WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM
Robotics is
maturing
Decline in
mining
multifactor
productivity
Information
technology
has matured
Emerging
mining
trends
Mining have
traditionally
been
laggards in
R&D
• We need to do things differently
• Require radical transformation
Look for
inspiration
from within
and outside
of the
industry

WHAT IS FUTURESMARTTM
• It’s a response to the global drive for a more sustainable
approach to mining – economically, socially and
environmentally
• It brings together a number of our value-creating initiatives
that use innovation and/or technology as an enabler to
deliver greater value from our broader mining activities
• It positions Anglo American at the leading edge of
technology development and innovation in mining
• Holistic approach: how technology can benefit entire
systems, not just parts of them
• Open and collaborative approach to bring benefits to the
mining industry
• We are looking for sustainable, lasting change
