Financial and Operating Report
OVERVIEW FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER
FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW
ANNUAL REVIEW
Full-year adjusted headline earnings  
1
increased 65% to a record $1.3bn, or 336 US cents per share, from $787m, or
212 US cents per share in 2010. Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders rose approximately twentyfold to $1.55bn
for the full-year, compared with $76m in 2010. Cash flow generated from operating activities
1
rose to $2.66bn from
$1.67bn the previous year. Free cash flow, after all capital expenditure, finance costs and tax, before dividends, was
$833m.
The strong performance in earnings and cash flow was aided by the continued implementation of the Project ONE
business improvement initiative across all operating sites, as well as the removal of the hedge book which gave
AngloGold Ashanti full exposure to the higher gold price.
Total capital expenditure for 2011, the first year of intensive investment in AngloGold Ashanti’s medium-term growth
plan, was $1.53bn compared with guidance of $1.6bn. Improved cash flow helped more than halve net debt to $610m at
the end of the year, from $1.288bn at the end of 2010.
Production in 2011 declined 4% to 4.33Moz, in line with the revised annual guidance issued by the company in
November. Total cash costs rose 14% from 2010 to $728/oz, better than the revised guidance of $735/oz to $745/oz.
Reserves
2
improved by 6% or 4.4Moz to end the year at 75.6Moz, after accounting for depletion. Resources
3
increased
by 5% to 230.9Moz after depletion. These reserves will fill the pipeline for growth to between 5.4Moz and 5.6Moz, from a
combination of greenfields and brownfields projects in the Americas, Australasia and Continental Africa.
“With record adjusted headline earnings of $1.3bn and stronger cash flow than we’ve ever seen, we’ve laid a strong
foundation on which to grow the business,” Chief Executive Officer Mark Cutifani said. “Our focus now is on pushing our
projects through the pipeline and ensuring continued strong returns for our shareholders.”
FOURTH-QUARTER REVIEW
Strong performances from key assets within the Continental Africa portfolio, good cost containment in South Africa, along
with full exposure to a spot gold price and weaker producer currencies, drove robust fourth-quarter earnings and cash-
flow generation. As indicated in the third-quarter results presentation in November, fourth-quarter Adjusted Headline
Earnings (AHE)
1
was adversely impacted by year-end accounting adjustments such as environmental rehabilitation,
direct and indirect taxes and inventory provisions.
AHE
1
were $295m, or 76 US cents a share in the three months to 31 December 2011. This earnings figure includes the
$105m after tax adverse impact of the group environmental provisions. Fourth quarter’s AHE
1
were also adversely
impacted by a lower gold price, higher cash costs and relatively higher levels of unsold gold at the quarter-end. AHE
1
in
the fourth quarter of 2010 was $294m, or 76 US cents a share, while AHE
1
for the third quarter of 2011 was $457m, or
118 US cents per share, which was boosted by a $70m once-off deferred tax credit.
Fourth quarter net earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders were $385m, a sevenfold increase from the fourth
quarter of 2010. This includes the benefit of the impairment reversal at Geita ($95m after tax). Impairments are included
in net profit but are excluded from headline earnings.
Cash flow generated from operating activities rose to $644m during the fourth quarter compared with an outflow of
$382m a year earlier, when the final tranche of the hedge book was eliminated. Free cash flow, after all capital
expenditure, finance costs and tax, before dividends, was $
97m. These robust inflows helped further strengthen the
group’s balance sheet. Net debt (excluding the mandatory convertible bond) was further reduced by $10m, to $610m,
despite a 29% increase in capital spending from the previous quarter to $525m and higher tax payments.
DIVIDEND
The board of directors is pleased to announce a dividend of 200 South African cents for the fourth quarter. This takes the
annual dividends declared to 380 South African cents, 162% more than the 145 South African cents declared in 2010.
The company will continue to seek quarterly dividends in line with improved operating and financial performance,
provided there is no threat to its investment-grade-credit rating and there is adequate allowance for funding its growth
projects.

