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.

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.
