NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP
Note A. Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("US GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2006.
The balance sheet as at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US
GAAP for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Note C. Deferred stripping costs
On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-6,
“Accounting for Stripping Costs in the Mining Industry”. Issue No. 04-6 addresses the accounting
for stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine and that post production
stripping costs should be considered costs of the extracted minerals under a full absorption
costing system and recognized as a component of inventory to be recognized in cost of sales in
the same period as the revenue from the sale of the inventory. Additionally, capitalization of such
costs would be appropriate only to the extent inventory exists at the end of a reporting period.
The guidance requires application through recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to
opening retained earnings in the period of adoption, with no charge to current earnings for prior
periods. The results for prior periods have not been restated. Upon adoption, the cumulative
effect of accounting change reduced opening retained earnings by $97 million (net of Taxation),
increased the value of inventory by $5 million, eliminated the capitalized deferred stripping
balance of $105 million, decreased Deferred taxation by $5 million, reduced Other long-term
assets by $3 million and decreased Minority interest by $1 million. Adoption of the new guidance
will have no impact on the Company’s cash position or net cash from operations.
Prior to January 1, 2006 stripping costs incurred in open-pit operations during the production
phase to remove additional waste were charged to operating costs on the basis of the average
life of mine stripping ratio and the average life of mine costs per tonne and resulted in
capitalization of such stripping costs (deferred stripping).

Note D. Long-term debt
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company repaid $400 million under the $700 million
unsecured syndicated loan facility (due January 2008) and $118 million in local short term money market
loans. These amounts were funded from proceeds raised through the public share offering (completed in
April 2006) and cash flow from operations. As at June 30, 2006, $85 million was drawn under the
$700 million loan facility. Outstanding local short term money market loans included in short-term debt
amounted to $7 million as at June 30, 2006.
Note E. Provision for environmental rehabilitation
Long-term environmental obligations comprising decommissioning and restoration are based on the
Company’s environmental management plans, in compliance with the current environmental and regulatory
requirements.

Certain amounts have been contributed to an irrevocable rehabilitation trust and environmental protection
bond under the Company's control. The monies in the trust and bond are invested primarily in interest
bearing debt securities and are included in Other long-term assets in the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet. Cash balances held in the trust and bond are classified as restricted cash in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. As at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the
balances held in the trust and bond (cash and investments) amounted to $85 million and $93 million,
respectively. Besides these assets there were no other assets that were legally restricted for purposes of
settling asset retirement obligations as at June 30, 2006.
Note F. Impairment of assets
No impairment was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006. In the six months ended
June 30, 2005 the Company recorded an impairment of assets of $7 million relating to the abandonment of
exploration activities and expansion projects at Tau Lekoa and TauTona in South Africa. However, an
adverse change in impairment-related assumptions which may not be mitigated by a change in other
factors may result in impairments going forward.
Note G. Profit on sale of assets, loans and indirect taxes
In the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a profit on sale of assets of $19 million
(before taxation of $1 million) relating mainly to the disposal of minor equipment and assets in South
America, recovery of loans written off and over-provision of indirect taxes in Guinea and Tanzania. No
profit on sale of assets was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Note H. Discontinued operations
The Ergo reclamation surface operation, which forms part of the South African operations and is included
under South Africa for segmental reporting, has been discontinued as the operation has reached the end of
its useful life. After a detailed investigation of several options and scenarios, and based on management’s
decision reached on February 1, 2005, mining operations at Ergo ceased on March 31, 2005 with only site
restoration obligations remaining. The remaining available tonnage will be treated and cleaned through the
tailings facility. The results of Ergo for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, are summarized as
follows:

ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
…continued
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP
Note I. Change in accounting for employee benefit plans
During 2005, the Company changed its accounting policy, retroactive to January 1, 2005, with respect to
accounting for employee benefit plans to recognize the effects of actuarial gains and losses in income,
rather than amortizing over the expected average remaining service period of employees participating in
the plan. This change was made as the Company believes that elimination of the permitted pension and
post-retirement benefit corridor, as allowed by SFAS87 and SFAS106 will result in more accurate financial
information. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting treatment with respect to actuarial gains
and losses decreased net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and stockholders’ equity by
$22 million (net of taxation of $11 million).
Note J. Stock-based compensation plans
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
“Share-Based Payment”. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based payments
under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations”, as permitted by SFAS123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation”. In accordance with APB No. 25, no compensation cost was required to be recognized for
options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on
the date of grant.
The Company adopted SFAS123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method,
compensation cost recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes: a) compensation cost for
all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-
date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS123, and b) compensation cost
for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS123(R). The results for prior periods have not been
restated.
SFAS123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be
reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. This requirement will reduce net
operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. This requirement did
not impact the Company’s cash flow disclosure for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as the Company
does not receive the benefit of a tax deduction for compensation cost settled in equity.
At June 30, 2006, the Company has four stock-based employee compensation plans consisting of time-
based awards, performance related awards and the Bonus Share Plan (BSP) and Long-Term Incentive
Plan (LTIP) treated as equity settled compensation plans under SFAS123(R). During the six months
ended June 30, 2006 the Company recognized a compensation expense of $2 million related to the BSP
and LTIP plans in accordance with the provisions of SFAS123(R).
The following table summarizes activity for stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2006:

As of June 30, 2006, there was $nil million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested
stock options. The probability of these stock options vesting is considered to be remote.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied
the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS123(R) to stock-based employee compensation in the first six
months of 2005.

The calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 did not
assume the effect of 15,384,615 shares, issuable upon the exercise of Convertible Bonds as their
effects are anti-dilutive for this period.
There was no change in the Company's loss before income taxes, net loss and basic and diluted loss per
share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of adopting SFAS123(R) on January 1, 2006,
than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25.

