Financial and operating review
OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER
AngloGold Ashanti’s “Safety is Our First Value” campaign has now run for just over 18 months delivered a
substantial impact across the business. While safety gains were recorded at many of the South African
operations during the first quarter, two employees tragically lost their lives in separate accidents at the Moab
Khotsong and Tau Lekoa mines. The company recorded a Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR) of 0.05 per
million hours worked, a 58% improvement on the FIFR of 0.12 in the fourth quarter. The Lost Time Injury
Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 7.05 during the second quarter, compared with 6.98 in the three months ending
December. Leadership across AngloGold Ashanti remains fully committed to continuing to improve safety
performance to deliver a workplace free of accidents.
First-quarter gold production of 1.1Moz was 2.4% lower than the initial guidance of 1.13Moz, but in line with
revised guidance issued on 2 April, 2009. The general operating performance across the business was solid
and the operating issues in South Africa and Tanzania that caused revision of first-quarter guidance in April
have now been resolved.
Southern Africa operations produced 481,000oz at a total cash cost of $347/oz, compared with 540,000oz at
$325/oz in the previous quarter. Uranium output was 5% higher at 369,000lbs. Management’s decision to
suspend some underground operations in South Africa to further improve safety contributed to the reduction,
as did the slower-than-anticipated resumption of work after the December break. The Vaal River division was
further impacted by inventory lock-up in the plant at Kopanang and the intersection of unidentified geological
structures at Moab Khotsong, while maintenance at Mponeng and a five-day drillers’ strike at Savuka led to
lower output from the West Wits operations. The strike at Savuka related to a disagreement on payments to
drillers and this issue has since been resolved.
The Africa region produced 342,000oz at a total cash cost of $591/oz, compared with 401,000oz at $586/oz
in the previous quarter. Planned reductions in volume at Yatela and Sadiola as well as a plant breakdown at
Geita contributed to lower production. Strong performances were delivered by Siguiri which benefited from
grade improvements and Obuasi which is successfully meeting its turnaround objectives.
The South America region produced to its plan of 126,000oz at $348/oz, compared with 164,000oz at
$327/oz in the previous quarter, while Cripple Creek & Victor in North America had production of 56,000oz at
$336/oz versus 78,000oz at $322/oz in the previous period. AngloGold Ashanti’s Australian operation
produced 98,000oz at A$865/oz ($574/oz), as compared with 85,000oz at A$721/oz ($486/oz) in the
previous quarter as Sunrise Dam drew down higher-grade ore from stockpiles. The Australian operations are
performing ahead of planned targets.
AngloGold Ashanti’s total cash costs rose 5% to $445/oz, in-line with initial guidance of $440/oz to $450/oz.
While the increase was anticipated, it was due mainly to the lower volumes across most of the company’s
mines, partly offset by lower fuel costs.
The company continued to deliver into hedge commitments, part of its strategy to reduce its overall position
and increase exposure to spot gold-prices. The net delta of the hedge book reduced by 360,000oz, or 7%, to
4.86Moz with total commitments of 5.84Moz, reflecting a decline of 154,000oz, or 3% at 31 March 2009. The
overall reduction in the hedge position was due to deliveries made into maturing contracts.
We continue to deliver on our strategic restructuring objectives with the sale by Anglo American Plc of its
remaining stake in the company, thereby removing the overhang in the market that was perceived by many
as an impediment to optimum share-price performance. Paulson & Co., a US-based investment fund,
purchased Anglo American’s 39.9m shares at $32 each, resulting in a total consideration of $1.28bn.
AngloGold Ashanti management held constructive dialogue with Paulson & Co. representatives following the
purchase and is encouraged by their support for the company’s ongoing operational and strategic plans.
background image
Further progress on the strategic restructuring was delivered through the continuing optimisation of its
portfolio of assets, AngloGold Ashanti announced on 28 January 2009 the sale of its 33.33% stake in the
Boddington mine to Newmont Mining Corporation for up to approximately $1.1bn, comprising $750m in cash
upon closing the deal; $240m in cash or Newmont shares due on 31 December 2009, and up to $100m in
quarterly royalty payments based on specific cash operating margins. Capital expenditure incurred from
1 January 2009 is to be reimbursed following closure of the sale which is expected by about 30 June 2009.
On 14 February 2009, the company announced an agreement to sell its Tau Lekoa mine and the adjacent
Goedgenoeg and Weltevreden properties to Simmer & Jack Mines Ltd. Tau Lekoa is a mature, high-cost
asset, distant from the company’s other Vaal River mines where future consolidation synergies are planned.
The sale is for R600m, less up to R150m in un-hedged free cashflow generated by the mine during 2009, as
well as a 3% quarterly royalty revenue on 1.5Moz of gold, payable when gold trades above R180,000/kg.
The sale is expected to close early 2010.
Exploration expenditure of $31m declined 18% from the previous quarter reflecting continuous reprioritisation
and management of the greenfields exploration strategy. Greenfields exploration activities were undertaken
in Australia, Colombia, China, the Philippines, Russia and the DRC. Prefeasibility work on the Tropicana
project in Australia remains on schedule for completion in the second half of 2009. In Colombia, drilling at
La Colosa remained suspended during the quarter pending the award of environmental permits.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Colombia’s Ministry of Environment, Housing and Development
indicated it will issue a permit allowing AngloGold Ashanti to resume exploration on a portion of the La
Colosa concession. A legally binding decision within the government’s administrative process is being
awaited in this regard.
