Anglo American notes the criminal accusation made by the President of the Federation of Copper Workers in Chile, a Codelco Board member, in relation to Anglo American’s sale of a 24.5% shareholding in Anglo American Sur (“AASur”) to Mitsubishi Corporation in November 2011. Anglo American’s disagreement with Codelco in relation to AASur is a contractual dispute between two large corporations and should be resolved as such.