Note P. Commitments and contingencies
Capital expenditure commitments
Capital commitments and contingent liabilities of the Company include total contracted capital
expenditure of $382 million and total authorized capital expenditure not yet contracted of approximately
$967 million as of June 30, 2006. The expenditure is expected to be financed from existing cash
resources, cash generated by operations and debt facilities.
Water pumping costs
The South African Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) issued a Directive on
November 1, 2005 ordering the four mining groups, Simmer and Jack Investments (Proprietary) Limited,
Simmer and Jack Mines Limited (collectively known as Simmers who have purchased the 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
Limited’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
March 22, 2005. Simmers have purchased the Buffelsfontein shafts from DRDGold Limited 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. The mining companies
have signed and submitted Settlement and Shareholders’ Agreements to the DWAF. The mining
companies and government are in the process of discussing the fulfillment of the conditions precedent in
the Agreements. The Settlement Agreement describes the formation of a “New Water Company”, which
will take over the running of the Margaret Shaft from the Stilfontein Gold Mining Company. The State has
requested that the new company be a Section 21 “not for profit company” in order for it to qualify for
reduced water tariffs. The new company will be responsible for the operation of the shaft and the
operation of all pumping equipment at the shaft in order to transfer all fissure water to surface on a daily
basis. Each of the three companies has agreed to provide one third of the start up capital required on
loan account to the New Water Company. The mining companies will each contribute a maximum of
R18 million (approximately $3 million) capital in the aggregate over a 3-year period. Any additional
working or other capital costs required by the New Water Company will be borrowed or otherwise
obtained from outside sources. The mining companies are therefore not obliged to contribute more than
the R18 million (approximately $3 million) capital. Each of the mining companies must agree with the
contents of a business plan for the New Water Company. The mining companies will not have any
obligation whatsoever to approve of the Business Plan unless they are satisfied that the New Water
Company will be able to conduct and continue conducting business on a viable and sustainable basis
without any funding being required from the mining companies other than the R18 million (approximately
$3 million) capital provided for in the agreement. At present it is estimated that a total finance of
R54 million (approximately $8 million) is required for the Margaret Shaft over a three-year period.
The Company believes that it is not liable to fund these pumping costs greater than it is willing to
consent to in terms of the settlement agreement detailed above, but cannot provide any assurances
regarding the ultimate result until the matter has been settled.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
…continued
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP
Note P. Commitments and contingencies (continued)
South Africa – groundwater pollution
The Company has identified a number of groundwater pollution sites at its current operations in South
Africa and has investigated a number of different technologies and methodologies that could possibly be
used to remediate 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.
South Africa – retrenchment costs
Following the decision to discontinue operations at Ergo in 2005, employees surplus to requirements
have had their service contracts terminated and retrenchment packages settled. Ergo continues to retain
various staff members to complete the discontinuance and 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. The Company
is currently unable to determine the effect, if any, of any potential retrenchment costs.
South Africa – provision of surety
The Company has provided surety in favor of the lender in respect of gold loan facilities to wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Oro Group (Proprietary) Limited an affiliate of the Company. The Company has a total
maximum liability, in terms of the suretyships, of R100 million ($14 million). The suretyship agreements
have a termination notice period of 90 days. The probability of the non-performance under the
suretyships is considered minimal, based on factors of no prior defaults, being well established
companies and recourse via general notarial bonds over the gold stocks of the subsidiaries of the Oro
Group.
North America – Reclamation
Pursuant to US environmental regulations, gold mining companies are obligated to close their operations
and rehabilitate the lands that they mine in accordance with these regulations. AngloGold Ashanti USA
has posted reclamation bonds with various federal and state governmental agencies to cover potential
rehabilitation obligations in amounts aggregating approximately $49 million.
The Company has provided a guarantee for these obligations which would be payable in the event of
AngloGold Ashanti USA not being able to meet their rehabilitation obligations. As at June 30, 2006 the
carrying value of these obligations relating to AngloGold Ashanti USA amounted to $24 million and are
included in the Provision for environmental rehabilitation in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
The obligations will expire upon completion of such rehabilitation. There are no recourse provisions that
would enable AngloGold Ashanti to recover from third parties any of the amounts paid under the
guarantee.
Brazil – sales tax on gold deliveries
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. Serra
Grande is co-owned with Kinross Gold Corporation. The Company manages the operation and its 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.
AngloGold Offshore Investments Limited – Nufcor International Limited loan facility
AngloGold Offshore Investments Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has given a
guarantee of 50 percent of the Nufcor International Limited loan facility with RMB International (Dublin)
Limited amounting to $25 million. Nufcor International Limited is accounted for under the equity method.
Geita hedge guarantee
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc have issued hedging
guarantees to several counterparty banks in which they have guaranteed the due performance by the
Geita Management Company Limited (GMC) of its obligations under or pursuant to the hedging
agreements entered into by GMC, and to the payment of all money owing or incurred by GMC as and
when due. The guarantee shall remain in force until no sum remains to be paid under the Hedging
Agreements and the Bank has irrevocably recovered or received all sums payable to it under the
Hedging Agreements. The maximum potential amount of future payments is all moneys due, owing or
incurred by GMC under or pursuant to the Hedging Agreements. At June 30, 2006 the marked-to-market
valuation of the GMC hedge book was negative $302 million.
North and South America delivery guarantees
The Company has issued gold delivery guarantees to several counterparty banks in which it guarantees
the due performance of its wholly-owned subsidiaries AngloGold Ashanti USA Inc. and AngloGold South
America under their respective gold hedging agreements.
Ashanti Treasury Services – guarantees
The Company together with its wholly-owned subsidiary AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc have provided
guarantees to several counterparty banks for the hedging commitments of its wholly-owned subsidiary
Ashanti Treasury Services Limited (ATS). The maximum potential amount of future payments is all
moneys due, owing or incurred by ATS under or pursuant to the Hedging Agreements. At June 30, 2006
the marked-to-market valuation of the ATS hedge book was negative $1,039 million.

