AngloGold Ltd today lodged its formal Offer Documents and Shareholder
Circular in respect of its offer for Normandy Mining Ltd with the relevant
regulatory authorities.

In Johannesburg, the Circular to Shareholders was submitted to the

Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) for approval. Following the approval
of the JSE, the circular will be posted to AngloGold shareholders later this
month and a shareholders' meeting has been scheduled for 19 November 2001.
In the United States, the F4 Registration Statement - the document required
for the offer to be made to all shareholders located in the US - was filed
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This document has also been
filed with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) in
Australia and will be available to Normandy shareholders located outside the
United States on request.  The offer will be opened to Normandy shareholders
located in the US only upon the US Securities and Exchange Commission
declaring the F4 Registration Statement effective.

In Australia, the formal Bidder's Statement detailing the offer for Normandy
Mining Ltd was lodged with the ASIC and served on Normandy Mining.  A copy
has already been sent to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

The Bidder's Statement will be dispatched to Normandy shareholders at the
end of October. The offer will remain open until 14 December 2001.

The Bidder's Statement explains a number of features of interest to Normandy
retail shareholders.

Last week AngloGold announced a ten-for-one split of its CDIs in Australia
to make the share more accessible to retail shareholders and to enhance
trading liquidity on the ASX.

The Bidder's Statement also includes details about a top-up facility as part
of its commitment to building a long-term retail investor base and to
further promote liquidity in Australia.

The Company is proposing to offer accepting Normandy shareholders, other
than those in the US, the opportunity to subscribe for additional AngloGold
shares (to be registered in the form of CDIs) at a 7.5% discount to market
prices.

The top-up facility will allow subscriptions of up to A$5,000 with a minimum
subscription level of A$2,500.

AngloGold believes this will be the first time such a facility has been
provided in Australia in conjunction with a takeover offer. No brokerage or
other costs will be payable by Normandy shareholders.

The facility will be subject to the approval of the South African Reserve
Bank.
Foreign Investment Review Board

AngloGold has received notification from the Australian Foreign Investment
Review Board that the application for approval of the transaction has been
deferred, pending the release of the Bidder's Statement.

It is anticipated that the transaction will be approved in due course.
