Financial and Operating Report
OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS
CEO STATEMENT
“I am exceptionally pleased to report a solid operational quarter against our guidance, with gold production of 935,000oz up 4%
on the first quarter, at a total cash cost of $898/oz,” said Chief Executive Officer Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan. “While we
recorded an adjusted headline loss over the period, this was due largely to the write-down of ore stockpiles due to the sharply
lower gold price, which has declined by some 25% this year. We have adopted a decisive, two-pronged response to this weaker
price environment focused on revenue enhancement and improving efficiencies by addressing costs at a number of levels.
“Importantly, while we remain positive on the prospects for the gold price in the long term, we’ve taken the decision to prepare
our business for a volatile gold-price environment where we believe there may be downside risk in the medium term. Graham
Ehm, Executive Vice President Group Technical and Planning, is now using a more prudent gold price of $1,100/oz as the
planning assumption, with various scenarios above and below that benchmark. This will give us flexibility in a weak market
while providing us the opportunity to benefit from widening margins if the price surprises on the upside. While this more
conservative approach to planning may have an impact on output levels, we remain steadfastly committed to prioritising cash
flow and returns over production levels. Similarly, we continue to carefully review our portfolio to identify assets that no longer
meet our investment criteria and may be sold or closed, and for others that may be amenable to partnerships.
“Our revenue enhancement efforts are focused on stripping out unprofitable production and bringing our Tropicana and Kibali
projects to production in the coming months. These two important new mines are expected to contribute approximately
550,000oz to 600,000oz of new annual production next year at below our current average cost, improving the group’s cash cost
profile.
“Our cost efficiency programme has already yielded results. In looking at improving the overall efficiency of our business, we’re
addressing expenditure on several fronts: corporate costs, exploration spending, project and sustaining capital, and direct
operating costs. At each step in this cost rationalisation process we’ve taken care to ensure we retain core skills and keep our
key long term options intact, at a reasonable cost.
“We have completed an extensive organisation redesign that started at the beginning of this year, which aimed to remove
duplication and waste, and to create a cleaner leadership structure with more direct accountabilities. We’re now implementing
the recommendations of that review, which called for us to remove about 40% of all non-mining roles from our global corporate
structure. In addition, we are attacking all areas of indirect spend outside of payroll, in order to bank savings going into next
year. We’re now targeting corporate costs of $120m to $140m next year, around half the $240m initially forecast for 2013, and
an even greater saving from the $291m spent last year.
“There will also be a narrowing of the focus for our exploration programme, which includes a global drilling programme as well
as investment in our Technology Innovation Consortium in South Africa. We will withdraw from more than a dozen countries and
will focus on our three most prospective regions – Tropicana, Colombia and the Siguiri region in Guinea – while also continuing
to aggressively advance the underground technology push in South Africa. Expensed exploration and evaluation in 2013 is now
anticipated to be $327m, from the $377m initially forecast, a saving of approximately $50m for this year. In 2014, we’re now
targeting expensed exploration and evaluation spend at between $150m to $175m.
That takes the targeted annual savings from these exploration and corporate cost initiatives together to as much as
$437m to $482m next year, as compared to 2012 levels, or more than $100/oz.
“In addition to addressing these overhead costs, we’re phasing some of our expenditure on projects in South Africa and have
reduced this year’s total capital budget by about $150m, to $1.95bn (which includes about $1bn of project capital). As we move
into next year we will aim to realise further reductions in sustaining capital by seeking out efficiencies in our planning process,
while looking to capture savings in a more benign operating cost environment. We also anticipate a drop in our project capital as
a natural consequence of the completion of our Tropicana project and the commissioning of the open-pit mine at the Kibali joint
venture.
“This improvement will be complemented by our Project 500 initiative, which aims to realise cost savings of some $500m from
across our portfolio by the end of next year. The Project 500 team, overseen by Ron Largent, chief operating officer of our
Americas and Continental African portfolio, has already visited four pilot sites – Siguiri, Geita, Cuiaba and Moab Khotsong – and
identified a range of significant opportunities that will contribute toward realising this goal.
“In keeping with our prudent approach to balance sheet management and proactively reducing risk, particularly in the prevailing
uncertain market conditions, we took advantage of a slightly firmer market in July to raise $1.25bn though a the sale of seven-
year bonds. The proceeds will be used to refinance our $732.5m convertible bond which matures in May of next year and the
surplus will provide the comfort of additional liquidity. The debt issue removes refinancing risk and improves our debt maturity
profile, while only modestly raising annual interest costs, given that we have a 6% mandatory convertible bond that matures in
September and a tender offer to redeem the 3.5% convertible notes that would otherwise mature in May.
“While this work to refocus the business continues at a strong pace and in a challenging environment, our first priority remains
to operate safely as we work to deliver value to our stakeholders. We have made great strides in recent years to improve the
culture of safety in our business, with our Continental Africa business recording the commendable achievement of logging not a
single lost time injury in June. All of our four regions, Americas, Australia, Continental Africa, South Africa (save for West Wits)
and our exploration sites, were also free of fatalities in the first half of this year. While these achievements are our most
important, we recognise that there remains much room for improvement and we will continue to look for innovative ways to
reach our ultimate goal of zero harm in the workplace.”

FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW
Adjusted headline earnings (AHE) was a loss of $135m and 35 US cents per share in the three months to 30 June 2013,
compared with $113m or 29 US cents per share the previous quarter, and $270m or 70 US cents per share a year earlier, in the
second quarter of 2012. This figure includes a $144m loss associated with stockpile inventory write-downs, indirect tax
provisions and corporate restructuring.
Net loss attributable to equity shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $2,165m, compared to a profit of $239m in the
previous quarter, negatively impacted by a post-tax impairment of tangible and intangible assets and investments and inventory
write-downs aggregating $2.4bn. The impairment largely consisted of a write-down of assets in Continental Africa and the
Americas and arose primarily from using lower gold price assumptions and higher discount rates.
Operational performance for the second quarter was solid with production within market guidance provided at first quarter of
2013 results, and costs marginally better. Production was 935,000oz at an average total cash cost of $898/oz, compared to
899,000oz at $894/oz the previous quarter and benefitted from a strong ramp up at Geita following a mill replacement in the first
quarter of 2013. Total cash costs were slightly better than initial market guidance of $900-950/oz.
Cash flow from operating activities declined from $356m the previous quarter to $140m, reflecting the 13% decline in average
realised gold price in the quarter. Total capital expenditure during the second quarter was $556m (including equity accounted
joint ventures), compared with $512m the previous quarter and $495m in the second quarter of last year. Of the total capital
spent, project capital expenditure during the quarter amounted to $285m. As a result of relatively high project capital levels
associated with the advanced Tropicana and Kibali projects, and a weaker gold price in the second quarter of 2013, free cash
flow was negative at $497m.
At the end of the second quarter of 2013, net debt was $2.78bn, and the twelve month EBITDA to 30 June 2013 was $1.79bn,
resulting in a Net Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.56 times. This is despite taking on the impact of the South African strike last year
and, more recently, a decline in the gold price. The principal factors that accounted for the increase in net debt level during the
quarter were:
• Capital expenditures on projects of $285m, the majority of which was spent on key projects at Tropicana and Kibali, and
• the expansion of CC&V, which is scheduled to contribute additional production from 2015;
Sustaining capital expenditures, including ore-reserve development expenditure, of $271m.
On 30 July 2013, AngloGold Ashanti issued a seven-year bond due 2020 for an aggregate principal amount of $1.25bn and an
annual interest rate of 8.5%.
The bond issue attracted significant interest from fixed income investors and provided the funds for AngloGold Ashanti to launch
a tender offer for the repurchase of its $732.5m, 3.5% Guaranteed Convertible Bonds due May 2014. We believe that these
transactions will significantly improve the company’s debt profile, introducing longer-term debt maturity to the balance sheet and
providing additional liquidity in what remains a volatile market and operating environment for global gold producers. Given that
the $789m, 6% mandatory convertible bond will be redeemed for shares in September, and the tender offer is currently open to
redeem the $732.5m, 3.5% convertible bond, the additional incremental annual interest payments to be incurred by the new
bond issue is modest at around $30m.
UPDATE ON CAPITAL PROJECTS
Tropicana is ahead of schedule. The company remains committed to ensuring that its two new gold projects – Tropicana and
Kibali – commence commercial production before the end of this year. The Tropicana gold project (AngloGold Ashanti 70% and
Independence Group NL 30%) is progressing well, and is ahead of schedule to commission in the third quarter of 2013 and
ramp up during the fourth quarter of 2013. The estimated capital expenditure remains unchanged at between A$820-A$845m
on a 100% basis. As mentioned by joint venture partner and operator Randgold Resources, on 23 July 2013, Kibali may
produce gold as early as October of this year. Together, these projects are expected to add attributable production of
approximately 550,000oz to 600,000oz in 2014 at a combined average total cash cost of less than our current average total
cash costs.
By the end of June, structural steel, plate work installation, mechanical installation and tailings storage facility construction were
complete at Tropicana. The powerhouse was commissioned during the second quarter of 2013 along with the dry plant. First
ore was sent to the crushing plant on 26 July. Site activities are now focused on completion of plant sub-systems and the
crushing and screening areas to enable pre-commissioning and commissioning to begin, with the commissioning team
mobilised on site for a little over two months.
The full operating team is now in place and has been mobilised to the site. The mining department celebrated the first year of
operation in July, and mobilisation of the third mining fleet is in progress.
Cash operating cost estimates for the project remain within the previously announced range of A$590/oz to A$630/oz. Average
annual production estimates during the first three years also remains in line with previous guidance at between 470,000-
490,000oz on a 100% basis.
The Kibali project, a joint venture between state-owned Sokimo (10%), AngloGold Ashanti (45%) and operator Randgold
Resources (45%), remains on track for production by the end of the year. By the end of June 2013, AngloGold Ashanti spent
$447m towards Kibali’s development. Significant progress continues to be made towards commissioning. The Process Plant is
making progress in preparation of producing first gold in the final quarter of 2013. Completion of the Sulphide circuit is expected
in early 2014, which is in-line with the mining schedule. A revised schedule for Kibali has production from underground
commencing later mitigated by bringing forward additional open pit ore.

