4 Los Bronces Copper Business Unit

● Located 65 kilometers from Santiago (Capital of Chile, population 6 million people) and 3.500 meters above sea level Los Bronces is one of biggest copper mines in the world

● Los Bronces is an open pit mine and main facilities are: ● Mine, plant and services area ● Slurry and water pipeline ● Tailings dam

● Los Bronces 2016 production was 307.200 copper tons

● One of the most important environmental permit was in 2007

● Los Bronces is located within biodiversity Hot Spot Central Chile near 2 protected areas: Los Nogales and Yerba Loca (both are Nature Sanctuaries, according environmental regulations) 5 Anglo American – Los Bronces Copper Business Unit Main Facilities Location

10 Los Nogales Nature Sanctuary

● Los Nogales Sanctuary Statement dated on 1973. Defined Area : 11000 hectares, Anglo American is the owner of the 45% of it.

● The main objectives of Sanctuary are protect and motivate flora and fauna researches inside it.

● Statement highlight biodiversity and ecology value of mountains area in Chilean central zone.

11 Los Nogales Nature Sanctuary Sustainability Land Use Plan

● Objectives ● Management of conservation objects in relation to their sensibilities to human use ● Land use according to traditional culture and interesting of conservation objects ● Ensure good conditions of conservation objects (restauration) ● Collaboration on main activities with owners.

● Biodiversity Conservation Context (WCS Methodology): ● Private and public conservation strategy (working with partners) ● Key biodiversity elements ● Identification of biodiversity conservation objects

● Owners. Sanctuary has 3 privates owners ● A Parcel (1). Compañía Agrícola Los Nogales 4100 hectares ● B Parcel (2). Anglo American 4950 hectares ● C Parcel(3). Hacienda Los Nogales Society 1950 hectares 12 Los Nogales Sustainability Plan Schedule

Los Nogales Sustainability Land Use Plan

● Zonification Process: ● Discussion and validation process with owners ● Detailed analysis on High Conservation Zone

● Action Plan: ● Stakeholders: Ongoing education and knowledge process ● Restauration pilot Project on high or medium priority zone (species from Explorador Quilapilun Park / Garden Center)

● Process Results Communication: ● Authorities ● Neighbors communities ● Stakeholders and others

Another Mitigation Hierarchy Activities

● Ongoing collaboration process with Lo Barnechea Local Authority in Sustainability Land Use Plan for Yerba Loca Nature Sanctuary

● Ongoing collaboration on diffusion education biodiversity program 20 “Parque Explorador Quilapilún” Biodiversity Inside Copper Business Unit

● Anglo American Explorador Quilapilún Park, is the first botanic garden within the Santiago Region to grow and preserve native flora and vegetation species

● Its area is 4,5 hectares, the Park included more than 30.000 natives trees and plants of Chilean Central. This means to be the first researcher and diffusion center of central Chilean native flora and vegetation

● There is a garden center where native plants species will be produced for future conservation activities Cactochilensis en Cactochilensis en Santuario Los Nogales Parque Quilapilún
