News Release
30 January 2014
Threatened strike by AMCU declared unprotected by Labour Court interim interdict
(ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI – Press Release) AngloGold Ashanti is pleased to advise that South
Africa’s Labour Court has today ruled that a strike threatened by the Association of Construction and
Mineworkers Union (AMCU) at the company’s South Africa mines would be unprotected, and that
employees should continue to proceed to work. The ruling given by Judge Edwin
Molahlegi, on
behalf of Judge Hamilton Cele, ruled that AMCU must return to court on 14 March 2014 to explain
why this interim interdict that was applied for by the Chamber of Mines should not be made
permanent.
AMCU sought to proceed with strike action on a number of gold mining operations with effect from
20 January 2014 in relation to the wage agreement that was finalised in September 2013 in the gold
sector between the employers and the National Union of Mineworkers, UASA and Solidarity and
which was applied to all employees in the represented bargaining units. Together, these three
unions represented 72% of employees in the sector. The agreed increases and improved benefits
were backdated to 1 July 2013 and all employees, irrespective of union affiliation, have been in
receipt of these since September 2013.
An urgent interdict brought to the court by the gold producers was heard on 19 January, and
Judge Cele ordered that strike action be held in abeyance until today’s ruling.

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

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

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-

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 United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on 26 July 2013. These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could
