Anglo American's chief executive, Duncan Wanblad, said Atkinson's "proven experience" of leading large technology-based organisations delivering leading edge programmes and projects was "ideally suited" to the phasing and development of the company's portfolio of major growth options.

"By integrating our next phase of FutureSmart Mining technologies into those projects and our existing operations, we expect to see further improvements in safety and productivity, with enhanced project economics, while reducing our energy and water intensity," said Wanblad.

"This new role is therefore also central to our attainment of our sustainable mining plan climate targets and ambitions. We congratulate Alison on her appointment and look forward to welcoming her."

As of 0810 GMT, Anglo American shares were up 0.46% at 3,569.0p.
