Certain statements contained in this document, other than statements of
historical fact, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic
outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices,
production, cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, cost savings and other
operating results, return on equity, productivity improvements, growth
prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti's operations, individually or in the
aggregate, including the achievement of project milestones, commencement and
completion 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
expenditures and the outcome and consequences of any potential or pending
litigation or regulatory proceedings or environmental, health and safety
issues, are forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti's
operations, economic performance and financial condition. These forward-looking
statements or forecasts involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause AngloGold Ashanti's actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. Although
AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements and forecasts 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, changes in economic, social and
political and market conditions, the success of business and operating
initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government
actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations in gold prices and
exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, and
business and operational risk management. For a discussion of such risk
factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report on Form 20-F for the year
ended December 31, 2013 that was filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") on 14 April 2014. These factors are not necessarily
all of the important factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti's actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material
adverse effects on future results. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. AngloGold Ashanti
undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the
extent required by applicable law. All subsequent written or oral
forward-looking statements attributable to AngloGold Ashanti or any person
acting on its behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements herein.
