Financial and Operating Report
OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER
FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW
The first quarter of 2011 is the first period in which the company’s earnings were unencumbered by the hedge
book, which was removed on 7 October 2010. The group now has full exposure to the spot price of gold, which
continued to perform strongly in the face of inflationary fears, macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical
tension. Adjusted headline earnings were $203m, or 53 US cents a share in the seasonally weak production
period, compared with $294m, or 76 US cents the previous quarter. Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders
was $241m, from $56m the previous quarter.
Cash generated from operating activities was strong at $513m. Free cash flow (after all capital expenditure,
finance costs and tax) was $229m and this helped reduce net debt (excluding the mandatory convertible bond)
from $1.3bn at the end of last quarter to $1.1bn at 31 March 2011.
On 14 April 2011, following the end of the quarter, AngloGold Ashanti announced the proposed restructuring of
its black economic empowerment transaction, initially entered into in 2006, to ensure the intended benefits
accrue to its recipients, namely its South African employees, through the Bokamoso ESOP trust and BEE
Partner, Izingwe Holdings.
The total incremental accounting cost to AngloGold Ashanti of the proposed restructuring which is subject to
shareholders’ approval, is around R121m (approximately $18m of which $12m will be recorded in 2011), while
the pro-forma impact on adjusted headline earnings and net asset value per share is 0.4% and 0.2%
respectively. When implemented following shareholder approval, approximately $8m of the accounting cost will
be recorded during the second quarter 2011, with the balance of $4m spread equally in the third and fourth
quarters of 2011. The principal component of the restructured transaction is the proposed reinstatement over the
next three years of a total of some 1.37m E Ordinary shares that have either lapsed or are expected to lapse
without realising the anticipated value for their holders. Also, an additional 48,923 new ordinary shares will be
allotted to employees who qualify for the scheme as of the original cut-off date.
The Board believes that proactively implementing the proposed restructuring will be recognised by government,
AngloGold Ashanti’s employees, Izingwe and society as a whole, as reinforcing the company’s continued
commitment to the spirit of transformation and empowerment as contained in the Mining Charter. Management
believes that the amendment of this transaction has the potential to enhance labour relations within AngloGold
Ashanti’s South African operations and more broadly, reinforce AngloGold Ashanti’s reputation as a good
corporate citizen in South Africa.
OPERATING RESULTS
Production and total cash costs for the three months to 31 March 2011, traditionally the slowest production
quarter for AngloGold Ashanti, were 1.039Moz at $706/oz, compared with 1.148Moz at $672/oz the previous
quarter. The result was affected by torrential rainfall which disrupted production at Sunrise Dam in Australia and
Navachab in Namibia, as well as the seasonally slow restart after the Christmas break in South Africa. Strong
performances were delivered by Cripple Creek & Victor in the U.S., Kopanang in South Africa and Sadiola in
Mali.
Guidance for the first quarter was initially set at 1.04Moz at a total cash cost of $675/oz - $700/oz. This was
adjusted to 1.02Moz, with a consequent impact on costs, on 15 March 2011 following the weather impact on the
Australian operations.
Total cash costs at $706/oz were adversely impacted by higher fuel prices, royalties (on the back of improved
spot prices) and accounting deferred stripping costs.

SAFETY
Tragically, two employees lost their lives during the quarter in separate incidents at Great Noligwa, in South
Africa and at Obuasi, in Ghana. This is especially distressing, given the unblemished record of the previous
quarter. Thorough analysis of those incidents was undertaken and steps taken to prevent their reoccurrence.
Encouragement can be taken from AngloGold Ashanti’s long-term all-injury statistics, which at 10.25 per million
hours worked, were the lowest in the company’s history and bear testimony to the commitment at all levels to
reaching our goal of an injury free workplace, and to the effectiveness of the systemic cultural changes being
made in this business. In March, this broad measure of safety had improved by more than half from its levels of
2007, with South Africa and the Continental Africa regions leading the improvements. While these gains are
encouraging, additional interventions and procedures are being designed and implemented to address specific
factors influencing safety performance in order to drive continued improvements in these statistics.
