Financial and Operating Report
OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER
Production for the seasonally weak first quarter declined by 9% to 1.08Moz from that of the previous quarter.
This was, however, ahead of guidance of 1.07Moz.
Total cash costs, which includes a $25/oz charge for deferred stripping, rose 4% to $619/oz, resulting from
lower production and inflationary increases. Total cash costs were, however, better than guidance of
$660/oz, due to higher than anticipated inventory build-up, lower than expected release of deferred stripping
charges and other efficiencies.
SAFETY
AngloGold Ashanti’s focus on safety continued at the start of the year, with January’s lost time injury
frequency rate (LTIFR) of 4.96 injuries per million hours worked, having been the best achieved in the
company’s history. The LTIFR for the quarter of 7.02 was little changed from the same period in 2009 but
decreased by 7% from the previous quarter. The South African operations lost 18 shifts to safety-related
stoppages.
Tragically, three miners were fatally injured during the quarter in separate incidents at Siguiri, Kopanang and
Moab Khotsong. Both South African mines had each achieved 1 million fatality free shifts earlier in the
quarter, underscoring the significant successes in reducing injury from falls of ground at these deep mines.
AngloGold Ashanti’s management team analysed the causes of these recent fatalities and is working to put
in place measures to prevent any reoccurrence. The Safety Transformation Blueprint, an overarching
strategy to help eliminate all workplace injuries, remains on track for implementation in the first half of this
year and will assist in realising the next quantum improvement in the overall safety performance.
Sadiola achieved the important milestone of 5 million shifts over a year without a lost time injury, while Cerro
Vanguardia went without a lost time injury for 1 million hours worked.
OPERATING REVIEW
The South African operations produced 384,000oz in the first quarter of 2010, at a total cash cost of
$626/oz, compared with 431,000oz at $569/oz in the previous quarter. The traditionally slow start to the year,
following the annual December break contributed to the decline, as did safety stoppages at Kopanang and
lower grades reported at Moab Khotsong, Great Noligwa, Kopanang and Mponeng. TauTona was
successfully restarted and contributed 44,000oz after the inspection and rehabilitation of the shaft barrel at
the end of last year. The rehabilitation work being carried out at Savuka, to repair damage to the
underground infrastructure caused a year ago by a seismic event, continues and is expected to be
completed by September 2010.
Continental Africa’s production decreased to 374,000oz in the first quarter at a total cash cost of $630/oz,
from 418,000oz at $668/oz the previous quarter. Iduapriem was the chief contributor to the decline,
producing only 20,000oz after the operation was suspended for 10 weeks to increase the overall tailings
storage capacity. While output at Obuasi was marginally higher for the quarter, production will be impacted
by around 20,000oz to 25,000oz in the second quarter as gold processing is curtailed pending the
implementation of a revised water management strategy. Geita continued its turnaround, with the anticipated
higher grades from the Nyankanga pit helping to boost production and lower unit costs.
Australia’s production rose to 114,000oz at a total cash cost of A$1,030/oz ($931/oz), from 107,000oz at
A$949/oz ($863/oz) in the prior quarter. Total cash costs were inflated by deferred waste-stripping charges
during the quarter of some A$357/oz ($322/oz).
background image
The Americas production fell to 207,000oz at a total cash cost of $398/oz during the first quarter, from
226,000oz at $385/oz in the previous quarter. The decline came from a planned reduction in grade from
Serra Grande and anticipated lower tonnages from AngloGold Brasil Mineraçáo, which despite this remained
the lowest cost producer in the group at $369/oz. Argentina further consolidated its recovery of the past 18
months with steady production of 47,000oz, while Cripple Creek & Victor continued its recovery from leach
pad issues that hampered its performance last year, with a 4% increase in production over the quarter to
58,000oz.
FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW
Adjusted headline earnings (excluding accelerated hedge buy-back costs) for the quarter declined to $61m,
from $228m in the prior quarter, due largely to: the decreased production in a seasonally weak quarter,
particularly when compared with the traditionally strong fourth quarter; the non-recurrence of a $65m foreign
exchange gain; higher charges for amortisation and rehabilitation; and higher tax charges due to non-
recurring credits and certain tax-free gains recorded in the previous quarter.
Profit attributable to equity shareholders (including fair value movements on the bond and the hedge book)
was $157m for the quarter, compared with $424m during the prior period when historical asset impairments
at Geita, Obuasi and Iduapriem were reversed. This was partly negated by the net gain on the unrealised
non-hedge derivatives.
The average realised gold price for the quarter was $1,015/oz, representing an 8.6% discount to the average
spot price of $1,110/oz. Delivery into hedge contracts continued with the removal of a further 350,000oz from
the book during the first quarter, leaving total commitments of 3.55Moz at 31 March 2010. The hedge book is
expected to reduce by a further 280,000oz by the end of the year, resulting in an average discount to spot
gold prices of between 8% and 10%, in line with previous guidance. This assumes a gold price range of
$950/oz to $1,250/oz and annual production of between 4.5Moz to 4.7Moz.
Subsequent to the quarter-end, AngloGold Ashanti successfully concluded two legs of a financing package
totalling $2bn, to fulfil the company’s commitment to refinance its debt facilities that were due to mature in
the near term and to extend the overall tenor of its debt. The first leg comprised a four-year, unsecured
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of 16 banks at an interest rate of 175 basis points above the London
Interbank Offered Rate. After receiving investment grade ratings from Moody’s Investors Service and
Standard & Poor, AngloGold Ashanti completed a $1bn bond issue in April. The issue, which was more than
six times oversubscribed, comprised: $700m of 10-year notes carrying a coupon of 5.375%, at a premium of
165 basis points above United States treasury bills of equivalent maturity; and $300m of 30-year notes with a
coupon of 6.5%, or 200 basis points above the relevant treasury bills. This outcome is to be welcomed in that
it removes refinancing risk and serves to match AngloGold Ashanti’s debt to the long-life nature of its
portfolio.
