Financial and Operating Report
OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER
AngloGold Ashanti continued to make progress in the second quarter on its five
key business objectives, namely: improving safety and sustainability; enhancing
financial flexibility; optimising overhead and operating costs and capital
expenditure; improving the quality of its portfolio; and maintaining long-term
optionality in the business.
Strong performance across each of these objectives supported the key strategic
objective of sustainably improving cash flow and returns. Despite a 9% lower
gold price in the three months to June 30, compared with the same period a year
earlier, strong business improvements were made on all key metrics. Gold
production rose 17% year-on-year to 1,098,000oz, which was ahead of guidance.
Total cash costs declined by 7% from a year earlier to $836/oz, despite ongoing
inflationary pressure in all operating jurisdictions. This was at the lower end
of the guidance range. The operating result was assisted by a positive
production performance from the South Africa Region in particular, as well as
first-time second-quarter contributions from the new Tropicana and Kibali
mines. All elements of the business have maintained a sharp focus on cost
controls to help drive further productivity gains.
Expenditure on corporate and marketing costs and exploration and evaluation
costs decreased by 65% and 58%, respectively year-on-year, helping drive
all-in-sustaining costs down by 19% to $1,060/oz. These fundamental
improvements together helped drive a 140% improvement in cash flow from
operating activities. On the back of these strong cash flows and ongoing cost
containment, net debt declined further, from $3.105bn, to $2.994bn. The key
ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA declined to 1.73 times. AngloGold Ashanti
agreed two new, five-year revolving credit facilities with its syndicate of
banks -- $1bn and A$500m - replacing existing facilities. The new RCFs extend
maturities and carry more favourable financial covenant ratios of 3.5 times
Total Net Financial Indebtedness : EBITDA (as defined in the RCF's), further
improving financial flexibility.
This slate of operating and financial achievements was all made against the
backdrop of a record safety performance. The company recorded no fatalities for
the quarter, for the third time in its history and the first time since 2010.
Several operations passed key milestones and records were set on key safety
metrics.
"We're on track to meet our targeted savings in operating and overhead costs -
all while delivering production growth and a record safety result," Srinivasan
Venkatakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer of AngloGold Ashanti, said. "We're
making hard decisions as we focus on free cash flow and returns for
shareholders through active portfolio management, discipline, and strong
leadership."

SAFETY
The second quarter passed without a fatality at any of the company's
operations, the third time in AngloGold Ashanti that this achievement has been
recorded, and this being the first time in almost four years. The fatality
injury frequency rate across the business improved another 20% from the record
figures posted at the end of 2013. The safety result reflects an exceptionally
strong performance across all regions, with South Africa in particular - which
posted strong year-on-year improvements across all key safety metrics -- making
important strides toward our goal of zero harm. Eleven operating units ended
the quarter without a single lost time injury and of those, eight have that
same achievement for the year to date. And importantly, more than 2,200 fewer
lost work days have been reported so far this year, relative to the same period
in 2013, underscoring the fact that safety improvements are not only the right
thing to pursue for an ethical standpoint, but are important from a business
perspective, too.
Notwithstanding this, our focus on safety continues particularly where we have
seen success on visible leadership, technology application, hazard management
and ongoing focus on training, Major Hazard Management through identification
and monitoring of critical controls and High Potential Incidents with a view of
enhancing organisational learning and institutionalising change in order to
further improve our safety record progress going forward.
"The gains made on safety are the most important indicators of progress for
us." Venkat said. "But we recognise that complacency is the enemy, and we need
to continue our intense focus on employing technology and improving our
behaviours at every level, to gain more ground."
FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE REVIEW
The reported adjusted headline (AHE) loss of $4m included a number of once off
events such as closure and termination costs, stockpile and consumable stores
provisions and the initial retrenchments at Obuasi as detailed in the table
below.
Second-quarter normalised adjusted headline earnings amounted to $76m, or 19 US
cents per share, in the three months ended to 30 June 2014, compared with
normalised adjusted headline earnings of $9m, or 2 US cents per share a year
earlier, the second quarter of 2013. The previous quarter, normalised adjusted
headline earnings were $119m, or 29 US cents per share.

The second quarter 2014 normalised adjusted headline earnings of $76m compared
to adjusted headline earnings in the second quarter of 2013 of $9m, were
affected mainly by the higher production sold ($152m) and weaker local
currencies ($50m), lower corporate and marketing expenditure ($59m), partly
offset by annual cost inflation ($69m) and the lower gold price ($97m).
Second quarter normalised AHE of $76m, compared to first quarter normalised
AHE of $119m, was affected by higher operational cash cost items such as fuel,
power, consumable stores and service charges, lower income from joint ventures
and associates (mainly Kibali) and the impact of stronger local currencies
which were partly offset by lower taxation charges. See
www.anglogoldashanti.com for graph
Operational performance for the second quarter was strong, with production
better than market guidance. Total cash costs were at the lower end of the
guidance range, despite ongoing inflationary pressure and stronger local
currencies. Production was 1,098,000oz at an average total cash cost of $836/
oz, compared to 1,055,000oz at $770/oz the previous quarter and 935,000oz at
$898/oz in the second quarter of 2013. Guidance for the quarter was 1,020,000oz
to 1,060,000oz at a total cash cost of $830/oz to 865/oz. Year-on-year costs
benefited from higher output, weaker currencies and early indications that a
range of cost saving initiatives continue to gain traction.
Production from all regions -- except for the Americas -- improved
year-on-year, helped by the contribution from Kibali and Tropicana and a strong
performance from the South Africa Region. South African operations achieved a
4% year-on-year increase in production to 319,000oz; Continental Africa
improved 15% to 395,000oz; Australia was up 210% year-on-year to 155,000oz; the
Americas declined 3% year-on-year to 229,000oz.
Gold income increased by $79m from $1,242m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to
$1,321m in the corresponding period of 2014, representing a 6% increase
year-on-year. The increase was mainly due to a 19%, or 176,000oz, increase in
gold sold from 912,000oz for the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to 1,088,000oz for
the same period in 2014. The increase was partially offset by the $132/oz, or
9% decrease in the gold price received from $1,421/oz for the quarter ended 30
June 2013 to $1,289/oz for the corresponding period in 2014.
Total cash costs dropped $62/oz compared to the previous year, from $898/oz to
$836/oz, reflecting significant improvements from a combination of cost saving
initiatives, currency weakness, removal of some marginal and loss-making
production and higher output in some areas. All-in sustaining costs (AISC)
excluding stockpile write offs were $1,060/oz, a 19% improvement year-on-year,
and 7% higher than the previous quarter due to capital expenditure profiling.
The year-on-year decline in AISC was due to the higher ounces sold, improved
total cash costs, lower corporate and exploration costs as well as lower
sustaining capital expenditure.
