Forward-Looking Information and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain statements contained in this document, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, those concerning
production, cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, all-in costs, cost savings, headline earnings, headline earnings per share, basic earnings,
basic earnings per share and other operating or financial results, and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, individually or in the
aggregate, 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 31 December 2015,
which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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.

This communication may contain certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures. AngloGold Ashanti utilises certain Non-GAAP performance
measures and ratios in managing its business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative
for, the reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measures of performance prepared in accordance with
IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies may use.