The proceeds from the bond will be used to extinguish and cancel: the $500m term facility from Standard
Chartered, of which half was drawn at the quarter-end; and the $1.15bn revolving credit facility which
matures in December 2010, of which $710m was drawn at the end of the first quarter. The cancellation of
these debt facilities will result in a once off $8m charge (accelerated amortisation of fees) to the income
statement in the second quarter.
EXPLORATION
Total exploration expenditure during the first quarter, inclusive of expenditure at equity accounted joint
ventures, was $48m ($17m on brownfields exploration, $17m on greenfields exploration and $14m on pre-
feasibility studies), compared with $71m ($29m on brownfields, $25m on greenfields and $17m on pre-
feasibility studies) in the previous quarter. A total of 39,280m was drilled during the quarter at existing
priority targets so as to delineate new targets across the company’s property holdings. Work on the feasibility
study for the Tropicana project continued according to schedule, while further drilling on the nearby Boston
Shaker showed potential for an additional open-pit and Havana Deeps showed underground mining
background image
potential. Additional expenditure of A$9m was approved to accelerate drilling on both deposits, increasing
the Tropicana JV exploration budget for 2010 to A$25m.
In Colombia, where final permissions are awaited for the resumption of drilling at the La Colosa project,
exploration was undertaken on two other prospects. Elsewhere in the Americas, where AngloGold Ashanti
has 50,000km
2
of exploration tenements in the most prospective gold territories and new frontiers,
exploration efforts were focused on new targets which were identified in Brazil, Argentina and Canada.
A 50,000m drilling campaign, expected to commence during the June quarter, is planned for AngloGold
Ashanti’s landholdings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo following the successful conclusion of
negotiations with the state-owned gold company. A pre-feasibility study is currently underway at the
Mongbwalu concession and is expected to be completed within a year.
OUTLOOK
AngloGold Ashanti’s production and total cash cost guidance for the full year 2010 are both unchanged at
4.5Moz to 4.7Moz at a total cash cost of $590/oz to $615/oz. This assumes an average exchange rate of
R7.70/$ and an oil price of $75/barrel.
Our press release dated 30 March 2010 flagged that second quarter production from Ghana will be 20,000 to
25,000 ounces lower, for reasons stated previously. In addition, Sunrise Dam will have a planned drop in
quarterly production in the second quarter, but remains on track for the full year’s target. We are therefore
guiding second quarter’s production at similar levels recorded in the first quarter, i.e. 1.079Moz at a total
cash cost of $650/oz at a rand exchange rate of R7.40/$ for the quarter.
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER
SOUTH AFRICA
Great Noligwa’s gold production declined by 13% from the previous quarter to 908kg (29,000oz), due
mainly to planned downscaling of the operation; lower grades mined caused by the replacement of panels
affected by seismicity; and a shaft incident which resulted in a three-day stoppage. The lower production is in
line with a downscaling strategy designed to return the mine to profitability in 2010. Total cash costs fell 6%
to R228,300/kg ($946/oz), mainly because of this initiative. The adjusted gross loss of R58m ($8m) was 4%
higher than the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 14.84 (11.54).
Kopanang’s gold production declined by 31% to 2,183kg (70,000oz), the result of lower volumes mined due
in part to safety related stoppages. Grades were also 20% lower because of decreased mining values. As a
result, total cash costs rose by 47% to R141,068/kg ($585/oz), while adjusted gross profit declined to R81m
($11m), compared with R345m ($46m) in the prior quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 9.45 (13.34). The mine had one fatality during the quarter.
Moab Khotsong’s production declined by 13% to 1,956kg (63,000oz), primarily caused by a five-day safety-
related stoppage following a fatal accident during the quarter. Grade was 3% lower at 8.58g/t with the mining
of lower grade areas. Total cash costs rose by 18% to R138,531/kg ($574/oz) because of the lower output,
combined with an increased labour complement transferred from Great Noligwa. Adjusted gross profit
decreased to R7m ($1m), compared with R94m ($13m) in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 15.39 (16.05). The mine reported one fatality during the quarter.
Tau Lekoa’s production declined by 20% to 833kg (27,000oz), in line with a planned reduction in volume
mined as well as lower grade caused by lock-up in the plant. Total cash costs increased by 24% to
R218,156/kg ($904/oz). Adjusted gross profit was R18m ($2m), compared with R78m ($10m) in the previous
quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 26.48 (16.10).
background image
Mponeng’s production decreased by 9% to 3,584kg (115,000oz), impacted primarily by reduced vamping
and a 6% drop in yield caused by dilution from increased stoping widths. Consequently, total cash costs
increased by 11% to R106,198/kg ($440/oz). Adjusted gross profit was R342m ($45m), compared with
R524m ($70m) in the previous quarter.
LTIFR deteriorated to 14.16 (11.16).
Savuka’s production remained constrained at 43kg (1,000oz) following a series of seismic events that
occurred close to the shaft infrastructure on 22 May 2009. Rehabilitation work is progressing slower than
anticipated and return to normal production levels is anticipated in the second half of 2010. The adjusted
gross loss widened to R84m ($11m), compared with R63m ($8m) in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 4.05 (3.93).
TauTona’s production nearly doubled to 1,383kg (44,000oz) as normal mining operations resumed following
the suspension of underground operations during the previous quarter to repair and inspect steelwork along
the shaft barrel. Consequently, total cash costs decreased to R188,082/kg ($779/oz). The adjusted gross
loss narrowed to R32m ($4m), compared to a loss of R186m ($25m) in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 14.65 (6.37).
Surface Operations production decreased by 6% to 1,058kg (34,000oz), due mainly to a 6% drop in grade
from waste-rock, resulting in a 14% increase in total cash costs to R125,192/kg ($518/oz). Initiatives to
upgrade areas being reclaimed are under investigation. Adjusted gross profit was down 21% to R114m
($15m), compared with R145m ($19m) in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 0.00 (2.24).
