The rise was a result of “favorable ore grades” at the Orapa and Jwaneng mines in Botswana, Anglo said.
Although output at De Beers' Venetia mine in South Africa dropped 60 percent, full operations will resume in the second half of this year, it said.
The Jwaneng mine is still recovering fom the impact of a huge slope accident last year, while mining at Venetia was hit at the start of this year by heavier than usual rainfall.
De Beers is due to publish its full-year results on July 26.
