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 and dispositions, 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 report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2013, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on 14 April 2014. 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.

Financial and Operating Report

OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER

AngloGold Ashanti continued to make progress in the second quarter on its five key business objectives, namely: improving safety and sustainability; enhancing financial flexibility; optimising overhead and operating costs and capital expenditure; improving the quality of its portfolio; and maintaining long-term optionality in the business.

Strong performance across each of these objectives supported the key strategic objective of sustainably improving cash flow and returns. Despite a 9% lower gold price in the three months to June 30, compared with the same period a year earlier, strong business improvements were made on all key metrics. Gold production rose 17% year-on-year to 1,098,000oz. Total cash costs declined by 7% from a year earlier to $836/oz, despite ongoing inflationary pressure in all operating jurisdictions. The operating result was assisted by a positive production performance from the South Africa Region in particular, as well as first-time second-quarter contributions from the new Tropicana and Kibali mines. All elements of the business have maintained a sharp focus on cost controls to help drive further productivity gains.

Expenditure on –corporate and marketing costs and exploration and evaluation costs decreased by 65% and 58%, respectively year-on-year, helping drive all-in-sustaining costs down by 19% to $1,060/oz. These fundamental improvements together helped drive a 140% improvement in cash flow from operating activities. AngloGold Ashanti agreed two new, five-year revolving credit facilities with its syndicate of banks -- $1bn and A$500m – replacing existing facilities. The new RCFs extend maturities and carry more favourable financial covenant ratios of 3.5 times Total Net Financial Indebtedness : EBITDA (as defined in the RCF’s).This slate of operating and financial achievements was all made against the backdrop of a record safety performance. The company recorded no fatalities for the quarter, for the third time in its history and the first time since 2010. Several operations passed key milestones and records were set on key safety metrics.

“We’re on track to meet our targeted savings in operating and overhead costs – all while delivering production growth and a record safety result,” Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer of AngloGold Ashanti, said. “We’re making hard decisions as we focus on free cash flow and returns for shareholders through active portfolio management, discipline, and strong leadership.”

SAFETY

The second quarter passed without a fatality at any of the company’s operations, the third time in AngloGold Ashanti that this achievement has been recorded, and this being the first time in almost four years. The fatality injury frequency rate across the business improved another 20% from the record figures posted at the end of 2013. The safety result reflects an exceptionally strong performance across all regions, with South Africa in particular – which posted strong year-on-year improvements across all key safety metrics -- making important strides toward our goal of zero harm. Eleven operating units ended the quarter without a single lost time injury and of those, eight have that same achievement for the year to date. And importantly, more than 2,200 fewer lost work days have been reported so far this year, relative to the same period in 2013, underscoring the fact that safety improvements are not only the right thing to pursue for an ethical standpoint, but are important from a business perspective, too.

Notwithstanding this, our focus on safety continues particularly where we have seen success on visible leadership, technology application, hazard management and ongoing focus on training, Major Hazard Management through identification and monitoring of critical controls and High Potential Incidents with a view of enhancing organisational learning and institutionalising change in order to further improve our safety record progress going forward.

“The gains made on safety are the most important indicators of progress for us.” Venkat said. “But we recognise that complacency is the enemy, and we need to continue our intense focus on employing technology and improving our behaviours at every level, to gain more ground.”

FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW

Production was 1,098,000oz at an average total cash cost of $836/oz, compared to 1,055,000oz at $770/oz the previous quarter and 935,000oz at $898/oz in the second quarter of 2013. Year-on-year costs benefited from higher output, weaker currencies and early indications that a range of cost saving initiatives continue to gain traction.

Production from all regions -- except for the Americas -- improved year-on-year, helped by the contribution from Kibali and Tropicana and a strong performance from the South Africa Region. South African operations achieved a 4% year-on-year increase in production to 319,000oz; Continental Africa improved 15% to 395,000oz; Australia was up 210% year-on-year to 155,000oz; the Americas declined 3% year-on-year to 229,000oz.

Gold income increased by $79m from $1,242m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to $1,321m in the corresponding period of 2014, representing a 6% increase year-on-year. The increase was mainly due to a 19%, or 176,000oz, increase in gold sold from 912,000oz for the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to 1,088,000oz for the same period in 2014. The increase was partially offset by the $132/oz, or 9% decrease in the gold price received from $1,421/oz for the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to $1,289/oz for the corresponding period in 2014.

Total cash costs dropped $62/oz compared to the previous year, from $898/oz to $836/oz, reflecting significant improvements from a combination of cost saving initiatives, currency weakness, removal of some marginal and loss-making production and higher output in some areas. All-in sustaining costs (AISC) excluding stockpile write offs were $1,060/oz, a 19% improvement year-on-year, and 7% higher than the previous quarter due to capital expenditure profiling. The year-on-year decline in AISC was due to the higher ounces sold, improved total cash costs, lower corporate and exploration costs as well as lower sustaining capital expenditure.

Weaker local currencies against the US dollar in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 played a role in improved operating costs as the South African rand depreciated by 11%, the Australian dollar by 6%, the Brazilian real by 8% and the Argentina Peso by 54% over this period.

Production costs increased from $840m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to $894m in the quarter ended 30 June 2014, which represents a $54m, or 6% increase, due mainly to the first-time introduction of two new mines – Kibali and Tropicana. The higher operational costs, given the two new operations, include fuel and power costs and service costs, partly offset by a reduction in labour costs, contractor costs and consumable stores as well as the weakening of local currencies against the US dollar.

Fuel and Power costs increased from $155m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to $174m in the quarter ended 30 June 2014, which represents a $19m, or 12%, increase. The power cost increase was due to electricity tariff and annual inflationary increases, in addition to the costs incurred by the two new mines.

 

     4    


Cost of sales was $1,064m for the quarter ended 30 June 2014 compared to $1,012m for the corresponding period in 2013, again due largely to the first-time second-quarter contribution of two new mines, Tropicana and Kibali. Included in cost of sales is amortisation of tangible and intangible assets and movements in unsold gold inventory, which were at similar levels to the periods under review at $173m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 and to $170m in the same period of 2014. Amortisation decreased by $26m representing the impact of impairments in 2013 and higher ounces produced and the revision of useful lives in 2014. Movements in inventory change related to the cost of unsold gold which decreased from $41m in June 2013 quarter to $18m in the June 2014 quarter.

