Production Report for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2022

Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: "Our production increased by 10%(1) in the fourth quarter
compared to the same period in 2021, driven by the ongoing ramp-up at Quellaveco which produced more than 80,000
tonnes of copper. Our Steelmaking Coal operations also contributed by having all three of the longwall operations
running, while we saw higher rough diamond production from De Beers and improved operational performance at
Minas-Rio and Kumba, our iron ore businesses. Our strong quarterly improvement was tempered by weaker performance
at our PGMs operations.

"In 2023, our unwavering focus remains on ensuring a safe and stable platform for strengthened and repeatable
operational performance, while progressing towards our sustainability ambitions and advancing our organic growth
options. The completion of the transaction in January to combine First Mode and nuGenTM - our zero emissions haulage
system - is designed to accelerate the development and commercialisation of this innovative decarbonisation
technology as we work towards carbon neutral operations by 2040."

Q4 2022 highlights

- Secured 100% renewable electricity supply for our operations in Australia from 2025, effectively removing all Scope 2
  emissions from our Steelmaking Coal business.
- Completed phase one of an integrated water project for Los Bronces copper operation in Chile: secures desalinated
  water for more than 45% of Los Bronces' needs from 2025, while also providing clean water for local communities.
- Copper production increased by 52%, due to the ramp-up of production from our new Quellaveco copper mine in Peru,
  while production from our operations in Chile was broadly flat.
- Rough diamond production increased by 6%, reflecting strong operational performance, particularly at Jwaneng,
  which was partially offset by the planned completion of the final cut at Venetia's open pit.
- Steelmaking coal production increased by 6%, primarily due to all three underground longwall operations operating in
  Q4 2022, partially offset by the planned end of production at the Grasstree operation in January 2022.
- Iron ore production increased by 4%, reflecting higher plant availability at Minas-Rio, and improved operational
  performance at Kumba's Sishen mine, which more than offset the constraints on Kolomela's production that resulted
  from disappointing third party logistics performance.
- Metal in concentrate production from our Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) operations decreased by 10%, due to the
  impact of lower grades at Mogalakwena and planned infrastructure closures at Amandelbult.
- Nickel production decreased by 4%, primarily due to planned annual maintenance.

Rough diamond production increased by 6% to 8.2 million carats, reflecting strong operational performance across the
assets, partially offset by the planned completion of the final cut at Venetia's open pit.

In Botswana, production increased by 11% to 5.8 million carats, primarily driven by strong plant performance, particularly
at Jwaneng.

Namibia production increased by 51% to 0.6 million carats, primarily driven by the continued strong performance from
the Benguela Gem vessel and the treatment of higher grade ore at the land operations.

South Africa production decreased by 27% to 0.9 million carats, due to the planned completion of the final cut at
Venetia's open pit. The mining of the open pit was completed in December and the mine will transition to underground
operations in 2023.

Production in Canada increased by 7% to 0.8 million carats, primarily driven by the treatment of higher grade ore.

Midstream polished diamond inventories continued to build in the fourth quarter, as retailers restocked more cautiously
amidst the growing economic uncertainty. This led to downward pressure on wholesale polished prices. However,
demand for De Beers' rough diamonds remained steady, with rough diamond sales totalling 7.3 million carats (6.6 million
carats on a consolidated basis)(2) from two Sights, compared with 7.7 million carats (7.2 million carats on a consolidated
basis)(2) from three Sights in Q4 2021, and 9.1 million carats (8.5 million carats on a consolidated basis) (2) from three
Sights in Q3 2022.

The full year consolidated average realised price increased by 35% to $197/ct (2021: $146/ct), driven by a 23%
increase in the rough diamond price index, as well as selling a larger proportion of higher value rough diamonds in the first
half of the year. The increase in the rough price index reflected overall positive consumer demand for diamond jewellery
and was supported by De Beers' proposition of provenance-assured diamonds.

(1) Copper production shown on a contained metal basis. Reflects copper production from the Copper operations in Chile and Peru only (excludes copper
    production from the Platinum Group Metals business unit).

Copper production increased by 52% to 244,300 tonnes, due to the ramp-up of production from Quellaveco in Peru,
while Chile's production was broadly flat.

Chile - Copper production increased by 1% to 162,300 tonnes, primarily due to higher grade at El Soldado, partially
offset by planned lower grades at Collahuasi.

Production from Los Bronces was broadly flat at 84,300 tonnes. Copper grade, recovery and plant stability improved in
Q4 vs. Q3, however, the impact from ore hardness remains an ongoing challenge.

At Collahuasi, attributable production decreased by 5% to 62,900 tonnes, as higher throughput from strong plant
performance was offset by planned lower ore grades (1.08% vs 1.18%).

Production from El Soldado increased by 54% to 15,100 tonnes, driven by planned higher grades (0.95% vs 0.63%),
reflecting production from a new phase of the mine.