The CC&V Mine Life Extension 2 (MLE2) project, an expansion of our CC&V mine in Colorado, continues to progress well. To
date, we have spent $118m. The design work on the HG Mill is complete and the facility is on track for completion in the second
half of 2014. Construction work for the re-routing of Highway 67 is underway. Construction of the water pumping facility
necessary to deliver the required water for the mill is now complete, along with temporary construction warehouses and offices
required for the project are all complete and in use. The budget and schedule continue to be well within the plans.
UPDATE ON COST OPTIMISATION AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW
Cost optimisation and portfolio review:
In order to optimise cash flow from the business, AngloGold Ashanti is working to reduce all costs (direct operating costs,
corporate and exploration costs, and capital expenditure), while enhancing revenue by removing unprofitable production from
the portfolio and improving the overall quality of its asset base by completing development of its two new projects (Tropicana
and Kibali) in the coming months.
On direct operating costs, the previously announced Project 500 initiative is currently underway to remove approximately $500m
of operating costs within an 18 month period. This approach has been piloted at four global sites (Siguiri – Guinea, Geita –
Tanzania, Moab Khotsong – South Africa and Cuiabá – Brazil), which were selected on the basis of being among the largest
long-term producers in the company. Project 500 was well received by the site management teams and potential savings of
approximately $235m have been identified. Detailed planning to realise those opportunities and ensure they are integrated into
budgets, is currently underway.
Progress has also been made in reducing corporate overhead costs by rationalising corporate structures, reducing the use of
consultants and eliminating duplication, redundant management and administrative functions. The operating support structure
has been further simplified with operations now falling under the two Chief Operating Officers and the reduction in the size of the
executive committee. The process of effecting redundancies has commenced in AngloGold Ashanti’s global corporate and
exploration structures and we expect that during the last quarter of this year, after taking into account the notice periods that
need to be provided to affected employees, approximately 35-40% of these roles will have been removed. Indirect spend, such
as travel, communication and IT costs are being rationalised with a view to further sustainable cost savings. In 2014, corporate
costs are anticipated to fall from the $240m forecast for this year, to between $120m and $140m. ERP project has also been
suspended for Continental Africa region ($113m saving over 3 years).
In light of the lower and more volatile gold price, capital expenditure is also being rationalised with a view of focusing
expenditure on higher quality assets and curtailing expenditure or suspending operations on other projects. For example,
AngloGold Ashanti announced in November 2012 that capital expenditure significantly slowed at Sadiola in Mali. In addition,
Project Zaaiplaats at the Moab Khotsong mine in South Africa has been postponed while alternative development options for
the project are being evaluated. The deepening project at Mponeng in the West Wits region of South Africa has also been
slowed to optimise expenditure. Capital expenditure for 2013 is now expected to $1.95bn-$2bn, compared to previous guidance
of $2.1bn, reflecting a savings of $100m-$150m. Given that both Kibali and Tropicana will go into production later this year, we
expect that the level of project capital expenditure in 2014 will be lower than the current year, whilst the Group will also see the
added benefit of free cash flow from these two new projects.
AngloGold Ashanti’s industry-leading exploration programme has already been significantly refocused to further optimise
expenditure, with key areas of emphasis now in Colombia, Australia and Guinea, as well as continuing the investment in the
Technology Innovation Consortium, which is developing a production system to help improve underground mining in South
Africa. In effecting this more concentrated exploration strategy, AngloGold Ashanti is withdrawing from 13 countries.
Management has already reduced this year’s residual exploration and evaluation budget by around $50m and will make
significantly greater savings next year. Total spending on expensed exploration (greenfield, brownfield, Colombia, SA
Technology and evaluation studies) for this year is now expected to total about $327m, compared to the previous guidance of
$377m. This number is expected to reduce further in 2014 to $150m - $175m, $30m of which will be allocated to the SA
Technology Project.
Although the steps which are outlined above are expected to improve the company’s cost base and focus capital expenditure,
there will likely be a time lag before some of these measures take effect. It is expected that these measures will result in an
improvement in performance which will be reflected in results for the full year 2014. In the interim, however, aggressive moves
to reduce discretionary spending and immediate changes to expenditures for the remainder of the year are expected to support
the business in the event of any unforeseen operational disruptions and/or a further sharp fall in the gold price.
WAGE NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE
AngloGold Ashanti continues to engage with its employees, through their organised labour representatives, as part of the gold
industry’s collective bargaining process overseen by the Chamber of Mines. The South African gold industry finds itself in a
challenging operating environment, given sharply lower gold prices, lower productivity levels and rising costs and has shed a
significant number of jobs over the past decade as these pressures have mounted. Against this backdrop, it is difficult to
contemplate wage increases of any kind in the current round of wage talks. Notwithstanding, the gold producers participating in
the central bargaining forum have offered a 5% adjustment to salaries as a sign of good faith in the current wage negotiations.
While these discussions with organised labour did not initially yield a positive outcome and have entered a process of third-party
mediation, through an established legal framework, AngloGold Ashanti remains committed to finding a solution to benefit all
parties and not further jeopardise the long-term viability of South Africa’s gold industry.
TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION UPDATE
During the second quarter of 2013, the Technology Innovation Consortium progressed significantly in prototype development
pertaining to the three key technologies that aim to establish the base for a safe, more efficient mining method intended for use
at AngloGold Ashanti’s deep-level underground mining operations. It is anticipated that this new improved mining method, if
successful, will significantly enhance productivity levels of AngloGold Ashanti’s South African mining operations:
Quarterly Report June 2013 - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com

