Certain statements made in this communication, other than statements of
historical fact, 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 acquisitions and dispositions, AngloGold
Ashanti`s liquidity and capital resources and capital expenditure and the
outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory
proceedings or environmental issues, are forward-looking statements or
forecasts 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 or 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 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 2011, which was distributed to shareholders on 4
April 2012 and the company`s 2011 annual report on Form 20-F, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States on 23
April 2012. 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, stakeholders 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 today`s date 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.
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

may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies may use.
