(1)  Anglo American’s 40% attributable share of saleable production.

Manganese ore production decreased by 12% to 742,400 tonnes, primarily due to the ongoing temporary suspension of the Australian operations following the damage caused by tropical cyclone Megan in March 2024. The cyclone caused widespread flooding and significant damage to critical infrastructure. Operational recovery focused on re-establishing critical services and undertaking a substantial dewatering program which enabled a phased return to mining activities in June 2024, which  have steadily increased during the fourth quarter. Investment  in repair of crucial infrastructure continues, including a critical bridge connecting the northern mining pits and the primary concentrator, as well as the wharf infrastructure.

Subject to further potential impacts from the wet season, export sales are expected to progressively increase over the June 2025 quarter.
