NEWS RELEASE
AngloGold Ashanti Provides Updates on DRC Mining Code Discussions


(PRES RELEASE) -- On Wednesday the 7 March 2018, a meeting took place between His
th
Excellency President Joseph KABILA KABANGE of the Democratic Republic of Congo and
representatives of the mining industries at their request.

The purpose of the meeting was to clarify certain aspects of the new Mining Code adopted by the two
chambers of the Congolese parliament, which will be promulgated soon.

The representatives of the mining industry raised questions pertaining to their operations. The
President gave assurances that the questions raised will be resolved through discussions with the
Government, in the mining regulation to be adopted by the Government.

After a constructive debate, the mining operators agreed to continue discussions with the Government
on issues existing in the current agreement once the new Mining Code has been signed into law.

AngloGold Ashanti is in full support of Randgold Resources, our partner and the operator in the Kibali
joint venture. Randgold Resources will continue the engagement with DRC Government
representatives next week.