Note P. Commitments and contingencies (continued)
Ghana – litigation with mining contractor and non-payment of receivable
A group of employees of Mining and Building Contractors (MBC), the Obuasi underground developer,
are claiming to be employees of AngloGold Ashanti. If successful, there is a risk of some employees
claiming rights to share options. In addition, Bayswater Construction and Mining Limited (BCM) have
instituted court proceedings against the Bibiani mine (AGBL), claiming $5 million 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. 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 $1 million.
In addition to the above, the Company has contingent liabilities in respect of certain claims, disputes and
guarantees which are not considered to be material.
With operations in several countries on several continents, many of which are emerging markets,
AngloGold Ashanti is subject to, and pays annual taxes under the various tax regimes where it operates.
Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, but others
are defined by the general corporate tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and
continues to file, all required tax returns and to pay the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax
rules and regulations in many countries are complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the
Company is subject to a review of its historic tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes
can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the
Company’s business conducted within the country involved. Management believes based on information
currently to hand, that such tax contingencies have been adequately provided for, and as assessments
are completed, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to those estimates used in determining
amounts due.
Registration rights agreement
On March 23, 2006 the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Anglo South Africa
Capital (Proprietary) Limited (Anglo South Africa) under which the Company has agreed to file U.S.
registration statements for Anglo South Africa’s offer and sale of shares it holds in the Company (each a
Demand Registration) if Anglo South Africa requests the Company to do so. The Company is required to
use all reasonable efforts to file a Demand Registration within 30 days after such a request and to keep it
effective for 90 days unless the shares offered pursuant to it are sold earlier. Further, the Company may
not offer, sell, allot or issue any shares or other securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for,
or that represent the right to receive, shares, whether pursuant to U.S. registration or otherwise, for a 90-
day period immediately following the first closing of an offering pursuant to a Demand Registration or a
shorter period as may be imposed by underwriters in the Demand Registration; except: (i) in
consideration for shares or assets of a company as part of a merger, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or similar transaction, (ii) as required pursuant to the terms governing the 2.375 percent
guaranteed convertible bonds due 2009, issued by AngloGold Holdings plc and guaranteed by the
Company, and (iii) in connection with any option, employee bonus, profit sharing, pension, retirement,
incentive, savings or similar plan, agreement or award. The Registration Rights Agreement may be
terminated at any time by written consent by each of the parties thereto. The Registration Rights
Agreement shall terminate automatically on the first date on which Anglo South Africa is no longer an
“affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Vulnerability from concentrations
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 to the Company
amounts to $30 million, at June 30, 2006. The last audited value added tax return was for the period
ended June 30, 2005 and at that date $20 million was still outstanding and $10 million 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 to the Company amount to $14 million at
June 30, 2006. Fuel duties are required to be submitted before January 31 of the following year and are
subject to authorization by, firstly, the Department of Mining, and secondly, the Customs and Excise
authorities. The Customs and Excise department has approved $7 million which is still outstanding, while
$7 million is still subject to authorization. The accounting processes for the unauthorized amount are in
accordance with the processes advised by the Malian government in terms of the previous
authorizations.
The government of Mali is a shareholder in all the Malian entities and has provided a repayment plan for
the amounts due.
Note Q. Recent pronouncement
On July 13, 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB interpretation No. 48,
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS109,
“Accounting for Income Taxes”. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The Company is reviewing the guidance issued in FIN 48 and has not yet
determined the impact of this on the financial statements.

represents one ordinary share.
Note S. Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information
With effect from October 1, 2004, AngloGold Ashanti has transferred certain of its operations and assets
located outside South Africa (excluding certain operations and assets in the United States, Australia and
Africa) to AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc (originally SMI Holdings Limited and formerly AngloGold

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE FOR THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH US GAAP
In the following discussion references to rands, ZAR and R are to the lawful currency of the Republic
of South Africa, references to US dollars or $ are to the lawful currency of the United States,
references to euro or € are to the lawful currency of the European Union, references to AUD dollars
and A$ are to the lawful currency of Australia, reference to BRL is to the lawful currency of Brazil,
reference to C$ is to the lawful currency of Canada and references to GHC or cedi are to the lawful
currency of Ghana.
Introduction
Operating results
AngloGold Ashanti’s revenues are derived primarily from the sale of gold produced at its mines. An
insignificant portion of its revenue is derived from the sales of silver, uranium oxide and sulfuric acid.
As a consequence, AngloGold Ashanti’s operating results are directly related to the price of gold which
can fluctuate widely and are also affected by numerous factors beyond its control, including industrial
and jewellery demand, the strength of the US dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is
generally quoted) and of other currencies, interest rates, actual or expected gold sales by central
banks, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events, and production and
cost levels in major gold-producing regions such as South Africa.
As the amounts produced in any single year constitute a very small portion of the total potential supply
of gold, normal variations in AngloGold Ashanti’s current production do not necessarily have a
significant impact on the supply of gold or on its price. If revenue from gold sales falls for a substantial
period below AngloGold Ashanti’s cost of production at its operations, AngloGold Ashanti could
determine that it is not economically feasible to continue commercial production at any or all of its
operations nor to continue the development of some or all of its projects.
Impact of exchange rate fluctuations
During the first six months of 2006 the rand weakened against the US dollar by 13 percent (based on
the exchange rates of R6.35 and R7.15 per US dollar on January 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006,
respectively). In addition, when comparing the average exchange rates of the rand against the US
dollar of R6.31 and R6.21 during the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, the value of the
rand lost 2 percent against the US dollar. The Australian dollar weakened against the US dollar by
5 percent based on the average exchange rates of A$1.35 and A$1.29 per US dollar during the first
six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. In contrast, local currencies in Brazil strengthened against
the US dollar during the six month period ended June 30, 2006 when compared with the same period
of 2005. As a result of mainly weaker local currencies, production costs expressed in US dollars
decreased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 when compared with the same period of
2005 which positively impacted on the profitability of AngloGold Ashanti.

