Significant Risk rating methodology

Anglo American 5x5 Risk Matrices Anglo American 5x5 Risk Matrix is a systematic methodology that has been adopted to evaluate the risk of each respective impacts/unwanted event. The risk of each impacts/unwanted events is determined for Safety, health and Environment. The fundamental principle of Risk Matrices is to recognise that it is simply a tool to prioritise risks and the actions required to manage the risk to an acceptable level. It is a risk ranking tool that provides a qualitative means to determine the significance of risks and the required effort to address priorities in addressing the risk. A minimum of two factors are considered for each risk identified:

Likelihood: chance/probability that the risk will occur within a time period

The definition of likelihood provides time based frequency guideline for evaluating risks associated with (repeat) events on a 5 point scale.

Consequence: The impact the risk will have, should it materialise

Given the types of headline risks that the Family of Companies encounters, the consequences/ impact of these risks are categorised across the following areas:

People Safety Delivery of Results Occupational Health Financial Environmental Legal Reputational

Note: The risk are categorised into low, medium, significance and high. Anglo American has adopted a ranking approach from 1 to 25, meaning there are unique Risk Numbers for each risk rated: Low: 1 -5: Medium: 6 to 12: significant: 12 to 20 and high: 21 to 25 Note: When rating significance of environmental aspects the duration and extent of impact must be taken into consideration as follows: For Pollution impacts – Toxicity, Volume and nature of the substance in question. For habitat disturbance – sensitivity of the habitat, the size of the area affected and

the ability of the environment to rehabilitate (Assimilative capacity). For biodiversity impact – red data rating of the species and the range of the species For resource use – amount of resource used, resource availability and whether it is

renewable or not.
