Enclosure: AngloGold Ashanti Earnings Release for the Three Months and Six Months Ended 30 June
2024
London, Denver, Johannesburg, 6 August 2024 - AngloGold Ashanti plc (“AngloGold Ashanti”, “AGA” or the “Company”) reported improvements in gold
production and total cash costs per ounce* for the first six months of the year compared with the first six months of last year, helped by a significant turnaround at
its Brazil operations, which in turn drove significant year-on-year gains in cash flow and earnings. With further operating improvements expected in the second
half of 2024, guidance for 2024 was maintained.
In the first half of 2024, gold production(1)(2) rose 2% year-on-year to 1.25Moz from 1.23Moz in the same period a year earlier, with total cash costs per ounce*(1)(2)
for the group decreasing 1% year-on-year to $1,158/oz from $1,169/oz in the same period last year. This compared to a realised inflation rate for the Company of
about 6% during the first half of 2024, which represents the sum of price-related increases in cost of goods and services at each site. All-in sustaining costs
(“AISC”) per ounce*(1)(2) for the group rose 2% year-on-year in the first six months of 2024 to $1,589/oz compared with $1,555/oz in the same period in 2023.
Total cash costs per ounce* for subsidiaries(1)(2) improved 1% year-on-year from $1,209/oz in the first half of 2023 to $1,200/oz in the first half of 2024. Total cash
costs per ounce* for joint ventures(1) improved 2% year-on-year from $880/oz in the first half of 2023 to $866/oz in the first half of 2024. AISC per ounce* for
subsidiaries(1)(2) increased 2% year-on-year from $1,624/oz in the first half of 2023 to $1,658/oz in the first half of 2024. AISC per ounce* for joint ventures(1)
increased 2% year-on- year from $1,060/oz in the first half of 2023 to $1,078/oz in the first half of 2024.
Improved operational performance and strong cost control helped AngloGold Ashanti capture the benefit of a higher average gold price received per ounce*, with
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA*”) rising 65% year-on-year in the first half of 2024 to $1.118bn from
$676m in the first half of 2023. Free cash flow* for the first half of 2024 was an inflow of $206m compared to an outflow of $205m in the same period in the
previous year.
“These results show the hard work that’s been done to improve the fundamentals of our business, to drive productivity benefits and manage costs to ensure we
capture the benefit of stronger gold prices,” CEO Alberto Calderon said. “We expect to deliver an even stronger second-half performance.”
Denver-headquartered AngloGold Ashanti continues to take steps to improve its valuation versus its North American peers by further improving relative cost
performance and cash conversion while increasing the life of its key mines and prioritising the successful development of major projects.
Brazil Drove LATAM Turnaround
Gold production(1)(2) in the first half of 2024 from the Company’s Americas segment -- AngloGold Ashanti Mineração (Cuiabá), Serra Grande and Cerro Vanguardia
-- increased 10% year-on-year to 257,000oz from 234,000oz in the first half of 2023. Total cash costs per ounce*(1)(2) from the business unit improved 18% year-
on-year to $974/oz in the first half of 2024 from $1,185/oz in the same period last year. AISC per ounce*(1)(2) in the region improved 27% to $1,414/oz in the first
half of 2024 from $1,932/oz in the same period last year. The region recorded a strong turnaround in free cash flow* for the first six months of 2024, recording an
inflow of $149m from an outflow of $127m in the same period last year.
“We took decisive steps last year to restructure our business in Brazil after a sustained period of losses,” Calderon said. “That created the foundation for this step-
change in operating performance, which we will look to improve further.”
Proactive Cost Management Offsetting Inflation
The 1% year-on-year improvement in total cash costs per ounce*(1)(2) for the group during the first half of 2024 as compared to the first half of 2023 was mainly
characterised by improved operational performance and enhanced cost efficiency linked to the Full Asset Potential initiatives. The 2% year-on-year increase in
AISC per ounce*(1)(2) for the group during the first half of 2024 as compared to the first half of 2023 was mainly due to a planned increase in sustaining capital
expenditure*.
Strong Second Quarter Bolsters First Half Performance
Gold production(1) in the second quarter of 2024 rose 12% quarter-on-quarter to 663,000oz from 591,000oz in the first quarter of 2024. The overall second quarter
improvement in gold production(1) quarter-on-quarter came as the Australian assets recovered from flooding toward the end of the first quarter of 2024.
Tropicana’s second quarter gold production improved quarter-on-quarter by 38%, and Sunrise Dam's by 14%. At Siguiri, where metallurgical recovery challenges
hampered first-quarter performance, second quarter gold production(1) was up 67% quarter-on-quarter. Across the remainder of the portfolio, improved second-
quarter gold production(1) contributions were recorded at Kibali (8%), Iduapriem (6%), Cerro Vanguardia (5%) and Geita (1%). At Obuasi, gold production was
steady quarter-on-quarter at 54,000oz in the second quarter of 2024. Underground ore tonnes treated increased by 7% quarter-on-quarter as the mine ramped up
open stope volumes.
Strong Financial Performance and Dividend Increase Driven by Improved Fundamentals and the Higher Price of Gold
Basic earnings in the first half of 2024 were higher than in the first half of 2023 mainly due to more gold sold, a higher average gold price received per ounce*,
lower operating costs, lower impairments and derecognitions of assets, higher equity earnings from joint ventures, higher finance income and lower foreign
exchange losses, partly offset by higher losses on non-hedge derivatives, higher corporate and operating expenses, and higher taxation. Basic earnings were
$311m, or 74 US cents per share, in the first half of 2024 compared to a basic loss of $39m, or 9 US cents per share, in the same period a year earlier. Headline
earnings(3) were $313m, or 74 US cents per share, in the first half of 2024 compared to $61m, or 14 US cents per share, in the same period a year earlier.
The Company generated $206m in free cash flow* in the first six months of 2024 compared to an outflow of $205m in the same period last year. This increase was
mainly due to the turnaround in the Americas, a higher average gold price received per ounce* and loan repayments from Kibali, partially offset by higher capital
expenditure and higher cash taxes.
