Certain statements contained in this document, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, those
concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs,
all-in sustaining costs, cost savings and other operating results, return on equity, productivity improvements, growth
prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the achievement of
project milestones, commencement and completion of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration
and production projects and the completion of acquisitions and dispositions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital
resources and capital expenditures and the outcome and consequences of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory
proceedings or environmental, health and safety issues, are forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti’s
operations, economic performance and financial condition. These forward-looking statements or forecasts involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in these
forward-looking statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements and forecasts 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, social and political and market conditions, the success of business and
operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, including environmental
approvals, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, and
business and operational risk management. For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report
on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013 that was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on 14 April 2014. 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. Consequently, readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. AngloGold Ashanti undertakes no obligation to update
publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable law. 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.
