Heavy rains affect the safe operation of Tumela mine at the Amandelbult Complex and surrounding areas

Heavy rains in the northern part of South Africa over the past week have caused widespread flooding in the region, including at
Anglo American Platinum's Amandelbult Complex.

The significant rainfall and the overflow of the nearby river systems, compounded by the collapse of the Bierspruit dam near
Swartklip on Thursday 20 February caused water ingress at Tumela mine, which overwhelmed pumping capacity, flooding
certain of the underground workings and the main pump station. While surface flooding in and around the Amandelbult
Complex temporarily affected access to the operation, the main Dishaba mine, the concentrator and other infrastructure are
largely unaffected. The successful implementation of the emergency preparedness plans, including the temporary suspension
of all operations at the Amandelbult Complex on Thursday 20 February, ensured the safe evacuation of all employees and
contractors.

Operations at the Amandelbult Complex, except for the Tumela mine, restarted on 24 February. A detailed impact assessment
and recovery plan to ensure safe production at Tumela mine is under way. Preliminary indications are that the 2025 metal-in-
concentrate (M&C) production guidance of 3.0 million to 3.4 million PGM ounces is not expected to be impacted. Tumela mine
contributes approximately 10% to the total monthly M&C production.

The safety of all our employees and surrounding host communities are of the highest priority and we are, together with the
authorities, ensuring that support is provided to those most affected by the floods.
