Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2023

Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: "Production increased by 11%(1) compared to the second
quarter in 2022, reflecting the ramp-up of our new Quellaveco copper mine in Peru, which has now reached commercial
production levels. We also delivered a strong performance at our Minas-Rio iron ore operation in Brazil, as well as higher
production from our open cut operations in Steelmaking Coal in Australia. These were offset by temporary lower
production from De Beers' Venetia mine, as it transitions from open pit to underground, and expected lower PGMs
production, as well as the impact of lower copper throughput and grades in Chile.

"Our focus remains resolutely on safely achieving our full year production guidance through the seasonally stronger
second half of the year. The recent changes to our executive leadership team, coupled with re-organising how we
manage our production businesses and the functional expertise that supports them, better positions us to drive safe and
consistent operational performance and strategic delivery over the longer term."

Q2 2023 highlights

- De Beers and the Government of Botswana reached an agreement in principle(2) on a new 10-year sales agreement
  for Debswana's rough diamond production (through to 2033) and a 25-year extension of the Debswana mining
  licences (through to 2054).
- Copper production increased by 56%, reflecting the ramp-up to commercial production levels at our new Quellaveco
  mine in Peru, while production from our operations in Chile decreased by 2%.
- Steelmaking coal production increased by 28%, reflecting higher production at the open cut operations, which were
  impacted by unseasonal wet weather in Q2 2022.
- Iron ore production increased by 9%, principally driven by a strong operational performance at Minas-Rio where
  production increased by 29%.
- Nickel production decreased by 4%, reflecting the impact of lower grades.
- Rough diamond production decreased by 5%, as a strong operational performance was offset by expected lower
  production from Venetia, as it transitions to underground operations.
- Production from our Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) operations decreased by 9%, mainly driven by short-term
  operational challenges and 2022 planned infrastructure closures at Amandelbult, as well as the planned ramp-down
  of Kroondal.

(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).

Copper production increased by 56% to 209,100 tonnes, due to the ramp-up of production from our new Quellaveco
mine in Peru, while Chile's production decreased by 2%.

Chile - Copper production decreased by 2% to 130,800 tonnes, driven by lower throughput at Collahuasi and lower
grades at Los Bronces, partially offset by planned higher grade at El Soldado.

Production from Los Bronces decreased by 7% to 59,800 tonnes, primarily due to lower grades (0.51% vs. 0.57%),
partially offset by plant improvement initiatives which increased throughput, despite higher ore hardness, and resulted in
higher copper recovery (83% vs 82%). The unfavourable ore characteristics, including lower grade and higher ore
hardness, of the current mining area will continue to impact operations until the next phase of the mine is accessed.

At Collahuasi, attributable production decreased by 8% to 57,300 tonnes, reflecting lower throughput due to
maintenance as well as lower copper recovery.

Production from El Soldado increased by 83% to 13,700 tonnes, driven by planned higher grades (0.94% vs 0.50%),
reflecting production from a new phase of the mine.

Chile´s central zone continues to face severe drought conditions. Management initiatives to improve water efficiency and
secure alternative sources of water will continue in order to mitigate the impact on production. From 2025, more than
45% of Los Bronces' needs will be met through a desalinated water supply.

Los Bronces' sales of copper concentrate in the quarter were not significantly affected by the fire at the third-party
Ventanas port at the end of 2022. Alternative export routes were successfully secured, with the impact expected to be
recovered by the end of the year, subject to alternative port availability.

The H1 2023 average realised price of 393 c/lb includes 134,500 tonnes of copper provisionally priced on 30 June at an
average of 377 c/lb.

Peru - Quellaveco produced 78,300 tonnes, reflecting the progressive ramp-up in production volumes, with the plant
achieving throughput beyond nameplate capacity several times during the quarter, reaching commercial production
levels in June, while the tailings dam growth phase is progressing according to plan.

Following first production from the molybdenum plant in April 2023, the ramp-up is near completion.

The H1 2023 average realised price of 394 c/lb includes 91,700 tonnes of copper provisionally priced on 30 June at an
average of 377 c/lb.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance for 2023 is unchanged at 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.

Unit cost guidance for 2023 is revised to c.166 c/lb(1) (previously c.156 c/lb) (Chile c.205 c/lb(1) (previously c.190 c/lb),
reflecting the stronger Chilean peso; Peru c.100 c/lb(1)).

Nickel production decreased by 4% to 9,900 tonnes, reflecting the impact of lower grades, despite operational
improvements at Codemin.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance for 2023 is unchanged at 38,000-40,000 tonnes.

Unit cost guidance for 2023 is revised to c.560 c/lb(1) (previously c.515 c/lb), reflecting the stronger Brazilian real and
impact of higher costs of production due to lower grade ore.

