Anglo American plc
Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2026
Duncan Wanblad, CEO of Anglo American, said: "We have delivered another strong quarter across both Copper and Premium Iron Ore, with performance tracking well to plan. In Copper, both Collahuasi and Quellaveco increased production from the first quarter, while the restart of the second plant at Los Bronces continues to provide incremental profitable production. In Premium Iron Ore, Kumba and Minas-Rio maintained stable operational performances. As the conflict in the Middle East continues to cause global market volatility, we are beginning to see some inflationary pressures primarily through higher fuel and other mining consumables. Our supply chain is actively managing these input costs and we have benefited from strong by-product credits in Copper in the first half of the year. This and strong cost control has driven a reduction in our unit cost guidance for Copper Chile to c.210 c/lb (previously c.230 c/lb) and Copper Peru to c.65 c/lb (previously c.100 c/lb).
"Our portfolio optimisation gained further momentum during the quarter. In May we announced an agreement to sell our Steelmaking Coal business in Australia to Dhilmar for up to $3.875 billion in cash, with completion expected by the first quarter of 2027. We are also progressing the sale process for De Beers, while concurrently advancing streamlining opportunities to improve cost performance and reduce capital expenditure to minimise the impact from challenging diamond markets. For the agreed sale of our Nickel business, we are continuing to work through the European Commission's anti-trust approval process.
"Our merger with Teck is on track to form a copper-focused global metals and minerals champion, with the expected completion window of September 2026 to March 2027 unchanged. We continue to progress towards completion, with anti-trust approval from China the final outstanding regulatory milestone. While both companies will operate entirely separately until completion, integration planning is well advanced, focused on ensuring that once the transaction closes we will be well positioned to begin the work to realise the material value and synergies we have identified from Anglo Teck."

• Copper production was flat at 173,200 tonnes, primarily due to higher throughput at Los Bronces, offset by processing lower-grade stockpile ore at Collahuasi and the anticipated lower grades at Quellaveco.
• Premium iron ore production decreased by 3% to 15.4 million tonnes, primarily due to planned plant maintenance at Kumba and the impact of lower ore grade and mass recovery at Minas-Rio.
• Manganese ore production increased by 22% to 908,300 tonnes, reflecting higher operating levels following the impacts of a tropical cyclone in Australia which affected the comparative period.
• Rough diamond production increased by 88% to 7.8 million carats, primarily driven by extended maintenance at Orapa which affected the comparative quarter and planned higher-grade ore at both Jwaneng and Gahcho Kué.
• Steelmaking coal production was broadly flat at 2.0 million tonnes, primarily driven by expected difficult strata conditions at Aquila offset by the ramp-up of Moranbah North.
• Nickel production decreased by 4% to 9,100 tonnes, reflecting maintenance at Barro Alto and Codemin.
• Production and unit cost guidance remains unchanged for 2026, except for lower Copper Chile unit costs of c.210 c/lb (previously c.230 c/lb) and Copper Peru unit costs of c.65 c/lb (previously c.100 c/lb). Overall, Copper unit cost guidance is revised lower to c.145 c/lb (previously c.172 c/lb).

