Production, cost and capital expenditure forecasts include existing assets as well as the Quebradona and
Gramalote projects that remain subject to approval, Mineral Resource conversion and high confidence inventory.
Cost and capital forecast ranges are expressed in nominal terms. In addition, both production and cost estimates
assume neither operational or labour interruptions, or power disruptions, nor further changes to asset portfolio
and/or operating mines (except as described above) and have not been reviewed by our external auditors. Other
unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results and no assurance
can be given that any expectations expressed by AngloGold Ashanti will prove to have been correct. Measures
taken at our operations together with our business continuity plans aim to enable our operations to deliver in line
with our production targets. We, however, remain mindful that the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on communities
and economies, and the actions authorities may take in response to it, are largely unpredictable. Actual results
could differ from guidance and/or indicative outlook and any deviation may be significant. Please refer to the Risk
Factors section in 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). Furthermore, our five-year indicative outlook
assumes that AngloGold Ashanti proceeds with the Quebradona and Gramalote projects. However, the Board has
not yet made a final decision on those projects and there can be no assurance that they will materialise. A negative
decision on, delay in, or other discontinuation of those projects may have a material adverse impact on our
indicative outlook.

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
