Financial and operating review
OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER AND YEAR
The December quarter was marked by a steady
operational performance, with production down slightly to
1.494Moz, and excellent cost control, with total cash costs
2% lower at $278/oz. Together with good participation in
the gold price rally, this translated into considerably
improved adjusted headline earnings, up 86% to $41m
from the restated $22m reported for the third quarter of
2005.
Furthermore, the adjusted headline earnings of $41m are
after deducting three significant and largely once-off
charges. First, the full implementation of the new IAS 16
standard this quarter required a reassessment of the
useful lives of the company’s fixed assets, which resulted
in a $13m increase in the depreciation charge. Second,
revisions to rehabilitation cost estimates required a $28m
increase in these provisions. Finally, tax provisions for
Africa and South America were increased by $52m,
although a $48m tax credit in Ghana mostly offset this
increase.
Operationally, the African assets reported generally solid
performances, including 2% production improvements at
both Obuasi in Ghana and Siguiri in Guinea, and a 48%
production increase at Yatela to 31,000oz. As anticipated
and reported previously, production at Geita continued to
decline this quarter to 120,000oz, where it is expected to
remain for the duration of the cut-back of the Nyankanga
pit – likely until the third quarter of 2006. Total cash costs
at Geita, however, declined 8%, reflecting the ongoing
benefit of the successful transition to owner-mining, the
full gains of which should be realised by mid-year.
The South African operations reported a 1% decline in
production to 669,000oz after an expected 7% decrease
at Kopanang and 13% lower production from Tau Lekoa,
where a restructuring plan is currently underway to yield a
better performance going forward. These declines
partially counteracted the good operational results at
Mponeng, where production rose 12% and total cash
costs declined 9%, and at TauTona, where production
was up 3% and total cash costs were down 4%. A
sustained focus on the cost savings initiatives highlighted
earlier in the year resulted in significantly improved South
African total cash costs of R56,198/kg, marking the eighth
consecutive quarter of managing these costs to around
the R60,000/kg level.
In respect of the international operations, the Brazilian
assets
AngloGold Ashanti Mineração and Serra
Grande – reported production generally in line with that of
the previous quarter, although total cash costs increased
by 10% and 9%, respectively, partly as a result of the
significant appreciation over the quarter of the Brazilian
real. In Australia, production at Sunrise Dam declined as
expected to 92,000oz, as mining continues in the low-
grade northern section of the pit, where it will likely remain
for the next nine months. Production at Cripple Creek &
Victor in the US decreased 8% due to a decline in heap
leach recoveries, while the high cost of diesel and
other consumables resulted in a 3% increase in total
cash costs to $239/oz.
For the year ended 31 December 2005, gold
production was 6% higher at 6.166Moz, largely
attributable to the inclusion of a full year’s production
from the Ashanti assets, in addition to record
performances from Sunrise Dam in the first two
quarters of the year and 28% and 17% production
improvements at Morila and Mponeng, respectively.
This overall increase was offset to some degree,
however, by reduced production from key South
African assets including Great Noligwa and TauTona.
In the effort to mitigate the effects of ongoing cost
pressures, including the higher oil price, generally
increasing cost of consumables and strong local
currencies, the company announced earlier in the
year a stringent savings plan designed to eliminate
$110m in costs. The total cost-saving realised for
2005, at $160m, was well in excess of this target,
with the bulk of these derived from the South African
operations. The consequence of this intervention has
been to limit total cash cost escalation to 6% for the
year, to $281/oz.
In 2005, the company also achieved a significant
decrease in the fatality frequency rate, down 26%
year-on-year. While the LTIF rate regressed by 3%
to 6.75 per million man hours worked, this should be
compared with the international benchmark of 6.
Four operations were lost time injury-free for the
fourth quarter and Cripple Creek & Victor has now
achieved 25 months without a lost-time injury.
A dividend of 62 South African cents (10 US cents)
per share has been declared for the six months
ended 31 December 2005. This represents a similar
dividend payout level to adjusted headline earnings,
as per the interim year declaration, resulting in a total
dividend for the year of 232 South African cents
(35 US cents) per share. Given that AngloGold
Ashanti is in its highest-ever capital expenditure
phase, it will continue to manage capital expenditure
in line with profitability and cash flow, and its
approach to the dividend on the basis of prudent
financial management.
Looking ahead, production for the first quarter is
estimated to be 1.4Moz at an average total cash cost
of $311/oz, assuming the following exchange rates:
$/R6.25, A$/$0.76, BRL/$2.29 and
Argentinean peso/$2.96. Production is forecast to be
down quarter-on-quarter primarily due to a reduced
number of production shifts in the South Africa region
(69 production days in the first quarter of 2006 as
compared to 76 in the prior quarter). Capital
expenditure is estimated at $234m and will be
managed in line with profitability and cash flow.

