Investor Presentaiton
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
Initiative
Application
Bulk ore sorting
Copper, PGMs
& Nickel
Coarse particle

Solution (ZEHS)
Portfolio-wide
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
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 (PGMs) North Concentrator (~70% of complex feed) and Los
Bronces (Copper) Confluencia Plant (~65% of complex feed) units operational
and integration to business as usual is under way
Barro Alto (Nickel) in-pit unit to commence upgrades 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), with further testing in progress
Constructing full scale system at Mogalakwena North concentrator (PGMs) -
start-up anticipated Q4 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. Full-scale operation is
under and validation will continue until Q1 2023
way
Assessing application to tailings expansion at Mogalakwena (PGMs) with
benefits from water quality and quantity improvements. Brownfield trial starting
in Q3 2022
Launched prototype ZEHS hydrogen-powered mine haul truck at Mogalakwena
(PGMS) - the world's largest, designed to operate in everyday mining conditions
Non-binding terms to combine nuGenTM ZEHS with First Mode, specialist
