Certain statements made during this communication, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining
industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs and other operating results, growth prospects and the outlook of
AngloGold Ashanti’s operations including 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.
For a discussion of such factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2006, which was distributed to
shareholders on 29 March 2007. AngloGold Ashanti undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-
looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after today’s date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 and GCGC will mail a proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders, and each will
be filing other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as well. BEFORE
MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME
AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. The final proxy
statement/prospectus will be mailed to GCGC’s stockholders. Stockholders will be able to obtain a free copy of the proxy
statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about AngloGold Ashanti and GCGC, without charge, at the SEC’s
