concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs, all-in
sustaining costs, all-in 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

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-

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 31 December

of the important factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any

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