Weaker local currencies against the US dollar in the second quarter of 2014
compared to the same period in 2013 played a role in improved operating costs
as the South African rand depreciated by 11%, the Australian dollar by 6%, the
Brazilian real by 8% and the Argentina Peso by 54% over this period.
Production costs increased from $840m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to
$894m in the quarter ended 30 June 2014, which represents a $54m, or 6%
increase, due mainly to the first-time introduction of two new mines - Kibali
and Tropicana. The higher operational costs, given the two new operations,
include fuel and power costs and service costs, partly offset by a reduction in
labour costs, contractor costs and consumable stores as well as the weakening
of local currencies against the US dollar.
Fuel and Power costs increased from $155m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to
$174m in the quarter ended 30 June 2014, which represents a $19m, or 12%,
increase. The power cost increase was due to electricity tariff and annual
inflationary increases, in addition to the costs incurred by the two new mines.
Cost of sales was $1,064m for the quarter ended 30 June 2014 compared to
$1,012m for the corresponding period in 2013, again due largely to the
first-time second-quarter contribution of two new mines, Tropicana and Kibali.
Included in cost of sales is amortisation of tangible and intangible assets and
movements in unsold gold inventory, which were at similar levels to the periods
under review at $173m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 and to $170m in the
same period of 2014. Amortisation decreased by $26m representing the impact of
impairments in 2013 and higher ounces produced and the revision of useful lives
in 2014. Movements in inventory change related to the cost of unsold gold which
decreased from $41m in June 2013 quarter to $18m in the June 2014 quarter.
Despite the introduction of two new operations, labour costs declined 10% from
$315m in the quarter ended 30 June 2013 to $285m in the corresponding period of
2014. This was mainly due to rationalisation and restructuring across the
group. Contractor costs declined 19% from $162m in the quarter ended 30 June
2013 to $131m in the quarter ended 30 June 2014. The decrease in contractor
costs was primarily a result of negotiating lower contract rates and the lower
utilisation of mine contractors.
(Loss) profit attributable to equity shareholders for the second quarter of
2014 was a loss of $80m, compared to $39m profit for the previous quarter and a
loss of $2,165m for the second quarter of 2013 which was impacted by asset
impairments and stockpile write-downs. The current quarter was impacted by
operational closure and termination costs, operational restructuring costs,
impairments of investments and inventory write-downs.
Total capital expenditure during the second quarter was $311m (including equity
accounted joint ventures), compared with $274m the previous quarter and $556m
in the second quarter of 2013. Of the total capital expenditure, non-sustaining
project capital expenditure during the quarter amounted to $107m. Capital
expenditure is expected to increase in the second half of the year mainly due
to timing of expenditures forecast in the Americas region.
At the end of the second quarter of 2014, net debt was $2.994bn compared to
$3.095bn in the previous quarter, in part due to the $105m proceeds from the
sale of Navachab, resulting in a reduction in the Net Debt to adjusted EBITDA
ratio to 1.73 times, compared with 1.90 times at 31 March 2014. Free cash flow
improved from $22m in the previous quarter to $34m in the second quarter of
2014, reflecting higher production and the sale of royalties.
CORPORATE UPDATE
Natural gas for Western Australian mines: On 21 July 2014, Anglogold Ashanti
signed agreements with the natural gas infrastructure company APA Group (APA)
for the transportation of natural gas to the Sunrise Dam and Tropicana gold
mines in Western Australia. Under the agreements, APA will construct a new
292km pipeline which will connect to its Goldfields Gas Pipeline via the
lateral pipeline at the Murrin Murrin nickel mine, and then extend past Sunrise
Dam to Tropicana.
Natural gas is a cleaner fuel than diesel and its use will likely reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. The power stations at both mines will be modified in
order to run on 100% natural gas, while retaining diesel backup capability.
The shift is expected to reduce cash operating costs at both sites by between
A$25/oz to $30/oz, while also providing continuity of fuel supply, reduce
exposure to diesel price volatility and significantly reduce the number of
trucks on the road, providing an important safety benefit as well as reducing
road maintenance costs.
Construction is scheduled to start in February 2015 with first gas scheduled to
be available at Tropicana in January 2016.
CFO Announcement: On 7 July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti announced the appointment
of Christine Ramon to the post of Chief Financial Officer and Executive
Director of the Board, from 1 October 2014. The appointment of Ms. Ramon, a
chartered accountant, follows a global search by the Board of Directors, as
indicated in our press release of 21 May 2013. She was formerly the CFO at
Sasol Limited, Africa's largest publicly-traded energy and chemicals company
for seven years until September of last year. She will replace Richard Duffy,
who will then step down from both the Board and the Executive Committee.
Sale of Navachab mine complete: AngloGold Ashanti announced the completion of
its sale of AngloGold Ashanti Namibia (Proprietary) Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary which owns the Navachab Gold Mine, to QKR Corporation Limited. The
transaction, announced on 10 February this year, was concluded on 30 June 2014
resulting in proceeds of $105m.
Corporate refinancing: The Company has successfully signed a new, five-year
$1bn revolving credit facility with an increased net debt to adjusted EBITDA
covenant ratio of 3.5 times versus the previous facility at 3 times, with one
conditional six-month period waiver of up to 4.5 times. These same terms have
been applied to a new A$500m five-year facility, which has replaced the
previous A$600m revolving credit facility.
"These new facilities further improve our tenor and financial flexibility and
create additional, long-term liquidity on our balance sheet," Chief Financial
Officer Richard Duffy said. "The improved terms and longer maturities are
especially important given the volatile gold price environment."
Restructure of the Obuasi mining operation: Addressing the underperformance at
Obuasi remains a key objective for AngloGold Ashanti. The restructuring and
repositioning of the Obuasi mine, which is subject to a number of consents, is
likely to result in a substantial reduction in the mine's existing operations
and significant workforce redundancies. Fundamental changes aimed at
systemically addressing legacies, infrastructure, development constraints and
cash outflows are being implemented while surface production, exploration
drilling and decline development remain ongoing. This work includes initiatives
to reduce the footprint of the operation and consolidate infrastructure, lower
operating costs by introducing a mechanised mining approach in the future,
together with the refurbishment and automation of the processing plant.
The Amendment to Program of Mining Operations, which details technical,
environmental, financial and social details around the transition, was
submitted to the Government of Ghana and key regulators for review on 18 July,
to be followed by a two-month consultation period. An amended Environment
Management Plan has been filed with the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency
and a multi-stakeholder working group has been established. AngloGold Ashanti
remains firmly committed to engaging with the Government of Ghana, its
employees and other important local and regional stakeholders throughout this
process, as it seeks to return this key asset to sustainable, long-term
profitability for the benefit of all constituencies.
