NEWS RELEASE
Baar, 30 October 2023
Third Quarter 2023 Production Report
Glencore Chief Executive Officer, Gary Nagle:
“We are pleased to report a solid production performance from our underlying base business over the first nine months of the
year, where our key copper, coal and zinc assets performed in line with expectations and previously communicated guidance.
“Full year 2023 production guidance for copper, zinc, coal and cobalt remains in line with previous guidance, however nickel has
been reduced to reflect, within the INO business, maintenance outages at the Sudbury smelter and a longer than expected
recovery from 2022 strike action, together with a lower full-year revision for Koniambo. Ferrochrome production has also been
marked lower, due to additional smelter off-line days on account of electricity pricing and load curtailments in South Africa,
however chrome ore mining production is expected to only be modestly below 2022 levels.
“In our Marketing segment, we continue to expect a full year 2023 Adjusted EBIT outcome above the top end of our $2.2-3.2
billion p.a. long-term guidance range, with a likely outcome within the previously communicated $3.5-4.0 billion range.”

Production highlights
• Own sourced copper production of 735,800 tonnes was 34,700 tonnes (5%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting
the sale of Cobar in June 2023 and lower copper by-product production outside the Copper department.
• Own sourced cobalt production of 32,500 tonnes was in line with the comparable 2022 period.
• Own sourced zinc production of 672,100 tonnes was 27,500 tonnes (4%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, mainly reflecting
the 2022 disposals of South American zinc operations (23,600 tonnes) and the closure of Matagami (17,300 tonnes), offset by
stronger production from Kazzinc (Zhairem) and Antamina.
• Own sourced nickel production of 68,400 tonnes was 13,200 tonnes (16%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, primarily
reflecting higher INO third party production (versus own sourced), in large part necessitated by the strike at Raglan mine in 2022.
• Attributable ferrochrome production of 873,000 tonnes was 237,000 tonnes (21%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, mainly
due to planned additional smelter offline days during the 3-month high electricity demand winter season, a period of elevated
power prices.
• Coal production of 83.9 million tonnes was broadly in line with the comparable 2022 period.

