Financial and Operating Report
for the six months ended 30 June 2021
FIRST HALF 2021 REVIEW – CONTINUING OPERATIONS
AngloGold Ashanti experienced a challenging first half of the year, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on production and costs, lower realised grades across certain operations and the suspension of underground mining at the Obuasi gold mine following a fatal accident on 18 May 2021. These operating headwinds come amid a period of elevated investment as we transition our Brazilian tailings storage facilities (TSFs) to dry-stacked structures and invest across our portfolio in increased conversion of Mineral Resource to Ore Reserve, waste stripping at open pit mines and improved rates of underground development.
This inward investment programme is aimed at extending the lives of our mines and improving operating flexibility over the long term. The first half of this year saw notable successes including the continued growth of the newly discovered Frankie ore body at Sunrise Dam and additional high-grade intercepts at Geita’s Nyamulilima discovery, confirming the scale and growth potential of this open pit ore body.
This year and next remain transitional ones for the Company, with the higher volumes of waste stripping and underground development accompanied by lower grades and movements in stockpiles. Reliance on stockpiles has exceeded plan at certain operations, including Cerro Vanguardia, due to the continued direct impacts of COVID-19. At Obuasi, post the suspension of mining, existing stockpiles were used to feed the plant. At Sunrise Dam, stockpiles supplemented production which was affected by ongoing challenges relating to the lower than planned underground grades. Stockpile movements at Iduapriem relate to a revision of the mine schedule and at Geita, these relate to the transition to underground operations.
We expect the mining of lower grades and stockpile utilisation to be transitory in nature as the reinvestment programme provides improved flexibility and access to higher grades, and as vaccination drives progress across our jurisdictions most affected by COVID-19. Notwithstanding significant pressure on costs related to the TSF transition in Brazil, this investment is also transitory given the upcoming legal deadline.
Ensuring a safe operating environment for all employees and contractors remains our highest priority. Mining activities at Obuasi will remain suspended at the site following an investigation in the fatality in May, and pending the third-party review of the mining and ground management plans. Work on the mine’s redevelopment project will, however, continue over this period.
AngloGold Ashanti’s management remains committed to driving Operational Excellence initiatives across the portfolio and driving continued improvements in its environmental, social and governance performance. A particular emphasis will be placed on improving operating and capital efficiencies over the remainder of the year.
AngloGold Ashanti remains focused on its strategy to create long-term value, whilst maintaining a strong balance sheet and mitigating any financial or operating risks to the business. The balance sheet remains in a solid position, with approximately $2.5bn in available liquidity, including $1.1bn in cash and cash equivalents at the end of June 2021.

Comparison of operating performance for the six months ended 30 June 2021 with the six months ended 30 June 2020
Production decreased by 123,000oz, or 9%, from 1,323,000oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to 1,200,000oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021. Production is measured as ounces of refined gold in saleable form derived from the mining process. Solid production contributions were recorded at Sunrise Dam, Kibali, Iduapriem, Cerro Vanguardia, Geita and Tropicana. At Siguiri, gold production increased 19% year-on-year to 117,000oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021 compared to 98,000oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020, mainly driven by an increase in recovered grades from improved plant recoveries following the conversion to carbon-in-leach (CIL) gold extractions at the end of last year. Average grades for the group were 10% lower in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020 and were primarily impacted by the transitioning to mainly underground mining at Geita and Tropicana supplemented by stockpiles, grade reconciliation issues at Sunrise Dam and mine plan revisions at Iduapriem. Despite the improved second quarter of 2021, production for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was adversely impacted by the suspension of underground mining activities at Obuasi following the failure of a sill pillar in May 2021, and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic across our business. Prior to the current suspension of mining activities at Obuasi on 18 May 2021, gold production at the Obuasi mine increased by 70% year-on-year to 85,000oz as the mine ramped up towards full production, compared to 50,000oz produced in the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Comparison of financial performance for the six months ended 30 June 2021 with the six months ended 30 June 2020
Revenue from product sales
Revenue from product sales increased by $2m to $1,965m in the six months ended 30 June 2021 from $1,963m in the corresponding period of 2020. The increase was due to a $149/oz, or 9%, increase in the gold price received per ounce from $1,652/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $1,801/oz for the corresponding period in 2021. The increase in revenue from product sales was partially offset by a decrease in production in Africa, Australia and the Americas.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased by $110m, or 9%, from $1,290m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $1,400m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $219m increase in cash operating costs, partly offset by a $2m decrease in royalties, $26m decrease in inventory change, $64m decrease in amortisation of assets and a $17m decrease in rehabilitation and other non-cash costs. The increase in cash operating costs (which include salaries and wages, stores, explosives, timber, reagents, fuel, power, water and contractors’ costs) was primarily due to ore stockpile movements, adjustments to gold in process, higher labour and contractors’ costs, higher consumable stores, services and other charges. Higher oil prices were a key driver of costs across the group, exacerbated by COVID-19 impacts. Cost increases were partially offset by operating efficiencies.
Total cash costs
Total cash costs increased by $217m, or 23%, from $946m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $1,163m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. Total cash costs include cash operating costs (which include salaries and wages, stores, explosives, timber, reagents, fuel, power, water and contractors’ costs), royalties and other cash costs.
Cash operating costs increased from $858m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $1,077m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, which represents a $219m, or 26%, increase. Cash operating costs increased mainly as a result of higher oil prices and the current suspension of mining activities at Obuasi since 18 May 2021. The Brazilian and Argentinean operations were most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of 2021, with high rates of absenteeism, and continued strict lockdown measures taken by the Argentinean government, affecting productivity. In certain jurisdictions, notably in Australia and Brazil, increasingly robust competition for key mining and related skills from base metal and iron ore producers are driving salaries higher and causing personnel shortages in certain key areas where the demand for skills is especially acute.
Royalty costs, which are generally calculated as a percentage of revenue, decreased from $82m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $80m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, which represents a $2m, or a 2%, decrease. The decrease in royalty costs due to lower gold sales amounted to $6m at Geita, $3m at Cerro Vanguardia, $1m at the Australian operations and $2m at Iduapriem, and was partly offset by higher costs due to increased gold sales at Obuasi of $7m and at Siguiri of $3m.
Retrenchment costs
Retrenchment costs remained unchanged at $1m for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to $1m in the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Rehabilitation and other non-cash costs
Rehabilitation and other non-cash costs decreased by $17m, or 59%, from $29m for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $12m for the six months ended 30 June 2021. This decrease was primarily due to changes in cash flows and inflation and discount rates used in calculating rehabilitation and other non-cash costs and a decrease in community investment, compared to the same period in 2020
Amortisation
Amortisation of tangible, intangible and right of use assets decreased by $64m, or 23%, from $277m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $213m in the six months ended 30 June 2021.
Amortisation of tangible assets decreased by $72m, or 28%, from $254m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $182m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. Lower amortisation of tangible assets was recorded at Tropicana mainly as a result of deferred stripping amortisation being lower due to mining and depletion of different ore bodies, partly offset by higher Ore Reserve development amortisation due to commencement of amortisation of Boston Shaker underground, at Iduapriem largely due to higher gold production and lower than prior year deferred stripping amortisation at Teberebie, and at Geita mainly due to no contained gold ounces following depletion of open pit mining compared with open pit mining in the prior period. The decrease in amortisation of tangible assets was partly offset by an increase in amortisation at Obuasi as amortisation in the prior period was capitalised as part of pre-production cost.
June 2021 Interim report - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com

