Financial and Operating Report
OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER
FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW
Operating production and cost performances in South Africa, Continental Africa
and the Americas, along with full exposure to the record gold price drove marked
improvements in earnings and cash flow generation during the second quarter.
Adjusted headline earnings surged by 68% to a record $342m, or 89 US cents a
share in the three months to 30 June, compared with $203m, or 53 US cents the
previous quarter.
Net profit attributable to equity shareholders rose from $241m recorded in the
first quarter to $470m for the second quarter. This increase was on the back of
improved earnings and fair value gains on the two convertible bonds.
Cash generated from operating activities improved by 24%, to $635m during the
period under review. Free cash flow, after all capital expenditure, finance
costs and tax, was $207m. These robust inflows helped further strengthen the
group`s balance sheet. Net debt (excluding the mandatory convertible bond) was
further reduced to $866m at the end of the quarter, from $1.1bn at the end of
March. About two-thirds of AngloGold Ashanti`s targeted capital expenditure for
the year of $1.6bn will be spent over the remainder of the year, with a
commensurate impact on net debt in the second half.
Given the improved cash flow, the board has declared a dividend of 90 South
African cents per share, an increase of 38% over the corresponding period last
year. The increase is largely in line with the improvement in the gold price
over the period and reflects AngloGold Ashanti`s desire to improve returns to
shareholders while retaining the capacity to fund its growth projects.
OPERATING RESULTS
Production and total cash costs for the three months to 30 June 2011, a period
impacted by 5 public holidays and a local government election in South Africa,
were broadly in line with guidance at 1.086Moz at $705/oz, compared with
1.039Moz at $706/oz the previous quarter. Guidance for the second quarter was
1.09Moz at a total cash cost of $760/oz.
The cost performance was bolstered by improved production and efficiencies at
key assets, greater by-product credits and stockpiling of ore during the
shutdown and repair of the SAG mill at Geita during the quarter. Continental
Africa delivered good production gains coupled with a 14% drop in total cash
costs, while South Africa and the Americas showed rising production and good
cost control at key assets. Australia continued to face challenges following the
first quarter`s flooding, as wet weather hampered recovery efforts. Group total
cash costs were marginally better than the previous quarter despite increased
power tariffs in South Africa.
SAFETY
Tragically, three fatalities occurred during the quarter in separate incidents
following a seismic event at Mponeng, surface accident at the Cuiaba mine in
Brazil and at an exploration site in Eritrea. Continued focus on mitigating
risks in the workplace, through visible leadership at each operation and
implementation of the Safety Transformation component of Project ONE, remains a
priority for each member of the company. AngloGold Ashanti`s fatality frequency
rate has improved by 73% since 2007 and is some 60% better than its local peer
group. The company`s all injury frequency rate of 10 injuries per million hours
worked was the lowest in AngloGold Ashanti`s history, indicating that efforts
toward effecting a comprehensive change in attitude toward safety across every
level in the group are gaining traction. South Africa and Continental Africa
fared especially well in this regard during the quarter. There remains, as
always, room for further improvement.
OPERATING REVIEW
The South African operations produced 431,000oz at a total cash cost of $688/oz
in the second quarter of 2011, compared with 401,000oz at a total cash cost of
$637/oz in the previous quarter. The increase in production resulted from
continued operational improvements following the seasonally slow first quarter.
The increase in total cash costs was contained to 8%, despite a stronger rand,
winter electricity tariffs and higher royalties triggered by the rising gold
price. At the West Wits operations, production from Mponeng, the company`s
largest mine, increased by 8% to 127,000oz after temperature constraints and
safety related production stoppages which hampered operations in the first
quarter, were addressed. Neighbouring TauTona experienced yield improvements
following a release of tons locked up in the VCR shaft area and achieved higher
volumes mined.
