NEWS RELEASE
ANGLOGOLD AGREES TO DEFER MODIFIED HANDLING FEES

AngloGold today became aware that Newmont has made an application to the Australian Takeovers Panel challenging AngloGold's modified broker handling fee proposal, announced yesterday.
The challenge relates primarily to the time deadline of 11 December in respect to the modified handling fees. AngloGold offered the fees to the Australian broking community in good faith and believes that they are equitable and fully comply with Australian law.
However, in light of the Newmont challenge, AngloGold has agreed with the Takeovers Panel that it will not make payments under the proposed
arrangements until the issues have been resolved by the Panel. AngloGold understands that this should occur in the next few days.