WAGE NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE
The two-year wage agreement with the majority of the employees in AngloGold
Ashanti's South Africa region, and in the country's gold sector, was concluded
in September 2013 and backdated to 1 July 2013. The Association of Mining and
Construction Union, or AMCU, voluntarily participated in the negotiations but
did not sign the wage agreement. However, the wage agreement was extended to
all employees irrespective of their union affiliation, as a result the AMCU
members have all benefited from the above-mentioned increase.
On 5 June this year, the Labour Court declared that a threatened strike by AMCU
members would be unprotected under South African law. AMCU has since
simultaneously brought two applications for leave to appeal; one to the Labour
Court (seeking permission to appeal to the Labour Appeal Court); and another to
the Constitutional Court (seeking permission to appeal directly to the
Constitutional Court). The application to the Labour Court for permission to
appeal to the Labour Appeal Court has been brought on a conditional basis.
AngloGold Ashanti continues to engage its employees directly in addition to
communicating through their labour unions in order to ensure that constructive
dialogue is maintained.
UPDATE ON CAPITAL PROJECTS
In the Americas, the CC&V Mine Life Extension (MLE) Project continues to
progress in line with expectations. The valley leach facility (VLF) and
associated gold recovery plant is on schedule to commission in mid-2016. The
MLE2 Project was 47% complete through the second quarter. The High Grade Mill
is on schedule and is expected to deliver first gold production towards the end
of 2014. All major mill equipment has been set in place and the remaining work
is largely piping and electrical. Overall mill construction is 79% complete.
Mill concrete is 99% complete, steel is 91% complete, and all major mill
equipment has been set in place.
In the DRC, at Kibali the vertical shaft is progressing well with the shaft now
at a depth of 525m, with focus shifting towards off-shaft lateral development.
The development work on the twin declines is progressing well with a total of
1,803 lateral metres achieved for the second quarter, exceeding the planned
metres for the second quarter by a margin of 18.9% or 287m. The Nzoro 66KV line
and substation has been commissioned with Nzoro 2 delivering 10MW in early July
2014. The integration between hydro and thermal power without any power outages
is currently being worked upon. From a production perspective, the ramp up of
the sulphide circuit has been a challenge due to late commissioning of the
secondary crushing circuit, regrind circuit and pump cells. During the second
quarter, more clay and transitional sulphides were treated than forecast,
causing materials handling problems and flotation inefficiency. The oxide
circuit also experienced some unexpected stoppages. The focus of the site teams
is to ramp up production and improve plant availability.
TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION UPDATE
During the second quarter, the Technology Innovation Consortium continued to
make considerable progress in prototype development pertaining to certain key
technologies that seek to establish the base for a safe, automated mining
method intended for selective use at AngloGold Ashanti's deep-level underground
mining operations. Progress on various aspects of the project is as follows:
Reef Boring:
TauTona mine - Test site:
In the second quarter, nine holes were drilled. Due to the change in reef
channel width, the holes were drilled at different diameters ranging from 660mm
up to 1,060mm.
The overall results of these holes in the testing drilling sequence proved to
be successful. The results are being applied to the current drilling test
sites at TauTona mine.
Testing with the modified drilling machines has commenced at two of the test
sites during the second quarter and the third after quarter-end. The focus was
on eliminating teething problems associated with commissioning and by the end
of the period the drilling time per hole stood at 4.5 days.
Great Noligwa mine:
Testing of the new narrow reef machine started and five holes were drilled in
the second quarter. While 150mm pilot holes were successfully bored, wider
reaming of those holes presented challenges. The softer footwall conditions
associated with the C-reef ground are contributing to this challenge and the
reaming bits are currently being modified to investigate if this will resolve
the problem.
Site Equipping:
Site equipping, opening up and development of the 2014 test sites at TauTona
mine have been completed. Work continues on equipping the test sites at
Kopanang, Great Noligwa and Moab Khotsong mines.
2. Ore body Knowledge and Exploration:
A trial site was established and the current machine modified for rotary
percussion drilling. Five trial holes will be drilled to compare the results
from penetration rate and accuracy to reverse circulation drilling results
achieved thus far. The trial will continue into the third quarter.
3. Ultra High Strength Backfill (UHSB):
The underground backfill plant is commissioned and allows for a semi-automated
process to prepare the UHSB required to fill the holes at TauTona mine
production sites. All available reef bored holes in the test site block have
been filled. Installation of monitoring instrumentation remains part of the
ongoing process at the test site. Testing at surface will recommence during the
third quarter to continue development of a pumping solution towards a 1,000m
horizontal distance target.
OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
The South African operations produced 319,000oz at a total cash cost of $863/oz
during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the 307,000oz at a total cash
cost of $890/oz during the second quarter of 2013. Although year-on-year costs
improved predominantly as a result of Project500 initiatives, the improvements
were partially offset by seasonal power tariffs, annual wage increases and
other increased costs in certain areas that continued to exceed inflation.
At West Wits, production was 144,000oz at a total cash cost of $794/oz during
the second quarter of 2014 compared to 136,000oz at a total cash cost of $829/
oz during the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter performance reflected
an improvement on the back of seismic related activities, safety stoppages and
high heat conditions experienced at Mponeng at the beginning of the quarter.
Mponeng reflected a 14% improvement in yield compared to the same quarter last
year as a result of reduced stope-widths and an increased overall grade due to
lower intake of waste tonnages. Total cash costs decreased 4% at West Wits
operations, demonstrating benefits from cost optimisation measures. TauTona is
continuing with energy optimisation project which has yielded positive results.
Production from the Vaal River operations increasedin the second quarter of
2014 to 120,000oz at a total cash cost of $875/oz despite safety related
disruptions, compared with the second quarter of 2013 at 110,000oz at a total
cash cost of $958/oz. Kopanang was adversely impacted by ingress of water into
ore passes caused by a pipe failure leading to a delay in reef processing for
the quarter. The average grade recovered at Moab Khotsong increased by 31%
year-on-year. This favourable yield was achieved through a reduction in
dilution, due to a decrease in stope-width, and higher average reef grade being
mined. Despite ongoing inflationary pressure, the focus on cost management
resulted in savings. Moab Khotsong was the lowest cost mine for the South
African region at a total cash cost of $707/oz. The region is in the process of
a segmented integration of Great Noligwa into Moab Khotsong to maximise
synergies and reduce overheads.
Total Surface Operations production for the second quarter of 2014 was 55,000oz
at a total cash cost of $1,016/oz, compared to 62,000oz for the second quarter
of 2013 at a total cash cost of $903/oz. Due to delays of reef delivery from
Kopanang, lower grade marginal ore dump was utilised to fill the milling
circuit. Grades deteriorated specifically at Mine Waste Solutions where higher
grade dams have been depleted and operations shifted to reclamation sites with
lower gold recovery rates. The uranium circuit was completed, but has been
reconfigured, changing the circuit from reverse to forward leach to improve
gold recovery. Commissioning is expected to take place in the third quarter of
this year.