The balance sheet remained robust notwithstanding continued investment in the existing production base and the project pipeline, as well as the payout of the
final 2023 dividend in March 2024. The Company had liquidity of approximately $2.3bn at the end of June 2024, including cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $983m.
Following the improved first half performance to production, cash costs and free cash flow, coupled with the robust balance sheet and expectations for continued
improvements in the second half of the year, an interim dividend of 22 cents a share was a declared, versus 4 cents in the first half of 2023.
Geita Fatality
Tragically, a fatal light vehicle accident was recorded during May 2024 at Geita, in Tanzania, where a contractor was killed when the light motor vehicle he was
driving overturned. An in-depth investigation into the incident has been completed and a clear series of steps were identified to avoid future such accidents. Our
thoughts are with the family and loved ones of our deceased colleague, as well as his colleagues.

AngloGold Ashanti’s reporting for subsidiaries has shifted from an attributable basis of reporting to a consolidated basis of reporting. The change in reporting has only impacted subsidiaries with non-controlling interests (i.e.,
Siguiri and Cerro Vanguardia), whereas joint operations (i.e., Tropicana) which are proportionately consolidated remain unaffected. Joint ventures (i.e., Kibali) which are accounted for under the equity method also remain
unaffected and their gold production, related unit revenue and cost metrics continue to be reported on an attributable basis. As a result of this change in reporting, certain adjustments to exclude non-controlling interests on gold
production, related unit revenue and cost metrics have been discontinued. The metrics for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2023 have been adjusted to reflect this change in reporting.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Six-month review
Gold production
Gold production for the first six months of 2024 was 1.25Moz, compared to 1.23Moz for the first six months of 2023.
Gold production was 2% higher year-on-year with increased contributions from Cuiabá (+16%), Serra Grande (+14%), Iduapriem (+8%),
Geita (+6%) and Kibali (+5%). The increase in gold production was mainly driven by higher overall recovered grade for the group, partially
offset by lower total ore mined. The Company continued to record an increasing recovered grade trend with underground grades increasing
6% year-on-year mainly on the back of the progression of the ongoing reinvestment in the portfolio.
AngloGold Ashanti recorded a 12% quarter-on-quarter increase in gold production to 663,000oz in the second quarter of 2024 from
591,000oz in the first quarter of 2024. These improvements were mainly driven by improvements in both ore tonnes processed and
recovered grades. The overall second quarter improvement in gold production came as the Australian assets recovered from flooding toward
the end of the first quarter of 2024. Tropicana’s second quarter gold production improved quarter-on-quarter by 38%, and Sunrise Dam's by
14%. At Siguiri, where metallurgical recovery challenges hampered first-quarter performance, second quarter gold production was up 67%
quarter-on-quarter. Across the remainder of the portfolio, steady second-quarter gold production contributions were recorded at Kibali (8%),
Iduapriem (6%), Cerro Vanguardia (5%) and Geita (1%). At Obuasi, gold production was steady quarter-on-quarter at 54,000oz in the
second quarter of 2024. Underground ore tonnes increased by 7% quarter-on-quarter as the mine ramped up open stope volumes. Obuasi
is expected to produce 275,000oz – 320,000oz of gold in 2024.
Costs
Total cash costs per ounce* for subsidiaries improved 1% year-on-year from $1,209/oz in the first half of 2023 to $1,200/oz in the first half of
2024. Total cash costs per ounce* for joint ventures improved 2% year-on-year from $880/oz in the first half of 2023 to $866/oz in the first
half of 2024. Total cash costs per ounce* for the group decreased by 1% year-on-year to $1,158/oz in the first half of 2024, from $1,169/oz in
the first half of 2023. The group delivered a 1% reduction in total cash costs per ounce*, countering a 6% inflation rate increase, and a 2%
higher royalty cost based on the gold price performance for the period, partly offset by a 4% increase in foreign currency exchange rates.
This cost reduction was mainly characterised by improved operational performance and enhanced cost efficiency linked to the Full Asset
Potential initiatives at the Americas operations and in Africa at Iduapriem.
All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) per ounce* for subsidiaries increased 2% year-on-year from $1,624/oz in the first half of 2023 to $1,658/oz in
the first half of 2024. AISC per ounce* for joint ventures increased 2% year-on-year from $1,060/oz in the first half of 2023 to $1,078/oz in
the first half of 2024. AISC per ounce* for the group rose 2% year-on-year to $1,589/oz in the first half of 2024, from $1,555/oz in the first
half of 2023. The 2% year-on-year increase in AISC per ounce* during the first half of 2024 as compared to the first half of 2023 was mainly
due to a planned increase in sustaining capital expenditure*.
Adjusted EBITDA*
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation* (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the first half of 2024 was $1,118m, compared
with $676m for the first half of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA* was higher year-on-year mainly due to a higher average gold price received per
ounce*, higher gold sold, lower operating costs, lower operating expenses and higher equity earnings from associates and joint ventures,
partly offset by higher corporate costs.
Earnings
Basic earnings (profit attributable to equity shareholders) for the first half of 2024 were $311m, or 74 US cents per share, compared to a
basic loss (loss attributable to equity shareholders) of $39m, or 9 US cents per share, in the first half of 2023. Basic earnings were higher
year-on-year mainly due to a higher average gold price received per ounce*, higher gold sold, lower operating costs, lower impairments and
derecognition of assets, higher equity earnings from joint ventures, higher finance income and lower foreign exchange losses, partly offset
by higher losses on non-hedge derivatives, higher corporate and operating expenses and higher taxation.
Headline earnings‡ for the first half of 2024 were $313m, or 74 US cents per share, compared with $61m, or 14 US cents per share, in the
first half of 2023. Headline earnings were higher year-on-year mainly due to the same reasons which contributed to the increase in basic
earnings in the first half of 2024 in addition to lower impairment and lower losses on derecognition of assets and taxes thereon.
‡ The financial measures “headline earnings (loss)” and “headline earnings (loss) per share” are not calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards,
but in accordance with the Headline Earnings Circular 1/2023, issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), at the request of the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited (JSE). These measures are required to be disclosed by the JSE Listings Requirements and therefore do not constitute
Non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to the use and disclosure of Non-GAAP financial measures.