These factors together afforded a 11% increase in gold production to 60,000oz,
at a total cash cost of $848/oz. At the Vaal River operations, production at
Moab Khotsong increased by 10% to 75,000oz, after operational constraints
related to high temperatures and compressed air, which affected the previous
quarter, were addressed. Kopanang managed a 4% increase in production to
83,000oz following fewer safety related stoppages, which led to improved area
mined and tons milled. Total cash costs, however, increased by 16% to $684/oz
due to winter electricity tariffs and royalties. Great Noligwa was another
beneficiary of fewer safety- related interruptions as well as a resolution to
ore pass blockages that impacted the previous quarter. The mine posted a 23%
increase in production to 27,000oz. Surface Operations production remained at
48,000oz, however total cash costs increased 9% to $588/oz.
The Continental Africa operations produced 377,000oz at a total cash cost of
$705/oz in the second quarter of 2011, compared with 363,000oz at a total cash
cost of $819/oz the previous quarter. In Ghana, Obuasi staged a strong operating
performance with a 19% increase in production to 83,000oz and a 28% improvement
in total cash costs to $732/oz. The improvement stemmed principally from
improved availability of underground equipment, a successful drive to improve
consistency in plant operations and access to higher grade blocks. Iduapriem,
where the plant underwent a scheduled maintenance shutdown, posted a planned 21%
decline in output to 44,000oz and a resultant increase in total cash costs to
$891/oz. Notwithstanding a shutdown to repair and upgrade one of the ends on the
SAG mill, Geita, in Tanzania, benefited from higher grades mined at the
Nyankanga and Geita Hill pits. Production at the mine rose 14% to 107,000oz,
while total cash costs dropped 46% to $441/oz. In Mali, improved grades and
throughput pushed production from Sadiola 10% higher to 33,000oz, while total
cash costs improved marginally to $687/oz. Morila`s production rose 14% to
25,000oz as higher grades were processed from stockpiles. In Guinea, Siguiri`s
production increased marginally to 66,000oz, but increased royalties following
the higher gold price, along with rising fuel prices and use of consumables
drove total cash costs 19% higher to $801/oz. Navachab, in Namibia, continued to
face challenges related to its DMS plant, compounded by lower recovered grades
and tonnages. Production fell 18% to 14,000oz and total cash costs rose 26% to
$1,202/oz.
The Americas operations produced 216,000oz at a total cash cost of $487/oz in
the second quarter of 2011, compared with 203,000oz at a total cash cost of
$480/oz in the previous quarter. In Argentina, Cerro Vanguardia delivered
another strong performance with higher grades driving a 7% rise in production to
48,000oz. Higher silver prices helped push total cash costs 39% lower to
$264/oz, again the lowest for the group. In Brazil, Serra Grande faced dilution
issues and lower recoveries due to challenges experienced with filtration. Both
issues have been addressed. Production fell 18% to 14,000oz, while total cash
costs rose 24% to $881/oz. At AngloGold Ashanti Corrego do Sitio Mineracao
(AngloGold Ashanti Mineracao), production was unchanged at 84,000oz, as higher
tonnages offset lower grades. A better performance from the underground fleet at
Cuiaba offset the effects of lower grade, a stronger real and general cost
inflation in Brazil. Total cash costs rose 11% to $493/oz. In the US, Cripple
Creek & Victor`s production increased by 23% to 70,000oz as ore was placed on
newer sections of the pad, closer to the liner. Total cash costs rose 11% to
$546/oz, due mainly to higher diesel prices and mining costs.
Australasia produced 61,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,595/oz in the second
quarter of 2011, compared with 72,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,153/oz the
previous quarter. This quarter`s figure includes a non-cash deferred stripping
charge of $93/oz. The pit-wall slippage at Sunrise Dam, together with the
continued impact of the previous quarter`s flood, severely affected all aspects
of the operation. Mining in the open pit was suspended during the quarter while
dewatering the underground mine remained a priority. Additional support work
required for the switchback to the main access ramp was also undertaken during
the quarter, extending the period needed to remediate the operation.
PROJECTS
AngloGold Ashanti incurred capital expenditure of $346m during the quarter, of
which $126m was spent on growth projects. Of the growth-related capital, $61m
was spent in the Americas, $30m was spent in Continental Africa, $16m in
Australasia and $19m in South Africa.
The team at the Corrego do Sitio project, in Brazil, continued to make swift
progress, despite stiff competition for skilled engineering personnel in Brazil.