The award of permits will be a significant step forward and allow for resumption of exploration and other
activities related to the project’s prefeasibility study. Throughout the process, close cooperation will be
undertaken with local communities and non-governmental organizations to demonstrate that the
development of a mine will be undertaken in an environmentally and socially responsible manner and will
have significant economic benefits for the region.
Internal estimates indicate expenditure of about $200 million over the next three to four years to increase
knowledge of one of the most significant gold discoveries of the past decade and the first significant gold
porphyry discovery in the Colombian Andes. An investment of that magnitude will create roughly 700 direct
jobs and about three times that number in indirect employment opportunities.
Adjusted headline earnings were $150m, or US42 cents/share, up from a loss of $17m, or US5 cents/share
in the previous quarter. The turnaround shows AngloGold Ashanti’s improving leverage to higher spot gold
prices with the reduced hedge commitments, lower amortisation and inventory adjustments. This result was
further underpinned by the solid cost performance, delivered in spite of the slightly lower production result.
Production for the second quarter of 2009 is expected to be 1.140Moz because of the number of public
holidays in South Africa during the second quarter. Total cash costs during the quarter are estimated at
$465/oz at R9.25/$; A$/$0.66; BRL2.25/$ and Argentinean peso 3.65/$, at R8.50/$ and A$/$0.73 with the
same BRL and Argentinean peso to the dollar the total cash cost is likely to be around $485/oz.
The company remains on track to meet its production guidance for the year of between 4.9Moz to 5.0Moz.
The annual total cash cost guidance was $435/oz to $450/oz and this was based on R9.75/$, A$/$0.68,
BRL2.25/$ and Argentinean peso 3.65/$. However, with the strengthening of local currencies and in
particular the South African rand, total cash costs are likely to be in the range of $450/oz to $460/oz at
R9.25/$ and $460/oz to $475/oz at R8.50/$. Capital expenditure excluding Boddington remains forecast at
$840m in 2009 and management expects to achieve a discount of 6% to the average spot gold price for the
year.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER
SOUTHERN AFRICA
Great Noligwa’s production was adversely affected by the premature intersection of a geological structure
and the closure over the year-end break. Output was further affected by hanging-up of ore passes in January
and February, causing lock-up. Gold production dropped 31% to 1,349kg (43,000oz) while total cash costs
rose 30% to R186,735/kg ($587/oz), due to the lower production. Adjusted gross profit was R35m ($4m),
compared with profit of R78m ($8m) in the prior quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 9.87 (12.11).
Kopanang lost four shifts to safety stoppages and also experienced a gold lock-up in the plant, resulting in
an 8% drop in yield. This contributed to gold production decreasing by 15% to 2,409kg (77,000oz). Total
cash costs increased by 9% to R107,584/kg ($338/oz), mainly due to lower gold production which was
partially offset by a favourable adjustment to gold-in-process. Adjusted gross profit was R247m ($25m)
against R240m ($24m) in the prior quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 11.87 (12.25).
Moab Khotsong’s production fell 8% to 2,028kg (65,000oz), due mainly to a clean-up of plant inventory in
the previous quarter and unexpected geological structures which eliminated planned mining faces, resulting
in lower tonnage. Total cash costs were 8% lower at R93,120/kg ($292/oz), due to the favourable inventory
adjustment and by-product contribution. Adjusted gross profit almost doubled to R202m ($20m) compared
with R114m ($12m) in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 14.51 (9.18). The mine had one fatality during the quarter.
Tau Lekoa’s, production was negatively impacted by safety stoppages and ventilation constraints in some
areas. Gold production fell 13% to 962kg (31,000oz). Total cash costs increased 24% to R188,797/kg
($593/oz) due to the payment of once-off retention bonuses relating to the sale of Tau Lekoa. Adjusted gross
profit almost doubled to R39m ($4m) compared with R22m ($2m) in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR deteriorated to 17.92 (12.38). The mine had one fatality during the quarter.
Vaal River Surface Operations’ production increased 67% to 1,416kg (46,000oz), due mainly to increases
in tonnage and improved grades of waste-rock dump delivered. Total cash costs fell 43% to R66,734/kg
($210/oz).
The LTIFR deteriorated to 0.63 (0.56).
Mponeng’s production declined 12% to 3,967kg (128,000oz), impacted by maintenance undertaken on the
mill, which in turn resulted in backfilling constraints. Total cash costs were well controlled and unit cash costs
rose by only 9% to R77,520/kg ($244/oz). Adjusted gross profit was R628m ($63m), compared with R594m
($60m) in the previous quarter.
LTIFR was little changed at 12.80 (12.66).
Savuka’s production dropped 24% to 432kg (14,000oz) due mainly to a drillers’ strike which cost five
production shifts, as well as problems encountered with an Eskom transformer. Total cash costs rose 77% to
R143,876/kg ($452/oz), the result of lower production and additional costs associated with the rehabilitation
of a dyke intersection. The mine received some benefit from a favourable adjustment in inventory after a
lock-up the previous quarter. Adjusted gross profit was R39m ($4m) compared with R42m ($4m) in the
previous quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 7.08 (12.35).
background image
TauTona’s production fell 16% to 1,822kg (59,000oz), after fall-of-ground incidents, seismic events and
face-length restrictions together resulted in lower mining volumes. Yield was 9% lower due to higher off-reef
tonnages as new development ends started. Total cash costs rose 18% to R122,643/kg ($385/oz), due to
lower gold production. Adjusted gross profit more than doubled to R163m ($16m), from R72m ($7m) in the
previous quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 13.59 (15.44).