Cash Flow
Net cash inflow from operating activities was $672m in the first half of 2024, compared to $293m in the first half of 2023. This increase was
mainly due to higher gold sold, lower operating costs and the higher average gold price received per ounce*. After accounting for capital
expenditure and loan repayments from Kibali, the Company recorded free cash inflow* of $206m during the first half of 2024, compared to
an outflow of $205m in the first half of 2023.
Free cash flow* before non-sustaining capital expenditure*, the metric on which the dividend payment is based, was an inflow of $337m for
the first half of 2024, compared to an outflow of $71m for the first half of 2023.
AngloGold Ashanti received a cash distribution of $36m from the Kibali joint venture during the first half of 2024, compared to a cash
distribution of $37m received during the first half of 2023. At 30 June 2024, the Company’s attributable share of the outstanding cash
balances from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) was $19m, compared to $51m at 31 December 2023.

Free cash flow* was impacted by movements in the lock-up of value added tax (“VAT”) at Geita and Kibali and foreign exchange controls
and export duties at Cerro Vanguardia (“CVSA”):
•In Tanzania, net overdue recoverable VAT input credit refunds (after discounting provisions) decreased by $14m during the
second quarter of 2024 to $139m from $153m at 31 March 2024, as a result of processing verified VAT claims against corporate
tax payments of $33m and foreign exchange adjustments of $6m, partially offset by new claims submitted of $19m and
discounting adjustments of $6m. AngloGold Ashanti expects to continue offsetting verified VAT claims against corporate taxes.
•In the DRC, the Company's attributable share of the net recoverable VAT balance (including recoverable fuel duties and after
discounting provisions) increased by $12m during the second quarter of 2024 to $74m from $62m at 31 March 2024, as a result of
new claims submitted of $5m and unwinding of discount and revaluation adjustments of $7m.
•In Argentina, the net export duty receivables (after discounting provisions) remained unchanged at $4m‡ at 30 June 2024 when
compared to 31 March 2024, mainly due to a weaker exchange rate of the Argentinean peso against the US dollar leading to a
reduction in the receivable of $1m‡, offset by new claims of $1m‡. In addition, CVSA’s cash balance increased by $6m‡ during the
second quarter of 2024 to $168m‡ from $162m‡ at 31 March 2024. The cash balance is available to be paid to AngloGold
Ashanti’s offshore ($34.3m‡) and onshore ($1.4m‡) investment holding companies in the form of declared dividends.
During June 2024, CVSA paid offshore dividends of $5m‡ to AngloGold Ashanti by entering into a currency swap to obtain the
necessary US dollars. Additionally, applications have been made to the Argentinean Central Bank to approve the purchase of US
dollars in order to distribute offshore dividends related to the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 financial years of $34.3m‡ to AngloGold
Ashanti. Also, under a special regime established for dividend payments, a new petition to distribute an additional $45m‡ was
submitted to the Argentinean Central Bank during the third quarter of 2023. While the remaining approvals are pending, the cash
remains fully available for CVSA’s operational and exploration requirements.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Adjusted net debt* decreased to $1,148m at 30 June 2024 from $1,268m at 31 December 2023. The ratio of Adjusted net debt* to Adjusted
EBITDA* was 0.62 times at 30 June 2024 compared to 0.89 times at 31 December 2023. The Company remains committed to maintaining a
flexible balance sheet with an Adjusted net debt* to Adjusted EBITDA* target ratio of 1.0 times through the cycle.
At 30 June 2024, the balance sheet remained strong, with liquidity comprising the US$1.4bn 2022 multi-currency RCF of which $1.25bn was
undrawn; the South African R150m ($8m) RMB corporate overnight facility which was undrawn; and the $281m 2021 Geita multi-currency
RCF of which $101m was undrawn. At 30 June 2024, the $65m 2022 Siguiri RCF was fully drawn. At 30 June 2024, the Company had a
cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately $983m, taking overall group liquidity to approximately $2.3bn.
Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditure of the group (including equity-accounted joint ventures) was 11% higher year-on-year at $551m in the first six months of
2024, compared to $497m in the first six months of 2023. Capital expenditure of subsidiaries increased by 8% year-on-year to $490m in the
first six months of 2024, from $453m in the first six months of 2023. This increase was mainly due to an increase of $51m in sustaining
capital expenditure* and a decrease of $14m in non-sustaining capital expenditure*. Capital expenditure of joint ventures increased by 39%
year-on-year to $61m in the first six months of 2024, from $44m in the first six months of 2023. This increase was mainly due to an increase
of $6m in sustaining capital expenditure* and an increase of $11m in non-sustaining capital expenditure*.

Sustaining capital expenditure* of the group increased by 16% year-on-year to $420m in the first six months of 2024, from $363m in the first
six months of 2023. Sustaining capital expenditure* of subsidiaries increased by 15% year-on-year to $386m in the first six months of 2024,
from $335m in the first six months of 2023. Sustaining capital expenditure* of subsidiaries increased mainly due to higher sustaining capital
expenditure* on deferred waste stripping at Geita and Siguiri, higher Mineral Reserve development costs at Obuasi and the acquisition of a
new mining fleet at Siguiri, partially offset by a reduction in sustaining capital expenditure* at AGA Mineração mainly due to the continuing
suspension of gold concentrate processing activities at the Queiroz metallurgical plant and the CdS mine being placed on care and
maintenance in August 2023. Sustaining capital expenditure* of joint ventures increased by 21% year-on-year to $34m in the first six months
of 2024, from $28m in the first six months of 2023. Sustaining capital expenditure* of joint ventures increased mainly due to higher waste
stripping.
Non-sustaining capital expenditure* of the group was 2% lower year-on-year at $131m in the first six months of 2024, compared to $134m in
the first six months of 2023. Non-sustaining capital expenditure* of subsidiaries decreased by 12% year-on-year to $104m in the first six
months of 2024, from $118m in the first six months of 2023. Non-sustaining capital expenditure* of subsidiaries decreased mainly due to
lower project capital expenditure at the Geita West Hill Underground project, lower tailings storage facility (“TSF”) construction capital
expenditure at Iduapriem as well as lower project capital expenditure on Phase 3 of the Obuasi redevelopment project, partially offset by an
increase in project capital expenditure for waste mining in the Havana cutback project. Non-sustaining capital expenditure* of joint ventures
increased by 69% year-on-year to $27m in the first six months of 2024, from $16m in the first six months of 2023. Non-sustaining capital
expenditure* of joint ventures increased mainly due to the solar energy project.