OPERATING REVIEW
The South Africa operations produced 401,000oz at a total cash cost of $637/oz in the first quarter of 2011,
compared with 476,000oz at a total cash cost of $616/oz the previous quarter.
The performance was impacted
by the slow restart following the annual year-end break by most of the South African workforce, as well as
disruption caused by safety stoppages. At the West Wits operations, production from Mponeng, the company’s
largest mine, declined by 17% to 118,000oz due mainly to lower grades and tonnages, influenced by
underground temperature-related constraints. At neighbouring TauTona, the seasonal factors had a similar
impact on production, compounded by lower yield and a seismic event in February. Production fell 33% to
54,000oz at a total cash cost of $856/oz. At the Vaal River operations, production from Moab Khotsong declined
by 11% to 68,000oz due to lower volumes resulting from the restart after Christmas, safety stoppages during
February and high underground temperatures. This was partially offset by higher yield. Kopanang managed a
3% increase in production despite the Christmas shutdown as yields improved by 13%. Costs declined by 10%
to $589/oz. At Great Noligwa, production dropped 35% to 22,000oz, with safety stoppages and ore-pass
blockages contributing to the decline. Lower grade affected production from the Surface Operations, resulting in
a 8% decline to 48,000oz. Costs were well contained at $540/oz.
The Continental Africa operations produced 363,000oz at a total cash cost of $819/oz in the first quarter of
2011, compared with 374,000oz at a total cash cost of $790/oz the previous quarter.
Geita’s production
increased by 4% to 94,000oz mainly due to higher grades mined from the Nyankanga pit. Higher fuel and labour
charges pushed total cash costs 9% higher to $817/oz. Production from Iduapriem declined 3% as planned to
56,000oz due to the decrease in recovered grade. This was partially offset by improved throughput arising from
increased plant availability and utilisation. Total cash costs improved by 4% to $714/oz. At Obuasi, production
rose 6% to 70,000oz due to a 5% increase in tonnage, achieved through consistency in plant operations and
improved underground equipment availability. The operation’s 7% increase in total cash costs to $1,011/oz
included a $54/oz non-cash charge for inventory movements. At Siguiri, production was 8% lower at 65,000oz
following a reduction in tonnages, which was offset by higher recovered grades. Total cash costs improved by
2% to $675/oz due to reduced spending on external service providers. Mali continued to deliver strong
operational free cashflow to the business. Production from Morila fell 8% to 22,000oz at a total cash cost of
$832/oz. At Yatela, output fell 22% to 7,000oz as less ore was stacked. Higher recovered grade and tonnages
at Sadiola led to a 3% increase in production to 30,000oz. Costs decreased 11% to $699/oz. In Namibia,
Navachab’s production fell to 17,000oz as torrential rainfall hampered access to higher grade areas at the base
of the pit.
The Americas operations produced 203,000oz at a total cash cost of $480/oz in the first quarter of 2011,
compared with 196,000oz at a total cash cost of $465/oz the previous quarter.
Cerro Vanguardia, in Argentina,
posted a 10% decline in production to 45,000oz due to a planned reduction in grade and two scheduled plant
shutdowns. Accelerating inflation in Argentina, particularly evident in higher payroll costs, caused a 22% rise in
total cash costs to $435/oz, though this was partially offset by lower consumption of fuel, explosives and other
consumables. At Cripple Creek & Victor in the U.S., production rose 36% to 57,000oz as planned, due to
stacking ore closer to the liner on the new pad. Cash costs improved 11% to $494/oz. At AngloGold Ashanti
Córrego do Sítio Mineração (AngloGold Ashanti Mineração), production was little changed at 84,000oz, as higher
grades offset lower tonnage caused by continued challenges relating to performance of the underground fleet
and geotechnical challenges in the underground mine. Total cash costs improved by 3% to $444/oz, aided by
higher by-product credits and lower costs on certain consumables. At Serra Grande, production decreased by
background image
11% as planned to 17,000oz, due to lower grades and tonnages. Total cash cost increased 40% from previous
quarter to $711/oz as a consequence of the lower production, local currency appreciation and additional
equipment maintenance.