Metal in concentrate production

Own mined production decreased by 11% to 612,700 ounces, due to lower production from Amandelbult and Mogalakwena.

Production at Amandelbult decreased by 19% to 147,900 ounces, primarily driven by short-term operational challenges
as well as planned infrastructure closures at the end of 2022. Mogalakwena production decreased by 7% to 242,400
ounces and Unki production decreased by 11% to 59,000 ounces, due to mining through planned lower grade areas.
Eskom load-curtailment deferred production by ~22,000 ounces, primarily at Amandelbult and Mogalakwena. Joint
operations decreased by 14% to 86,000 ounces, mainly due to the planned ramp-down at Kroondal.

Purchase of concentrate was 4% lower at 330,400 ounces, due to lower volumes from the Kroondal joint operation.
Refined production

Refined production decreased by 13% to 1,073,800 ounces, primarily due to planned asset integrity work at the
processing operations, lower metal in concentrate volumes and the impact of Eskom load-curtailment on the smelters of
~17,000 ounces for the period.

Sales

Sales volumes decreased by 8% in line with lower refined production.

The H1 2023 average realised basket price was $1,885/PGM ounce, reflecting lower market prices compared to H1 2022.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance (metal in concentrate) for 2023 is unchanged at 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-curtailment.

Unit cost guidance for 2023 is revised to c.$1,000/PGM ounce(2) (previously c.$1,025/PGM ounce), reflecting the weaker
South African rand.

(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%.
(2) FX assumption of ~18 ZAR:USD (previously ~17 ZAR:USD).

Rough diamond production decreased by 5% to 7.6 million carats, due to the planned reduction in South Africa while the
Venetia open pit transitions to underground operations, which offset strong performance driven by the planned
treatment of higher grade ore at the remaining assets.

In Botswana, production increased by 6% to 5.8 million carats, driven by the planned treatment of higher grade ore at
Orapa. This was partly offset by lower throughput at Jwaneng due to planned maintenance.

Namibia production increased by 8% to 0.6 million carats, primarily driven by the ongoing ramp-up and expansion of the
mining area at the land operations.

South Africa production decreased by 62% to 0.5 million carats, due to the planned end of Venetia's open pit operations
in December 2022. Venetia continues to process lower grade surface stockpiles, which will result in temporary lower
production levels as it transitions to underground operations.

Production in Canada increased by 6% to 0.7 million carats, driven by the treatment of higher grade ore despite planned
plant maintenance.

Demand for rough diamonds was impacted by the ongoing macro-economic headwinds, with high levels of polished
diamond inventory in the midstream. Rough diamond sales totalled 7.6 million carats (6.4 million carats on a
consolidated basis)(2) from two Sights, compared with 9.4 million carats (8.3 million carats on a consolidated basis) (2)
from three Sights in Q2 2022, and 9.7 million carats (8.9 million carats on a consolidated basis)(2) from three Sights in Q1 2023.

The H1 2023 consolidated average realised price decreased by 23% to $163/ct (H1 2022: $213/ct), primarily due to
selling a larger proportion of lower value rough diamonds, as Sightholders took a more cautious approach to planning
their 2023 allocation schedule due to the uncertain macro-economic outlook. The average rough price index decreased
by 2%, reflecting the overall softening in consumer demand for diamond jewellery and a build-up of inventory in the midstream.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance(1) for 2023 is unchanged at 30-33 million carats (100% basis), subject to trading conditions.

Unit cost guidance for 2023 is revised to c.$75/carat(3) (previously c.$80/carat), reflecting the weaker South African rand.

(1) De Beers Group production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kue joint operation which is on an attributable 51% basis.
(2) Consolidated sales volumes exclude De Beers Group's JV partners' 50% proportionate share of sales to entities outside De Beers Group
    from the Diamond Trading Company Botswana and the Namibia Diamond Trading Company, which are included in total sales volume (100% basis).
(3) FX assumption of ~18 ZAR:USD (previously ~17 ZAR:USD).

(2) Volumes are reported as wet metric tonnes. Product is shipped with ~9% moisture.

Iron ore production increased by 9% to 15.6 million tonnes, reflecting a 29% increase at Minas-Rio and a 2% decrease at Kumba.

Kumba - Total production decreased to 9.3 million tonnes, primarily driven by a 9% decrease in Sishen's production to 6.4
million tonnes due to high levels of finished stock at the mine as a result of rail constraints. This was partially offset by a
22% increase at Kolomela to 2.9 million tonnes, owing to operational challenges in the comparative period in 2022.

Total sales decreased by 8% to 9.5 million tonnes(1) due to low levels of finished stock at the port given ongoing weak
logistics performance from Transnet, the third-party rail and port operator. As a result, total finished stock increased to 7.9 million
tonnes(1), with the majority of this located at the mines.

