completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production projects and the
completion of acquisitions and dispositions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources and capital expenditure and the outcome and
consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings or environmental issues, are forward-looking statements or

statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements or forecasts are
reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from

actions, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. For a discussion of certain of these
and other factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2011, which was distributed to shareholders on
