Jwaneng Mine Resource: nicknamed the “Prince of mines”, Jwaneng Mine has one of the richest kimberlite ore bodies, by value,
in the world
Jwaneng Mine Pit
• 1.4km width
• 2km length
• ≈410m deep
• Three main pipes (Centre, North and South)
• Life of mine 2035*
• Open pit reserves 149.2M¢ from 113Mt of ore, grade 132.0cpht(1)
• Open pit resource 207.5M¢ from 187.5Mt of ore, grade
110.7cpht(1)
• Cut-6/7 and 8
• Cut-8 accounts for 93M¢ from 84Mt of ore
• Tailings 16.5M¢ from 35.8Mt of ore
• Average revenue per carat H1 2016 US$196/¢ (100% of SSV)
• Average cash cost per carat recovered H1 2016 US$19/¢(2)
• Anglo American operating model launched at Jwaneng in September
2016
• Potential life extension projects post Cut-8 to extend life of mine to well
beyond 2040
*Based on the Anglo American Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources Report 2015
(1) Cpht = carats per hundred tonnes of ore
(2) Total cash cost per carat recovered ($/ct). This represents the total production and operating costs before operating special items (excluding
depreciation and capex), divided by carats recovered

Operating model
Improved scheduling and resourcing of planned activities resulting in
improved operational stability and efficiency
• YTD pula/tonne cost moved 10% favourable to target
• YTD production cash costs 10% favourable to target
Operational efficiency
Improved pit conditions and standards
• Tyre life 17% improvement versus 2015
• Shovel t/h 10% improvement versus 2015
• Truck ton-km/hr 10% improvement versus 2015
Total opex savings YTD
• Efficiency improvements – US$11 million
• Cut-9 waste dump redesign – US$14 million
• Cut-8 schedule optimisation – US$5 million
• Cut-8 North east corner rates – US$4 million
• Cut-8 contractor management (tyres) – US$8 million

ExpansionaryStay in Business (SIB) Waste
Capital funding is based on the same pre-tax profit share of GRB 80.8%:19.2% De Beers
Capex evolution
Capitalised waste will tail off as the Jwaneng Cut-8 stripping ratio declines, with first ore achieved in 2017. With long life of mines, stay in business capital expenditure will remain
relatively stable over the medium term, following a short term increase related to Cut-8 once first ore is reached. Current approved expansion project expenditure will tail off as projects
reach completion, including the Letlhakane tailings facility in 2017. Potential expansion opportunities post Jwaneng Cut-8 and Orapa Cut-2 may result in increased capital expenditure,
once studies reach an acceptable level of confidence. 12
Investing in the future: development for future production through waste capitalisation forms a major part of capital expenditure, primarily
at Jwaneng
Jwaneng Modular Tailings Plant
 Commissioned in 2014
 A total of US$103m (100% basis) worth of CAPEX
incurred in the development of the plant
 Processes old tailings deposited between 1982 and
1992
 Processes up to 2 million tonnes, recovering up to
900,000 carats per annum
 Offers flexibility to increase or reduce production to
respond to changes in the market
 Payback period = 3-4 years (from first capital)
Letlhakane Modular Tailings Plant
 Funding for construction approved in Nov 2014
 A total of US$236m worth of CAPEX will be incurred
in the development of the plant
 Construction started in Q1 2015 and will be
commissioned by end of Q2 2017
 Recovers diamonds from tailings through the use of
new and improved recovery technologies
 Capacity of up to 800,000 carats per annum
 Extends the life of the mine by 20 years
 Payback period = 2-3 years (from first capital) 13
Production flexibility: Tailings Processing Plants provide ability to respond effectively to market conditions at lower cost

With long life of mines, stay in business capital expenditure will remain relatively stable over the medium term, following a short term increase related to Cut-8 once first ore is reached. Current approved expansion project expenditure will tail off as projects reach completion, including the Letlhakane tailings facility in 2017. Potential expansion opportunities post Jwaneng Cut-8 and Orapa Cut-2 may result in increased capital expenditure, once studies reach an acceptable level of confidence. 12 Investing in the future: development for future production through waste capitalisation forms a major part of capital expenditure, primarily at Jwaneng