(1) Copper production shown on a contained metal basis.
Copper production for the second quarter of 2026 continues to track to plan and is in line with the comparative period at 173,200 tonnes, reflecting higher production from Chile, offset by anticipated lower production from Peru.
Chile - Copper production of 98,200 tonnes was 2% higher than the comparative period, reflecting higher throughput at Los Bronces, partially offset by lower production from Collahuasi due to lower ore grades.
Production from Los Bronces increased by 25% to 46,000 tonnes following the restart of the second plant at the beginning of the year and sustained recovery in plant performance and mine compliance. Continued mining flexibility at Donoso 2 largely enabled an 11% increase in ore mined which offset the impact of lower ore grades (0.48% vs 0.50%).
At Collahuasi, Anglo American's attributable share of copper production decreased by 11% to 42,600 tonnes, reflecting lower grades (0.80% vs 0.96%) associated with processing lower-grade stockpile ore. This was partially offset by higher throughput, while recovery remained broadly in line with the comparative period (76.0% vs 77.5%). As previously disclosed, while the mine transitions between phases, the processing of lower-grade stockpile ore will continue until access to higher-grade ore in the Rosario pit is available towards the end of the year. Higher throughput was supported by increased water availability compared to the prior period, despite the ruling in May 2026 from the Second Environmental Tribunal which has seen the Environmental Authorization set aside for the desalination plant. The operation will continue to utilise water supply from existing alternative water sources. We continue to work in coordination with the relevant authorities and stakeholders to restart the desalination plant.
Production from El Soldado decreased by 17% to 9,600 tonnes due to lower throughput and planned lower ore grade (0.81% vs 0.84%) as the mine transitions between phases.
The H1 2026 average realised price for Copper Chile was 608 c/lb as compared to the average LME price of 593c/lb, benefiting from provisional pricing adjustments.
Peru - Quellaveco continued to deliver stable mining and processing performance, resulting in higher throughput and recoveries (86.3% vs 81.5%). Production of 75,000 tonnes was 2% lower than the comparative period, reflecting the impact of anticipated lower ore grades (0.64% vs 0.73%). In line with the expected grade profile, production remains weighted to the second half of 2026, and the full year grade is expected to be similar to 2025.
The H1 2026 average realised price for Copper Peru was 608 c/lb as compared to the average LME price of 593 c/lb, benefiting from provisional pricing adjustments.
2026 Guidance
Production guidance for 2026 is unchanged at 700,000-760,000 tonnes (Chile 390,000-420,000 tonnes; Peru 310,000-340,000 tonnes). Copper Chile production continues to be weighted to the second half of 2026 and is subject to water availability. Copper Peru production continues to be weighted to the second half of 2026, owing to the expected grade profile.
Unit cost guidance for 2026 is revised lower to c.145 c/lb(1) (previously c.172 c/lb). The Chile unit cost of c.210 c/lb(1) (previously c.230 c/lb) and Peru unit cost of c.65 c/lb(1) (previously c.100 c/lb) are expected to be lower as they benefit from higher by-product credits and favourable FX movements.
(1) The copper unit costs are impacted by FX rates, pricing of by-products, such as molybdenum, and treatment and refining costs (TC/RCs). FX rate assumption for 2026 unit costs of c.900 CLP:USD for Chile and c.3.4 PEN:USD for Peru (previously c.860 CLP:USD for Chile and c.3.2 PEN:USD for Peru).

