OPERATIONS                                                                      
Following notification from Eskom regarding interruptions to power supplies,    
AngloGold Ashanti has halted mining and gold recovery operations on all of its  
South African operations.  Only underground emergency pumping work is being     
carried out. According to Eskom, the current situation arises from reduced      
generating capacity aggravated by problems associated with coal supplies to     
power stations caused by unusually heavy rainfall. Eskom has not yet indicated  
how long the present situation will continue but the company is in contact      
with the electricity supply body.                                               
The company will provide further information as it becomes available.

Certain statements made during this communication, including, without           
limitation, those concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining           
industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs and other  
operating results, growth prospects and the outlook of AngloGold Ashanti`s      
operations including the completion and commencement of commercial operations   
of certain of AngloGold Ashanti`s exploration and production projects, and its  
liquidity and capital resources and expenditure, contain certain forward-       
looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti`s operations, economic           
performance and financial condition. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that   
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,   
no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been        
correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in     
the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in  
economic and market conditions, success of business and operating initiatives,  
changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions,             
fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and operational    
risk management. For a discussion of such factors, refer to AngloGold           
Ashanti`s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2006, which was          
distributed to shareholders on 29 March 2007. AngloGold Ashanti undertakes no   
obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-        
looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after today`s date or to  
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
