Anglo American rough diamond sales value for De Beers’ fourth sales cycle of 2018

Anglo American plc announces the value of rough diamond sales (Global Sightholder Sales and
Auction Sales) for De Beers’ fourth sales cycle of 2018, amounting to $550 million.

Bruce Cleaver, CEO of De Beers, said: “In the fourth sales cycle of the year we saw robust
demand for De Beers’ rough diamonds, reflecting continued strong demand for diamond jewellery,
especially from American consumers as we head towards the important JCK Las Vegas trade
show at the start of June.”