Amortisation relating to right of use assets, as recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, increased by $8m, or 36%, from $22m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $30m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase is mostly attributable to new contracts entered into during the second half of 2020 and first half of 2021 at the Brazilian operations in the amount of $4m and at Geita in the amount of $2m and an increase in amortisation at the Australian operations due to the weakening of the US Dollar against the Australian Dollar with an impact of $2m.
Amortisation of intangible assets remained unchanged at $1m for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to $1m in the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Inventory change
There was a $26m, or 70%, decrease in inventory change from a charge of $37m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to a charge of $11m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The decrease was mainly the result of lower sales of gold on hand at Geita and timing differences of shipments and gold sales in Australia, partly offset by inventory change at Obuasi with the mine being under pre-production phase in the prior period. Amortisation of inventory movement relates mainly to Argentina where there was a higher volume of inventory and lower sales.
Gain (loss) on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts
No loss or gain on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts was recorded during the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to a loss on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts of $15m recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The loss during the six months ended 30 June 2020 was mainly due to realised and unrealised losses on gold and oil derivative contracts. No contracts were entered into during the six months ended 30 June 2021.
Corporate administration, marketing and other expenses
Corporate administration, marketing and other expenses increased by $1m, or 3%, from $36m for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $37m for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase mainly relates to the exchange rate impact of a relatively stronger South African Rand against the US Dollar and higher audit and consultancy fees, partly offset by a decrease in labour cost, office running costs, directors’ and officers’ insurance and travel costs.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs increased by $3m, or 5%, from $56m for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $59m for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase is mainly due to an increase in pre-feasibility studies expenditures, partly offset by a decrease in brownfields exploration cost and a decrease in greenfields exploration cost.
Other expenses
Other expenses decreased by $2m, or 7%, from $28m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $26m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The decrease mainly relates to a decrease in other indirect taxes in Argentina, legal fees and project costs incurred during the six months ended 30 June 2020 which were not repeated during the corresponding period in 2021, and a decrease in government fiscal claims, cost of old tailings operations and other expenses in Brazil and Ghana, partly offset by care and maintenance costs being incurred at Obuasi due to the suspension of mining activities since May 2021 and a refund from insurance claim during the six months ended 30 June 2020 not being repeated during the corresponding period in 2021.
Foreign exchange (losses) gains
A loss from foreign exchange movements of $31m was recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to a gain of $18m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The loss was mainly a result of adverse movements of the Brazilian Real, Argentinean Peso and Australian Dollar against the US Dollar.
Finance costs and unwinding of obligations
Finance costs and unwinding of obligations decreased by $31m, or 36%, from $86m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $55m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The decrease is mainly due to finance costs for borrowings decreasing by $17m, or 26%, from $65m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $48m in the six months ended 30 June 2021 mainly as a result of the repayment of the $700m 10-year bond due 2020 with a semi-annual coupon of 5.375% in April 2020 and the issuance of a $700m 10-year bond due 2030 with a semi-annual coupon of 3.75% in October 2020, the $1.4bn multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) being undrawn during the six months ended 30 June 2021, partly offset by an increase in capitalised interest at Obuasi. Unwinding of obligations decreased by $15m, or 88%, from $17m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $2m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The decrease relates mainly to discounting of indirect taxes at Geita in the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Share of associates and joint ventures’ profit
Share of associates and joint ventures’ profit increased by $3m, or 3%, from $119m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $122m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase was mainly due to an increase in revenue as a result of an increase in the gold price received, partly offset by higher operating costs and other expenses and an increase in taxation.
Investments in associates and joint ventures increased by $52m, or 3%, from $1,644m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $1,696m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase relates mainly to higher equity earnings at Kibali and Rand Refinery, partially offset by dividends received and exchange rate movement.

Profit before taxation
Profit before taxation decreased by $90m, or 15%, from a profit of $597m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to a profit of $507m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The decrease was mainly attributable to an increase in cost of sales and foreign exchange and other losses, partly offset by an increase in interest income, lower finance costs and unwinding of obligations.
Taxation
Taxation expense decreased by $74m from an expense of $208m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to an expense of $134m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, which represents a 36% decrease. The decrease in taxation is mainly attributable to lower current tax due to lower revenue received in Ghana, Australia, Tanzania and Brazil and lower deferred tax due to foreign exchange translation on non-monetary items in Brazil, partly offset by the impact of lower deferred tax assets recorded in Guinea due to adjustments to tax losses claimable during the five-year tax holiday and in South Africa.
Profit attributable to equity shareholders
Net profit attributable to equity shareholders from continuing operations decreased by $20m from a profit of $382m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to a profit of $362m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, representing a decrease of 5%. The decrease was mainly due to an increase in cost of sales of $110m and a year-on-year movement in foreign exchange and other losses of $49m, partly offset by a loss on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts of $15m incurred during the six months ended 30 June 2020 which was not repeated during the six months ended 30 June 2021, a higher interest income of $20m, a decrease in finance costs and unwinding of obligations of $31m and lower taxation of $74m.
Discontinued operations
The South African producing assets and related liabilities, which were sold on 30 September 2020, are recorded as a discontinued operation. Harmony Gold took effective control of these producing assets and liabilities on 1 October 2020. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, a profit from discontinued operations of $39m was recorded.
Comparison of cash flows in the six months ended 30 June 2021 with the six months ended 30 June 2020
Cash flow was assisted in the six months ended 30 June 2021 by a $149/oz, or 9%, increase in the gold price received per ounce from $1,652/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $1,801/oz for the corresponding period in 2021. The increase in revenue from product sales was partially offset by a decrease in production in Africa, Australia and the Americas.
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities reduced by $85m, or 15%, to a net inflow of $467m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, from a net inflow of $552m in the six months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease in cash flows generated by operations compared to the same period last year was mainly due to higher cost of sales and an increase in tax payments to $225m in the six months ended 30 June 2021 from $166m in the six months ended 30 June 2020, mainly due to higher payments in Brazil as a result of higher profits earned during the period, partly offset by an increase in average gold price received, dividends received from joint ventures and lower net cash outflow from operating working capital items (movements in working capital).
Net cash outflow from operating working capital items (movements in working capital) amounted to $20m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared with an outflow of $192m in the six months ended 30 June 2020, representing a decrease of $172m, or 90%. Movements in working capital was impacted by continued lock-ups of value added tax (VAT) at Geita and Kibali and export duties at Cerro Vanguardia. In Tanzania, the Company calculates that net overdue recoverable VAT input credit refunds owed to it by the Tanzanian government increased by $5m during the first half of 2021 to $144m at 30 June 2021 from $139m at 31 December 2020 despite off-setting $22m against corporate tax payments in June 2021. In Argentina, the Company recorded no net change in the export duty receivables during the first half of 2021, which remained at a net amount of $23m at 30 June 2021. Cerro Vanguardia had a cash balance equivalent to $151m at 30 June 2021, of which $144m is currently eligible to be declared as dividends. Application has been made to the Argentinean Central Bank to approve $47m to be paid offshore and the Company expects to submit an application for the remaining $97m during the second half of 2021. While the approval is pending, the cash remains fully available for Cerro Vanguardia’s operational requirements.
Dividends received from associates and joint ventures increased by $17m from $54m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $71m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. AngloGold Ashanti received quarterly dividends of $36m and $35m from Kibali (Jersey) Limited in the first and second quarters of 2021, respectively, compared to dividends totaling $54m received from Kibali (Jersey) Limited during the first six months of 2020. At the end of June 2021, the Company’s attributable share of the outstanding cash balances awaiting repatriation from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was $485m. The cash, included in the net assets of the joint venture, is held in the private US Dollar-denominated bank accounts of the Kibali joint venture in the DRC and is fully available for Kibali’s operational requirements. Barrick Gold Corporation, the operator of the Kibali joint venture, continues to engage with the DRC government, including the newly appointed cabinet, regarding the 2018 Mining Code and the cash repatriation. In the DRC, the Company calculates that its attributable share of the net recoverable VAT balance owed to it by the DRC government increased by $5m during the first half of 2021 to $74m at 30 June 2021 from $69m at 31 December 2020.
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash flows from investing activities amounted to a net outflow of $395m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, which is $88m, or 29%, higher than a net outflow of $307m in the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase in expenditure was mainly due to higher stripping at Tropicana, higher spend on growth projects relating to the Golden Delicious project at Sunrise Dam and an increase in mine development costs and associated costs with TSFs at Córrego do Sítio (CdS), higher stripping capital expenditure due to an increase in waste tonnes mined as a result of a change in the mine plan at Iduapriem and an increase in expansion capital expenditure at the Colombian growth sites. The increased investment spend was partly offset by receipt of dividends from other investments during the six months ended 30 June 2021, a decrease in cash restricted for use and an increase in interest received.