Australasia produced 72,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,153/oz in the first quarter of 2011, compared with
102,000oz at a total cash cost of $894/oz the previous quarter.
(This figure includes deferred stripping charge of
$73/oz) The flood inundation event during the quarter at Sunrise Dam severely impacted all aspects of the
operation. Laverton, 56km from the mine, had its highest rainfall in February since records were first kept in
1899. Sunrise Dam, meanwhile, recorded rainfall 30% higher than Laverton’s for the month, with the bulk of the
rain falling in only two events. In one 24-hour period alone, more than 150mm fell, resulting in destructive flash
flooding and substantial inflows of water into the open pit and underground. All efforts were directed into
pumping and dewatering during the period.
PROJECTS
AngloGold Ashanti incurred capital expenditure of $249m during the quarter, of which $89m was spent on growth
projects. Of the growth-related capital, $49m was spent in the Americas, $18m was spent in Continental Africa,
$5m in Australasia and $17m in South Africa.
Good progress was made on the Córrego do Sítio project in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state. The team from Sherritt
is preparing to visit the site to commission the autoclave, while the major plant refurbishment was finalised during
April. Purchasing processes for the main pieces of equipment and major civil works are also complete. The ball
mill from the Queiroz plant has been disassembled and trucked to Córrego do Sítio, while the new jaw crusher,
screen and vibrating feeders are already on site. Other imported equipment, including Knelson concentrator and
autoclave lining have already been shipped to Brazil. Ore production was ahead of plan during the period.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, progress was made on the Kibali joint venture, operated by
AngloGold Ashanti’s joint venture partner Randgold Resources. The partners have been involved in detailed
technical discussions around the final project design. Randgold has further provided guidelines on a high-level
integrated project implementation schedule. However, this schedule requires further work. A mining-study
manager was appointed to co-ordinate a full redesign and schedule for the underground mine. Randgold also
provided a milestone schedule which indicates that the project approval is planned for the first quarter in 2012.
The relocation action plan project is progressing well with good support from the community.
Also in the DRC, AngloGold Ashanti completed the feasibility study on the Mongbwalu project in March 2011.
The Mongbwalu project forms part of Ashanti Goldfields Kilo, a DRC company 86.22% owned and managed by
AngloGold Ashanti and 13.78% by SOKIMO, the DRC state-owned mining company. The project is currently
moving into an optimisation phase which is planned to be completed by June 2011 and the project will
be submitted to the AngloGold Ashanti board for project funding approval. The Mineral Resource model is
currently updated with the latest drilling data and is due for completion during the current quarter. A project
manager has been appointed to oversee the upgrade and refurbishment of the existing run-of-river hydro power
station. The project will result in reliable green power to the surrounding district residents and industry.
At the Tropicana project in Australia (AngloGold Ashanti 70% and manager, Independence Group NL 30%), the
contract for construction of the 220km site access road was awarded during the quarter. Major approvals for the
road were obtained and construction has begun. In April, the EPCM contract with Lycopodium was executed and
the open-pit mining contract was nearing completion. Tenders were issued for the long lead-time, major
equipment packages. Detailed engineering design of the plant and infrastructure is underway and will be carried
out in parallel with road construction, while plant construction is scheduled to begin early in 2012. Boston Shaker
feasibility study work during the quarter included metallurgical testing, resource modelling, pit optimisations and
design. It is anticipated that reserves and resources for Boston Shaker will be updated by mid 2011. A two-year
pre-feasibility study on Havana Deeps was approved by the Tropicana JV partners during the quarter and drilling
to support the study began in late March. The study will examine the best options for exploiting the Havana
Deeps mineralisation, including mining using an expanded pit with an underground operation beneath the pit, or
using an underground mine below the current planned pit design.

EXPLORATION
Total exploration expenditure during the first quarter, inclusive of expenditure at equity accounted joint ventures,
was $71m ($26m on brownfield, $25m on greenfield and $20m on pre-feasibility studies), compared with $65m
the previous quarter ($23m on brownfield, $26m on greenfield and $16m on pre-feasibility studies). The following
are highlights from the company’s exploration activities during the quarter. More detail on AngloGold Ashanti’s
exploration programme can be found at www.anglogoldashanti.com.