Full production for the first phase of the project, estimated at 140,000oz a
year, remained on schedule for 2013. Drainage for the stockpiles at the site was
completed, water treatment piping installed and tested and civil engineering
work for the crushing and milling circuit finished. Installation of the SAG,
primary-ball and regrind mills was also finished and the lining of the autoclave
and the conditioning tank completed. Commissioning of the milling and flotation
areas will get underway during the third quarter. Work on the Sao Bento plant
also continued during the quarter, with key equipment refurbished, including the
existent flotation cells and warehouse and laboratory facilities. In the mining
area, ore production reached 40,800 tons during the quarter.
At the Tropicana Gold Project (AngloGold Ashanti 70% and manager) and
Independence Group NL (30%) construction works focused predominantly on the
220km long site access road during the quarter. Although heavy rain in June
caused work to be suspended for 11 days, the road remains on schedule to be
completed in the fourth quarter.
During the second quarter, the open pit mining contract was finalised and
awarded to Macmahon Holdings Ltd.
Procurement negotiations are underway on the long lead-time major equipment
packages and detailed engineering design is on track for completion ahead of the
start of processing plant construction in the second quarter of 2012.
Recruitment of the Tropicana Gold Mine management team has been completed.
The Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve at Tropicana was updated as at 30 June 2011
to reflect recent increases in the gold price and changes to the resource model
through increased drill density in the Havana South and Boston Shaker zones. The
Ore Reserve increased by 540,000 ounces to 56.4 Mt grading 2.16g/t Au containing
3.91Moz of gold whilst the Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource estimate
increased slightly to 78.6Mt grading 2.12g/t Au for 5.36Moz of gold.
The increased Ore Reserve was primarily due to the inclusion of the Boston
Shaker pit, which added 243,000oz, and conversion of Inferred Resources into
Indicated status at Havana South, which added a further 257,000oz Au. Although
drilling activities on the mining leases during the quarter were constrained by
rain, three multi- purpose RC rigs are on site, with drilling predominantly
focused on Havana Deeps.
Shallow drilling has been completed in the Swizzler area (between the Tropicana
and Havana pits) where there is potential for the two pits to merge. Better RC
drill results from Swizzler included: TFRC3531 15m at 3.6g/t Au from 98m; TFRC
3560 16m @ 3.8g/t Au from 127m TFRC3562 5.0m at 5.2g/t Au from 139m. Limited
diamond drilling was completed down dip of Swizzler and one hole (TFD421)
returned an encouraging 6m @ 19.2g/t Au from 255m. A follow up programme of
RC/Diamond drilling has commenced to assess the Swizzler Deeps area.
A pre-feasibility study, including substantial drilling programmes, is being
carried out to evaluate open pit and underground mining options of the Havana
Deeps mineralisation. A total of 20,600m of RC and diamond drilling was
completed in the quarter. Only limited assays have been returned to date with a
best result of 14m @ 6.5g/t Au from 421m in HDD077.
At the Kibali joint venture, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, work
commenced in July on the relocation of the inhabitants of 14 villages affected
by the development of the mine, which remains on track to yield first production
in 2014. Kokiza, as the new settlement is called, will ultimately comprise more
than 3,500 houses accommodating about 15,000 people, a Catholic Church complex
and other places of worship, schools, seven medical centres, five public market
places and a government office. Transport infrastructure built to serve the town
will consist of 50km of primary roads in addition to the 20km of secondary roads
already constructed. Randgold Resources, which also owns a 45% stake in the
project, is Kibali`s operator and project manager. The expected date to complete
the Kibali project feasibility study is Quarter 4 2011.
The feasibility study for the Mongbwalu project, in which AngloGold Ashanti owns
a 86.22% stake, and is also in the DRC, is currently undergoing an optimization
by the Business and Technical Development team. The project is expected to be
submitted to the board for approval later this year.
EXPLORATION
Total exploration expenditure during the second quarter, inclusive of
expenditure at equity accounted joint ventures, was $82m ($32m on brownfield,
$27m on greenfield and $23m on pre-feasibility studies), compared with $71m the
previous quarter ($26m on brownfield, $25m on greenfield and $20m on pre-
feasibility studies).
