About Kumba

Kumba Iron Ore Limited, a member of the global Anglo American plc group, is a leading supplier of seaborne iron ore. In 2009 Kumba exported over 34Mt of superior iron ore to customers in a range of geographical locations around the globe; from China, Japan and Korea to a number of countries in Europe and the Middle East.

At present, Kumba’s iron ore comes from its Sishen and Thabazimbi mines, located in South Africa’s Northern Cape and Limpopo provinces respectively. A major new mine is being developed at Postmasburg in the Northern Cape that will start producing in 2012, ramping up to full production of 9Mtpa in 2013.

Since listing on the JSE Limited in 2006, Kumba has proven itself a unique pure-play iron ore investment, known for its product quality, extensive base of mineral resources and reserves and progressive approach.

The group is well positioned not only to weather the current downturn in the demand for commodities, but to make the most of the inevitable upswing when it follows.
