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 achievement of project milestones, 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, 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 and the prospectus supplement to the
company’s prospectus dated July 17, 2012 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 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.