Despite the introduction of two new operations, labour costs declined 10% from $315m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to $285m in the corresponding period of 2014. This was mainly due to rationalisation and restructuring across the group. Contractor costs declined 19% from $162m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to $131m in the quarter ended 30 June 2014. The decrease in contractor costs was primarily a result of negotiating lower contract rates and the lower utilisation of mine contractors.

(Loss) profit attributable to equity shareholders for the second quarter of 2014 was a loss of $80m, compared to $39m profit for the previous quarter and a loss of $2,165m for the second quarter of 2013 which was impacted by asset impairments and stockpile write-downs. The current quarter was impacted by operational closure and termination costs, operational restructuring costs, impairments of investments and inventory write-downs.

Total capital expenditure during the second quarter was $311m (including equity accounted joint ventures), compared with $274m the previous quarter and $556m in the second quarter of 2013. Of the total capital expenditure, non-sustaining project capital expenditure during the quarter amounted to $107m. Capital expenditure is expected to increase in the second half of the year mainly due to timing of expenditures forecast in the Americas region.

As at 30 June 2014, total borrowings (including a bank overdraft) amounted to $3,810m and cash and cash equivalents amounted to $604m.

CORPORATE UPDATE

Natural gas for Western Australian mines: On 21 July 2014, Anglogold Ashanti signed agreements with the natural gas infrastructure company APA Group (APA) for the transportation of natural gas to the Sunrise Dam and Tropicana gold mines in Western Australia. Under the agreements, APA will construct a new 292km pipeline which will connect to its Goldfields Gas Pipeline via the lateral pipeline at the Murrin Murrin nickel mine, and then extend past Sunrise Dam to Tropicana.

Natural gas is a cleaner fuel than diesel and its use will likely reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The power stations at both mines will be modified in order to run on 100% natural gas, while retaining diesel backup capability. The shift is expected to reduce cash operating costs at both sites by between A$25/oz to $30/oz, while also providing continuity of fuel supply, reduce exposure to diesel price volatility and significantly reduce the number of trucks on the road, providing an important safety benefit as well as reducing road maintenance costs.

Construction is scheduled to start in February 2015 with first gas scheduled to be available at Tropicana in January 2016.

CFO Announcement: On 7 July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti announced the appointment of Christine Ramon to the post of Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of the Board, from 1 October 2014. The appointment of Ms. Ramon, a chartered accountant, follows a global search by the Board of Directors, as indicated in our press release of 21 May 2013. She was formerly the CFO at Sasol Limited, Africa’s largest publicly-traded energy and chemicals company for seven years until September of last year. She will replace Richard Duffy, who will then step down from both the Board and the Executive Committee.

Sale of Navachab mine complete: AngloGold Ashanti announced the completion of its sale of AngloGold Ashanti Namibia (Proprietary) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary which owns the Navachab Gold Mine, to QKR Corporation Limited. The transaction, announced on 10 February this year, was concluded on 30 June 2014 resulting in proceeds of $105m.

Corporate refinancing: The Company has successfully signed a new, five-year $1bn revolving credit facility with an increased net debt to adjusted EBITDA covenant ratio of 3.5 times versus the previous facility at 3 times, with one conditional six-month period waiver of up to 4.5 times. These same terms have been applied to a new A$500m five-year facility, which has replaced the previous A$600m revolving credit facility.

“These new facilities further improve our tenor and financial flexibility and create additional, long-term liquidity on our balance sheet,” Chief Financial Officer Richard Duffy said. “The improved terms and longer maturities are especially important given the volatile gold price environment.”

Restructure of the Obuasi mining operation: Addressing the underperformance at Obuasi remains a key objective for AngloGold Ashanti. The restructuring and repositioning of the Obuasi mine, which is subject to a number of consents, is likely to result in a substantial reduction in the mine’s existing operations and significant workforce redundancies. Fundamental changes aimed at systemically addressing legacies, infrastructure, development constraints and cash outflows are being implemented while surface production, exploration drilling and decline development remain ongoing. This work includes initiatives to reduce the footprint of the operation and consolidate infrastructure, lower operating costs by introducing a mechanised mining approach in the future, together with the refurbishment and automation of the processing plant.

The Amendment to Program of Mining Operations, which details technical, environmental, financial and social details around the transition, was submitted to the Government of Ghana and key regulators for review on 18 July, to be followed by a two-month consultation period. An amended Environment Management Plan has been filed with the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency and a multi-stakeholder working group has been established. AngloGold Ashanti remains firmly committed to engaging with the Government of Ghana, its employees and other important local and regional stakeholders throughout this process, as it seeks to return this key asset to sustainable, long-term profitability for the benefit of all constituencies.

WAGE NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE

The two-year wage agreement with the majority of the employees in AngloGold Ashanti’s South Africa region, and in the country’s gold sector, was concluded in September 2013 and backdated to 1 July 2013. The Association of Mining and Construction Union, or AMCU, voluntarily participated in the negotiations but did not sign the wage agreement. However, the wage agreement was extended to all employees irrespective of their union affiliation, as a result the AMCU members have all benefited from the above-mentioned increase.

On 5 June this year, the Labour Court declared that a threatened strike by AMCU members would be unprotected under South African law. AMCU has since simultaneously brought two applications for leave to appeal; one to the Labour Court (seeking permission to appeal to the Labour Appeal Court); and another to the Constitutional Court (seeking permission to appeal directly to the Constitutional Court). The application to the Labour Court for permission to appeal to the Labour Appeal Court has been brought on a conditional basis. AngloGold Ashanti continues to engage its employees directly in addition to communicating through their labour unions in order to ensure that constructive dialogue is maintained.

UPDATE ON CAPITAL PROJECTS

In the Americas, the CC&V Mine Life Extension (MLE) Project continues to progress in line with expectations. The valley leach facility (VLF) and associated gold recovery plant is on schedule to commission in mid-2016. The MLE2 Project was 47% complete through the second quarter. The High Grade Mill is on schedule and is expected to deliver first gold production towards the end of 2014. All major mill equipment has been set in place and the remaining work is largely piping and electrical. Overall mill construction is 79% complete. Mill concrete is 99% complete, steel is 91% complete, and all major mill equipment has been set in place.