CONTINENTAL AFRICA
GHANA
Iduapriem’s production decreased by 63% to 20,000oz as a result of the temporary suspension of
operations following a decision taken jointly with the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency and the
company to upgrade the existing tailings storage facility. Total cash costs rose by 54% to $791/oz and
adjusted gross profit decreased to $2m from $26m in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 0.83 (0.00).
Obuasi’s production rose by 1% to 98,000oz as a result of further improvements in grade-control
management. Total cash costs dropped 1% to $559/oz as a result of the higher grades mined, but was partly
offset by lower throughput due to a temporary plant shutdown to implement a revised water management
strategy. Adjusted gross profit increased to $30m, 15% better than the prior quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 1.31 (2.41).
REPUBLIC OF GUINEA
Siguiri’s production (85% attributable) declined by 5% to 73,000oz as a result of marginally lower tonnage
throughput and a 2% decrease in recovered grade. Total cash costs fell 11% to $567/oz due to lower royalty
expenditure related to timing of gold sales and lower waste-stripping costs. Adjusted gross profit decreased
to $25m from $30m in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 1.30 (0.65). The mine had one fatality during the quarter.
background image
MALI
Morila’s production (40% attributable) declined by 19% to 25,000oz as a result of an 8% decrease in
tonnage throughput and a 12% fall in recovered grade. Total cash costs decreased by 6% to $619/oz due to
the lower tonnage throughput that resulted in a decrease in fuel and consumable stores usage, together with
a lower stockpile depletion expense. Adjusted gross profit decreased to $11m from $13m in the previous
quarter.
LTIFR was 0.00 (0.00).
Sadiola’s production (41% attributable) declined by 6% to 30,000oz as a result of a planned 6% decrease in
tonnage throughput. Total cash costs were 11% lower at $569/oz, as a result of the weaker local currency,
together with lower reagent and engineering stores costs. Adjusted gross profit increased to $15m from
$12m in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 0.75 (0.00).
Yatela’s production (40% attributable) decreased by 4% to 27,000oz, resulting mainly from a decrease in
tonnage stacked. Total cash costs increased by 24% to $474/oz as a result of higher mining costs to access
new sources of ore, partially offset by the weakening of the local operating currency. Adjusted gross profit
decreased to $16m from $17m in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 3.42 (0.00).
NAMIBIA
Navachab’s production rose by 6% to 18,000oz as a result of an improvement in recovered grade. Total
cash costs dropped by 10% to $656/oz due to the higher grade ore treated and a decrease in waste mining
volumes. Adjusted gross profit decreased by $1m to $4m as a result of a higher amortisation expense for the
quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 2.52 (2.62).
TANZANIA
Geita’s production increased by 4% to 84,000oz due to an increase in recovered grade. Total cash costs
declined by 22% to $828/oz as AngloGold Ashanti’s Project ONE business improvement intervention began
to deliver results, coupled with lower deferred stripping charges and certain once-off credits. Reagent and
power consumption were reduced after implementing the new blending strategy, improved process controls
and reducing process variation. Plant and heavy mobile equipment maintenance costs were also reduced.
Adjusted gross profit increased to $1m from a loss of $13m recorded in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (0.00).
AUSTRALASIA
AUSTRALIA
Sunrise Dam’s gold production increased by 7% to 114,000oz. Total cash costs increased 8% to A$995/oz
($900/oz), primarily due to the impact of deferred stripping costs which accounted for 32% of the total cash
costs. Adjusted gross profit was A$1m ($1m), compared with A$12m ($11m) in the previous quarter,
because of deferred stripping and inventory movements.
With one LTI in the quarter, the LTIFR was 2.34 (0.00).

AMERICAS
ARGENTINA
At Cerro Vanguardia (92.5% attributable), gold production remained unchanged at 47,000oz whilst silver
production increased as planned by 19% to 695,000oz. Total cash costs at $390/oz reflects the higher cost
of salaries, explosives and professional services, all partially offset by an increase in silver by-product
credits. Adjusted gross profit at $19m was similar to the previous quarter.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (0.00).
BRAZIL
AngloGold Ashanti Brasil Mineração’s production declined by 15% to 82,000oz, as a result of a planned
reduction in tonnages. Total cash costs fell 12% to $369/oz, due to a weaker real, higher acid by-product
credits and lower services and power supply costs. Adjusted gross profit declined to $39m from $46m in the
previous quarter, reflecting lower gold sales and received prices.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 1.15 (1.14).
At Serra Grande (50% attributable), production declined 26% to 20,000oz reflecting a planned drop in grade
and treated tonnage. Total cash costs rose 34% to $453/oz, reflecting lower production, as well as higher
maintenance costs and stockpile movements. Adjusted gross profit was $8m, compared to $14m of the
previous quarter.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (0.00).
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Cripple Creek & Victor’s gold production increased by 4% to 58,000oz, due in large part to the `hi-low’
stacking plan which placed higher grade ore closer to the liner in the old load-out-bin area and the lower
grade ore higher on the pad, further from the liner. The addition of lime improved pad chemistry, which
resulted in increased production. Total cash costs increased by 15% to $482/oz, due to fewer costs deferred
to inventory. Adjusted gross profit was $27m, compared with $28m in the prior quarter.
The LTIFR was unchanged at 3.80.

Review of the Gold Market
1. GOLD PRICE MOVEMENT AND INVESTMENT MARKETS
1.1. Gold price data
Gold traded in a relatively tight range of $90/oz during the first quarter of the year, compared with
$218/oz the previous quarter. The price averaged 1% higher during the period at $1,110/oz. The
price held convincingly above $1,000/oz, reflecting broad investor satisfaction despite lingering
uncertainty on the prognosis for the global economy and financial markets.