Orebody Knowledge & Exploration (RC Drilling): A new diamond-enhanced drill bit has been tested, which has resulted in
reduced mechanical issues. Further tests have indicated that as the hole deepened, drilling efficiency decreased and declining
penetration rates were experienced. New drill rods, designed to ensure increased air flow within the tubes, and thus faster
penetration rates at depth, have now been procured and testing of the new rods will commence at the beginning of the third
quarter.
Reef Boring (Stoping): The focus in the second quarter was to further enhance drilling effectiveness by applying improved
reamer geometries. A newly-designed cutter head (reamer) of 660mm in diameter was manufactured and delivered during the
second quarter of 2013. The first 660mm double-pass hole was drilled successfully with increased drilling efficiency: this test hole
was completed within 3.9 days compared to the previous rate of 4.4 days using the double-pass method. The final test for the
new reamer will be to complete a single pass hole in the shortest possible timeframe and further improve on previous rates of 3.2
days for a 30m hole. Negotiations and processes have commenced for the design and manufacture of the first production
machines, with the intention to start manufacturing mid-range machines (40-80cm channel width reefs) as well as small diameter
machines (<40cm channel width reefs) during the third quarter. The machines are intended for deployment to the production
environment towards the end of the first quarter in 2014.
Ultra High Strength Backfill (UHSB): During the second quarter, an additional five holes were filled at the reef boring test site at
TauTona Mine. Three of the holes were fitted with instruments to monitor the performance of the UHSB, as well as the ground
conditions of holes being drilled in close proximity. Encouraging advancements in the mixing process have been achieved,
leading to reduced times and increased flexibility in the application of the product. Development of the prototype mixer will
continue in the third quarter as the Consortium seeks to transform the current system, suitable for niche small volume
applications, to a bulk application.
DIVIDEND
The Board has elected to pass on the quarterly dividend given the current market conditions and will review this decision again at
year-end. The company will also revert to a bi-annual dividend schedule.
SAFETY
The business experienced two fatalities during the quarter, both in the South Africa Region; at Mponeng and TauTona mines. The
TauTona and Mponeng fatalities were caused by a fall of ground and a tramming related incident, respectively. Year-on-year and
quarterly Fatal Injury Frequency Rate performance improved 40% and 43%, respectively. The All Injury Frequency Rate for the
quarter was at 7.61 per million hours worked, an improvement of 4% quarter-on-quarter and 7% year-on-year.
Safety continues to remain the critical focus area in South Africa through the use of regular safety meetings and the Chencha
Nqondo (where focus is placed on changing people’s mind-set regarding rules, regulations and people’s behaviour) campaign at
TauTona. Measures to mitigate the risk of trucks and tramming incidents at Mponeng are currently being implemented. A new
safety theme “Safe Gold Our Future” was launched at Mponeng to address the poor safety performance. The implementation of
this safety-related initiative will lead to a more conducive working environment that will aid the production performance.
Elsewhere in the business, there has been excellent progress on safety. The Vaal River region in South Africa, as well as
Continental Africa, Australia, Americas, Exploration – had no fatalities in the first half of the year. In addition, Continental Africa,
which comprises eight mines across five countries, recorded not a single lost time injury during June. This is a significant
achievement which shows what progress is possible as we continue to make continuous improvements to our systems and
procedures and overall safety culture.
OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
The South African operations produced 307,000oz at a total unit cash cost of $890/oz in the three months to 30 June 2013,
compared with 362,000oz at a total cash cost of $779/oz in the same quarter last year. In the West Wits operations, TauTona
faced increased costs related to improved safety measures to curtail fall of ground incidents, these include additional steel support
in certain areas. At Mponeng, the aftermath of the lightning strike at a major Eskom regional substation towards the end of the first
quarter of 2013 further impacted production in the second quarter of 2013 as repairs and maintenance to the damaged
infrastructure were performed. Safety-related disruptions, which resulted in lost production of approximately 24,000oz coupled
with deteriorating grades, continued to hinder production levels across the region.
At the Vaal River operations, an illegal strike embarked on by employees at the Moab Khotsong mine and the subsequent
ramifications had an adverse impact on production. Five hundred and thirty nine employees who participated in the illegal strike
were dismissed subsequent to disciplinary processes. Of those dismissed, one hundred and eighty seven were machine
operators and this required stoping teams to be reconfigured to make provision for the lost skill set.
Acquisition of Mine Waste Solutions has proved beneficial to the region as planned, as tonnage ramp-up using the Business
Process Framework has helped ensure that significantly higher tonnages are now being treated than in the past. Improvements to
recoveries are evident as our team manages the process carefully, through the recently established Remote Operations Center.
Grades continue to improve as Vaal River tailings now supplement the acquired tailings. Completion of the uranium circuit is
expected to allow uranium production to commence in the fourth quarter, and is also expected to improve gold recovery rates.
In Tanzania, Geita’s production was 113,000oz in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 66,000oz in the previous quarter. This
was an increase of 71% as a result of a 90% increase in tonnage throughput following the extended planned downtime in the
previous quarter for the replacement of the SAG Mill, partly offset by a planned 10% decrease in recovered grade for the current
quarter. Total cash costs increased by 22% to $514/oz compared to the same period last year. The quarter-on-quarter
comparison reflects a 32% increase in total cash costs which is due to the fact that stockpiles were processed during the first
quarter. In addition, AngloGold Ashanti is in dialogue with Tanzanian authorities and various other groups to find a sustainable
solution to a recent increase in illegal mining activity in and around its Geita operation. This activity not only poses a threat to the
safety of AngloGold Ashanti’s staff, police officials and these illegal miners, but also creates environmental damage and may
affect production if left unchecked.