Cash flows from financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities amounted to a net outflow of $291m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, which is a change of $851m from a net inflow of $560m in the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Proceeds from borrowings amounted to $1,526m in the six months ended 30 June 2020, compared to $7m for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The six months ended 30 June 2020 included a full drawdown on the $1.4bn multi-currency RCF of $1,393m, a drawdown of $87m on the R2.5bn South African RCF (which was cancelled in October 2020) and proceeds of $46m on the South African R500m RMB corporate overnight facility.
Cash outflows from repayment of borrowings amounted to $811m during the six months ended 30 June 2020, compared to $7m during the six months ended 30 June 2021. The six months ended 30 June 2020 included the full repayment of the $700m 10-year bond due 2020, a repayment of $37m on the $1.4bn multi-currency RCF, a $29m repayment on the R2.5bn South African RCF (which was cancelled in October 2020), and the repayment of $45m on the South African R500m RMB corporate overnight facility.
Finance costs paid decreased by $18m from $67m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $49m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. The $700m 10-year bond due 2020 with a semi-annual coupon of 5.375% was repaid in April 2020 and replaced with the issuance of a $700m 10-year bond due 2030 with a semi-annual coupon of 3.75% in October 2020. A decrease of $6m in finance costs paid is attributable to the lower semi-annual coupon payments on the new bond issued by the Company last year. The remaining decrease of $12m is mainly due to the $1.4bn multi-currency RCF being undrawn during the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to it being drawn during the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Other borrowing costs were nil for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to $18m for the six months ended 30 June 2020, which related to the $1bn standby credit facility signed in April 2020 that was put in place at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to provide additional liquidity and was cancelled in October 2020. As a result, such costs were not repeated in the six months ended 30 June 2021.
In the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Company declared and paid a dividend of $207m to its shareholders, compared to a dividend of $44m declared and paid in the six months ended 30 June 2020. The Company will pay an interim dividend of 6 US cents per share to its shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2021.
Liquidity
Profit before taxation decreased by $90m, or 15%, from $597m in the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $507m in the six months ended 30 June 2021. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Adjusted EBITDA) decreased by $159m, or 15%, to $876m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, from $1,035m in the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Total borrowings decreased by $780m, or 27%, from $2,885m at 30 June 2020 to $2,105m at 30 June 2021. Adjusted net debt decreased by $581m, or 41%, from $1,431m at 30 June 2020 to $850m at 30 June 2021. At 30 June 2021, the group had a cash position (cash and cash equivalents) of $1,081m, with strong liquidity comprising the $1.4bn multi-currency RCF which was undrawn, the $143m Geita RCF of which $34m was undrawn and the South African R500m ($35m) RMB corporate overnight facility which was undrawn, while the $65m Siguiri RCF was fully drawn.
AngloGold Ashanti intends to finance its capital expenditure, capital lease obligations, other purchase obligations, environmental rehabilitation expenditures and debt repayment requirements in 2021 from cash on hand, cash flow from operations, existing credit facilities and, potentially, if deemed appropriate, long-term debt financing and the issuance of equity and equity-linked instruments. As part of the management of liquidity, funding and interest rate risk, the group regularly evaluates market conditions and may enter into transactions, from time to time, to repurchase outstanding debt, pursuant to open market purchases, tender offers or other means.
The group manages capital using various financial metrics including the ratio of Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (gearing). Both the calculation of Adjusted net debt and Adjusted EBITDA to test compliance with the financial maintenance covenants included in the group’s revolving credit facility agreements is based on the formulae included in those agreements. For purposes of those financial maintenance covenants, the ratio of Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as such terms are defined in the revolving credit facility agreements) shall not exceed 3.5 times. The revolving credit facilities also permit the group to have a leverage ratio of greater than 3.5 times but less than 4.5 times, subject to certain conditions, for one measurement period not exceeding six months, during the tenor of the facilities. The ratio of Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the revolving credit facility agreements) at 30 June 2021 was 0.37 times, compared with 0.24 times at 31 December 2020 and 0.73 times at 30 June 2020.
Supplemental parent guarantor and subsidiary issuer financial information
AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc (the “Issuer”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti Limited (the “Guarantor”), has issued three series of outstanding debt securities which are each fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor (the “guaranteed debt securities”). The Issuer is a company incorporated under the laws of the Isle of Man that holds certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations and assets located outside of South Africa. The guaranteed debt securities outstanding as of 30 June 2021 consisted of:
•a $300m 30-year bond, with a maturity date of 15 April 2040 and a fixed coupon of 6.500% payable semi-annually;
•a $750m 10-year bond, with a maturity date of 1 August 2022 and a fixed coupon of 5.125% payable semi-annually; and
•a $700m 10-year bond, with a maturity date of 1 October 2030 and a fixed coupon of 3.750% payable semi-annually.
The Guarantor fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each of the guaranteed debt securities, including any additional amounts, when and as any such payments become due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or declaration of acceleration, or otherwise. The Guarantor has obtained the approval of the South African Reserve Bank to provide each of the guarantees. Each guarantee constitutes unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Guarantor and ranks equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding. Each guarantee is or will be effectively subordinated to any of the Guarantor’s existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of the Guarantor’s subsidiaries. As at 30 June 2021, all of the debt of

the Guarantor was unsecured. Under the terms of each full and unconditional guarantee, holders of the guaranteed debt securities will not be required to exercise their remedies against the Issuer before they proceed directly against the Guarantor.
The following summarised financial information reflects, on a combined basis, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Issuer and the Guarantor (collectively, the “Obligor Group”). Intercompany balances and transactions within the Obligor Group have been eliminated. Amounts attributable to the Obligor Group’s investment in consolidated subsidiaries that have not issued or guaranteed the guaranteed debt securities (the “Non-Obligor Subsidiaries”) have been excluded. The Obligor Group’s amounts due from, amounts due to and transactions with Non-Obligor Subsidiaries have been separately disclosed, if considered to be material. The summarised financial information below should be read in conjunction with AngloGold Ashanti’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021.

Capital expenditure
Total capital expenditure (including equity-accounted joint ventures) increased by $115m, or 33%, year-on-year to $461m in the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to $346m in the six months ended 30 June 2020. Total sustaining capital expenditure increased by $112m, or 56%, from $199m for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $311m for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase was largely due to expenditure on stripping activities at Iduapriem and Tropicana as well as increased expenditure on the Brazilian tailings compliance programme. The strategy of improving operating flexibility through investment in Ore Reserve development and Ore Reserve expansion at sites with high geological potential over the next two years, remains a key priority and is reflected in the higher sustaining capital expenditure recorded in the six months ended 30 June 2021. Total non-sustaining capital expenditure increased by $3m, or 2%, from $147m for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to $150m for the six months ended 30 June 2021.
During the six months ended 30 June 2021, capital expenditure-related activities such as waste stripping at Tropicana, Iduapriem and Sunrise Dam’s Golden Delicious pit continued and remained on track. At Geita, the underground portal development at Geita Hill East progressed and mining operations commenced at the Nyamulilima open pit on 17 April 2021. In Brazil, the Company continued its investments to convert existing TSFs to dry-stack facilities at all Brazilian mine sites in a market characterised by increased competition for skills and engineering resources as well as a decrease in efficiency due to COVID-19-related safety protocols, in order to meet deadlines required under new legislation.
Obuasi fatality incident review
A decision was made to suspend underground mining activities at Obuasi after the sill pillar failure on 18 May 2021 which resulted in the tragic loss of one of our colleagues. The sill pillar in the footwall of the hanging wall lodes failed resulting in this fatal injury. Due to the nature

of the incident, and the unexpected settlement of backfill below the affected area, we are undertaking a detailed review of all underground work areas.
The detailed review into the incident and its causes has been followed by a thorough external review of the future mining fronts to ensure that recommendations from the incident investigation are implemented, and that the mechanisms of failure are not present elsewhere. This holistic review, conducted by Australia’s AMC Consultants, will cover the mine design, schedule and ground management plan. Underground development and work related to the Obuasi redevelopment project have resumed, while underground mining activities remain suspended pending conclusion of both the review and implementation of the investigation recommendations. While there is currently no certainty regarding the exact timing of a restart of the underground mining activities, our current estimate is that these will likely resume towards the end of 2021. This estimate is preliminary in nature and subject to revision at any time without notice. An update will be provided once the mine review has been completed and reviewed by the Board of Directors