Navachab’s production declined 10% to 18,000oz with harder footwall material fed to the plant resulting in
lower tonnage throughput. This was partially offset by a 5% increase in yield because of higher grades in the
footwall mineralisation and better-than-expected performance of low-grade stockpiles. Total cash costs were
11% lower at $457/oz, primarily as a result of deferred stripping-credits. Adjusted gross profit tripled to $6m,
from $2m in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR remained unchanged at 0.00 (0.00).
REST OF AFRICA
Iduapriem’s gold production fell 35% to 37,000oz, due to a breakdown of a mill gearbox which severely
impacted tonnage throughput. Total cash costs decreased by 7% to $535/oz, mainly as a result of a decline
in waste-stripping costs and lower fuel prices. Adjusted gross profit was $10m compared with $3m the
previous quarter.
LTIFR was 3.50 (3.33).
Obuasi’s gold production declined 6% to 92,000oz, as a breakdown at the oxygen treatment plant resulted
in a lower tonnage throughput. Total cash costs decreased 2% to $701/oz, due to a marked improvement in
operational efficiencies and reduced power consumption, as management continued to deliver on the
turnaround strategy. Adjusted gross loss narrowed to $1m, compared with $33m the previous quarter, as the
previous quarter’s non-cash adjustment to consumable inventory was not repeated.
The LTIFR was 4.23 (4.40).
At Siguiri (85% attributable), production marginally reduced to 80,000oz, while total cash costs increased by
3% to $492/oz, mainly due to higher royalty payments arising from a gain in the spot gold price, as well as a
slower build-up of ore stockpiles. Adjusted gross profit doubled to $22m, from $10m in the previous quarter.
LTIFR was 0.00 (0.58).
At Morila (40% attributable), production was 17% lower at 39,000oz. Tonnage throughput was reduced as
the SAG mill was relined and worn liners on the primary crusher were replaced. Total cash costs rose 7% to
$413/oz. Adjusted gross profit increased to $17m from $11m the prior quarter.
LTIFR remained unchanged at (0.00).
At Sadiola (38% attributable), production declined 27% to 36,000oz due to planned decreases in recovered
grade. Total cash costs decreased by 18% to $315/oz, despite the lower production, as a result of lower fuel
prices, lower reagent consumption and a decrease in freight costs. Adjusted gross profit more than tripled to
$17m, compared with $5m the previous quarter, buoyed by a higher gold price and an improved cost
performance. The decrease in production together with an increase in reserves, led to a lower amortisation
expense.
The LTIFR was 0.92 (0.83).
background image
At Yatela (40% attributable), production declined 13% to 14,000oz due to a planned decrease in recovered
grade and fewer production shifts, as well as unplanned maintenance, which led to lower tonnages stacked.
Total cash costs decreased by 2% to $547/oz as a result of lower fuel prices. Adjusted gross profit was
maintained at $3m, with higher received prices compensating for lower production.
The LTIFR was 0.00 (0.00).
Geita’s gold production fell 15% to 44,000oz. The performance was well below expectations following lower-
than-anticipated recovered grades, an extended mill shutdown due to SAG-mill gearbox failure and
replacement of the SAG mill thrust-ring. Repairs were completed by mid-February and tonnage throughput
has since improved during April 2009. Total cash costs rose 11% to $1,018/oz. The adjusted gross loss
narrowed to $17m from $58m the previous quarter.
The LTIFR improved to 0.41 (0.80).
AUSTRALIA
Sunrise Dam’s gold production rose 15% to 98,000oz due to higher grades, principally from the
underground stopes at Cosmo and the Western Shear Zone. In the open pit, the first significant volumes of
ore from the North Wall Cutback were mined. Installation of piping and infrastructure for the paste fill plant
continued. A total of 505m of underground capital development and 1,169m of operational development were
completed during the quarter. Total cash costs rose 20% to A$865/oz ($574/oz), largely because of stockpile
movements. Adjusted gross profit was A$18m, ($12m) compared with A$13m ($9m) in the previous quarter.
The LTIFR was 2.54 (0.00).
SOUTH AMERICA
At Cerro Vanguardia (92.5% attributable), production fell 16% to 47,000oz because of planned declines in
yield and volume. Total cash costs fell 14% to $400/oz as a result of: lower expenses related to mining and
vehicle maintenance; lower technical-consultancy costs; depreciation of the Argentinean peso; and stockpile
movements. Those benefits were partially offset by lower gold production, decreased silver by-product
contribution and higher contractor costs. Adjusted gross profit was $11m compared with $2m the previous
quarter.
The LTIFR was 6.32 (3.49).
AngloGold Ashanti Brasil Mineração’s production dropped 18% to 68,000oz. Lower-grade stopes were
mined at Cuiabá, partly offset by higher tonnage output. Total cash costs rose 23% to $288/oz, primarily due
to the decline in production, a lower acid by-product credit and other provision and allocation adjustments.
Adjusted gross profit was $29m, compared with $27m the previous quarter.
The LTIFR was 2.51 (3.24).
background image
At Serra Grande (50% attributable), gold production fell 54% to 11,000oz, due mainly to an anticipated drop
in overall grade following lower ore production from the quartz veins at Mine III. Output was further impacted
by commissioning of the Plant Expansion Project. The benefits of the project will be evident through the
balance of the year. Total cash costs rose 92% to $499/oz, principally due to lower gold production, stockpile
movements and additional costs of consumables and power to meet the earlier commissioning of the plant.
Adjusted gross profit was $4m compared with $7m the previous quarter.
The LTIFR was 1.52 (1.46).