Continental Africa Region production during the second quarter of 2014 was
395,000oz at a total cash cost of $846/oz compared to 343,000oz at a total cash
cost of $883/oz during the second quarter of 2013. Total production for the
region increased mainly due to the contribution from the start of the Kibali
mine and as a result of increased production from Siguiri following access to
higher grade ore sources. Production during the quarter continued to improve by
6% compared with the previous quarter despite the operating challenges at
Kibali and Obuasi. Total cash costs, excluding Kibali, decreased as a result of
the marginally higher production together with the realisation of company- wide
cost reduction initiatives which have mitigated the effects of inflationary
pressures.
In Ghana, Iduapriem production for the second quarter of 2014 was 47,000oz at a
total cash cost of $911/oz compared to 51,000oz at a total cash cost of $911/oz
during the second quarter of 2013. The reduction in production year-on-year was
as a result of a deliberate operating and financial strategy to process the
existing lower grade surface ore stockpiles. However, production for the
quarter increased 4% compared to the previous quarter as a result of a decrease
in recovered grade due to treatment of lower grade ore stockpiles, offset by an
increase in tonnage throughput due to higher production shifts in the quarter.
At Obuasi, production for the second quarter of 2014 was 64,000oz at a total
cash cost of $1,175/oz compared to 58,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,560/oz
for the second quarter of 2013. Although the mine had a decrease in recovered
grade, this was fully offset by an increase in tonnage throughput due to an
increase in surface tonnes processed together with increased plant
availability. The cost initiatives contributed to a reduction in the cash costs
as we continue to realise savings. In addition, the development of the decline
ramp from surface met the crew developing the ramp from underground. The
decline ramp now extends to 17 level from surface. The Amendment to Program of
Mining Operations, which details technical, environmental, financial and social
details around the transition, was submitted to the Government of Ghana and key
regulators for review on 18 July, to be followed by a two-month consultation
period. An amended Environment Management Plan has been filed with the Ghana
Environmental Protection Agency and a multi-stakeholder working group has been
established. AngloGold Ashanti remains firmly committed to engaging with the
Government of Ghana, its employees and other important local and regional
stakeholders throughout this process, as it seeks to return this key asset to
sustainable, long-term profitability for the benefit of all constituencies.
In the Republic of Guinea, Siguiri's production was 80,000oz at a total cash
cost of $777/oz for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 62,000oz at a total
cash cost of $850/oz for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in production
was a result of a 33% increase in recovered grade as a result of accessing ore
from higher grade ore sources.
In Mali, Morila's production for the second quarter of 2014 was 10,000oz at a
total cash cost $1,137/oz compared to 17,000oz at a total cash cost of $728/oz
for the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in production year-on-year was as
a result of the operation transitioning to closure as it reaches the end of its
production life cycle. At Sadiola, production for the quarter was 23,000oz at a
total cash cost of $957/oz, compared to 23,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,003
/oz for the second quarter of 2013. The current quarter however reflected
improved production of 21% relative to the previous quarter, as a result of an
increase in tonnage throughput due to effective plant utilisation together with
more production shifts. At Yatela, in line with the transition to closure plan,
there was minimal production activity, with total production for the quarter
amounting to 2,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,931/oz.
In Namibia, Navachab's production for the second quarter of 2014 was 17,000oz
at a total cash cost of $733/oz. The transaction to sell the mine was concluded
in June 2014.
In Tanzania, Geita's production for the second quarter of 2014 was 110,000oz at
a total cash cost of $667/oz, compared to 113,000oz at a total cash cost of
$514/oz for the second quarter of 2013. Production for the second quarter of
2014 however, increased 4% as a result of increased tonnage throughput due to
higher production shifts completed compared to the previous quarter. Total cash
costs increased as a result of higher mining and processing costs incurred
during the quarter in line with the operational plans.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kibali's production for the second
quarter of 2014 was 41,000oz at a total cash cost of $717/oz. Current quarter
production was 20% lower than the previous quarter mainly due to operational
challenges encountered with the commissioning of the sulphide circuit, plant
availability on the oxide circuit and poor recovery due to transition ore.
The Americas region in the second quarter of 2014 produced 229,000oz at a total
cash cost of $765/oz, compared to 235,000oz at a total cash cost of $733/oz in
the second quarter of 2013. Production at CC&V in the second quarter of 2014,
was 49,000oz at a total cash cost of $899/oz compared to 60,000oz at a total
cash cost of $726/oz in the second quarter of 2013. This reduction resulted
from production delayed due to material placed in areas deep in the Valley
Leach Facility during the quarter. The heap leach stacking plan was modified to
defer production from the first half to the second half of the year (2014), by
starting with placing ore deep and go shallower in the latter part of the year.
Stockpiling of mill grade ore continues to ensure mill production can commence
when the mill is commissioned.
Production in Brazil suffered from the temporary loss of access to a higher
grade area at AngloGold Ashanti Mineração, which plans to recover the lost
output later this year once the area becomes available. AngloGold Ashanti
Mineração produced 88,000oz at total cash cost of $717/oz in the second quarter
of 2014 compared to 76,000oz at a total cash cost of $858/oz in the second
quarter of 2013. During 2014, a new ore body started production at Córrego do
Sítio (Sulphide II). However, compared to the previous quarter, production was
lower from both Lamego and Córrego do Sítio (CdS) Oxide. In addition,
production at Cuiabá was 6% lower mainly due to lower feed grades as a
consequence of geotechnical issues at the mine, changes in the ore mineral
characteristics at CdS Oxide operation affecting its recovery and lower
flotation and CIL recoveries at CdS Sulphide operation, partially off-set by
higher tonnage.
At Serra Grande, production in the second quarter of 2014 was 30,000oz at total
cash of $879/oz compared to 37,000oz at a total cash cost of $675/oz for the
second quarter of 2013. The lower production is due to a 17% decline in grades.
High grade contribution from the ore body in Mina III is reducing. However,
AngloGold Ashanti is engaged in an ongoing exploration programme for higher
grade areas, one of which is Ingá, expected to come into production in 2016.
In Argentina, Cerro Vanguardia´s production for the second quarter of 2014 was
62,000oz at a total cash cost of $682/oz, compared with 62,000oz at a total
cash cost of $615/oz for the second quarter of 2013. Higher grade was partially
offset by lower treated tonnes. Production increased 7% compared to the
previous quarter mainly due to higher grade in line with the production plan.
Cash costs increased reflecting higher equipment maintenance costs and greater
consumption of materials. Lower deferred stripping (because deferral of waste
costs was discontinued for two pits - LMCB9 and ODCB7) also impacted negatively
compared to the previous quarter. Rising costs were partially compensated by
the positive impact of stockpile movement derived from higher tonnes generated.
