Impact
Deliver improved feed grade to plants through
early rejection of waste, resulting in energy.
water and cost savings
Innovative flotation process allows material to
be ground to a larger particle size, rejecting
coarse gangue and allowing water to release
from coarser ore particles, improving energy
efficiencies and water savings
Engineering of geotechnically stable tailings
facilities that dry out in weeks, facilitating up to
85% water recovery
Zero Emissions
Haulage Solution
(ZEHS)
Portfolio-wide
Through FirstMode, developing hydrogen-
powered ultra-class mining haul trucks to
decarbonise our largest source of diesel
consumption, through renewable energy

Progress
Los Bronces (Copper) Confluencia Plant (~65% of complex feed) unit operational with workplans under way to
support business as usual. Currently, units are being impacted by feed constraints
Barro Alto (Nickel) in-pit upgraded unit commenced operation in Q2 2023 and currently ramping up to achieve
upgrade potential.
Planning for trials at Kolomela (Iron Ore) under way
El Soldado (Copper) CPR unit in operation
Constructing full scale system at Mogalakwena North Concentrator (PGMS) - slurry commissioning completed
and in the ramp-up and optimisation phase. Expected to deliver productivity benefits in H2 2023
CPR approved at Quellaveco (Copper) to treat flotation tails, improving recoveries by ~3% over the LOA.
Commissioning expected in late 2023
Feasibility work continues at Los Bronces (Copper) & Minas-Rio (Iron Ore). Options being investigated at
Collahuasi (Copper)
El Soldado (Copper) - the trial is still on-going and expected to continue to Q2 2024. Phase 1 is complete, and
results are encouraging with -80% water recovery and rapid consolidation
Assessing application to tailings expansion at Mogalakwena (PGMS) with benefits from water quality and
quantity improvements. Brownfield trial started in Q2 2023, after learnings from El Soldado trial
ZEHS hydrogen-powered hybrid mine haul truck at Mogalakwena (PGMS) successfully completed its prototype
testing phase, accessing the deepest parts of the mine and hauling 300t loads
Truck development continues with second generation powerplant, refuelling systems and infrastructure to be
built and tested
In January 2023, completed the transaction to combine First Mode and Anglo American's nuGen TM ZEHS, to
accelerate the transition of mining and other heavy industries towards zero emissions
1. Technology and innovation capex is estimated to be between $0.1-0.3bn pa (previously $0.2-0.5bn pa), including capex on Zero Emissions Haulage Solution (ZEHS) programmes and the lower guidance reflects equity accounting of the SA Regional Renewable
Energy Ecosystem joint venture, Envusa Energy.