The following are highlights from the company`s exploration activities during
the quarter. More detail on AngloGold Ashanti`s exploration programme can be
found at www.anglogoldashanti.com.
Greenfield exploration activities were undertaken in six regions (Australia,
Americas, Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East & North Africa) during
Q2 2011. A total of 60,453 metres of diamond, RC and AC drilling was completed
at existing priority targets and used to delineate new targets in Australia,
Colombia, Argentina, Guinea, Gabon, the DRC, Egypt, Ethiopia, Brazil and the
Solomon Islands.
In Australia, at the Tropicana JV (AngloGold Ashanti 70%, Independence Group
30%), exploration continued during the second quarter following up significant
results from previous work. Significant results were received from aircore
drilling during the quarter for several prospects including Iceberg, 35km south
of Tropicana, where 20m @ 0.99g/t Au was intersected from 32m, including 8.0m @
2.19g/t Au from 40m. At Margarita, 10km SW of Tropicana, results included 1m at
1.76g/t Au from 45m. At Ninja, 15km WSW of Tropicana - Havana, results included
2m at 1.01g/t Au.
Brownfield drilling on the Vogue discovery, beneath the current workings at
Sunrise Dam has continued, yielding positive results. Drilling confirms a broad
zone of significant mineralisation beneath current workings at depths ranging
from 600m to 800m. Bulked intercepts across the entire zone include: 166m @
4.7g/t Au and 229m @ 5.1g/t Au.
Greenfields exploration in the Americas during the second quarter of 2011
continued focusing on early stage exploration in Colombia, Canada, USA, Brazil
and Argentina. In Colombia exploration programmes were undertaken in four
separate regions. A 3,000m diamond drilling programme and sampling and mapping
was completed at the Nuevo Chaquiro prospect around Quebradona. Elsewhere,
mapping and sampling programmes were undertaken at the La Llanada, La Vega and
Anaima-Tocha Belt. Geophysical programmes included the commencement of regional
airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, utilising two helicopter borne
systems.
In Brazil, drilling commenced at the Falcao Project, a joint venture with
Horizonte Minerals. Regional geochemical sampling programmes were undertaken
over the Santana JV area and Juruena project areas. In Argentina exploration
drilling started at El Volcan on targets defined by earlier drill programmes.
In the Solomon Islands, exploration activities continued at the Kele and Mase
Joint Ventures with XDM Resources, while tenement applications associated with
two additional Joint Venture agreements covering the New Georgia and Vangunu
project areas progressed. At Mase, diamond drilling was restarted during May
with a total of 247m completed during the quarter. At Kele diamond drilling
continued with 1,370m completed during the quarter. Here, mechanical cutting and
sampling of 4.52km of trenches focussed in the Tango West, Konga and Kukumbokulu
prospect areas.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, project generation work is ongoing and new conceptual
targets to guide longer term strategies in Africa have been developed.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, regional exploration continued on
Ashanti Goldfields Kilo (AGK) 5,487km2 Kilo project. Greenfield exploration
activities continued in six projects Lodjo, Issuru, Dala, Alosi Camp 3, Mont Tsi
and Petsi. Five diamond holes were drilled at Mont Tsi and drilling has
commenced at Issuru to the north of the Mongbwalu project area. Drilling will
recommence at Mont Tsi after the completion of a ground geophysical survey.
In Gabon, drilling continued at La Mboumi West and Central on the Ndjole
licence, a joint venture with Dome Ventures, Renewal applications have been
completed for the Ndjole & Mevang JV licences. Geochemical soil sampling and
mapping continues over La Mboumi as well as AGA`s Eteke North (Ogooue licence).
In Guinea, regional exploration work, including soil sampling and drilling
programmes on Blocks 2, 3 and 4 in the Siguiri Mine region. A total of 7,360
geochemical soil samples were collected. Encouraging gold in soil geochemical
anomalies were revealed by this work.
Additional resource delineation and definition drilling was completed at Saraya
in late June. A total of 2,969m of diamond and 3,646m of RC drilling was
completed. Assay results from infill drilling include apparent thickness
intercepts of 18m @ 5.4g/t Au from 80m, 9m @ 4.91g/t Au from146m and 14m @
1.9g/t Au from 190 in SARC277 and: 14m @ 1.25g/t Au from 110m in SARCDD007.
