Production Report for the third quarter ended 30 September 2022

Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: "Our performance stepped up 16%(1) quarter-on-quarter
amid a challenging operating environment, driven by the ongoing ramp-up of our Steelmaking Coal longwall operations
and continued strong performance at De Beers. Our new world-class copper mine in Peru, Quellaveco, continues to
ramp-up production with shipments to customers now under way. Production in the third quarter was broadly flat(1)
compared to the same period in 2021, as higher production from Quellaveco, Steelmaking Coal and De Beers was offset
primarily by expected lower copper ore grades in Chile and some operational challenges at our Kumba iron ore business.

"As we move through the final quarter, we are focused on maintaining this operational momentum to deliver our full year
guidance. The continued safe ramp-up of our steelmaking coal operations, as well as further performance improvements
at our iron ore businesses, are priorities to set the platform for delivery into next year. We do continue to feel the effects of
dislocations in the global economy on our business - in energy and across supply chains and labour markets - and are
planning accordingly for 2023, confident in the strategic position of our business.

"We continue to make important progress towards our holistic sustainability commitments. With renewable electricity
supply secured for all our South America operations, we have now formed our renewable energy partnership with EDF
Renewables in South Africa. Our new jointly owned company, Envusa Energy, is developing its first phase of more than
600 MW of wind and solar projects, a major step towards our vision of a 3-5 GW renewable energy ecosystem in the
region by 2030. The issuance of our first sustainability-linked bond, a first of its kind from a major diversified mining
company, re-affirms our commitment to our targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fresh water abstraction
and to support job creation in the communities where we operate."

Q3 2022 highlights

- Rough diamond production increased by 4%, principally reflecting the treatment of higher grade ore at Orapa
  (Botswana) as well as continued strong performance in Namibia.
- Steelmaking coal production increased by 28%, reflecting the ongoing ramp-up of the longwall operations. Continuing
  to do so in a safe and stable way is our first priority.
- Copper production decreased by 6%, due to planned lower grades at all our operations in Chile, as well as
  unfavourable ore characteristics at Los Bronces, partly offset by the first production of copper from Quellaveco in Peru.
- Metal in concentrate production from our Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) operations decreased by 6%, due to the
  impact of Eskom load-shedding (power outages) primarily in September, infrastructure closures at Amandelbult and
  lower grade at Mogalakwena.
- Iron ore production decreased by 5% primarily due to Kumba, which was impacted by the slow ramp-up after the
  safety intervention in the second quarter and Eskom load-shedding, primarily in September, while production at Minas-
  Rio was flat.
- Nickel production decreased by 4%, primarily due to lower grades.

Rough diamond production increased by 4% to 9.6 million carats, primarily due to the treatment of higher grade ore at
both Orapa (Botswana) and in South Africa, and continued strong performance in Namibia.

In Botswana, production increased by 4% to 6.6 million carats, primarily driven by treatment of higher grade ore at Orapa,
partly offset by processing lower grade ore at Jwaneng.

Namibia production increased by 33% to 0.5 million carats, primarily driven by continued strong performance from the
Benguela Gem vessel.

South Africa production increased by 5% to 1.7 million carats, driven by the treatment of higher grade ore and the benefit
of plant upgrades.

Production in Canada decreased by 7% to 0.7 million carats, due to the treatment of lower grade ore and the impact of
tight labour markets.

Demand for rough diamonds remained steady, with rough diamond sales totalling 9.1 million carats (8.5 million carats on
a consolidated basis)(2) from three Sights, compared with 7.8 million carats (7.0 million carats on a consolidated basis)(2)
from two Sights in Q3 2021 and 9.4 million carats (8.3 million carats on a consolidated basis)(2) from three Sights in Q2 2022.
While consumer demand for natural diamonds continues to be robust, a deterioration of global economic
conditions, reduced consumer spending and continued Chinese Covid-19 lockdowns have the potential to impact
demand for diamond jewellery.

2022 Guidance

Production guidance(1) for 2022 is unchanged at 32-34 million carats (100% basis), subject to trading conditions and the
extent of further Covid-19 related disruptions.

In line with normal seasonal trends, we anticipate that sales in the final quarter of the year will be affected by the normal
temporary closure of cutting and polishing factories for the religious holidays in India.

Unit cost guidance for 2022 is unchanged at c.$65/ct.

(1) De Beers Group production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kue joint venture 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).

(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 decreased by 6% to 147,000 tonnes, primarily due to a decrease of 19% in Chile, partly offset by the
first production of copper in concentrate from Quellaveco in Peru.