OPERATING RESULTS
Production for the three months to 31 December 2011 was 1.114Moz at a total cash cost of $762/oz. This compares with
guidance of 1.11Moz at $790/oz and the previous quarter’s production of 1.092Moz at $737/oz. The fourth quarter’s
result was bolstered by another solid performance from Geita in Tanzania, where the turnaround of the past 18 months
continued and Obuasi, in Ghana, where the taskforce appointed in 2010, continued to make progress in improving the
operation’s performance. There were also strong performances at Mponeng, TauTona, Sunrise Dam and Serra Grande.
SAFETY
Tragically, three fatalities were recorded at the Kopanang mine during the quarter, while two contractors passed away
following accidents at Obuasi in Ghana and another at the Gramalote project in Colombia. This result undermines much
of the progress made earlier in the year and has led the global safety team to develop new major incident risk protocols
which set out operating requirements designed to minimise the likelihood of fatalities and high-severity incidents. These
protocols will be rolled out in the second quarter of 2012 as part of a crucial effort to further improve the group’s safety
performance. This initiative will build on the significant improvements made in recent years, with the all accident
frequency rate (AIFR) – the broadest measure of safety performance – ending 2011 at a company record of 9.76 per
million hours worked, 15% better than the 2010 level. This is the first time the rate has dropped below 10. The
Continental Africa region was the star performer in the group in 2011, with an AIFR of 3.03 per million hours worked, a
42% improvement on the previous year.
OPERATING REVIEW
The South African operations produced 398,000oz at a total cash cost of $696/oz in the three months through
31 December 2011 compared with 394,000oz at a total cash cost of $757/oz the previous quarter. The marginal
production increase over the previous quarter, which was affected by an industry-wide strike, was achieved despite
extensive disruption from Section 54 safety stoppages which impacted the Vaal River operations in particular. The
improvement in costs resulted from the higher production, normalisation of power tariffs following the higher-cost winter
period, a higher by-product contribution and the weaker rand versus the dollar. At the West Wits Operations,
Mponeng’s production increased by 18% to 138,000oz on a normalised operating schedule, while total cash costs
improved by 12% to $518/oz. At neighbouring TauTona, output rose 24% to 72,000oz and total cash costs declined by
24% to $692/oz. The previous quarter’s performance had been impacted by the strike, as well increased seismicity. At
the Vaal River Operations, operational difficulties in high-grade areas at Great Noligwa contributed to a 20% drop in
production to 20,000oz, compared with the third quarter. The increase in total cash costs, however, was contained at 2%,
rising to $1,280/oz. Moab Khotsong’s costs rose 15% from the previous quarter to $825/oz following a 27% drop in gold
production to 52,000oz given the increased number of safety stoppages imposed by the state mine inspector and also
the increased complexity of the geology at the mine. Kopanang, which also suffered the safety-related stoppages,
experienced a 15% decline in production. Total cash cost increase was contained at 9% to $766/oz, assisted by a
favourable by-product contribution. The Surface Operations achieved a 16% increase in production to 37,000oz following
fewer interruptions and higher grades. Unit cash costs improved by 19% to $714/oz, despite increased maintenance to
operational infrastructure during the quarter. Uranium production was marginally down from the previous quarter to
316,000lbs.
The Continental Africa operations produced 419,000oz at a total cash cost of $799/oz in the fourth quarter of 2011,
compared with 411,000z at a total cash cost of $739/oz the previous quarter. Geita delivered another strong quarter,
though production was 3% lower at 144,000oz following repairs to the SAG Mill gearbox. This was, however, partially
offset by a 12% increase in recovered grade. Total cash costs increased by 3% to $486/oz. At Obuasi, in Ghana,
production was 4% higher at 81,000oz due to availability of higher-grade ore blocks and increased equipment availability
underground. Total cash costs were 8% higher at $896/oz because of higher labour costs at the Ghana operations, year-
end obsolete consumable stock write-offs and increased use of engineering spares consumption in line with the
preventative maintenance cycle. At Iduapriem, production increased by 4% to 50,000oz as a result of access to higher
grade ore, which was in turn partly offset by a lower tonnage throughput following reduced plant availability. Total cash
costs increased by 12% to $968/oz mainly due to the increased payroll costs and stock write-offs. At Siguiri, in Guinea,
production was 11% higher at 62,000oz as tonnage throughput increased following efficiencies flowing from Project ONE
and improved weather conditions. Total cash costs rose 10% to $1,047/oz after wage settlements during the period and
adjustments to year-end stocks. At Morila, in Mali, higher recovered grades from stockpiles led to a 17% increase in
production and a 6% improvement in costs. At Sadiola, lower grades caused a 10% decline in production to 28,000oz
while total cash costs increased by 28% to $1,015/oz following the lower output and increased contractor rates. Higher
grades and throughout, following improved plant availability on the back of Project ONE’s implementation, helped a 19%
rise in production at Navachab, in Namibia, to 19,000oz. Total cash costs improved 16% to $930/oz.
The Americas operations produced 234,000oz at a total cash cost of $612oz in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared
with 238,000oz at a total cash cost of $524/oz the previous quarter. At AngloGold Ashanti Brasil Mineração, production