background image
The table below provides guidance for the year, in respect
of forecast ounces, cash costs and capital expenditure. In
2006, AngloGold Ashanti expects production to decline
marginally to within a range of 5.9Moz to 6.1Moz, as
Bibiani phases into a tailings only operation in
combination with the forecast closure of Savuka. Total
cash costs are anticipated to be between $285/oz and
$293/oz, based on the following exchange rate
assumptions: $/R6.50, A$/$0.76, BRL/$2.40 and
Argentinean peso/$2.96. Capital expenditure for the year
is estimated to be between $786m and $818m and will be
managed in line with profitability and cash flow. The
depreciation and amortisation charge for 2006 is
estimated to be approximately $577m.
Based on current business planning, in 2007 AngloGold
Ashanti expects its gold production to increase to between
6.3Moz and 6.5Moz. This growth will be driven primarily
by forecast increased production at the following
operations: in South Africa, Moab production is
expected to increase by approximately 80% in line
with the development plan; in Australia, Sunrise Dam
production should increase by approximately 25% as
the higher grade GQ lobe is accessed; in Brazil at
AngloGold Ashanti Mineração, production is
anticipated to increase by almost 40% as a
consequence of the Cuiabá deepening project; in
Ghana, both Iduapriem and Obuasi should see
planned increases in production of between 10% and
15% respectively; and in Tanzania at the Geita mine,
production is forecast to rise by over 50% due to
mining in the higher grade Nyankanga Cut 4.
These forecast increases in production offset planned
reduced production at Tau Lekoa in South Africa,
Bibiani in Ghana, Yatela in Mali and Cripple Creek &
Victor in the United States.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER
SOUTH AFRICA
At Great Noligwa, volume mined remained stable at
last quarter’s levels. Yield fell by 5% after unplanned
waste was trammed from the reef, also leading to a 6%
increase in tons treated. Gold production was
consequently unchanged quarter-on-quarter at 5,274kg
(170,000oz), while total cash costs declined 10% to
R50,311/kg ($240/oz), predominantly from an increase
in by-product revenue. Gross profit adjusted for the
effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives increased
by 20% to R164m ($25m), as a result of improved
costs and a higher price received.
The Lost-Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) was
9.59 lost-time injuries per million hours worked (14.12
for the previous quarter).
At
Kopanang, efficiency improvements helped
increase volume mined by 2% this quarter, while yield
fell 7% to planned levels. Gold production also fell 7%
to 3,664kg (118,000oz) as a result of this yield decline.
Total cash costs increased 4% to R55,227/kg
($263/oz), after the negative effect of the lower gold
production was partially mitigated by improved cost
savings initiatives. Gross profit adjusted for the effect
of unrealised non-hedge derivatives improved by 27%
to R118m ($18m), primarily as a result of an improved
price received, in addition to the implementation of
effective cost-saving measures.
The LTIFR was 10.91(9.52).
Tau Lekoa’s volume mined decreased 5% for the
quarter as a result of an effort to improve the mining
mix by decreasing the number of unprofitable panels
mined. Although tons treated increased 3% due to an
improved focus on reducing lock-up, yield declined
16% and gold production was consequently 13% lower
at 1,904kg (61,000oz).
The cost of treating increased tons offset the positive
effect of implemented cost-saving initiatives and
together with the decreased gold production, resulted
in an 18% increase in total cash costs to R92,559/kg
($441/oz). Gross loss adjusted for the effect of
unrealised non-hedge derivatives increased to R30m
($5m) although a restructuring plan is currently
underway to restore Tau Lekoa to profit-generating
status.
The LTIFR was 22.33 (12.12).
Moab Khotsong’s improved gold production of 344kg
(11,000oz) is not included in the South Africa region's
production, as revenue continues to be capitalised
against pre-production costs. Commercial production
is scheduled for 2006.
The LTIFR was 10.32 (14.69).
At Mponeng, gold production was 12% higher at
4,436kg (143,000oz) in the fourth quarter, driven
primarily by higher volume mined and increased
development. As a result of the improved
production, total cash costs, at R51,902/kg
($247/oz), declined 9% and gross profit adjusted
for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
increased substantially to R162m ($25m), in part
as a result of a better price received and improved
grade.
The LTIFR was 13.98 (8.94).
Savuka’s volume mined declined 43% this
quarter, after low-grade mining was halted and the
operation shifted to single daily shifts, in line with a
revised mining plan. Consequently, gold
production fell 31% to 770kg (25,000oz) and yield
rose 21% to 9.68g/t, mainly due to a 19% increase
in face values. The lower volumes treated,
together with the implementation of cost savings
initiatives, resulted in a 21% decrease in total cash
costs to R62,419/kg ($297/oz). Gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives was R7m ($1m), up from a loss of R2m
($0.3m) in the third quarter. Savuka has entered
into orderly closure mode, although closure will be
managed in line with the operation’s profitability
and will be reviewed on a regular basis.
The LTIFR was 18.28 (9.55).
At TauTona, volume mined improved 14% due to
increased face advance and face length from new
panels in two key areas, RHI and VCR Area A.
Tons milled rose by 14% as a consequence of
higher stoping and development rates, although as
a result of the waste increase associated with
higher development tonnages, yield fell 10%.
Gold production improved 3% to 3,970kg
(128,000oz) and total cash costs, which were
favourably impacted by a better cost-saving
performance as well as the increased production,
declined 4% to R52,087/kg ($248/oz). Gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives improved 5% to R85m ($13m).
The LTIFR was 11.60 (12.60).
ARGENTINA
At Cerro Vanguardia (92.5% attributable), gold
production decreased 2% to 51,000oz primarily as
a consequence of lower volumes treated this
quarter. Total cash costs dropped 14% to
$173/oz, owing to higher feed grade for both gold
and silver, the latter positively affecting the by-
product credit. Gross profit adjusted for the effect
of unrealised non-hedge derivatives, at $9m, was
80% higher than that of the previous quarter as a
Quarterly Report December 2005 - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com                                                         3