Chile - Copper production decreased by 19% to 126,500 tonnes due to planned lower grades at all operations, and
unfavourable ore characteristics and unplanned stoppages at Los Bronces.

Production from Los Bronces decreased by 29% to 56,900 tonnes, primarily due to lower ore processed as a result of the
impact of increased ore hardness and unplanned stoppages, as well as planned lower grades (0.58% vs 0.70%).

At Collahuasi, attributable production decreased by 8% to 60,400 tonnes driven by planned lower grades (1.08% vs 1.28%).

Production from El Soldado decreased by 21% to 9,200 tonnes due to planned lower grades (0.59% vs 0.73%).

Chile´s central zone continues to face severe drought conditions, with the last two years up to June 2022 being the driest
years since records began. While the rain and snowfall deficit decreased during the third quarter, the outlook remains
very dry and these conditions place pressure on water availability in 2023. In the short term, various management
initiatives to improve water efficiency and secure alternative sources of water continue to partly mitigate the impact on
production.

The average realised price of 377 c/lb, includes 135,000 tonnes of copper provisionally priced on 30 September at an
average of 346 c/lb.

Peru - First production of copper in concentrate from the Quellaveco mine was on 12 July 2022, with 20,300 tonnes
successfully produced by the end of the third quarter. On 26 September 2022, we announced the start of commercial
operations following receipt of final regulatory clearance, with sales commencing in the subsequent days. Quellaveco is
expected to ramp-up fully over the next 9-12 months.

5,100 tonnes of copper from Quellaveco were provisionally priced on 30 September at an average realised price of 341c/lb.

2022 Guidance

Production guidance for 2022 is unchanged at 640,000-680,000 tonnes (Chile 560,000-580,000 tonnes; Peru 80,000-
100,000 tonnes). Production is subject to the extent of further Covid-19 related disruptions and, in Peru, progress on
ramp-up of operations.

Unit cost guidance for 2022 is unchanged at c.159c/lb (Chile c.160c/lb; Peru c.150c/lb).

Nickel production decreased by 4% to 10,000 tonnes, primarily due to planned lower ore grades, partly offset by the
deferral of planned annual maintenance to the fourth quarter of 2022.
The year to date average realised price for nickel of $10.68/lb was 9% lower than the market price, primarily reflecting
the ferronickel discount to LME grade nickel.

2022 Guidance

Production for 2022 is expected to be towards the lower end of the guidance range of 40,000-42,000 tonnes, subject to
the extent of further Covid-19 related disruptions and weather related impacts.

Unit cost guidance for 2022 is unchanged at c.495c/lb.

Metal in concentrate production

Own mined production decreased by 5% to 683,200 ounces, due to Eskom load-shedding (power outages) primarily in
September, infrastructure closures at Amandelbult during Q4 2021 and lower grade at Mogalakwena, partially offset by
strong performances at Unki and Mototolo.

Production at Amandelbult decreased by 12% to 192,600, primarily due to infrastructure closures during Q4 2021 as well
as the impact of Eskom load-shedding. Mogalakwena production decreased by 6% to 259,300 ounces as a result of
mining in a lower grade area. Joint operations decreased by 16% to 96,000 ounces due to areas of Kroondal coming to
the end of life and the impact of Eskom load-shedding, as well as planned lower grade at Modikwa. These were partially
offset by a 41% increase in production at Unki to 59,900 ounces, following the debottlenecking project at the
concentrator, completed in Q4 2021. Production at Mototolo increased by 9%, reflecting the benefit of higher grade.

Purchase of concentrate was 8% lower at 362,900 ounces, due to the lower production from joint operations as well as
lower third party receipts.

Refined production

Refined production decreased by 30% to 994,800 ounces, as the Polokwane smelter was decommissioned for its first full
structural rebuild in twelve years. The rebuild is expected to be completed towards the end of Q4 2022. Eskom load-
shedding also impacted the smelters, leading to an inventory build-up of 40,400 ounces.
Sales

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

The year to date average realised basket price of $2,627/PGM ounce reflects lower market prices, partially offset by a
more normal sales mix compared with the same period in 2021, which had elevated sales volumes of lower priced
ruthenium.

2022 Guidance

Production guidance (metal in concentrate) for 2022 is unchanged at 3.9-4.3 million ounces(1). Refined production
guidance for 2022 is unchanged at 3.7-3.9 million ounces, subject to the impact of Eskom load-shedding. Both are
subject to the extent of further Covid-19 related disruption.

Unit cost guidance for 2022 is unchanged at c.$950/PGM ounce.

