Certain statements made in this communication, including, without limitation,
those concerning 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 the completion of announced mergers and acquisitions 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 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 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 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.