NORTH AMERICA
Cripple Creek & Victor’s gold production fell 28% to 56,000oz, due to pad-phase timing. Total cash costs
increased 4% to $336/oz, due mainly to increased lime and cyanide applications, greater explosive volumes
and higher royalty costs. This increase was partially offset by lower inflation and reagent costs. Adjusted
gross profit rose to $23m, compared with $20m in the previous quarter, due to the higher gold price.
The LTIFR improved to 4.52 (9.81).

Review of the gold market
Gold price movements and investment markets
Gold continued to benefit from the global financial crisis and in the first quarter of 2009, recorded the second-
highest spot price ever, sustaining the strong trend which started midway through the fourth quarter of 2008.
The average price during the period under review was $909/oz, a 14% increase on the $795/oz average
price in the final quarter of 2008.
This performance occurred within a period of relative US-dollar strength. Traditionally, the relationship
between the US dollar and the gold price has been inversely correlated. This dislocation of the gold price
and US dollar is an indication of growing risk aversion among investors and a flight to US-dollar assets,
primarily cash and US Treasuries.
At the same time, the continued efforts of monetary authorities to restart lending by adding substantial
liquidity into the banking system has raised concerns among analysts and investors, not simply over the
inflationary effects of such actions but also over certain sovereign credit-ratings. The vulnerability of nations,
even those in Western Europe, was evidenced by the rating downgrades to Spain and Greece during the
quarter.
These concerns were the primary driver of the gold price through the first three months of the year.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in general and the US-listed SPDR Fund in particular, were beneficiaries of
this investment climate. The nine major gold ETFs collectively grew almost 40% to 53Moz from the beginning
of the year to the end of March, 2009. This outstripped the 37% growth in existing ETFs over the whole of
2008 and brings ETF holdings to a significant level in comparison to major Central Bank Holdings.

The speculative community was also invested in gold as evidenced by movements on the COMEX and
CBOT exchanges. This long positioning did not reach the proportions that were seen earlier in 2008 but
under the circumstances remained robust, reaching a high of 22Moz net long.
It is expected that if the US dollar were to weaken, the traditional inverse correlation of the dollar and the
gold price would reassert itself. This would almost certainly be true if the US dollar were to decline on fears
of rising inflation and general currency debasement globally.
Producer hedging
Although no analysis has been published yet, the rate of producer de-hedging is not expected to have been
very different from that of the previous quarter.
background image
Physical demand
Jewellery Sales
As expected, the global financial crisis has affected the retail sector significantly, dampening purchases of
gold jewellery as a luxury item in most countries, particularly in the US, India and the Middle East.
Despite this general trend, demand for gold purchases in China, now the second-largest single market for
gold jewellery, remained stable. The relative buoyancy of the market was assisted by the advent of the
Chinese New Year during the quarter, which is traditionally a peak period for gold-jewellery purchases.
Demand then slowed towards the middle of March, in line with normal seasonal trends.
The US jewellery market has been badly affected by the global financial crisis. Although first-quarter retail-
sales figures are typically low following the Christmas period, the current spending crunch along with the
historically high price of gold, has made gold-jewellery purchases difficult for lower-end consumers.
Retailers, including mass-market companies like WalMart, have responded by cutting back on stock levels of
gold jewellery. Current market conditions are leading to consolidation throughout the value chain.
Financial instability also impacted negatively on the Middle East market, with local retail trades and the
tourist sector affected. The second quarter may, however, bring some recovery as it is usually the heaviest
spending season in the Middle East with the traditional wedding season typically accounting for some 60% of
annual gold jewellery demand.
The Egyptian market, which performed strongly in 2008 saw a decrease in demand due to more difficult
economic conditions. In Turkey, where the lira has depreciated by 30% against the US dollar since the
financial crisis began, the local gold price has increased and consumption declined. The US market typically
accounts for a large proportion of gold-jewellery exports from Turkey and the country’s export trade was
therefore significantly affected. Both the Egyptian and the Gulf markets reported high levels of scrap sales
during the quarter, a result of more difficult economic circumstances, a flight to cash and rising gold prices.
India, which accounts for approximately 30% of global jewellery consumption, experienced a slow start to
2009. The increase in gold prices, along with an increasingly conservative attitude towards spending,
dampened demand in the sector. Some recovery may, however, take place during the second quarter,
particularly in the rural areas, in response to the harvest and the traditional gold buying festival of Akshaya
Tritia.
As would be expected under the current financial circumstances, the Indian market also saw the increased
use of scrap gold in the fabrication of new gold jewellery, as consumers preferred to use existing metal to
modernize their jewellery rather than make new purchases. The market also trended towards the sale of
lighter-weight products which consume less gold and can be retailed at lower price points.
Investment Market
As noted previously, investment demand in ETFs was significant during the first quarter of the year, with total
holdings once again reaching record levels. Underlying sentiment relating to the gold market and the role of
gold as a safe-haven asset contributed to good demand for investment products, where cash was available.
In India, for example, a recently launched scheme to retail gold medallions through post offices has been
quite successful.
Despite the weakness of the retail market for gold jewellery in the US, demand for gold bars and coins
remained strong, while supply shortages became more serious with the US Mint apparently unwilling to
invest in new production capacity.
Central Bank Sales
Sales under the Central Bank Gold Agreement remain far below the available quotas. Post quarter-end, the
G20 summit communiqué signalled a strong intention to sell IMF gold in order to provide concessional and
flexible finance for the poorest countries over the next 2-3 years. As noted in previous reports to
shareholders, gold sales by the IMF would still require congressional approval and are expected to take
place in the framework of the Central Bank Agreement.

Exploration
Total exploration expenditure during the first quarter, inclusive of expenditure at equity accounted joint
ventures, was $31m ($15m brownfields, $16m greenfields), compared with $38m ($16m brownfields, $22m
greenfields) the previous quarter.
