Anglo American plc notification: De Beers Societe Anonyme year end results 2011 
Anglo American wishes to draw attention to the De Beers Societe Anonyme ("De    
Beers") announcement of its results for the year ended 31 December 2011. De     
Beers reported Underlying earnings of US$968 million.                           
Anglo American plc ("Anglo American") arrives at its underlying earnings in     
respect of De Beers by accounting for the interests arising from the ordinary   
shares it holds. Anglo American will therefore report underlying earnings of    
US$443 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 from its investment in De    
Beers, as reconciled in the table below:

Underlying earnings                                                             
Underlying earnings is net profit attributable to equity shareholders, adjusted 
to remove special items and remeasurements, and any related tax and non-        
controlling interests. Special items are those items of financial performance   
that the Group believes should be excluded from underlying financial            
performance. Operating special items include impairment charges and reversals   
and other exceptional items, including restructuring costs. Non-operating       
special items include profits and losses on disposals of investments and        
businesses as well as certain adjustments relating to business combinations.    
Remeasurements include adjustments to ensure that the unrealised gains or losses
on non-hedge derivative instruments are recorded in underlying earnings in the  
same period as the underlying transaction against which these instruments       
provide an economic, but not formally designated, hedge as well as foreign      
exchange impact arising in US dollar functional currency entities on deferred   
tax balances.
