Certain statements made in 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 outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations,
individually or in the aggregate, including the completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and
production projects and the completion of announced mergers and acquisitions transactions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity, capital resources and capital
expenditure and the outcome and consequences of any litigation or regulatory proceedings or environmental issues, 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
including environmental approvals and actions, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. For a
discussion of certain of these and other factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2010, which was distributed to
shareholders on 29 March 2011 and the company’s 2010 annual report on Form 20-F, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the
United States on May 31, 2011. These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on
future results. 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. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements
attributable to AngloGold Ashanti or any person acting on its behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements herein.
This communication may contain certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures. AngloGold Ashanti utilises certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios
in managing its business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the reported operating results or
cash flow from operations or any other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies may use.
AngloGold Ashanti posts information that is important to investors on the main page of its website at www.anglogoldashanti.com and under the “Investors”
tab on the main page. This information is updated regularly. Investors should visit this website to obtain important information about AngloGold Ashanti.