The inverse correlation of the gold price and the US dollar remained largely intact and late January
saw a stronger dollar exert downward pressure on the gold price. The dollar rallied in response to
increased reserve requirements announced by the Chinese, followed by the Reserve Bank of India.
Both highlighted the fragility of any global recovery.
Growing doubt over sovereign stability, most notably that of Greece, and the ability of certain
countries to fund or refinance significant debt obligations approaching maturity, added impetus to
the dollar’s gains. Greece is not alone. Other European nations holding large tranches of maturing
debt are also likely to face refinancing headwinds, placing further strain on the euro and ensured a
stronger dollar than might have been expected.
Nevertheless, the gold price has remained steady, trading comfortably above $1,000/oz. The
picture is decidedly more bullish in Europe, where the continued economic turmoil has pushed
bullion to historic highs in euro terms. This further reflects the metal’s true performance as a
financial asset.
Gold touched a record €834/oz during the quarter, 3% higher than its previous high of €812/oz on
3 December 2009. The price has continued to climb since the end of the quarter, reaching €900/oz
on 3 May 2010.
Combined holdings of the nine major gold exchange traded funds were little changed, despite the
stronger dollar, ending the quarter 1Moz lower at 55.3Moz.
Speculative activity on COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange was more
pronounced, with the net long position rising 36% from its trough during the quarter to a peak of
30.4Moz.
1.2.   Official sector
Official sector selling was once again conspicuous by its absence. There were no sales recorded
during the quarter despite the IMF’s stated intention to sell 191 tonnes of gold on the open market.
No central bank purchases were announced in the first quarter.
1.3.   Producer de-hedging
No significant activity was reported.
1.4.   Currencies
The US dollar remained relatively weak against most other currencies, notwithstanding its strength
relative to the euro.
The rand again outperformed most emerging market currencies in the quarter ended 31 March.
The Australian dollar remained resolute, averaging A$/$0.9045 during the quarter and trading in a
narrow range of A$/$0.8640 to A$/$0.9320. The strength of the Australian dollar was aided by the
background image
hawkish stance of the Reserve Bank of Australia, a standout amongst central banks after hiking
rates a further 25 basis points against a global backdrop of low interest rates in many other
countries.
The Brazilian real, which for many quarters stood out among the best performing emerging market
currencies, failed to extend its strengthening trend. During the quarter under review it averaged
$/BRL 1.80 which is 3% weaker than its average of the previous quarter, closing at $/BRL 1.78 at
the end of March.
1.5.   Silver
Silver prices continued to display a close correlation to gold prices. The silver price averaged
$16.93/oz for the quarter, from $17.53/oz the previous quarter. The silver ETF remained static
quarter on quarter at 396Moz.
2.  PHYSICAL DEMAND
2.1.   Jewellery sales
The world’s largest gold markets of India and China performed well, while there was encouraging
jewellery consumption data from the Middle East for the first time since the onset of the global
financial crisis. Relative gold price stability aided recovery in all markets. India, the world’s largest
gold consumer, enjoyed a vastly improved first quarter amid upbeat sentiment stoked by signs of
accelerating economic growth and a stronger rupee. Gold imports topped 144 tonnes, the highest
first quarter tally in the past five years. Many retailers are restocking and also increasing the share
of gold jewellery relative to diamond jewellery in their inventories to boost turnover over profit
margins. It is anticipated that the first quarter’s gains will be consolidated in the second quarter,
with key buying opportunities presented by the Hindu New Year festivals, including the highly
auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, as well as the upcoming wedding season.
China’s first quarter sales are traditionally marked by strong demand amid Chinese New Year and
Valentines Day celebrations. While many retailers reported good trade given that the two events
fell on the same day this year, demand would have been stronger had the two not been combined.
Interestingly, Women’s Day on 8 March registered strong sales for the first time as women marked
the day by buying jewellery, a positive indicator for the Chinese jewellery market. Some Chinese
manufacturers reported the first quarter as their strongest of the past decade. January and
February orders were predictably high while a surprisingly robust March indicates retailer
confidence in the coming months.
While the US market continued its struggle, some positive data from the fourth quarter continued
into the new year. Sterling Jewellers, the countries largest retailer, reported an 8% increase in
sales for the full year through January. There were signs of retailers cautiously adding to
inventories as year-on-year sales showed a modest increase. High-end retailers, including Tiffany,
Sacks of Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, reported strong sales. A continuation of that trend
would confirm the popular contention that the high-end market would be first to recover from the
slump. The luxury sector showed a similar rebound, as post-holiday discounting bolstered first
quarter sales.
The Middle East showed signs of recovery. In the United Arab Emirates an increase in tourists
visiting before and after the Dubai Shopping Festival helped boost gold sales. Residents also
showed signs of adjusting to a $1,090/oz gold price level, which further supported sales boosted by
growing consumer confidence. Total jewellery sales increased by as much as 20% year on year.
Turkish jewellery exports leapt 52% to 10.4 tonnes, while local jewellery sales rose 33% from a
year earlier. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the relative stability of gold prices in the first quarter,
along with, increased government stimulus and occasions like Spring Holiday, Valentine’s Day and
Mothers’ Day, all aided a 12% to 15% increase in jewellery sales.
background image
2.2.   Investment market
Last year’s positive trend in bar and coin sales in India continued in the first quarter. The Indian
ETF showed low levels of redemptions, while the launch of three new funds was announced.
Changes to income tax regulations put more money in the hands of consumers, further boosting
the local gold market. Recent advertising campaigns sponsored by commercial banks, extolling
gold as a ‘real’ asset that can be used as collateral, are also now gaining traction. Scrap activity
declined significantly.