BROWNFIELDS EXPLORATION
In South Africa, surface drilling continued in the Project Zaaiplaats area, with MMB5 intersecting the Jersey
Fault at 3,276.83m. A deflection to the Vaal Reef was started at 2,600m. MZA9 is currently re-drilling from
1,654.7m after in-hole complications. The first reef intersection is only expected in the fourth quarter. MGR8
advanced 1,123m to 2,718.83m.
In the Moab North area, Borehole MCY4 did not progress during the quarter due to in-hole problems.
In the West Rand, a new rig and crew were established on the old UD51 site. Rigging is underway and
drilling is expected to commence by the end of April. The hole will be drilled vertically to intersect
prospective VCR at about 3,900 metres.
At Iduapriem in Ghana, drilling at Ajopa was completed and no further field activities were conducted. Assay
results are expected early in the next quarter, after which Mineral Resource modelling will commence. At
Obuasi, exploration continued with three holes advancing below 50 level.
In Argentina, at Cerro Vanguardia, the exploration programme continued with 4,095.1m of Mineral Resource
delineation drilling and 3,151m of reconnaissance drilling. The environmental approval was obtained for the
El Volcan project area and initial exploration started.
In Australia, at Boddington, three rigs were employed on the BGM Mineral Resource conversion and near-
mine exploration diamond-drilling programme. During the quarter, approximately 17,818m were drilled in
29 holes.
At Sunrise Dam, exploration focussed on infill drilling within the existing Mega Pit and continued extension of
the underground Mineral-Resources. The drilling within the Mega Pit will confirm whether the potential exists
for an internal cutback, which becomes economically viable at higher gold prices.
During the period, 46 diamond drill holes were drilled for 9,604.8m. The in-pit drilling has confirmed that the
mineralisation beneath the Sunrise shear and Midway shear zones continues up-dip and may provide the
opportunity for an internal cutback on the eastern side of the Mega Pit. Further underground drilling has
identified extensions to the high-grade Cosmo, Astro and GQ lodes. Additional mineralisation around the
Dolly lode has also been delineated.
In addition, exploration for satellite pits in the surrounding district continued at the Golden Delicious and
Wilga (Chalice 100%; AGA Earning 75%) prospects.
In Brazil, at the Córrego do Sítio Sulphide Project, drilling continued with 6,700.1m being drilled from surface
and 1,662.2m drilled from underground. At the Lamego project, 5,152.3m of surface drilling and 2,331.7m
underground drilling was completed.
At Siguiri in Guinea, exploration focused on the in-fill drilling within the combined pits preliminary models.
Targets drill tested were adjacent to and between the Bidini, Sanu-Tinti, Sorofe, Tubani, Kalamagna and
Kami pits, where a combined 267 RC holes (34,051m) were drilled.
background image
Diamond drilling has commenced to investigate the fresh rock potential below Kosise Pit, where the oxides
have been mined out and at Bidini, where mining has been completed in the main pit. Extension drilling to
the Sintroko Project, based on anomalous soil-sampling and previous drilling, was done to the north, east
and west of the main deposit, (17,620m Air Core, 189 holes). The drilling has indicated possible extensions
to the north and west of the Sintroko deposit. All results are expected to be available for interpretation during
the second quarter.
Geochemical soil sampling continued in Block 1 to the north and north east of current mining operations and
east of the Sintroko Project. Cumulative results have not identified any new anomalies at this stage. Drill
plans are in place to investigate geochemical anomalies to the north and northwest of the Séguélen deposit
identified from sampling in 2008.
At Geita in Tanzania, exploration continued at Star and Comet where four diamond and four RC holes were
drilled in order to increase confidence in the mineral resource. Assay results indicate consistent gold
mineralisation.
Aircore results for Matandani NW proved to be disappointing and at Nyamalembo, data interpretation is
ongoing. Infill drilling at Kalondwa Hill was completed and 1,892m was drilled. Geological interpretation is
ongoing as assay results are awaited.
At Morila, in Mali, work continued on refining the deposit-emplacement model, with the reduced intrusion-
related gold system (RIRGS) favoured. Drilling below Pit4N and Pit 4S intersected ore-grade mineralisation
within predicted zones. However, extensive granodiorite occurrences have downgraded the potential for
significant ore tonnages. Drilling is ongoing.
At Sadiola and Yatela, exploration activity focused on drilling of three areas. At KE17, a gravity-low adjacent
to the escarpment and to the southeast of Yatela, a program commenced that is aimed at verifying the
continuity of the mineralisation intersected during the last round of drilling and to determine mineralisation
plunge under the escarpment. Fifteen holes were completed and an assessment will be made in the next
quarter regarding further follow-up drilling. At YG1, a gravity-low target located to the southwest of Yatela pit,
was tested with 9 holes. Results are pending. At YG2, another gravity-low target located to the south of
Yatela pit and east of YG1, 12 holes were drilled. Results are pending, although field evidence suggests no
further work will be required.
At Navachab in Namibia, exploration at Gecko continues. Three diamond holes totalling 561m were drilled
and are aimed at improving the understanding of the structural setting. The Gecko Mineral Resource model
was completed and has been handed over to the mine-planning team. Exploration around the Main pit
focused on expanding the Mineral Resource base by extending Indicated and Inferred mineralisation limits
on NP2 FW and MDM/US HW sheeted-vein sets to the north. A total of 3,364m of diamond drilling was
completed in the quarter. One infill and ten down-plunge holes at a total of 2,507m were drilled in the
NP2 FW-vein target and a total of 857m were drilled in the MDM/US HW vein target. Assays are awaited.
