Phakathi kwawo, umkhiqizo wamalahle ashisayo ungamathani ayizigidi ezingu-4.4 kanti umkhiqizo wamalahle asetshenziswa ngensimbi ungamathani ayizigidi ezingu-4.2.
Umbiko wekota ukhombisa ukuthi kwikota yesine yonyaka odlule, inkampani ithumele ngaphandle amathani ayizigidi ezingu-4.432 zamalahle ashisayo, lapho iNingizimu Afrika ithumele khona amathani ayizigidi ezingu-4.085 zamalahle ashisayo, ukwehla konyaka nonyaka ngo-10% kanye nokwehla inyanga nenyanga ngo-11%; iColombia ithumele ngaphandle amathani angu-347,000 amalahle ashisayo. Ukwehla unyaka nonyaka ngo-85% kanye nokwehla inyanga nenyanga ngo-67%.
Le nkampani ithe ngenxa yomthelela wobhubhane olusha lwe-crown pneumonia, ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuphepha kwabasebenzi, imayini yamalahle yaseNingizimu Afrika yenkampani iyaqhubeka nokusebenza ngo-90% wamandla ayo okukhiqiza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kwamalahle ashisayo eColombia kwehle kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yesiteleka eMayini Yamalahle yaseCerrejon (eCerrejon).

Ngonyaka odlule, ukuthengiswa kwamalahle ashisayo e-Anglo American kwakungamathani ayizigidi ezingu-42.832, ukwehla konyaka nonyaka ngo-10%. Phakathi kwazo, ukuthengiswa kwamalahle ashisayo eNingizimu Afrika kwakungamathani ayizigidi ezingu-16.573, ukwehla konyaka nonyaka ngo-9%; ukuthengiswa kwamalahle ashisayo eColombia kwakungamathani ayizigidi ezingu-4.534, ukwehla ngo-48% unyaka nonyaka; ukuthengiswa kwamalahle ashisayo asekhaya eNingizimu Afrika kwakungamathani ayizigidi ezingu-12.369, ukwanda konyaka nonyaka ngo-14%.
Ngo-2020, intengo yokuthengisa emaphakathi yamalahle ashisayo athunyelwa ngaphandle yi-Anglo American ingu-USD 55/ton, lapho intengo yokuthengisa yamalahle ashisayo eNingizimu Afrika ingu-USD 57/ton, kanti intengo yokuthengisa yamalahle aseColombia ingu-USD 46/ton.
I-Anglo American Resources ithe ngo-2021, umgomo wenkampani wokukhiqiza amalahle ashisayo awushintshile kumathani ayizigidi ezingama-24. Phakathi kwawo, umkhiqizo wamalahle ashisayo athunyelwa ngaphandle eNingizimu Afrika ulinganiselwa kumathani ayizigidi eziyi-16, kanti umkhiqizo wamalahle aseColombia ulinganiselwa kumathani ayizigidi eziyi-8.
