History and Development

Anglo American was founded in 1917 in Johannesburg by Ernest Oppenheimer with the objective of developing large-scale mining operations in South Africa using British and American investment capital.

During its early decades, the company expanded its mining activities and consolidated operations in strategic commodities such as diamonds, platinum, and other metals.

Over time, Anglo American diversified geographically, acquiring mining assets in regions including South America, Australia, and Canada while expanding its global commodity portfolio.

In 1999, the company underwent a major corporate restructuring that established Anglo American plc with its primary listing in London, marking a significant step in its evolution as a global mining group.