Greenfield exploration activities were undertaken in six regions (Australia, Americas, China, Southeast Asia, Sub-
Saharan Africa and the Middle East & North Africa) during the first quarter. A total of 35,801m of diamond, RC
and AC drilling was completed at existing priority targets and used to delineate new targets in Australia, Guinea,
Gabon, the DRC, Egypt and the Solomon Islands.
In Australia, in the Tropicana JV (AngloGold Ashanti 70%, Independence Group 30%) regional Greenfields
exploration during the quarter was affected by seasonal, but larger than anticipated, rainfall events in the
Tropicana area and adjacent goldfields. Exploration programs were impacted, but have re-commenced. Regional
geochemical sampling programs recommenced in February at the wholly-owned Viking project, which lies
southwest of the Tropicana JV within the Albany-Fraser foreland tectonic setting that hosts the Tropicana deposit.
Aircore drilling of geochemical anomalies and an airborne magnetic survey are planned for the second quarter.
In late 2010, AngloGold Ashanti entered a farm-in and joint venture agreement with Stellar Resources over the
Coronation Bore and Gairdner projects in the Gawler Craton of South Australia, targeting world-class Iron Oxide
Copper Gold mineralisation. Land access negotiations have progressed with expectations of commencing
geophysical surveys in the second quarter. At the Cornelia Range project, located in central Western Australia,
land access negotiations advanced during the quarter and planning commenced for airborne geophysical
surveying and field reconnaissance. AngloGold Ashanti withdrew from the Saxby JV (NW Queensland) with
Falcon Minerals Limited in February 2011 and has no further interest in the project.
Greenfields exploration in the Americas during the first quarter of 2011 continued focusing on early stage
exploration in Colombia, Canada, USA, Brazil and Argentina. In Canada, joint-venture partner Commander
Resources is preparing for the field season at the Baffin Island Gold Project in Nunavut. In Brazil, at the Falcão
Joint Venture,
100m x 50m spaced infill soil sampling has been extended along strike to cover prospective areas
of the target structure highlighted by the geophysics. To date 11 lines with a total length of 46.1km have been
sampled. Drill testing is scheduled to commence in May. In Colombia, field teams continued rock and soil
sampling and mapping at Quebradona. In March, a diamond drilling program was initiated at the Chaquiro
Project. A total of 694m were drilled in Q1 and drilling at Chaquiro continues. At the Colosa project area, where
AngloGold Ashanti now has four rigs working, a series of strong drill results continue to confirm the company’s
confidence in the ore body.
In the Solomon Islands, exploration activities continued at the Kele and Mase joint ventures with XDM
Resources. Tenement applications associated with two additional joint venture agreements covering the New
Georgia and Vangunu project areas progressed. At Kele, diamond drilling resumed in late February, with 997m of
drilling completed during the quarter. Other work included mechanical trenching totalling 1.71km and
geochemical sampling with work focussed in the Babatia, Tango West, Konga, Arovo and Vulu prospect areas.
Specialist activities included further geophysical, structural and spectral studies of the established mineralised
prospect areas.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, regional exploration continued on Ashanti Goldfields Kilo’s (AGK)
5,487km
2
Kilo project. A 5,000m diamond drilling programme over key targets in the regional Kilo area that
commenced last quarter at Mont Tsi continued and a total of 1,212m over four holes were drilled to test the
mineralisation in and around intrusive bodies. Preliminary results are encouraging with hole MTDD001 returning
an intercept of 23.03m @ 3.08 g/t Au. A follow-up soil sampling grid comprising 1,275 samples has been
completed on the 2010 stream sediment sampling anomaly. Several soil anomalies have been identified so far
and further investigations are underway. Follow-up of regional soil anomalies by trenching, detailed mapping and
sampling is ongoing in the northern and central areas with encouraging results. In Gabon, drilling continued on
the Ndjolé licence being explored in a joint venture with Dome Ventures. To date, a total of 3,000m has been
drilled at the LaMboumi prospect. Extensive sampling has been carried out with 16,000 samples on the Dome JV
licences and 5,200 samples on AngloGold Ashanti’s own exploration licences, with robust anomalies that will be
tested in the coming months. An EM and magnetic survey was flown during the first quarter over the Ndjole

licence and preliminary results show that the prospective lithologies can be mapped in detail below the soil cover
with the EM. This geophysical data will be used to generate further drill targets in the short term and direct the
continuing soil sampling programme.