Gold market
In line with the first quarter of 2006, the sharp price moves in the gold market experienced during the
second quarter have resulted in weakness in key consumer markets such as Turkey and India,
together with a shift by manufacturers to lower gold content in manufactured products.
In addition, gold manufacturers have been adversely affected by higher price levels and particularly
greater price volatility, as banks make margin calls to cover the higher value of gold inventory loans.
Manufacturers therefore have typically had to increase their loan collateral, or to repay loans, by
cutting production or liquidating stock.
Higher metal prices have also been accompanied by an influx of gold scrap into refineries, with the
new secondary refineries in Dubai being the major beneficiaries.
While participants in the jewellery wholesale, manufacturing and retail trade are adopting various
strategies to deal with gold’s price appreciation and volatility, those who analyze demand indicators in
key markets are cautious regarding potential further softening in the gold jewellery market through the
next six months.
In contrast to a slightly weaker jewellery market, the investment market for gold appears to have
remained strong, notwithstanding a general pull-back in commodities and precious metals investing in
mid-May 2006.
Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) grew by some 45 tonnes during the second quarter of 2006,
with an increase year-to-date of some 149 tonnes. Despite the sharp fall in the gold price during the
second quarter, gold ETFs only reduced modestly and recovered quickly to pre selloff levels.
Central Bank selling appears to have been low since January 2006. Sales have amounted to between
30 tonnes – 35 tonnes for the second quarter. Reported sales for the current year of the Washington
Agreement are between 315 tonnes to 320 tonnes, which means that signatories to the agreement
may sell up to a further 180 tonnes before the year-end of September 26 if they are to utilize, in full,
the agreed quota for 2006.
More generally, commodity prices continue to be supported, in part, by investor demand. Investment
in indexed commodity funds continues to grow and is estimated to be as much as $90 billion currently,
much of it coming from long-only funds such as pension funds that are allocating a portion of funds
under management to commodities. The expectation amongst market commentators is for this trend to
continue, with the potential for significant further investment flows into the sector.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the dollar continued to trade in a range of $1.20 to $1.30
against the euro despite continued concerns over the trade and current account deficits in the United
States. Of significance during the quarter were the comments made by the US FED Chairman
Dr. Ben S. Bernanke, including raising US interest rates by 25 basis points for the 17
th
consecutive
time and signaling to the market that the cycle of interest rate increases may not yet be complete.
The remarks were influential in causing investors to withdraw funds from a number of markets,
particularly the more liquid emerging markets where there was a realization that the risk premium
being offered in these markets may not be sufficient to merit the investment. Coupled with local
interest rate changes, this had the effect of causing, amongst other currencies, the South African rand,
the Brazilian real and the Australian dollar to trade some 10 percent lower against the dollar.

22
The US FED again met in early August and did not raise interest rates, raising the expectation that the
cycle of interest rate increases may be coming to an end. The markets have been more settled and
the real has recovered to trade at BRL2.2/$ from its lows of BRL2.4/$ and the Australian dollar has
strengthened to $0.755/A$ from its lows of $0.72/A$. In the case of the rand, the release in June 2006
of a large current account deficit for the first quarter of 2006 saw the rand weaken further to lows of
R7.40/$ despite the South African Monetary Policy Committee raising interest rates by 50 basis points.
The rand has since traded back to levels around R6.80/$ but it is unlikely that the rand will recover all
of its recent weakness unless the US dollar itself weakens, hence South African producers should
continue receiving the high rand gold prices that they have been receiving of late.
In 2006, the spot price of gold opened at $517 per ounce in January and closed at $613 per ounce in
June 2006, compared with $437 per ounce in January 2005 and $435 per ounce in June 2005. The
average spot price of gold was $591 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2006, $164 per
ounce, or 38 percent, higher than $427 per ounce, the average spot price for the same period in 2005.
During the first six months of 2006, the highest spot price of gold was $730 per ounce compared to a
high of $446 per ounce for the same period in 2005. The lowest spot price of gold was $517 per
ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2006, 26 percent higher than $410 per ounce, the lowest
spot price of gold for the same period ended June 30, 2005.