Obuasi redevelopment project), or power disruptions, nor further changes to asset portfolio and/or operating mines and have not been reviewed by AngloGold
Ashanti’s external auditors. Other unknown or unpredictable factors, or factors outside the Company’s control, including inflationary pressures on its cost base,

enable its operations to deliver in line with its production targets. Actual results could differ from guidance and any deviations may be significant. Please refer to
the Risk Factors section in AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2023 filed with the SEC.
The 2024 guidance provided in February 2024 remains unchanged. At the midpoint of guidance the Company expects to see gold
production growth of approximately 4% in 2024 relative to 2023. The primary drivers of expected gold production growth is related to the
ramp-up at Obuasi and at Siguiri where the Company expects year-over-year recovery following the 2023 carbon-in-leach (“CIL”) tank
failure.
Total cash costs per ounce* for subsidiaries are expected to range from $1,125/oz to $1,225/oz in 2024. Total cash costs per ounce* are
forecast to remain flat at the midpoint as the continued realisation of benefits from the Company’s Full Asset Potential review programme are
expected to be offset by inflation and an anticipated stronger Australian dollar against the US dollar.
Sustaining capital expenditure* for 2024 is expected to grow slightly from 2023 because of increased Mineral Reserve Development (MRD)
investment.
Following the completion of these projects, the Company’s subsidiaries are expected to operate at an AISC per ounce* ranging from $1,575/
oz to $1,675/oz in 2024.
Non-sustaining capital expenditure* for 2024 is expected to increase from 2023 due to additional investment in North Bullfrog and supporting
infrastructure for the Beatty District.
The Company continues to enforce capital and cost discipline across the business, while prioritising the safety, health and wellbeing of its
employees and its host communities.

Factors section in AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2023 filed with the SEC.
The 2025 guidance provided in February 2024 remains unchanged. 2025 guidance reflects an anticipated 2% year-over-year growth in
production driven primarily by the expected continued ramp-up at Obuasi and modest gains across multiple mines. Total cash costs per
ounce* are expected to decrease as continued Full Asset Potential maturity and gold production efficiencies are anticipated to drive unit
costs lower. The expected increase in non-sustaining capital expenditure* reflects the anticipated incremental investment in the construction
of North Bullfrog.

GOLD HEDGES
During the first quarter of 2023, AngloGold Ashanti entered into zero-cost collars for a total of approximately 136,000oz of gold for the period
from February 2023 to December 2023 in order to manage gold price downside risk associated with Cuiabá partially transitioning to gold
concentrate sales and the high cost associated with CdS. During the second quarter of 2023, AngloGold Ashanti entered into zero-cost
collars for a total of approximately 47,000oz of gold for the period from January 2024 to June 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023,
AngloGold Ashanti entered into zero-cost collars for a total of approximately 300,000oz of gold for the period from January 2024 to
December 2024 in order to manage gold price downside risk of the high costs associated with the Brazilian operations. For the six months
ended 30 June 2024, AngloGold Ashanti recorded a realised loss of $23m in respect of these gold derivatives. At 30 June 2024, the mark-to-
market value of the remaining open positions was an unrealised loss of $18m (at 31 December 2023: an unrealised loss of $15m).

BRAZIL TSF UPDATE
With respect to the Calcinados TSF, external consultants concluded in March 2024, based on geotechnical and engineering investigations
carried out during 2023 and 2024, that the TSF meets the international standards currently considered best practice for post liquefaction
factor of safety and therefore no buttressing, or remedial measures in addition to certain measures implemented during 2023, were required
for purposes of TSF stability. The consultants’ risk assessment report was submitted to the federal Brazilian National Mining Agency
(“ANM”), which validated the consultants’ conclusions. In addition, an update to the decharacterisation plan for the Calcinados TSF is
currently being finalised, which plan will be presented to the relevant authorities.
At this time, all three of the TSFs associated with the Queiroz metallurgical plant (Calcinados, Cocuruto and Rapaunha), located in Nova
Lima, have received the required certifications by external consultants relating to on-site emergency response plans or geotechnical stability
consistent with ANM standards.
Processing and refining of gold concentrate at the Queiroz metallurgical plant is currently expected to recommence before the end of 2024.
In addition, production of by-product sulphuric acid is expected to recommence concurrently. Refining of gravimetric gold at the Queiroz
metallurgical plant will continue substantially unchanged.
SAFETY UPDATE
Tragically, a fatal light vehicle accident was recorded during May 2024 at Geita, in Tanzania, where a contractor was killed when the light
motor vehicle he was driving overturned. Mr. Obeid Katalihawa (47) passed away on 25 May 2024 following injuries sustained. Obeid, a
Tanzanian man employed by drilling contractor STAMICO at Geita for the past four years, is survived by his wife, Ms. Jane Magembe, and
his four children, Noelia (20), Rebecca (17), Lewis (11) and Levines (3). We extend our deepest sympathy to the Katalihawa family and
loved ones, as well as to Obeid’s colleagues at STAMICO and the Geita operation. An in-depth investigation into the incident has been
completed and a clear series of steps were identified to avoid future such accidents.
The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”), the broadest measure of workplace safety, increased 4% to 1.02 injuries per million
hours worked for the first half of 2024, compared to 0.98 injuries per million hours worked for the first half of 2023. By contrast, the TRIFR for
the first half of 2024 decreased 14% compared to 1.19 injuries per million hours worked for the second half of 2023. AngloGold Ashanti’s
safety strategy, with specific emphasis on the Major Hazard Management standard and critical control verifications, continued to be
implemented at all the operations, intensifying employees’ focus on safety practices in all workplaces. AngloGold Ashanti continues to
address high consequence incidents through the application of its Major Hazard Management process.
OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
In the Africa region, subsidiaries produced 593,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,220/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared
to 582,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,181/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. In the Africa region, joint ventures produced (on an
attributable basis) 158,000oz at a total cash cost* of $866/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to 151,000oz at a total cash
cost* of $880/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023.
In Ghana, at Iduapriem, gold production was 128,000oz at a total cash cost* of $943/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to
118,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,004/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was higher year-on-year mainly due to
4% higher ore tonnes processed on the back of improved equipment reliability and productivity resulting in higher feed grade to the plant.
Total cash costs per ounce* were lower year-on-year mainly due to higher gold production, partially offset by higher operating costs related
to labour and mining contractors as well as higher royalties paid.
During the second quarter of 2024, Iduapriem’s gold production was 66,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,008/oz, compared to 56,000oz at a
total cash cost* of $1,230/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
At Obuasi, gold production was 108,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,269/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to 117,000oz
at a total cash cost* of $1,020/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was lower year-on-year mainly due to lower
grades mined, partially offset by higher ore tonnes processed. The head grade declined compared to the same period in the prior year
mainly due to low development performance affecting access to planned stopes and paste fill challenges. Total cash costs per ounce* were
higher year-on-year mainly due to higher operating costs related to labour, cement, reagents, power (price and consumption) and
contractors as well as higher royalties paid, partially offset by lower consumption of other materials, engineering, and metallurgical stores.
During the second quarter of 2024, Obuasi’s gold production was 54,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,287/oz, compared to 57,000oz at a
total cash cost* of $952/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
In Guinea, at Siguiri, gold production was 128,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,791/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to
130,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,621/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was marginally lower year-on-year
mainly due to lower recovered grades as a result of lower metallurgical recoveries from the treatment of carbonaceous material. Total cash
costs per ounce* increased year-on-year mainly due to lower gold production and higher operating costs related to labour, power and
consumable stores as well as higher royalties paid, partially offset by lower mining contractor costs.
During the second quarter of 2024, Siguiri’s gold production was 80,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,550/oz, compared to 53,000oz at a
total cash cost* of $1,740/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
In Tanzania, at Geita, gold production was 229,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,032/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to
217,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,107/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was higher year-on-year mainly due to
higher grades mined and higher ore tonnes processed. Total cash costs per ounce* decreased year-on-year mainly due to higher gold
production as well as lower operating costs related to fuel and reagents, partially offset by higher operating costs related to labour and
consumable stores as well as higher royalties paid.

In the DRC, at Kibali, gold production (on an attributable basis) was 158,000oz at a total cash cost* of $866/oz in the six months ended 30
June 2024, compared to 151,000oz at a total cash cost* of $880/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was higher
year-on-year mainly due to higher ore tonnes processed and higher recovered grades. Total cash costs per ounce* were lower year-on-year
mainly due to higher gold production and lower operating costs related to mining contractors, partially offset by higher royalties paid.
During the second quarter of 2024, Kibali’s gold production (on an attributable basis) was 82,000oz at a total cash cost* of $899/oz,
compared to 88,000oz at a total cash cost* of $779/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
In the Americas region, gold production was 257,000oz at a total cash cost* of $974/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared
to 234,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,185/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023.
In Brazil, at Cuiabá (AGA Mineração), gold production was 129,000oz at a total cash cost* of $876/oz in the six months ended
30 June 2024, compared to 111,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,077/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was higher
year-on-year mainly due to higher recovered grades, partially offset by lower ore tonnes processed. Total cash costs per ounce* were lower
year-on-year mainly due to higher gold production and lower operating costs resulting from Full Asset Potential initiatives implemented
primarily regarding dilution and plant recoveries.
During the second quarter of 2024, Cuiabá’s gold production was 64,000oz at a total cash cost* of $897/oz, compared to 70,000oz at a total
cash cost* of $1,078/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
At Serra Grande, gold production was 42,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,302/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to
37,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,620/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was higher year-on-year mainly due to
higher recovered grades, partially offset by lower ore tonnes processed. Total cash costs per ounce* were lower year-on-year mainly due to
higher gold production and lower operating costs related to labour and mining contractors.
During the second quarter of 2024, Serra Grande’s gold production was 21,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,300/oz, compared to 22,000oz
at a total cash cost* of $1,457/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
In Argentina, at Cerro Vanguardia, gold production remained unchanged at 86,000oz at a total cash cost* of $954/oz in the six months
ended 30 June 2024, compared to a total cash cost* of $1,128/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Total cash costs per ounce* were
lower year-on-year mainly due to higher by-product revenue related to a higher volume of silver sold (2,192koz in the six months ended
30 June 2024 vs 1,598koz in the six months ended 30 June 2023), partially offset by higher operating costs related to labour, fuel, power,
explosives and services (annual inflation rate in Argentina for the 12-month period ended 30 June 2024 at 271.5%) as well as higher
royalties paid.
During the second quarter of 2024, Cerro Vanguardia’s gold production was 44,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,005/oz, compared to
40,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,187/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
In the Australia region, gold production (on an attributable basis) was 246,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,393/oz in the six months ended
30 June 2024, compared to 265,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,296/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. As previously mentioned, a
significant rainfall event impacted both Australian operations, and in particular Tropicana, during the first quarter of 2024. Mining and
processing activities were temporarily suspended, and site access roads were closed, limiting the delivery of all supplies.
At Sunrise Dam, gold production was 120,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,436/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to
127,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,304/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was lower year-on-year mainly due to
lower grades mined, partially offset by higher ore tonnes processed. Total cash costs per ounce* increased year-on-year mainly due to lower
gold production as well as higher underground mining and crushing costs.
During the second quarter of 2024, Sunrise Dam’s gold production was 64,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,264/oz, compared to 66,000oz
at a total cash cost* of $1,291/oz in the second quarter of 2023.