At Cripple Creek & Victor in the United States, drilling continues to evaluate the Squaw Gulch and North
Cresson areas. Encouraging intercepts are under review. Drilling for the High Grade Study was focused
along the east wall of the Cresson deposit. Data is accumulating from the current drill program and will be
used to predict the grades and tonnages of high-grade zones that will be encountered during surface mining
operations.

GREENFIELDS EXPLORATION
Greenfields exploration activities were undertaken in Australia, the Americas, China, SE Asia, Sub-Saharan
Africa, Russia and the DRC during the first quarter of 2009. A total of 42,161m of reverse circulation (RC)
and aircore drilling (AC) was completed at existing priority targets and used to delineate new targets in
Australia.
In Australia, on the Tropicana Joint Venture, (AngloGold Ashanti 70%, Independence Group 30%)
prefeasibility studies on the Tropicana Gold Project are continuing and completion of the study is scheduled
for the second quarter of 2009. Technical studies for the project are substantially completed with financial
analysis to define the optimal project to be evaluated during feasibility study.
Draft environmental impact assessment documents have been submitted and are currently under review by
relevant government agencies. It is anticipated public review of the proposed project will occur mid-year.
Approvals for the project should be obtained by the second quarter 2010, providing there are no substantive
public appeals or delays through the environmental assessment process.
In parallel with the prefeasibility study, exploration in the Tropicana Joint Venture (JV) has focussed on
exploration targets within trucking distance of the Tropicana Gold Project.
During the quarter, a total of 916 AC holes were drilled for 34,242 metres and 50 RC holes for 7,919 metres.
Auger sampling continued across areas adjacent to the Tropicana-Havana deposit and nearly 8,000km of
aeromagnetic survey was flown.
Best results for the quarter came from RC drilling intercepts at Havana South including 15m @ 3.1g/t Au
from 126m, 10m @ 4.14g/t Au from 130m and 13m @ 2.34g/t Au from 73m. These results follow up
significant results from 2008, and confirm mineralisation outside of previous pit shells and should extend the
current resource.
Significant AC drilling results were returned from Stromboli including 4m @ 0.39g/t Au from 12m.
The Viking project which is approximately 8,300 square-kilometre in size, is located southwest of the
Tropicana JV, possibly within the same geological setting that hosts the Tropicana deposit.
Systematic surface geochemical-sampling commenced with 3,300 samples collected. Additional and follow-
up sampling is scheduled in the second quarter.
In Colombia, Phase I and Phase II Greenfield exploration was completed by AngloGold Ashanti and by joint
venture partners B2Gold and Mineros S.A. No drilling was undertaken by AngloGold Ashanti or its JV
partners during the quarter. In-house airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys were flown during the
quarter for 1,472.53 line kilometres over the La Colosa north, Gramalote and Cisneros prospects. The total
area under exploration in Colombia at the end of the quarter was 30,298 square kilometres.

At the La Quebradona porphyry copper-gold district (49% B2Gold, 51% AngloGold Ashanti), AngloGold
Ashanti has exercised its option to control 51% of the project.
Generative Greenfield exploration programmes are ongoing in Colombia predominantly utilising stream
sediment geochemistry.
In the remainder of the Americas, AngloGold Ashanti continued to compile and review geology, mineral
potential and third-party opportunities, primarily in Brazil and Canada. Prospective belts have been identified
and ranked, with continued focus on the merging of available technical and non-technical datasets over the
top-seven belts to further refine targets, priorities and their potential availability for Greenfield exploration
programmes.
In China, progress on the Jinchanggou project was reviewed. As a result, a recommendation has been
made to the board of the Gansu Longxing Minerals Company to discontinue exploration on the project.
Alternative business outcomes for the project/joint venture are currently being considered.
In Southeast Asia, the grant of the Mapawa title in the Philippines has proceeded to the Secretary of Mines
for final ratification. Project-generation activities and evaluation of opportunities are ongoing in a number of
other areas in the region.
In Russia the dissolution of the incorporated joint venture with Polymetal is in progress, focused on selling
the two exploration and four mining licences held by JV companies. A new, unincorporated alliance with
Polymetal has commenced, aimed at the joint identification and development of more advanced
opportunities anywhere in Russia and potentially in the former CIS. AngloGold Ashanti considers Russia to
be of strategic future importance and would like to develop a profitable operation with their local partner, in
order to create a platform for future growth.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, work during the first quarter concentrated on project generation and specific project
reviews in Central and Western Africa.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, no drilling took place during the quarter. A high priority is to
improve the interpretation of the mylonite zone and associated wireframes of the Mongbwalu geological
model.
Assay results were received from drilling completed at Adidi South late last year. The best intersection
received was 6m @ 4.75g/t Au from 151m. A review of all regional exploration data at the Bunia West, Petsi,
Mont Tsi, Camp 3 and Lodjo prospects was instigated during the quarter.

Hedge position
As at 31 March 2009, the net delta hedge position was 4.86Moz or 151t (at 31 December 2008: 5.22Moz or
162t), representing a further reduction of 0.36Moz for the quarter. The total commitments of the hedge book
as at 31 March 2009 was 5.84Moz or 182t, a reduction of 0.15Moz from the position as at
31 December 2008.
The marked-to-market value of all hedge transactions making up the hedge positions was a negative
$2.48bn (negative R23.84bn), increasing by $0.02bn (R0.59bn) over the quarter. This value was based on a
gold price of $919.80/oz, exchange rates of R9.59/$ and A$/$0.69 and the prevailing market interest rates
and volatilities at that date.