consequence of both the improved cash costs and a
significantly better price received.
The LTIFR was 4.04 (2.25).
AUSTRALIA
Production at Sunrise Dam decreased 9% quarter-on-
quarter to 92,000oz, mainly as a consequence of an
expected drop in grade to 2.69g/t. In spite of these
declines however, total cash costs improved 27% to
A$310/oz ($231/oz), as a consequence of ore stockpile
cost adjustments. Gross profit adjusted for the effect
of unrealised non-hedge derivatives increased 67% to
A$10m ($7m) due to the decline in total cash costs and
an improved price received.
Mining continued this quarter in the lower-grade
Sunrise Shear Zone, where it will remain for the next
nine months before beginning to increase in the fourth
quarter of 2006. The underground project, where
development inclines and trial mining are currently
accessing higher-grade ore, continues to supplement
commercial production. During the quarter, 1,350
metres of underground capital development and 225
metres of operational development were completed.
The LTIFR was 4.84 (2.33).
BRAZIL
At AngloGold Ashanti Mineração, gold production
increased 2% to 66,000oz due to higher grades at the
Córrego do Sìtio and Cuiabá mines. Total cash costs,
at $190/oz, increased 10% for the quarter, although a
higher sulphuric acid credit and the improved gold
production helped to counter the effects of the
appreciation of the Brazilian real and increased costs
associated with heap leaching activities. Gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives, at $12m, was in line with that of the
previous quarter, as an improved price received helped
to offset the effect of the increased total cash costs.
The LTIFR was 4.41 (3.69).
At Serra Grande (50% attributable), gold production
was maintained at last quarter’s level of 24,000oz.
Total cash costs, at $174/oz, rose 9%, due to higher
maintenance costs, slightly lower grades and the
appreciation of the Brazilian real. Gross profit adjusted
for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
increased 50% to $6m as a result of an improved price
received and a higher quantity of gold sold.
The LTIFR was 4.87 (0.00).
GHANA
At Bibiani, production declined 11% to 25,000oz
but remained stronger than anticipated as the
relatively higher-grade stockpile and satellite pits,
originally forecast to be depleted in October,
continued to produce through December. Yield,
however, declined quarter-on-quarter due to the
treatment of comparatively lower-grade stockpiles
and tailings material, which, together with the
production decline, resulted in a total cash cost
increase of 8% to $334/oz. Gross loss adjusted
for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
increased from $4m to $6m this quarter, as a
result of both lower production and higher cash
costs.
Going forward, Bibiani will operate as a tailings-
only mine. As a result of this expected decline in
production and in line with the company’s global
cost-cutting drive, the Bibiani cost structure is
currently being optimised to ensure an appropriate
fit with the future output decline.
An impairment charge of $38m was recorded in
the quarter, the result of a changed mine plan.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (1.13).
At Iduapriem (85% attributable), gold production
was in line with that of the previous quarter at
44,000oz. Yield declined 4%, as mining faces
were temporarily moved into lower-grade areas to
accommodate implementation of a key
recommendation from the mine-to-mill study noted
last quarter. Total cash costs rose 8% to $397/oz
and gross loss adjusted for the effect of unrealised
non-hedge derivatives increased to $5m, both
primarily as a result of the lower yield.
The LTIFR was 1.18 (0.00).
Gold production at Obuasi improved 2% to
100,000oz this quarter, mainly due to a 3%
increase in ore treated. Total cash costs,
however, were up 5% to $357/oz due to the
negative impact of heavy rains on the tailings
operation in October as well as a temporary
inability of the loaders to adequately feed the mill.
This problem is being addressed. Gross loss
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives, at $5m, was unchanged quarter-on-
quarter.
During the quarter, the government of Ghana
reduced tax rates from 28% to 25%. This resulted
in a tax credit of $48m, which was offset by an
increase in tax provisions in other jurisdictions.
The LTIFR was 2.28 (1.12).

REPUBLIC OF GUINEA
At Siguiri (85% attributable), gold production, at
62,000oz, improved marginally on that of the previous
quarter after a better plant performance resulted in a
16% increase in tons treated. Total cash costs for the
period were nevertheless up 10% to $341/oz due to a
4% decline in grade. Gross profit adjusted for the
effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives, at $1m,
was in line with that of the previous quarter.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (1.47).
MALI
At Morila (40% attributable), production decreased
16% to 58,000oz, due to declines in both recovered
grade and tonnage throughput, which was adversely
affected by power supply problems and pipeline
constraints that have since been addressed. Total
cash costs, at $227/oz, rose 17% quarter-on-quarter as
a result of the lower production but gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives increased by 14% to $8m, as the
production decrease was offset by an improved price
received.
The LTIFR was 3.52 (2.87).
At Sadiola (38% attributable), gold production
decreased 2% to 43,000oz due to lower tonnage
throughput, which resulted from increased treatment of
harder sulphides versus the lower-grade oxide material
that was primarily treated in the third quarter. Given
the higher processing costs associated with treating
sulphide material, total cash costs increased 18% to
$284/oz. Gross profit adjusted for the effect of
unrealised non-hedge derivatives, at $7m, was
consistent with that of the previous quarter, as the
higher price received partially offset the effects of lower
gold production and higher total cash costs.
The LTIFR was 1.03 (2.77).
At Yatela (40% attributable), production increased 48%
to 31,000oz, as the heavy rains of the third quarter
abated in the fourth, allowing tonnage stacked to return
to normal levels. A significant grade improvement also
contributed to the production increase, and total cash
costs declined 27% to $208/oz as a result. Gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives increased significantly to $6m due to the
stronger production and a higher price received.
The LTIFR was 3.77 (1.75).
NAMIBIA
At Navachab, gold production was 5% higher at
22,000oz due to an increase in recovered grade.
Total cash costs consequently declined 3% to
$259/oz. Gross profit adjusted for the effect of
unrealised non-hedge derivatives rose by 75% to
$7m due to the higher production and an improved
price received.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (4.01).
TANZANIA
Production at Geita declined 12% as anticipated to
120,000oz due to an 11% decrease in recovered
grade. Grades and production at Geita are
expected to remain at this level while the current
cut-back of the Nyankanga pit is completed, and is
likely to gradually increase in the third quarter of
2006. In spite of the 12% production decline, total
cash costs decreased this quarter by 8% to
$326/oz, reflecting the ongoing benefits of the
successful transition to owner-mining. Gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives improved to $7m in the fourth quarter
from a loss of $1m in the third, primarily as a result
of the decline in total cash costs, in addition to a
higher price received.
The LTIFR was 0.81 (0.82).
USA
At Cripple Creek & Victor (67% ownership with
100% interest in production until initial loans are
repaid), gold production decreased 8% to
85,000oz due to a decline in heap leach
recoveries. Total cash costs rose 3% to $239/oz,
primarily as a result of higher diesel and
component part prices, in addition to the lower
production and a decrease in recovered grade.
Gross profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised
non-hedge derivatives, at $4m, remained in line
with that of the previous quarter primarily due to a
better price received.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (0.00). In December, CC&V
achieved 25 months without a lost-time accident.
Notes:
• All references to price received includes realised non-hedge derivatives.
• In the case of joint venture operations, all production and financial results are attributable to AngloGold Ashanti.
• Rounding of figures may result in computational discrepancies.

