  • AA Q1 2021 Production Report
    22 April 2021 Anglo American plc Production Report for the first quarter ended 31 March 2021 Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: “Anglo American's portfolio is increasingly tilted towards future-enabling metals and minerals, with our recently proposed demerger of our thermal coal operations in South Africa moving us further in that direction. We are also making good progress in ensuring every operation plays its part towards a lower carbon world, with 100% renewable electricity supply now secured for all of our operations across Brazil, Chile and Peru. "Q1 production was at 95%(1) of normal capacity, meeting strong customer demand despite some limited constraints at certain operations due to Covid-19. Production increased by 3%(1) driven by strong performances at the copper operations in Chile, and PGMs and iron ore in South Africa, more than offsetting plant maintenance downtime at Minas-Rio iron ore in Brazil and the temporary suspension at the Moranbah metallurgical coal operation in Australia." Q1 highlights • Demerger of South Africa thermal coal operations, subject to shareholder approval on 5 May. • Renewable electricity supply agreement signed for mains power at the Quellaveco copper project in Peru. All South American operations will have 100% renewable electricity supply from 2022. • Copper production increased by 9% due to strong performances at both Los Bronces and Collahuasi. • Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) production increased by 7%, with Mogalakwena production increasing by 17% due to higher throughput and grade. • Iron ore production at Kumba increased by 10% driven by higher plant availability. • Rough diamond sales continued to improve amid midstream restocking following an encouraging holiday selling season for diamond jewellery in major global markets.

  • Preparing for Carbon Pricing: Case Studies from Company Experience
    TECHNICAL NOTE 9 | JANUARY 2015 Preparing for Carbon Pricing Case Studies from Company Experience: Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company Acknowledgments and Methodology This Technical Note was prepared for the PMR Secretariat by Janet Peace, Tim Juliani, Anthony Mansell, and Jason Ye (Center for Climate and Energy Solutions—C2ES), with input and supervision from Pierre Guigon and Sarah Moyer (PMR Secretariat). The note comprises case studies with three companies: Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). All three have operated in jurisdictions where carbon emissions are regulated. This note captures their experiences and lessons learned preparing for and operating under policies that price carbon emissions. The following information sources were used during the research for these case studies: 1. Interviews conducted between February and October 2014 with current and former employees who had first-hand knowledge of these companies’ activities related to preparing for and operating under carbon pricing regulation. 2. Publicly available resources, including corporate sustainability reports, annual reports, and Carbon Disclosure Project responses. 3. Internal company review of the draft case studies. 4. C2ES’s history of engagement with corporations on carbon pricing policies. Early insights from this research were presented at a business-government dialogue co-hosted by the PMR, the International Finance Corporation, and the Business-PMR of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) in Cologne, Germany, in May 2014. Feedback from that event has also been incorporated into the final version. We would like to acknowledge experts at Royal Dutch Shell, Rio Tinto, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)—among whom Laurel Green, David Hone, Sue Lacey and Neil Marshman—for their collaboration and for sharing insights during the preparation of the report.

  • Overview of the Nickel Market in Latin America and the Caribbean
    INSG SECRETARIAT BRIEFING PAPER April 2021 – No.35 Overview of the Nickel market in Latin America and the Caribbean Ricardo Ferreira, Director of Market Research and Statistics Francisco Pinto, Manager of Statistical Analysis 1. Introduction At the suggestion of the Group’s Brazilian delegation, it was agreed by members that a report, based on INSG Insight No. 26, published in November 2015 entitled “An overview of the nickel industry in Latin America”, be prepared by the secretariat. This would include an update of the operations that resumed production (e.g. Falcondo in the Dominican Republic), and also discuss how the emerging battery market might influence nickel usage in the region as well as the possibility of nickel scrap usage. This detailed and comprehensive Insight report, the 35th in the series of INSG Insight briefing reports, provides members with the results of that research work. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the nickel producing countries are Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guatemala and Venezuela. The Dominican Republic stopped nickel mining and smelting in October 2013 but resumed production at the beginning of 2016. Venezuela has not produced since mid-2015. All of these countries mine nickel and process it further to produce intermediate or primary nickel – mainly ferronickel. Most of the mined ore is processed within each country, and then exported to overseas markets, but Brazil and Guatemala also export nickel ore. In terms of usage only Brazil and Mexico are relevant regarding the global nickel market. The first section of this report briefly describes existing nickel deposits in the region.
