FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this document, 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, all-in sustaining
costs, all-in costs, cost savings and other operating results, return
on equity, productivity improvements, growth prospects and outlook
of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, individually or in the aggregate,
including the achievement of project milestones, commencement
and completion of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold
Ashanti’s exploration and production projects and the completion
of acquisitions, dispositions or joint venture transactions, AngloGold
Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources and capital expenditures and
the outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or
regulatory proceedings or environmental health and safety issues, are
forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti’s operations,
economic performance and financial condition. These forwardlooking
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 and 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,
social and political and market conditions, the success of business and
operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other
government actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations
in gold prices and exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future
litigation proceedings, and business and operational risk management.
For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti’s
annual reports on Form 20-F which was filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, readers 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 the date hereof 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.