Exploration
Total exploration expenditure amounted to $19m
($11m expensed, $8m capitalised) during the fourth
quarter, compared to $25m ($12m expensed, $13m
capitalised) in the previous quarter.
At Morila in Mali, three deflections were drilled from
each of two primary holes, which generally
confirmed the high grades previously intersected on
the Samacline target. A regional drilling programme
to test structural and geochemical targets and
consisting of 14 holes, has commenced.
At Siguiri, in Guinea, resource delineation drilling
continued at the Kintinian prospect, located 5km
from the plant. Mineralisation has been identified as
open-ended to the north west and south east of the
prospect and delineation drilling in 2006 is targeting
the addition of at least 1Moz in new resources at
Siguiri.
In Tanzania at Geita, drilling confirmed the down-
dip extension of the North East Extension Zone at
Geita Hill. Infill-drilling has commenced in the far
western corner of the licence area, as has testing of
the potential mineralisation continuity between
Ridge 8, Star and Comet.
In Brazil, ongoing drilling at Córrego do Sìtio
concentrated on the northern Laranjeiras orebody,
where promising down-plunge continuity has been
established. Underground development at Cachorro
Bravo has confirmed down-dip continuity of the
mineralisation at consistent grades and thickness.
Greenfields exploration activities continued in the
fourth quarter in Australia, Tanzania, Alaska, China,
Mongolia, Colombia, Russia and the DRC, with an
expensed expenditure of $10m.
At the Kimin project in the DRC, drilling in the
Adidi/D7 Kanga (Mongbwalu) sector continues to
encounter significant gold mineralisation. An
accelerated follow-up drill programme in 2006 is
targeting the addition of 3Moz of resource (in the
inferred category) at Adidi/D7 Kanga.
The definition of additional drill targets, with the
potential to host further gold resources, in both
the Mongbwalu area and elsewhere within the
Kilo greenstone belt will be assisted by the
completion of an airborne geophysical survey
around the end of the first quarter 2006.
In the USA in Alaska, preliminary grade
indications at the Lost Mine South project are
approximately 10g/t over a 3 metres width and
20g/t over narrower widths at the Terra project.
Drilling is planned to begin at the Lost Mine
South project in the first quarter of 2006.
Exploration activities in Colombia continued to
focus on regional reconnaissance, drill target
definition, permitting, and drill site preparation in
anticipation of the commencement of a drilling
programme in early 2006.
In Australia, wide-spaced reverse circulation
drilling at the Tropicana Prospect has extended
the strike length to over one kilometre.
Significant new intersections include 32 metres
at 6.6g/t from 44 metres, and 9 metres at 6.3g/t
from 33
metres.
A geophysical survey, in
addition to limited drilling, has identified a
parallel zone of mineralisation.
At the Rusty Nail prospect, geophysical
surveying results were consistent with existing
soil samples. Limited follow-up of six existing
prospects located within a 30 kilometre radius of
the Tropicana Prospect was completed during
the quarter.
In Mongolia, an epithermal vein system drill-
tested at Elgen Uul in the south eastern Gobi
yielded low-grade gold intercepts. Testing of
two further epithermal targets in Mongolia is
planned for 2006.

