Certain statements made in this communication, including, without limitation,
those concerning AngloGold Ashanti`s strategy to reduce its gold hedging
position including the extent and effects of the reduction, 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

expenditure and the outcome and consequences of any pending litigation
proceedings, 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

business and operational risk management. For a discussion of such factors,
