CAPITAL DISCIPLINE

IN PRACTISE

DISCLAIMER

2

Certain statements contained in this document, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic

outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, total cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, all-in costs, cost savings and

other operating results, productivity improvements, growth prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, individually or in the aggregate,

including the achievement of project milestones, commencement and completion of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration

and production projects and the completion of acquisitions, dispositions or joint venture transactions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources

and capital expenditures and the outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings or environmental health and

safety issues, are forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, economic performance and financial condition.

These forward-looking statements or forecasts involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause AngloGold Ashanti’s

actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in these

forward-looking statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and forecasts 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, social and political and market conditions, the success of

business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations

in gold prices and exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, and business and operational risk management.

For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F, which was filed with the United States Securities and

Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. AngloGold Ashanti undertakes no

obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to

reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable law. 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.

The financial information contained in this market update presentation has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company's external auditors.

This communication may contain 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

LESSONS LEARNED FROM BODDINGTON

12

Boddington Issues Tropicana Approach

Change in engineer between Feasibility and

Implementation phase - resulted in scope

changes and 6 month delay

Continuity through schedule with

Lycopodium as EPCM, with well defined

project scope.

Contracts awarded on incomplete drawings

in attempt to recover schedule Advantage taken of access and site

infrastructure construction time to advance

engineering to a high level of completion,

prior to award of construction packages.

When project schedule came under pressure,

schedule compression resulted in low

labour productivity and high labour

numbers.

Contracts based on reimbursable-with-

incentives model – this was ineffective

Lump sum or schedule-of-rates contracts,

with mid-tier contractors.

Commodity price escalation eroded budget

and returns

Development budget included construction

cost escalation of 6% per annum

KEY LEARNINGS INFORM IMPROVEMENTS

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

• High definition scope of work

• Efficient tender evaluation and negotiation

ENGINEERING

• High level definition of design & specifications

• Tightly controlled scope of work

• Early completion of engineering

• Pre assembly of the structural steel

• Increase off site panelisation

PROCUREMENT/EXPEDITING MANAGEMENT

• Favour premium equipment

• Pre-tendering of major equipment during BFS

• High quality packaging and expediting system

• Preservation of equipment on site

• Onshore and offshore suppliers

• Transport efficiency and cost control

• Investigate, select best suppliers and manufacturers

PROJECT CONSTRUCTION

• Active management of relationship with EPCM

• Mindfulness of contractor deficiencies

• Assistance for troubled contractors

• Daily management of contractors work schedule

• Daily interfaces management

• Active safety, environmental, and IR management

• EPCM package engineer experience

PROJECT CONTROLS

• Project execution, implementation plans and sub plans

• Separate reimbursable contract with EPCM

• Weekly schedule meeting and reporting

• Trending and change management control

• Monthly cost forecast, risk review and risk management

• Document control

• Progress measurement

OBUASI – STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT IS KEY

17

Key Considerations:

➢ Large-scale Brownfields Project

➢ Greater social and sustainability complexity

➢ Unique local content dynamics

Key Risk Management Features:

✓ Labour risk managed – new labour model, smaller workforce

✓ Political risk managed – full suite of stability, security

agreements signed; awaiting parliamentary approval

✓ Execution team – Experienced Ghana team plus Tropicana

project leadership

APPROACH TO ENHANCING LOCAL CONTENT

18

Feasibility/ local capacity assessment

• Identify types of goods and services (and values) required and those that have the potential to be supplied locally

• Assess local suppliers and range of goods/services available locally. (incl. skills, capabilities, access to finance of

the suppliers

• Enterprise & Supplier Development Program to help bridge gap

Engage and Assist Local Suppliers

• Early, open and transparent communication of future sourcing requirements

• Provide tender documentation appropriate for local supplier

• Conduct regular Workshops on buying/contracting process and AngloGold Ashanti Ghana requirements;

• Provide detail on issues that need to be considered by bidders, before they present their documentation

• Communicate prequalification requirements in a manner which is readily understood

Connecting with suppliers of goods and services

• Supplier open days

• Enterprise and Supplier Development Programs (working with

specialist organisations)

• Reference databases / organisations – Chamber of Mines, AGI, etc.

APPROACH TO ENHANCING LOCAL CONTENT

19

Order of preference as follows:

• Ghanaian businesses

• Multi-national businesses registered and operating in Ghana

• International business with local content

• International businesses

Approach to Competitive Tendering

• Per local content regulations (19 elements)

• Per the approved Mining List

• Preference to equipment suppliers registered and operating

in Ghana

• Ghanaian capability and competitiveness, (demolition,

earthworks, haulage, SMP, refurbishment)

• Tenders to multinationals registered and operating in Ghana

• Optimise local content with respect to labour, training, goods

and subcontracted services

• Transparent process, priority in order of preference:

• Current workforce (all Ghanaian),

• Ghanaian nationals (in-country/abroad),

• Within broader AngloGold Ashanti group

• External

• Targeted local employment procedure in place for the

benefit of local host communities close to the mine.

Applies to both AngloGold Ashanti Ghana and contractors

• Clear transition plans supported by management

• Development and training programs for operation, in

place from the outset
