UNCLASSIFIED

WE’VE IDENTIFIED THREE OPEN FORUM AREAS…

Sustainability Processing

Mining

FutureSmart Open Forums are set in the context of objectives that will require us

to address technology challenges that previously may have been seen as impossible

UNCLASSIFIED

KICKING THE WATER HABIT: OUR ASPIRATION FOR WATER FREE MINING

What if we could…

Redesign our processes

and technology to be water-

free and only use recycled

water

Consume only minimal clean

water for our own needs and

instead use others’ waste

water

Through water, create

sustainable development

opportunities not only for

Anglo American, but for all

stakeholders

11

UNCLASSIFIED

ADAPTABLE PROCESSING: OUR ASPIRATION FOR THE FIT FOR PURPOSE PLANT

What if we could…

Redesign our processes

and technology to adapt

to any size and grade of

ore deposit

Dramatically reduce the

energy, water and physical

footprint required for

extracting minerals from ore

Transform mineral

processing into a fully flexible

and highly integrated

manufacturing system

12

UNCLASSIFIED

..AND OUR DESIRED OUTCOME IS A PORTFOLIO OF

PROJECTS THAT DELIVER VALUE FROM THE START

• The portfolio project approach will

deliver value early

• Total value will continue to grow as

longer term projects start to generate

benefits

• The selection of suitable projects at

the completion of the Open Forum is a

key deliverable

• Understanding the shape of this graph

will dictate the choice of projects 0 2 4 6 8

Indicative absolute value generation

UNCLASSIFIED

IP ENABLES, NOT IMPEDES, COLLABORATION

Benefit

Right

Property

BASIC UNITS OF VALUE FROM IP

OUR FOCUS IS TO GUARANTEE OUR FREEDOM TO OPERATE

Novel approaches to Intellectual Property (IP)

will facilitate collaboration

Collaboration exposes us to risk

Exchanging confidential information

Clear contract clauses on IP ownership

Development of new processes

A number of options may be considered when

negotiating IP, for example:

Owning the IP

Sharing of IP rights (e.g. joint ownership,

cross licensing)

Future price discounts as co-developer

Securing rights of first refusal to either

own or license the IP

KEY MESSAGE

• Anglo American has embarked on an open innovation approach

called FutureSmart Open Forums

• Open Forums is a tool which will use to identify the right problems

• The initial focus of the Open Forums will be identifying the

game changing projects in water and adaptive processing plant

It’s a seemingly

impossible task that,

if achieved, will

simply change

everything…
