RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY INFORMATION Any information contained in this presentation that has been derived from publicly available sources (or views based on such information) has not been independently verified. The South32 Group does not make any representation or warranty about the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information. This presentation should not be relied upon as a recommendation or forecast by South32. NO FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE SOUTH AFRICA South32 does not provide any financial or investment 'advice' as that term is defined in the South African Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 37 of 2002, and we strongly recommend that you seek professional advice. MINERAL RESOURCES AND ORE RESERVES Information in this presentation that relates to Ore/Coal Reserve or Mineral/Coal Resource estimates for all operations and projects was declared as part of South32's annual Resource and Reserve declaration in the FY21 Annual Report (www.south32.net) issued on 3 September 2021 and prepared by Competent Persons in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code. South32 confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcements. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. South32 confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement. Illawarra Metallurgical Coal Production Target cautionary statement: The Coal Resources and Coal Reserves estimates underpinning the Production Target have been prepared by Competent Persons and reported in accordance with the JORC Code. The Coal Resources and Coal Reserves estimates are available to view in South32's FY21 Annual Report (www.south32.net) published on 3 September 2021. The stated Production Target is based on South32's current expectations of future results or events and should not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met. Resource life is estimated using Mineral Resources (extracted from South32's FY21 Annual Report published on 3 September 2021 and available to view on www.south32.net) and Exploration Target (details of which are available in the "Hermosa Project Update" announcement published on 17 January 2022), converted to a run-of-mine basis using conversion factors, divided by the nominated run-of-mine production rate on a 100% basis. Whilst South32 believes it has a reasonable basis to reference this resource life and incorporate it within its Production Targets, it should be noted that resource life calculations are indicative only and do not necessarily reflect future uncertainties such as economic conditions, technical or permitting issues. Resource life is based on our current expectations of future results and should not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Clark Deposit scoping study cautionary statement: The scoping study referred to in this presentation is based on the original announcement "Hermosa Project Update" released on 17 January 2022 and is available to view on www.south32.net. South32 confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement. Taylor Production Targets cautionary statement: The information in this presentation that refers to Production Target and forecast financial information is based on Measured (20%), Indicated (62%), Inferred (14%) Mineral Resources and Exploration Target (4%) for the Taylor Deposit. The Mineral Resources underpinning the Production Target have been prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the JORC Code. All material assumptions on which the Production Target and forecast financial information is based is provided in the "Hermosa Project Update" announcement released on 17 January 2022. There is low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target will be realised. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. In respect of Exploration Target used in the Production Target, there has been insufficient exploration to determine a Mineral Resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Mineral Resources or that the Production Target itself will be realised. The stated Production Target is based on South32's current expectations of future results or events and should not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met. South32 confirms that inclusion of 18% of tonnage (14% Inferred Mineral Resources and 4% Exploration target) is not the determining factor of the project viability and the project forecasts a positive financial performance when using 82% tonnage (20% Measured and 62% Indicated Mineral Resources). South32 is satisfied, therefore, that the use of Inferred Mineral Resources and Exploration Target in the Production Target and forecast financial information reporting is reasonable. Peake Exploration Target: The information is this presentation that relates to Exploration Target for Peake is extracted from "Hermosa Project Update" released on 17 January 2022 and is available to view on www.south32.net. The information was prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code. South32 confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement. South32 confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement. Flux Exploration Target: The information is this presentation that relates to Exploration Target for Flux is extracted from "South32 Strategy and Business Update" released on 18 May 2021 and is available to view on www.south32.net. The information was prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code. South32 confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement. South32 confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