In the DRC, at Kibali the vertical shaft is progressing well with the shaft now at a depth of 525m, with focus shifting towards off-shaft lateral development. The development work on the twin declines is progressing well with a total of 1,803 lateral metres achieved for the second quarter, exceeding the planned metres for the second quarter by a margin of 18.9% or 287m. The Nzoro 66KV line and substation has been commissioned with Nzoro 2 delivering 10MW in early July 2014. The integration between hydro and thermal power without any power outages is currently being worked upon. From a production perspective, the ramp up of the sulphide circuit has been a challenge due to late commissioning of the secondary crushing circuit, regrind circuit and pump cells. During the second quarter, more clay and transitional sulphides were treated than forecast, causing materials handling problems and flotation inefficiency. The oxide circuit also experienced some unexpected stoppages. The focus of the site teams is to ramp up production and improve plant availability.

TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION UPDATE

During the second quarter, the Technology Innovation Consortium continued to make considerable progress in prototype development pertaining to certain key technologies that seek to establish the base for a safe, automated mining method intended for selective use at AngloGold Ashanti’s deep-level underground mining operations. Progress on various aspects of the project is as follows:

 

1. Reef Boring:

 

    TauTona mine – Test site:

In the second quarter, nine holes were drilled. Due to the change in reef channel width, the holes were drilled at different diameters ranging from 660mm up to 1,060mm.

The overall results of these holes in the testing drilling sequence proved to be successful. The results are being applied to the current drilling test sites at TauTona mine.

Testing with the modified drilling machines has commenced at two of the test sites during the second quarter and the third after quarter-end. The focus was on eliminating teething problems associated with commissioning and by the end of the period the drilling time per hole stood at 4.5 days.

 

    Great Noligwa mine:

Testing of the new narrow reef machine started and five holes were drilled in the second quarter. While 150mm pilot holes were successfully bored, wider reaming of those holes presented challenges. The softer footwall conditions associated with the C-reef ground are contributing to this challenge and the reaming bits are currently being modified to investigate if this will resolve the problem.

 

    Site Equipping:

Site equipping, opening up and development of the 2014 test sites at TauTona mine have been completed. Work continues on equipping the test sites at Kopanang, Great Noligwa and Moab Khotsong mines.

 

2. Ore body Knowledge and Exploration:

A trial site was established and the current machine modified for rotary percussion drilling. Five trial holes will be drilled to compare the results from penetration rate and accuracy to reverse circulation drilling results achieved thus far. The trial will continue into the third quarter.

 

3. Ultra High Strength Backfill (UHSB):

The underground backfill plant is commissioned and allows for a semi-automated process to prepare the UHSB required to fill the holes at TauTona mine production sites. All available reef bored holes in the test site block have been filled. Installation of monitoring instrumentation remains part of the ongoing process at the test site. Testing at surface will recommence during the third quarter to continue development of a pumping solution towards a 1,000m horizontal distance target.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

The South African operations produced 319,000oz at a total cash cost of $863/oz during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the 307,000oz at a total cash cost of $890/oz during the second quarter of 2013. Although year-on-year costs improved predominantly as a result of Project500 initiatives, the improvements were partially offset by seasonal power tariffs, annual wage increases and other increased costs in certain areas that continued to exceed inflation.

At West Wits, production was 144,000oz during the second quarter of 2014 compared to 136,000oz during the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter performance reflected an improvement on the back of seismic related activities, safety stoppages and high heat conditions experienced at Mponeng at the beginning of the quarter. Mponeng reflected a 14% improvement in yield compared to the same quarter last year as a result of reduced stope-widths and an increased overall grade due to lower intake of waste tonnages. TauTona is continuing with energy optimisation project which has yielded positive results.

 

     7    


Production from the Vaal River operations increased in the second quarter of 2014 to 120,000oz despite safety related disruptions, compared with the second quarter of 2013 at 110,000oz. Kopanang was adversely impacted by ingress of water into ore passes caused by a pipe failure leading to a delay in reef processing for the quarter. The average grade recovered at Moab Khotsong increased by 31% year-on-year. This favourable yield was achieved through a reduction in dilution, due to a decrease in stope-width, and higher average reef grade being mined. Despite ongoing inflationary pressure, the focus on cost management resulted in savings. Moab Khotsong was the lowest cost mine for the South African region at a total cash cost of $707/oz. The region is in the process of a segmented integration of Great Noligwa into Moab Khotsong to maximise synergies and reduce overheads.

Total Surface Operations production for the second quarter of 2014 was 55,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,016/oz, compared to 62,000oz for the second quarter of 2013 at a total cash cost of $903/oz. Due to delays of reef delivery from Kopanang, lower grade marginal ore dump was utilised to fill the milling circuit. Grades deteriorated specifically at Mine Waste Solutions where higher grade dams have been depleted and operations shifted to reclamation sites with lower gold recovery rates. The uranium circuit was completed, but has been reconfigured, changing the circuit from reverse to forward leach to improve gold recovery. Commissioning is expected to take place in the third quarter of this year.

Continental Africa Region production during the second quarter of 2014 was 395,000oz at a total cash cost of $846/oz compared to 343,000oz at a total cash cost of $883/oz during the second quarter of 2013. Total production for the region increased mainly due to the contribution from the start of the Kibali mine and as a result of increased production from Siguiri following access to higher grade ore sources. Production during the quarter continued to improve by 6% compared with the previous quarter despite the operating challenges at Kibali and Obuasi. Total cash costs, excluding Kibali, decreased as a result of the marginally higher production together with the realisation of company- wide cost reduction initiatives which have mitigated the effects of inflationary pressures.

In Ghana, Iduapriem production for the second quarter of 2014 was 47,000oz at a total cash cost of $911/oz compared to 51,000oz at a total cash cost of $911/oz during the second quarter of 2013. The reduction in production year-on-year was as a result of a deliberate operating and financial strategy to process the existing lower grade surface ore stockpiles. However, production for the quarter increased 4% compared to the previous quarter as a result of a decrease in recovered grade due to treatment of lower grade ore stockpiles, offset by an increase in tonnage throughput due to higher production shifts in the quarter.