In Australasia production for the second quarter of 2014 was 155,000oz at a
total cash cost of $850/oz compared to 50,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,829/
oz for the second quarter of 2013, with the increase in production mainly
attributed to the start of the Tropicana mine during this period.
Production at Sunrise Dam in the second quarter of 2014 was 62,000oz at total
cash cost of $1,308/oz, compared to 50,000oz at a total cash cost of $1,713/oz
for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in production was due to tonnes
mined and head grade from the underground mine, which both increased when
compared to the same period last year. Underground ore tonnes mined increased
by 11% whilst head grade increased 20% to approximately 2.4g/t. As planned,
gold production decreased by 12% from the first quarter of 2014 as ore
stockpiles were drawn down, contributing to an increase in costs. A total of
37m of underground capital development and 2,401m of operational development
were completed during the quarter. The mine had a 20% increase in ore
production from underground. Underground mine grade was at 3.1g/t for the
second quarter compared to 2.77g/t in the previous quarter (a 12% increase).
Tropicana's production for the second quarter of 2014 was 93,000oz at a total
cash cost $498/oz, in line with budget. The processing plant reached nameplate
throughput capacity in the March quarter and this rate was maintained in the
June quarter.
EXPLORATION
Total expensed exploration and evaluation costs (including technology) during
the second quarter, inclusive of expenditure at equity accounted joint
ventures, were $36m ($9m on Brownfield, $13m on Greenfield and $14m on
pre-feasibility studies), compared with $91m during the same quarter the
previous year. Greenfields exploration activities were undertaken in three
countries: Australia, Colombia and Guinea, while minor work was also completed
in Brazil.
In South Africa, five deep surface drilling sites were in operation during the
second quarter, one on the Moab Khotsong Mine and four at Mponeng (WUDLs).
Diamond drilling commenced at MZA10 and the hole is currently at 779.5m. This
hole is located to the east of the recently complete holes, MMB 6 and 7, and it
is targeted to provide value information in the lower reaches of the early gold
portion of Project Zaaiplaats.
Drilling of site UD51 was completed. Plugging of the hole and rehabilitation of
the site continues. UD59 advanced well during the second quarter and reached a
depth of 3,145m in the Allanridge Formation lava's. Redrill at UD60 has
advanced to 1,346m after further in hole problems during the second quarter.
The diamond rig has been erected at UD58A and the hole is currently being
straightened and is at a depth of 291m.
In Tanzania at Geita Gold Mine exploration focused on infill drilling
programmes at Geita Hill East (4,691m RC&DD) and Geita Hill West (515m RC) and
Advance Grade Control drilling commenced at Star & Comet Cut 2 Pit (286m RC).
Detailed routine geological pit mapping continued to improve the geological
model and enhance the understanding of controls on mineralisation at Geita
Hill, Nyankanga and Star & Comet pits. Interpretative geological sections are
currently being compiled for all known deposits as part of a programme to
develop 3D geological models over Geita Hill, Star & Comet and
Matandani-Kukuluma.
In Guinea, at Siguiri Gold Mine, a total of 72 holes were completed with 5,797m
drilled during the second quarter. This comprised of 1,462m diamond and 2,738m
RC infill drilling from the Kami Pit Fresh Rock project, and 1,597m RC from the
Balato North1 reconnaissance target.
Core processing is completed and detailed logging of 18 diamond drillholes were
completed during the second quarter, including additional geotechnical DD holes
selected to supply additional information to the combination plant expansion
project PFS.
In Ghana, at Obuasi, Gold Mine a total of 2,563m of underground drilling was
completed from the Above 50 Level 41S-294W site. The purpose of this infill
drilling is to increase confidence in portions of Block 9/Red Zone 6 currently
classified as Inferred Mineral Resource.
In Mali at Sadiola, 6,262m of RC drilling was completed. Drilling took place at
FE4S, Tabakoto, TB6, Antarctica, S2, FE2S, and FE4SE oxide targets. Results
were generally disappointing, with FE4S, TB6 and S2 showing low oxide
potential. Drilling along Tabakoto strike confirmed thick oxide cover and
returned isolated and narrow gold intersections in both sulphide and oxide with
mineralisation apparently controlled by folding.
In Brazil, exploration work for AGABM continued at the Cuiaba, Lamego and CdS
production centers. During the second quarter, 20,170m were drilled
collectively in the surface and underground drilling programmes. Geological
modelling continued for near mine exploration targets. At Serra Grande, 12,935m
of drilling were completed to infill and extend ore bodies near mine
infrastructure.
In Colombia, drilling and Mineral Resource modelling to support the
Pre-Feasibility Study continued at the Gramalote Joint Venture. This included
2,135m completed for Mineral Resource infill drilling and testing opportunities
for Mineral Resource addition. At La Colosa, drilling activities included
6,295m completed for Mineral Resource infill and extension. Site
investigation, hydrology and geotechnical drilling programmes continued.
At Sunrise Dam in Australia, exploration was focussed on Mineral Resource
definition and extension work, utilising two underground diamond drill rigs
(8,960m) and one RC drill rig (5,574m). RC drilling was focussed on Sunrise
Shear Zone Panel 4 and Sunrise Shear South, while diamond drilling focussed on
Vogue, Midway Shear Zone and Cosmo East. At Tropicana, design, permitting and
site preparation for the 3D seismic survey to image the mineralised zone down
dip of Tropicana continued. The survey is expected to start in the third
quarter of 2014 to help inform targeting of thicker zones of mineralisation
below the current open pit designs and extents of existing drilling.
During the second quarter, aircore drilling at the Tumbleweed prospect, 15km
north of Tropicana Gold Mine was completed. A limited campaign of RC drilling
at the Highball prospect, 2km west of the mine, was also completed.
Detailed information on the exploration activities and studies both for
brownfields and greenfields is available on the AngloGold Ashanti website (
www.anglogoldashanti.com ).
OUTLOOK
Production guidance is estimated to be broadly in line with the guidance of the
previous quarter of between 1,060kozs to 1,090kozs at total cash costs of $850/
oz to $890/oz, assuming average exchange rates against the US dollar of 10.65
(Rand), 2.28 (Brazil Real), 0.93 (Aus$) and 8.55 (Argentina Peso). Fuel is
estimated at $110/bl.
The production estimate factors' in the lost ounces due to the sale of
Navachab, winding down of production at Obuasi, Siguiri production levels
normalizing and Tropicana recovering after resolving challenges with plant
availability in July. In addition, production losses following an earthquake
near the Vaal River Operation on 5 August, are preliminarily estimated at as
much as 30,000oz, based on early assessments of damage to underground and
surface mining and power infrastructure, as well as the estimated time to
safely ramp up production to normal levels. Safety will not be compromised for
production. AngloGold Ashanti retains the right to revise this guidance figure,
should new information on the impacts of the seismic event come to light.
