March 2016 Market update - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com
2016

FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW
First quarter overview
AngloGold Ashanti delivered another consistent operating and financial performance for the first quarter of 2016, with a
further reduction in debt levels, and solid levels of free cash generation despite weaker production in the period. The
result was also achieved despite lower grades, which were offset by tonnage improvements in key areas.
Free cash flow for the first quarter of the year was $70m, a strong improvement to the free cash outflow of $40m in the
first quarter of 2015. Cash inflow from operating activities was positive at $227m, 19% more than the $190m achieved in
the first quarter of 2015, despite both lower production and a lower gold price received. The strong performance
was due mainly to strong cost management and benefits from weaker local currencies against the US dollar,
principally in South Africa and Brazil. This is lower when compared to the $383m cash inflow from operating
activities recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly due to working capital movements and lower production.
Production was 861,000oz at an average total cash cost of $702/oz, compared to 969,000oz at $734/oz in the first
quarter of 2015, which included 41,000oz from the Cripple Creek & Victor (CC&V) mine, which was sold last year,
and 17,000oz from the Obuasi mine, which has now ceased production. While production from South Africa remained
relatively flat year-on-year at 236,000oz, production from the International operations was lower due to the
a b o v e m e n t i o n e d C C& V s al e a n d cessation of stockpile production from t h e Obuasi mine, as well as lower-grade
production from the Tropicana mine. At Kibali, challenges were encountered whilst ramping up both streams to run on
sulphides as per the design specification, resulting in a drop in recoveries. This was compounded by a bearing failure
on one of the ball mills. Costs improved relative to the first quarter of last year, benefitting from continued traction
from cost saving initiatives and weaker local currencies, which helped offset increases at Tropicana and Kibali.
“We again generated significant free cash flow despite the lower gold price, which shows the continued success of our
self-help measures to reduce debt by improving margins,” Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer of
AngloGold Ashanti, said. “Notwithstanding our strong cost performance, we’re redoubling our efforts to ensure we
continue to capture as much margin as possible.”
All-in sustaining costs (AISC) were $860/oz, a 7% improvement year-on-year, which reflects, among other improvements,
a 4% year-on-year reduction in total cash costs, 18% lower sustaining capital expenditure and a 38% reduction in
corporate and marketing costs. All-in costs were 8% lower at $924/oz.
Total capital expenditure (including equity accounted entities and discontinued operations) during the first quarter was
$128m, compared with $195m (including $27m for CC&V) in the first quarter of 2015, and $223m in the fourth
quarter of 2015. Of the total capital spent, project capital expenditure during the quarter amounted to $19m. Capital
expenditure at continuing operations is expected to increase, particularly over the next two quarters, with slower-than-
anticipated spending in South Africa in the first quarter of the year, principally due the Easter public holidays resulting
in fewer working days.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Adjusted EBITDA) were $378m, compared with
$402m in the first quarter of 2015, mainly due to lower earnings as a result of a 3% decline in the realised gold price
from $1,217/oz to $1,185/oz and an 8% reduction in ounces sold over this period. Adjusted EBITDA for the previous
quarter was $388m.
At the end of the first quarter of 2016, net debt was lower at $2.127bn compared to $2.190bn in the previous quarter
and $3.150bn for the same quarter a year ago mainly due to the generation of free cash flow, the proceeds from the
sale of CC&V completed in August 2015, and the subsequent partial tender offer for the 8.5% high yield bonds due in
2020. This reduction in debt has resulted in a net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.47 times, compared with 2.02
times at the end of March 2015. Accordingly, debt levels remain well below the covenant of net debt to Adjusted
EBITDA of 3.5 times under our revolving credit agreements.
The outlook for the full year remains unchanged as follows:
· Production between 3.6Moz to 3.8Moz
· Total cash costs between $680/oz and $720/oz and
· All-in sustaining costs between $900/oz and $960/oz,
assuming average exchange rates against the US dollar of 15.00 (Rand), 4.00 (Brazil Real), 0.70 (Aus$) and
14.90 (Argentina Peso), with oil at $35/bl average for the year, based on market expectations. The impact of the
Savuka section of Tau Tona seismic event on 29 April 2016, is still being evaluated and assessed.
Capital expenditure is anticipated to be between $790m and $850m. Corporate and marketing costs are estimated to
be between $75m and $90m, and expensed exploration and study costs ( including equity accounted investments)
are estimated to be $130m to $150m. Depreciation and amortisation is forecast at $820m and interest and finance
costs are expected to be $190m (income statement) and $175m (cash flow statement).