At Obuasi, production for the second quarter of 2014 was 64,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,175/oz compared to 58,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,560/oz for the second quarter of 2013. Although the mine had a decrease in recovered grade, this was fully offset by an increase in tonnage throughput due to an increase in surface tonnes processed together with increased plant availability. The cost initiatives contributed to a reduction in the cash costs as we continue to realise savings. In addition, the development of the decline ramp from surface met the crew developing the ramp from underground. The decline ramp now extends to 17 level from surface. The Amendment to Program of Mining Operations, which details technical, environmental, financial and social details around the transition, was submitted to the Government of Ghana and key regulators for review on 18 July, to be followed by a two-month consultation period. An amended Environment Management Plan has been filed with the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency and a multi-stakeholder working group has been established. AngloGold Ashanti remains firmly committed to engaging with the Government of Ghana, its employees and other important local and regional stakeholders throughout this process, as it seeks to return this key asset to sustainable, long-term profitability for the benefit of all constituencies.

In the Republic of Guinea, Siguiri’s production was 80,000oz at a total cash cost of $777/oz for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 62,000oz at a total cash cost of $850/oz for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in production was a result of a 33% increase in recovered grade as a result of accessing ore from higher grade ore sources.

In Mali, Morila’s production for the second quarter of 2014 was 10,000oz at a total cash cost $1,137/oz compared to 17,000oz at a total cash cost of $728/oz for the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in production year-on-year was as a result of the operation transitioning to closure as it reaches the end of its production life cycle. At Sadiola, production for the quarter was 23,000oz at a total cash cost of $957/oz, compared to 23,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,003/oz for the second quarter of 2013. The current quarter however reflected improved production

 

     8    


of 21% relative to the previous quarter, as a result of an increase in tonnage throughput due to effective plant utilisation together with more production shifts. At Yatela, in line with the transition to closure plan, there was minimal production activity, with total production for the quarter amounting to 2,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,931/oz.

In Namibia, Navachab’s production for the second quarter of 2014 was 17,000oz at a total cash cost of $733/oz. The transaction to sell the mine was concluded in June 2014.

In Tanzania, Geita’s production for the second quarter of 2014 was 110,000oz at a total cash cost of $667/oz, compared to 113,000oz at a total cash cost of $514/oz for the second quarter of 2013. Production for the second quarter of 2014 however, increased 4% as a result of increased tonnage throughput due to higher production shifts completed compared to the previous quarter. Total cash costs increased as a result of higher mining and processing costs incurred during the quarter in line with the operational plans.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kibali’s production for the second quarter of 2014 was 41,000oz at a total cash cost of $717/oz. Current quarter production was 20% lower than the previous quarter mainly due to operational challenges encountered with the commissioning of the sulphide circuit, plant availability on the oxide circuit and poor recovery due to transition ore.

The Americas region in the second quarter of 2014 produced 229,000oz at a total cash cost of $765/oz, compared to 235,000oz at a total cash cost of $733/oz in the second quarter of 2013. Production at CC&V in the second quarter of 2014, was 49,000oz at a total cash cost of $899/oz compared to 60,000 oz at a total cash cost of $726/oz in the second quarter of 2013. This reduction resulted from production delayed due to material placed in areas deep in the Valley Leach Facility during the quarter. The heap leach stacking plan was modified to defer production from the first half to the second half of the year (2014), by starting with placing ore deep and go shallower in the latter part of the year. Stockpiling of mill grade ore continues to ensure mill production can commence when the mill is commissioned.

Production in Brazil suffered from the temporary loss of access to a higher grade area at AngloGold Ashanti Mineração, which plans to recover the lost output later this year once the area becomes available. AngloGold Ashanti Mineraçăo produced 88,000oz at total cash cost of $717/oz in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 76,000oz at a total cash cost of $858/oz in the second quarter of 2013. During 2014, a new ore body started production at Córrego do Sítio (Sulphide II). However, compared to the previous quarter, production was lower from both Lamego and Córrego do Sítio (CdS) Oxide. In addition, production at Cuiabá was 6% lower mainly due to lower feed grades as a consequence of geotechnical issues at the mine, changes in the ore mineral characteristics at CdS Oxide operation affecting its recovery and lower flotation and CIL recoveries at CdS Sulphide operation, partially off-set by higher tonnage.

At Serra Grande, production in the second quarter of 2014 was 30,000oz at total cash of $879/oz compared to 37,000oz at a total cash cost of $675/oz for the second quarter of 2013. The lower production is due to a 17% decline in grades. High grade contribution from the ore body in Mina III is reducing. However, AngloGold Ashanti is engaged in an ongoing exploration programme for higher grade areas, one of which is Ingá, expected to come into production in 2016.

In Argentina, Cerro Vanguardia´s production for the second quarter of 2014 was 62,000oz at a total cash cost of $682/oz, compared with 62,000oz at a total cash cost of $615/oz for the second quarter of 2013. Higher grade was partially offset by lower treated tonnes. Production increased 7% compared to the previous quarter mainly due to higher grade in line with the production plan.

Cash costs increased reflecting higher equipment maintenance costs and greater consumption of materials. Lower deferred stripping (because deferral of waste costs was discontinued for two pits - LMCB9 and ODCB7) also impacted negatively compared to the previous quarter. Rising costs were partially compensated by the positive impact of stockpile movement derived from higher tonnes generated.

In Australasia production for the second quarter of 2014 was 155,000oz at a total cash cost of $850/oz compared to 50,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,829/oz for the second quarter of 2013, with the increase in production mainly attributed to the start of the Tropicana mine during this period.

Production at Sunrise Dam in the second quarter of 2014 was 62,000oz at total cash cost of $1,308/oz, compared to 50,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,713/oz for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in production was due to tonnes mined and head grade from the underground mine, which both increased when compared to the same period last year. Underground ore tonnes mined increased by 11% whilst head grade increased 20% to approximately 2.4g/t. As planned, gold production decreased by 12% from the first quarter of 2014 as ore stockpiles were drawn down, contributing to an increase in costs. A total of 37m of underground capital development and 2,401m of operational development were completed during the quarter. The mine had a 20% increase in ore production from underground. Underground mine grade was at 3.1g/t for the second quarter compared to 2.77g/t in the previous quarter (a 12% increase).

Tropicana’s production for the second quarter of 2014 was 93,000oz at a total cash cost of $498/oz, in line with budget. The processing plant reached nameplate throughout capacity in the March quarter and this rate was maintained in the June quarter.

