Certain statements contained in this document, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, those concerning the
economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, all-in costs,
cost savings and other operating results, return on equity, productivity improvements, growth prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s
operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the achievement of project milestones, commencement and completion of commercial
operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production projects and the completion of acquisitions, dispositions or joint
venture transactions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources and capital expenditures and the outcome and consequence of any
potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings or environmental health and safety issues, are forward-looking statements regarding
AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, economic performance and financial condition.
These forward-looking statements or forecasts involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause AngloGold
Ashanti’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed
or implied in these forward-looking statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements and forecasts are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results
could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic, social and
political and market conditions, the success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government
actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation
proceedings, and business and operational risk management.
For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti’s annual reports on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission. 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. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. AngloGold
Ashanti undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable law. All
subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to AngloGold Ashanti or any person acting on its behalf are qualified by the
cautionary statements herein.

and ratios in managing its business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the reported