SAFETY UPDATE
Regrettably, the Company recorded two fatalities during the first half of the year. In February 2021, an employee at the Serra Grande mine in Brazil was fatally injured in a fall-of-ground related incident during blasting preparation activities. In May 2021, an employee at the Obuasi mine in Ghana was fatally injured in an underground sill pillar failure incident. AngloGold Ashanti remains strongly committed to improving safety across its global portfolio. We remain focused on our safe production strategy and on intensifying our safety practices for a sustainable improvement in this area.
The All-injury frequency rate (AIFR) for the group was 1.76 injuries per million hours worked during the second quarter of 2021, a 33% improvement from 2.64 injuries per million hours worked in the first quarter of the year. For the six months ended 30 June 2021, AIFR was 2.19 injuries per million hours worked, which represents a 22% change compared to 1.80 injuries per million hours worked in the same period a year ago. AIFR measures workplace safety in terms of the total number of injuries and fatalities that occur per million hours worked (by employees and contractors).
COVID-19
AngloGold Ashanti continues to respond to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, including the multiple waves of the outbreak and the surge of new variants of the virus, while contributing to the global effort to stop the spread of the virus and provide public health and economic relief to local communities. The Company has taken a number of proactive steps to protect employees, host communities and the business itself. These steps have been in line with the Company’s values, the requirements of the countries in which we operate, and guidelines provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). The health and well-being of our employees and our host communities remains a key priority for us. We remain mindful that the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on communities and economies, and the actions authorities may take in response to it, are subject to change depending on prevailing conditions from time to time.
During the first half of 2021, our Brazilian operations and the Obuasi mine were most affected as new variants of the virus caused greater community infections, leading to an increase in general absenteeism and the number of employees in quarantine and isolation, with a consequent impact on productivity at those operations. While infection rates in Brazil and Ghana have since declined from the recent peaks, the number of cases in Brazil remains high. In addition, Cerro Vanguardia continues to operate at between 60% to 80% mining capacity due to ongoing inter-provincial travel restrictions in Argentina, which continue to prevent certain employees from travelling to this remote site, hampering normal crew rotations. The government-imposed lockdowns, quarantines and travel restrictions in Argentina have necessitated an expansion of on-site accommodation to facilitate increased numbers of people on site for longer periods of time.

Access to vaccines is slowly improving in our operating jurisdictions, with vaccination roll-out programmes largely administered according to each government’s priority rankings, with some countries like Ghana, Guinea and Brazil prioritising mineworkers as an essential category in earlier phases of their respective vaccination programmes. All sites have commenced vaccination and to date, about 24% of the Company’s total workforce (employees and contractors) have received their first dose and about 9%, mainly from the Siguiri and Obuasi mines, have been fully vaccinated. Our operations continue to implement and strengthen controls on site and in our communities, including facilitating access to vaccines. We continue to monitor the pandemic and update guidelines and response plans to ensure preparedness while maintaining programmes for awareness, prevention, surveillance, early detection and control at a group and site level.
The impact on production from COVID-19 in the first half of 2021 was estimated at 42,000oz, compared to an estimated impact of 22,000oz in the first half of 2020 for our continuing operations.
OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
African Operations
In the Africa region, subsidiaries produced 540,000oz (excluding pre-production ounces) at a cost of sales of $691m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,027/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 541,000oz (excluding pre-production ounces) at a cost of sales of $581m and a total cash cost per ounce of $722/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Joint ventures produced 177,000oz at a cost of sales of $178m and a total cash cost per ounce of $699/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 181,000oz at a cost of sales of $164m and a total cash cost per ounce of $594/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
The Africa region is currently operating in the context of planned reduced flexibility and continues to be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Costs in the region showed an upward trend during the first six months of 2021 as some operations initiated their strategy of reinvestment focusing on long-term ore source access through pre-stripping and Ore Reserve development as well as the necessary infrastructure requirements. Operational Excellence remains one of the key ongoing initiatives to unlock value for the region in the short term and to offset current cost and production headwinds.
In Ghana, Iduapriem’s production decreased by 36,000oz, or 26%, to 101,000oz at a cost of sales of $126m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,134/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 137,000oz at a cost of sales of $147m and a total cash cost per ounce of $743/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease in production was mainly due to a planned reduction in recovered grade year-on-year, which was partly offset by higher tonnes processed, compared to higher grade areas mined and treated in the same period last year. Cost of sales decreased mainly as a result of lower amortisation due to lower gold production and lower stripping amortisation at Teberebie Cut 1 and Cut 3, lower environmental rehabilitation provision due to changes in inflation and discount rates used in calculating rehabilitation costs, partly offset by higher ore stockpile adjustments due to increased movements in ore stockpiles and higher reagent, fuel and labour costs. Total cash costs per ounce increased primarily as a result of lower production, unfavourable ore stockpile movements and higher reagent, fuel and labour costs. Iduapriem, which has entered a three-year reinvestment phase, is currently undertaking extensive waste stripping in Block 7 and Block 8 to provide operational flexibility and access to higher grade ore scheduled for treatment in 2022.
Gold production at Obuasi was 85,000oz at a cost of sales of $116m and a total cash cost per ounce of $999/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 77,000oz at a cost of sales of $34m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,145/oz for the six months ended 31 December 2020. Obuasi’s production continued to ramp up on schedule prior to the suspension of all underground mining activities following a fatal incident on 18 May 2021, which remains in place at this time. The current suspension, investigation and review of future mining fronts will result in a delay to the ramp-up of production at the Obuasi gold mine.
In Tanzania, Geita's production decreased by 70,000oz, or 23%, to 237,000oz at a cost of sales of $262m and a total cash cost per ounce of $898/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 307,000oz at a cost of sales of $266m and a total cash cost per ounce of $557/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease in production is mainly due to low grade ore stockpiles and the depletion of the Nyankanga open pit in 2020. Production in the first half of 2021 was exclusively from Star & Comet and Nyankanga underground operations. Cost of sales decreased mainly as a result of lower stripping amortisation due to open pit mining completed at Nyankanga Cut 8 during 2020, lower labour and contractors’ costs and lower fuel costs, partly offset by additional ore stockpile costs due to depletion of stockpiles. Higher total cash costs per ounce for the period were mainly driven by lower gold production, additional ore stockpile costs due to depletion of stockpiles and other increased operational costs in the first half of 2021, compared to the same period last year. Mining operations commenced at the Nyamulilima open pit, ahead of schedule, on 17 April 2021. Once commissioned, the higher-grade ore from Nyamulilima and Geita Hill underground will partially replace the high -grade Nyankanga ore source depleted in 2020.
In Guinea, Siguiri's production increased by 19,000oz, or 19%, to 117,000oz at a cost of sales of $187m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,214/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 98,000oz at a cost of sales of $169m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,217/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The higher production was primarily due to a 26% increase in recovered grades from improved plant recoveries due to CIL conversion at the end of 2020, as well as higher-grade ore mined in the first quarter of 2021. Cost of sales increased mainly as a result of higher operating costs related to reduced fleet availability as well as higher reagent and fuel costs, ore stockpile depletion and higher royalties resulting from higher gold price and additional volumes sold, partly offset by lower environmental rehabilitation provision due to changes in inflation and discount rates used in calculating rehabilitation costs. Total cash costs per ounce were nearly flat year-on-year as the benefit of higher gold production was largely offset by higher operating costs related to reduced fleet availability as well as higher reagent and fuel costs, ore stockpile depletion and higher royalties resulting from higher gold price and additional volumes sold in the first half of 2021.
In the DRC, Kibali's production decreased by 4,000oz, or 2%, to 177,000oz at a cost of sales of $178m and a total cash cost per ounce of $699/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 181,000oz at a cost of sales of $164m and a total cash cost per ounce of $594/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Gold production was marginally lower year-on-year mainly due to lower grades, which was partly offset by higher tonnes milled. Cost of sales increased mainly as a result of higher labour and contractors’ costs and increased ore stockpile costs as a result of a drawdown in the stockpiles, partly offset by lower amortisation due to lower gold production. Total cash costs per ounce increased in the first half of 2021 primarily due to lower production and increased ore stockpile costs.

