Anglo American temporarily slows Quellaveco copper project 
 construction 
 
 

Anglo American plc ("Anglo American") announces the temporary withdrawal of the majority of employees and contractors from its Quellaveco copper project in Peru, following the Government of Peru's announcement of a 15-day national quarantine to curb the spread of COVID-19. Construction work on the project will therefore be significantly slowed, with only critical areas of the project continuing as normal, until such time as workers can return safely.

Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: "The safety and health of everyone must come first, ever more so at times such as these. We are in the process of safely demobilising most of the 10,000 strong construction workforce at our Quellaveco copper project, in support of the Government of Peru's measures to control the spread of COVID-19. Our development of this world-class project has progressed ahead of schedule and within our budget and we would expect to be able to accommodate this slowdown within our market guidance on both timing and costs at this stage."

The Quellaveco copper project is expected to begin production in 2022, with an expected capital cost of $5.0 to 5.3 billion. During the first ten years of full production, Quellaveco is expected to produce approximately 300,000 tonnes per year at a cash cost of $1.05 per pound of copper.

Aviva update on solvency position ahead of investor conference

Today Aviva will participate in the annual Morgan Stanley Financial Services Conference, which for the first time, is being held virtually. Our Chief Financial Officer, Jason Windsor, will discuss our 2019 results, and provide an update on our capital position in light of the impact of Covid-19 and recent volatility in financial markets.

Aviva remains well capitalised, near the top of its working range. Based on the closing market position on 13 March 2020, our Solvency cover ratio is estimated at approximately 175%, after allowing for payment of our proposed final dividend (c.7 percentage points). The estimate does not allow for any increase in insurance claims or changes in experience or assumptions that may arise from Covid-19. We have expanded our hedging and ALM activity on equities, interest rates and credit spreads. As disclosed at our recent full year results, our centre cash position at the end of February was GBP2.4 billion.

It remains too early to quantify the potential impact on our financial performance arising from Covid-19. The effect on our financial results will depend on a range of factors, including the extent and duration of the period of disruption and the impact on the global economy. At this point, we remain focused on supporting our customers and colleagues while maintaining our financial and operational resilience.