Gold production
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti’s total gold production decreased by
383,000 ounces, or about 12 percent, to 2.76 million ounces from 3.14 million ounces produced in the
same period in 2005. In South Africa, gold production decreased from 1,329,000 ounces produced in
the six months to June 30, 2005, to 1,257,000 ounces produced in the same period of 2006 due to
lower recovered grades and volume mined at Great Noligwa and downsizing at Tau Lekoa. Gold
production in Tanzania, Australia and Ghana decreased from 357,000 ounces, 261,000 ounces and
343,000 ounces, respectively, produced in the six months to June 30, 2005, to 155,000 ounces,
204,000 ounces and 304,000 ounces produced, respectively, in the same period in 2006. This was
mainly due to the impact of adverse weather conditions, the delay in the Nyankanga pit push-back and
lower recovered grade (at Geita in Tanzania), grade streaming and mining of high grade Watu and
Western Shear zone ore during 2005 (at Sunrise Dam in Australia) and the downscaling of Bibiani to a
tailings-only operation in 2006. Gold production in Argentina increased from 108,000 ounces produced
in the six months to June 30, 2005, to 117,000 ounces produced over the same period of 2006, mainly
due to higher feed grade at Cerro Vanguardia.
background image
23
In the quarter ended June 30, 2006, gold production increased by 75,000 ounces to 1.42 million
ounces, or 6 percent from 1.34 million ounces produced during the quarter ended March 31, 2006
mainly due to higher volumes mined, improved recovered grade as well as the release of previously
locked-up material in South Africa (at Kopanang, Mponeng and TauTona); in Australia (at Sunrise
Dam) and in Mali (at Sadiola and Yatela) due to higher tonnage throughput and higher recovered
grades.
Total cash cost and total production cost
Total cash costs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $321 per ounce, $40 per ounce, or
14 percent, higher than the cash costs of $281 per ounce recorded in the same period in 2005. This
change was mainly due to substantially higher cash costs for the Australian, Brazilian, Tanzanian and
Guinean operations in the six months ended June 30, 2006, which increased by 25 percent,
23 percent, 109 percent and 42 percent respectively, when compared to the same period in 2005. The
increase in total cash costs at the Australian, Brazilian and Tanzanian operations was mainly due to
inflationary cost increases and lower gold production when compared to the same period in 2005. The
operation in Guinea (at Siguiri) recorded higher total cash costs in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 mainly as a result of maintenance shut-downs and a short period of industrial action
(which has been resolved) when compared to the same period in 2005. Non-capitalization of stripping
costs during the six months ended June 30, 2006 accounted for nearly $15 per ounce of the total
increase in total cash costs per ounce from the same period in 2005.
Total cash costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were in line with total cash costs recorded in the
quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Total production costs per ounce for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $452 per ounce,
$64 per ounce, or 16 percent, higher than the total production costs of $388 per ounce recorded in the
same period in 2005.
Reconciliation of total cash costs and total production costs to the condensed
consolidated financial information
Total cash costs and total production costs are calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the
Gold Institute industry standard and are not US GAAP measures. The Gold Institute was a non-profit
international association of miners, refiners, bullion suppliers and manufacturers of gold products. This
institute has now been incorporated into the National Mining Association, which has developed a
uniform format for reporting total production costs on a per ounce basis. The guidance was first
adopted in 1996 and revised in November 1999.
Total cash costs, as defined in the Gold Institute industry guidelines are production costs as recorded
in the statement of operations, less offsite (i.e. central), general and administrative expenses
(including head office costs charged to the mines, central training expenses, industry association fees,
refinery charges and social development costs) and rehabilitation costs, plus royalties and employee
termination costs.
Total cash costs as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti include costs for all mining,
processing, administration, royalties and production taxes, as well as contributions from by-products,
but exclusive of depreciation, depletion and amortization, rehabilitation, employment severance costs,
corporate administration costs, capital costs and exploration costs. Total cash costs per ounce are
calculated by dividing attributable total cash costs by attributable ounces of gold produced.

Total production costs, as defined in the Gold Institute industry guidelines, are total cash costs, as
calculated using the Gold Institute industry guidelines, plus amortization, depreciation and
rehabilitation costs. Total production costs as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti include
total cash costs, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, employee severance costs and
rehabilitation and other non-cash costs. Total production costs per ounce are calculated by dividing
attributable total production costs by attributable ounces of gold produced.
Prior to January 1, 2006 stripping costs incurred in open-pit operations during the production phase to
remove additional waste were charged to operating costs on the basis of the average life of mine
stripping ratio and the average life of mine costs per tonne and resulted in capitalization of such
stripping costs (deferred stripping). EITF Issue 04-6 prohibits capitalization of post production stripping
costs effective from January 1, 2006. Except for this impact on total cash costs and total production
costs, total cash costs and total production costs have been calculated on a consistent basis for all
periods presented.
Total cash costs and total production costs should not be considered by investors in isolation or as
alternatives to production costs, net income/(loss) applicable to common stockholders, income/(loss)
before income tax provision, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of
financial performance presented in accordance with US GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s
performance. While the Gold Institute has provided definitions for the calculation of total cash costs
and total production costs, the calculation of total cash costs, total cash costs per ounce, total
production costs and total production 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, the Company believes that total cash costs and total production costs in
total and per ounce are useful indicators to investors and management because 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 mining companies.
A reconciliation of production costs as included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial information to total cash costs and to total production costs for each of the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005 is presented below. In addition the Company has provided below details of
the attributable ounces of gold produced in total for each of those periods.

In addition to the operational performances of the mines, total cash costs per ounce and total production
costs per ounce are affected by fluctuations in the currency exchange rate. AngloGold Ashanti reports
total cash costs per ounce and total production costs per ounce calculated to the nearest US dollar amount
and gold produced in ounces.
Capital expenditures
Total capital expenditure during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $337 million compared to
$311 million in the same period in 2005. This $26 million, or 8 percent, increase is primarily the result
of the following factors: the $53 million increase in capital expenditure in the Brazilian region from
$31 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $84 million spent for the same period in
2006, mainly due to the expansion project at the Cuiabá mine in south-eastern Brazil offset by the
$23 million decrease in capital expenditure in South Africa, from $162 million spent in the six months
ended June 30, 2005 to $139 million for the same period in 2006, mainly due to lower capital spent on
the Moab Khotsong and TauTona projects and downsizing of operations at Savuka and Tau Lekoa.
Comparison of financial performance on a segment basis for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005
The Company produces gold as its primary product and does not have distinct divisional segments in
terms of principal business activity, but manages its business on the basis of different geographic
segments. This information is consistent with the information used by the Company’s chief operating