Delineation and infill drilling commenced at Kounkoun, located in Block 3, where
twelve holes totalling 2,346m were completed during the quarter, while assay
results from this work are pending.
Greenfields exploration in the Middle East & North Africa region is being
undertaken by Thani Ashanti; a 50:50 Strategic Alliance between AngloGold
Ashanti and Thani Investments. Exploration during Q2 involved diamond drilling
at the Hutite prospect, located on the Hodine licence in Egypt. Here 3,043m of
diamond drilling was completed during the quarter and results include: 3m @
4.83g/t Au from 55m, 5m @ 4.61g/t Au from 152m and 5m @ 1.42g/t Au from 163m in
HUD004. Most significant results returned this quarter are from the 1,000m long
Central Zone, where mineralisation has been intersected in all seven holes
drilled to date.
In Eritrea, follow-up stream sediment geochemistry and mapping is in progress
over the targets identified from the 10,000 line km airborne EM, magnetic and
radiometric survey at the Kerkasha and Akordat North exploration licences.
The Afar JV with Stratex International has commenced diamond drilling at the
Megenta project in Ethiopia. As part of this agreement, Thani Ashanti has a
minimum exploration commitment of $1m, and can earn 51% interest in the licences
by spending $3m. Results from the upper portion of the first hole contain
several
0.5g/t Au results and some >1g/t Au intercepts from narrow veins. The
results are consistent with the envisaged mineralisation model. AngloGold
Ashanti increased its stake in Stratex International to an interest of
approximately 11.2% through a $5m private placement, meeting the SARB investment
requirements of a minimum of 10%.
Twenty four exploration licence applications were submitted in Saudi Arabia. The
applications form a contiguous block of 2,356km2.
OUTLOOK
Operations were impacted during the first half of the year by a number of
factors, which would in themselves have led annual production to the lower end
of initial guidance of 4.55Moz to 4.75Moz. These include flooding at Sunrise
Dam, the decision to stop mining the shaft pillar at TauTona for safety reasons,
drought at Cripple Creek & Victor which impacted optimal functioning of the
leach pad and lower-than-anticipated grades at Siguiri.
As a result of the operational impacts as outlined above and the strike in South
Africa at the end of July, the year guidance is being revised to around 4.45Moz.
The lower production, along with higher fuel prices and stronger local operating
currencies in Brazil and South Africa result in total cash cost guidance of
$725/oz-$740/oz, This assumes an oil price of $114/barrel and average exchange
rate of R6.83/$ and equivalent Australian dollar and Brazilian real rates.
Third quarter production is expected to be around 1.11Moz at a total cash cost
of $775/oz. This assumes an oil price of $115/barrel and average exchange rate
of R6.75/$ and equivalent Australian dollar and Brazilian real rates.
Review of the Gold Market
Gold price movement and investment markets
Gold price data
During April, the gold price continued to benefit from ongoing economic
uncertainty in Europe and the United States, receiving an additional boost from
the threat to the triple A credit rating of the United States. Bullion traded to
an intraday high of $1,575/oz at the start of May. However this momentum was not
sustained and after a brief correction, the price traded sideways for the
balance of the quarter. Many of the factors that drove gold in the first month
of the quarter persisted as the European debt crisis worsened. Domestic politics
and brinkmanship in the United States saw the debt ceiling impasse adding yet
more uncertainty to global financial markets, adding to the metal`s tailwind.
Although the latter is likely to be resolved, the ongoing sovereign solvency
turmoil in Europe should underpin the gold price going forward. Despite the
modest 4.5% increase in the average gold price in the quarter under review, the
increase marks the 10th consecutive quarter of growth and represents gold`s
longest winning streak since the 1920s.
Investment demand
ETF holdings for the quarter remained fairly stagnant with net investment for
the quarter at around 1.2Moz, growth of less than 2% from its opening position.