International Operations
The Americas region production declined by 29,000oz, or 10%, to 261,000oz at a cost of sales of $364m and a total cash cost per ounce of $923/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 290,000oz at a cost of sales of $387m and a total cash cost per ounce of $826/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The estimated COVID-19 impacts on production for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was 16,000oz.
In Brazil, at AngloGold Ashanti Mineração, production decreased by 2,000oz, or 1%, to 151,000oz at a cost of sales of $195m and a total cash cost per ounce of $889/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 153,000oz at a cost of sales of $192m and a total cash cost per ounce of $852/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Gold production was marginally lower year-on-year mainly due to a fall in recovered grades which was partially offset by higher tonnes processed. Despite strict internal protocols, the Brazilian operations were heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with approximately two out of five employees having tested positive since the outbreak of the pandemic. As a result, absenteeism remained high during the first half of 2021. Cost of sales increased mainly as a result of higher labour and contractors’ costs due to COVID-19 related impacts and higher amortisation due to an increase in contract leases, partly offset by lower environmental rehabilitation provision due to changes in inflation and discount rates used in calculating rehabilitation costs and the favourable movement in the exchange rate of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar. Total cash costs per ounce at AGA Mineração for the first half of 2021 were higher year-on-year mainly due to lower gold production and increased operational costs. These increases were partly offset by the favourable movement in the exchange rate of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar and higher by-product revenue.
At Cuiabá, new COVID-19 cases peaked at the start of the second quarter of 2021, and gradually decreased as the quarter progressed. Absenteeism remained high and continued to negatively impact productivity. Despite this, Cuiabá continued to drive operational improvements with strong advance rates in critical development ends and plant throughput 163,000 tonnes higher than in the first half of 2020. Challenges included lower mined grades resulting from changes to the geological models, and lower mining recovery rates. Operational flexibility remained a key objective for the mine making Ore Reserve development a priority.
At Córrego do Sítio (CdS), COVID-19 had a similarly negative impact on production. Furthermore, a reduction in plant throughput commenced in the second quarter of 2021 and is expected to last until the end of the year in order to remain within existing permitted tailings capacity until the new Outotec filter is commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2021. Costs were adversely impacted by increased operational costs and equipment rental necessitated by extended lead times in equipment deliveries, partially offset by a weaker exchange rate of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar and higher by-product credits. The focus at CdS remains on accelerating Ore Reserve development and infill exploration drilling, which was 37% higher than in the first six months of 2020, to improve Mineral Resource confidence by eliminating inferred material from the mine plan.
At Serra Grande, production decreased by 7,000oz, or 16%, to 38,000oz at a cost of sales of $53m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,129/ oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 45,000oz at a cost of sales of $50m and a total cash cost per ounce of $821/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Production was lower year-on-year mainly due to the negative impact of COVID-19 on mining operations as well as operational impacts of the fatality experienced in February 2021. Cost of sales increased mainly as a result of higher operating costs related to mining contractors, higher equipment, consumables, fuel and salaries costs and an increase in amortisation due to an increase in contract leases, partly offset by lower environmental rehabilitation provision due to change inflation and discount rates used in calculating rehabilitation costs. The increase in cost of sales was also partly offset by the favourable movement in the exchange rate of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar. Total cash costs per ounce were higher year-on-year, mainly due to lower gold production, higher operating costs related to mining contractors and higher equipment, consumables, fuel and salaries costs. These costs were partly offset by the favourable movement in the exchange rate of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar.
In Argentina, Cerro Vanguardia's production decreased by 20,000oz, or 22%, to 72,000oz at a cost of sales of $115m and a total cash cost per ounce of $872/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 92,000oz at a cost of sales of $144m and a total cash cost per ounce of $783/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Production was lower year-on-year mainly due to lower grades in line with the mine plan. A surge in COVID-19 cases in Argentina resulted in further lockdown and travel restrictions, which continued to restrict the movement of supervisory staff needed to operate the mine effectively. As a result, Cerro Vanguardia continued to operate at between 60% and 80% of capacity, and scaled back development and waste stripping. Cost of sales decreased mainly as a result of a weaker exchange rate of the Argentinean Peso against the US Dollar, lower ore stockpile adjustments and lower inventory movements, partly offset by increases in labour costs. Total cash costs per ounce were higher in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period last year, mainly due to cost increases (mainly salary increases) and lower production. These negative effects on total cash costs per ounce were partially offset by a weaker exchange rate of the Argentinean Peso against the US Dollar, favourable inventory movements and higher by-product income derived from the higher average silver price.
The Australia region production decreased by 38,000oz, or 15%, to 222,000oz at a cost of sales of $346m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,296/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 260,000oz at a cost of sales of $331m and a total cash cost per ounce of $967/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
The stronger exchange rate of the Australian Dollar against the US Dollar had a negative impact on costs for most of the second quarter of 2021. High iron ore prices and low unemployment have resulted in a fierce competition for skills causing a higher turnover rate for operators and maintenance staff. This situation has been exacerbated by COVID-19 related border closures requiring new inexperienced workers to enter the mining industry, which has negatively impacted production.
Sunrise Dam production decreased by 14,000oz, or 12%, to 102,000oz at a cost of sales of $176m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,469/ oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 116,000oz at a cost of sales of $153m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,050/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Production was lower year-on-year mainly due to a lower mill feed grade and a lower metallurgical recovery rate as a result of lower than planned grades at the periphery of the main Vogue orebody. Cost of sales increased mainly as a result of increased fuel and power costs, an increase in services, a stronger exchange rate of the Australian Dollar against the US Dollar and higher ore stockpile adjustments due to increased ore stockpile movements, partly offset by lower environmental rehabilitation provision due to changes in inflation and discount rates used in calculating rehabilitation costs. Total cash costs per ounce were higher year-on-year primarily due to lower production, lower grades, unfavourable ore stockpile movements and increased operational costs. This increase was partially offset by a higher amount of ore purchased from a third party in the first six months of 2020. Ongoing drilling at the Frankie underground discovery during the first half of 2021 continued to deliver favourable results and a grade control drilling programme is
June 2021 Interim report - www.AngloGoldAshanti.com

underway to support trial mining in the second half of 2021. The first ore was delivered from the Golden Delicious satellite open pit ahead of schedule during the first half of 2021.
Tropicana production decreased by 24,000oz, or 17%, to 120,000oz at a cost of sales of $155m and a total cash cost per ounce of $1,039/ oz for the six months ended 30 June 2021, compared to 144,000oz at a cost of sales of $165m and a total cash cost per ounce of $822/oz for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Tropicana has also been impacted by labour market shortages. Production was lower year-on-year in line with the mine plan, which continues to focus on waste removal in the Havana cutback. As a result, mill feed during the first half of 2021 comprised low grade stockpiles, and ore from the Boston Shaker pit and the Boston Shaker underground mine. The lower mill feed grade was offset by higher than planned mill throughput and metallurgical recovery. Cost of sales decreased mainly as a result of higher capitalisation of costs related to the Havana cutback, lower stripping amortisation due to depletion of different ore bodies and drawdown of stockpiles and lower environmental rehabilitation provision due to changes in inflation and discount rates used in calculating rehabilitation costs, partly offset by higher labour and contractors’ costs, higher fuel and power costs and a stronger exchange rate of the Australian Dollar against the US Dollar. Total cash costs per ounce were negatively impacted primarily by lower production, a stronger exchange rate of the Australian Dollar against the US Dollar and increased operational costs. The trade-off study to assess the optimal method of mining the deeper ore in the Havana orebody determined that a final cutback of the Havana pit provided superior returns to an early underground strategy. Tropicana’s gold production is expected to be impacted by a failure in the wall of the Boston Shaker open pit in June 2021. The pit was re-designed, with no impact on the Ore Reserve, and some ore scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2021 will be deferred to the first half of 2021.
UPDATE ON CAPITAL PROJECTS
Obuasi Redevelopment Project
Phase 2 of the Obuasi redevelopment project has been substantially completed. The ramp-up from 2,000 tonnes per day to 4,000 tonnes per day of ore mined and processed which follows the completion of the Phase 2 project has been delayed by the suspension of underground mining activities following the sill pillar failure on 18 May 2021, to allow for the investigation and third-party review of the mine, schedule and ground management plans. Resumption of production will be determined following the completion and outcome of this review.
Phase 3 of the project, which relates principally to extended capital expenditure to refurbish existing infrastructure around the KMS Shaft, as well as to service the mine as production areas progress deeper, has commenced and will continue. In addition, non-sustaining and sustaining capital expenditure development will also continue as we look to make up development delays caused by COVID-19, and the consequent lack of skilled personnel at site. Spending has been reduced as much as possible to limit the carrying cost of the project during the first half of 2021, without further impacting the project, capital development or the preparations for a resumption of mining.
Sunrise Dam
Ore mining began in the Golden Delicious satellite open pit during the first half of 2021 ahead of schedule. Golden Delicious will displace low grade stockpiled ore in mill feed.
The accelerated underground exploration programme is yielding encouraging results, particularly from the newly-discovered Frankie zone, which is closer to the surface in the north of the mine, near existing infrastructure. Aggressive drilling at Frankie is focusing on extensions to the north and down dip, and on conversion of Mineral Resource to Ore Reserve. Encouraging exploration results have highlighted the ongoing potential of Vogue, which remains open down plunge, the Flamingo target and the area where the Carey Upper, Carey Main and Vogue domains converge.
Quebradona
At Quebradona, AngloGold Ashanti’s wholly-owned copper and gold project in Colombia, the feasibility study is complete and the applications for the Environmental Impact Assessment and Mining Operations License have been submitted to the Colombian authorities. Meanwhile detailed engineering for early works as well as the finalisation of contract pricing for mine access and earthworks are continuing.
Gramalote
At Gramalote, based on a review of the feasibility study results to date, the joint venture partners, AngloGold Ashanti and B2Gold Corp, believe that there is potential to improve the project by further drilling to improve confidence in the Mineral Resource model and further optimise the project design. The project partners have recently agreed to a revised 2021 feasibility study budget (subject to final joint venture committee approval) of $69m which includes funding for additional drilling and represents an increase of $17m (AngloGold Ashanti's share amounting to $8.5m). Additional drilling is being carried out in the Trinidad deposit and drilling is planned in the Monjas West zone later in 2021.
The project partners are reviewing an additional budget of $17m (AngloGold Ashanti's share amounting to $8.5m) for the first quarter of 2022 to complete the final feasibility study and updated Mineral Resource estimate.
CORPORATE UPDATE
AngloGold Ashanti’s Board Appoints Alberto Calderon as Chief Executive Officer

