2. Percentages of votes for and votes against each resolution are included on the basis of votes cast and therefore exclude abstentions.
3. The Company had in issue 985,856,695 Ordinary Shares carrying one vote each, and 2,000,000 5% Cumulative Preference Shares carrying 100 votes each. Accordingly, the total number of votes available was 1,185,856,695 votes at the Annual General Meeting.
These results will be published on investor relations, press releases and download pages of the website of Antofagata plc, www.antofagasta.co.uk.
