Anglo American Achieves 2024 Production Targets and Advances Strategic Simplification

Anglo American ( (GB:AAL) ) just unveiled an update.

Anglo American reported a solid operational performance for the fourth quarter of 2024, achieving its full-year production guidance across all its businesses. The company saw strong copper production from Quellaveco and record iron ore output from Minas-Rio. However, challenges in the diamond market led to a reduction in production guidance for 2025 and 2026. Anglo American is advancing its portfolio simplification strategy, including the sale of its Steelmaking Coal business and preparations to demerge the De Beers business. These strategic moves are expected to enhance operational efficiency and focus on higher-margin products, supporting the company’s growth and resilience.