declined by 10% to 91,000oz from the previous quarter at 101,000oz after a slight delay in commissioning of the
pressure oxidation circuit, though this was partly offset by better-than-anticipated production from the Lamego unit.
background image
Total cash costs rose 8% to $597/oz given general inflationary pressure, higher maintenance costs, and lower by-product
credit. At Serra Grande, attributable production was 40% higher at 21,000oz given higher grades. Total cash costs
decreased 32% to $626/oz following the higher output and a weaker Brazilian real against the dollar. Cerro Vanguardia´s
gold production was marginally lower at 51,000oz due mainly to lower feed grade, though this was partially offset by
higher treated tonnes. The increased feed and an improvement in recovered grade resulted in an 84% increase in silver
production to 874,400oz. The impact on total cash costs, however, was muted given shipment schedules that straddled
the quarter end. Total cash cost rose 95% to $577/oz given the resultant drop in contribution from silver by-product
credits, as well as higher costs for catering and transportations contractors, consumption of spare parts and building
maintenance. At Cripple Creek & Victor, gold production rose 3% from the previous quarter to 71,000oz as ore continued
to be placed on newer sections of the heap leach pad, closer to liner. Total cash cost increased by 15% to $643/oz
mainly due to lower grades mined and placed on the pad.
In Australasia, production from Sunrise Dam recovered to 63,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,388/oz, compared with
50,000oz at $1,568/oz the previous quarter. Whilst the pit-wall failure from the first quarter continued to impact
operations, open-pit mining recommenced with the completion of the ramp into the open-pit operating area. A total of
347m of underground capital development and 1,926m of operational development were completed during the quarter.
PROJECTS
AngloGold Ashanti incurred capital expenditure of $525m (including joint ventures) during the quarter, of which $179m
was spent on growth projects. Of the growth-related capital, $71m was spent in the Americas, $32m was spent in
Continental Africa, $27m in Australasia and $49m in South Africa.
Phase 2 of Moab Khotsong’s Zaaiplaats project, with a capital cost of $395m (real) was approved by the board as was
the Below 120 CLR project at Mponeng, at a capital cost of $416m (real). These are low-risk, high return projects that
extend the life of these two cornerstone mines in South Africa.
Significant progress continued at the Kibali joint venture in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a 19Moz mineral
resource which will become the country’s largest gold mine. AngloGold Ashanti and Randgold Resources each own a
45% stake in Kibali while Sokimo, the state-owned gold company, owns the remainder. AngloGold Ashanti’s board is
expected to receive the final feasibility document for approval in the coming months, though in the meantime funding will
continue for critical path items and work in order to maintain the project timeline.
The first phase of Kibali’s development will cover relocation of local communities, construction of the metallurgical facility,
one hydropower station and back-up thermal power facility, the tailings storage facility, open pit mining and all shared
infrastructure, with initial production targeted from around the end of 2013. The second phase of the capital programme,
which will run concurrently with Phase 1, is focused primarily on underground development and includes a twin decline
and vertical shaft system as well as three hydropower stations. This is expected to bring the underground into first
production by the end of 2014, with steady state production targeted for the end of 2015.
During the fourth quarter, the project progressed in line with the project development schedule. The Relocation Action
Plan at the site continued with 250 families from the Chauffeur village, the first of 14 villages identified in the project plan,
being resettled. At the end of December 2011, 499 houses had been built and construction of the Catholic Church
complex commenced. The detailed design of the metallurgical process facility, all shared service facilities, the tailings
storage facility and general mine infrastructure were finalised in the quarter. Detailed mine design continued and open-pit
mining tenders were in adjudication. All major long-lead items, including the winder, mills, turbines and open-pit mining
equipment were secured. Grade control drilling in the open-pit commenced and opening of the pit was scheduled for the
end of the first quarter, 2012. Earth moving and civil engineering contract packages were put out to tender and a shortlist
of contractors identified.
The optimised feasibility study for the Mongbwalu project, in which AngloGold Ashanti holds an 86.22% interest, is
complete and will be presented to the joint venture board for approval next month. In the meantime, funding for critical-
path items has continued to maintain the schedule for first production in 2014. Progress continued at a good pace
during the quarter, with upgrading of staff accommodation and construction of the Bunia-Mongbwalu road. The project,
AngloGold Ashanti’s beachhead in the highly prospective Kilo goldbelt of the north eastern DRC, comprises 18
exploitation tenements and spans roughly 5,500km2. Active green- and brownfield exploration continues in the area.
Córrego do Sítio, in Brazil, the most advanced of AngloGold Ashanti’s projects currently in development, continued its
mine ramp-up phase according to an updated plan. Portal II, the second entrance to the underground mine, was
connected to surface in December, while haulage from this ramp commenced in January. The autoclave circuit was also
commissioned in January. The business process framework component of Project ONE was launched at the
metallurgical plant in November and reached “stabilisation” phase during December in the heavy mechanized equipment

