Reserves - Anglo American Share, Excludes Callide

Coal Inventory: Occurrence of coal of economic interest which forms the physical envelope that encompasses a Coal Resource or Coal Reserve, or both, and includes Reconnaissance, Inferred, Indicated and Measured Coal Resources, together with any associated Probable and Proven Coal Reserves.

These data represent tonnage estimates compiled in accordance with the principles and guidelines of the JORC code or NI 43-101 by a Competent (Qualified) Person or Persons.

Due to the uncertainty which may be attached to some Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed, but normally would be expected, that a major part of an Inferred Coal Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Coal Resource as a result of continued exploration.