The company’s received price for the first quarter was $858/oz, 6% below the average spot price for the
same period.
As at 13 May 2009, the marked-to-market value of the hedge book was a negative $2.64bn (negative
R22.13bn), based on a gold price of $925.80/oz and exchange rates of R8.37/$ and A$/$0.77 and the
prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at the time.
These marked-to-market valuations are in no way predictive of the future value of the hedge position, nor of
the future impact on the revenue of the company. The valuation represents the theoretical cost of closing all
hedge contracts at the time of valuation, at market prices and rates available at that time.

segmental information reported by Anglogold Ashanti. Comparative information has been presented on a consistent basis. AngloGold
Ashanti’s operating segments are being reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the
Executive Management team, collectively identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Individual members of the Executive
Management team are responsible for geographic regions of the business.

(1) Includes capital commitments relating to equity accounted joint ventures.
Liquidity and capital resources:
To service the above capital commitments and other operational requirements, the group is dependent on existing cash resources, cash generated from
operations and borrowing facilities.
Cash generated from operations is subject to operational, market and other risks. Distributions from operations may be subject to foreign investment and
exchange control laws and regulations and the quantity of foreign exchange available in offshore countries. In addition distributions from joint ventures are
subject to the relevant board approval.
The credit facilities and other financing arrangements contain financial covenants and other similar undertakings. To the extent that external borrowings are
required, the groups covenant performance indicates that existing financing facilities will be available to meet the above commitments. To the extent that
any of the financing facilities mature in the near future, the group believes that these facilities can be refinanced.
13.    Contingent liabilities
AngloGold Ashanti’s material contingent liabilities at 31 March 2009 are detailed below:
Groundwater pollution – South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti has identified a number of groundwater pollution sites at its
operations in South Africa and has investigated a number of different technologies and methodologies that could
possibly be used to remediate the pollution plumes. Numerous scientific, technical and legal reports have been
produced and remediation of the polluted soil and groundwater is the subject of continued research. Subject to the
technology being developed as a proven remediation technique, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.
Deep groundwater pollution – South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti has identified a flooding and future pollution risk
posed by deep groundwater, due to the interconnected nature of operations in the West Wits and Vaal River
operations in South Africa. The Company is involved in task teams and other structures to find long-term sustainable
solutions for this risk, together with industry partners and government. As there is too little information for the accurate
estimate of a liability, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.
Soil and Sediment Pollution – South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti identified offsite pollution impacts in the West Wits
area, resulting from a long period of gold and uranium mining activity by a number of mining companies as well as
millennia of weathering of natural reef outcrops in the catchment areas. Investigations are being conducted but no
reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.
Provision of surety – South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti has provided sureties in favour of a lender on a gold loan
facility with its affiliate Oro Africa (Pty) Ltd and one of its subsidiaries to a maximum value of R100m ($10m). The
suretyship agreements have a termination notice period of 90 days.
Sales tax on gold deliveries – Brazil – Mineração Serra Grande S.A. (MSG), the operator of the Crixas mine in Brazil,
has received two tax assessments from the State of Goiás related to payments of sales taxes on gold deliveries for
export, including one assessment for the period between February 2004 and June 2005 and the other for the period
between July 2005 and May 2006. The tax authorities maintain that whenever a taxpayer exports gold mined in the
state of Goiás, through a branch located in a different Brazilian State, it must obtain an authorisation from the Goiás
State Treasury by means of a Special Regime Agreement (Termo de Acordo re Regime Especial – TARE). The MSG
operation is co-owned with Kinross Gold Corporation. AngloGold Ashanti Brasil Mineração Ltda. manages the
operation and its attributable share of the first assessment is approximately $35m. Although MSG requested the TARE
in early 2004, the TARE, which authorised the remittance of gold to the company’s branch in Minas Gerais specifically
for export purposes, was only granted and executed in May 2006.
background image
In November 2006 the administrative council’s second chamber ruled in favour of MSG and fully cancelled the tax
liability related to the first period. The State of Goiás has appealed to the full board of the State of Goiás tax
administrative council. The second assessment was issued by the State of Goiás in October 2006 on the same
grounds as the first one, and the attributable share of the assessment is approximately $21m. The company believes
both assessments are in violation of Federal legislation on sales taxes.
VAT Disputes – Brazil – MSG received a tax assessment in October 2003 from the State of Minas Gerais related to
sales taxes on gold allegedly returned from the branch in Minas Gerais to the company head office in the State of
Goiás. The tax administrators rejected the company’s appeal against the assessment. The company is now appealing
the dismissal of the case. The company’s attributable share of the assessment is approximately $6m.
Tax Disputes – Brazil – Morro Velho, AngloGold Ashanti Brasil Mineração, Mineração Serra Grande and São Bento
Mineração are involved in disputes with tax authorities. These disputes involve federal tax assessments including
income tax, royalties, social contributions and annual property tax based on ownership of properties outside of urban
perimeters (ITR). The amount involved is approximately $14m.
14.    Concentration of risk
There is a concentration of risk in respect of reimbursable value added tax and fuel duties from the Malian
government:
•      Reimbursable value added tax due from the Malian government amounts to an attributable $25m at 31 March
2009 (31 December 2008: attributable $27m). The last audited value added tax return was for the period ended
30 June 2008 and at the balance sheet date an attributable $22m was audited and $3m is still subject to audit.
•      Reimbursable fuel duties from the Malian government amounts to an attributable $4m at 31 March 2009
(31 December 2008: attributable $5m). Fuel duty refund claims are required to be submitted before 31 January of
the following year and are subject to authorisation by firstly the Department of Mining and secondly the Custom
and Excise authorities. An attributable $4m is still subject to authorisation by the authorities. With effect from
February 2006 fuel duties are no longer payable to the Malian government.