The Tropicana Gold Project in Australia (AngloGold Ashanti 70% and manager, Independence Group NL 30%)
remained on schedule to commence gold production in the December 2013 quarter. The 220km access road neared
completion and earthworks for the plant site, internal access roads and the airstrip continued. Fabrication of the
permanent village buildings commenced and the village installation contract was awarded. All key procurement packages
have been issued. The concrete contract was awarded and tenders were called for the structural, mechanical and piping
contract. Secondary statutory approvals are on track. The operating management team has been formed, with all key
positions now in role. A new Mineral Resource estimate was completed for Tropicana with a 1.05Moz increase bringing
the total resource to 6.41Moz (100% basis). The increase is attributable to drilling in the Havana Deeps area. The full
details of the updated Mineral Resource estimate were provided in an announcement on 29 November 2011. Exploration
drilling continued at Havana Deeps and in the area between Tropicana and Havana. A total of 948m RC and 10,317m
diamond drilling was completed.
During the fourth quarter, an Australian dollar 600m revolving credit facility was obtained from a syndicate of banks to
fund the requirements of the Tropicana project. This new facility will mature in December 2015.
EXPLORATION
Total exploration expenditure during the fourth quarter, inclusive of expenditure at equity accounted joint ventures, was
$115m ($37m on brownfield, $43m on greenfield and $35m on pre-feasibility studies), compared with $96m the previous
quarter ($35m on brownfield, $33m on greenfield and $28m 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
.
At Geita, in Tanzania, 11,431m of drilling were completed during the quarter focusing on Mineral Resource infill drilling
around the mining operations and more regional exploration to support an Ore Reserve growth strategy. Mineral Resource
upgrade-drilling was carried out on the Nyankanga deposit at the Block 1, Block 2, Cut 7 and Cut 8 with reconnaissance
drilling completed over Mzingama and Prospect 30. In Nyankanga Block 2, borehole NYDD0303 intersected 30.5m
@10.9g/t Au from 289m with the mineralisation hosted in a well silicified banded iron formation with abundant fine grained,
disseminated pyrite and dolomite contained within the main shear. This intercept and others continue to prove the down dip
continuity of gold mineralisation beyond the open-pit shell and indicate significant potential for underground mining.
Intensive geological and structural pit wall mapping was undertaken in Geita Hill Cut 1 during the quarter by the GGM- JCU
research team. An IP survey was continued at Star & Comet covering a total distance of 19.65km. A ground magnetic
survey was commenced within Kukuluma, Area 3 west and Matandani.
At Siguiri in Guinea, a total of 51,821m of drilling was completed. RC infill drilling focused on two main projects, with the aim
of upgrading oxide Mineral Resources in Sokunu, Sokunu West and Kozan Central West. Results to date are encouraging.
The quarter saw the discovery, on a previously unexplored trend, of a potential oxide Mineral Resource situated 2km west
of the processing plant. Drilling of the Silakoro prospect provided the following significant drilling results: SIAC045 7.07m @
3.79g/t Au from 13m; SKAC1834 12.6m @ 2.08g/t Au from 63m; SKAC1887 7.70m @ 4.48g/t Au from 10m; SIAC020
13.8m @ 5.64g/t AU from 29m.
The greenfields team continued its geochemical soil sampling programme in Guinea during the quarter in Blocks 2, 3 and 4.
Resource delineation and definition drilling commenced at Saraya during the quarter with 1,695m of reverse circulation
drilling completed. Some of the pending assays from Saraya Main and Saraya South were received during the quarter.
Highlights include SARC288: 15m at 3.23g/t Au from 56m; SARC284: 8m at 3.69g/t Au from 14m (including 4m @ 6.67g/t
Au from 16m); SARC260: 7m @ 2.3g/t Au from 62m; SARCDD017: 9m @ 2.2g/t Au from 64m; SARC280: 4m @ 17.01g/t
Au from 66m); SARC262 19m @ 3.02g/t Au from 80m; SARC259: 9m @ 2.06g/t Au from 114m.
AC reconnaissance drilling commenced at Koun Koun South extensions (Block 3); 108 holes for 8,020m have been
completed during the quarter (phase 3). Delineation diamond drilling continued at Koun Koun during the quarter; 5 holes
totalling 1,429m were completed, assay results are pending. Assay results reported this quarter from phase 2
reconnaissance drilling have returned encouraging intersections in the saprolite and oxide zones, which include: KKRC029:
20m @ 1.14g/t Au from 9m; KKRC031: 18m @ 2.23g/t Au from 29m; KKRC035: 20m @ 1.43g/t Au from 29m; KKAC116:
16m @ 2.12g/t Au from 106m and; KKAC120: 27m @ 3.21g/t Au from 87m.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, regional exploration continued on the 5,487km
2
Kilo project. Greenfield
exploration activities continued on five projects Lodjo, Issuru, Dala, Alosi Camp 3 and Petsi. An IP survey was completed for
Camp 3 (Kilo Central) while diamond drilling continued at Pili Pili (Pluto North- Issuru). Trenching and soil sampling
continued in Kilo Central and Kilo North.
At Obuasi in Ghana, Below 50 Level exploration drilling achieved 930m and surface exploration continued at the
Anyankyerim deposit with 3,329m drilled. Results to date are positive. A joint Obuasi-UWA-CET 3 year research project
commenced during the quarter, with the primary deliverable an integrated 4D model for controls on geometry of
mineralisation within the Obuasi system. The study is expected to enhance delineation of the Obuasi deeps Mineral
Resource, exploration strategies in the Ashanti belt and in the Birimian.