In Tanzania, a field mapping exercise was undertaken on the Lusahunga licences, some 150km west of Geita
Gold Mine, to test the initial interpretation of airborne geophysical data from a survey completed in 2010. Grab
samples yielded encouraging results up to 11 g/t Au and a follow-up sampling and drilling programme is being
planned for later in the year.
In Guinea, regional exploration work including soil sampling and drilling continued on Blocks 2 and 4 that form
part of the greater Siguiri mine tenement. At the end of the first quarter, a total of 6,763 soil samples have been
collected, including 2,454 from Block 2 and 4,309 from Block 4. The first phase of diamond drilling to better
understand the geological model and mineralisation controls at Saraya (Block 2) has been completed. A total of
2,058m over 8 holes were drilled during the quarter and interpretation of the results is in progress. The first
phase of reconnaissance aircore drilling in Block 3 (Kounkoun) was also completed with a total of 9,840m over
107 holes. The interpretation of the findings is underway and preliminary results are encouraging. A
reconnaissance aircore drilling programme in the Corridor Block was carried out and by the end of the first phase
a total of 6,775m over 96 holes had been drilled.
Greenfields exploration in the Middle East and North Africa region is being undertaken by Thani Ashanti; a
50:50 Strategic Alliance between AngloGold Ashanti and Thani Investments. During the first quarter, 1,822m of
drilling was completed and results have been received from three of the nine holes. The results include:
12m @ 3.6 g/t Au from 178m;
14m @ 2.9 g/t Au from 193m;
6m @ 4.3 g/t Au from 155m;
8m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 168m;
1m @ 15.7 g/t Au from 133m;
6m @ 1.8 g/t Au from 175m.
Hutite is an historical underground gold mine, which ceased operations in 1952. While historical production
figures are unknown, the deposit has many characteristics of other orogenic gold deposits throughout the world.
Mineralisation, including significant visible gold, has been defined by drilling over a strike length of 1.5km and
remains open along strike and at depth. A second rig is scheduled to start drilling in April.
In Eritrea, the 10,000 line km airborne EM, magnetic and radiometric survey was completed at the Kerkasha and
Akordat North exploration licences. The preliminary results of this survey are currently being interpreted and
surface geochemical programmes have commenced.
Thani Ashanti signed a Heads of Terms with Stratex International in 2010 signed a Joint Venture Agreement in
April 2011. The JV is for 11 exploration licences in the Afar region of Ethiopia and Djibouti and will explore for
low-sulphidation, bonanza epithermal deposits. As part of this agreement, Thani Ashanti has a minimum
exploration commitment of US$1M, and can earn 51% interest in the licences by spending US$3M. In addition,
Thani Ashanti has completed a US$0.5M private placement into Stratex International. Encouraging surface
sample results from the Megenta prospect in Ethiopia will be followed up with 3,000m drill programme in the
second quarter. In addition, the Asal and Dimoli Khan ELs in Djibouti have returned positive rock chip assays,
with eight of eighteen samples from Asal assaying between 0.22 – 3.08 g/t Au.
OUTLOOK
Second quarter production is expected to be around 1.09Moz. Given stronger, volatile currencies and fuel prices,
AngloGold Ashanti is guiding second-quarter total cash costs at $760/oz (R6.75/$, Brent crude $120/bl) and
equivalent Australian dollar and Brazilian real rates. The quarter-on-quarter increase is influenced by stronger
local currencies, higher fuel prices and electricity costs. The above numbers include accounting for deferred
stripping charges at $14/oz.