In the US, bar and coin sales remained steady. January saw some investors selling gold to
rebalance portfolios, but gold ETF sales were strong since February. ETF demand in the first
quarter dropped sharply from the same period in 2009, when investors sought safe haven during
the darkest days of the financial crisis. The launch of Sprott Asset Management’s physical gold
delivery ETF, saw ten tons of gold absorbed in just four days. In another significant transaction,
China Investment Corp bought 1.5 million units of the SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest ETF.
The fact that CIC chose not to buy physical gold from Chinese sources highlights one of the
primary benefits of investing in ETFs: they are easier to value, book and transact.
First quarter demand for China Gold Investment Bars was more than double that in the first quarter
of last year. In fact, demand for gold bars in China during January and February was so strong that
the Shanghai Gold Exchange imported 70t of bullion. Such positive data reflects a growing fear of
rising inflation and investors diversifying away from property.
Middle Eastern investment saw some improvement in the first quarter, although it is more muted
than gains in the jewellery sector. However it should be remembered that in terms of sales, the
Middle Eastern jewellery market is far more significant than the investment market. In the UAE,
demand for coins and bars rose by more than 15%, as Asian residents adjusted to a gold price
around $1,090/oz. The Turkish market for physical gold investment showed modest gains and
increased both year on year and quarter on quarter. Despite stronger jewellery manufacture,
bullion imports were virtually non-existent as Turkish manufacturers were served by an increased
supply of scrap. In Saudi Arabia the level of investment demand was flat.

Hedge position
As at 31 March 2010, the net delta hedge position was 3.35Moz or 104t (at 31 December 2009: 3.49Moz or 108t),
representing a further reduction of 0.14Moz for the quarter. The total commitments of the hedge book as at 31 March
2010 was 3.55Moz or 110t, a reduction of 0.35Moz from the position as at 31 December 2009.
The marked-to-market value of all hedge transactions making up the hedge positions was a negative $2.07bn (negative
R15.09bn), decreasing by $0.11bn (R1.09bn) over the quarter. This value was based on a gold price of $1,112.50/oz,
exchange rates of R7.30/$ and A$/$0.9162 and the prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at that date.
As at 5 May 2010, the marked-to-market value of the hedge book was a negative $2.18bn (negative R16.47bn), based
on a gold price of $1,169.20/oz and exchange rates of R7.55/$ and A$/$0.9073 and the prevailing market interest rates
and volatilities at the time.
These marked-to-market valuations are in no way predictive of the future value of the hedge position, nor of future impact
on the revenue of the company. The valuation represents the theoretical cost of buying all hedge contracts at the time of
valuation, at market prices and rates available at the time.

Exploration
BROWNFIELDS EXPLORATION
In South Africa, surface drilling continued in the Project Zaaiplaats area. MMB5 deflection 7 advanced to a
depth of 2,797m. MZA9 continued drilling deflection 23 and advanced 267m over the quarter. The Vaal reef
intersection is expected in June 2010. The long deflection from MGR6 continued drilling and the hole is
currently at a depth of 2,742m. The Vaal Reef is expected to be intersected in September 2010 after minor
delays were caused by a jammed core barrel. MGR8 progressed to 40m above the reef (3,139m) when the
rods broke. A wedge was then set at 3,010m so as to bypass the stuck rods. A reef intersection is
anticipated in June 2010.
In the Western Ultra Deep Levels area, UD51 advanced from a depth of 2,796m to a depth of 3,064m with a
Ventersdorp Contact Reef intersection expected in September 2010.
At Obuasi in Ghana, 1,374m of drilling was completed above 50 level. Drilling is scheduled to re-start on
50 level, with one hole starting in May and two in June as the sites are re-equipped.
In Argentina, positive results have been obtained from in-fill drilling on the known veins. In regional
exploration, detailed mapping on four targets defined by radial and circular magnetic signatures at El Volcán
is continuing.
In Australia, at Sunrise Dam, drilling continued to infill and extend both surface and underground lodes.
Underground targets included GQ, Cosmo, Dolly and extensions to all these bodies. Surface targets
included the paleochannel, Golden Delicious and Sunrise North including Neville. Drilling has continued at
Wilga with a series of water bores being drilled.
In Brazil, surface and underground drilling for oxide and sulphide ore at Córrego do Sítio, remains the
primary focus. The Fe-Quad step change exploration project commenced with exploration starting at the
Pari prospect. At MSG, the down-dip extension of the Pequizão ore body is being targeted. Potential
extensions of the Cajueiro are being targeted by a new drilling programme following structural
reinterpretation. Final reports on exploration for MSG in accordance to the Brazilian Mining regulations have
been completed and six new applications for exploration are being considered by the authorities. Regional
exploration work continued on the Votorantim Metais areas.
In Colombia, at the La Colosa project, some restrictions on exploration activities have been lifted by the
authorities. However, some water permits crucial for the resumption of exploration drilling remain suspended
due to drought and consequent water restrictions. The most likely scenario is for drilling to resume late in the
third quarter. Meanwhile, geophysical work (induction potential) is continuing and results to date encourage
the view that it can be used to develop drill target extensions to the altered early diorite which is the primary
host of the gold mineralisation. The development of a ‘geometallurgical model’, to define local variability in
gold recovery and other important metallurgical treatment characteristics is progressing and will be
invaluable for planning future exploitation.
At Kibali in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mineral Resource drilling of the KCD deposit continued
and targeted the defining of the open pit/underground interface and the pit shell itself. A total of 19 holes
(8,183m) were drilled. Drilling of the KCD Sessenge gap and the KCD infill programme commenced with
400m and 1,481m being drilled respectively. In the case of the KCD infill drilling all boreholes confirmed the
existing wireframe model.
background image
A review and reinterpretation of the ore zones on the project was undertaken during the quarter – this
involved the re-logging of some 163 boreholes taking into consideration alteration, mineralisation and
structural criteria.
