CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

The board of AngloGold notes the announcement by Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited as follows:

"The board of Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited ("Ashanti") notes the recent movement in its share price. It confirms that the boards of Ashanti and AngloGold Limited ("AngloGold") are in discussions regarding a proposed merger of the two companies at a ratio of 26 AngloGold shares for every 100 Ashanti ordinary shares or global depositary securities. These discussions may or may not lead to a proposal being made for the entire issued share capital of Ashanti.

The boards of the two companies have initiated discussions with certain stakeholders and a further announcement will be made in due course. However, there can be no assurance that agreement will be reached. Consequently, shareholders of Ashanti are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the relevant securities until a further announcement is made."

AngloGold confirms that it is in negotiations with Ashanti and certain of its stakeholders but there can be no assurance that agreement will be reached. Consequently, shareholders of AngloGold are advised to exercise caution when dealing in relevant securities until a further announcement is made.