Review of the gold market
The final quarter of the year saw the gold price
surge to its highest price in twenty-five years on
the back of new investor and speculator buying,
particularly on the Tokyo Commodities Exchange.
The average spot price for the quarter of $485/oz
was $46/oz, or over 10%, higher than the price for
the previous quarter. The closing price for the
quarter of $517/oz was $50/oz higher than the
opening price for the quarter. Above all, however,
the most striking aspect of the markets behaviour
in the quarter was the range of $86/oz between
the low of $455/oz early in the quarter, and high of
$541/oz seen during December. This is the
biggest price range in one quarter seen in the gold
market in over twenty years. The gold price has
now risen for five years in succession, a
phenomenon not seen since the deregulation of
the gold market in the developed markets in the
early 1970’s (see Graph A).
GOLD
The powerful performance of the gold price during
the final quarter of the year was driven entirely by
investor and speculator interest in the metal, and
the physical market for the metal played little role.
Although investors have been critical to the rising
price of gold the extent of their role in the price
rise during the past quarter was more obvious
than ever before. Sustained long positions in gold
on the New York Comex were joined by very
active interest on the Tokyo Commodities
Exchange (Tocom) during November and
December, and by renewed buying of gold
through the exchange traded funds in gold,
particularly streetTRACKS Gold, listed on the New
York Comex. The Tocom and ETF purchases
seem to have had the most visible impact on the
spot price.
Buying of gold by Japanese investors on Tocom
coincided with a sharp and sudden decline in the
yen against the US dollar from early November,
and it would be fair to conclude that Japanese
buyers were influenced towards gold as a hedge
against currency devaluation. The November/
December rally in the spot gold price was due
particularly to buying on Tocom. The second and
quite different area of interest in gold was the
buying of gold through the ETF’s. After a lull in
ETF holdings during mid-2005, there was a strong
return of interest, with over 70t of gold (over
2.5Moz) purchased during the last couple of
months of 2005. More than 40t of further ETF
gold investment has taken place in January 2006,
and the combined gold ETF’s globally today hold
some 400t, or 13Moz of gold, equal to over $7bn
worth of the metal.
By contrast, the interest in gold on the New York
Comex which has been the driving force in the
gold price for the past four years exercised
significantly less influence on the gold price during
the period under review. The net long position in
gold on the Comex remained stable at 18-19Moz
for most of the final quarter of the year, and
Comex trading contributed little to the strong
moves in the spot gold price during these past few
months (see Graph B).
The spot gold price has risen again during the first
few weeks of the new year. Sentiment towards
gold is helped by renewed speculation about
possible central bank reserve asset diversification
which could include gold (signalled specifically by
monetary authorities in China and Russia during
the last quarter of 2005), and by ongoing
concerns over the possibility of renewed inflation
on the back of higher energy prices in particular.
The gold price has performed well technically, and
the positive momentum of recent years has
attracted investors on the strength of its own
success story. Market analysts’ expectations of
renewed US dollar weakness during this year is
being taken as supportive of the gold price,
notwithstanding a delinking of the influence of the
dollar on the gold market for much of the past six
months.
In the broader market circumstances, sentiment
towards gold has also been assisted by the
general strength in commodity prices and by the
very significant volume of investment funds
seeking new assets.
In the physical market for gold, the sharp price
rise in the final quarter of the year inevitably
affected gold demand negatively. After a very
healthy first half demand for gold in jewellery,
where offtake reached 1,485t and Indian demand
was up by 50% year on year, the second half of
2005 saw jewellery offtake slip to 1,255t, with
Quarterly Report December 2005 - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com                                                         7
background image
reduced offtake particularly in India and Europe.
Industry analysts forecast a further fall in demand
in the first half of 2006. Overall, demand for gold
in jewellery rose by 5% for the year as a whole.
The weakness in India towards the end of the
year was offset by continuing robust demand for
gold in the Middle East and Turkey, and by growth
of 10% for the year in China. Demand for gold in
other fabrication was up by 4%. However, the
other important element in the net market for gold,
producer dehedging, fell sharply by 54% to only
195t in 2005. Regarding supply of gold, mine
production for 2005 was slightly higher than in
2004, but net official sales of gold increased by
some 40% to 663t for 2005, leaving the market in
over-supply, certainly in the second half of the
year.
CURRENCIES
Over the past year, the strength of the
US currency has confounded the forecasts of
most analysts and commentators, who saw the
dollar weakening continuously during 2005 to
between $1.35 and $1.50 to the euro. During the
final quarter of the year, the dollar strengthened to
almost $1.16 to the euro, its strongest rate against
the European currency in two years. However,
from that point, the market has corrected
somewhat and the dollar today trades between
$1.20 and $1.22 to the euro. The strength of the
US currency during the latter part of the year had
no impact on the gold price as investors and
speculators appeared to focus on the gold market
on its own terms, rather than trading in response
to US dollar movements as they had done over
the past four years.
Notwithstanding the dollar’s bounce-back against
the euro during 2005, the unfavourable
circumstances in the US economy remain, and
analysts are again calling for a weaker dollar
during the year ahead. The dollar was aided
significantly during 2005 by the effects of the
Homeland Investment Act which led to fund flows
back into the USA particularly during the latter half
of the year, but this circumstance will not repeat in
2006. Instead, the dollar will be exposed to the
US current account deficit which continues to rise
and to a fiscal deficit in the US which remains to
be addressed.
The rand showed mixed signals during the
quarter, opening and closing at around the same
exchange rate of R6.31 to the dollar, but trading to
a weak point of R6.80. The average rate of
R6.53/$1 is little changed from the previous
quarter. However, since the end of the quarter,
the currency has strengthened by over 5% to
trade as strong as R5.95 to the dollar. This has
significantly reduced the benefit to South African
producers of the stronger US dollar gold spot
price. Even with the US dollar gold price currently
at double the level at which it traded in late 2001,
the rand spot price of gold at around R105,000/kg
remains below the rand gold price at the end of
2001.
The market anticipates a further year of good
economic growth in South Africa in 2006, and
foreign investment interest in the South African
economy remains particularly strong. In addition,
the country continues to benefit from sustained
price increases in metals and commodities. It
seems likely that the rand will remain around its
current trading range in 2006.
HEDGING
As at 31 December 2005, the net delta hedge
position of AngloGold Ashanti was 10.84Moz or
337t, valued at the spot gold price at the end of
the quarter of $517/oz. This net delta position
reflects an increase of some 160,000oz or 5t in
the net delta size of the AngloGold Ashanti hedge
compared with the position at the end of the
previous quarter. This increase is due entirely to
a higher delta in open options positions valued
against a quarter-end spot price which was higher
by $51/oz than the closing spot price at the end of
September 2005.
The marked-to-market value of the hedge position
as at 31 December 2005 was negative $1.941bn.
Again, the increase in the negative value of the
hedge was due entirely to the increase of the
closing spot price by $51/oz quarter on quarter.
Had the spot price of gold at the end of December
2005 remained unchanged from the price of
$465/oz at the end of September, the hedge
would have reduced in size to 10.29Moz or 320t,
with a marked-to-market value of $1.4bn.
The price received by the company for the quarter
under review was $476/oz, compared with an
average spot price for the period of $485/oz. The
company continues to manage its hedge positions
actively, and to reduce overall levels of pricing
commitments in respect of future gold production
by the company.

Hedge position
As at 31 December 2005, the group had outstanding
the following forward-pricing commitments against
future production. The total net delta tonnage of the
hedge of the company on this date was 10.84Moz or
337t (at 30 September 2005: 10.68Moz or 332t).
The marked-to-market value of all hedge
transactions making up the hedge positions was a
negative $1.941bn (negative R12.24bn) as at
31 December 2005 (as at 30 September 2005:
negative $1.349bn or R8.59bn). This value at
31 December 2005 was based on a gold price of
$517.00/oz, exchange rates of R/$6.305 and
A$/$0.7342 and the prevailing market interest rates
and volatilities at that date.
As at 9 February 2006, the marked-to-market
value of the hedge book was a negative
$2.425bn (negative R14.99bn), based on a gold
price of $557.75/oz and exchange rates of
R/$6.18 and A$/$0.7398 and the prevailing
market interest rates and volatilities at the time.
These marked-to-market valuations are not
predictive of the future value of the hedge
position, nor of future impact on the revenue of
the company. The valuation represents the cost
of buying all hedge contracts at the time of
valuation, at market prices and rates available
at the time.