letter, the proposed transaction is subject to several conditions. No assurances can be given that a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed transaction will be entered into, as to the final terms of any agreed transaction, or that a transaction will be consummated. The Company does not intend to update its disclosures regarding the proposed transaction until a definitive agreement has been reached, or unless disclosure is otherwise required under applicable laws and regulations.
Tropicana Update
On 31 May 2021, Regis Resources Limited completed the acquisition of a 30% interest in the Tropicana joint venture from IGO Limited for a cash consideration of A$903m (subject to certain adjustments). On 22 April 2021, AngloGold Ashanti, the mine’s operator which owns the remaining 70% interest, had decided to waive its pre-emptive right over the 30% interest, paving the way for Regis Resources Limited to acquire the stake from IGO Limited.
Tanzania Arbitration Proceedings Update
On 13 July 2017, Geita Gold Mining Limited and Samax Resources Limited initiated arbitration against the government of Tanzania arising from the enactment by the government of certain legislation that purports to make a number of changes to the operating environment of Tanzania’s extractive industries, including mining. Since January 2019, the arbitral proceedings have been stayed several times in order to afford the parties the opportunity to achieve an amicable resolution of the dispute. On 7 May 2021, the parties concluded a standstill agreement in terms of which the parties have agreed to further stay the arbitration proceedings for a period of 18 months.
Ghana Arbitration Proceedings Update
On 11 October 2011, AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited (AGAG) terminated Mining and Building Contractors Limited’s (MBC) underground development agreement, construction on bulkheads agreement and diamond drilling agreement at the Obuasi mine. The parties reached agreement on the terms of the separation and concluded a separation agreement in November 2012. In February 2014, AGAG was served with a demand issued by MBC claiming a total of $97m. In December 2015, the proceedings were stayed in the High Court pending arbitration. In February 2016, MBC submitted the matter to arbitration. The arbitration panel was constituted and held an arbitration management meeting to address initial procedural matters in July 2019. In May 2020, the Ghana Arbitration Centre granted MBC’s request to stay the arbitral proceedings indefinitely to enable it and AGAG to explore a possible settlement. On 12 April 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement to resolve the matter at no cost to either of the parties.

Notes
for the six months ended 30 June 2021
1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements in this report have been prepared in accordance with the historic cost convention except for certain financial instruments which are stated at fair value. The group prepares interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June and 31 December, and annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December. The group’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the adoption of new or amended standards applicable from 1 January 2021, which had no material impact on the financial statements of the group.
The IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", amendment "Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use" issued by the IASB in May 2020 with an effective date of 1 January 2022, is likely to affect the financial reporting in future years. The amendment will be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment. Management is assessing the impact the amendment will have on the group.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of AngloGold Ashanti have been prepared in compliance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standard, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, the Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, the JSE Listings Requirements and in the manner required by the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 (as amended) for the preparation of financial information of the group for the six months ended 30 June 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Income tax uncertainties
AngloGold Ashanti operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The group has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and to pay the taxes reasonably determined to be due. In some jurisdictions, tax authorities are yet to complete their assessments for previous years. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, the group is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the tax authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules in respect of the group’s business conducted within the country involved. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provisions for income taxes due to the complexity of legislation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
Irrespective of whether potential economic outflows of matters have been assessed as probable or possible, individually significant matters are included below, to the extent that disclosure does not prejudice the group.
Argentina - Cerro Vanguardia SA
The Argentina Tax Authority has challenged the deduction of certain hedge losses, with tax and penalties amounting to $7m (2020: $8m). Management has appealed this matter which has been heard by the Tax Court, with final evidence submitted in 2017. The matter is pending and judgement is expected in the next 24 months. Management is of the opinion that the hedge losses were claimed correctly and no provision has therefore been made.
Brazil - AGA Mineração and Serra Grande
The Brazil Tax Authority has challenged various aspects of the companies’ tax returns for periods from 2003 to 2016 which individually and in aggregate are not considered to be material. Based on engagement with the Brazil Tax Authority, certain amounts have been allowed and assessments reduced, whilst objections have been lodged against the remainder of the findings. In December 2019, Serra Grande received a tax assessment of $21m (2020: $20m) relating to the amortisation of goodwill on the acquisition of mining interests, which is permitted as a tax deduction when the acquirer is a domiciled entity. Management is of the opinion that the Brazil Tax Authority is unlikely to succeed in this matter. This is supported by external legal advice and therefore no provision has been made.
Colombia - La Colosa and Gramalote
The tax treatment of exploration expenditure has been investigated by the Colombian Tax Authority which resulted in claims for taxes and penalties of $80m (1) (2020: $86m) pertaining to the 2010 to 2014 tax years.
These assessments were appealed in 2016 (in the case of La Colosa) and resulted in an adverse judgement on 22 October 2018, in the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca. An appeal was lodged and all arguments submitted to the Council of State on 21 August 2018, with an expected judgement in the next 12 to 18 months as at 30 June 2021. The deduction of exploration costs is prohibited from 2017 onwards following a change in legislation. Subsequent to this date, exploration costs have been treated in accordance with the amended legislation. In July 2019, the Supreme Administrative Court issued a ruling that duplicate penalties may not be charged. The impact of the ruling is that certain penalties will be waived, which reduces the overall exposure by $51m (2020: $76m). The matter is pending and may take two to four

years to be resolved. Management is of the opinion that the Colombian Tax Authority is unlikely to succeed in this matter and therefore no provision has been made.
(1) Includes reduction of overall exposure by $51m (2020: $76m) as described above.
Ghana - Iduapriem
The Ghana Revenue Authority completed a tax audit during the third quarter of 2020 for the 2018 year of assessment claiming a tax liability of $15m (2020: $15m). The claim relates to corporate income taxes, where certain business expenses have been disallowed as a deduction for tax purposes. Management filed an objection to the assessment in September 2020 and is of the opinion that the Ghana Revenue Authority is unlikely to succeed in this matter and therefore no provision has been made.
Guinea - Siguiri
The Guinea Tax Authority has challenged certain aspects of the Company’s tax return for the 2010 year of assessment totalling $8m (attributable) (2020: $8m (attributable)). Management has objected to the assessment. However provision has been made for a portion of the total claims amounting to $2m (attributable) (2020: $2m (attributable)).
Tanzania - Geita
The Tanzania Revenue Authority has raised audit findings on various tax matters for years from 2009 to 2019 amounting to $267m (2020: $254m) including adjusted tax assessments relating to the years from 2015 to 2017 and 2018 to 2019 totalling $13m received in February 2021 and July 2021, respectively. In addition, the Tanzania Revenue Authority has issued Agency Notices on various local bank accounts of the Company in Tanzania, enforcing payments from those bank accounts, despite the matters being on appeal. In order to continue operating its bank accounts and to not impact operations, Geita paid various amounts under protest. Management has objected and appealed through various levels of the legislative processes. Management is of the opinion that the claims of the Tanzania Revenue Authority are unlikely to succeed.
In addition, it should be noted that amendments passed to Tanzanian legislation in 2017 amended the 2010 Mining Act and new Finance Act. Effective from 1 July 2017, the gold mining royalty rate increased to 6% (from 4%) and further a 1% clearing fee on the value of all minerals exported was imposed. The group has been paying the higher royalty and clearing fees since this date, under protest, and is of the view that this is in contravention of its Mining Development Agreement.
Tax impacts of COVID-19
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments have responded with various stimulus packages, to provide relief to companies and individuals, to ensure business and employment continuity. This has been achieved through various tax and employment concessions, over varying periods, mostly commencing in April 2020. In North America, the US Government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act on 27 March 2020. The bill provides various tax relief and incentives such as accelerated access to tax attributes created under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) and resulted in an alternative minimum tax refund of $7m received during the first six months of 2021. Other tax jurisdictions have provided tax relief in various forms to companies which will impact on tax planning and tax payments in the light of the uncertainty created by the pandemic. Management continues to evaluate these tax measures and applies them when appropriate.
In Ghana, the Ghanaian Parliament enacted the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy Act, 2021 (Act 1068), effective 1 May 2021, to impose a special levy on the supply of goods and services and imports to raise revenue to address expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The levy is chargeable at the rate of 1% calculated on the value of the taxable supply of the goods or services or on the value of the imports. It applies to both imports and domestic supply of goods or services in Ghana.