FOOTNOTES SOUTH32 South Africa Manganese ore has been reported as a 54.6% interest (previously 60%) reflecting our Metalloys manganese alloy smelter (60% interest) having been placed on care and maintenance, and aligning with our interest in Hotazel Manganese Mines (HMM). South32 has a 44.4% ownership interest in HMM. 26% of HMM is owned by a B-BBEE consortium comprising Ntsimbintle Mining (9%), NCAB Resources (7%), Iziko Mining (5%) and HMM Education Trust (5%). The interests owned by NCAB Resources, Iziko Mining and HMM Education Trust were acquired using vendor finance with the loans repayable via distributions attributable to these parties, pro rata to their share in HMM. Until these loans are repaid, South32's interest in HMM is accounted at 54.6%. During the current financial reporting period the internal reporting of the Group's consolidated financial results was changed. The underlying information reflects the Group's interest in material equity accounted joint ventures and is presented on a proportional consolidation basis, which is the measure used by the Group's Board and management to assess their performance. FY21 comparative information has been restated to reflect this change. FY21 includes TEMCO and discontinued operation South Africa Energy Coal. Including distributions from our manganese and Sierra Gorda EAls. Based on FY24 production guidance of 179kt at Brazil Aluminium and 370kt at Mozal Aluminium, compared to prior capacity of 273kt at Mozal Aluminium. Group FY22 (1,374kt) and FY23e (1,568kt) copper equivalent production was calculated using FY22 realised prices for all operations except for Brazil Aluminium which is based on the FY22 average index price for aluminium. Operating margin comprises Underlying EBITDA excluding third party product EBITDA, divided by revenue excluding third party product revenue. Metrics describing health, safety, environment, people and community related performance in this presentation apply to 'operated operations' that have been wholly owned and operated by South32, or that have been operated by South32 in a joint arrangement. Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF): (The sum of recordable injuries x 1,000,000) + exposure hours. This is stated in units of per million hours worked for employees and contractors. Total recordable illness frequency (TRILF): (The sum of recordable illnesses x 1,000,000) + exposure hours. To ensure that incident classification definitions are applied uniformly across our workforce, we have adopted the United States Government Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) guidelines for the recording and reporting of occupational injuries and illnesses. 10. In July 2022, South32 received an ESG Risk Rating of 23.9 from Sustainalytics and was assessed to be at medium risk of experiencing material financial impacts from ESG factors.

Sierra Gorda's copper equivalent production (kt) was calculated by aggregating revenues from copper, molybdenum, gold and silver, and dividing the total Revenue by the price of copper. FY22 realised prices for copper (US$3.50/lb), molybdenum (US$18.48/lb), gold (US$1,934/oz) and silver (US$23.5/oz) have been used for FY22 and FY23e. 32. Zinc equivalent (kt) was calculated by aggregating revenues from payable silver, lead and zinc, and dividing the total Revenue by the price of zinc. FY22 realised prices for zinc (US$3,248/t), lead (US$2,046/t) and silver (US$21.0/oz) have been used for FY21, FY22, FY23e and FY24e. 33. FY23 Operating unit cost guidance includes royalties (where appropriate) and the influence of exchange rates, and includes various assumptions for FY23, including: an alumina price of US$364/t; an average blended coal price of US$265/t for Illawarra Metallurgical Coal; a manganese ore price of US$6.40/dmtu for 44% manganese product; a nickel price of US$9.94/lb; a silver price of US$22.11/troy oz; a lead price of US$2,059/t (gross of treatment and refining charges); a zinc price of US$3,480/t (gross of treatment and refining charges); a copper price of US$4.07/lb (gross of treatment and refining charges); a molybdenum price of US$16.95/lb (gross of treatment and refining charges); a gold price of US$1,860/troy oz; an AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.69; a USD:ZAR exchange rate of 16.62; a USD: COP exchange rate of 3,851; and a reference price for caustic soda; all of which reflected forward markets as at June 2022 or our internal expectations. 34. Sierra Gorda and Cannington Operating unit cost is Revenue less Underlying EBITDA divided by ore processed. Periodic movements in finished product inventory may impact Operating unit costs as related marketing costs may change. 35. FOB ore Operating unit cost is Revenue less Underlying EBITDA, freight and marketing costs, divided by ore sales volume. 36. 37. Cerro Matoso has a license to operate to 1 August 2029 under terms of Contract 051-96M, with the option of a 15-year term extension to 2044. In FY21, we developed a scenario in which global warming is assumed to be limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and analysed the potential impacts on commodity demand. In this scenario the world transitions to a low-carbon economy at a much faster rate than in our base case (which is a probable trajectory of at least 2°C warming). The chart illustrates projected long-term commodity demand in the 1.5°C scenario compared to our base case. Refer to market release "Financial Results and Outlook Year Ended 30 June 2022" dated 25 August 2022. Sale price includes US$103M in cash payments, US$82M of Anglo Pacific shares and contingent payments of up to US$15M. 39. Refers to aluminium produced using renewable power. 38. 40. Refer to media release "South32 completes acquisition of additional interest in Mineração Rio do Norte" dated 2 May 2022. 41.
