Certain statements made in this communication, including, without limitation,   
those concerning AngloGold Ashanti`s strategy to reduce its gold hedging        
position including the extent and effects of the reduction, the economic outlook
for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production,   
cash 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 of certain of AngloGold    
Ashanti`s exploration and production projects and completion of acquisitions and
dispositions, AngloGold Ashanti`s liquidity and capital resources, including its
intentions and ability to refinance its $1 billion convertible bond, and        
expenditure and the outcome and consequences of any pending litigation          
proceedings, 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 2008, 
which was distributed to shareholders on 27 March 2009. 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.  All subsequent written or
oral forward-looking statements attributable to AngloGold Ashanti or any person 
acting on its behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements herein.         
AngloGold Ashanti posts information that is important to investors on the main  
page of its website at www.anglgoldashanti.com and under the "Investors" tab on