LIBOR linked borrowings
The IBOR Phase 2 amendments became effective on 1 January 2021, The amendments had no material impact on the group financial statements as management is in the process of negotiating new reference rates on the IBOR linked borrowings, with bank syndicates.

Fair value hierarchy
The group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash restricted for use, cash and cash equivalents, trade, other receivables and other assets and trade and other payables
The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Other investments
Listed equity investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) are carried at fair value in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy .
Borrowings
The rated bonds are carried at amortised cost and their fair values, in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, are their closing market values at the reporting date which results in the difference noted in the table below. The interest rate on the remaining borrowings is reset on a short-term floating rate basis and accordingly the carrying amount is considered to approximate the fair value.

Level 3 financial assets
On 12 February 2020, AngloGold Ashanti announced that it had reached an agreement to sell its remaining South African producing assets and related liabilities to Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony). The transaction closed on 30 September 2020. Consideration for the transaction is in cash and deferred payments, subject to subsequent performance, and with additional proceeds if the West Wits assets are developed below current infrastructure.
The two components of the deferred compensation assets are calculated as follows:
a.$260 per ounce payable on all underground production sourced within the West Wits mineral rights (comprising the Mponeng, Savuka and TauTona mines) in excess of 250,000 ounces per annum for 6 years commencing 1 January 2021. Using a probability weighted calculation of unobservable market data and estimated with reference to expected underlying discounted cash flows a deferred compensation asset of $26m is being recognised in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021. Included in the $26m closing balance is a change in estimate resulting in an unrealised loss of $3m (included in "Foreign exchange and other (losses) gains" in the income statement) and unwinding of the non-current receivable of $1m. If the weighted number of ounces used in the weighted probability calculation increases with 10% over the period calculated, the asset value would increase with approximately $3m and if the weighted number of ounces used in the weighted probability calculation decreases with 10% over the period calculated the value of the asset would decrease with approximately $3m. The sensitivity on the weighted number of ounces included within the weighted probability calculation has been based on the range of possible outcomes expected from Harmony’s mining plans, which could differ from the actual mining plans followed by Harmony.
b.$20 per ounce payable on underground production sourced within the West Wits mineral rights (comprising the Mponeng, Savuka and TauTona mines) below the datum of current infrastructure. At transaction date this constituted 8.53 million ounces of reserves. The consideration is dependent on Harmony developing below infrastructure. The performance of this obligation is outside the influence of AngloGold Ashanti as it depends on Harmony’s future investment decisions. Under the conditions prevailing as at 30 June 2021 no portion of deferred compensation below infrastructure has been recognised.
Environmental obligations
Pursuant to environmental regulations in the countries in which we operate, in connection with plans for the eventual end-of-life of our mines, we are obligated to rehabilitate the lands where such mines are located. In most cases, AngloGold Ashanti is required to provide financial guarantees for such work, including reclamation bonds or letters of credit issued by third party entities, independent trust funds or cash reserves maintained by the operation, to the respective environmental protection agency, or such other government department with responsibility for environmental oversight in the respective country, to cover the estimated environmental rehabilitation obligations.
In most cases, the environmental obligations will expire on completion of the rehabilitation although, in some cases, we may be required to post bonds for potential events or conditions that could arise after the rehabilitation has been completed.
In Australia, since 2014, we have paid into a Mine Rehabilitation Fund an amount of AUD $8.2m for a current carrying value of the liability of AUD $139.6m. At Iduapriem, we have provided a bond comprising of a cash component of $10.7m with a further bond guarantee amounting to $38.6m issued by Ecobank Ghana Limited and Standard Chartered Bank Ghana Ltd for a current carrying value of the liability of $53.9m. At Obuasi, we have provided a bond comprising of a cash component of $21.34m with a further bank guarantee amounting to $30m issued by Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited and United Bank for Africa Ghana Limited (UBA) for a current carrying value of the liability of $208.7m. In some circumstances we may be required to post further bonds in due course which will have a consequential income statement charge for the fees charged by the providers of the reclamation bonds.

The credit facilities and other finance arrangements contain financial covenants and other similar undertakings. To the extent that external borrowings are required, the group’s covenant performance indicates that existing financing facilities will be available to meet the above commitments. The financing facilities which mature in the near future are disclosed in current liabilities. The group believes that sufficient measures are in place to ensure that these facilities can be refinanced.

Litigation claims
(1) Litigation - On 11 October 2011, AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited (AGAG) terminated Mining and Building Contractors Limited’s (MBC) underground development agreement, construction on bulkheads agreement and diamond drilling agreement at the Obuasi mine. The parties reached agreement on the terms of the separation and concluded a separation agreement in November 2012. In February 2014, AGAG was served with a demand issued by MBC claiming a total of $97m. In December 2015, the proceedings were stayed in the High Court pending arbitration. In February 2016, MBC submitted the matter to arbitration. The arbitration panel was constituted and held an arbitration management meeting to address initial procedural matters in July 2019. In May 2020, the Ghana Arbitration Centre granted MBC’s request to stay the arbitral proceedings indefinitely to enable it and AGAG to explore a possible settlement. On 12 April 2021, the parties executed a settlement agreement to resolve the matter at no cost to either of the parties.
(2) Litigation - AGAG received a summons on 2 April 2013 from Abdul Waliyu and 152 others in which the plaintiffs allege that 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 plaintiffs’ alleged injuries include respiratory infections, skin diseases and certain cancers. The plaintiffs subsequently did not timely file their application for directions. On 24 February 2014, executive members of the PTP (AGAG) Smoke Effect Association (PASEA), sued AGAG by themselves and on behalf of their members (undisclosed number) on grounds similar to those discussed above, as well as economic hardships as a result of constant failure of their crops. This matter has been adjourned indefinitely. In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a liability, no reliable estimate can be made for AGAG’s obligation in either matter.

15 Restatement of prior year disclosures
Statement of comprehensive income
During 2020, the group completed the sale of its South African operations, including several South African subsidiaries. As a result of the sale, the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR) balance was reassessed. It was determined that the FCTR, which had originated from non-foreign operations would not recycle through the income statement. Non-foreign operations are those entities with the same functional currency (ZAR) as the AngloGold Ashanti Limited parent company, which is different to the group presentation currency (USD). IAS 21 is silent regarding such a situation where a subsidiary is partially or fully disposed of resulting in a partial or full release of the FCTR associated with the subsidiary. The Statement of comprehensive income previously disclosed all foreign currency translation differences as “Items that will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss”. As a result of the reassessment, the FCTR has been split between “Items that will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss” and “Items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss”. The comparatives have been restated to include the revised disclosure.
The adjustment has no impact on reported totals in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the period; other comprehensive income (loss) for the period, net of tax; total comprehensive income (loss) for the period, net of tax; or on earnings per share or headline earnings per share for the period.

