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

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

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

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

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