The government of Mali is a shareholder in all the Malian entities. Management of Sadiola and Yatela have entered into
a protocol with the Government of Mali that provides for the repayment of the outstanding audited amounts due to
Sadiola and Yatela. The amounts outstanding at Sadiola and Yatela have been discounted at 18% based on the
provisions of the protocol. The amounts outstanding at Morila have been discounted to their present value at a rate of
6.0%.
Post quarter-end Sadiola received an amount of attributable $11m from the Malian government.
There is a concentration of risk in respect of reimbursable value added tax and fuel duties from the Tanzanian
government:
•      Reimbursable value added tax due from the Tanzanian government amounts to $16m at 31 March 2009
(31 December 2008: $16m). The last audited value added tax return was for the period ended 30 November 2008
and at the balance sheet date was $16m. The outstanding amounts at Morila have been discounted to their
present value at a rate of 7.8%.
•      Reimbursable fuel duties from the Tanzanian government amounts to $39m at 31 March 2009 (31 December
2008: $37m). Fuel duty claims are required to be submitted after consumption of the related fuel and are subject to
authorisation by the Customs and Excise authorities. Claims for refund of fuel duties amounting to $33m have
been audited and lodged with the Customs and Excise authorities, whilst claims for refund of $6m have not yet
been lodged. The outstanding amounts have been discounted to their present value at a rate of 7.8%.

15.    Change in account policy
Effective 1 January 2008, the group changed its accounting policy for the accounting of jointly controlled entities. In
terms of IAS31 “Interests in Joint Ventures” the group previously proportionately consolidated jointly controlled
entities. During 2008 the group decided to change its accounting policy to account for these entities using the equity
method, the alternative treatment permitted by IFRS. Management has concluded that the change in accounting
policy will result in more reliable and relevant information and is in accordance with international trends in
accounting. Comparative information is this report has been restated in order to reflect the adoption of the revised
accounting policy for the accounting of jointly controlled entities.
16.    Announcements
On 28 January 2009, AngloGold Ashanti announced that it had agreed to sell to Newmont Mining Corporation, its
33.33% joint venture interest in the Boddington Gold Mine for an aggregate consideration of up to approximately
$1.1 billion, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions.
On 17 February 2009, AngloGold Ashanti entered into an agreement with Simmer and Jack Mines Limited, to sell its
Tau Lekoa Mine and the adjacent project areas. The effective date of the sale will occur on the later of 1 January 2010
or the first day in the calendar month following the fulfilment of all conditions precedent.
On 9 April 2009, AngloGold Ashanti announced changes to its board. Mr R E Bannerman and Mr J H Mensah are to
retire from the board at the close of the annual general meeting to be held on 15 May 2009, while Prof W L Nkuhlu
resigned from the board on 5 May 2009, following the filing with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission of its 2008 annual report on Form 20-F.
17.    Dividend
Final Dividend No. 105 of 50 South African cents of approximately 3.518 UK pence or approximately 6.565 cedis
per share was paid to registered shareholders on 13 March 2009, while a dividend of 1.546 Australian cents per
CHESS Depositary Interest (CDI) was paid on the same day. On 16 March 2009, a dividend of 0.06565 cedis per
Ghanaian Depositary Share (GhDS) was paid to holders thereof. Each CDI represents one-fifth of an ordinary
share, and 100 GhDSs represents one ordinary share. A dividend was paid to holders of American Depositary
Receipts (ADRs) on 23 March 2009 at a rate of 4.9999
0 US cents per American Depositary share (ADS). Each
ADS represents one ordinary share.
In addition, directors declared Dividend No. E5 of 25 South African cents per E ordinary share payable to employees
participating in the Bokamoso ESOP and Izingwe Holdings (Proprietary) Limited. These dividends were paid on
13 March 2009.

Rounding of figures may result in computational discrepancies.
From time to time AngloGold Ashanti may publicly disclose certain "Non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of its financial presentations, earnings releases, earnings
conference calls and otherwise.
- The unrealised fair value change in contracts that are still open at the reporting date, as well as, the unwinding of the historic marked-to-market value of the position
settled in the period;
The group utilises certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing its business and may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful
comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the
reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measure of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies use.

Calculated on the basic weighted average number of ordinary shares.
- Settled positions: The change in fair value from the previous reporting date or date of recognition (if later) through to the date of settlement.

(Gain) loss on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts in the income statement comprise the change in fair value of all non-hedge derivatives and other
commodity contracts as follows:
- Investment in hedge restructure transaction: During the hedge restructure in December 2004 and March 2005 quarters, $83m and $69m in cash was injected respectively into
the hedge book in these quarters to increase the value of long-dated contracts. The entire investment in long-dated derivatives (certain of which have now matured), for the
purposes of the adjustment to earnings, will only be taken into account when the realised portion of long-dated non-hedge derivatives are settled, and not when the short-term
contracts were settled;

Certain statements made in this communication, including, without limitation, those concerning AngloGold Ashanti’s strategy to reduce its gold hedging position including the extent
and effects of the reduction, 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 completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of
AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production projects and completion of acquisitions and dispositions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources, and expenditure and the
outcome and consequences of any pending litigation proceedings, contain certain forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, economic performance and
financial condition. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements 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,

prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. For a discussion of such factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report for the year ended 31
December 2008, which was distributed to shareholders on 27 March 2009 and the company’s annual report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the