Comparison of financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and
2005
Revenues
Revenues from product sales and other income increased from $1,263 million in the first six months of
2005 to $1,305 million in the same period of 2006, representing a 3 percent increase over the period.
This was mainly due to the increase in the gold price in the first six months of 2006 as the average
spot price of gold was $591 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2006, $164 per ounce, or
38 percent, higher than $427 per ounce, the average spot price of gold in the first six months of 2005,
being largely offset by decreased production. The majority of product sales consisted of US dollar-
denominated gold sales.
Total revenues from the South African operations increased by $73 million to $657 million over the six
months ended June 30, 2006 from $584 million realized in the same period in 2005, as a direct result
of the higher gold price. This was achieved despite a total decrease in gold production from operations
located in South Africa by 72,000 ounces from 1,329,000 ounces produced in the six months to
June 30, 2005, to 1,257,000 ounces produced over the same period of 2006.
Total revenues derived from Argentina increased to $70 million over the six months ended
June 30, 2006 from $44 million realized in the same period of 2005 mainly as a result of the higher
gold price and an increase in gold production at Cerro Vanguardia.
Total revenues generated in Tanzania (at Geita) decreased by $65 million, or 48 percent, from
$136 million realized in the first six months of 2005 to $71 million in the same period in 2006 as a
result of a decrease in gold production, which more than offset the increase in gold price.
Production costs
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti incurred production costs of
$764 million representing a decrease of $26 million, or 3 percent, from $790 million recorded for the
same period of 2005.
Production costs in AngloGold Ashanti’s South Africa operations decreased by $29 million to
$360 million in the first six months of 2006 from $389 million for the same period of 2005 mainly as a
result of a continued focus on cost saving initiatives assisted by the weakening of the South African
rand relative to the US dollar. About 47 percent of AngloGold Ashanti’s production costs were
denominated in South African rands in the first six months of 2006.
Production costs recorded from operations in Argentina and Brazil collectively increased from
$53 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $68 million over the same period in 2006 mainly
due to the impact of inflationary cost increases and the strengthening of local currencies relative to the
US dollar.
Exploration costs
Exploration costs increased from $22 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $29 million in
the same period in 2006 mainly due to increased exploration activities in Australia, the Democratic
Republic of Congo and Guinea.
background image
28
Related party transactions
Related party transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2006 amounted to $9 million compared
with $21 million for the same period of 2005. The reduction was mainly due to lower contract work
generated by development activities and to transactions with subsidiaries of Anglo American plc no
longer disclosed, following the reduction of Anglo American plc’s shareholding in AngloGold Ashanti to
less than 50 percent interest held, as a result of the sale in the public offering, of some of its shares in
AngloGold Ashanti which was completed in April 2006.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased from $37 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2005 to $44 million in the same period in 2006, mainly due to increased headcount, bonus
and annual salary increments.
Royalties
Royalties paid by AngloGold Ashanti increased from $20 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2005, to $25 million paid in the same period in 2006. Royalties are mostly calculated based
on a percentage of revenues and are payable primarily to local governments.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased by $56 million to $338 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2006 when compared to $282 million recorded in the same period in 2005.
This increase was mainly due to increases in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in
South Africa and Ghana from $119 million and $53 million, respectively, incurred in the six months
ended June 30, 2005 to $160 million and $61 million, respectively, in the same period of 2006 mainly
as a result of changes in estimated lives of assets, additional expansion-related capital expenditures
and amortized ore development costs.
Impairment of assets
No impairment was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006. In the six months ended
June 30, 2005 the Company recorded an impairment of assets of $7 million relating to the
abandonment of exploration activities and expansion projects at Tau Lekoa and TauTona in South
Africa. However, an adverse change in impairment-related assumptions which may not be mitigated
by a change in other factors may result in impairments going forward.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased by $6 million from $39 million recorded in the six months ended
June 30, 2005 to $45 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 mainly due to higher average
debt balances, particularly short term money market loans. As at June 30, 2006 all of AngloGold
Ashanti’s debt (exclusive of the rand denominated corporate bond and local South African borrowings)
was denominated in US dollars.
Accretion expense
Accretion expense of $9 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with
$1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Accretion relates to the unwinding of discounted

future reclamation obligations to present values and increases the reclamation obligations to its future
estimated payout.
Profit on sale of assets, loans and indirect taxes
In the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a profit on sale of assets of $19 million
(before taxation of $1 million) relating mainly to the disposal of minor equipment and assets in South
America, recovery of loans written off and over-provision of indirect taxes in Guinea and Tanzania. No
profit on sale of assets was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Non-hedge derivative loss/gain
A non-hedge derivative loss of $356 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006
compared to a gain of $11 million in the same period of 2005 as a direct result of increase in the gold
price relating to the use of commodity instruments that are not classified as hedging instruments for
financial reporting purposes.
Taxation benefit
A net taxation benefit of $7 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to
a net benefit of $15 million in the same period in 2005. Charges for current tax in the six months
ended June 30, 2006 amounted to $69 million compared to $5 million in the same period in 2005
reflecting mainly the impact of the South African tax formula to the increase in the earnings of the
operations in that country. Charges for deferred tax in the six months ended June 30, 2006 amounted
to a net tax benefit of $76 million compared to a net tax benefit of $20 million in the same period in
2005.
Equity income in affiliates
Equity income in affiliates increased to $33 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from
$19 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 mainly as a result of increased earnings of
operations in Mali.
Discontinued operations
A profit of $1 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a loss of
$33 million in the same period in 2005 due to the closure of the Ergo operations (at the end of
March 2005) as described by note H “Discontinued operations” to the condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Cumulative effect of accounting change
During 2005, the Company changed its accounting policy, retroactive to January 1, 2005, with respect
to accounting for employee benefit plans to recognize the effects of actuarial gains and losses in
income, rather than amortizing over the expected average remaining service period of employees
participating in the plan. This resulted in a cumulative change in accounting policy effect of $22 million
(net of taxation of $11 million) reflected in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as described by note I
“Change in accounting for employee benefit plans” to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