EXPLORATION

Exploration and evaluation costs during the first half of 2014 was $62m compared $158m during the same period in 2013. Greenfields exploration activities were undertaken in three countries: Australia, Colombia and Guinea, while minor work was also completed in Brazil.

In South Africa, five deep surface drilling sites were in operation during the second quarter, one on the Moab Khotsong Mine and four at Mponeng (WUDLs). Diamond drilling commenced at MZA10 and the hole is currently at 779.5m. This hole is located to the east of the recently complete holes, MMB 6 and 7, and it is targeted to provide value information in the lower reaches of the early gold portion of Project Zaaiplaats.

Drilling of site UD51 was completed. Plugging of the hole and rehabilitation of the site continues. UD59 advanced well during the second quarter and reached a depth of 3,145m in the Allanridge Formation lava’s. Redrill at UD60 has advanced to 1,346m after further in hole problems during the second quarter. The diamond rig has been erected at UD58A and the hole is currently being straightened and is at a depth of 291m.

In Tanzania at the Geita Gold Mine exploration focused on infill drilling programmes at Geita Hill East (4,691m RC&DD) and Geita Hill West (515m RC) and Advance Grade Control drilling commenced at Star & Comet Cut 2 Pit (286m RC). Detailed routine geological pit mapping continued to improve the geological model and enhance the understanding of controls on mineralisation at Geita Hill, Nyankanga and Star & Comet pits. Interpretative geological sections are currently being compiled for all known deposits as part of a programme to develop 3D geological models over Geita Hill, Star & Comet and Matandani-Kukuluma.

In Guinea, at Siguiri Gold Mine, a total of 72 holes were completed with 5,797m drilled during the second quarter. This comprised of 1,462m diamond and 2,738m RC infill drilling from the Kami Pit Fresh Rock project, and 1,597m RC from the Balato North1 reconnaissance target.

Core processing is completed and detailed logging of 18 diamond drillholes were completed during the second quarter, including additional geotechnical DD holes selected to supply additional information to the combination plant expansion project PFS.

In Ghana, at Obuasi, Gold Mine a total of 2,563m of underground drilling was completed from the Above 50 Level 41S-294W site.

In Mali at Sadiola, 6,262m of RC drilling was completed. Drilling took place at FE4S, Tabakoto, TB6, Antarctica, S2, FE2S, and FE4SE oxide targets. Results were generally disappointing, with FE4S, TB6 and S2 showing low oxide potential. Drilling along Tabakoto strike confirmed thick oxide cover and returned isolated and narrow gold intersections in both sulphide and oxide with mineralisation apparently controlled by folding.

In Brazil, exploration work for AGABM continued at the Cuiaba, Lamego and CdS production centers. During the second quarter, 20,170m were drilled collectively in the surface and underground drilling programmes. Geological modelling continued for near mine exploration targets. At Serra Grande, 12,935m of drilling were completed to infill and extend ore bodies near mine infrastructure.

 

     10    


In Colombia, drilling and Mineral Resource modelling to support the Pre-Feasibility Study continued at the Gramalote Joint Venture. This included 2,135m completed for Mineral Resource infill drilling and testing opportunities for Mineral Resource addition. At La Colosa, drilling activities included 6,295m completed for Mineral Resource infill and extension. Site investigation, hydrology and geotechnical drilling programmes continued.

At Sunrise Dam in Australia, exploration was focussed on Mineral Resource definition and extension work, utilising two underground diamond drill rigs (8,960m) and one RC drill rig (5,574m). RC drilling was focussed on Sunrise Shear Zone Panel 4 and Sunrise Shear South, while diamond drilling focussed on Vogue, Midway Shear Zone and Cosmo East. At Tropicana, design, permitting and site preparation for the 3D seismic survey to image the mineralised zone down dip of Tropicana continued. The survey is expected to start in the third quarter of 2014 to help inform targeting of thicker zones of mineralisation below the current open pit designs and extents of existing drilling.

During the second quarter, aircore drilling at the Tumbleweed prospect, 15km north of Tropicana Gold Mine was completed. A limited campaign of RC drilling at the Highball prospect, 2km west of the mine, was also completed.

The group reviews and tests the carrying value of its mining assets (including ore-stock piles) when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For the quarter and six months ended 30 June 2014, no asset impairments or reversal of impairments were recognised.

During the year ended 31 December 2013, impairment, derecognition of assets and write-down of inventories to net realisable value and other stockpile adjustments include the following:

 

   

During June 2013, consideration was given to a range of indicators including a decline in gold price, increase in discount rates and reduction in market capitalisation. As a result, certain cash generating units’ recoverable amounts, including Obuasi and Geita in Continental Africa, Moab Khotsong in South Africa and CC&V and AGA Mineração in the Americas, did not support their carrying values and impairment losses of $3,029m were recognised during 2013.

 

   

The indicators were re-assessed as at 31 December 2013 as part of the annual impairment assessment cycle and the conditions that arose in June 2013 were largely unchanged and no further cash generating unit impairments arose.

 

   

In addition, net impairments of $162m were recognised on the entity’s investments in equity-accounted associates and joint ventures considering quoted share prices, their respective financial positions and anticipated declines in operating results of these entities. Impairments to net realisable value of $178m were raised at 30 June 2013 and impairments of $38m were raised at 31 December 2013 due to stockpile abandonments and other specific adjustments.

In July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti and other shareholders of Rand Refinery (Pty) Limited, an associate of the company, entered into an agreement with Rand Refinery to provide an irrevocable, subordinated loan facility to the maximum value of R1.2 billion (US$113m). The facility allows for amounts to be advanced to Rand Refinery to finance the purchase of gold in the event that Rand Refinery finally determines that a shortfall of 87 000 ounces of gold actually exists when comparing the physical inventory of Rand Refinery to the records of amounts it holds on behalf of third parties.

The facility, if drawn down, will be convertible to equity after a period of 2 years on condition that all shareholders of Rand Refinery agree to the conversion.

Due to the uncertainty around Rand Refinery’s possible gold shortfall position and the time it is taking to resolve the matter, Rand Refinery has been unable to complete its annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2013. As a result, AngloGold Ashanti has adjusted its share of equity profits accounted for as part of its investment in Rand Refinery, and which is based on the unaudited management accounts of Rand Refinery, with an estimate of its share of the probable losses at Rand Refinery of $51m related to the gold shortfall position.

