ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI’S 2020 SUITE OF REPORTS

Throughout this report, the icons below are hyperlinked to the relevant report

Scope and objective

This integrated report covers the performance of AngloGold Ashanti Limited and its subsidiaries and investments (collectively, ‘we’, ‘us’, the Company or the Group) for the year from 1 January to 31 December 2020. In this report, we describe certain elements of our operational, financial, environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and related information.

We aim to provide a holistic, concise and balanced review of our overall performance, progress made in delivering on our strategy, and our prospects to enable stakeholders to make an informed evaluation of our ability to create value in the short, medium and long term and the future viability of our business.

While the primary audience of this report is investors and other providers of financial capital, it will also be useful to a broader stakeholder audience as the report provides material information relating to our business model, operating context, material risks, stakeholder interests, and our governance. Supplementary operational, geological and sustainability information is available on this website.

For completeness, any significant material event that occurs between the end of the financial year and the date on which this report is approved, is included. Unless otherwise indicated, information reported refers to that of the Group as a whole, and not only continuing operations.

Reporting boundary

The reporting boundary for this report includes all AngloGold Ashanti subsidiaries, associates and investments.

Assets sold during the year were those in South Africa – Mponeng and Surface Operations (including Mine Waste Solutions) – and in Mali, Sadiola and Morila. As the sale of the South African assets was concluded on 30 September 2020, their contributions to the Group are reported for the first nine months of the year. The Morila and Sadiola asset sale transactions were concluded on 10 November 2020 and 30 December 2020, respectively. We have, however, not reported on Morila and Sadiola for 2020.

This is a Group level report covering the entire Company, its joint ventures and investments. While performance and targets are reported regionally, we report fully on all operations managed by AngloGold Ashanti. Kibali, in which AngloGold Ashanti has an ownership interest but does not manage, is partially reported. There were no significant changes to the scope, boundary or measurement methods used in this report since 2019. Any comparative restatements are indicated.

Information on joint ventures and other interests is provided if considered material. Production, costs, capital expenditure, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve data are reported on an attributable basis, unless otherwise indicated. Employee data, which includes both permanent employees and contractors, and average workforce data, is reported for AngloGold Ashanti with joint ventures reported on an attributable basis.

For details of our assets and their relevant shareholdings, see the Corporate profile – who we are, and for information on our principal subsidiaries and operating entities, refer to our <AFS> .

Approvals and assurance

The information presented in this report has been subject to either an internal or external audit. Internal audit and approval processes include, among others, regular management review of information and data published.

In addition, our operations are subject to risk-based, integrated, combined assurance reviews of the commercial, safety and sustainability aspects of our business. The outcomes of these internal processes and external assurances, as well as of any independent technical reviews, provide reasonable assurance to allow the board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, to determine the effectiveness of our internal control systems and procedures, and thus to ensure the accuracy of the information presented.

Financial information from the <AFS> was externally audited and signed off by Ernst & Young (EY) while certain selected sustainability performance indicators reported in the <SR> were subjected to an independent external assurance conducted by EY – download the Independent assurance report (345kb)