Ore Reserves Statement
GOLD
AngloGold Ashanti’s attributable Proved & Probable
Ore Reserves amounted to 78.9Moz as at
31 December 2004 based on the requirements of
the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). In accordance with this
requirement, the company’s Ore Reserves were
estimated using the three-year historical average of
gold prices of $375/oz, A$536/oz and R94,765/kg
respectively. AngloGold Ashanti reviews and
updates its estimates of Ore Reserves annually and
publishes them in the first quarter of each year.
In accordance with the preferred position of the
SEC, based on the estimated average of gold price
and exchange rates for the three years ended
31 December 2005, which yields gold prices of
around $400/oz, A$556/oz and R86,808/kg,
AngloGold Ashanti’s Proved and Probable Ore
Reserves have been determined to be 63.3Moz as
at 31
December 2005. The reduction in the
company’s Ore Reserves, as compared to those at
31 December 2004, amounted to 15.6Moz, 7.0Moz
of which is due to depletion, 6.4Moz is due to the
use of the lower rand gold price of R86,808/kg and
the remaining 2.2Moz reduction is due to geological
model and scope changes. These reductions in
Proved and Probable Ore Reserves are primarily at
three of the South African mines, namely Moab
Khotsong, Mponeng and Tau Lekoa, for reasons
detailed below:
   in the case of Moab Khotsong a reduction of
5.4Moz is due to:
o
the removal of 1.3Moz from the existing
project as a result of a reduction in the mine
call factor, and
o
the removal of the “Moab Khotsong
Phase 2 Project” (4.1Moz) following the
use of the lower rand gold price;
•    in the case of Mponeng a reduction of
1.7Moz is due to:
o
the removal of 0.4Moz as a result of a
reduction in the mine call factor, and
o
the removal of the “Mponeng below 120
level Ventersdorp Contact Reef Project”
(1.3Moz) following the use of the lower
rand gold price; and
•    in the case of Tau Lekoa, a reduction of
1.6Moz is primarily due to the use of the
lower rand gold price.
A sensitivity analysis has been carried out on
the company’s Ore Reserves, using gold prices
that reflect more recent spot prices ($530/oz,
A$700/oz and R105,000/kg). This analysis,
together with the anticipated reserve ounces
expected to be generated by the 2006
exploration programmes, indicates that the
current ore reserve position could be increased
by some 9Moz, thereby more than replacing
depletion in 2006.
BY-PRODUCTS
A number of by-products will be recovered as a
result of processing the gold Ore Reserves.
These include:
• 22.66 million ounces of silver from Argentina
• 13,920 tonnes of uranium from South Africa
• 164,000 tonnes of copper from Australia *
• 110,000 tonnes of sulphur from Brazil
* Assumes that the Boddington Expansion Project is approved by the Joint Venture partners.

Notes
for the quarter and year ended 31 December 2005
1.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with the historic cost
convention except for certain financial instruments which are stated at fair value. The group's accounting policies
used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2004 except for the new and revised International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) statements which are effective 1 January 2005, where applicable and where
indicated.
The financial statements of AngloGold Ashanti have been prepared in compliance with IAS34, in compliance with
the JSE Listings Requirements and in the manner required by the South African Companies Act, 1973 for the
preparation of financial information of the group for the quarter and year ended 31 December 2005.
Changes to comparative information: During the year, AngloGold Ashanti adopted various accounting policies
relating to the convertible bond and the method of accounting for its post-retirement medical and pension
obligations, and has complied with IFRS statements for the accounting for the Ergo discontinuance, which details
have been fully disclosed in prior quarterly reports. As part of the year-end process and in compliance with
disclosures for the year ended 31 December 2005, certain amounts have been reclassified to agree with current
disclosures. Full details of all changes will be presented in the 2005 annual report which is expected to be
distributed to shareholders during March 2006.

Non-hedge derivatives in the income statement comprise the change in fair value of all non-hedge derivatives as follows:
-
Open positions: The change in fair value from the previous reporting date or date of recognition (if later) through to the current
reporting date; and
-
Settled positions: The change in fair value from the previous reporting date or date of recognition (if later) through to the date of
settlement.
Headline (loss) earnings adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives, fair value gain (loss) on convertible bond and
interest rate swaps, is intended to illustrate earnings after adjusting for:
-
The unrealised fair value change in contracts that are still open at the reporting date, as well as, the unwinding of the historic
marked-to-market value of the positions settled in the period; and
-
Investment in hedge restructure transaction: During the hedge restructure in the quarter ended 31 December 2004 and the quarter
ended 31 March 2005, $83m and $69m in cash was injected into the hedge book in these quarters to increase the value of long-
dated contracts. The entire investment in short-dated derivatives (certain of which have now matured) and investment in long-dated
derivatives (all of which have not yet matured), for the purposes of the adjustment to earnings, will only be taken into account when
the realised portion of long-dated non-hedge derivatives are settled, and not when the short-term contracts are settled.
-
The unrealised fair value change on the option component of the convertible bond.

Liquidity and capital resources:
To service the above capital commitments and other operational requirements, the group is dependant upon cash generated from the
South African operations, borrowing facilities and cash distributions from offshore operations.
Cash generated from the South African operations fund to a large extent the capital expenditure to maintain and expand those operations
in South Africa. Consequently other funding requirements are serviced from borrowing facilities and offshore distributions which are
subject to market and other risks. The credit facilities and other financing arrangements contain financial covenants and other similar
undertakings.
The distributions from offshore operations are subject to foreign investment and exchange control laws and regulations and the quantity
of foreign exchange available in offshore countries. In addition offshore distributions from joint venture partners are subject to consent
and co-operation from those joint venture partners.
The group’s current covenant performance, cash and liquidity funds from the various resources available are within the required limits
which will meet its obligations and capital commitments.