Greenfields exploration in the Middle East & North Africa region is being undertaken by the Thani Ashanti strategic Alliance.
Exploration during the fourth quarter involved diamond drilling at the Hutite and Anbat prospects, located on the Hodine
licence in Egypt. Almost 6,000m of diamond drilling was completed at Hutite and Anbat during the quarter, however results
were received from only three holes due to delays with sample processing.
In the United States, at Cripple Creek and Victor, a total of 11,085m were drilled. RC holes from the MLE-2 Programme
continued to display significant ore grade gold mineralisation well below the 2011 WHEX & Grassy Valley Design Pit
bottoms. For example, borehole GR-952, drilled at Grassy Valley, intersected 74.7m @ 11.0g/t Au from 38m. The results
from this and other holes will help to deepen the current WHEX & Grassy Valley design pit bottoms.
At La Colosa, in Colombia, drilling progressed well with 12,886m drilled and thirty seven boreholes completed. Five rigs
continued to operate during most of the quarter. Very significant intersections continued to be obtained on the edges of the
previously defined system and are expected to add to the overall Mineral Resource. During the quarter the following
significant intersections were obtained from the Northern end of the deposit, which continue to expand the northern extent of
the mineralisation and provide further support to the COL138 intersection reported last quarter, COL148 202.4m @ 2.27g/t
Au from 236m; COL127 243.0m @ 1.2g/t Au from 78m; COL156 101.8m @ 1.3g/t Au from 240m; COL158 190.0m @
1.34g/t Au from 128m; COL164 104.0m @ 2.2g/t Au from 90m.
Greenfields exploration in the Americas focused on early stage exploration in Colombia, Canada, the United States, Brazil
and Argentina. In Colombia, 249m of shallow drilling, and 886m of deep drilling were completed at the Quebradona joint
venture to further define the nature and extent of shallow epithermal gold, and deeper porphyry copper-gold mineralisation,
respectively. A 952 station soil survey programme was also completed. The tenement holding in Colombia by the end of
the quarter stood at 15,442 km
2
.
At Sunrise Dam in Australia, near-mine exploration continued to focus on extensional targets beneath the deposit and the
Cosmo lode with some extensional drilling of the recently defined Vogue mineralisation. During the quarter 20,836m were
drilled from 66 diamond drill holes from surface and underground positions. The Vogue mineralisation targets are geological
complex domains that form as extensions of the Cosmo-Dolly system and show broad domains of low and high-grade gold
mineralisation that extend for in excess of 400m in length and to depths greater than 900m vertical. Early indications are
that a significant and broad mineralised domain exists with potential to significantly increase Mineral Resources at Sunrise
Dam. Recent intercepts that include a composite of gold mineralisation and waste (up to 25m), include: 53.0m @ 2.00g/t
Au; 118.2m @ 1.63g/t Au; 124.1m @ 1.54g/t Au; includes up to 25m of continuous waste to a cumulative total of 100m of
waste, averaging >1g/t; 9.0m @ 8.25g/t; 7.2m @ 5.86g/t; 8.0m @ 8.8g/t; 32.7m @ 3.45g/t; 5.0m @ 6.78g/t; 34.7m @
2.44g/t; 6.6m @ 6.33g/t; 21.0m @ 3.93g/t; 16.8m @ 3.11g/t; includes up 5m of continuous waste to a cumulative total of
25m of waste, averaging >1g/t.
At Tropicana, a new Mineral Resource estimate was completed for Tropicana with a 1.05Moz increase bringing the total
Mineral Resource to 6.41Moz (100% basis). The increase is attributable to drilling in the Havana Deeps area. Exploration
drilling continued at Havana Deeps and in the area between Tropicana and Havana. A total of 948m RC and 10,317m
diamond drilling were completed.
Elsewhere in the Tropicana JV lease area, reconnaissance aircore drilling and RC/diamond drilling of a number of key
prospects continued on the Tropicana JV tenements. At Iceberg, 35km south of the Tropicana Gold Mine, RC drilling
completed during the previous quarter returned encouraging results including 2m @ 5.27g/t Au from 58m, 6m @ 1.37g/t Au
from 64m and 4m @ 1.88g/t Au from 85m. Follow-up RC drilling is planned for 2012. At the Viking project (AngloGold
Ashanti 100%) aircore drilling was completed at several prospects and results are pending. Auger soil sampling continued
to generate targets for drill testing in 2012.
In the Solomon Islands, exploration activities continued at the Kele and Mase Joint Ventures, which are held by AngloGold
Ashanti (51%) and XDM Resources (49%). At the Mase JV Project, reconnaissance surface sampling continued with
586 samples collected in the Mase and Pundakona regions, including 407 soil, 124 stream and 55 rock chips. A number of
significant stream, soil and some rock chip samples were returned from the Pundakona work, including a best rock chip
sample of 17.3g/t Au. Further work is planned on these in early 2012. At the Kele JV Project, diamond drilling continued with
603m completed in three scout holes targeting porphyry-style mineralisation at the Konga prospect.
OUTLOOK
Group’s gold production for 2012 is estimated at between 4.3Moz to 4.4Moz. Total cash costs are estimated at between
$780-$805/oz at an average exchange rate of R7.40/$, BRL1.70/$, A$1.01/$ and AP4.43/$ and fuel at $110/barrel. Both
production and total cash costs estimates will be reviewed quarterly, in the light of safety related stoppages currently
being experienced in South Africa and any other unforeseen factors.
Gold production for the first quarter of 2012 is estimated at 1.03Moz. Total cash costs are estimated at between
$820/oz-$835/oz at an average exchange rate of R7.40/$, BRL1.70/$, A$1.01
/$ and AP4.35/$ and fuel at $110/barrel.
Both estimates could see some downside risk in the light of safety related stoppages currently being experienced in
South Africa.

