  • NEWS RELEASE 18 July 2019
    NEWS RELEASE 18 July 2019 Anglo American plc Production Report for the second quarter ended 30 June 2019 Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: “Production is up 2%(1) for the quarter, due to the successful ramp-up at Minas-Rio and strong performance at Metallurgical Coal following the longwall moves and plant upgrade work in Q1. Kumba Iron Ore continues to improve following Q1 production challenges. De Beers, in view of prevailing market conditions, will continue to produce to demand for the year. We remain broadly on track overall to deliver this full year’s production targets, with an increase to Minas-Rio guidance offsetting two reductions at De Beers and Kumba Iron Ore.” Highlights • De Beers’ diamond production decreased by 14% to 7.7 million carats in the quarter, as we continue to produce to market demand and as Venetia transitions from open pit to underground. • Copper production increased by 1% to 159,100 tonnes due to strong performance at Los Bronces and Collahuasi. • Platinum production increased by 3%(2) to 520,300 ounces and palladium decreased by 1%(2) to 347,200 ounces, due to a change in mix of production from each operation. • Kumba’s iron ore production decreased by 9% to 10.5 million tonnes due to plant maintenance. • Minas-Rio’s iron ore production was 5.9 million tonnes as its strong ramp-up continues ahead of schedule. • Metallurgical coal production increased by 11% to 5.8 million tonnes due to generally stronger performance and the completion of Q1 longwall moves. • Thermal coal production decreased by 8% to 6.6 million tonnes primarily due to local drought conditions at Cerrejón.

  • A Review of Debswana‟S Performance Pre and Post the Acquisition of De Beers Shares by Anglo American Plc
    A review of Debswana‟s performance pre and post the acquisition of De Beers shares by Anglo American plc. Khumo Mothulatshipi A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering. Johannesburg, 2015 Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. Where work of other authors has been used, it has been duly acknowledged. It is being submitted for the Master of Science in Mining Engineering to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination to any other university. ………………………………………………………………. Signature …………… day of ……………………year ………………………………….. i Abstract The minerals industry has in the last decade witnessed volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). The diamond industry has not been immune to these challenges. These challenges coincided with the decision of the diamond mining family in 2011 to opt out of De Beers after approximately a century of being in control by selling their 40 % stake to Anglo American plc (AA) which already had 45 % stake in De Beers. This transaction increased Anglo American plc‟s stake in De Beers to 85% thus joining venture with the Government of the Republic of Botswana (GRB) under an already existing entity called Debswana. Botswana has been hailed as a beacon of success and a model African state both politically and economically mainly due to its effective management of economic proceeds generated mainly through Debswana diamonds. Something that might be seen as a possible threat to this economic stability is the merger and acquisition (M&A) between the GRB and AA.
