Anglo American plc reported production results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. For the quarter, rough diamond production increased by 10% to 7.8 million carats compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 when production was reduced in response to trading conditions. The increase also reflects the ramp-up of Gahcho Kué in Canada. Platinum production increased by 2% to 610,100 ounces with strong production from Mogalakwena and Unki mines as well as BRPM and Kroondal. Refined platinum production decreased by 15% to 631,600 ounces following the Waterval Smelter run-out and subsequent rebuild which impacted refined production by 59,000 ounces in the quarter. Copper production decreased by 19% to 146,600 tonnes, primarily at Los Bronces due to expected lower grades, adverse weather earlier in the year, and illegal industrial action by contractor unions. Nickel production increased by 4% to 10,900 tonnes following the successful ramp-up of Barro Alto to nameplate capacity in third quarter of 2016. Iron ore production from Kumba increased by 9% to 11.9 million tonnes driven by improved mining productivity and higher plant yields at Sishen, and higher throughput at Kolomela. Iron ore production from Minas-Rio increased by 49% to 4.9 million tonnes (wet basis) as the operation continues to ramp-up. Export metallurgical coal production decreased by 2%, primarily due to the sale of Foxleigh which completed in August 2016. Excluding Foxleigh, production increased by 5% to 5.4 million tones due to the ramp-up at Grosvenor and productivity improvements at Moranbah and Dawson, partly offset by geological issues and a subsequent longwall move at Grasstree in fourth quarter of 2016. Production of export thermal coal was impacted by the sale of Callide, which completed on 31 October 2016. Excluding Callide, production increased by 7% to 7.9 million tonnes due to productivity driven improvements across all operations in South Africa and Cerrejón. For the year, diamonds production was 27.3 million carats against 28.7 million carats a year ago. Platinum production was 2,382 koz against 2,337 koz a year ago. Copper retained operations production was 577,100 tonnes against 638,000 tonnes a year ago. Nickel production was 44,500 tonnes against 30,300 tonnes a year ago. Iron ore ­ Kumba production was 41.5 million tonnes against 44.9 million tonnes a year ago. Iron ore ­ Minas-Rio production was 16.1 million tonnes against 9.2 million tonnes a year ago. Export metallurgical coal production was 20.9 million tonnes against 21.2 million tonnes a year ago. Export thermal coal production was 32.5 million tonnes against 33.8 million tonnes a year ago.