Surface mapping has been completed on four oxide ore potential targets with the result that a 5,000m RC
programme has been proposed for the Memekazi – Renzi project area. Soil sampling started at Block 1 in
January with 747 samples taken. To date three anomalies have been identified in this block.
For Mongbwalu, a definitive agreement was signed with joint venture partner OKIMO on 20 March 2010.
Within one year a feasibility study (as defined in the joint venture agreement) must be completed and
submitted. In support of this feasibility study operations continued throughout the quarter aimed at
metallurgical and geotechnical test work as well as infill Mineral Resource drilling.
A total of 15 core holes (2,563m) were completed, nine for geotechnical test work and the remainder for
Mineral Resource definition.
At Siguiri in Guinea, a total of 22,173m of RC drilling was completed within the Combined Pits project area.
The aim being to upgrade oxide Mineral Resources in Bidini South and Kalamagna South areas, around the
Tubani Extension pit and between Bidini and Sanu-Tinti pits. Drilling around Kosise West and Kosise South
East prospects was also completed with the aim of generating new Mineral Resource ounces.
Geological and geotechnical diamond drilling (229.6m) in the Tubani Extension project was carried out early
in the quarter. Further drilling below Sanu Tinti, Sintroko and Soloni Pits brought the total of diamond drilling
to 1,368m.
Reconnaissance and delineation drilling continued on a ground gravity and surface geochemical target north
west of the Seguélén pit, and to the south west of the planned Sokunu pit with a total of 5,932m AC drilling.
Geochemical soil sampling for the first quarter covered two main areas, being the exploration license to the
west of the TSF and the north eastern area of Block 1. Data interpretation is currently ongoing to define the
targets that require follow up.
Ground geophysics IP grids were completed over a portion of Sintroko South and the Tubani Extension
areas for orientation purposes, and over the Sokunu-Kosise gap for targeting purposes. The equipment has
subsequently moved to the Saraya deposit in Block 2.
At Geita in Tanzania, exploration work focused on processing data collected from the Nyankanga Cut 7 infill
drilling programme. A total of 14,000m new core was logged and together with the re-logging of 49,700m of
historic core (which confirmed the previous interpretations), was incorporated into the updated Nyankanga
geological model.
Some 10,000 new density readings were collected across the ore body. The average densities of the
lithologies were confirmed but showed greater variability.
An IP survey over the Area 3 test area has been completed and the data is currently being processed.
Target consolidation of the first 20 regional exploration targets commenced in February with the collation of
Prospect 5 data. The plan is to review all 20 targets by the end of 2010 with the aim of implementing follow
up drilling plans for the five highest potential targets.
Geological mapping on the extension area to Star and Comet commenced in March to assist with delineating
an area for IP survey in June quarter 2010 and compiling revised geological models.
background image
In Mali, drilling continued at Yatela with the aim of extending the life of the Yatela and Alamoutala pits.
Significant drill intersections were drilled at the KW-18 pit area. At Yatela North, the most northern drilling,
located at the base of the Tamboura escarpment, shows mineralisation is open northwards.
The Sadiola Deeps Infill drilling is progressing well and remains on schedule. A review of the geological
models of the Tambali and FN2 areas (north and south of the Sadiola open pit) has been undertaken and
new wireframes are being created accordingly. It is expected that this will lead to an increase in Mineral
Resource.
A detailed ground gravity survey is underway in the south of the Sadiola lease area over a significant gravity
low anomaly identified to the south of Sekekoto SE prospect.
At Navachab in Namibia, 86 holes, totaling 11,255m, were drilled. Off-mine drilling focused on the LS/LM
contact mineralisation at Anomaly 16 Valley target area with 27 RC holes (3,507m) and 5 diamond holes
being drilled (669m). This drilling is probing the down plunge extension of the higher grade portion of
mineralisation at the Valley target.
On-mine exploration drilling focused on the down plunge extension of the NP2 FW veins as well as the main
pit FW vein down plunge extension with 12 diamond holes (3,270m) being completed on the NP2 vein set
and 2 diamond holes (755m) being completed for the main pit FW vein set. 40 RC holes totaling 3,054m
were drilled on the proposed HME waste dump extension to test the area for mineralisation.
At Cripple Creek & Victor in the United States, drilling and studies continue to quantify the potential of the
high grade Mineral Resource. Metallurgical testing of a high grade composite sample is underway as is an
interim Mineral Resource model. Mineral resource delineation drilling commenced in the North Cresson area.
GREENFIELD EXPLORATION
Greenfield exploration activities were undertaken in Australia, the Americas, China, Southeast Asia, Sub-
Saharan Africa and the Middle East & North Africa. A total of 39,280m of diamond, RC and AC drilling was
completed at existing priority targets and used to delineate new targets in Australia and Colombia.
In Australia, on the Tropicana JV, (AngloGold Ashanti 70%, Independence Group 30%) AngloGold Ashanti
is currently undertaking a feasibility study and seeking environmental approvals required for open pit mining.
Exploration is continuing throughout the tenement package and prioritised on targets close to the proposed
gold operation.
The feasibility study is advancing with pit designs complete and mine scheduling in progress. The plant flow
sheet and layout has been finalised. The design of infrastructure including administration and plant facilities
buildings, tailings storage, access roads, village, water supply, and airstrip are nearing completion. The
estimation of feasibility level capital and operating costs is in progress. The company will also consider the
potential impact of the Resource Super Profits Tax being proposed by the Government of Australia effective
1 July 2012.
The Tropicana JV has responded to public submissions received during the eight week public review period
for the Tropicana Gold project environmental impact assessment. The Environmental Protection Authority
(EPA) is currently considering the project. It is anticipated the EPA will provide a recommendation on the
project approval and approval conditions to the Western Australia Minister for the Environment. The approval
and conditions are subject to potential public appeals.
background image
During the quarter the Tropicana JV partners approved additional expenditure of A$8.7m to accelerate
drilling of the Havana Deeps and Boston Shaker Zones, increasing the 2010 Tropicana JV exploration
budget to A$25m.