Review of the Gold Market
Gold price movement and investment markets
Gold price data
The gold price traded as low as $1,308/oz at the beginning of the year as investors moved out of safe-haven
holdings into riskier assets, before recovering steadily to current near-record levels. Civil unrest in the Middle
East and North Africa unnerved oil markets and resulted in Brent Crude trading well above the key
$100/barrel, with the prospects of continued elevated prices while a speedy resolution of the Libyan conflict
looks increasingly unlikely. The consequences of higher oil prices and concomitant inflationary implications
have raised questions about the sustainability of the nascent global economic recovery. Widespread civil
unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, continued debt concerns among European Union members and
growing uncertainty over the United States long-term macroeconomic outlook – underscored by Standard &
Poor’s surprise 18 April 2011 downgrade of the outlook on US debt to `negative’ have propelled the gold
price to new record levels above $1,500/oz.
Investment demand
Despite the rebound in the gold price from February onwards, total ETF investment holdings still reflect a net
redemption of 1.72Moz, or 2.5% of the gross holdings over the quarter, relative to the start of the year. Gross
holdings at the end of the first quarter were 66.81Moz or $95.3bn at $1,426/oz. Much of the ETF sell-off in
January was attributed to a rebalancing of portfolios as investors banked gains resulting from the 30% rise in
the gold price in 2010. Global sales of bar and coin in 2010 amounted to some 60% of investment demand,
with ETFs accounting for 20%. It is also worth noting that the rate of bar and coin outflows in the March
quarter is likely to have been less than ETF sales as coins and bars are not as easy to sell as ETFs. The
COMEX positioning, whilst traditionally more volatile, also showed a net decrease over the quarter. Having
started at 28Moz net long, it finished 6% lower at 26.3Moz net long. In India, gold medallion and bar sales for
the first quarter were higher than the same period last year. The Indian ETF market continued to grow.
During the quarter under review, new gold mutual funds were launched to tap mass market demand for gold
ETFs. China experienced another stellar quarter on the investment front, with an estimated year-on-year
increase of some 50%. In the US, coin and bar demand remained strong, though with no anecdotal evidence
of a repeat in coin minting shortfalls.
Official sector
The World Gold Council released a report during the quarter which confirmed widespread expectations that
the official sector was a net purchaser of gold in 2010. This marks the first time since 1998 that the sector
has contributed to demand, rather than being a significant source of supply. Continuing sovereign debt
concerns in the Eurozone are likely to keep bullion in central banks vaults, while the trend of emerging
nations bolstering gold reserves is also expected to continue.
Jewellery sales
India’s gold resurgence continued in the first quarter of 2011 as January and February import figures
reflected a 28% increase in volume terms over the same period last year. After a record 2010, consumption
still remained robust at the beginning of the year due to a drop in gold prices and relative stability during the
beginning of the auspicious period. An interesting trend has developed in India, with consumers advancing
money to retailers to book prices when there is a significant drop. As a result of this trend, retailers are flush
with welcome working capital. A further development saw significant demand for bars and coins, not for
investment but to be converted into jewellery during the marriage season. China experienced its strongest
quarter for gold jewellery demand in five years with an estimated 12% to 15% year-on-year increase.
Remarkably, demand remained very strong following the Chinese New Year period which traditionally sees a
dramatic slow down in demand. Eighteen-carat gold jewellery once again failed to keep pace with pure gold,
but still registered strong growth of about 8%. During the first quarter, the beleaguered US market continued
to build upon its improved fourth-quarter performance, with many retailers expressing some optimism for the
future. A 4% increase in gold jewellery demand is expected in the quarter under review. The low-end gold
market has been severely damaged by the twin blows recession and high gold prices, but the higher-end
market continues to grow.

Includes capital commitments relating to equity accounted joint ventures.
Liquidity and capital resources
To service the above 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.

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
background image
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 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
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 C rrego do
Sit o Mineração S.A. manages the operation and its attributable share of the first assessment is approximately
$59m. 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 company’s attributable share of the assessment is approximately
$36m. 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 $10m.
AngloGold Ashanti 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 $29m.