Liquidity and capital resources

To service the above capital commitments and other operational requirements, the group is dependent on existing cash resources, cash generated from operations and borrowing facilities.

Cash generated from operations is subject to operational, market and other risks. Distributions from operations may be subject to foreign investment, exchange control laws and regulations and the quantity of foreign exchange available in offshore countries. In addition, distributions from joint ventures are subject to the relevant board approval.

The credit facilities and other finance arrangements contain financial covenants and other similar undertakings. To the extent that external borrowings are required, the group’s covenant performance indicates that existing financing facilities will be available to meet the above commitments. To the extent that any of the financing facilities mature in the near future, the group believes that sufficient measures are in place to ensure that these facilities can be refinanced.

 

14. Non-current assets and liabilities held for sale

Effective 30 April 2013, Navachab mine located in Namibia was classified as held for sale. Navachab gold mine was previously recognised as a combination of tangible assets, goodwill, current assets, current and long-term liabilities. On 10 February 2014, AngloGold Ashanti announced that it signed a binding agreement to sell Navachab to a wholly-owned subsidiary of QKR Corporation Ltd (QKR). The purchase consideration consists of two components: an initial cash payment and a deferred consideration in the form of a net smelter return (NSR).

On 30 June 2014, AngloGold Ashanti Limited announced that the sale had been completed in accordance with the sales agreement with all conditions precedent being met. A loss on disposal of $2m (note 5) was realised on the sale on Navachab.

Navachab is not a discontinued operation and is not viewed as part of the core assets of the company.

 

15. Financial risk management activities

Borrowings

The $1.25bn bonds and the mandatory convertible bonds settled in September 2013, are carried at fair value. The convertible bonds, settled 99.1% in August 2013 and in full in November 2013, and rated bonds are carried at amortised cost and their fair values are their closing market values at the reporting date. The interest rate on the remaining borrowings is reset on a short-term floating rate basis, and accordingly the carrying amount is considered to approximate fair value.

The fair value of derivatives is estimated based on ruling market prices, volatilities, interest rates and credit risk and includes all derivatives carried in the statement of financial position.

Embedded derivatives and the conversion features of convertible bonds are included as derivatives on the statement of financial position.

The group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:

 

Level 1:

 

quote prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2:

 

inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

Level 3:

 

inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Groundwater pollution - AngloGold Ashanti Limited has identified groundwater contamination plumes at certain of its operations, which have occurred primarily as a result of seepage. Numerous scientific, technical and legal studies have been undertaken to assist in determining the magnitude of the contamination and to find sustainable remediation solutions. The group has instituted processes to reduce future potential seepage and it has been demonstrated that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) by the existing environment will contribute to improvements in some instances. Furthermore, literature reviews, field trials and base line modelling techniques suggest, but have not yet proven, that the use of phyto-technologies can address the soil and groundwater contamination. Subject to the completion of trials and the technology being a proven remediation technique, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.

 

  (2)

Deep groundwater pollution - The group has identified a flooding and future pollution risk posed by deep groundwater in certain underground mines in Africa. Various studies have been undertaken by AngloGold Ashanti Limited since 1999. Due to the interconnected nature of mining operations, any proposed solution needs to be a combined one supported by all the mines located in these gold fields. As a result, in South Africa, the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) requires that the affected mining companies develop a Regional Mine Closure Strategy to be approved by the Department of Mineral Resources. In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a liability, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.

 

  (3)

Withholding taxes - AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited (AGAG) received a tax assessment for the 2006 to 2008 and for the 2009 to 2011 tax years following audits by the tax authorities which related to various withholding taxes amounting to $30m (2013: $28m). Management is of the opinion that the withholding taxes were not properly assessed and the company has lodged an objection.

 

  (4)

Litigation - On 11 October 2011, AGAG terminated its commercial arrangements with Mining and Building Contractors Limited (MBC) relating to certain underground development, construction on bulkheads and diamond drilling services provided by MBC in respect of the Obuasi mine. On 8 November 2012, as a result of this termination, AGAG and MBC concluded a separation agreement that specified the terms on which the parties agreed to sever their commercial relationship. On 23 July 2013, MBC commenced proceedings against AGAG in the High Court of Justice (Commercial Division) in Accra, Ghana, and served a writ of summons that claimed a total of approximately $ 97m in damages. MBC asserts various claims for damages, including, among others, as a result of the breach of contract, non-payment of outstanding historical indebtedness by AGAG and the demobilisation of equipment, spare parts and material acquired by MBC for the benefit of AGAG in connection with operations at the Obuasi mine in Ghana. MBC has also asserted various labour claims on behalf of itself and certain of its former contractors and employees at the Obuasi mine. On 9 October 2013, AGAG filed a motion in court to refer the action or a part thereof to arbitration. This motion was set to be heard on 25 October 2013, however, on 24 October 2013, MBC filed a motion to discontinue the action with liberty to reapply. On 20 February 2014, AGAG was served with a new writ for approximately $97m, as previously claimed. On 2 May 2014, the court dismissed AGAG’s application for stay of proceedings pending arbitration and ordered AGAG to file its statement of defence within 14 days. On 15 May 2014 AGAG filed a Notice of Appeal at the Court of Appeal. AGA further filed a Stay of Proceedings Pending Appeal at the High Court. On 11 May 2014, the High Court granted AGA’s application for Stay of Proceedings pending appeal. AGAG awaits the record of proceedings to be transmitted to the Court of Appeal for the parties to file their written submissions.

Litigation – AGAG received a summons on 2 April 2013 from Abdul Waliyu and 152 others in which the plaintiffs allege that they were or are residents of the Obuasi municipality or its suburbs and that their health has been adversely affected by emission and/or other environmental impacts arising in connection with the current and/or historical operations of the Pompora Treatment Plant (PTP) which was decommissioned in 2000. The claim is to award general damages, special damages for medical treatment and punitive damages, as well as several orders relating to the operation of the PTP. The plaintiffs subsequently amended their writ to include their respective addresses. AGAG filed a defence to the amended writ on 16 July 2013 and are awaiting the plaintiffs to apply for directions. In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a liability, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.

