NEGOTIATIONS WITH GUINEA GOVERNMENT REGARDING ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI`S SIGUIRI MINE
On 26 May, AngloGold Ashanti issued a statement that the Government of Guinea
had placed an embargo on all imports and exports by the Siguiri Mine.
Management directed its immediate focus on steps to ensure environmental
protection and the maintenance of the company`s assets.
Since the announcement, constructive discussions have commenced with the Guinean
Government and the supply of diesel fuel to the mine has resumed. However, the
embargo on the export of gold from Siguiri remains in place. The impact of the
continuing embargo on the mine`s operations has been brought to the attention of
the Government.
Meanwhile, AngloGold Ashanti is using its best efforts to bring this undesirable
state of affairs to a speedy and satisfactory resolution and the market will be
kept informed of further developments.
