MINING IS ON THE CUSP OF GAME-CHANGING INNOVATIONUnprecedented opportunity for those prepared to take a fresh approach
Anglo American has a portfolio of world-class competitive
mining operations and undeveloped resources and a rich
heritage of technology and innovation that spans 100 years.
Diamonds (De Beers), Copper, Platinum Group Metals
(PGMs), Iron Ore & Manganese, Coal, Nickel
Mining innovation is driven by increasingly critical challenges

FUTURESMART MINING™ IS REDEFINING THEMINING INNOVATION CYCLE
CREATING SHARED VALUE THROUGH THE SMART ADAPTATION AND APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
Consider entire value chain. 3 lenses:
•Sustainability (water, energy)
•Processing
•Mining
GRASP CHALLENGES
IDEATE
•Open Forums
• Internal participation
•Open and collaborative
CONSOLIDATE
•Technology Programmes
•Value defined
•Balance delivery over time
DELIVER
•Rapid delivery cycles (SmartPath)
•Learning plans
•SmartBox VALUE IDENTIFICATION

THE CONCENTRATED MINEPrecisely targeting the metal and mineral with less waste
Moving and processing only the mineral / metal
VISION
CHALLENGE
Precision mining with minimal energy, water and capital intensity
APPROACH
Concentrating the mine™ concept:
• Improved mine fragmentation
•Rejecting the worthless rock (gangue) earlier
•Coarse particle recovery
Fine particle recovery
6
THE WATERLESS MINEWaterless processing
Dry processing without the need for tailings dams
VISION
CHALLENGE
Around 75% of our current portfolio is located in high-water-risk regions
APPROACH
•Closed Loop water recycling
•Evaporation control
•Dry tailings disposal

MODERN MINEContinuous, hard rock mining for safer, more economic mines
MN220 Reef Miner
(Pictured) Remote controlled disc cutting machine designed for mining narrow reefs of hard rock
The Rapid Mine Development System(RMDS) Safely excavates low-profile tunnels with rapid access to ore
Underground testing is advanced at our platinum mines
Continuous haulage system (CHS) A remote controlled system to transfer bulk material from the RMDS to the fixed conveyors
Slot Borer Platinum reef drilling system for drilling narrow vein hard rock ore body of just 1m-1.5m
A safer, more economic mine
VISION

Predictive intelligence
VISION
CHALLENGE
Predict and shape operational outcomes
APPROACH
•Digital planning & work management
•Predictive condition-based monitoring and maintenance
•Advanced process control
•Automation
THE INTELLIGENT MINEA smart, connected, learning mine

DIGITAL MININGDigital provides an opportunity to transform current mining methods
OPPORTUNITY
Mining’s digital potential lies in leveraging a unique combination of digital and physical assets
APPROACH
• The use of modelling & simulation (“digital twins”)
• Improving the current business model (assets, processes and people)
• Standard use of machine learning
Modern mining
VISION
11
DIGITAL INNOVATIONMining’s true digital potential lies beyond digital transition
OPPORTUNITY
Digital innovation can create a new business model
APPROACH
• Digitise the value chain to shift boundaries
• Create new markets
• Disrupt the old business model
A new business model for mining