In contrast, during the second quarter of last year when similar concerns over
sovereign risk were escalating, ETF holdings grew by around 9Moz. Not
surprisingly, most of the growth can be attributed to European ETFs. The COMEX
net long position posted a high of 30.5Mozs in the second quarter, which
unsurprisingly coincided with the run in the gold price. Global estimated bar
and coin demand from the December 2010 quarter to the June 2011 quarter stands
at 1,396 tons, a 49% increased year-on-year; most of the growth is driven by
European investors. While ETFs have received alot of press in recent times it is
worth noting that the bar and coin market is three times the size of the ETF
market. In China, investment demand slowed from the extreme highs of the first
quarter, but still recorded year-on-year estimated growth approaching double
digits. Outlook for the rest of the year remains good as inflationary pressures
continue to weigh on the Chinese economy. Fears over inflation similarly
underpin the continuation of India`s record gold demand. In the second quarter
of 2010, 154 tons were imported, while in the first two months of this quarter,
192 tons flowed into India. Some 75% of this gold will be destined for the
jewellery market.
Official sector
While the ETF markets failed to register growth, the official sector has been
relatively active. In the first half of the year central banks bought about 151
tons. Mexico added some 100 tons, significantly increasing its holding from
previous levels of 6.9 tons. Russia and Thailand were other notable buyers,
further consolidating the trend of developing economies diversifying their
central bank holdings. Sales under the third Central Bank Agreement for the
current year to date are virtually zero as central banks expand their gold
reserves.
Jewellery sales
As mentioned, India`s storming 2011 continued in the second quarter and the
jewellery market remained buoyant. Unlike in 2010, consumers now appear
accustomed to higher gold prices and many expect it to continue to rise through
the year as fuel, food and fast-moving consumer goods show no sign of ending
their upward price trajectory. Indian consumers were not perturbed by gold price
volatility in the quarter under review as relative Rupee gold price stability
helped ameliorate the situation. Unlike their Indian counterparts, Chinese
consumers did exhibit discomfort with the relatively volatile gold price. The
second quarter is traditionally a slower quarter in China and the three months
through June were no different, although year- on-year jewellery demand still
registered an increase (which may have stretched to double digits). One factor
that may have dampened gold purchases was a new drive by commercial banks to
attract liquidity by increasing the one-month interest rate for deposits to 7%,
while the annual deposit rate is in the region of 3.5%. In the United States,
the strategically vital high-end gold market continued to show signs of strength
with an estimated growth of 15%. High-end gold brands continue to outperform
lower- and mid-end gold plays as the high price of gold continues to gnaw away
at gold content in cheaper jewellery. At JCK, the major trade show held in June,
most attendees were more upbeat than last year as the industry builds off a
stronger, more sustainable base.
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are reported in accordance with the minimum
standards described by the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration
Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code, 2004 Edition), and also
conform to the standards set out in the South African Code for the Reporting of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (The SAMREC Code,
2007 edition). Mineral Resources are inclusive of the Ore Reserve component
unless otherwise stated.
Introduction
In January 2011, given the continued rally in the gold price, AngloGold Ashanti
committed to publishing its updated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves using a
price higher than the $850/oz that was used to determine the 2010 Ore Reserve.
MINERAL RESOURCE
The total Mineral Resource increased from 220.0Moz in December 2010 to 232.6Moz
in June 2011. A six month increase of 15.7Moz occurred before the subtraction of
depletion and an increase of 12.6Moz after the subtraction of depletion. It
should be noted that changes in economic assumptions from December 2010 to June
2011 resulted in the Mineral Resource increasing by 14.8Moz whilst exploration
and modelling resulted in an increase of 4.8Moz. The remaining decrease of
3.9Moz resulted from various other factors. Depletions from the Mineral Resource
for the six months totalled 3.1Moz.

Mineral Resources have been estimated at a gold price of $1,600/oz (2010:
$1,100/oz).
ORE RESERVE
The AngloGold Ashanti Ore Reserve increased from 71.2Moz in December 2010 to
74.0Moz in June 2011. A six month increase of 5.4Moz occurred before the
subtraction of 2.6Moz for depletion, resulting in an increase of 2.9Moz after
the subtraction of depletion. It should be noted that changes in the economic
assumptions from December 2010 to June 2011 resulted in the Ore Reserve
increasing by 2.3Moz while exploration and modelling resulted in a further
increase of 1.1Moz. The remaining increase of 2.0Moz resulted from various other
factors.

