Production Report for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2018

Anglo American reports a 7% increase in total production on a copper equivalent basis for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, excluding the effect of the stoppage at Minas-Rio⁽¹⁾.

Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: "Our continuing focus on efficiency and productivity improvements across the business resulted in another strong quarter, adding to our consistent track record of delivery. Solid operational performance resulted in a 23% increase in production from our Copper business, more than offsetting the impact of infrastructure constraints at Kumba. We ended this successful quarter with the restart of operations at Minas-Rio and receipt of a key approval relating to the important Step 3 licence area that supports its increase in production towards design capacity."

Highlights

· De Beers production increased by 12% to 9.1 million carats due to production increases at Orapa.

· Copper production increased by 23% to 183,500 tonnes, with increases at all operations, reflecting continued strong operational performance and planned higher grades.

· Platinum and palladium production both increased by 3% to 602,300 ounces and 386,600 ounces respectively, driven by an improved operational performance across the majority of the portfolio.

· Kumba's iron ore production decreased by 13% to 10.2 million tonnes due to infrastructure constraints.

· Metallurgical coal production increased by 15% to 5.6 million tonnes driven by productivity improvements at Moranbah and the continued Grosvenor ramp up.

· Thermal coal export production decreased by 9% to 6.9 million tonnes due to the impact of rain at Cerrejón.

· Minas-Rio restarted operations at the end of the quarter and also received a key approval relating to the important Step 3 licence area.

Rough diamond production increased by 12% to 9.1 million carats bringing total production for 2018 to 35.3 million carats due to a planned production increase at Orapa⁽²⁾ mine, although this was in the lower half of the production guidance range of 35-36 million carats.

Botswana (Debswana) production increased by 15% to 6.3 million carats. Orapa⁽²⁾ production increased by 20% to 3.6 million carats driven by planned favourable grade and higher plant utilisation. Jwaneng production increased by 9% following an increase in tonnes treated.

Namibia (Namdeb Holdings) production increased by 3% to 0.5 million carats, driven by the Mafuta crawler vessel at Debmarine Namibia spending fewer days in port. This was partly offset by the land operations following the transition of Elizabeth Bay to care and maintenance.

South Africa (DBCM) production increased by 7% to 1.2 million carats as a result of planned higher grade ore at Venetia.

Canada production increased by 5% to 1.0 million carats due to higher grades at Victor as it reaches the end of its life. This was partially offset by planned lower grades at Gahcho Kué.

Rough diamond sales volumes totalled 9.9 million carats (9.3 million carats on a consolidated basis⁽³⁾) from three sales cycles, compared with 8.2 million carats (7.5 million carats on a consolidated basis⁽³⁾) from the same number of sales cycles during the equivalent period in 2017. Fourth quarter rough sales revenues increased year on year as the re-phased allocations of some lower value rough diamonds from Sight 7 (in September) were realised in Sights 9 and 10.

For the full year, rough diamond sales volumes were 4% lower at 33.7 million carats (31.7 million carats on a consolidated basis⁽³⁾) compared with 35.1 million carats (33.1 million carats on a consolidated basis⁽³⁾) in 2017. 2018 sales volumes were also lower than production, driven by lower demand for lower value rough diamonds in the second half of 2018.

The consolidated average realised price of $171/ct was 6% higher (2017: $162/ct), due to a lower proportion of lower value rough diamonds sold in 2018.

2019 Guidance

2019 production guidance is 31-33 million carats, subject to trading conditions. The lower production is driven by the process of exiting from the Venetia open pit with the underground becoming the principal source of ore from 2023. Associated with this, an increased proportion of production in 2019 is expected to come from De Beers Group's joint venture partners, a proportion of which generates a trading margin, which is lower than the mining margin generated from own mined production.

(1) De Beers Group production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kué joint venture which is on an attributable 51% basis.

(2) Orapa constitutes the Orapa Regime which includes Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa.

(3) Consolidated sales volumes exclude De Beers Group's JV partners' 50% proportionate share of sales to entities outside De Beers Group from Diamond Trading Company Botswana and the Namibia Diamond Trading Company, which are included in total sales volume (100% basis). 2017 includes pre-commercial production sales volumes from Gahcho Kué.

(1) Copper production shown on a contained metal basis. Reflects copper production from the Copper business unit only (excludes copper production from the Platinum Group Metals business unit).

Copper production increased by 23% to 183,500 tonnes, the highest since Q4 2013, with production increases at all operations and record copper in concentrate production at Collahuasi.

Production from Los Bronces increased by 31% to 99,000 tonnes, driven by continued strong mine and plant performance and planned higher grades (0.81% vs. 0.76%).