Litigation – five executive members of the PTP (AGA) Smoke Effect Association (PASEA) sued AGAG on 24 February 2014 in their personal capacity and on behalf of the members of PASEA. The plaintiffs claim that they were residents of Tutuka, Sampsonkrom, Anyimadukrom, Kortkortesua, Abomperkrom, and PTP Residential Quarters, all suburbs of Obuasi, in close proximity to the now decommissioned Pompara Treatment Plant (PTP). The plaintiffs claim they have been adversely affected by the operations of the PTP. In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a liability, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.

Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act (ODMWA) litigation – On 3 March 2011, in Mankayi vs. AngloGold Ashanti, the Constitutional Court of South Africa held that section 35(1) of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, 1993 does not cover an “employee” who qualifies for compensation in respect of “compensable diseases” under the Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act, 1973 (ODMWA). This judgement allows such qualifying employee to pursue a civil claim for damages against the employer. Following the Constitutional Court decision, AngloGold Ashanti has become subject to numerous claims relating to silicosis and other Occupational Lung Diseases (OLD), including several potential class actions and individual claims.

For example, on or about 21 August 2012, AngloGold Ashanti was served with an application instituted by Bangumzi Bennet Balakazi (“the Balakazi Action”) and others in which the applicants seek an order declaring that all mine workers (former or current) who previously worked or continue to work in specified South African gold mines for the period owned by AngloGold Ashanti and who have silicosis or other OLD constitute members of a class for the purpose of proceedings for declaratory relief and claims for damages. In the event the class is certified, such class of workers would be permitted to institute actions by way of a summons against AngloGold Ashanti for amounts as yet unspecified. On 4 September 2012, AngloGold Ashanti delivered its notice of intention to defend this application. AngloGold Ashanti also delivered a formal request for additional information that it requires to prepare its affidavits in respect to the allegations and the request for certification of a class.

In addition, on or about 8 January 2013, AngloGold Ashanti and its subsidiary Free State Consolidated Gold Mines (Operations) Limited, alongside other mining companies operating in South Africa, were served with another application to certify a class (“the Nkala Action”). The applicants in the case seek to have the court certify two classes namely: (i) current and former mineworkers who have silicosis (whether or not accompanied by any other disease) and who work or have worked on certain specified gold mines at any time from 1 January 1965 to date; and (ii) the dependants of mineworkers who died as a result of silicosis (whether or not accompanied by any other disease) and who worked on these gold mines at any time after 1 January 1965. AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice of intention to oppose the application.

On 21 August 2013, an application was served on AngloGold Ashanti for the consolidation of the Balakazi Action and the Nkala Action, as well as a request for an amendment to change the scope of the classes the court was requested to certify in the previous applications that were initiated. The applicants now request certification of two classes (the “silicosis class” and the “tuberculosis class”). The silicosis class would consist of certain current and former mineworkers who have contracted silicosis, and the dependants of certain deceased mineworkers who have died of silicosis (whether or not accompanied by any other disease). The tuberculosis class would consist of certain current and former mineworkers who have or had contracted pulmonary tuberculosis and the dependants of certain deceased mineworkers who died of pulmonary tuberculosis (but excluding silico-tuberculosis). On 30 May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti submitted its answering affidavit.

In October 2012, AngloGold Ashanti received a further 31 individual summonses and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or other OLD. The total amount claimed in the 31 summonses is approximately $7 million. On 22 October 2012, AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice of intention to oppose these claims and took legal exception to the summonses on the ground that certain particulars of claim were unclear. On 4 April 2014, the High Court of South Africa dismissed these exceptions and on 25 April 2014, AngloGold Ashanti filed its pleas in this matter. The company will continue to defend these cases on their merits.

On or about 3 March 2014, AngloGold Ashanti received an additional 21 individual summonses and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or other OLD. The total amount claimed in the 21 summonses is approximately $4.5 million. AngloGold Ashanti has filed a notice of intention to oppose these claims. On 2 May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice taking legal exception to the summonses on the ground that certain particulars of claim were unclear. The court date has not yet been set to hear the exceptions.

On or about 24 March 2014, AngloGold Ashanti received a further 686 individual summonses and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or other OLD. The total amount claimed in the 686 summonses is approximately $109 million. AngloGold Ashanti has filed a notice of intention to oppose these claims. On 15 May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice taking legal exception to the summonses on the ground that certain particulars of claim were unclear. The court date has not yet been set to hear the exceptions.

On or about 1 April 2014, AngloGold Ashanti received a further 518 individual summonses and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or other OLD. The total amount claimed in the 518 summonses is approximately $90 million. AngloGold Ashanti has filed a notice of intention to oppose these claims. On 15 May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice taking legal exception to the summonses on the ground that certain particulars of claim were unclear. The court date has not yet been set to hear the exceptions.

It is possible that additional class actions and/or individual claims relating to silicosis and/or other OLD will be filed against AngloGold Ashanti in the future. AngloGold Ashanti will defend all current and subsequently filed claims on their merits. Should AngloGold Ashanti be unsuccessful in defending any such claims, or in otherwise favourably resolving perceived deficiencies in the national occupational disease compensation framework that were identified in the earlier decision by the Constitutional Court, such matters would have an adverse effect on its financial position, which could be material. The company is unable to reasonably estimate its share of the amounts claimed.

Other tax disputes - In November 2007, the Departamento Nacional de Produçăo Mineral (DNPM), a Brazilian federal mining authority, issued a tax assessment against AngloGold Ashanti Brazil Mineraçăo Ltda (AABM) in the amount of $21m (2013: $19m) relating to the calculation and payment by AABM of the financial contribution on mining exploitation (CFEM) in the period from 1991 to 2006. AngloGold Ashanti Limited’s subsidiaries in Brazil are

 

     25    


 

involved in various other disputes with tax authorities. These disputes involve federal tax assessments including income tax, royalties, social contributions and annual property tax. The amount involved is approximately $ 19m (2013: $19m). Management is of the opinion that these taxes are not payable.

 

  (9) VAT disputes – MSG received a tax assessment in October 2003 from the State of Minas Gerais related to VAT on gold bullion transfers. The tax administrators rejected the company’s appeal against the assessment. The company is now appealing the dismissal of the case. The assessment is approximately $17m (2013: $16m).