At Tropicana, gold production (on an attributable basis) was 126,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,221/oz in the six months ended 30 June
2024, compared to 138,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,182/oz in the six months ended 30 June 2023. Gold production was lower year-on-
year mainly due to the impact of the rainfall event at Tropicana which continued into the second quarter of 2024, delaying ore mining. Water
was pumped out of the Havana 5 pit, which had been scheduled to be the main source of open pit ore in the first half of 2024. The operation
processed proportionally more stockpiled ore during the second quarter of 2024 and ore from Havana 5 has been deferred into the second
half of 2024. The impact on this year’s gold production at Tropicana is expected to be partially offset in the second half of the year, as
higher-grade ore from the Havana 5 pit becomes available and the Havana 4 pit ramps up production. Total cash costs per ounce* increased
year-on-year mainly due to lower production and higher operating costs related to underground mining.
During the second quarter of 2024, Tropicana’s gold production (on an attributable basis) was 73,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,168/oz,
compared to 74,000oz at a total cash cost* of $1,174/oz in the second quarter of 2023.

UPDATE ON CAPITAL PROJECTS
Obuasi
Underhand Drift and Fill Trial Update
Obuasi is currently undertaking a trial of the Underhand Drift and Fill (“UHDF”) mining method, which is a more selective mining method that
follows the local variations to the orebody and is considered to provide greater control on excavation stability, with reduced dilution and
increased mining recovery outcomes.
Milestones achieved:
•Parallel drive was successfully backfilled with paste in April 2024;
•Geotechnical drilling into the paste in May 2024 confirmed the paste had achieved the required strength after the targeted 14 days
of curing. SLAG-based binder was used within the Pastefill;
•First blast of development under paste-filled drive occurred in May 2024;
•Development drive under paste completed in May 2024 with a total of 29 meters developed under paste;
•Proof of concept trial of UHDF considered a success;
•Design for full-scale UHDF trial area was reviewed and approved. Development has commenced; and
•3,300L- 336 development commenced in June 2024. This drive will serve as a platform for 8 meters uppers to be mined.
Next steps and progress update:
•Continue with the development of the full-scale trial area on the 3,500 level;
•Development planned to reach the orebody contact by the end of August 2024 to allow ore drive development to commence;
•First reef drive development is expected to commence in September 2024 to the south; and
•In parallel, grade control (RC) drilling in the footwall drive on the 3,500 level is expected to commence in September 2024 to better
define the orebody to the north and lower section of the orebody.
Phase 3
The Obuasi redevelopment project, which was approved in 2018 as a phased approach to return the Obuasi mine to service, has entered
the final six months of its project phase. This last phase, known as “phase 3”, is an infrastructure project around the 1,500 meter deep KMS
shaft. The objective of this phase is to provide direct access to high-grade Block 11, while also providing additional rock and materials
handling capacity to other mining areas. Phase 3 is on track for completion by the end of 2024 and is expected to add another 6,000tpd
hoisting capacity for the mine, improving overall operating flexibility.
Phase 3 achieved the following milestones:
•Commissioned the pumping system allowing the mine to manage up to a 100-year rainfall event without impacting production;
•Completed reaming of the 945 meters vent raise, setting a record for raising bore and allowing the deeper parts of the mine to be
ventilated;
•Completed the entire 41-level material handling system; and
•Dewatered and re-entered 51-level.
The remaining milestones for the next six months before the expected completion at the end of 2024 include:
•Completing of two new ore passes between upper mine and the rail transport level;
•Commissioning and licensing of the 41-level rail and material handling system;
•Installing and commissioning of a lower 51-level shaft loading system; and
•Completing various shaft bottom refurbishments, effectively completing the last level of the KMS return to service.
Tropicana
The Havana underground feasibility study continued to progress through the first half of 2024. A final investment decision is expected to be
made this year, with the potential to start development of portal access by year end. Development of a link drive to provide access to
additional drill areas between Tropicana and Havana continued during the first half of 2024. The link drive is expected to ultimately link up
with the Havana underground.
Tropicana ESG Renewables
The Tropicana renewable energy project remains on track with mechanical installation of the solar farm completed in the second quarter of
2024. Electrical installation is underway and commissioning of the solar system is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024. Components for
wind turbines one and two have been delivered to the site with delivery of the components for turbines three and four expected to be
complete by the end of the third quarter of 2024.
The Tropicana renewable energy project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. The facility is expected to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions at Tropicana by 65,000 tonnes per annum on average over the 10 -year life of the power purchase agreement.
Nevada
North Bullfrog Project (“NBP”)
At the conclusion of the feasibility study during the fourth quarter of 2023, the NBP received approval from AngloGold Ashanti’s board of
directors to advance detailed engineering. The 30% engineering completeness milestone was achieved at the end of the second quarter of
2024 per the planned engineering schedule. Permitting processes are underway for the NBP with the initial round of public comments on the
plan of operations received during the second quarter of 2024. The Company is addressing these comments and developing plan
alternatives for incorporation into the US Bureau of Land Management’s (“BLM”) Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(ADEIS) that will be published immediately ahead of the public scoping meetings that will be held at key communities within Nye County,
Nevada.
Merlin
The Merlin project is in the early stages of a pre-feasibility study (“PFS”), which is focused on options analysis. Work during the first half of
2024 has focused on resource definition drilling in Merlin and developing options for mining based on drilling results completed through the
end of the first quarter of 2024. The PFS programme is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

licence application related to the Quebradona project, and the confirmation of such decision in April 2022, AngloGold Ashanti has been
working to complete the data acquisition required by ANLA. AngloGold Ashanti is in the process of preparing a new Environmental Impact
Assessment in connection with its environmental licence application for the project, which is currently expected to be submitted to ANLA in
2027. In addition, an optimised feasibility study is currently underway to implement improvements in water management, operational
flexibility, maintainability and constructability.
CORPORATE UPDATE
Changes to Board of Directors
Effective 22 July 2024, Mr. Bruce Cleaver and Ms. Nicky Newton-King joined AngloGold Ashanti’s board of directors as independent, non-
executive directors. Mr. Cleaver serves as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Social, Ethics and Sustainability Committee,
and Ms. Newton-King serves as a member of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and the Social, Ethics and Sustainability
Committee.
AngloGold Ashanti increases its investment in G2 Goldfields Inc.
On 1 August 2024, AngloGold Ashanti completed the acquisition of an additional 8,965,365 common shares of G2 Goldfields Inc., a
Canadian gold mining company with exploration properties in Guyana, South America, for a consideration of approximately CAD $13m. This
acquisition increased AngloGold Ashanti’s ownership interest in G2 Goldfields Inc. to 15% (on a non-diluted basis).