Annual guidance remains intact, in line with the appropriate currency
forecasts.
Other known or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects
on our future results. Please refer to the Risk Factors section in AngloGold
Ashanti's Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2013 that was filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on 14 April 2014 and

The group reviews and tests the carrying value of its mining assets (including
ore-stock piles) when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the quarter and six months ended 30 June 2014, no asset impairments or
reversal of impairments were recognised.
During the year ended 31 December 2013, impairment, derecognition of assets and
write-down of inventories to net realisable value and other stockpile
adjustments include the following:
During June 2013, consideration was given to a range of indicators including a
decline in gold price, increase in discount rates and reduction in market
capitalisation. As a result, certain cash generating units' recoverable
amounts, including Obuasi and Geita in Continental Africa, Moab Khotsong in
South Africa and CC&V and AGA Mineração in the Americas, did not support their
carrying values and impairment losses of $3,029m were recognised during 2013.
The indicators were re-assessed as at 31 December 2013 as part of the annual
impairment assessment cycle and the conditions that arose in June 2013 were
largely unchanged and no further cash generating unit impairments arose.
In addition, net impairments of $162m were recognised on the entity's
investments in equity-accounted associates and joint ventures considering
quoted share prices, their respective financial positions and anticipated
declines in operating results of these entities. Impairments to net realisable
value of $178m were raised at 30 June 2013 and impairments of $38m were raised
at 31 December 2013 due to stockpile abandonments and other specific
adjustments.

In July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti and other shareholders of Rand Refinery (Pty)
Limited, an associate of the company, entered into an agreement with Rand
Refinery to provide an irrevocable, subordinated loan facility to the maximum
value of R1.2 billion (US$113m). The facility allows for amounts to be advanced
to Rand Refinery to finance the purchase of gold in the event that Rand
Refinery finally determines that a shortfall of 87 000 ounces of gold actually
exists when comparing the physical inventory of Rand Refinery to the records of
amounts it holds on behalf of third parties.
The facility, if drawn down, will be convertible to equity after a period of 2
years on condition that all shareholders of Rand Refinery agree to the
conversion.
Due to the uncertainty around Rand Refinery's possible gold shortfall position
and the time it is taking to resolve the matter, Rand Refinery has been unable
to complete its annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September
2013. As a result, AngloGold Ashanti has adjusted its share of equity profits
accounted for as part of its investment in Rand Refinery, and which is based on
the unaudited management accounts of Rand Refinery, with an estimate of its
share of the probable losses at Rand Refinery of $51m related to the gold
shortfall position.

of tangible assets, goodwill, current assets, current and long-term
liabilities. On 10 February 2014, AngloGold Ashanti announced that it signed a
binding agreement to sell Navachab to a wholly-owned subsidiary of QKR
Corporation Ltd (QKR). The purchase consideration consists of two components:
an initial cash payment and a deferred consideration in the form of a net
smelter return (NSR).
On 30 June 2014, AngloGold Ashanti Limited announced that the sale had been
completed in accordance with the sales agreement with all conditions precedent

Groundwater pollution - AngloGold Ashanti Limited has identified groundwater
contamination plumes at certain of its operations, which have occurred
primarily as a result of seepage.Numerous scientific, technical and legal
studies have been undertaken toassist in determining the magnitude of the
contamination and to find sustainable remediation solutions. The group has
instituted processes to reduce future potential seepage and it has been
demonstrated that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) by the existing
environment will contribute to improvements in some instances. Furthermore,
literature reviews, field trials and base line modelling techniques suggest,
but have not yet proven, that the use of phyto-technologies can addressthe soil
and groundwater contamination. Subject to the completion of trials and the
technology being a proven remediation technique, no reliable estimate can be
made for the obligation.
Deepgroundwater pollution - The group has identified a floodingand future
pollution risk posed by deep groundwater in certain underground mines in
Africa. Various studies have been undertaken by AngloGold Ashanti
Limited since 1999. Due to the interconnected nature of mining operations,
any proposed solution needs to be a combined one supported by all the mines
located in these gold fields. As a result, in South Africa, the Mineral and
Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) requires that the affected mining
companies develop a Regional Mine Closure Strategy to be approved by the
Department of Mineral Resources. In view of the limitation of current
information for the accurate estimation of a liability, no reliable estimate
can be made for the obligation.
Withholding taxes - AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited (AGAG) received a tax
assessment for the 2006 to 2008 and for the 2009 to 2011 tax years following
audits by the tax authorities which related to variouswithholding taxes
amounting to $30m (2013: $28m). Management is of the opinion that the
withholding taxes were not properly assessed and the company has lodged an
objection.
Litigation - On 11 October 2011, AGAG terminated its commercial
arrangements with Mining and Building Contractors Limited (MBC) relating
to certain underground development, construction on bulkheads and diamond
drilling services providedby MBC in respect of the Obuasi mine. On 8
November 2012, as a result of this termination, AGAG and MBC concluded
a separation agreement that specified the terms on which the parties
agreedto sever their commercial relationship. On 23 July 2013, MBC commenced
proceedings against AGAG in the High Court of Justice (Commercial Division) in
Accra, Ghana, and served a writ of summons thatclaimed a total of approximately
$97m in damages. MBC asserts variousclaims for damages, including, among
others, as a result of the breach of contract, non-payment ofoutstanding
historical indebtedness by AGAG and the demobilisation ofequipment, spare parts
and materialacquired by MBC for the benefit of AGAG in connection with
operations at the Obuasi mine inGhana. MBC has also asserted various labour
claims on behalfof itself and certain of its former contractors andemployees at
the Obuasi mine. On 9 October 2013, AGAG filed a motion in court to refer the
action or a part thereof to arbitration. This motion was set to be heard on 25
October 2013, however, on 24 October 2013, MBC filed a motion to discontinuethe
action with liberty to reapply. On 20 February 2014, AGAG was served with a new
writ for approximately $97m, as previously claimed. On 2 May 2014, the court
dismissed AGAG's application for stay of proceedings pending arbitration and
ordered AGAG to file its statement of defence within 14 days. On 15 May 2014
AGAG filed a Notice of Appeal at the Court of Appeal. AGA further filed a Stay
of Proceedings Pending Appeal at the High Court. On 11 May 2014, the High Court
granted AGA's application for Stay of Proceedings pending appeal. AGAG awaits
the record of proceedings to be transmitted to the Court of Appeal for the
parties to file their written submissions.