(2) Volumes are reported as wet metric tonnes. Product is shipped with ~9% moisture.
Premium iron ore production of 15.4 million tonnes was 3% lower than the comparative period, due to lower production from both Kumba and Minas-Rio.
Kumba - Total production decreased by 4% to 8.8 million tonnes primarily driven by a 16% decrease in Kolomela's production to 2.4 million tonnes, due to a planned plant maintenance shutdown which occurred in line with the scheduled rail maintenance. This was partly offset by a 1% increase in Sishen's production to 6.5 million tonnes due to improved plant feedstock and increased plant availability despite challenging conditions with the heaviest rainfall in many decades experienced during the second quarter.
Total sales decreased by 4% to 9.4 million tonnes(1) due to the 10-day third-party logistics maintenance shutdown in May.
Total finished stock decreased to 7.0 million tonnes(1), compared to Q1 2026 (7.3 million tonnes). Stock at the mines was 4.8 million tonnes (Q1 2026: 4.7 million tonnes), with stock at the port at 2.2 million tonnes (Q1 2026: 2.6 million tonnes).
For the year to date, Kumba's iron (Fe) content averaged 63.6% (H1 2025: 64.1%), while the average lump:fines ratio was 66:34 (H1 2025: 67:33).
The H1 2026 average realised price of $90/tonne(1) (FOB South Africa, wet basis) was 8% higher than the Fastmarkets 62% Fe benchmark price of $83/tonne (FOB South Africa, adjusted for freight and moisture), primarily reflecting the benefit of premiums for our lump product and high Fe content.
Minas-Rio - Production was down by 2% to 6.5 million tonnes compared to the comparative period, reflecting the impact of the lower ore grade and mass recovery, partially offset by improved plant performance supported by increased stability in the ore feed.
The H1 2026 average realised price of $82/tonne (FOB Brazil, wet basis) was 1% higher than the Fastmarkets 65% Fe benchmark price of $81/tonne (FOB Brazil, adjusted for freight and moisture), benefiting from the premium for grade (~67%) Fe content, partially offset by the impact of redirected sales from the conflict in the Middle East and provisionally priced sales volumes.
2026 Guidance
Production guidance for 2026 is unchanged at 55-59 million tonnes (Kumba 31-33 million tonnes; Minas-Rio 24-26 million tonnes). Kumba production remains weighted to the first half of 2026 reflecting the tie-in of the UHDMS project which is planned in the second half of the year, with sales not expected to be impacted owing to the planned drawdown of finished stock. Kumba guidance is subject to third-party rail and port availability and performance.
Unit cost guidance for 2026 is unchanged at c.$41/tonne(2) (Kumba c.$45/tonne(2); Minas-Rio c.$36/tonne(2)).
(1) Production and sales volumes, stock and realised price are reported on a wet basis and could differ to Kumba's stand-alone results due to sales to other Group companies. At H1 2025, total finished stock was 7.4 million tonnes; stock at the mines was 6.4 million tonnes and stock at the port was 1.0 million tonnes.
(2) FX rate assumption for 2026 unit costs of c.16.50 ZAR:USD for Kumba and c.5.2 BRL:USD for Minas-Rio (previously c.16.00 ZAR:USD for Kumba and c.5.3 BRL:USD for Minas-Rio).

Manganese ore production increased by 22% to 908,300 tonnes, reflecting higher operating levels at the Australian operations following the impacts of tropical cyclone Megan in March 2024 which affected the comparative period. While production in the current quarter was initially impacted by adverse weather conditions in Australia as well as mining and equipment constraints in South Africa, successful execution of a recovery plan improved performance through the quarter, partially offsetting these challenges.

(1) Production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kué joint operation which is on an attributable 51% basis.
Operational Performance
Rough diamond production was 88% higher at 7.8 million carats, reflecting the impact of the extended maintenance shutdown in the comparative period at Orapa in Botswana, as well as the planned mining of higher-grade ore at both Jwaneng in Botswana and Gahcho Kué in Canada. Planned plant maintenance at Orapa and Jwaneng during the second half of the year is expected to substantially decrease production levels from current rates.
In Botswana, production increased to 5.5 million carats, due to the impact of the extended maintenance at Orapa in the comparative period as well as the planned mining of higher-grade ore at Jwaneng to optimise plant throughput.
Production in Namibia was broadly unchanged at 0.5 million carats. The retirement of the Coral Sea vessel in the comparative period and planned maintenance of the Mafuta vessel at Debmarine Namibia were largely offset by the planned mining of higher-grade areas at Namdeb.
In South Africa, production at Venetia increased to 0.7 million carats, largely as a result of processing higher volumes of underground ore. As announced by De Beers on 13 July 2026, a pause in production at Venetia is proposed to start in the second half of the year.
In Canada, production increased to 1.0 million carats, as Gahcho Kué benefited from the planned processing of higher-grade ore from the new mining area.
Trading Performance
Rough diamond trading conditions remained challenging in the first half of 2026. The geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape remains uncertain, with the onset of the conflict in the Middle East adding to economic and consumer confidence risks. Synthetic lab-grown diamonds also continued to affect demand for lower value natural diamonds adding pressure in more price-sensitive categories. However, stronger pricing for higher value goods supported a stable overall average price index throughout the period.
The H1 2026 consolidated average realised price declined by 32% to $105/carat, as a result of both a sales mix with a higher proportion of lower value goods due to the current inventory mix and a 16% decrease in the average rough price index (which is now reported including the impact of the stock rebalancing actions taken throughout 2025).
Rough diamond sales in Q2 2026 totalled 7.1 million carats (6.0 million carats on a consolidated basis)(1) from three Sights, generating consolidated rough diamond sales revenue of $665 million. This compares with three Sights in Q2 2025 of 7.6 million carats (6.8 million carats on a consolidated basis)(1), generating $1.2 billion of consolidated rough diamond sales revenue.
2026 Guidance
Production(2) guidance for 2026 is unchanged at 21-26 million carats (100% basis), as the impact of planned plant maintenance at Orapa and Jwaneng and the proposed production pause at Venetia in the second half is expected to reduce the full year production run-rate. De Beers continues to monitor rough diamond trading conditions in order to align output with prevailing demand.
Unit cost guidance for 2026 is unchanged at c.$80/carat(3).
(1) 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).
(2) Production is on a 100% basis, except for the Gahcho Kué joint operation which is on an attributable 51% basis.
(3) FX rate assumption for 2026 unit costs of c.16.50 ZAR:USD (previously c.16.00 ZAR:USD).