Safety update
Regrettably, there was a fatality at TauTona mine during the quarter. Section 54 safety stoppages, whereby the entire
operation is shutdown to remediate safety concern, continued to be a source of disruption in South Africa. AngloGold
Ashanti continues to engage with the regulator to find an outcome that will help make further improvements in safety in the
most sustainable and practical way possible.
Subsequent to the quarter end, on 29 April 2016, regrettably there were two fatalities at the Savuka section of Tau Tona
following a series of seismic events.
There were some notable safety successes, including both Mponeng and the Vaal River operations each reaching one-
million shifts without a fatality, whilst our Continental Africa recorded not a single lost-time injury in the three months
through March. Both Continental Africa and the Americas recorded significant safety gains, with AIFR better by 72% and
36% respectively, compared with the end of last year.
The all-injury frequency rate was at 8.44 per million hours worked, compared with 7.66 in the same quarter last year.
Operating highlights
The South Africa region produced 236,000oz at a total cash cost of $786/oz for the quarter ended March 2016 compared
to 239,000oz at a total cash cost of $911/oz for the quarter ended March 2015. Production for the quarter was adversely
impacted by a slow start up post the Christmas holidays, the Easter long weekend which fell in March this year, and
ongoing safety-related stoppages across all operations which continue to affect production. Mponeng showed a strong
recovery, with production up by more than a third to 59,000oz, and all-in sustaining costs down 28% to $930/oz.
Seismic activity and a fatality at the TauTona mine also had a negative impact on production during the quarter, resulting
in the need to modify secondary support standards of all development ends. The mine, however, has now resumed
normal operations.
South Africa’s total cash cost was down 14% compared to the same quarter last year, benefitting from the weaker
exchange rate despite lower volumes, higher wages and power prices and re-instatement of Moab Khotsong employees
(who are part of the Association of Mining Construction Union (AMCU)) following the Labour Court ruling at the end of last
year.
The Continental Africa region produced 305,000oz at a total cash cost of $719/oz for the quarter ended March 2016
compared to 351,000oz at a total cash cost of $714/oz for the quarter ended March 2015. At Kibali, the plan to ramp up
treatment of harder sulphide ore saw challenges resulting in lower recovered grades and production. Morila’s production
was 14,000oz lower in line with the mine plan. The Obuasi mine produced 16,000oz less year-on-year given the
conclusion of production from stockpiled material. Despite lower production, the region saw strong cost management due
to ongoing initiatives targeted at maintaining or lowering direct operating costs and input costs, particularly fuel.
The Americas region produced 196,000oz at a total cash cost of $516/oz for the quarter ended March 2016 compared to
195,000oz at a total cash cost of $603/oz for the quarter ended March 2015. The region delivered a solid performance as
a result of a marginal increased contribution from Brazil while Argentina production remained stable.
Brazil’s production increase was mainly driven by a 6% improvement in output from the Serra Grande mine compared to
the same quarter last year, due to both higher tonnage and feed grade from mining high grade blocks at Mina III and
Pequisão. At Mineração, Córrego do Sítio delivered stable performance from both the oxide and sulphide operations,
while Cuiabá mine was affected due to delayed access to certain high grade stopes at Serrotinho L7, given geo-technical
and ground support issues. These are being addressed and we expect to catch up and recover lost production in coming
quarters.
Americas’ total cash cost was down 14% compared to the same quarter last year driven by continued strong cost
management and saving initiatives and the depreciation of the local currencies against the US dollar, despite
unfavourable inventory movements and inflationary pressure. In Argentina, costs were also favourably impacted by export
benefits (reimbursement from the Government for exports channeled through Patagonia ports) and higher by-product
sold, partially offset by salary increases in February as agreed with the union, the union strike in January and higher heap
leaching costs and higher amortisation from stripping assets.
In Australia, production was 124,000oz at a total cash cost of $814/oz for the quarter ended March 2016 compared to
143,000oz at a total cash cost of $679/oz for the quarter ended March 2015. Australia’s total cash cost increased by 20%
compared to the same quarter last year mainly due to lower production as well as movements in stockpiles inventory.
Tropicana’s lower production during the quarter was due to a 21% decrease in the head grade, consistent with the mine
plan and the mine’s grade streaming strategy. Production was also impacted by mining schedule delays, which
contributed to lower head grades from the Havana pit with some benches deferred to the second quarter. In addition, it is
expected that approximately 300,000t of stockpiled ore will be used in coming quarters to supplement the mill feed while
the waste stripping of the Tropicana Pit cutback is being carried out.
At Sunrise Dam, costs were favourably impacted by inventory movement and higher production, while at Tropicana
stockpile inventory movements accounted for $120/oz, consistent with the mine plan.