Chile´s central zone continues to face severe drought conditions. While the rain and snowfall deficit decreased during the
second half of 2022, the outlook for 2023 remains very dry and these conditions place pressure on water availability. In
the short term, various management initiatives to improve water efficiency and secure alternative sources of water
continue to mitigate the impact on production. An agreement to secure desalinated water supply for more than 45% of
Los Bronces' water needs from 2025 was completed in Q4 2022. This is the first step of an integrated plan to eliminate
the use of fresh water at the Los Bronces operation.

2022 sales volumes were 563,000 tonnes at an average realised price of 386c/lb, which is lower than the average LME
price of 400c/lb, reflecting the impact of provisional pricing adjustments and the timing of sales across the period. At 31
December 2022, 166,900 tonnes of copper were provisionally priced at 379c/lb.

Los Bronces sales of copper concentrate in the first half of 2023, and in particular the first quarter, will be lower as a result
of the fire at the Ventanas port. Alternative export routes are being secured and any reduction in sales in the first half is
expected to be fully recovered in the second half of the year.

Peru - Following first production from the Quellaveco mine in July 2022, the operational ramp-up continued during the
fourth quarter, with 82,000 tonnes produced, taking the full year production to 102,300 tonnes. The second processing
line started up in September, with regulatory clearances received in early December. Quellaveco is expected to ramp-up
fully around mid-2023.

2022 sales volumes were 77,500 tonnes at an average realised price of 379c/lb, higher than the average LME price of
362c/lb(1), reflecting the benefit of provisional pricing adjustments since shipments commenced. At 31 December 2022,
74,800 tonnes of copper were provisionally priced at 380c/lb.
2023 Guidance

Production guidance for 2023 is 840,000-930,000 tonnes (Chile 530,000-580,000 tonnes; Peru 310,000-350,000
tonnes). Production in Chile is subject to water availability, and in Peru is subject to any socio-political effects.

Unit cost guidance for 2023 is c.156c/lb (Chile c.190c/lb; Peru c.100c/lb).

Metal in concentrate production

Own mined production decreased by 11% to 656,600 ounces, primarily due to lower grades at Mogalakwena, as well as
planned infrastructure closures at Amandelbult, partially offset by a strong performance at Mototolo.

Mogalakwena production decreased by 15% to 256,700 ounces as a result of mining in a lower grade area. Production
at Amandelbult decreased by 17% to 176,600 ounces, primarily due to planned infrastructure closures and the closure of
the Merensky Concentrator. Unki was impacted by maintenance at the concentrator and lower grade leading to a 17%
decrease in production to 52,600 ounces. These were partially offset by a 26% increase in production from Mototolo,
reflecting a strong mining performance, that benefited from higher grade and recovery. Joint operations were broadly flat
at 99,000 ounces.

Purchase of concentrate was 10% lower at 333,800 ounces, due to lower third party receipts.

Refined production

Refined production decreased by 37% to 877,200 ounces, as the Polokwane smelter was decommissioned for its first full
structural rebuild in twelve years. The rebuild was completed at the end of Q4 2022 and by the end of January 2023, the
ramp-up was largely completed.

Sales

Sales volumes decreased by 31%, in line with refined production.

The full year average realised basket price was $2,551/PGM ounce, reflecting lower market prices.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance (metal in concentrate) for 2023 is 3.6-4.0 million ounces(1). Refined production guidance for 2023 is
3.6-4.0 million ounces, subject to the impact of Eskom load-shedding.

Unit cost guidance for 2023 is c.$1,025/PGM ounce.

(1) Metal in concentrate production is expected to be 1.6-1.8 million ounces of platinum, 1.2-1.3 million ounces of palladium and 0.8-0.9 million ounces of
    other PGMs and gold; with own mined output accounting for ~65%.

(1) Total iron ore is the sum of Kumba and Minas-Rio.
(2) Volumes are reported as wet metric tonnes. Product is shipped with ~1.6% moisture.
(3) Volumes are reported as wet metric tonnes. Product is shipped with ~9% moisture.

Iron ore production increased by 4% to 15.7 million tonnes, reflecting a 7% increase at Minas-Rio and a 3% increase at Kumba.

Kumba - Total production increased to 10.0 million tonnes, primarily driven by a 7% increase at Sishen to 7.0 million
tonnes, reflecting an improved operational performance. Kolomela decreased by 7% to 3.0 million tonnes, as production
was constrained by high stock levels at the mine due to the industrial action at Transnet (the third party rail and port
operator), as well as sub-optimal rail performance following their Q4 annual shut-down for rail and port maintenance.

Total sales decreased by 34% to 7.1 million tonnes(1), in light of the disappointing third party logistics performance,
resulting in low levels of finished stock at the port.

For the full year, Kumba's iron (Fe) content averaged 63.8% (2021: 64.1%), while the average lump:fines ratio was 67:33
(2021: 69:31).

The full year average realised price of $113/tonne(1) (FOB South Africa, wet basis) was 13% higher than the 62% Fe
benchmark price of $100/tonne (FOB South Africa, adjusted for freight and moisture), reflecting the lump and Fe content
quality premiums that the Kumba products attract, partly offset by the impact of provisionally priced sales volumes.