Review of the Gold Market
Gold price movement and investment markets
GOLD PRICE DATA
Fear of sovereign defaults once again dominated markets during the fourth quarter, although this wasn’t always reflected in
the gold price. Despite the growing uncertainty over Europe’s ability to resolve its debt crisis, the gold price never traded
close to the all-time high of $1,920/oz seen in the previous quarter. In the quarter under review gold appeared to trade as a
risk asset – experiencing selling pressure in times of heightened turmoil and not trading like the safe haven asset it is
generally seen as. Continued uncertainty over how Europe is likely to resolve its funding crisis caused the Euro to slip
against the US dollar and the relative strength of the greenback hindered appreciation of the gold price. Despite these
headwinds, the spot gold price still gained 11% over 2011 and averaged $1,572/oz for the year. This marks a 28%
appreciation over the average spot price of $1,227/oz in 2010 and marks the tenth consecutive year of price appreciation –
the longest bull-run in the gold price to date.
INVESTMENT DEMAND
Towards the end of the third quarter of 2011, large scale ETF liquidation saw sales of some 2.5Mozs of gold. However
buying early in the fourth quarter reversed this trend and by the end of October combined holdings were back around
75Mozs, the holdings level prevailing before the sell-off. Despite the failure of the gold price to respond to the worsening
crisis in Europe, ETF holdings grew over the course of the fourth quarter and this quarter was by far the most positive in
terms of ETF growth in 2011, with 1.25Mozs being added. The two previous quarters showed negative growth or net
redemptions. At year end, aggregate holdings for the major ETFs totalled almost 78Mozs, which represents a 7%
increase of 5.2Mozs for the year. This growth is negligible in comparison to the demand surges of the previous two
years. That said, combined holdings of the ETFs remain significant. When compared to official sector holdings, combined
ETFs rank 6
th behind the USA (267Mozs), Germany (109Mozs), IMF (91Mozs), Italy (79Mozs) and France (78Mozs).
COMEX positioning through the fourth quarter was relatively stable, with no extreme movements week on week.
Interestingly, the positioning at the end of 2011 had decreased by almost 10Mozs from its January starting point.
Investment demand in China was flat year on year at around 60t, but since the fourth quarter 2010 was considered a
very strong quarter, performance of fourth quarter 2011 should be seen as likewise – especially when one considers that
there was little investment activity in October as investors were skittish following the big gold price correction in
September. In India fourth quarter investment demand suffered on the back of price volatility and the negative impact of
a weakening Rupee. The biggest market for bar and coin hoarding in 2011 was Europe and its appetite for physical gold
investment products remained strong in the last quarter of the year. In 2011 United States coin demand was softer than
in 2010 as panic over the economy eased somewhat.
OFFICIAL SECTOR
Central Bank off-take of 21t was reported in October, with Russia taking the bulk of that at 19.5t. This activity was
countered somewhat by the sale of 4.7t by the Bundesbank as part of a commemorative coin minting programme. The
emergence of the official sector as gold buyer has become an increasingly important factor in terms of global gold
demand and GFMS estimates Official Sector demand in 2011 to be 430t – roughly 15% of world mine production for the
year. With the appreciation of the gold price over recent years, the weighting of gold as a percentage of certain Eurozone
banks’ reserves has arguably become significant and sits at over 70% of German, Italian and French reserves.
JEWELLERY SALES
In India the fourth quarter was the second consecutive quarter experiencing a decrease from 2010 levels of jewellery
demand. High price volatility coupled with Rupee weakness against the dollar hit the jewellery market harder than it did
investment demand. Since fabrication charges are levied on jewellery, investment products present better value to those
feeling the Rupee price squeeze. Many players believe that the currency is undervalued and are holding off on making
purchases until the Rupee strengthens. As a result inventories remain low. In China, the market for pure gold jewellery
continued to grow in the fourth quarter, albeit at a modest rate of 2%. Consumer fears around inflation helped spur gold
demand in both pure gold jewellery and investment products. Shares in some of China’s major jewellery retailers showed
very strong growth in 2011, due in large part to the rising gold price and the value of pure gold jewellery as an investment
vehicle. In the United States the first three quarters of 2011 delivered gold jewellery growth of 3% over the same period
of 2010 and most retailers reported reasonably good holiday sales in the fourth quarter. In line with the trend experienced
since 2010, high-end players continue to see the strongest growth in revenues, but the lower- and mid-end are starting to
perform better thanks to easing credit terms and the efficient management of low inventories.

Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve are reported in accordance with the minimum standards described by
the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve (JORC
Code, 2004 Edition), and also conform to the standards set out in the South African Code for the Reporting
of Exploration Results, Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve (The SAMREC Code, 2007 edition). Mineral
Resource is inclusive of the Ore Reserve component unless otherwise stated.


AngloGold Ashanti strives to
actively create value by growing its major asset – the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve. This drive is based on an active, well-defined brownfields exploration programme, innovation
in both geological modelling and mine planning and continual optimisation of its asset portfolio.
Mineral Resource
The total Mineral Resource increased from 220.0Moz in December 2010 to 230.9Moz in December 2011. A
gross annual increase of 16.8Moz occurred before depletion, while the net increase after allowing for
depletion is 10.9Moz. Changes in economic assumptions from December 2010 to December 2011 resulted
in an 11.2Moz increase to the Mineral Resource, whilst exploration and modelling resulted in an increase of
7.9Moz. The remaining decrease of 2.2Moz resulted from various other factors.

ORE RESERVE

The AngloGold Ashanti Ore Reserve increased from 71.2Moz in December 2010 to 75.6Moz in December
2011. A gross annual increase of 9.6Moz occurred before depletion of 5.2Moz. The increase net of depletion
was therefore of 4.4Moz. Changes in economic assumptions from 2010 to 2011 resulted in an increase of
4.4Moz to the Ore Reserve, while exploration and modelling resulted in a further increase of 5.0Moz. The
remaining increase of 0.2Moz resulted from various other factors.

