Anglo American rough diamond sales value for De Beers’ seventh sales cycle of 2017

Anglo American plc announces the value of rough diamond sales (Global Sightholder Sales and
Auction Sales) for De Beers’ seventh sales cycle of 2017, amounting to $505 million.

Bruce Cleaver, CEO of De Beers, said: “As expected, rough diamond sales were somewhat lower
in the seventh cycle of the year, with some midstream demand having already been brought
forward into Cycle 6 due to Diwali being earlier than normal in 2017.

“Businesses in the diamond industry’s midstream segment are adopting a watchful approach as
attention now turns to the Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair in mid-September.”