(5)      Indirect taxes – AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited received a tax assessment for $11m during September 2009
in respect of 2006, 2007 and 2008 tax years, 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)     Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act (ODMWA) litigation – The case of Mr Thembekile Mankayi was
heard in the High Court of South Africa in June 2008, and an appeal heard in the Supreme Court of Appeals in
2010. In both instances judgement was awarded in favour of AngloGold Ashanti Limited. A further appeal that
was lodged by Mr Mankayi was heard in the Constitutional Court in 2010. Judgement in the Constitutional Court
was handed down on 3 March 2011.
Following the judgement, Mr Mankayi’s executor may proceed with his case in the High Court. This will comprise,
amongst others, providing evidence showing that Mr Mankayi contracted silicosis as a result of negligent conduct
on the part of AngloGold Ashanti.
The company will defend the case and any subsequent claims on their merits. Should other individuals or groups
lodge similar claims, these too would be defended by the company and adjudicated by the Courts on their merits.
In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a possible liability, no reliable
estimate can be made for this possible obligation.
(7)     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 commenced on 1 July 2010 and
is capped at a total amount of $100m, R677m. Royalties of $6m, R49m were received during the quarter.
(8)     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 inflation adjustment). Where the average
monthly rand price of gold does not exceed R180,000/kg (subject to 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 of $1m, R8m were received during the quarter.
(9)     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 $15m, 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 recoverable value added tax and fuel duties from the Tanzanian
government:
Recoverable value added tax due from the Tanzanian government amounts to $47m at 31 March 2011
(31 December 2010: $49m). The last audited value added tax return was for the period ended 31 October 2010
and at the reporting date the audited amount was $47m. The outstanding amounts at Geita have been
discounted to their present value at a rate of 7.82%.
Recoverable fuel duties from the Tanzanian government amounts to $67m at 31 March 2011 (31 December
2010: $62m). 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 the refund of fuel duties amounting to $52m
have been lodged with the Customs and Excise authorities which are still outstanding, whilst claims for a refund
of $15m have not yet been submitted. The amounts outstanding have been discounted to their present value at a
rate of 7.82%.
16.     Subsequent events
On 14 April 2011, AngloGold Ashanti Limited, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), Solidarity, The Union
(UASA), Izingwe Holdings (Proprietary) Limited and the Bokamoso ESOP Board of Trustees announced the
restructuring of the empowerment transactions concluded respectively between the company and the unions, and
the company and Izingwe in 2006.
This restructuring was motivated by the fact that share price performance since the onset of the 2008 global
financial crisis led to a situation where the first two tranches of E shares (otherwise known to participants as loan
shares), which operate essentially as share appreciation rights, vested and lapsed at no additional value to
Bokamoso ESOP beneficiaries and Izingwe.
In order to remedy this situation in a manner that would ensure an element of value accruing to participants, though
at a reasonable incremental cost to AngloGold Ashanti shareholders, the scheme will be restructured as follows:
all lapsed loan shares that vested without value will be reinstated;
the strike (base) price will be fixed at R320 per share for the Bokamoso ESOP and R330 for Izingwe;
the notional interest charge will fall away;
as previously, 50% of any dividends declared will be used to reduce the strike price;
as previously, the remaining 50% is paid directly to participants under the empowerment transaction; and
the life span of the scheme will be extended by an additional one year, the last vesting being in 2014, instead
of 2013. A minimum payout on vesting of the E shares has been set at R40 each and a maximum payout of
R70 each per E Share for Izingwe and R90 each for members of the Bokamoso ESOP (i.e. employees), plus
the impact of the 50% of dividend flow. While the floor price provides certainty to all beneficiaries of the
empowerment transactions, the creation of a ceiling serves to limit the cost to AngloGold Ashanti and its
shareholders
The total incremental accounting cost to AngloGold Ashanti of the proposed restructuring of the BEE Transaction
which was subject to shareholders’ approval, is around R121m (approximately $18m) over the total vesting period
of the scheme, while the pro-forma impact on adjusted headline earnings and net asset value per share is 0.4%
and 0.2% respectively.
17.     Borrowings
AngloGold Ashanti’s borrowings are interest bearing.
