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, 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 and    
the company`s annual report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and         
Exchange Commission in the United States on May 5, 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.