Proposed Tarkwa/Iduapriem Joint Venture
In March 2023, AngloGold Ashanti announced the proposed joint venture between the Iduapriem mine and Gold Fields neighbouring Tarkwa
mine in Ghana, that has the potential to create Africa’s largest gold mine. In addition to leveraging operating efficiencies to unlock higher
grades and enabling an extension of life to at least 18 years, the proposed joint venture is expected to create compelling shared value for all
stakeholders. Since the announcement, AngloGold Ashanti and Gold Fields have been in ongoing engagement with the Government of
Ghana with respect to the proposed transaction. While significant progress has been made, agreement has not yet been reached. The
Company will continue to keep the market updated on any significant developments in this regard.
Reporting Update
AngloGold Ashanti qualifies as a foreign private issuer (“FPI”) in the United States for purposes of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, is filing annual reports on Form 20-F with the SEC and is furnishing current reports on Form 6-K with the SEC as the SEC has
prescribed for FPIs.
As previously announced, AngloGold Ashanti is planning to voluntarily file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC (i.e., the forms that the SEC has prescribed for more comprehensive reporting by US domestic
issuers), instead of filing on the reporting forms available to FPIs. AngloGold Ashanti will communicate the proposed date of such transition
to voluntary reporting on US domestic forms to the market in advance of that transition. Until it commences voluntary reporting on US
domestic forms, AngloGold Ashanti will provide full financial and operational updates, including unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial statements, on a quarterly basis. Such quarterly financial and operational updates will be furnished on current reports on Form 6-K
to the SEC.
EXPLORATION UPDATE
For detailed disclosure on the exploration work done during the six months ended 30 June 2024, see the Exploration Update document on

Non-GAAP disclosure
From time to time AngloGold Ashanti may publicly disclose certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures in the course of its financial
presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls and otherwise.
In this document, AngloGold Ashanti presents the financial items “total cash costs”, “total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “all-
in sustaining costs per ounce”, “all-in costs”, “all-in costs per ounce”, “average gold price received per ounce”, “sustaining capital
expenditure” and “non-sustaining capital expenditure”, which have been determined using industry guidelines and practices and are not
measures under IFRS. In addition, AngloGold Ashanti also presents the financial items “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted net debt” and “free
cash flow” which are not measures under IFRS either. An investor should not consider these items in isolation or as alternatives to cost of
sales, gold income, capital expenditure, profit (loss) before taxation, total borrowings, cash flows from operating activities or any other
measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Group’s performance. The Group uses certain
Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing the business and may provide users of this financial information with additional
meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in
addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported operating results or any other measure of performance prepared in accordance with
IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures that other companies use.
AngloGold Ashanti’s reporting for subsidiaries has shifted from an attributable basis of reporting to a consolidated basis of reporting. The
change in reporting has only impacted subsidiaries with non-controlling interests (i.e., Siguiri and Cerro Vanguardia), whereas joint
operations (i.e., Tropicana) which are proportionately consolidated remain unaffected. Joint ventures (i.e., Kibali) which are accounted for
under the equity method also remain unaffected and their gold production, related unit revenue and cost metrics continue to be reported on
an attributable basis. As a result of this change in reporting, certain adjustments to exclude non-controlling interests on gold production,
related unit revenue and cost metrics have been discontinued. The metrics for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2023
have been adjusted to reflect this change in reporting.
All-in sustaining costs and all-in costs
During 2018, the World Gold Council (“WGC”), an industry body, published a revised Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in
costs” metrics, which gold mining companies can use to supplement their overall Non-GAAP disclosure. The WGC worked closely with its
members (including AngloGold Ashanti) to develop these Non-GAAP measures which are intended to provide further transparency into the
full cost associated with producing gold. It is expected that these metrics, in particular, the “all-in sustaining cost” and “all-in cost” metrics
which AngloGold Ashanti provides herein, will be helpful to investors, governments, local communities and other stakeholders in
understanding the economics of gold mining.
“All-in sustaining costs” is a Non-GAAP measure which is an extension of the existing “total cash costs” metric and incorporates all costs
related to sustaining production and in particular, recognises sustaining capital expenditures associated with developing and maintaining
gold mines. In addition, this metric includes the cost associated with Corporate Office structures that support these operations, the
community and environmental rehabilitation costs attendant with responsible mining and any exploration and evaluation cost associated with
sustaining current operations. “All-in sustaining costs per ounce - subsidiaries” ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the consolidated US dollar
value of this cost metric by the consolidated ounces of gold sold. “All-in sustaining costs per ounce - joint ventures” ($/oz) is calculated by
dividing the attributable US dollar value of this cost metric by the attributable ounces of gold sold.
“All-in costs” is a Non-GAAP measure comprising “all-in sustaining costs” including additional costs which reflect the varying costs of
producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine including costs incurred at new operations and costs related to growth projects at existing
operations, which are expected to increase production. “All-in costs per ounce - subsidiaries” ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the consolidated
US dollar value of this cost metric by the consolidated ounces of gold sold. “All-in costs per ounce - joint ventures” ($/oz) is calculated by
dividing the attributable US dollar value of this cost metric by the attributable ounces of gold sold.
Total cash costs
“Total cash costs” is calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Gold Institute industry standard and industry practice and is a Non-
GAAP measure. The Gold Institute, which has been incorporated into the National Mining Association, is a non-profit international
association of miners, refiners, bullion suppliers and manufacturers of gold products, which developed a uniform format for reporting total
cash costs on a per ounce basis. The guidance was first adopted in 1996 and revised in November 1999.
“Total cash costs” is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, include costs for all mining, processing,
onsite administration costs, royalties and production taxes, as well as contributions from by-products, but exclude amortisation of tangible,
intangible and right of use assets, rehabilitation costs and other non-cash costs, retrenchment costs, corporate administration, marketing
and related costs, capital costs and exploration costs. “Total cash costs per ounce - subsidiaries” ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the
consolidated US dollar value of this cost metric by the consolidated ounces of gold produced. “Total cash costs per ounce - joint
ventures” ($/oz) is calculated by dividing the attributable US dollar value of this cost metric by the attributable ounces of gold produced.