In Ghana, production at Obuasi increased 18% quarter-on-quarter due to a 10% increase in tonnes treated and a 6% increase
in recovered grade largely as a result of the transition to owner mining. Total cash costs decreased by 10% to $1,560/oz from
$1,742/oz the previous quarter. We believe that significant potential exists in the Obuasi orebody and our strategy revolves
around the transformation of the underground mine as the key driver. In detail, this plan entails:
Mining of the Obuasi Deeps Decline to gain appropriate mechanised access to each mining block (except those with only
2-3 years of life remaining) and then ultimately down to the ‘Deeps’;
As each new mining area and each existing mining block is reached, it is taken ‘off line’ in order to allow work to be
undertaken that will allow it to be re-established as a highly mechanised and more productive block;
Investment in Pastefill, primary ventilation and underground infrastructure;
Mining of surface sources (pits and tailings) to generate further revenue;
Development of appropriate surface infrastructure based around the south mine, including security fencing, new Tailings
Storage Facility and a comprehensive water management system;
Significant reduction of overhead costs;
Significant organisational redesign built around a highly mechanised and productive operation; and
Continuing to address legacy issues associated with the mining operation.
In the medium term, Obuasi needs to self-sustain itself in order to be viable. In the short-term, the intention is to ensure the
operation has the appropriate cost structure to sustain itself. The transition to mechanisation will regrettably result in a phased
process of retrenchments over the next two years. The Board will assess the progress at Obuasi on a quarterly basis to ensure
that the mine is on track to meet its critical milestones.
In Guinea, Siguiri’s production (85% attributable) was unchanged from the previous quarter at 62,000oz as a result of a 5%
increase in tonnage throughput offset by a 6% decrease in recovered grade due to planned treatment of lower grade ore from
different ore sources. Siguiri has consistently exceeded its gold production target for the last six quarters, with throughput
sustained at record levels achieved in the previous year. Total cash costs were $850/oz, 15% lower than the previous quarter
mainly due to the reduced cost of electricity provided to the local community and lower royalty payments due to the lower
received price. The implementation of Project 500 is proceeding well with significant and sustainable cost saving opportunities
identified.
At Sunrise Dam, in Australia, the total cash costs at $1,713/oz was inclusive of additional costs of $350/oz attributable to
recommencing mining of high grade ore in the base of the existing open pit, also referred to as the “Crown Pillar” which we
expect will provide high grade mill feed for the remainder of the year. Mining in the Crown Pillar was delayed to ensure the wall
above the working area was sufficiently stabilised.
At Cerro Vanguardia, in Argentina, production (92.5% attributable) at 62,000oz was 13% higher than last quarter mainly due to
higher treated tonnes. Silver production (92.5% attributable) at 735,000oz represents a 2% increase when compared to the
previous quarter. Import restrictions continue to be a challenge within the country, particularly relating to the lead time in
obtaining spare parts, however, this did not have a significant impact on output during the quarter. Rising costs were partially
offset by a more favourable exchange rate and lower heap leach costs due to the effect of additional contracts and maintenance
expenses which impacted on the previous quarter. Regarding the operational landscape for the second half of the year, several
initiatives are being analysed to reduce operational costs and capital expenditures as well. Additionally, the use of an external
contractor to increase Cerro Vanguardia’s production profile is under consideration.
In Brazil, at AngloGold Ashanti Mineração, production was 17% lower than previous quarter at 76,000oz reflecting mine plan
changes at Cuiabá as a result of topographic and geotechnical issues and lower production from Córrego do Sítio complex due
to lower than planned feed grades at sulphide operations. Despite some relief from the Brazilian Real depreciation, total cash
cost was 25% higher at $858/oz as a consequence of lower gold produced and lower by-product credits. At Serra Grande,
production was 16% higher than previous quarter at 37,000oz as a result of higher feed grades and metallurgical recovery. Total
cash cost was 14% lower at $675/oz as a result of higher gold produced and the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.
The Project 500 team visited Cuiabá in early June. A visit to Serra Grande is planned in August.
In the United States, at Cripple Creek & Victor, gold production was 60,000oz which was 10% higher than previous quarter
due to improvements to stacking and recovery methods which helped to drawdown inventory. Cash costs increased by 13% to
$726/oz versus the previous quarter partially due to higher costs associated with longer waste hauls and more component parts,
emulsion, tyres and contract services.
EXPLORATION
Total exploration expenditure during the second quarter of 2013, inclusive of expenditure at equity accounted joint ventures,
was $107m ($52m on brownfield, $30m on greenfield and $25m on pre-feasibilty studies), compared with $118m during the
same quarter the previous year ($43m on brownfield, $38m on greenfield and $37m on pre-feasibility studies).
At Geita in Tanzania, drilling focused on the infill drilling programmes at Nyankanga (Cut 10 & Cut 7) while Mineral Resource
delineation drilling was conducted at Nyankanga Deeps, Star & Comet Deeps and Matandani. A total of 4,827m and 4,115m
were drilled in Expensed and Capitalised drilling projects. Assay results from holes drilled in the first half of the year from
Nyankanga (Cut 7 & 8 OP, Cut 10, Block 1, and Block 2 & Block 4 and Deeps), Geita Hill West, Ridge 8, Star & Comet-Ridge 8
Gap and Matandani were received. Significant intersections were reported from each of these programmes, which continued to
confirm their prospectivity.
At Siguiri in Guinea, a total of 402 holes for 34,571m of drilling were completed. Infill drilling (1,031m RC) focused mainly on
upgrading oxide Mineral Resources at Kossise SW (773m) and Sokunu L3 pits (258m) to the NW of the Sokunu main pit. As
anticipated, the drilling at Kossise SW returned some good intersections while the results from the infill programme at Sokunu
L3 pits have not yet been received.

