AngloGold Ashanti has filed a registration statement in the United States under 
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the offer and sale of
the securities described herein and intends to register the securities described
herein for offer and sale in the United States. Any public offering of          
securities to be made in the United States will be made by means of a prospectus
and a related prospectus supplement that form part of this registration         
statement and that will contain detailed information about AngloGold Ashanti and
its management, as well as financial statements. Such prospectus may be obtained
from AngloGold Ashanti at 76 Jeppe Street, Newtown, Johannesburg, South Africa. 
This announcement includes "forward-looking information" within the meaning of  
Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange   
Act of 1934, as amended.  All statements other than statements of historical    
fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation those concerning: AngloGold Ashanti`s strategy to reduce its gold    
hedging position, including the extent and effect of the reduction; the economic
outlook for the gold mining industry; expectations regarding gold prices,       
production, costs and other operating results; growth prospects and outlook of  
AngloGold Ashanti`s operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the 
completion and commencement of commercial operations at AngloGold Ashanti`s     
exploration and production projects and the completion of acquisitions and      
dispositions; AngloGold Ashanti`s liquidity and capital resources and           
expenditure; and the outcome and consequences of any pending litigation         
proceedings. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts,
but rather reflect AngloGold Ashanti`s current expectations concerning future   
results and events and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking
words or phrases such as "believe", "aim", "expect", "anticipate", "intend",    
"foresee", "forecast", "likely", "should", "planned", "may", "estimated",       
"potential" or other similar words and phrases. Similarly, statements that      
describe AngloGold Ashanti`s objectives, plans or goals are or may be forward-  
looking statements.                                                             
These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties 
and other factors that may cause the AngloGold Ashanti`s actual results,        
performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results,  
performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking       
statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected 
in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given   
that such expectations will prove to have been correct.                         
For a discussion of such risk factors, shareholders should refer to the annual  
report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2007, which was filed with   
the Securities and Exchange Commission on 19 May 2008 and, when available, the  
rights offer circular.  These factors are not necessarily all of the important  
factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti`s actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or        
unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future        
results.                                                                        
In connection with the rights offer, the underwriters (or persons acting on     
behalf of any underwriters) may engage in trading activities for the sole       
purpose of hedging their commitments under the underwriting agreement between   
AngloGold Ashanti and the underwriters. Such activity may include purchases and 
sales of securities of AngloGold Ashanti (including shares, ADSs, share rights  
and ADS rights, and derivatives related thereto) and related or other securities
and instruments, short sales of AngloGold Ashanti securities, purchases in the  
open market to cover positions created by short sales, and the purchase and sale
of over-the-counter derivatives and listed options and futures transactions. As 
a result of such activities, the price of such securities may be lower or higher
than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of such activities. If 
these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time at the sole
discretion of the underwriters and without notice.