At Collahuasi, attributable production increased by 9% to 69,200 tonnes reflecting higher copper recoveries driven by the successful installation of 24 additional flotation cells in Q3.

El Soldado production increased by 58% to 15,300 tonnes due to a combination of strong mine and plant performance and planned higher grades (0.94% vs 0.65%).

Full year sales volumes were 671,600 tonnes, at an average price of 283c/lb ($6,239/t), lower than the average LME price of 296c/lb ($6,526/t) due to the impact of provisional pricing.

2019 Guidance

2019 production guidance is 630,000-660,000 tonnes.

(1) Ounces refer to troy ounces.

(2) Includes managed operations and 50% of joint venture production.

(3) Includes 50% of joint venture production, and the purchase of concentrate from associates (Bokoni and BRPM) and third parties.

Platinum production increased by 3% to 602,300 ounces and palladium production increased by 3% to 386,600 ounces, due to improved operational performances across the majority of the portfolio.

Own mined production

Own mined platinum production decreased by 12% to 307,500 ounces and palladium production decreased by 7% to 234,800 ounces due to the sale of Union mine on 1 February 2018, after which its production was purchased as concentrate. Excluding Union, platinum production from own mine operations decreased by 2% and palladium production remained flat.

Mogalakwena platinum production decreased by 11% to 108,400 ounces and palladium production decreased by 8% to 118,200 ounces due to an 8% reduction in ore grade, as previously guided, as well as maintenance at one crusher, which led to a reduction in tonnes milled.

Amandelbult platinum and palladium production both decreased by 16% to 96,500 ounces and 44,900 ounces, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to the section 54 stoppage following the fatal incident on 18 October 2018 and Eskom power disruptions.

Unki platinum production increased by 34% to 22,000 ounces and palladium production increased by 38% to 19,600 ounces due to a strong operational performance with a 20% increase in tonnes milled, 10% improvement in recovery and 3% improvement in built-up head grade.

The acquisition of the remaining 50% of Mototolo was concluded on 1 November 2018, from which date 100% of its production became own mined production, contributing 17,500 platinum ounces and 10,900 palladium ounces.

Joint venture platinum production (Mototolo to 31 October 2018, Modikwa and Kroondal) increased by 6% to 126,200 ounces (of which 63,100 ounces was own mined production and 63,100 ounces was purchased concentrate). Palladium production increased by 6% to 82,400 ounces (of which 41,200 ounces was own mined production and 41,200 ounces was purchased concentrate). This was driven by productivity improvements, improved plant recoveries and an increase in grades.

Purchase of concentrate

Purchase of concentrate from joint ventures increased by 6% for platinum and 6% for palladium due to increased production, as outlined above.

Purchase of concentrate from associates decreased by 14% for platinum and 13% for palladium. The sale of Anglo American Platinum's share in Bafokeng-Rasimone Platinum Mine (BRPM) completed on 11 December 2018 and production was treated as third party purchase of concentrate from 1 December 2018.

Purchase of concentrate from third parties increased by 51% for platinum and 46% for palladium due to concentrate purchased from Union mine following its sale, as well as from BRPM material following its sale on 11 December 2018.

Refined production and sales volumes

Refined platinum production increased by 7% to 770,900 ounces, while palladium production was flat at 493,800 ounces. Q4 2018 includes the partial release of the work-in-progress inventory following scheduled smelter rebuilds and maintenance at both Mortimer smelter and Polokwane smelters earlier in 2018.

Platinum sales volumes (excluding refined metal purchased from third parties) increased by 8% to 776,900 ounces due to higher refined production, supplemented by a draw down in refined platinum stocks. Palladium sales volumes decreased by 4% to 455,300 ounces.

The full year price per platinum ounce for the basket of metals sold increased by 13% to $2,219/oz compared to 2017, as 17% and 101% price increases in palladium and rhodium respectively more than offset an 8% reduction in the platinum price.

2019 Guidance

2019 platinum production guidance is revised to 2.0-2.1 million ounces (previously 2.0-2.2 million ounces) and palladium production guidance remains at 1.3-1.4 million ounces, decreases compared to 2018 due to the transition of Sibanye material to a tolling arrangement in place of its purchase as concentrate.

Kumba - Production volumes for the quarter decreased by 13% to 10.2 million tonnes as planned to offset elevated stock levels at the mines resulting from Transnet rail constraints. Plant yields remained slightly lower, in line with the strategy of producing higher quality products, to maximise the value of tonnes railed to port and to benefit from the strong demand for high-grade ore. As a result, full year production of 43.1 million tonnes was at the lower end of the guidance range.

Sishen's production decreased by 11% to 7.0 million tonnes, while waste stripping increased by 19% to 51 million tonnes.

