Building safety procedure
A siren will sound and information will be
broadcast over the public address system.
Move quickly to the nearest exit points,
which are on both sides of the auditorium
and at the back right hand corner.
Please gather at the open car park behind
Turbine Square where safety wardens will
advise you on any additional procedures.
SAFETY IS OUR FIRST VALUE in case of an emergency…

Production impacted by safety stoppages at Mponeng, de-risk plan underway…
…full operational, capital and off-mine cost remodelling continues.
• Mponeng negatively impacted by safety-related
disruptions -
Action plan in place to address seismicity
challenges and ventilation constraints
Mining halted in some developed areas above
120 level for safety reasons
Full operational, capital and off-mine cost
remodelling underway
• TauTona improved cash costs by 8% y-o-y as cost

Mponeng update
Work is underway to mitigate productivity challenges caused by delays to project area…
…the focus will be on improving safety for this long-term asset, whilst optimising cash flow.
• Productivity impacted by ongoing safety stoppages delaying access to B120L area
- more than 100 days lost to project since February 2014
• Mining now only above 120L (Levels 113/116/120) is sub-optimal given seismicity
and lateral distance from infrastructure
• Fleet availability also impacting project
• Revised planning underway to mitigate safety challenge
• Development in ramp area
• Construction of ice dam, tipping
and ore handling infrastructure
• Infrastructure, servicing the
critical path development
activities for the project

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

• 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

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

We continue to deliver cash cost reductions…
…which help offset the anticipated seasonal increase in sustaining capex.
