Regional overview: Vaal River

Regulatory safety related stoppages lead to reduced production…

…contained costs, partly assisted by weaker currency.

• Production affected by safety-related stoppages

• Moab Khotsong saw lower face values as

mining moved out of high grade areas

• Successfully cleared ore pass blockage at

Kopanang, now operating at full capacity

• Great Noligwa shaft on care & maintenance,

with underground mining from Moab Khotsong

• Consolidation yielded $18m savings in

efficiency improvements

South Africa development – ORD is high on our priority list

Our strategy is to ensure enough development is done now…

…to sustain planned future production.

• ORD has been negatively impacted by safety stoppages – therefore a priority area

• Better safety performance will facilitate improved ORD volume and provide additional mining flexibility

• Ore reserve position is clearly stable, with Mponeng B120L project imperative to improving its position

• Kopanang reduction reflect changes to our model and economic assumptions

- Mining becoming less flexible as mining fronts ‘pinch out’

Regional overview: Surface Operations

Ore transportation challenges impacted on production…

…surface-dump retreatment operation being revised for optimum use.

• Production impacted by:

• higher intake of low-grade Kopanang

marginal ore dump material

• changes in the transportation of ore to

mitigate rail logistic challenges

• plant maintenance and

• lower production days y-o-y

• These are being mitigated by:

• revising the surface-dump retreatment

operation, now focussing on optimisation of

the flotation circuit to augment concentrate

feeding the uranium plant

• sorting the carbon in the mix to ultimately

improve and increase volumes

Wage negotiations

We have made what we believe is a generous, above-inflation offer…

…particularly given the major challenges faced by the SA gold industry.

• Employers remain committed to reaching a mutually

acceptable agreement that will help ensure the

sustainability of the industry

• Dispute declared by NUM after three-year, above-

inflation offer rejected; talks referred to CCMA for

mediation

• The rejected offer included:

• For entry-level employees, additional R1,000 per

month, each year for three years (no added

benefits); R100 per month increase in living-out

allowance in year one

• Guaranteed entry-level pay R13,200 per month in

the 3rd year of agreement (this is before overtime

and production bonuses, which can add an

average 20% in variable pay to employee’s wages)

• Unions have also declined to enter ‘Economic and

Social Sustainability Compact’ with employers that

would help provide job security

• Employers have reverted to original offer, which

includes R750/m, plus benefits, for each of three

years

Continental Africa Region continues to deliver strong performance...

...with Geita emerging to offset weakness in other parts of the portfolio.

• Solid cost performance driven by Geita, Iduapriem, Morila

and Kibali; the region achieved the lowest AISC for the

group and lowest for the region since the first quarter of

2010

• Geita benefitted from access to higher grade ore stripped

last year in the Nyankanga pit, together with 8% increase in

throughput due to softer material and higher mill efficiency

• Kibali operating stably at 600koz. Underground ramping up

• Siguiri production down on depletion of higher grade ore;

focus now on continued exploration hard-rock plant

• Australia Region costs improved significantly as Sunrise

Dam mining costs down by more than 50%

• Sunrise Dam’s underground mining run-rate now c2.75

• Opportunity for cost improvement through better grade

reconciliation

• Tropicana’s production 81,000oz on lower throughput and

lower head grade; total cash cost $533/oz

• Total cash costs at Tropicana increased partly due to the

lower production and additional costs related to waste

stripping of the new Boston Shaker pit

• Mining productivity continued to improve with total

movement and ore volumes ahead of plan

Project update: Obuasi

Decisive action continues to reset this world-class ore body…

…with progress in key areas during limited operations phase.

• Limited operations continued, producing 14,000oz from

retreatment of tailings and remnant stockpiles

• Obuasi Deeps Decline development tracking according to plan

• Feasibility Study remains on course for completion by year end;

optimisation of draft study now under way

• Aim to develop a simpler modern operation with:

An operating footprint physically separate from the adjacent

community of Obuasi

A simpler modern underground mechanised mine, using

contract mining

Appropriately scheduled brownfields, advanced grade control

and grade control drilling

Integrated geological modelling with long, medium and short

term mine planning

Evaluated potential benefit of the development strike

extensions

• Our proactive community engagement programme, through the

Community Consultative Councils continues to provide updates to

the community and various key stakeholders

• Commenced engagement with the government on approval

requirements for redevelopment

Outlook

Annual guidance adjustments reflects CC&V sale…

…while we continue to look for improvements on all metrics.

Both production and cost estimates assume neither labour interruptions, power disruptions, or changes to asset portfolio and/or operating mines. Production and total cash costs estimates assume one

month of operating results from CC&V. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results and no assurance can be given that any expectations

expressed by AngloGold Ashanti will prove to have been correct. Please refer to the Risk Factors section in AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2014,

filed with the United States Securities and Exchange.

Weathering a weaker price environment

Ongoing P500 initiatives, favourable currency exposure and weaker oil

prices will continue to provide a partial, natural cushion for lower gold

prices. In addition we have the following focus areas…

….

• Corporate overhead and exploration costs reduced by more than two-thirds from 2012

• Conservative plan assumptions; marginal projects shelved and focus on margin over volume

• Improved balance sheet flexibility by asset sales, terming out debt, raising debt covenant

• Sharp cost focus – Renegotiating mining/supply contracts, less expat labour; mine redesigns

• AISC down 25%, AIC down 35% since 2012, whilst keeping long-term options intact

• Conservative near-term planning assumptions which will focus margins

• South Africa safety focus to help recover volume

• Intensify efforts to reduce improve efficiencies and reduce all costs across our portfolio

• Restrict exploration and reef-boring to further focus on near- to medium-term production

• Significantly reduce Colombia portfolio costs

• Optimise Obuasi redevelopment schedule

• Harvest short-life mines for cash