 

  (10)

Tax dispute – AngloGold Ashanti Colombia S.A. (AGAC) received notice from the Colombian Tax Office (DIAN) that it disagreed with the company’s tax treatment of certain items in the 2011 and 2010 income tax returns. On 23 October 2013 AGAC received the official assessments from the DIAN which established that an estimated additional tax of $35m (2013: $35m) will be payable if the tax returns are amended. Penalties and interest for the additional taxes are expected to be $164m (2013: $153m), based on Colombian tax law. The company believes that it has applied the tax legislation correctly. AGAC requested in December 2013 that DIAN reconsider its decision and the company has been officially notified that DIAN will review its earlier ruling. This review is anticipated to take twelve months, at the end of which AGAC may file suit if the ruling is not reversed.

 

  (11)

Tax dispute - On 12 July 2013, Cerro Vanguardia S.A. received a notification from the Argentina Tax Authority requesting corrections to the 2007, 2008 and 2009 income tax returns of about $15m (2013: $18m) relating to the non-deduction of tax losses previously claimed on hedge contracts. Penalties and interest on the disputed amounts are estimated at a further $38m (2013: $45m). A new notification was received on 16 July 2014 from the tax authorities that disallowed arguments from CVSA’s initial response. CVSA will file another response and has until the middle of August 2014 to do so. Management is of the opinion that the taxes are not payable.

Sales tax on gold deliveries – In 2006, Mineraçăo Serra Grande S.A. (MSG), received two tax assessments from the State of Goiás related to the payments of state sales taxes at the rate of 12% on gold deliveries for export from one Brazilian state to another during the period from February 2004 to the end of May 2006. The first and second assessments were approximately $62m and $39m as at 31 December 2013, respectively. Various legal proceedings have taken place over the years with respect to this matter, as previously disclosed. On 5 May 2014, the State of Goiás published a law which enables companies to settle outstanding tax assessments of this nature. Under this law, MSG settled the two assessments in May 2014 by paying $14m in cash and by utilising $29m of existing VAT credits. The utilisation of the VAT credits is subject to legal confirmation from the State of Goiás within 180 days from the settlement agreement date. Management has concluded that the likelihood of the State of Goiás declining the utilisation of the VAT credits or part thereof is remote. The cash settlement is further set off by an indemnity from Kinross of $6m.

 

  (13)

Indemnity - As part of the acquisition by AngloGold Ashanti Limited of the remaining 50% interest in MSG during June 2012, Kinross Gold Corporation (Kinross) has provided an indemnity to a maximum amount of BRL255m against the specific exposures discussed in item 9 above. At 30 June 2014, the company has estimated that the maximum contingent asset is $11m (2013: $60m).

 

  (14)

Royalty - As a result of the sale of the interest in the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine during 2010, the group is entitled to receive a royalty on the production of a total of 1.5Moz by the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine and in the event that the average monthly rand price of gold exceeds R180,000/kg (subject to an inflation adjustment). Where the average monthly rand price of gold does not exceed R180,000/kg (subject to an inflation adjustment), the ounces produced in that quarter do not count towards the total 1.5Moz upon which the royalty is payable. The royalty is determined at 3% of the net revenue (being gross revenue less state royalties) generated by the Tau Lekoa assets. Royalties on 455,765oz (2013: 413,246oz) produced have been received to date.

 

  (15)

Royalty – As a result of the sale of Navachab, AngloGold Ashanti will receive a net smelter return paid quarterly for seven years from 1 July 2016, determined at 2% of ounces sold during the relevant quarter subject to a minimum average gold price of $1,350 and capped at a maximum of 18,750 ounces sold per quarter.

 

  (16)

Provision of surety - The company has provided surety in favour of a lender on a gold loan facility with its associate Oro Group (Pty) Limited and one of its subsidiaries to a maximum value of $9m (2013: $10m). The probability of the non- performance under the suretyships is considered minimal. The suretyship agreements have a termination notice period of 90 days.

 

17. Concentration of tax risk

There is a concentration of tax risk in respect of recoverable value added tax, fuel duties and appeal deposits from the Tanzanian government.

The recoverable value added tax, fuel duties and appeal deposits are summarised as follows:

This follows challenges encountered in the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system at the refinery. AngloGold Ashanti recorded a provision of $51m during the second quarter.

In addition, AngloGold Ashanti noted that costs incurred in the previously announced closure of the Yatela mine in Mali, and ongoing restructuring at its Obuasi mine in Ghana, impacted earnings for the second quarter.

Update on South Africa Earthquake: On 6 August 2014, AngloGold Ashanti confirmed that each one of the 3,300 people working underground at its Great Noligwa and Moab Khotsong mines early in the morning on 5 August 2014, when a 5.3 magnitude earthquake struck South Africa’s North West province, were safely hoisted to surface. Twenty-eight employees who sustained minor injuries as a result of the event received medical treatment.

 

20. Subsequent events

On 17th July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc cancelled its 2012 US$1bn Revolving Credit Facility and signed a new 5 year US$1bn Revolving Credit Facility. The facility is currently undrawn.

On 25 July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited signed a new 5 year A$500m Revolving Credit Facility which replaces the existing A$600m Revolving Credit Facility, which was due to mature in December 2015.

Non-GAAP disclosure

From time to time AngloGold Ashanti Limited may publicly disclose certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures in the course of its financial presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls and otherwise.

The financial items “price received”, “price received per ounce”, “total cash costs”, “total cash costs per ounce”, “total production costs”, “total production costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “all-in costs” and “all-in-costs per ounce” which have been determined using industry guidelines and practices and these are not measures under IFRS. An investor should not consider these items in isolation or as alternatives to production costs, profit/(loss) applicable to equity shareholders, profit/(loss) before taxation, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS.

The Gold Institute provided definitions for the calculation of total cash costs and total production costs and during June 2013 the World Gold Council published a Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs”. The calculation of total cash costs, total cash costs per ounce, total production costs, total production costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs and all-in sustaining 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, we believe that total cash costs, total production costs, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs in total by mine and per ounce by mine are useful indicators to investors and management of a mine’s performance because they provide:

Ÿ an indication of a mine’s profitability, efficiency and cash flows;

Ÿ the trend in costs as the mine matures over time on a consistent basis; and

Ÿ an internal benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other mines, both within the AngloGold Ashanti group and of other

Price received gives an indication of revenue earned per unit of gold sold and includes gold income and realised non–hedge derivatives in its calculation and serves as a benchmark of performance against the spot price of gold.

The group uses certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing the business and may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported operating results or any other measure of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures that other companies use.