Minas-Rio - Production increased by 7% to 5.7 million tonnes, primarily due to higher plant and mining equipment
availability, despite particularly high rainfall in December that has continued into early 2023.

The full year average realised price of $108/tonne (FOB Brazil, wet basis) was in line with the Metal Bulletin 66 price of
$108/tonne (FOB Brazil, adjusted for freight and moisture), which reflects the premium for our high quality product,
including higher (~67%) Fe content, but was offset by the impact of provisionally priced volumes.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance (wet basis) for 2023 is 57-61 million tonnes (Kumba 35-37 million tonnes; Minas-Rio 22-24 million
tonnes). Kumba is subject to third party rail and port performance.

Unit cost guidance (wet basis) for 2023 is c.$39/tonne (Kumba c.$44/tonne; Minas-Rio c.$32/tonne).

(1) Sales volumes and realised price are reported on a wet basis and differ to Kumba's standalone results due to sales to other Group companies.

(1) Anglo American's attributable share of production. Includes production relating to processing of third party product.

Steelmaking coal production increased by 6% to 4.6 million tonnes, primarily due to the ramp-up of the Grosvenor
longwall operation following its restart in February 2022. Production from the new Aquila longwall operation, which
began operations in February 2022, was offset by the planned end of production at the Grasstree operation in January
2022. Tight labour markets, as well as unseasonal wet weather at the open pits, continued to impact production through
the fourth quarter and into early 2023.

The focus at the underground longwall operations (Moranbah, Grosvenor and Aquila) remains on safety and increasing
longwall performance through stability.

The ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was 78:22, higher than Q4 2021 (67:33), reflecting
the higher contribution of premium hard coking coal from the Grosvenor and Moranbah longwall operations.

The full year average realised price for hard coking coal was $310/tonne, which was lower than the benchmark price of
$364/tonne. The price realisation was lower at 85% (2021: 93%) driven by a higher volume of premium hard coking coal
being produced and sold in the second half of 2022 when the benchmark price was lower.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance for 2023 is 16-19 million tonnes.

Unit cost guidance for 2023 is c.$105/tonne.

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditure increased by 10% to $112 million. Exploration expenditure increased by 4% to
$49 million, principally in copper. Evaluation expenditure increased by 15% to $63 million, driven by higher spend in iron
ore and platinum group metals.

Corporate and other activities

During the quarter, the Group finalised the insurance claim for the overpressure event at Moranbah, resulting in a one-off
expense of $0.1 billion within the Corporate and other segment, with an offsetting one-off benefit in the Steelmaking Coal
segment. This is in addition to amounts settled in the first half of 2022. Furthermore, charges recognised within EBITDA
relating to rehabilitation provisions are currently estimated to be $0.2 billion at Copper and $0.1 billion at De Beers.

Notes

- This Production Report for the quarter ended 31 December 2022 is unaudited.
- Production figures are sometimes more precise than the rounded numbers shown in this Production Report.
- Copper equivalent production shows changes in underlying production volume. It is calculated by expressing each
  product's volume as revenue, subsequently converting the revenue into copper equivalent units by dividing by the
  copper price (per tonne). Long-term forecast prices are used, in order that period-on-period comparisons exclude any
  impact for movements in price.
- Please refer to page 16 for information on forward-looking statements.

environmental, social and governance) goals, ambitions, targets, visions, milestones and aspirations, are forward-looking

factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Anglo American or industry results to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Anglo American's present and future
business strategies and the environment in which Anglo American will operate in the future. Important factors that could
cause Anglo American's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-
looking statements include, among others, levels of actual production during any period, levels of global demand and
commodity market prices, unanticipated downturns in business relationships with customers or their purchase from
Anglo American, mineral resource exploration and project development capabilities and delivery, recovery rates and
other operational capabilities, safety, health or environmental incidents, the effects of global pandemics and outbreaks
of infectious diseases, the impact of attacks from third parties on our information systems, natural catastrophes or
adverse geological conditions, climate change and extreme weather events, the outcome of litigation or regulatory
proceedings, the availability of mining and processing equipment, the ability to obtain key inputs in a timely manner, the
ability to produce and transport products profitably, the availability of necessary infrastructure (including transportation)
services, the development, efficacy and adoption of new technology or competing, challenges in realising resource
estimates or discovering new economic mineralisation, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices
and operating costs, the availability of sufficient credit, liquidity and counterparty risks, the effects of inflation, terrorism,
war, conflict, political or civil unrest, uncertainty, tensions and disputes and economic and financial conditions around the
world, evolving societal and stakeholder requirements and expectations, shortages of skilled employees, unexpected
difficulties relating to acquisitions or divestitures, competitive pressures and the actions of competitors, activities by
courts, regulators and governmental authorities such as in relation to permitting or forcing closure of mines and ceasing
of operations or maintenance of Anglo American's assets and changes in taxation or safety, health, environmental or
other types of regulation in the countries where Anglo American operates, conflicts over land and resource ownership
rights and such other risk factors identified in Anglo American's most recent Annual Report. Forward-looking statements
should, therefore, be construed in light of such risk factors and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
statements.
