Disclaimer
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, 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 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 the
prospectus supplement to AngloGold Ashanti’s prospectus dated 17 July 2012 that was filed with the SEC on 26 July 2013. These
factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects
on future results. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. AngloGold
Ashanti undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable
law. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to AngloGold Ashanti or any person acting on its behalf are
qualified by the cautionary statements herein. This communication may contain certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures. AngloGold
Ashanti utilises certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing its business. Non-GAAP financial measures
should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other
measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures other companies may use. AngloGold Ashanti posts information that is important to investors