At Boston Shaker, mineralisation has been intersected over an approximate 600m strike length and is
located approximately 500m northeast of the Tropicana pit. Exploration is targeting Boston Shaker as a
possible additional open pit mining area with further RC and diamond drilling being carried out to determine
the northern and down-dip extents of the mineralisation.
Drilling at Havana Deeps identified the down-dip extensions of the mineralisation, which may have potential
for underground mining. Gold intersections include 35m @ 5.03 g/t Au from 514m (including 22m @ 6.41 g/t
Au from 527m) and 23m @ 3.39 g/t Au from 327m (including 21m @ 3.64 g/t Au from 349m).
At Tumbleweed, 10km north of Tropicana-Havana, aircore drilling returned gold results including 12m @
0.72 g/t Au from 28m. Follow-up reverse circulation and diamond drilling will be completed in the June
quarter.
The approximately 11,400km
2
Viking project, including 6,500km
2
of granted exploration licences, is
southwest of the Tropicana JV within the Albany-Fraser foreland tectonic setting that hosts the Tropicana
deposit. Here surface geochemical sampling continued throughout the quarter.
Greenfields exploration in the Americas in the first quarter focused on early stage exploration in Colombia,
Canada, Brazil, Argentina and the USA. Two projects were drilled in Colombia, both of which will see
continued evaluation throughout 2010. Several new targets were identified in Colombia, Brazil, Argentina
and Canada as a result of AngloGold Ashanti’s 100% greenfields exploration programmes as well as those
with JV partners. AngloGold Ashanti currently has exploration tenements that cover more than 50,000km
2
in
some of the most prospective belts and new frontiers in the Americas.
In China, at the Jinchanggou project, transfer of the remaining exploration licences into the JV is underway.
Following completion of this structural targets identified from trenching will be drill tested. The three new
applications in the Junggar Belt of northeast China are still pending final approval. Military clearance has
been obtained from Provincial level, but due to procedural changes has been passed to Beijing for final
clearance. We expect the licences to be granted in June quarter.
In the Solomon Islands, exploration activities continued at two JV’s with XDM Resources. Exploration
activities included airborne electro-magnetic geophysical surveys, trenching, geological mapping and
geochemical sampling. Spectral and petrographic studies, with remodelling of existing geophysical data,
were also completed to improve understanding of the project areas. Drilling equipment was being mobilised
to high-priority drill targets identified and prioritised during the first quarter work.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, project generation work is ongoing with the development of new conceptual targets
to guide longer term strategies. A number of specific exploration opportunities are currently under
negotiation.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the protracted mining contract renegotiation over the former
Concession 40 area was concluded in March. The areal extent of Exploitation Licences currently held by
OKIMO is 7,443km
2
and approximately 5,900km
2
is to be transferred to the joint venture company, Ashanti
Goldfields Kilo (AGK), of which 86.22% of the share capital is held by AngloGold Ashanti and the remaining
13.78% by OKIMO, a state-owned gold company. The Mongbwalu project is now the subject of a
Pre-feasibility Study (PFS), which is to be completed within 12 months as per the agreement. Geotechnical
and metallurgical drill-testing has been completed for the PFS and a 50,000m combined diamond and
background image
reverse circulation drilling programme is scheduled to commence during the second quarter. Regional
greenfields exploration on the remaining licence area will focus primarily on regional soil sampling,
reconnaissance mapping and drill-testing of key targets.
In Gabon, encouraging results came from work on licences held by Dome Ventures that are the subject of
an earn-in. Drilling on these licences is planned for the third quarter. Data from a recently released regional
geophysical survey that was flown in 2009 as part of the Sysmin project is currently being acquired by
AngloGold Ashanti. This will enable detailed interpretation and aid in target generation work over AngloGold
Ashanti’s 8,000km
2
prospecting licence, as well as the exploration licences that were acquired from Swala.
In the Middle East & North Africa, the strategic alliance between AngloGold Ashanti and Thani Investments
has identified several promising projects in the Arabian Nubian Shield.
In Russia, the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the disposal of the Zoloto Taigi JV property of Veduga to
Alfa Gold, was concluded this quarter and Federal Antimonopoly Service approval was received. Completion
is expected in the second quarter.
ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI/DE BEERS JOINT VENTURE
During the quarter the Launch and Recovery system was commissioned and integrated with the sonic drill
rig. In March, drilling activities started off the west coast of South Island, New Zealand. A total of 249m were
drilled during the quarter. The first assay results are expected early in the third quarter.

AngloGold Ashanti implemented IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” with effect from 1 January 2009. AngloGold Ashanti’s operating segments
are being reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Management team,
collectively identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). As a result of changes in management structure and reporting
from 1 January 2010, the CODM has changed its reportable segments. Navachab which was previously included with Southern Africa now
forms part of Continental Africa and North and South America have been combined into the Americas. Southern Africa has been renamed
to South Africa. Individual members of the Executive Management team are responsible for the geographic regions of the business.
Comparative information has been presented on a consistent basis.

AngloGold Ashanti is subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that may in future
require the group to take corrective action as follows:
(1)   Groundwater pollution – AngloGold Ashanti has identified groundwater contamination plumes at certain of its
operations, which have occurred primarily as a result of seepage from mine residue stockpiles. 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 improvement 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 reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.
(2)   Deep groundwater pollution – The company has identified a flooding and future pollution risk posed by deep
groundwater in the Klerksdorp and Far West Rand gold fields. 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 the Department of
Mineral Resources and affected mining companies are 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 reliable
estimate can be made for the obligation.