Reconnaissance drilling (27,035m), centred on geochemical and geophysical targets at the Kourouda SE (10,419m), Sintroko
Southwest (13,107m) and Niono (3,509m) prospects. The results reported for these projects have been generally disappointing,
with no significant intercepts reported from Niono and Kourouda SE. Sintroko Southwest returned some good values.
Reconnaissance diamond drilling of 612m was conducted at Komatiguiya into the fresh rock to check and confirm lithologic-
stratigraphic information.
Fresh rock drilling (3 DD holes & 41 RCDD holes) for 6,505m, focused on the rock beneath the current pits of Bidini (1,527m),
Seguelen (2,711m) and Kami (1,656m). This drilling was designed to test the fresh rock potential and depth extent of the ore
zones. The exploration to date below the Seguelen and Kami pits confirmed the continuation of the mineralised ore zones below
the oxide – fresh rock interface.
Geochemical soil sampling stopped at the end of the second quarter. The soil sampling was conducted on a 200m x 50m grid
on the NW of Block 1. During the period 1,377 soil samples were collected, and 832 results were received from the lab with
some high values reported. Geophysical surveys are on-going, focused on IP and resistivity gradient surveys at Kintinian Village
and Seguelen pit for water supply and dewatering.
In Colombia, greenfield exploration continued at the Nuevo Chaquiro target, Quebradona project, in joint venture with B2Gold
(AGA 70%). A total of 3,937m of diamond drilling was completed during the quarter and returned further significant results that
have extended the known mineralised envelope to the east and north-east. The latest results include 402m @ 0.26g/t Au and
0.53% Cu in CHA-032, 189m @ 0.40g/t Au and 0.48% Cu in CHA-047 and potentially indicate the presence of a higher-grade
mineralised core.
Drilling to support the Pre-feasibility study continued at the Gramalote Joint Venture. This included 14,966m completed in
programmes directed toward Mineral Resource infill drilling and opportunities for Mineral Resource addition. Drilling also
continued for facility condemnation, geotechnical and hydrology studies.
At La Colosa, drilling activities resumed with 1,210m completed for Mineral Resource extensions. Hydrology and geotechnical
drilling programmes continued.
In Australia, aircore drilling progressed solidly at the Tropicana JV (AngloGold Ashanti 70%) during the quarter with 30,675m
drilled on several prospects in the south-western end of the Tropicana JV package. Recent results from the Beetle Juice and
Madras Prospects, within 15km to 40km of the Tropicana Gold Mine have returned encouraging gold and base-metals results
and are scheduled for further work in the next quarter. At the Viking project (AngloGold Ashanti 100%) RC drilling was
completed for 2,208m and follows up significant results previously returned in diamond drilling. At the Nyngan JV (AngloGold
Ashanti earning 70%), a gravity survey commenced late in the quarter, while in South Australia, AngloGold Ashanti withdrew
from the Gawler JV.
In Guinea, exploration work continued on the Kounkoun trend in Block 3, with infill and delineation drilling at KK1, KK3 and KK6
targets with a total of 12,649m of combined aircore, RC and diamond completed. Encouragingly, mineralisation continues to remain
open down-dip and along strike with the best results for the second quarter including, but not limited to (true widths), 52.2m @
2.11g/t Au in KKRC361, 18.7m @ 4.21g/t Au in KKRC362, 29.5m @ 2.94g/t Au in KKRC363 and 57.1m @ 1.95g/t Au in KKRC370.
Within Block 2, reconnaissance RC drilling, totalling 5,498m commenced at the highly-prospective Danaya prospect, with
preliminary results returning encouraging intersections requiring further follow-up work.
Detailed information on the exploration activities and studies both for brownfields and greenfields is available on the AngloGold
Ashanti website (www.anglogoldashanti.com).
OUTLOOK
Gold production for the third quarter of 2013 is estimated at 950koz to 1,000koz. Total cash costs are estimated at between
$860/oz-$890/oz at an average exchange rate of R9.85/$, BRL2.15/$, A$0.92/$ and AP5.39/$ and fuel at $105/barrel.
This includes the ongoing impact of annual power tariff increases and winter power tariffs in South Africa. Both cost and
production estimates may be impacted by work stoppages in South Africa.
Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results and no assurance can be
given that any expectations expressed by AngloGold Ashanti will prove to have been correct. Please refer to the Risk Factors
section in AngloGold Ashanti’s prospectus supplement to its prospectus dated 17 July 2012 filed with the SEC on 26 July 2013
and available on the SEC’s homepage at http://www.sec.gov.

Impairment, derecognition of assets and write-down of inventories to net realisable value includes the following:
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.
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 at 30 June
2013 and impairment losses were recognised. The impairment for these cash generating units represents 80% of the total
impairment and range between $200m and $700m per cash generating unit on a post taxation basis.

Impairment calculation assumptions – goodwill, tangible and intangible assets
Management assumptions for the value in use of tangible assets and goodwill include:
the gold price assumption represents management’s best estimate of the future price of gold. A long-term real gold price of $1,252/oz
(2012: $1,584/oz) is based on a range of economic and market conditions that will exist over the remaining useful life of the assets.
Annual life of mine plans take into account the following:
proved and probable Ore Reserve;
value beyond proved and probable reserves (including exploration potential) determined using the gold price assumption referred to
above;
the real pre-tax discount rate, per cash generating unit which ranged from 6.21% to 18.07% is derived from the group’s weighted
average cost of capital (WACC) and risk factors which was consistent with the basis used in 2012. The group WACC of 6.54% (real,
post-tax) which is 128 basis points higher than in 2012 of 5.26%, is based on the average capital structure of the group and three
major gold companies considered to be appropriate peers. In determining the WACC for each cash generating unit, sovereign and
mining risk factors are considered to determine country specific risks. Project risk has been applied to cash flows relating to certain
mines that are deep level underground mining projects in South Africa and Continental Africa region;
foreign currency cash flows translated at estimated forward exchange rates and then discounted using appropriate discount rates for
that currency;
cash flows used in impairment calculations are based on life of mine plans which range from 3 years to 47 years;
under International Financial Reporting Standards it is clear that in preparing interim financial reports, companies make more use of
estimation methods than they do in the process of annual financial reporting. AngloGold Ashanti’s estimates of a range of factors,
including its reserve and resource inventory and future production and cost levels, are premised on an extensive annual planning
process (the last of which was completed at the end of 2012). AngloGold Ashanti’s impairments totalling $2.4bn were calculated using
these most recent planning estimates from the end of 2012, along with adjustments to elements that are known. They do not include
information from optimised mine plans, which are currently being prepared and will include measures to mitigate the effects of the
recent decline in the gold price. Bearing in mind the assumptions made and the information used, these estimates of impairments
necessarily contain a greater element of uncertainty than those traditionally completed at year-end and will be updated in our fourth-
quarter results, scheduled for release in February of 2014; and
variable operating cash flows are increased at local Consumer Price Index rates.

Impairment calculation assumptions – Investments in equity-accounted associates and joint ventures
The impairment indicators considered the quoted share price, current financial position and decline in anticipated operating results.
Included in share of equity-accounted investments’ loss of $183m is an impairment of $187m.
Net realisable value calculation assumptions – Inventory
The decline in the spot gold price to $1,200/oz resulted in a net realisable value decrease below carrying value of the stockpiles and
heap leaches at certain operations. The practice of writing down inventories to the lower of cost or net realisable value is consistent
with the view that assets should not be carried in excess of amounts expected to be realised from their sale or use.

