Anglo American and Mitsubishi Materials to collaborate on responsible copper value chain

Anglo American announces the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Mitsubishi Materials
Corporation (“Mitsubishi Materials”), to collaborate on the creation of a copper product offering that
responds to growing demand for metals with demonstrably strong provenance credentials.

The collaboration will focus on driving traceability across copper’s fragmented value chain, with the aim
of identifying and measuring sustainability indicators that industry stakeholders and end customers deem
most relevant and valuable. By using technology-driven traceability solutions, the two companies will
work together to provide such stakeholders with secure access to relevant product provenance
information.

Anglo American and Mitsubishi Materials will also explore decarbonisation opportunities to reduce the
overall carbon footprint of the metal provided to customers.

Paul Ward, Executive Head of Base Metals Marketing at Anglo American, said: “We are forging long-term
collaborations with customers across key geographies, building on well-established commercial
relationships to extend the impact of our commitment to create ethical value chains for our products
beyond our own mining operations.

“Consumers around the world are increasingly asking that their purchases come with greater assurance
of sustainable production. Our work with Mitsubishi Materials aims to accelerate efforts to increase
provenance visibility for materials used in some of the key technologies for modern life and to improve
living standards for a growing global population through sustainable socio-economic development.”

Nobuhiro Takayanagi, Managing Executive Officer Responsible for Sustainable Development at
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, said, “Our company has set out ‘Our Commitment’ of ‘For people,
society and the earth, circulating resources for a sustainable future.’ We will build a connected system of
metal resources based on our strengths and realize growth throughout the value chain by expanding the
scope, regions, and scale of our operations. Through cooperation with Anglo American, we will promote
efforts to ensure transparency of product information.”

Mitsubishi Materials is a global manufacturer of copper and other non-ferrous metal materials, cemented
carbide tools, and electronic components.

The Company has a primary listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and secondary
listings on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Botswana Stock Exchange, the Namibia Stock Exchange
and the SIX Swiss Exchange.
