1. The total copper unit cost is the weighted average of Copper Chile and Copper Peru based on actual production or the mid-point of production guidance. 2023F unit cost guidance for Chile is revised reflecting the weaker Chilean peso and Peru is revised due to
lower production volumes.
2. Unit cost is per own mined 5E+gold PGMS metal in concentrate ounce. The revision to 2023F unit cost reflects the weaker South African rand.
3. De Beers unit cost is based on De Beers' share of production. Step-up in 2023F and 2024F unit cost is primarily driven by change in production mix, as Venetia transitions to underground operations and delivers a lower carat profile during ramp-up.
4. Wet basis. Total iron ore unit cost is the weighted average of Kumba and Minas-Rio based on actual production or the mid-point of production guidance. The revision to Kumba 2023F unit cost reflects the weaker South African rand.
5. Steelmaking Coal FOB/t unit cost comprises of managed operations and excludes royalties and study costs. The revision to 2023F unit cost reflects lower production volumes.