Liquidity and capital resources
To service these 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.

IFRIC 20
Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
New standards and amendments which have an impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of the group are
described below:
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The group adopted the amendments to IAS 1 which required it to group other
comprehensive income items by those that will be reclassified and those that will not be subsequently reclassified to profit and
loss. The amendment affected presentation and had no impact on the group’s financial position or performance.
The accounting policies adopted are significantly consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the
changes arising due to the adoption of IFRIC 20 “Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine” and the
adoption of IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” (revised) (IAS 19) which became effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2013. IFRIC 20 clarifies when an entity should recognise waste removal costs that are incurred in
surface mining activity during the production phase of the mine (“production stripping costs”) as an asset. The
interpretation impacts the way in which the group accounts for production stripping costs.
IAS 19 includes a number of amendments to the accounting for defined benefit plans, including actuarial gains and losses
that are now recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) and permanently excluded from profit and loss; expected
returns on plan assets that are no longer recognised in profit or loss, instead, there is a requirement to recognise interest on
the net defined benefit liability (asset) in profit or loss, calculated using the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit
obligation, and; unvested past service costs are now recognised in profit or loss at the earlier of when the amendment occurs
or when the related restructuring or termination costs are recognised. Other amendments include new disclosures.
In case of the group, the transition to IAS 19 had no impact on the net defined benefit plan obligations due to the difference in
accounting for interest on plan assets. The effect of the adoption of IAS 19 is explained in Note 13.2.
13.1 IFRIC 20 “Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine”
Prior to the issuance of IFRIC 20, the accounting for production stripping costs have been based on general IFRS
principles and the Framework, as IFRS had no specific guidance.
Previously for group accounting purposes stripping costs incurred in open-pit operations during the production phase to
remove additional waste were either capitalised to mine development costs or charged to operating costs on the basis of
the average life of mine stripping ratio and the average life of mine costs per tonne. The cost of stripping in any period
reflected the average stripping rates for the orebody as a whole.
IFRIC 20 provides specific guidance for accounting of production stripping costs in the production phase of a surface
mine. IFRIC 20 differs from the life of mine average strip ratio approach as follows:
• The level at which production stripping costs are to be assessed, i.e. at a component level rather than a life of mine
level; and
• The way in which any stripping activity assets are to be depreciated.
In addition, specific transitional rules are provided to deal with any opening deferred stripping balances the group may
have recognised under its previous accounting policy. The impact as a consequence of moving from a life of mine strip
ratio to a strip ratio applicable to a component of an orebody is as follows:
Quarterly Report June 2013 - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com

background image
Transition
IFRIC 20 has been applied retrospectively to production stripping costs incurred on or after the beginning of the earliest
period presented, which for the group, for the year ending 31 December 2013, is 1 January 2011. Any previously
recognised asset balance(s) that resulted from stripping activity is to be reclassified as part of an existing asset to which
the stripping activity related, to the extent that there remains an identifiable component of the orebody with which the
predecessor stripping asset can be associated.
If there is no identifiable component of the orebody to which the predecessor asset relates, the asset is written off via
opening accumulated losses at the beginning of the earliest periods presented, i.e. 1 January 2011.
Impact of IFRIC 20
For purposes of the quarterly results, the adoption of IFRIC 20 at the transition date of 1 January 2011; the adjustments
required for the financial reporting period from the transition date until the beginning of the preceding period presented, i.e.
1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011; and the adjustments required for the financial reporting period 1 January 2012 to
31 December 2012, had the following cumulative impact on accumulated losses as at 1 January 2012 and 31 December

13.2 Employee benefits
The group operates defined benefit pension plans, which require contributions to be made to separately administered
funds.
IAS 19 (revised) has been applied retrospectively from 1 January 2011. As a result, expected returns on plan assets of
defined benefit plans are not recognised in profit or loss. Instead, interest on net defined benefit obligation is recognised in
profit or loss, calculated using the discount rate used to measure the net pension obligation or asset.
Impact of transition to IAS 19:
No impact was recorded in the statement of financial position on the defined benefit plan obligations nor on total
shareholders’ equity as the impact only affected the pension cost recorded in the income statement and the consequential
effect on actuarial gains and losses recognised in OCI.

14. Non-current assets and liabilities held for sale
Effective 30 April 2013, AngloGold Ashanti announced its plan to sell the Navachab mine in Namibia. The Navachab gold
mine is situated close to Karibib, about 170 kilometres northwest of the Namibian capital, Windhoek. It is included in the
Continental Africa reporting segment. The open-pit mine, which began operations in 1989, has a processing plant that
handles 120,000 metric tons a month. The mine produced 74,000 ounces of gold in 2012.
Management has selected a number of potential bidders who meet management’s qualifying criteria and have asked them to
submit binding bids. Navachab is not a discontinued operation but is not viewed as part of the core assets of the company.
15. Financial risk management activities
Borrowings
The mandatory convertible bonds are carried at fair value. The convertible 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.