(1) Metal in concentrate production is expected to be 1.8-2.0 million ounces of platinum, 1.2-1.3 million ounces of palladium and 0.9-1.0 million
    ounces of other PGMs and gold. With own-mined output accounting for ~65%.

Iron ore production decreased by 5% to 16.1 million tonnes, due to an 8% decrease at Kumba, while production at Minas-
Rio was flat.

Kumba - Total production decreased by 8% to 10.0 million tonnes, primarily driven by a decrease at Sishen of 6% to 7.1
million tonnes due to Eskom load-shedding (power outages), which had a 0.3 million tonne impact, and plant reliability.
Kolomela's production decreased by 11% to 2.9 million tonnes, due to the slow ramp-up following the safety intervention
in the second quarter.

Total sales were flat at 10.0 million tonnes(1), due to poor rail performance, offset by a drawdown of finished stock at the
Saldanha port. This has resulted in low finished stock levels at the port.

Kumba's iron (Fe) content averaged 63.9% (YTD 2021: 64.1%), while the average lump:fines ratio was 66:34 (YTD 2021: 69:31).

The year to date average realised price of $115/tonne(1) (FOB South Africa, wet basis), was 8% higher than the 62% Fe
benchmark price of $106/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 timing on provisionally priced sales volumes, as our
products are generally priced in the month after arrival (M+2).

Minas-Rio - Production was flat at 6.1 million tonnes.

The year to date average realised price of $114/tonne (FOB Brazil, wet basis) was lower than the Metal Bulletin 66 price
of $117/tonne (FOB Brazil, adjusted for freight and moisture), primarily due to timing on provisionally priced sales
volumes (our products are generally priced in the month after arrival (M+2)), which more than offset the premiums for our
high quality product, including higher (~67%) Fe content.

2022 Guidance

Production (wet basis) for 2022 is expected to be towards the lower end of the guidance range, which is unchanged at
60-64 million tonnes. Production for Kumba is expected to be towards the lower end of the 38-40 million tonnes
guidance range. Production guidance for Minas-Rio is also expected to be towards the lower end of the 22-24 million
tonnes guidance range. Both are subject to the extent of further Covid-19 related disruption and weather related
impacts, and Kumba is subject to third party rail and port performance, as well as the impact of Eskom load-shedding.

Unit cost guidance (wet basis) for 2022 is unchanged at c.$40/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.

All three underground longwall operations (Moranbah, Grosvenor and Aquila) were operating in Q3 2022 with the focus
on safety and increasing longwall performance through stability; however, Covid-19 related absenteeism, tight labour
markets and unseasonal wet weather at the open pits, continue to impact production.

Steelmaking coal production increased by 28% to 5.5 million tonnes, primarily due to the ramp-up of the Grosvenor
longwall operation following its restart in February 2022 and the new Aquila longwall operation which began operations
in February 2022. Aquila's production was more than offset by the planned end of production at the Grasstree operation
in January 2022.

The ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was 83:17, in line with Q3 2021 (83:17).

The year to date average realised price for hard coking coal was $324/tonne, which was lower than the benchmark price
of $393/tonne. The price realisation was broadly flat at 82% (YTD 2021: 84%) as the contribution of premium hard
coking coal from the Grosvenor operation was offset by the end of production at Grasstree.

2022 Guidance

Production for 2022 is expected to be towards the lower end of the guidance range of 15-17 million tonnes, subject to
the extent of further unseasonal wet weather, continued tight labour markets and Covid-19 related disruptions.

Unit cost guidance for 2022 is unchanged at c.$110/tonne.

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditure increased by 21% to $87 million. Exploration expenditure increased by 8% to $40
million, principally in platinum group metals and base metals, generally reflecting increased access following the
recovery from previous Covid-19 disruptions. Evaluation expenditure increased by 34% to $47 million, driven by higher
spend in base metals and iron ore.

Corporate and other activities

Due to the previously announced delay in the Polokwane smelter rebuild at PGMs, which impacts refined production,
there will be a build-up in work-in-progress inventory.

Working capital will also increase at Quellaveco (Copper Peru) reflecting the ongoing ramp-up.

Notes

- This Production Report for the quarter ended 30 September 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.

This announcement includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts
included in this announcement, including, without limitation, those regarding Anglo American's financial position,
business, acquisition and divestment strategy, dividend policy, plans and objectives of management for future
operations, prospects and projects (including development plans and objectives relating to Anglo American's products,
production forecasts and Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource positions) and sustainability performance related (including
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, 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, 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, political
uncertainty, tensions and disputes and economic conditions in relevant areas of the world, evolving societal and
stakeholder requirements and expectations, shortages of skilled employees, 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.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this announcement. Anglo American expressly disclaims