Kumba's iron (Fe) content averaged 63.3% (H1 2022: 64.0%), while the average lump:fines ratio was 67:33 (H1 2022: 66:34).

The H1 2023 average realised price of $106/tonne (1) (FOB South Africa, wet basis) was 4% higher than the 62% Fe
benchmark price of $102/tonne (FOB South Africa, adjusted for freight and moisture), as the lump and Fe content quality
premiums that the Kumba products attract more than offset the impact of provisionally priced sales volumes.

Minas-Rio - Production increased by 29% to 6.3 million tonnes, driven by strong mining and plant performance and
timing of maintenance. This has resulted in a number of performance records being achieved this quarter, reflecting the
operational improvement.

The H1 2023 average realised price of $104/tonne (FOB Brazil, wet basis) was higher than the Metal Bulletin 65(2) price of
$101/tonne (FOB Brazil, adjusted for freight and moisture), which takes into account the premium for our high quality
product, including higher (~67%) Fe content, which more than offset the impact of provisionally priced sales volumes.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance for 2023 is unchanged at 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 for 2023 is c.$39/tonne(3), revising Kumba to c.$43/tonne(3) (previously c.$44/tonne) reflecting the
weaker South African rand and Minas-Rio to c.$33/tonne(3) (previously c.$32/tonne) reflecting the stronger Brazilian real.

(1) Sales volumes, stock and realised price are reported on a wet basis and differ to Kumba's stand-alone results due to sales to other Group companies.
(2) Fastmarkets has ceased publication of the Metal Bulletin 66 index, therefore the benchmark price has been switched to Metal Bulletin 65.
(3) FX assumption of ~18 ZAR:USD for Kumba and ~4.8 BRL:USD for Minas-Rio (previously ~17 ZAR:USD and ~5.3 BRL:USD).

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

Steelmaking coal production increased by 28% to 3.4 million tonnes, as the open cut operations (Capcoal and Dawson)
were impacted by unseasonal wet weather in 2022.

Grosvenor undertook a longwall move in Q2 2023 and has now commenced the new longwall panel, with full ramp-up
expected towards the end of July. This was offset by higher production from Moranbah, which had a longwall move in Q2 2022.

The ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was 70:30, lower than Q2 2022 (81:19), reflecting
increased production from the open cut operations that produce higher volumes of PCI/semi-soft coal.

Average realised prices differ from the average market prices due to differences in material grade and timing of
shipments. The H1 2023 average realised price for hard coking coal was $280/tonne, compared to the benchmark price
of $294/tonne. The price realisation increased to 95% (H1 2022: 87%), driven by larger volumes of premium hard coking
coal being produced from the underground longwall operations and the impact of sales timing.

2023 Guidance

Production guidance for 2023 is unchanged at 16-19 million tonnes.
Unit cost guidance for 2023 is unchanged at c.$105/tonne(1).

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditure was largely unchanged at $90 million (Q2 2022: $87 million). Exploration
expenditure decreased by 17% to $35 million, mostly driven by lower iron ore activity. Evaluation expenditure increased
by 22% to $55 million, driven by higher spend in PGMs and diamonds.

Corporate and other activities

Charges recognised within EBITDA for the first six months of 2023 - at De Beers, an inventory adjustment, is currently
estimated to be $0.1 billion and at PGMs, a stock count adjustment and a net realisable value inventory write-down, is
currently estimated to be $0.2 billion.

The underlying effective tax rate for the first half of 2023 is estimated to be between 36-38%, primarily due to the mix of
earnings in the countries where we operate.

At the end of the first half of 2023, working capital cash outflows of between $0.6-0.8 billion are estimated, resulting in net
debt between $8.7-9.0 billion.

The above figures are subject to the external auditors concluding their review procedures of these results. The Group's
results announcement is scheduled for 27 July.

ESG summary factsheets on a range of topics are now available on our website.

Notes

- This Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2023 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.
In this document, references to "Anglo American", the "Anglo American Group", the "Group", "we", "us", and "our" are to
refer to either Anglo American plc and its subsidiaries and/or those who work for them generally, or where it is not
necessary to refer to a particular entity, entities or persons. The use of those generic terms herein is for convenience only,
and is in no way indicative of how the Anglo American Group or any entity within it is structured, managed or controlled.
Anglo American subsidiaries, and their management, are responsible for their own day-to-day operations, including but
not limited to securing and maintaining all relevant licences and permits, operational adaptation and implementation of
Group policies, management, training and any applicable local grievance mechanisms. Anglo American produces
Group-wide policies and procedures to ensure best uniform practices and standardisation across the Anglo American
Group but is not responsible for the day to day implementation of such policies. Such policies and procedures constitute

environmental, social and governance) goals, ambitions, targets, visions, milestones and aspirations, are forward-looking
statements. By their nature, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
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 purchases 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 or competing technology, 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.
