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 May 31, 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.