Net loss/income
As a result of the factors detailed above, a net loss of $282 million was recorded in the six months
ended June 30, 2006 compared to net income of $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Liquidity and capital resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $385 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006,
$224 million higher than $161 million for the comparable period in 2005. This is mainly the result of
higher unit prices of gold being partially offset by lower production and higher costs and expenses
over the first six months of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005.
Investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulted in a net cash outflow of
$267 million compared with an outflow of $323 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Cash
inflows resulting from the restructuring of the AngloGold Ashanti hedge book amounted to $51 million
during the first six months of 2006 and additions to property, plant and equipment, which included
capital expenditure of $335 million, were recorded in the first half of 2006 compared to $304 million in
the same period in 2005 for major capital projects, including Moab Khotsong and TauTona in South
Africa and the expansion project at the Cuiabá mine in south-eastern Brazil.
Net cash generated in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 amounted to an
inflow of $35 million, which is a decrease of $86 million from an inflow of $121 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2005, and included cash inflows from proceeds from loans of $28 million and
proceeds from stock issued of $509 million following the public share offering completed in April 2006.
Cash outflows during the six months ended June 30, 2006 comprised normal scheduled loan
repayments of $3 million, the repayment of $400 million under the $700 million unsecured syndicated
loan facility and of $118 million in local short term money market loans. The Company made dividend
payments of $40 million (10 US cents per ordinary share) in the six months ended June 30, 2006
compared with dividends of $87 million (30 US cents per ordinary share) paid in the same period in
2005, a 54 percent decrease.
As a result of the items discussed above, at June 30, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti had $332 million of
cash and cash equivalents compared with $196 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of
$136 million, or 69 percent. At June 30, 2006, the Company had a total of $652 million available but
undrawn under its credit facilities.
AngloGold Ashanti is currently involved in a number of capital expansion projects under “Capital
expenditures” above. At June 30, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti had total contracted capital expenditure of
$382 million related to capital projects.
To service the above capital commitments and other operational requirements the Company is
dependant upon cash generated from operations and borrowing facilities.
Cash generated from the South African operations funds, 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 Company’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.
During the next twelve months, approximately $32 million of AngloGold Ashanti’s debt is scheduled to
mature consisting mainly of normal scheduled repayments under loan facilities.
The Company expects to finance capital expenditure projects and the repayment of debt scheduled to
mature in 2006 from cash on hand, cash flow from operations and its credit facilities.
Critical accounting policies
The preparation of AngloGold Ashanti’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the year. For a full discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies, please
see “Item 5: Operating and financial review and prospects – Critical accounting policies” in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005 which was filed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 20, 2006.
Recently adopted accounting policies
As described by note C “Deferred stripping costs” to the condensed consolidated financial statements,
on January 1, 2006 the Company adopted The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-6,
“Accounting for Stripping Costs in the Mining Industry”. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of
accounting change reduced opening retained earnings by $97 million (net of Taxation), increased the
value of inventory by $5 million, eliminated the capitalized deferred stripping balance of $105 million,
decreased Deferred taxation by $5 million, reduced Other long-term assets by $3 million and
decreased Minority interest by $1 million. Adoption of the new guidance will have no impact on the
Company’s cash position or net cash from operations. Prior to 2006 stripping costs incurred in open-
pit operations during the production phase to remove additional waste were charged to operating
costs on the basis of the average life of mine stripping ratio and the average life of mine costs per
tonne and resulted in capitalization of stripping costs (deferred stripping).
As described by note J “Stock-based compensation plans” to the condensed consolidated financial
statements, on January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for
share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations”, as permitted by SFAS123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company adopted SFAS123(R) using the modified
prospective transition method. The results for prior periods have not been restated. SFAS123(R) also
requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a
financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. This requirement will reduce net operating
cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. This requirement did not
impact the Company’s cash flow disclosure for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as the Company
does not receive the benefit of a tax deduction for compensation cost settled in equity. At
June 30, 2006, the Company has four stock-based employee compensation plans consisting of time-
based awards, performance related awards and the Bonus Share Plan (BSP) and Long-Term
Incentive Plan (LTIP) treated as equity settled compensation plans under SFAS123(R). During the six
months ended June 30, 2006 the Company recognized a compensation expense of $2 million related
to the BSP and LTIP plans in accordance with the provisions of SFAS123(R).

As of June 30, 2006, there was $nil million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to unvested stock options. The probability of these
stock options vesting is considered to be remote.
There was no change in the Company's loss before income taxes, net loss and basic and diluted loss
per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of adopting SFAS123(R) on
January 1, 2006, than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under
APB No. 25.
Recent pronouncement
As described by note Q “Recent pronouncement” to the condensed consolidated financial statements,
on July 13, 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB interpretation
No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with
SFAS109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The Company is reviewing the guidance issued in FIN 48 and has not yet
determined the impact of this on the financial statements.
Contractual obligations
In addition to the contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F
for the year ended December 31, 2005, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company
repaid $400 million under the $700 million unsecured syndicated loan facility (due January 2008) and
$118 million in local short term money market loans. These amounts were funded from proceeds
raised through the public share offering (completed in April 2006) and cash flow from operations. As at
June 30, 2006, $85 million was drawn under the $700 million loan facility. Outstanding local short term
money market loans included in short-term debt amounted to $7 million as at June 30, 2006.
Heap leach inventory
The costs of materials currently contained on leach pads are reported as a separate line item apart
from inventory. As of June 30, 2006, $39 million was classified as short term compared with
$37 million as at December 31, 2005 as AngloGold Ashanti expects the related gold to be recovered
within twelve months. As of June 30, 2006, $142 million was classified as long term compared with
$116 million as at December 31, 2005.