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
potential seepage and it has been demonstrated that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) by the existing
environment will contribute to improvements 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 $54m,
R438m (December 2010: $55m, R363m). The company’s attributable share of the second assessment is
approximately $34m, R270m (December 2010: $34m, R224m). 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. In July 2011,
the administrative council’s second chamber ruled in favour of MSG and fully cancelled the tax liability related to
the second period. The State of Goiás has appealed to the full board of the State of Goiás tax administrative
council. 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, R74m (December 2010: $10m, R64m).
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, R230m (December 2010: $24m, R155m).
(5)   Indirect taxes – AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited received a tax assessment for $12m, R97m (December 2010:
$11m, R70m) 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, 1973 (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 Appeal in
2010. In both instances judgement was awarded in favour of AngloGold Ashanti Limited on the basis that an
employer is indemnified against such a claim for damages by virtue of the provisions of section 35 of the
Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, 1993 (COIDA). 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. The Constitutional Court held that section 35 of COIDA does not indemnify the employer
against such claims.
Mr Mankayi passed away subsequent to the hearing in the Supreme Court of Appeal. Following the
Constitutional Court 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 will 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 of 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, R781m, of which $34m, R250m (December 2010: $4m, R30m) have been
received to date. Royalties of $8m, R62m (December 2010: $2m, R17m) 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
background image
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 on 219,005oz produced have been received to date. Royalties of $1m, R11m
(December 2010: $3m, R21m) 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 $12m, R100m (December 2010: $15m,
R100m). The suretyship agreements have a termination notice period of 90 days.
15.    Borrowings
AngloGold Ashanti’s borrowings are interest bearing.
16.    Announcements
On 16 November 2011, shareholders, in general meeting, authorised the directors to provide financial assistance to
related or inter-related companies or corporations in terms of sections 44 and 45 of the South African Companies
Act, 71 of 2008 (as amended).

On the payment date, dividends due to holders of certificated securities on the South African and United Kingdom
share registers will be electronically transferred to shareholders' bank accounts. Given the increasing incidences
of fraud with respect to cheque payments, the company has ceased the payment of dividends by way of cheque.
Shareholders are requested to notify the relevant share registrars with banking details to enable future dividends to
be paid via electronic funds transfer. Refer to the back cover for share registrar details.
Dividends in respect of dematerialised shareholdings will be credited to shareholders' accounts with the relevant
CSDP or broker.

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

Dividend policy: Dividends are proposed, and approved by the board of directors of AngloGold Ashanti, based on the
financial results for the quarter. Dividends are recognised when declared by the board of directors of AngloGold Ashanti.
AngloGold Ashanti expects to continue to pay dividends, although there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid
in the future or as to the particular amounts that will be paid from year to year. The payments of future dividends will
depend upon the Board’s ongoing assessment of AngloGold Ashanti’s earnings, after providing for long term growth and
cash/debt resources, the amount of reserves available for dividend using going concern assessment and restrictions
placed by the conditions of the convertible bonds and other debt facilities and other factors.

Withholding tax
:
On 1 April 2012, a 10% withholding tax on dividends and other distributions payable to shareholders
will come into effect. This withholding tax, which was announced by the South African Government on 21 February
2007, replaces the Secondary Tax on Companies. Although this may reduce the tax payable by the South African
operations of the group, thereby increasing distributable earnings, the withholding tax will generally reduce the amount of
dividends or other distributions received by AngloGold Ashanti shareholders.

Annual general meeting:
Shareholders on the South African register who have dematerialised their shares in the
company (other than those shareholders whose shareholding is recorded in their own names in the sub-register
maintained by their CSDP) and who wish to attend the annual general meeting to be held on 10 May 2012 in person, will
need to request their CSDP or broker to provide them with the necessary authority in terms of the custody agreement
entered into between them and the CSDP or broker.

Voting rights:
The South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 (as amended) provides that if voting is by a show of hands,
any person present and entitled to exercise voting rights has one vote, irrespective of the number of voting rights that
person would otherwise be entitled to. If voting is taken by way of poll, any shareholder who is present at the meeting,
whether in person or by duly appointed proxy, shall have one vote for every share held. There are no limitations on the
right of non-South African shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights attaching to any shares of the company. CDI
holders are not entitled to vote in person at meetings, but may vote by way of proxy. Options granted in terms of the
share incentive scheme do not carry rights to vote.

Change of details:
Shareholders are reminded that the onus is on them to keep the company, through its nominated
share registrars, apprised of any change in their postal address and personal particulars. Similarly, where shareholders
received dividend payments electronically (EFT), they should ensure that the banking details which the share registrars
and/or CSDPs have on file are correct.

Annual reports:
Should you wish to receive a printed copy of our 2011 integrated report or any other report from our
2011 suite of reports, please request same from the contact persons listed at the end of this report or on the company’s
website.

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 or environmental issues, 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 2010, which was distributed to shareholders on 29 March 2011 and the company’s 2010 annual report on Form 20-
F, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States on 31 May 2011. 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. 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.