(1) Anglo American's attributable share of saleable production. Steelmaking coal production volumes may include some product sold as thermal coal and includes production relating to third-party product purchased and processed at Anglo American's operations.
Steelmaking coal production decreased by 1% to 2.0 million tonnes, primarily impacted by expected difficult strata conditions at Aquila and continued impacts from the significant weather event at Dawson open cut operation in Q1 2026. This was offset by Moranbah North as production ramped-up following the incident in March 2025 and increased production at the Capcoal open cut operation.
Across all the operations, the ratio of hard coking coal production to PCI/semi-soft coking coal was 77:23 during the quarter, lower than Q2 2025 (85:15), reflecting increased PCI/semi-soft coking volumes from the open cut operations due to sequencing of coal flows.
The H1 2026 average realised price for hard coking coal was $201/tonne, compared to the benchmark price of $236/tonne. This resulted in a decrease in the price realisation to 85% (H1 2025: 93%), reflecting lower volumes of premium hard coking coal from the underground mines.
As previously announced, Anglo American has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the remaining portfolio of Steelmaking Coal assets in Australia to Dhilmar, subject to relevant approvals, with the transaction expected to complete by the first quarter of 2027.

Nickel production decreased by 4% to 9,100 tonnes, reflecting the impact of planned maintenance that was brought forward from later in 2026 at Barro Alto and Codemin. Production is now expected to increase gradually at both operations from the third quarter.
As previously announced, Anglo American has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Nickel business to MMG Singapore Resources Pte. Ltd, and we continue to progress through the European Commission's anti-trust approval process.

Forward-looking statements and third party information
This document includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document may be forward-looking statements, 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), the anticipated benefits of mergers and acquisitions (including any assessment or quantification of potential synergies) and sustainability performance related (including environmental, social and governance) goals, ambitions, targets, visions, milestones and aspirations. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believe", "expect", "intend", "aim", "project", "anticipate", "estimate", "plan", "may", "should", "will", "target" and words of similar meaning. 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 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. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. Anglo American expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking (except as required by applicable law, rules or 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.
Nothing in this document should be interpreted to mean that future earnings per share of Anglo American will necessarily match or exceed its historical published earnings per share. Certain statistical and other information included in this document is sourced from third party sources (including, but not limited to, externally conducted studies and trials). As such it has not been independently verified and presents the views of those third parties, but may not necessarily correspond to the views held by Anglo American and Anglo American expressly disclaims any responsibility for, or liability in respect of, such information.