Litigation - AGAG received a summons on 2 April 2013 from Abdul Waliyu and 152
others in which the plaintiffs allegethat they were or are residents of the
Obuasi municipality or its suburbs and that their health has been adversely
affected by emission and/or other environmental impacts arising in
connection with the current and/or historical operations of the Pompora
Treatment Plant (PTP) which was decommissioned in 2000. The claim is to award
generaldamages, special damages for medical treatment and punitive damages, as
well as several orders relating to the operation of the PTP. The plaintiffs
subsequently amended their writ to include their respective addresses.
AGAGfiled a defence to the amended writ on 16 July 2013 and are awaiting the
plaintiffs to apply for directions. In view of the limitation of
currentinformation for the accurate estimation of a liability, no
reliableestimate can be made for the obligation.
Litigation - five executive members of the PTP (AGA) Smoke Effect
Association (PASEA) sued AGAG on 24 February 2014 in their personal
capacity and on behalf of the members of PASEA. The plaintiffs
claim that they were residents of Tutuka, Sampsonkrom, Anyimadukrom,
Kortkortesua, Abomperkrom, and PTP Residential Quarters, all suburbs
of Obuasi, in close proximity to the now decommissioned Pompara Treatment
Plant (PTP). The plaintiffs claim they have been adversely affected by the
operations of the PTP. In view of the limitation of current information for
the accurate estimation of a liability, no reliable estimate can be made for
the obligation.
Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act (ODMWA) litigation - On 3 March
2011, in Mankayi vs. AngloGold Ashanti, the Constitutional Court of South
Africa held that section 35(1) of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries
and Diseases Act, 1993 does not cover an "employee" who qualifies for
compensation in respect of "compensable diseases" under the Occupational
Diseases in Mines and Works Act, 1973 (ODMWA). Thisjudgement allows such
qualifying employee to pursue a civil claim for damages against the employer.
Following the Constitutional Courtdecision, AngloGold Ashanti has become
subject to numerous claims relating to silicosis and other Occupational Lung
Diseases (OLD), including several potential class actions and individual
claims.
For example, on or about 21 August 2012, AngloGold Ashanti was served
with an application instituted by Bangumzi Bennet Balakazi ("the Balakazi
Action") and others in which the applicants seek an order declaring that all
mine workers (former or current) who previously worked or continue to work in
specified South African gold mines for the period owned by AngloGold Ashanti
and who have silicosis or other OLD constitute members of a class for the
purpose of proceedingsfor declaratory relief and claims for damages. In the
event the class is certified, such class of workers would be permitted to
institute actions by way of a summons against AngloGold Ashanti for amounts as
yet unspecified. On 4 September 2012, AngloGold Ashanti delivered its notice
of intention to defend this application. AngloGold Ashanti also delivered a
formal request for additional information that it requires to prepare its
affidavits in respect to the allegations and the requestfor certification of a
class.
In addition, on or about 8 January 2013, AngloGold Ashanti and its
subsidiaryFree State Consolidated Gold Mines (Operations) Limited, alongside
other mining companies operating in South Africa, were served with
another application to certify a class ("the Nkala Action"). The
applicants in the case seek to have the court certify two classes
namely: (i) current and former mineworkers who have silicosis (whether
or not accompanied by any other disease) and who work or have worked on
certain specified gold mines at any time from 1 January 1965 to date; and
(ii) the dependants of mineworkers who died as a result of silicosis
(whether or not accompanied by any other disease) and who worked
on these gold mines at any time after 1 January 1965. AngloGoldAshanti
filed a notice of intention to oppose the application.
On 21 August 2013, an application was served on AngloGold Ashanti for the
consolidation of the Balakazi Action and the Nkala Action, as well as a
request for an amendment to change the scope of the classes the court was
requested to certify in the previous applications that were initiated.
The applicants now request certification oftwo classes (the "silicosis class"
and the "tuberculosis class"). The silicosis class would consist of certain
current and former mineworkers who have contracted silicosis, and the
dependants of certain deceased mineworkers who have died of silicosis
(whether or notaccompanied by any other disease). The tuberculosis class would
consist of certain current and former mineworkers whohave or had contracted
pulmonarytuberculosis and the dependants of certain deceased mineworkers
whodied of pulmonary tuberculosis (but excluding silico-tuberculosis). On 30
May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti submitted its answering affidavit.
In October 2012, AngloGoldAshanti received a further 31 individual summonses
and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or other OLD. The total
amount claimed in the 31 summonses is approximately $7 million. On 22 October
2012, AngloGoldAshanti filed a notice of intentionto oppose these claims and
took legal exception to the summonses on the groundthat certain particulars
ofclaim were unclear. On 4 April 2014, the High Court of South Africa dismissed
these exceptions and on 25 April 2014, AngloGold Ashanti filed its pleas in
this matter. The company will continue to defend these cases on their merits.
On or about 3 March 2014, AngloGold Ashanti received an additional 21
individual summonses and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or
other OLD. The total amount claimed in the 21 summonses is approximately $4.5
million. AngloGold Ashanti has filed a notice of intention to oppose these
claims. On 2 May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice taking legal exception
to the summonses on the ground that certain particulars of claim were unclear.
The court date has not yet been set to hear the exceptions.
On or about 24 March 2014, AngloGold Ashanti received a further 686 individual
summonses and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or other OLD. The
total amount claimed in the 686 summonses is approximately $109 million.
AngloGold Ashanti has filed a notice of intention to oppose these claims. On
15 May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice taking legal exception to the
summonses on the ground that certain particulars of claim were unclear. The
court date has not yet been set to hear the exceptions.
On or about 1 April 2014, AngloGold Ashanti received a further 518 individual
summonses and particulars of claim relating to silicosis and/or other OLD. The
total amount claimed in the 518 summonses isapproximately $90 million.
AngloGold Ashanti has filed a notice of intention to oppose these claims. On
15 May 2014 AngloGold Ashanti filed a notice taking legal exception to the
summonses on the ground that certain particulars of claim were unclear. The
court date has not yet been set to hear the exceptions.
It is possible that additional class actions and/or individual claims
relating to silicosis and/or other OLD will be filed against AngloGold
Ashanti in the future. AngloGoldAshanti will defend all current and
subsequently filed claims on their merits. Should AngloGold Ashanti be
unsuccessfulin defending any such claims, or in otherwise favourably resolving
perceived deficiencies in the national occupational disease compensation
framework that were identified in the earlierdecision by the Constitutional
Court, such matters would have an adverse effect on its financial position,
which could be material. The company isunable to reasonably estimate its
share of the amounts claimed.
Other tax disputes - In November 2007, the Departamento Nacional de
Produção Mineral (DNPM), a Brazilian federal mining authority, issued a
tax assessment against AngloGold Ashanti Brazil Mineração Ltda (AABM) in the
amount of $21m (2013:$19m) relating to the calculation and payment by AABM of
the financial contribution on mining exploitation (CFEM) in the period from
1991 to 2006. AngloGold Ashanti Limited's subsidiaries in Brazil are involved
in various other disputes with tax authorities. These disputes involve
federal tax assessments including income tax, royalties, social
contributions and annual property tax. The amount involved is approximately
$19m (2013:$19m). Management isof the opinionthat these taxes are not
payable.