Groundwater pollution – AngloGold Ashanti 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 are 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 reasonable 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 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 Department of Mineral Resources and affected mining companies are now involved in the
development of a “Regional Mine Closure Strategy”. In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a
liability, no reasonable estimate can be made for the obligation.
(3)
Indirect taxes – AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited 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 indirect taxes amounting to $25m (2012: $23m). Management is
of the opinion that the indirect taxes are not payable and the company has lodged an objection.
(4)
Litigation - On 11 October 2011, AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited (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. AGAG intends to vigorously defend this claim.
(5)
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. AGAG has filed a notice of intention to defend. In view of the
limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a liability, no reasonable estimate can be made for the obligation.
(6)
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
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 has 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 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 has filed a notice of intention to oppose the application.
In October 2012, a further 31 individual summonses and particulars of claim have been received relating to silicosis and/or other OLD.
The total amount being claimed in the 31 summonses is approximately $8m. On 22 October 2012, AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice of
intention to oppose these claims. AngloGold Ashanti has also served a notice of exception to the summonses which, if successful, is
expected to require the plaintiffs to redraft the particulars of claim to correct certain errors.
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 group is unable to estimate its share of the amounts claimed.
(7)
Other tax disputes - In November 2007, the Departamento Nacional de Produção Mineral (DNPM), a Brazilian federal mining authority,
issued a tax assessment against AngloGold Ashanti Brazil Mineração (AABM) in the amount of $20m (2012: $21m) 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 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 $18m
(2012: $17m). Management is of the opinion that these taxes are not payable.
(8)
Sales tax on gold deliveries – In 2006, Mineração Serra Grande S.A. (MSG), received two tax assessments from the State of Goiás
related to 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 are approximately $63m (2012: $96m) and $39m
(2012: $60m) respectively. In November 2006, the administrative council’s second chamber ruled in favour of MSG and fully cancelled the
tax liability related to the first period. In July 2011, the administrative council’s second chamber ruled in favour of MSG and fully cancelled
the tax liability related to the second period. The State of Goiás has appealed to the full board of the State of Goiás tax administrative
Quarterly Report June 2013 - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com

council. In November 2011 (first case) and June 2012 (second case), the administrative council’s full board approved the suspension of
proceedings and the remittance of the matter to the Department of Supervision of Foreign Trade (COMEX) for review and verification. On
28 May 2013, the Full Board of the State of Goiás Tax Administrative Council ruled in favour of the State of Goiás, however reduced the
penalties of the two tax assessments from 200% to 80%. The company is considering legal options available in this matter, since it
believes that both assessments are in violation of federal legislation on sales taxes. MSG will be required to provide a bank guarantee to
the tax authorities for the possible taxes payable. The company believes both assessments are in violation of federal legislation on sales
taxes.
(9)
Other tax disputes - MSG received a tax assessment in October 2003 from the State of Minas Gerais related to sales taxes on gold. 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 $18m (2012: $19m).
(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. The company believes that it has applied the tax
legislation correctly. The company is considering defending AGAC’s position. An estimated additional tax of $24m will be payable if the
tax returns are amended. Penalties and interest for the additional tax are expected to be $150m, based on Colombian tax law.
(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 $22m 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 $50m. Management is of the opinion that the taxes
are not payable and is preparing a response.
(12)   Indemnity - As part of the acquisition by AngloGold Ashanti of the remaining 50% interest in MSG during June 2012, Kinross Gold
Corporation (Kinross) has provided an indemnity to a maximum amount of BRL255m ($116m at 30 June 2013 exchange rates) against
the specific exposures discussed in items 7 and 8 above. At 30 June 2013, the company has estimated that the maximum contingent
asset is $62m (2012: $90m).
(13)   Royalty – As a result of the sale of the interest in the Boddington Gold Mine during 2009, the group is entitled to receive a royalty on any
gold recovered or produced by the Boddington Gold Mine, where the gold price is in excess of Boddington Gold Mine's cash cost plus
$600/oz. The royalty commenced on 1 July 2010 and is capped at a total amount of $100m, of which $73m (2012: $60m) have been
recorded to date.
(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 will be determined at 3% of the net revenue (being gross revenue less state royalties) generated by the Tau Lekoa assets.
Royalties on 352,214oz produced have been received to date.
(15)   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 $10m (2012: $12m). 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 risk
There is a concentration of risk in respect of recoverable value added tax, fuel duties and appeal deposits from the
Tanzanian government. The outstanding amounts have been discounted to their present value at a rate of 7.82%.
The recoverable value added tax, fuel duties and appeal deposits are summarised as follows:

phase and it expected to produce its first gold in the September quarter.
20. Subsequent events
On 12 July 2013, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded AngloGold Ashanti’s credit rating to Baa3 from Baa2. Moody’s
also downgraded the company’s senior unsecured debt.
On 15 July 2013, AngloGold Ashanti notified shareholders of the resignation of Mr Anthony Martin O’Neill as an executive
director from the Board of Directors with effect from 19 July 2013. In addition the company announced that Mr O’Neill had
decided to take early retirement and will be relinquishing his position as Executive Vice President: Business and Technical
Development of the company with his last day of work being 19 July 2013.

On 17 July 2013, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) cut its long-term corporate credit rating on AngloGold Ashanti to BB+ from
BBB- and its long and short-term South Africa national-scale ratings on AngloGold Ashanti to zaA/zaA-2 from zaAA-/zaA-
1. It also lowered its issue rating on AngloGold’s senior unsecured notes to BB+ from BBB-.
On 25 July 2013, AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the
outstanding 3.5% Guaranteed Convertible Bonds due May 2014 of AngloGold Ashanti Holdings Finance plc at a purchase
price of $1,015 for each $1,000 principal amount of Bonds validly tendered. In addition, holders will receive, in respect of
their Bonds that are accepted for purchase, accrued and unpaid interest on such Bonds up to, but excluding, the
settlement date of the tender offer. Completion of the tender offer will be conditioned upon, among other things, the
completion of one or more financing transactions. As of 24 July 2013, there was $732.5m aggregate principal amount of
Bonds outstanding.
On 30 July 2013, AngloGold Ashanti raised a corporate bond of $1,250m at 8.5% interest per annum to replace the 3.5%
Guaranteed Convertible Bond due May 2014. The funds raised over and above the settlement of the convertible bond will
be used for capital purposes and to provide flexibility for an expiring revolving credit facility.
