Anglo American announces that its Quellaveco copper mine in Peru and its three managed copper operations in Chile - the Los Bronces and El Soldado mines and Chagres smelter - have been awarded The Copper Mark following independent assessments against the Copper Mark criteria for responsible copper production.

These achievements mark the first award of The Copper Mark and The Molybdenum Mark for Quellaveco, while The Copper Mark awards were reaffirmed for the Los Bronces, El Soldado and Chagres operations in Chile, in addition to The Molybdenum Mark for Los Bronces, following their initial awards in 2022. Both Quellaveco and Los Bronces produce molybdenum as a by-product of their primary copper operations. In addition, all four sites have achieved their first Copper Mark Chain of Custody award, demonstrating their commitment to responsible sourcing and supply chain traceability.

Tony Power, CEO of Anglo American in Peru, said: "Our efforts to assess our value chain against independent third-party standards are an important point of both differentiation and confidence in the responsible production of our product for customers, end-users and other stakeholders. Quellaveco is a blueprint for responsible mining and I am delighted that we have received this important accolade in recognition of everything that we do to ensure we live up to our stakeholders' expectations in the responsible production of copper, a key metal for the energy transition and maturing economies globally."

Tzveta Tchorbadjieva, Interim CEO of Anglo American in Chile, said: "The reaffirmation of The Copper Mark achievement for our Los Bronces, El Soldado and Chagres operations reflects the sustained work of our teams to operate in accordance with the highest international standards, integrating sustainability into our decision-making. The Copper Mark not only recognises our performance but also strengthens trust with communities, regulators and investors, and supports our wider role in the responsible production of copper."

Michèle Brülhart, Executive Director of the Copper Mark said: "Congratulations to Quellaveco on successfully completing its first assurance cycle and earning these awards. It's important to highlight that Quellaveco represents Anglo American's fourth awarded site, alongside the Los Bronces, El Soldado, and Chagres operations in Chile. We look forward to deepening our relationship with companies like Anglo American that want to achieve assured responsible production."

The on-site process of assessing Quellaveco and reassessing Los Bronces, El Soldado and Chagres through the Copper Mark's Assurance Process began in October 2025. The sites were assessed against 33 performance areas, including environmental risk management, energy consumption, waste and tailings management, mine closure and reclamation, occupational health and safety, business integrity, community and stakeholder engagement, human rights and cultural heritage.

The Copper Mark is the leading assurance framework to promote responsible practices across the copper, molybdenum, nickel and zinc value chains. The organisation works with companies and organisations throughout these metals' value chains to enable them to better understand and meet the increasing demands for independently verified responsible practices, and to contribute positively to sustainable development.

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 product 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 ability to identify, consummate and integrate pending or potential acquisitions, disposals, investments, mergers, demergers, syndications, joint ventures or other transactions, 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.