By-products
Several by-products are recovered as a result of the processing of gold Ore
Reserves. These include 21,233t of uranium oxide from the South African
operations, 440,270t of sulphur from Brazil and 37.6Moz of silver from
Argentina.

Liquidity and capital resources
To service the above capital commitments and other operational requirements, the
group is dependent on existing cash resources, cash generated from operations
and borrowing facilities.
Cash generated from operations is subject to operational, market and other
risks. Distributions from operations may be subject to foreign investment,
exchange control laws and regulations and the quantity of foreign exchange
available in offshore countries. In addition, distributions from joint ventures
are subject to the relevant board approval.
The credit facilities and other finance arrangements contain financial covenants
and other similar undertakings. To the extent that external borrowings are
required, the group`s covenant performance indicates that existing financing
facilities will be available to meet the above commitments. To the extent that
any of the financing facilities mature in the near future, the group believes
that sufficient measures are in place to ensure that these facilities can be

1,151 171
AngloGold Ashanti is subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and
regulations that may in future require the group to take corrective action as
follows:
(1) Groundwater pollution - AngloGold Ashanti has identified groundwater
contamination plumes at certain of its operations, which have occurred primarily
as a result of seepage from mine residue stockpiles. Numerous scientific,
technical and legal studies have been undertaken to assist in determining the
magnitude of the contamination and to find sustainable remediation solutions.
The group has instituted processes to reduce future potential seepage and it has
been demonstrated that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) by the existing
environment will contribute to improvement in some instances. Furthermore,
literature reviews, field trials and base line modelling techniques suggest, but
are not yet proven, that the use of phyto-technologies can address the soil and
groundwater contamination. Subject to the completion of trials and the
technology being a proven remediation technique, no reliable estimate can be
made for the obligation.
(2) Deep groundwater pollution - The company has identified a flooding and
future pollution risk posed by deep groundwater in the Klerksdorp and Far West
Rand gold fields. Various studies have been undertaken by AngloGold Ashanti
since 1999. Due to the interconnected nature of mining operations, any proposed
solution needs to be a combined one supported by all the mines located in these
gold fields. As a result the Department of Mineral Resources and affected mining
companies are now involved in the development of a "Regional Mine Closure
Strategy". In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate
estimation of a liability, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.
(3) Sales tax on gold deliveries - Mineracao Serra Grande S.A. (MSG), received
two tax assessments from the State of Goias related to payments of sales taxes
on gold deliveries for export. AngloGold Ashanti C rrego do Sit o Mineracao S.A.
manages the operation and its attributable share of the first assessment is
approximately $63m, R425m. The company`s attributable share of the second
assessment is approximately $39m, R262m. In November 2006 the administrative
council`s second chamber ruled in favour of MSG and fully cancelled the tax
liability related to the first period. In July 2011, the administrative
council`s second chamber ruled in favour of MSG and fully cancelled the tax
liability related to the second period. The State of Goias has appealed to the
full board of the State of Goias tax administrative council. The company
believes both assessments are in violation of federal legislation on sales
taxes.
(4) Other tax disputes - MSG received a tax assessment in October 2003 from the
State of Minas Gerais related to sales taxes on gold. The tax administrators
rejected the company`s appeal against the assessment. The company is now
appealing the dismissal of the case. The company`s attributable share of the
assessment is approximately $11m, R72m.
AngloGold Ashanti subsidiaries in Brazil are involved in various disputes with
tax authorities. These disputes involve federal tax assessments including income
tax, royalties, social contributions and annual property tax. The amount
involved is approximately $31m, R210m.
(5) Indirect taxes - AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited received a tax assessment
for $12m, R82m during September 2009 in respect of 2006, 2007 and 2008 tax
years, following an audit by the tax authorities related to indirect taxes on
various items. Management is of the opinion that the indirect taxes are not
payable and the company has lodged an objection.