Average gold price received per ounce
“Average gold price received per ounce” is a Non-GAAP measure which gives an indication of revenue earned per ounce of gold sold and
includes gold income and realised non-hedge derivatives in its calculation and serves as a benchmark of performance against the market
spot gold price. “Average gold price received per ounce - subsidiaries” is calculated by dividing the consolidated US dollar value of this
revenue metric by the consolidated ounces of gold sold. “Average gold price received per ounce - joint ventures” is calculated by dividing the
attributable US dollar value of this revenue metric by the attributable ounces of gold sold.
Sustaining capital expenditure
“Sustaining capital (expenditure)” is a Non-GAAP measure comprising capital expenditure incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at
their current productive capacity in order to achieve constant planned levels of productive output and capital expenditure to extend useful
June 2024 Earnings Release - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com | ||
23 |
lives of existing production assets. This includes replacement of vehicles, plant and machinery, Mineral Reserve development, deferred
stripping and capital expenditure related to financial benefit initiatives, safety, health and the environment.
Non-sustaining capital expenditure
“Non-sustaining capital (expenditure)” is a Non-GAAP measure comprising capital expenditure incurred at new operations and capital
expenditure related to ‘major projects’ at existing operations where these projects will materially increase production.
While the Gold Institute provided definitions for the calculation of “total cash costs” and the WGC published a revised Guidance Note on “all-
in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” metrics during 2018, the calculation of “total cash costs”, “total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining
costs”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “all-in costs” and “all-in costs per ounce” may vary significantly among gold mining companies,
and by themselves do not necessarily provide a basis for comparison with other gold mining companies. However, AngloGold Ashanti
believes that “total cash costs”, “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” in total by mine and per ounce by mine as well as “average gold
price received per ounce”, “sustaining capital expenditure” and “non-sustaining capital expenditure” are useful indicators to investors and
management as they provide:
•an indication of profitability, efficiency and cash flows;
•the trend in costs as the mining operations mature over time on a consistent basis; and
•an internal benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other mines, both within the Group and at other gold mining
companies.
Management prepares its internal management reporting documentation, for use and decision making by the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM), on a total basis. The key metrics are based on the total ounces, gold income, “total cash costs”, “all-in costs”, “all-in
sustaining costs”, “sustaining capital expenditure” and “non-sustaining capital expenditure” from each operation and as a consequence
includes AngloGold Ashanti’s share of the “total cash costs”, “all-in costs”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “sustaining capital expenditure” and “non-
sustaining capital expenditure” of its joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method. In a capital intensive industry, this basis
allows management to make operating and resource allocation decisions on a comparable basis between mining operations irrespective of
whether they are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method. This basis of calculating the metrics is consistent with the WGC’s
Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” metrics.
Although AngloGold Ashanti has shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with its ownership interests in its equity-
accounted joint ventures and review the underlying operating results including “total cash costs”, “all-in costs”, “all-in sustaining costs”,
“sustaining capital expenditure” and “non-sustaining capital expenditure” with them at each reporting period, it does not have direct control
over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses, nor does it have a proportionate legal interest in each financial statement line item.
AngloGold Ashanti’s use of “total cash costs”, “all-in costs”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “sustaining capital expenditure” and “non-sustaining
capital expenditure” on a total basis, is not intended to imply that it has any such control or proportionate legal interest, but rather to reflect
the Non-GAAP measures on a basis consistent with its internal and external segmental reporting.
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, includes profit (loss) before taxation,
amortisation of tangible, intangible and right of use assets, retrenchment costs at the operations, finance income, other gains (losses), care
and maintenance costs, finance costs and unwinding of obligations, impairment and derecognition of assets, impairment of investments,
profit (loss) on disposal of assets and investments, gain (loss) on unrealised non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts, fair
value adjustments, repurchase premium and costs on settlement of issued bonds and the share of associates’ EBITDA. The Adjusted
EBITDA calculation is based on the formula included in AngloGold Ashanti’s Revolving Credit Facility Agreements for compliance with the
debt covenant formula.
Adjusted net debt
“Adjusted net debt” is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, includes total borrowings adjusted for
the unamortised portion of borrowing costs and IFRS 16 lease adjustments; less cash restricted for use and cash and cash equivalents (net
of bank overdraft). The Adjusted net debt calculation is based on the formula included in AngloGold Ashanti’s Revolving Credit Facility
Agreements for compliance with the debt covenant formula.
Free cash flow
“Free cash flow” is a Non-GAAP measure and, as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti, includes cash inflow from operating
activities, less cash outflow from investing activities and after finance costs, adjusted to exclude once-off acquisitions, disposals and
corporate restructuring costs, and movements in restricted cash.

Forward-looking statements
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, total 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 milestones, commencement and completion of
commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production projects and the completion of acquisitions, dispositions or joint venture transactions, AngloGold
Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources and capital expenditures, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic 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 financial reports, operations, economic performance
and financial condition. These forward-looking statements or forecasts are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect our current beliefs and expectations concerning future events and
generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words, phrases and expressions such as “believe”, “expect”, “aim”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “predict”, “project”,
“estimate”, “likely”, “may”, “might”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “seek”, “plan”, “scheduled”, “possible”, “continue”, “potential”, “outlook”, “target” or other similar words, phrases, and
expressions; provided that the absence thereof does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are or may be
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements or forecasts involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual
results, performance, actions or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance, actions 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, performance, actions or achievements could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a
result of, among other factors, changes in economic, social, political and market conditions, including related to inflation or international conflicts, 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, any supply chain disruptions, any public health crises, pandemics or epidemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), the failure to maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting or effective disclosure controls and procedures, the inability to remediate one or more material weaknesses, or the discovery of additional material
weaknesses, in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and other business and operational risks and challenges and other factors, including mining accidents. For a
discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2023 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, performance, actions or achievements to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on AngloGold Ashanti’s future results,
performance, actions or achievements. 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.