(1)    The 2004 opening balances and comparative amounts have been restated in terms of the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates (IAS21)
revised.
(2)    Non-distributable reserves comprise a surplus on disposal of company shares of $22m, R138m (2004: $24m, R138m).
(3) 
   Other comprehensive income represents the effective portion of fair value gains or losses in respect of cash flow hedges until the underlying
transaction occurs, upon which the gains or losses are recognised in earnings.
(4)    With the adoption of IAS 19 revised, actuarial gain and loss movements are accounted through equity reserves. Actuarial gains and losses arise from
a change in assumption parameters and the difference between the actual and expected return on plan assets.

Water pumping cost – South Africa – The South African Department of Water Affairs and Forestry issued a new
directive on 1 November 2005 ordering the four mining groups, Simmer and Jack Investments (Proprietary)
Limited, Simmer and Jack Mines Limited (collectively known as Simmers who have purchased Buffelsfontein
shafts from DRDGold Limited), Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited, AngloGold Ashanti and Stilfontein Gold
Mining Company to share equally, the costs of pumping water at Stilfontein’s Margaret Shaft. This follows an
interdict application made by AngloGold Ashanti in response to DRDGold’s threat to cease funding the pumping
of water at the Margaret and Buffelsfontein shafts, after placing Buffelsfontein, its subsidiary that operated the
North West operations, into liquidation on 22 March 2005. Simmers have purchased the Buffelsfontein shafts
from DRDGold and have assumed the water management liabilities associated with the Buffelsfontein shafts.
The directive also orders the mining companies to submit an agreement and a joint proposal towards the long-
term sustainable management of water arising from the mining activities in the area. AngloGold Ashanti believes
that it is not liable to fund these pumping costs but cannot provide any assurances regarding the ultimate result
until the matter has been settled.
Groundwater pollution – South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti has identified a number of groundwater pollution sites
at its currently operations in South Africa, and has investigated a number of different technologies and
methodologies that could possibly be used to remediate the pollution plumes. The viability of the suggested
remediation techniques in the local geological formation in South Africa is however unknown. No sites have been
remediated and present research and development work is focused on several pilot projects to find a solution that
will in fact yield satisfactory results in South African conditions. Subject to the technology being developed as a
remediation technique, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.

Retrenchment costs – South Africa – Following the decision to discontinue operations at Ergo in 2005, employees
surplus to requirements have been terminated and retrenchment packages settled. Ergo continues to retain
various staff members to complete the discontinuance and the attendant environmental obligations which are
expected to be completed by 2012. The retained employees may resign, be transferred within the Group, attain
retirement age or be retrenched as their current position is made redundant. AngloGold Ashanti is currently
unable to determine the effect, if any, of any potential retrenchment costs.
Re-export arrangements of artifacts – South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti has undertaken to re-export certain gold
artefacts, temporarily imported into South Africa, for which custom and value added tax was waived to the amount
of $3m.
Provision of surety – South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti has provided sureties in favour of a lender on a Gold loan
facility with its affiliate Oro Africa (Pty) Ltd and one of its subsidiaries to a maximum value of R100m ($16m). The
suretyship agreements have a termination notice period of 90 days.
AngloGold Ashanti Pension Fund – South Africa – A statutory valuation of the defined benefit pension fund was
performed as at 31 December 2002, which showed that the fund was in deficit. To fund the shortfall, the rate of
the company contribution was reviewed and increased during 2004. In addition, a formal additional funding plan
was submitted to and approved by the Financial Services Board. According to the plan, the company funded
R34m ($5m) in 2005, R31m ($5m) in 2004 and a further R259m ($35m) will be funded during the years 2006 to
2011. The plan is evaluated by independent actuaries on an annual basis as at 31 December of each year, and a
formal statutory valuation as at 31 December 2005 will be completed during the first six months of 2006. In
arriving at their conclusions, the actuaries took into account, reasonable long-term estimates of inflation,
increases in wages, salaries and pension, as well as returns on investment. A preliminary valuation for December
2005 indicates that the funding plan will no longer be effected.
Exploration and development tenements – Australia – AngloGold Ashanti stands collateral to certain bankers for
the satisfactory contract performance in relation to exploration and development tenements and mining operations
in Australia, amounting to $15m.
Sales tax on gold deliveries – Brazil – Mineração Serra Grande S.A., the operator of the Crixas mine in Brazil, has
received assessments from the State of Goias Tax Inspection related to payments of sales taxes on gold
deliveries for export. The Serra Grande Joint Venture is co-owned with Kinross Gold Corporation. The company
manages the operation and its attributable share of the assessment is approximately $29 million. The company
believes the assessments are in violation of Federal legislation on sales taxes and that there is a remote chance
of success for the State of Goias. The assessment has been appealed.
Litigation with mining contractor and non-payment of receivable – Ghana
        A group of employees of Mining and Building Contractors (MBC), the Obuasi underground developer, are
claiming to be employees of the group. If successful, there is a risk of some employees claiming rights to
share options;
•       Bayswater Construction and Mining Limited (BCM) have instituted court proceedings against the Bibiani
mine (AGBL), claiming $4.66m pertaining to a contractual dispute. This matter is currently stayed on
technical grounds to the effect that the litigation cannot commence until arbitration has been concluded. The
potential liability amounts to $3m;
•       BCM has instituted a claim against the Bibiani mine relating to a wall slip to which BCM considered that they
had an exclusive right under their contract to repair. AGBL awarded the repair to a third party. The potential
liability amounts to $1m.
Capital cost of water pipelines and electricity supply – Namibia – A potential liability of $1m exists at Navachab in
Namibia to pay the outstanding capital cost of the water pipeline and electricity supply in the event of mine closure
prior to 2019.

