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.

Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.