(3)   Sales tax on gold deliveries – Mineração Serra Grande S.A. (MSG), received two tax assessments from the State
of Goiás related to payments of sales taxes on gold deliveries for export. AngloGold Ashanti Brasil Mineração
Ltda. manages the operation and its attributable share of the first assessment is approximately $47m. 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. The State of Goiás has appealed to the full board of the State of Goiás tax administrative
council. The second assessment was issued by the State of Goiás in October 2006 on the same grounds as the
first assessment, and the attributable share of the assessment is approximately $29m. The company believes both
assessments are in violation of federal legislation on sales taxes.
(4)   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 company’s attributable share of the assessment is approximately
$9m.
AngloGold subsidiaries in Brazil are involved in various 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.
(5)   Indirect taxes – AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited received a tax assessment for $9m during September 2009
following an audit by the tax authorities related to indirect taxes on various items. Management is of the opinion
that the indirect taxes are not payable and the company has lodged an objection.
(6)   Royalty – As a result of the sale of the interest in the Boddington Gold Mine joint venture 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 commences on 1 July 2010 and is
capped at a total amount of $100m, R744m.
(7)   Insurance claim – On 22 May 2009 an insurable event occurred at Savuka Gold Mine. The amounts due from the
insurers are subject to a formula based on lost production, average gold price and average exchange rates subject
to various excesses and the production and the preparation of supportable data. The insurable amount is not yet
determinable, but management expects that it is likely to exceed $40m, R297m and will be received during the first
half of 2010.
(8)   Provision of surety – The company has provided sureties in favour of a lender on a gold loan facility with its affiliate
Oro Group (Pty) Limited and one of its subsidiaries to a maximum value of $14m, R100m. The suretyship
agreements have a termination notice period of 90 days.

15.    Concentration of risk
There is a concentration of risk in respect of reimbursable value added tax and fuel duties from the Tanzanian
government:
•    Reimbursable value added tax due from the Tanzanian government amounts to $42m at 31 March 2010
(31 December 2009: $36m). The last audited value added tax return was for the period ended 31 January 2010
and at the reporting date the audited amount was $36m. The outstanding amounts at Geita have been discounted
to their present value at a rate of 7.82%.
•    Reimbursable fuel duties from the Tanzanian government amounts to $49m at 31 March 2010 (31 December
2009: $48m). Fuel duty claims are required to be submitted after consumption of the related fuel and are subject to
authorisation by the Customs and Excise authorities. Claims for refund of fuel duties amounting to $45m have
been lodged with the Customs and Excise authorities, whilst claims for refund of $4m have not yet been lodged.
The outstanding amounts have been discounted to their present value at a rate of 7.82%.
16.    Subsequent events
During April 2010 AngloGold Ashanti secured a US$1 billion, four-year unsecured revolving credit facility
(RCF) from its banking syndicate, to refinance its existing unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in
December 2010 and to extend the overall tenor of its statement of financial position. The new RCF, agreed
with a group of 16 banks, replaces a three-year facility of US$1.15 billion that was due to mature in December
2010. The RCF carries a margin of 175 basis points above the London Interbank Offered Rate and carries a
commitment fee of 40 percent of margin.
AngloGold Ashanti Limited also announced the pricing of an offering of $1 billion of 10-year and 30-year
unsecured notes during April 2010. The offering consisted of $700m of 10-year unsecured notes at a coupon
of 5.375%, a premium of 165 basis points over 10 year treasuries and $300m of 30-year unsecured notes at a
coupon of 6.50%, a premium of 200 basis points over treasuries. The issue was significantly oversubscribed.
The offering closed on 28 April 2010. AngloGold Ashanti estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will
be approximately $983m, after deducting discounts and estimated expenses.
17.    Borrowings
AngloGold Ashanti’s borrowings are interest bearing.

Rounding of figures may result in computational discrepancies.
From time to time AngloGold Ashanti may publicly disclose certain "Non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of its financial presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls and
otherwise.
The group utilises certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing its 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 for, the reported operating results or cash flow from
operations 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 other companies
use.
Calculated on the basic weighted average number of ordinary shares.
Headline earnings (loss) adjusted for unrealised non-hedge derivatives, other commodity contracts and fair value adjustments on convertible bonds

In addition, during the June 2008 quarter the hedge book was reduced and non-hedge derivative contracts to the value of $1,1bn was early settled. Following the sale of the investment in Nufcor
International Ltd. (NIL) uranium contracts of 1m pounds were cancelled. In the September 2009 quarter the hedge book was further reduced and contracts to the value of $797m were accelerated and
settled. The impact on earnings after taxation was $916m in 2008 and $758m in 2009.

The unrealised fair value change on the onerous uranium contracts; and
Open positions: The change in fair value from the previous reporting date or date of recognition (if later) through to the current reporting date; and
Adjusted headline earnings (loss) is intended to illustrate earnings after adjusting for:
SA Rand million
Settled positions: The change in fair value from the previous reporting date or date of recognition (if later) through to the date of settlement.
The unrealised fair value change in contracts that are still open at the reporting date, as well as, the unwinding of the historic marked-to-market value of the position settled in the period;
Investment in hedge restructure transaction: During the hedge restructure in December 2004 and March 2005 quarters, $83m and $69m in cash was injected respectively into the hedge book in these
quarters to increase the value of long-dated contracts. The entire investment in long-dated derivatives (certain of which have now matured), for the purposes of the adjustment to earnings, will only be
taken into account when the realised portion of long-dated non-hedge derivatives are settled, and not when the short-term contracts were settled;

Certain statements made in this communication, including, without limitation, those concerning AngloGold Ashanti’s strategy to reduce its gold hedging position including the extent
and effects of the hedge reduction, the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs and other operating results, growth
prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of
AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production projects and completion of acquisitions and dispositions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources, and capital expenditure
and the outcome and consequences of any pending litigation proceedings, contain certain forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, economic
performance and financial condition. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements 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

year ended 31 December 2009, which was distributed to shareholders on 30 March 2010, and the company’s annual report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange
