depletion of
    existing fields.
-   2017 production guidance, unchanged from the Investor Update on 1 December 2016, is detailed on
    page 19 of the full report.
-   Our Resources & Reserves report for 2016, also published today, highlights good progress being
    made on our various potential extension projects and some exploration successes, including:
        -   Coroccohuayco (Antapaccay) upgraded 184 million tonnes to ore reserves at ~1% copper;
        -   Zhairem (Kazzinc) upgraded over 60 million tonnes to ore reserves with >4% zinc;
        -   Vasilkovskoye’s gold ore reserve base (Kazzinc) increased by 14 million tonnes (16%), with
            resources up by 44 million tonnes.