18.     Announcements
Retirement of Deputy Chairman: Dr T J Motlatsi retired from the board of AngloGold Ashanti, effective from
17 February 2011.
Mankayi case – Constitutional Court ruling: On 3 March 2011, AngloGold Ashanti noted the decision of the
Constitutional Court to grant Mr Mankayi leave to appeal against the decision of the Supreme Court of Appeal,
which itself upheld the June 2008 Johannesburg High Court decision that employees who qualify for benefits in
respect of the Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act (ODMWA) may not, in addition, lodge civil claims
against their employers in respect of their relevant conditions.
The company is still studying the details of the judgment and its initial impression is that should the Executor of
Mr Mankayi’s estate wish to pursue his claim, he or she will now need to return to the High Court to continue with
the litigation action. AngloGold Ashanti will defend the case on its merits. Should other individuals lodge similar
claims, these too would ultimately be defended by the company and judged on their merits.
background image
Sunrise Dam, Australia: On 15 March 2011, AngloGold Ashanti announced that its Sunrise Dam Gold Mine,
situated 56km south of Laverton in Western Australia, had been impacted by unprecedented heavy rains over the
prior month. While open pit mining had resumed, underground mining remained suspended for safety reasons, with
the expectation that Sunrise Dam would achieve normal mining rates in the June Quarter. AngloGold Ashanti was
therefore expecting that first quarter guidance of 1.04Moz would be negatively impacted by approximately 20,000oz
with a consequential impact on total cash costs.
Proposed restructuring of the Black Economic Empowerment share ownership transaction: On 14 April 2011
AngloGold Ashanti announced that it was proposing to restructure its Black Economic Empowerment (BEE share
ownership transaction first announced in 2006, to ensure the intended benefits will accrue to its recipients, namely
its South African employees, through the Bokamoso ESOP trust and BEE Partner, Izingwe Holdings (Proprietary)
Limited (Izingwe) (an investment company controlled by black investors) (proposed restructuring). See Note 16.
19.     Dividend
Final Dividend No. 109 of 80 South African cents or 7.1181 UK pence or 17.38 cedis per ordinary share was paid to
registered shareholders on 18 March 2011, while a dividend of 2.275 Australian cents per CHESS Depositary
Interest (CDI) was paid on the same day. On 21 March 2011, holders of Ghanaian Depositary Shares (GhDSs)
were paid 0.1738 cedis per GhDS. Each CDI represents one-fifth of an ordinary share, and 100 GhDSs represents
one ordinary share. A dividend of 11.2599 US cents per American Depositary Share (ADS) was paid to holders of
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on 28 March 2011. Each ADS represents one ordinary share.
Final Dividend No. E9 of 40 South African cents was paid to holders of E ordinary shares on 18 March 2011, being
those employees participating in the Bokamoso ESOP and Izingwe Holdings (Proprietary) Limited.

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 were still open at reporting dates, 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;
Calculated on the basic weighted average number of ordinary shares.
From time to time AngloGold Ashanti Limited may publicly disclose certain "Non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of its financial presentations, earnings releases, earnings
conference calls and otherwise.
The group uses certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing the 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 to, 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 that other companies use.
During 2010 the Group completed the elimination of its hedge book which has resulted in full exposure to prevailing spot gold prices.

Certain statements made in this communication, including, without limitation, those concerning 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 the completion of announced mergers and acquisitions transactions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity, capital
resources and capital expenditure and the outcome and consequences of any litigation or regulatory proceedings and AngloGold Ashanti’s Project One performance targets , 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 other factors, changes in economic and market conditions, success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other
government actions, including environmental approvals and actions, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. For a discussion of certain of
these and other factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2009, which was distributed to shareholders on 30 March 2010. 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. The company’s annual report on Form 20-F was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United
States on April 19, 2010 and was amended on May 18, 2010. AngloGold Ashanti undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after today’s date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 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 contains 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 on the main page of its website at www.anglogoldashanti.com and under the “Investors” tab on the main
page. This information is updated regularly. Investors should visit this website to obtain important information about AngloGold Ashanti.
