AngloAmerican Investor Update

Technology & innovation will transform the physical footprint of mining $0.2-0.5bn pa technology capex to more precisely target metal & mineral with less water, waste & energy Application Impact Initiative Bulk ore sorting Coarse particle recovery (CPR) nuGen™ Zero Emissions Haulage Solution (ZEHS) Copper, PGMs & Nickel Hydraulic dry stack Copper, PGMs Anglo American Copper, PGMs & Iron Ore Portfolio-wide 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 Developing the world's largest hydrogen powered mining truck and providing critical supporting infrastructure such as refuelling, recharging, and facilitation of hydrogen production to decarbonise high power transport, using renewable energy ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Progress Mogalakwena North Concentrator (PGMs) (~70% of complex feed) and Los Bronces (Copper) Confluencia Plant (~65% of complex feed) units operational with workplans under way to support business as usual Barro Alto (Nickel) in-pit unit upgrade commenced in H2 2022 for improved future sorting performance, and additional in-pit unit under technical evaluation Planning for trials at Kolomela (Iron Ore) under way Demonstration plant construction and commissioning completed in 2021 at El Soldado (Copper), and successfully handed over to operations Constructing full scale system at Mogalakwena North Concentrator (PGMs) - start-up anticipated during Dec 2022 CPR approved at Quellaveco (Copper) to treat flotation tails, improving recoveries by ~3% over the LOM. 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) demonstration unit commissioned. The trial is still on-going, with encouraging results, expected to continue to Q4 2023 Assessing application to tailings expansion at Mogalakwena (PGMs) with benefits from water quality and quantity improvements. Brownfield trial starting in Q1 2023, after learnings from El Soldado trial ZEHS hydrogen-powered mine haul truck at Mogalakwena (PGMs) is continuing operational testing - it has accessed the deepest parts of the mine and been loaded by both the electric rope shovel and hydraulic excavators, hauling 300t loads of ore and waste materials Binding agreement signed to combine First Mode and Anglo American's nuGen™ ZEHS to accelerate the transition of mining and other heavy industries towards zero emissions. The transaction is expected to close in January 2023 Supporting decarbonisation of global fleet of ~400 ultra-class mine haul trucks 42
