This Report is also filed with the National Storage Mechanism intended to satisfy the requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK.

Reporting entities

This report includes payments to governments made by subsidiaries in the Group which are engaged in extractive activities. During the 2019 financial reporting period, extractive activities were conducted in Lesotho while the operation in Botswana was under care and maintenance. All payments made in relation to the Botswana entity were under the materiality level and therefore not reported.

Scope of payments

The report discloses only those significant payments made to governments arising from extractive activities.