VAT disputes- MSG received a tax assessment inOctober 2003 from the State of
Minas Gerais related to VAT on gold bullion transfers. The tax administrators
rejected the company's appeal againstthe assessment. The company is now
appealing the dismissal of the case. The assessment is approximately $17m
(2013: $16m).
Tax dispute - AngloGold Ashanti Colombia S.A. (AGAC) received notice from the
Colombian Tax Office (DIAN) that it disagreed with the company's tax treatment
of certain items in the 2011 and 2010 income tax returns. On 23 October 2013
AGAC received the official assessments from the DIAN which established that an
estimated additional tax of $35m (2013: $35m) will be payable if the tax
returns are amended. Penalties and interest for the additional taxes
are expected to be $164m (2013: $153m), based on Colombian tax law. The
company believes thatit has applied the tax legislation correctly. AGAC
requested in December 2013 that DIAN reconsider itsdecision and the company has
been officially notified that DIAN will review its earlier ruling.This review
is anticipated to take twelve months, at the endof which AGAC may file suit if
the ruling is not reversed.
Tax dispute - On 12 July 2013, Cerro Vanguardia S.A. received a
notification from the Argentina Tax Authority requesting corrections to
the 2007, 2008 and 2009 income tax returns of about $15m (2013: $18m) relating
to the non-deduction of tax losses previously claimed on hedge contracts.
Penalties and interest on the disputed amounts are estimated at a further $38m
(2013: $45m). A new notification was received on 16 July 2014 from the tax
authorities that disallowed arguments from CVSA's initial response. CVSA will
file another response and has until the middle of August 2014 to do so.
Management is of the opinionthat the taxes are not payable.
Sales tax on gold deliveries - In 2006, Mineração Serra Grande S.A. (MSG),
received two tax assessments from the State of Goiás related to the payments of
state sales taxes at the rate of 12% on gold deliveries for export from one
Brazilian state to another during the period from February 2004 to the end of
May 2006. The first and second assessments were approximately $62m and $39m as
at 31 December 2013, respectively. Various legal proceedings have taken place
over the years with respect to this matter, as previously disclosed. On 5 May
2014, the State of Goiás published a law which enables companies to settle
outstanding tax assessments of this nature. Under this law, MSG settled the two
assessments in May 2014 by paying $14m in cash and by utilising $29m of
existing VAT credits. The utilisation of the VAT credits is subject to legal
confirmation from the State of Goiás within 180 days from the settlement
agreement date. Management has concluded that the likelihood of the State of
Goiás declining the utilisation of the VAT credits or part thereof is remote.
The cash settlement is further set off by an indemnity from Kinross of $6m.
Indemnity - As part of the acquisition by AngloGold Ashanti Limited of the
remaining 50% interest inMSG during June 2012, Kinross Gold Corporation
(Kinross)has provided an indemnity to a maximum amount of BRL255m against the
specific exposures discussed in item 9 above. At 30 June 2014, the company has
estimated that the maximum contingentasset is $11m (2013: $60m).
Royalty- As a result of the sale of the interest in the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine
during 2010, the group is entitled to receive a royalty on the production of a
total of 1.5Moz by the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine and in the event that the average
monthly rand price of gold exceeds R180,000/kg (subject to an inflation
adjustment). Where the average monthly rand price of gold does not
exceed R180,000/kg (subject to an inflation adjustment), the ounces
producedin that quarter do not count towards the total 1.5Moz upon which the
royalty is payable. The royalty is determined at 3% of the net revenue
(being gross revenue less state royalties) generated by the Tau Lekoa assets.
Royalties on 455,765oz (2013: 413,246oz) produced have been received to date.
Royalty- As a result of the sale of Navachab, AngloGold Ashanti will receive a
net smelter return paid quarterly for seven years from 1 July 2016, determined
at 2% of ounces sold during the relevant quarter subject to a minimum average
gold price of $1,350 and capped at a maximum of 18,750 ounces sold per quarter.
Provisionof surety - The company has providedsurety in favour of a lender on a
gold loan facility with its associate Oro Group (Pty) Limited andone of its
subsidiaries to a maximum value of $9m (2013: $10m). The probability of the
non- performance under the suretyships is considered minimal. The suretyship
agreements have a termination notice period of 90 days.
17. Concentration of tax risk
There is a concentration of tax risk in respect of recoverable value
added tax, fuel duties and appeal deposits from the Tanzanian government.
The recoverable value added tax, fuel duties and appeal deposits are
summarised as follows:
Jun 2014
US Dollar million
Recoverable fuel duties (1) 10
Recoverable value added tax 30
Appeal deposits 4
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.
18. Borrowings
AngloGold Ashanti's borrowings are interest bearing.
19. Announcements
Completion of the sale of the Navachab Mine: on 1 July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti
announced it had, on 30 June 2014, completed the sale of AngloGold Ashanti
Namibia (Proprietary) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary which owns the
Navachab Gold Mine, to QKR Corporation Limited. The transaction was announced
on 10 February 2014.
Appointment of new Chief Financial Officer: On 7 July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti
announced that Ms Christine Ramon will be taking over the post of Chief
Financial Officer and Executive Director of the board from 1 October 2014.
Rand Refinery and Corporate Update: on 25 July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti drew
shareholders attention to an announcement by Rand Refinery (Pty) Limited
regarding a loan facility extended to it by certain of its shareholders
(including AngloGold Ashanti which owns 42.4% of the refinery), as a
precautionary measure. This follows challenges encountered in the
implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system at the refinery.
AngloGold Ashanti recorded a provision of $51m during the second quarter.
In addition, AngloGold Ashanti noted that costs incurred in the previously
announced closure of the Yatela mine in Mali, and ongoing restructuring at its
Obuasi mine in Ghana, impacted earnings for the second quarter.
Update on South Africa Earthquake: On 6 August 2014, AngloGold Ashanti
confirmed that each one of the 3,300 people working underground at its Great
Noligwa and Moab Khotsong mines early in the morning on 5 August 2014, when a
5.3 magnitude earthquake struck South Africa's North West province, were safely
hoisted to surface. Twenty-eight employees who sustained minor injuries as a
result of the event received medical treatment.
20. Subsequent events
On 17th July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc cancelled its 2012 US$1bn
Revolving Credit Facility and signed a new 5 year US$1bn Revolving Credit
Facility. The facility is currently undrawn.
On 25 July 2014, AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited signed a new 5 year A$500m
Revolving Credit Facility which replaces the existing A$600m Revolving Credit
Facility, which was due to mature in December 2015.