Federal violations – USA – Sierra Club and Mineral Policy Center filed two lawsuits against Cripple Creek & Victor
Gold Mining Company, AngloGold Ashanti (Colorado) Corp., AngloGold Ashanti North America Inc., and Golden
Cycle Gold Corporation alleging various past and ongoing violations of the federal Clean Water Act at the
Cresson Project near Victor, Colorado. The Defendants dispute that there have been or that there are ongoing
violations of the Clean Water Act, and have been vigorously defending themselves in the ensuing years. The trial
is scheduled February 2006. Without conceding any liability but in an attempt to resolve these matters without the
cost and expense of trial the parties have held settlement discussions and the Defendants have offered
approximately $500,000 to conduct on-the-ground activities and pay some of Plaintiffs costs. At this time, no
settlement has been reached. The potential liability amounts to $1m.
Obligations pertaining to a lease agreement – USA – Pursuant to the assignment of equipment leases to
Queenstake Resources USA Inc., as a result of the sale of Jerritt Canyon effective 30 June 2003, AngloGold
Ashanti USA has become secondarily liable in the event of a default by Queenstake Resources USA Inc. in
performance of any of the lessee's obligations arising under the Lease. These agreements have a remaining
term of 1 year.
17.
Concentration of risk
There is a concentration of risk in respect of reimbursable value added tax and fuel duties from the Malian
government:
    Reimbursable value added tax due from the Malian government, for the company amount to an attributable
$25m at 31 December 2005 (31 December 2004: attributable $14m). The last audited value added tax return
was for the period ended 30 June 2005 and at that date an attributable $12m was still outstanding and an
attributable $6m is still subject to audit. The accounting processes for the unaudited amount are in
accordance with the processes advised by the Malian government in terms of the previous audits.
•     Reimbursable fuel duties from the Malian government, for the company amount to an attributable $13m at
31 December 2005 (31 December 2004: attributable $13m). Fuel duties are required to be submitted before
31 January of the following year and are subject to authorisation by firstly the Department of Mining and
secondly the Custom and Excise authorities. The Customs and Excise authorities have approved an
attributable $7m which is still outstanding, whilst an attributable $6m is still subject to authorisation. The
accounting processes for the unauthorised amount are in accordance with the processes advised by the
Malian government in terms of the previous authorisations.
The government of Mali is a shareholder in all the Malian entities and has promised to provide a repayment plan
for the amounts due.
18.      Attributable interest
Although AngloGold Ashanti holds a 66.7% interest in Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company Limited, it is
currently entitled to receive 100% of the cash flows from the operation until the loan, extended to the joint venture
by AngloGold Ashanti USA Inc., is repaid.
19.      Borrowings
AngloGold Ashanti's borrowings are interest bearing.
20.      Announcements
On 26 October 2005, AngloGold Ashanti announced that it welcomed the announcement by Anglo American that
it intended to provide AngloGold Ashanti with greater flexibility to pursue its strategy by deciding to reduce its
shareholding in the company, whilst still intending to remain a significant shareholder in the medium term.

21.      Dividend
The directors have today declared Final Dividend No. 99 of 62 (Final Dividend No. 97: 180) South African cents
per ordinary share for the six months ended 31 December 2005. In compliance with the requirements of
STRATE, given the company's primary listing on the JSE Limited (formerly JSE Securities Exchange South
Africa), the salient dates for payment of the dividend are as follows:
To holders of ordinary shares and to holders of CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs)
Each CDI represents one-fifth of an ordinary share.
2006
Currency conversion date for UK pounds, Australian dollars and Ghanaian cedis

Last date to register transfers of certificated securities cum dividend
Thursday, 23 February
Ordinary shares trade ex dividend
Friday, 24 February
Record date
Friday, 3 March
Payment date
Friday, 10 March
On the payment date, dividends due to holders of certificated securities on the South African share register will
either be electronically transferred to shareholders' bank accounts or, in the absence of suitable mandates,
dividend cheques will be posted to such shareholders.
Dividends in respect of dematerialised shareholdings will be credited to shareholders' accounts with the relevant
CSDP or broker.
To comply with the further requirements of STRATE, between Friday, 24 February 2006 and Friday, 3 March
2006, both days inclusive, no transfers between the South African, United Kingdom, Australian and Ghana share
registers will be permitted and no ordinary shares pertaining to the South African share register may be
dematerialised or rematerialised.
To holders of American Depositary Shares
Each American Depositary Share (ADS) represents one ordinary share.

Assuming an exchange rate of R6.18/$1, the dividend payable on an ADS is equivalent to 10 US cents. This
compares with the final dividend of 30.37 US cents per ADS paid on 7 March 2005. However, the actual rate of
payment will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion.
To holders of Ghanaian Depositary Shares (GhDSs)
100 GhDSs represent one ordinary share.
2006
Last date to trade and to register GhDSs cum dividend
Friday, 24 February

Record date
Friday, 3 March
Approximate payment date of dividend
Monday, 13 March
Assuming an exchange rate of R1/¢1,472 the dividend payable per GhDS is equivalent to 9.13 cedis. This
compares with the final dividend of 26.830 cedis per GhDS paid on 28 February 2005. However, the actual rate
of payment will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion. In Ghana, the authorities have
determined that dividends payable to residents on the Ghana share register be subject to a final withholding tax
at a rate of 10%, similar to the rate applicable to dividend payments made by resident companies which is
currently at 10%.

Gross profit (loss) adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives plus amortisation of tangible and intangible assets, less non-cash revenues.
Rounding of figures may result in computational discrepancies.
Based on risks and returns the directors consider that the primary reporting format is by business segment. The directors consider that there is only one business segment being
mining, extraction and production of gold. Therefore the disclosures for the primary segment have already been given in the abbreviated financial statements. The secondary
reporting format is by geographical analysis by origin.

Certain statements contained in this document, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations
regarding gold prices and production, the completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production
projects, and its liquidity and capital resources and expenditure, 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, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. 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 of the annual
report on Form 20-F 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. For a discussion on such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report on
Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2004, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 14July 2005.