(6) Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act (ODMWA) litigation - The case
of Mr Thembekile Mankayi was heard in the High Court of South Africa in June
2008, and an appeal heard in the Supreme Court of Appeals in 2010. In both
instances judgement was awarded in favour of AngloGold Ashanti Limited. A
further appeal that was lodged by Mr Mankayi was heard in the Constitutional
Court in 2010. Judgement in the Constitutional Court was handed down on 3 March
2011.
Following the judgement, Mr Mankayi`s executor may proceed with his case in the
High Court. This will comprise, amongst others, providing evidence showing that
Mr Mankayi contracted silicosis as a result of negligent conduct on the part of
AngloGold Ashanti.
The company will defend the case and any subsequent claims on their merits.
Should other individuals or groups lodge similar claims, these too would be
defended by the company and adjudicated by the Courts on their merits. In view
of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a
possible liability, no reliable estimate can be made for this possible
obligation.
(7) Royalty - As a result of the sale of the interest in the Boddington Gold
Mine joint venture during 2009, the group is entitled to receive a royalty on
any gold recovered or produced by the Boddington Gold Mine, where the gold price
is in excess of Boddington Gold Mine`s cash cost plus $600/oz. The royalty
commenced on 1 July 2010 and is capped at a total amount of $100m, R674m.
Royalties of $7m, R45m were received during the quarter. Total royalties of
$17m, R124m have been received to date.
(8) Royalty - As a result of the sale of the interest in the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine
during 2010, the group is entitled to receive a royalty on the production of a
total of 1.5Moz ounces by the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine and in the event that the
average monthly rand price of gold exceeds R180,000/kg (subject to inflation
adjustment). Where the average monthly rand price of gold does not exceed
R180,000/kg (subject to inflation adjustment), the ounces produced in that
quarter do not count towards the total 1.5Moz upon which the royalty is payable.
The royalty will be determined at 3% of the net revenue (being gross revenue
less State royalties) generated by the Tau Lekoa assets. Royalties of $1m, R7m
were received during the quarter.
(9) Provision of surety - The company has provided sureties in favour of a
lender on a gold loan facility with its affiliate Oro Group (Pty) Limited and
one of its subsidiaries to a maximum value of $15m, R100m. The suretyship
agreements have a termination notice period of 90 days.
15. Concentration of risk
There is a concentration of risk in respect of recoverable value added tax and
fuel duties from the Tanzanian government:
- Recoverable value added tax due from the Tanzanian government amounts to $46m,
R310m at 30 June 2011 (31 March 2011: $47m, R317m). The last audited value added
tax return was for the period ended 31 October 2010 and at the reporting date
the audited amount was $47m, R317m. The outstanding amounts at Geita have been
discounted to their present value at a rate of 7.82%.
- Recoverable fuel duties from the Tanzanian government amounts to $71m, R478m
at 30 June 2011 (31 March 2011: $67m, R451m). Fuel duty claims are required to
be submitted after consumption of the related fuel and are subject to
authorisation by the Customs and Excise authorities. Claims for the refund of
fuel duties amounting to $53m, R357m have been lodged with the Customs and
Excise authorities which are still outstanding, whilst claims for a refund of
$18m, R121m have not yet been submitted. The amounts outstanding have been
discounted to their present value at a rate of 7.82%.
16. Borrowings
AngloGold Ashanti`s borrowings are interest bearing.
17. Announcements
Restructuring of the Black Economic Empowerment Share Ownership transaction: On
14 April 2011 AngloGold Ashanti announced the proposed restructure of the Black
Economic Empowerment transaction (BEE transaction). Shareholders in general

transactions, AngloGold Ashanti`s liquidity, capital resources and capital
expenditure and the outcome and consequences of any litigation or regulatory
proceedings or environmental issues, contain certain forward-looking statements

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, chang es in the regulatory
environment and other government actions including environmental approvals and
actions, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and
operational risk management. For a discussion of certain of these and other
factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti`s annual report for the year ended 31
December 2010, which was distributed to shareholders on 29 March 2011 and the
company`s 2010 annual report on Form 20- F, which was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission in the United States on May 31, 2011. 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. 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
