Correction to Notification issued 23 September 2003


The following replaces an announcement issued yesterday 23 September 2003 at
12:29 under RNS No.0654Q. Due to an error by E Oppenheimer & Son (UK) Limited in
their notification to the Company, the call options described below were stated
to have been sold by CHL Investments, whereas in fact they were sold by E
Oppenheimer & Son Holdings Limited. The announcement should therefore have been
as follows:
     
1    "On the 22 September 2003 the Company was notified by representatives of 
     Mr N.F. Oppenheimer, a director of the Company, that on 19 September 2003, 
     E Oppenheimer & Son Holdings Limited sold call options maturing on 17 
     December, 2004 and exercisable at any time up to or on that date, over 5
     million Ordinary Shares of Anglo American plc with a strike price of 
     £14.25.
     
2.   E Oppenheimer & Son Holdings Limited is ultimately controlled by trustees 
     of trusts of which Mr N.F. Oppenheimer is a potential discretionary
     beneficiary. Mr N.F. Oppenheimer is therefore treated as having an interest 
     in the transaction."