16 COVID-19 pandemic
AngloGold Ashanti continues to respond to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, including the multiple waves of the outbreak and the surge of new variants of the virus, while contributing to the global effort to stop the spread of the virus and provide public health and economic relief to local communities. The Company has taken a number of proactive steps to protect employees, host communities and the business itself. These steps have been in line with the Company’s values, the requirements of the countries in which we operate, and guidelines provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). The health and well-being of our employees and our host communities remains a key priority for us. We remain mindful that the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on communities and economies, and the actions authorities may take in response to it, are subject to change depending on prevailing conditions from time to time.
During the first half of 2021, our Brazilian operations and the Obuasi mine were most affected as new variants of the virus caused greater community infections, leading to an increase in general absenteeism and the number of employees in quarantine and isolation, with a consequent impact on productivity at those operations. While infection rates in Brazil and Ghana have since declined from the recent peaks, the number of cases in Brazil remains high. In addition, Cerro Vanguardia continues to operate at between 60% to 80% mining capacity due to ongoing inter-provincial travel restrictions in Argentina, which continue to prevent certain employees from travelling to this remote site, hampering normal crew rotations. The government-imposed lockdowns, quarantines and travel restrictions in Argentina have necessitated an expansion of on-site accommodation to facilitate increased numbers of people on site for longer periods of time.

AngloGold Ashanti Submits Proposal to Acquire Corvus
On 13 July 2021, AngloGold Ashanti announced that a non-binding proposal was submitted to the Board of Directors of Corvus Gold Inc. (Corvus) to acquire for cash all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Corvus which the Company does not already beneficially own. The proposed combination of Corvus’ existing exploration assets with AngloGold Ashanti’s assets in the near vicinity would further consolidate one of the largest new gold districts in Nevada and would provide the opportunity for AngloGold Ashanti to establish, in the medium and longer term, a meaningful, low-cost, long-life production base in this premier mining jurisdiction.

Non-GAAP disclosure
From time to time AngloGold Ashanti Limited may publicly disclose certain “non-GAAP” financial measures in the course of its financial presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls and otherwise.
The financial items “price received”, “price received per ounce”, “total cash costs net of by-product revenue”, “total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “all-in costs”, “all-in-costs per ounce”, “Net debt”, “Adjusted net debt” and “Adjusted EBITDA” have been determined using industry guidelines and practices and are not measures under IFRS. An investor should not consider these items in isolation or as alternatives to production cost of sales, profit/(loss) applicable to equity shareholders, profit/(loss) before taxation, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. The group uses certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing the 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 to, the reported operating results 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 that other companies use.
“Price received per ounce” is a non-GAAP measure which gives an indication of revenue earned per unit of gold sold and includes gold income and realised non-hedge derivatives in its calculation and serves as a benchmark of performance against the spot price of gold. This metric is calculated by dividing attributable gold income (“price received”) by attributable ounces of gold sold.
“Net debt”, “Adjusted net debt” and “Adjusted EBITDA” (as defined in the revolving credit facility agreements) are non-GAAP measures used for the calculation of compliance with the financial maintenance covenants as set out in the group’s revolving credit facility agreements.
During 2018, the World Gold Council (WGC), an industry body, published a revised Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” metrics, which gold mining companies can use to supplement their overall non-GAAP disclosure. The WGC worked closely with its members (including AngloGold Ashanti Limited) to develop these non-GAAP measures which are intended to provide further transparency into the full cost associated with producing gold. It is expected that these metrics, in particular, the “all-in sustaining cost” and “all-in cost” metrics which we provide herein, will be helpful to investors, governments, local communities and other stakeholders in understanding the economics of gold mining.
“All-in sustaining costs” is a non-GAAP measure which is an extension of the existing “total cash costs net of by-product revenue” metric and incorporates all costs related to sustaining production and in particular, recognises sustaining capital expenditures associated with developing and maintaining gold mines. In addition, this metric includes the cost associated with Corporate Office structures that support these operations, the community and rehabilitation costs attendant with responsible mining and any exploration and evaluation cost associated with sustaining current operations. “All-in sustaining costs per ounce” is arrived at by dividing the US Dollar value of this cost metric by the ounces of gold sold.
“All-in costs” is a non-GAAP measure comprising “all-in sustaining costs” including additional costs which reflect the varying costs of producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine including costs incurred at new operations and costs related to major projects at existing operations, which are expected to increase production. “All-in costs per ounce” is arrived at by dividing the US Dollar value of this cost metric by the ounces of gold sold.
“Total cash costs net of by-product revenue” is calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Gold Institute industry standard and industry practice and is a non-GAAP measure. The Gold Institute, which has been incorporated into the National Mining Association, is a non-profit international association of miners, refiners, bullion suppliers and manufacturers of gold products, which developed a uniform format for reporting total cash costs on a per ounce basis. The guidance was first adopted in 1996 and revised in November 1999.
“Total cash costs net of by-product revenue” as calculated and reported by AngloGold Ashanti Limited include costs for all mining, processing, onsite administration costs, royalties and production taxes, as well as contributions from by-products, but exclusive of amortisation of tangible, intangible and right of use assets, rehabilitation costs and other non-cash costs, retrenchment costs, corporate administration, marketing and other costs, capital costs and exploration costs. “Total cash costs per ounce” is calculated by dividing attributable total cash costs net of by-product revenue by attributable ounces of gold produced.
While the Gold Institute provided definitions for the calculation of “total cash costs net of by-product revenue” and the WGC published a Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” metrics, the calculation of “total cash costs net of by-product revenue”, “total cash costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “all-in costs” and “all-in costs per ounce” may vary significantly among gold mining companies, and by themselves do not necessarily provide a basis for comparison with other gold mining companies. However, we believe that “total cash costs net of by-product revenue”, “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” in total by mine and per ounce by mine are useful indicators to investors and management as they provide:
• an indication of profitability, efficiency and cash flows;
• the trend in costs as the mining operations mature over time on a consistent basis; and
• an internal benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other mines, both within the AngloGold Ashanti group and at other
gold mining companies.
Management prepares its internal management reporting documentation, for use and decision making by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), on an attributable basis. The key metrics are based on the attributable ounces, gold income, “total cash costs net of by-product revenue”, “all-in costs” and “all-in sustaining costs” from each operation and as a consequence includes our share of the “total cash costs net of by-product revenue”, “all-in costs” and “all-in sustaining costs” of our joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method. In a capital intensive industry, this basis allows management to make operating and resource allocation decisions on a comparable basis between mining operations irrespective of whether they are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method. This basis of calculating the metrics, where costs should be reported on the same basis as sales (i.e., if sales are reported on an attributable basis, then costs should be reported on an attributable basis), is also consistent with the WGC’s Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” metrics.

Although we have shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with our ownership interests in our equity-accounted joint ventures and review the underlying operating results including “total cash costs net of by-product revenue”, “all-in costs” and “all-in sustaining costs” with them at each reporting period, we do not have direct control over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses, nor do we have a proportionate legal interest in each financial statement line item. Our use of “total cash costs net of by-product revenue”, “all-in costs” and “all-in sustaining costs” on an attributable basis, is not intended to imply that we have any such control or proportionate legal interest, but rather to reflect the non-GAAP measures on a basis consistent with our internal and external segmental reporting.
A reconciliation of both cost of sales and total cash costs as included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 to “all-in sustaining costs”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “all-in costs”, “all-in costs per ounce”, “total cash costs net of by-product revenue” and “total cash costs per ounce” for each of the six-month periods ended 30 June 2021 and 2020 and the year ended 31 December 2020 is presented on a total and segment basis in Note D. In addition, we have provided detail of the attributable ounces of gold produced and sold by mine for each of those periods below.
A reconciliation of both gold income and profit/(loss) before taxation as included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 to “price received”, “price received per ounce” and “Adjusted EBITDA” for each of the six-month periods ended 30 June 2021 and 2020 and the year ended 31 December 2020 is presented in Notes A and B.
A reconciliation of total borrowings as included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 to “Net debt” and “Adjusted net debt” for each of the six-month periods ended 30 June 2021 and 2020 and the year ended 31 December 2020 is presented in Note C.

Forward-looking statements
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, total cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, all-in 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, dispositions or joint venture transactions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources and capital expenditures and the outcome and consequence 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, any supply chain disruptions, any public health crises, pandemics or epidemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), and other business and operational risks and other factors, including mining accidents. For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2020, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 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.

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 measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies may use.