Hedging overview
AngloGold Ashanti manages its revenue risk through an actively directed hedging program within
board directed limits. Management continues to have the latitude to put new contracts in place where
the gold price and operating circumstances make this necessary or prudent.
At June 30, 2006, the net delta hedge position of AngloGold Ashanti was at 10.14 million ounces at a
spot price of gold of $620 per ounce. The net delta hedge position reflects a decrease of
1,090,000 ounces in the net size of the AngloGold Ashanti hedges compared with the quarter ended
March 31, 2006. This decrease was due to maturing positions and hedge reducing strategies that
resulted in the hedge decreasing by some 1.37 million ounces, offset by an increase in delta due to
the second quarter end gold price of $620 per ounce being $38 per ounce higher than the first
quarter’s closing gold price of $582 per ounce. The marked-to-market valuation of this position at June
30, 2006 was negative $3,167 million. The Company has continued to manage its hedge positions
actively, and to reduce overall levels of pricing commitments in respect of future production of gold by
the Company.
At June 30, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti 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
10.14 million ounces (at March 31, 2006: 11.23 million ounces). This is calculated using the Black-
Scholes option formula with the ruling market prices, interest rates and volatilities as at June 30, 2006.
The marked-to-market value of all hedge transactions making up the hedge positions was a negative
$3,167 million at June 30, 2006 (at March 31, 2006: negative $2,707 million). These values were
based on a gold price of $620 per ounce, exchange rates of R7.088/$ and A$/$0.7438 and the
prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at that date.
At July 26, 2006 (AngloGold Ashanti issued its IFRS results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 on
July 27, 2006), the marked-to-market value of the hedge book was a negative $3,115 million based on
a gold price of $618.95 per ounce and exchange rates of R7.04/$ and A$/$0.758 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
the 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.

Recent developments
On February 10, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti announced the appointment of Reginald Bannerman, a
Ghanaian lawyer, to the board of directors.
On February 27, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti announced that it had signed an agreement with Dynasty
Gold Corporation, a Vancouver-based company, with exploration activities in China, to acquire an
effective 8.7 percent stake in that company through a purchase of 5.75 million Dynasty units at a price
of C$0.40 each. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half common share purchase
warrant exercisable at a price of C$0.60 per unit for two years.
At a general meeting held on April 10, 2006, ordinary resolutions were passed with the requisite
majority, providing authority to the directors to allot sufficient ordinary shares of the Company to allow
it to raise $500 million before expenses but after underwriters’ fees in a public offering. The offering
was completed on April 20, 2006 and resulted in the issue of 9,970,732 new ordinary shares, along
with the simultaneous sale of 19,685,170 AngloGold Ashanti shares held by Anglo American plc (AA
plc), reducing AA plc’s holding in the Company to 41.8 percent. The combined offering was priced at
$51.25 per ADS and R315.19 per ordinary share (a 1 percent discount to the weighted average traded
price of the shares on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) over the 30 days prior to pricing). Net
proceeds to AngloGold Ashanti of the primary offering approximated $495 million, which will be used
for project development capital, capital expenditure and other general corporate purposes. Pending
such use, AngloGold Ashanti used the proceeds to reduce short-term loans and borrowings under its
revolving credit facility.
On May 10, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti announced that Kelvin Williams, who has been Executive
Director of Marketing since the establishment of AngloGold in 1998, retired from the board effective
May 6, 2006.
On June 1, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti and Bema Gold Corporation announced that they are to form a
new company which will jointly explore a select group of AngloGold Ashanti’s mineral opportunities
located in Northern Colombia, with initial work focused on the La Mina and El Pino targets. As part of
the agreement, AngloGold Ashanti has initially agreed to provide a minimum of eight exploration
properties while Bema will provide a minimum of $5 million in exploration funding.
On June 15, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti announced the signature of a Letter of Intent with International
Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (ITH), for the sale and option of AngloGold Ashanti’s 100 percent interest in
eight Alaskan mineral exploration properties and associated databases to ITH. ITH will issue to
AngloGold Ashanti 19.99 percent of its issued shares following the acquisition and the completion of
equity financing to raise a minimum of $10 million for future exploration activities. ITH will be required
to raise an additional approximate $6 million either prior to or concurrently with the closing of the
acquisition from AngloGold Ashanti. AngloGold Ashanti will also grant ITH the exclusive option to
acquire a 60 percent interest in each of its LMS and Terra projects by incurring $3 million of
exploration expenditure on each project within four years of the grant date of the option, following
which AngloGold Ashanti will have the option to increase or dilute its stake in these projects, subject to
certain conditions.
On July 14, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti announced the signing of a Heads of Agreement with
Antofagasta PLC to jointly explore a highly prospective belt in Southern Colombia for new gold and
copper deposits. AngloGold Ashanti will include all of its mineral applications, contracts and third
party contracts within the area of interest in the new joint venture, while Antofagasta will commit to
fund a minimum of $1.3 million of exploration within 12 months of the signing of the agreement, with
an option to invest an additional $6.7 million within four years in order to earn-in to 50 percent of the
joint venture. Both AngloGold Ashanti and Antofagasta will have the right to increase their interests by
20 percent in copper-dominant and gold-dominant properties subject to certain conditions.