Kolomela's production decreased by 17% to 3.2 million tonnes of ore, while waste remained flat at 14 million tonnes.

Export sales decreased by 6% to 10.7 million tonnes due to reduced loading capacity following the scheduled six-week refurbishment of a ship loader by Transnet at Saldanha Port, as well as the temporary closure of the export rail line due to a truck colliding with a railway bridge. Total finished product stocks decreased from 6.6 million tonnes at 30 September 2018 to 5.3 million tonnes at 31 December 2018.

In fourth quarter and full year 2018 the ratio of lump:fines in Kumba product was approximately 68:32.

Minas-Rio - Production was 0.2 million tonnes in Q4 2018 following the resumption of operations after the receipt of the appropriate regulatory approvals on 20 December 2018, following an extensive and detailed technical inspection and the precautionary replacement of certain sections of the pipeline. Production had been suspended since March 2018 following the discovery of two leakages in the 529-kilometre iron ore pipeline from the mine to the Port of Açu.

2019 Guidance

2019 production guidance for Kumba is 43-44 million tonnes.

2019 production guidance for Minas-Rio is 18-20 million tonnes (wet basis).

A key regulatory approval relating to the Minas-Rio Step 3 licence area was granted on 21 December 2018, providing greater operational flexibility and access to higher grade iron ore to support the increase of production towards the full design capacity of 26.5 million tonnes per year. As a result, 2019 production guidance for Minas-Rio was increased to 18-20 million tonnes (previously 16-19 million tonnes). In addition, 2019 unit cost guidance was reduced to $28-31 per tonne (previously $30-33 per tonne).

Metallurgical Coal - Export metallurgical coal production increased by 15% to 5.6 million tonnes, with productivity improvements at Moranbah offsetting the impact of a longwall move at Grasstree, which started in December 2018. Grosvenor production also increased year-on-year, but was significantly lower than in Q3 2018 due to a longwall move, which was completed in late December 2018.

In the fourth quarter and in the full year 2018, the ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was approximately 86:14.

Thermal Coal South Africa - Export thermal coal production decreased marginally by 2% to 4.5 million tonnes, as operations continue to transition between mining areas.

Domestic thermal coal production decreased by 54% to 3.3 million tonnes due to the completion of the sale of the Eskom-tied operations (New Vaal, New Denmark and Kriel) to Seriti on 1 March 2018.

Thermal Coal Colombia - Attributable export thermal coal production from Cerrejón decreased by 19% to 2.4 million tonnes as a result of high rainfall in Q4 2018.

The weighted average realised price for export thermal coal from South Africa and Colombia was $86/tonne, 8% lower than the weighted average quoted FOB price for South Africa and Colombia due to coal quality.

2019 Guidance

2019 production guidance for Metallurgical Coal is 22-24 million tonnes.

2019 production guidance for Export Thermal Coal is 26-28 million tonnes.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION

Exploration and Evaluation expenditure for the fourth quarter increased by 19% to $80 million compared to the same period of 2017. Exploration expenditure decreased by 6% to $29 million largely driven by adverse weather and delays with access. Evaluation expenditure increased by 42% to $51 million largely due to increased works in Chile at the Los Bronces Underground Project as well as modest increases in PGMs, De Beers and Metallurgical Coal.

Exploration and Evaluation expenditure for the full year 2018 was $284 million, up 25% on 2017 due mainly to increased evaluation spend for the Los Bronces Underground, as well as in De Beers and Metallurgical coal.

CORPORATE ACTIVITY AND OTHER ITEMS

During the quarter, provision increases, including future rehabilitation and closure costs principally at Copper and De Beers, resulted in a negative non-cash impact on EBITDA of approximately $0.2bn.

A sell down of lower margin goods from stock has slightly reduced the inventory build-up disclosed previously, the balance of which is expected to be largely cleared in the first half of 2019.

NOTES

· This Production Report for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2018 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 commodity's volume as revenue, subsequently converting the revenue into copper equivalent units by dividing by the copper price (per tonne). Long-term forecast prices (and foreign exchange rates where appropriate) 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 (including development plans and objectives relating to Anglo American's products, production forecasts and Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources), 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 development capabilities, recovery rates and other operational capabilities, the availability of mining and processing equipment, the ability to produce and transport products profitably, the availability of transportation infrastructure, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, the availability of sufficient credit, the effects of inflation, political uncertainty and economic conditions in relevant areas of the world, the actions of competitors, activities by governmental authorities such as permitting 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 any obligation or undertaking (except as required by applicable law, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover Code"), the UK Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the Listings Requirements of the securities exchange of the JSE Limited in South Africa, the SIX Swiss Exchange, the Botswana Stock Exchange and the Namibian Stock Exchange and any other applicable regulations) to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Anglo American's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