Changes in guidance mainly reflect:
• Nickel down 10kt (9%) – combination of a longer than expected recovery period following the extended Raglan strike action in
2022, maintenance outages at the Sudbury smelter and a lower full-year revision for Koniambo
• Ferrochrome down 110kt (8%) - lower production in H2 2023, reflecting additional smelter offline days and further curtailments in
response to ferrochrome market conditions. Full year chrome ore production is expected to only be modestly below 2022 levels.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
Copper assets
Own sourced copper production of 735,800 tonnes was 34,700 tonnes (5%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting the
sale of Cobar in June 2023 and lower copper by-product production outside the Copper department.
Own sourced cobalt production of 32,500 tonnes was in line with the comparable 2022 period.
African Copper
Own sourced copper production of 189,100 tonnes was 14,200 tonnes (8%) higher than the comparable 2022 period, mainly
reflecting successful management of geotechnical issues at Katanga resulting in increased production volumes and higher milling
throughput at Mutanda.
Own sourced cobalt production of 30,800 tonnes was in line with the comparable 2022 period, reflecting improved cobalt recoveries
at Katanga, offset by lower grades, due to feed plan adjustments, at Mutanda.
Collahuasi
Attributable copper production of 180,500 tonnes was 7,700 tonnes (4%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting the
known and planned mining sequence in 2023. Attributable production in Q3 2023 was 8,800 tonnes (15%) higher than Q2 2023,
reflecting the increased expected head grades and production volumes in H2 2023.
Antamina
Aligned with planned mining sequencing, attributable copper production of 102,800 tonnes was 13,300 tonnes (11%) lower than the
comparable 2022 period, while zinc production of 119,200 tonnes was 7,400 tonnes (7%) higher.
Other South America
Copper production of 161,800 tonnes was in line with the comparable 2022 period, reflecting higher copper grades and recoveries at
Antapaccay (8,000 tonnes), partially offset by anticipated delayed metal deliveries to the leach pads (7,900 tonnes) at Lomas Bayas,
expected to be recovered in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024.
Cobar
Cobar (Australian copper) mine was sold on 16 June 2023.
Copper custom metallurgical assets
Overall copper anode production of 348,100 tonnes was in line with the comparable 2022 period.
Copper cathode production of 377,100 tonnes was 50,900 tonnes (16%) higher than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting increased
anode deliveries from Horne and Pasar.
Zinc assets
Own sourced zinc production of 672,100 tonnes was 27,500 tonnes (4%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, mainly reflecting
the 2022 disposals of South American zinc operations (23,600 tonnes) and the closure of Matagami (17,300 tonnes), offset by stronger
production from Kazzinc (Zhairem) and Antamina.
Kazzinc
Own sourced zinc production of 119,400 tonnes was 9,600 tonnes (9%) higher than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting Zhairem’s
ramp-up, partly offset by delayed processing of own-sourced material at Kazzinc’s smelters, in favour of third-party material.
Own sourced lead production of 24,800 tonnes was 11,700 tonnes (89%) higher than the comparable 2022 period, due to Zhairem’s
ramp up.
Own sourced copper production of 9,400 tonnes was 6,800 (42%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, due to lower copper
grades at the Maleevsky mine, together with furnace downtime at the copper smelter.
Own sourced gold production of 435,000 ounces was 3% higher than the comparable 2022 period.
Australia
Zinc production of 402,500 tonnes was substantially in line with the comparable 2022 period, having now largely recovered from the
Q1 impact of severe weather.
Lead production of 108,800 tonnes was 8,000 tonnes (7%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, mainly due to planned reduction
in ore grade at Lady Loretta mine (Mount Isa).
Copper production of 51,200 tonnes was 3,800 tonnes (8%) higher than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting partial recovery from
Covid-related absenteeism and operational challenges in the base period.
North America
Zinc production of 31,000 tonnes was 17,100 tonnes (36%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, mainly reflecting the closure of
Matagami mine in mid-2022. Kidd production was in line with the comparable 2022 period.

South America
Following disposal of the Bolivian mines at the end of H1 2022 and Los Quenuales in December 2022, no operating assets remain in
this grouping.
Zinc custom metallurgical assets
Zinc metal production of 545,800 tonnes was 3% higher than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting additional production from
CEZ, consolidated from April 2023, following Glencore’s increase in ownership from 25% to 100%, offset by the suspension of
Nordenham in H2 2022, on account of high European power prices.
Lead metal production of 184,600 tonnes was 31,500 tonnes (15%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, primarily reflecting lower
bullion received at Northfleet from Mount Isa and Portovesme’s partial care and maintenance.
Nickel assets
Own sourced nickel production of 68,400 tonnes was 13,200 tonnes (16%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, primarily
reflecting higher INO third party production (versus own sourced), in large part necessitated by the strike at Raglan mine in 2022.
Integrated Nickel Operations (INO)
Own sourced nickel production of 25,500 tonnes was 11,100 tonnes (30%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, whereby the strike
at Raglan in 2022 has impacted 2023 nickel production, given the long lead time from ore mining in Northern Quebec to finished
nickel production in Norway, and maintenance outages impacted the Sudbury smelter. Total refinery production of 71,100 tonnes
was 12,600 tonnes (22%) higher than the comparable 2022 period.
Murrin Murrin
Own sourced nickel production of 23,100 tonnes was 3,500 tonnes (13%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, primarily due to a
longer than scheduled major maintenance and the phasing of subsequent ramp-up.
Koniambo
Nickel production of 19,800 tonnes was 1,400 tonnes (8%) higher than the comparable 2022 period, reflecting furnace modifications
made during Q1’s planned maintenance, and a more consistent operating performance.
Ferroalloys assets
Attributable ferrochrome production of 873,000 tonnes was 237,000 tonnes (21%) lower than the comparable 2022 period, mainly
due to planned additional smelter offline days during the 3-month high electricity demand winter season, a period of elevated
power prices.
