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. For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2019, and the Risk Factors section in AngloGold Ashanti's Prospectus Supplement dated 28 September 2020, which have each been 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.

Economic assumptions for 2021 are as follows: $/A$0.72, BRL5.00/$, AP98.00/$, ZAR16.95/$; and Brent $50/bbl.
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 (excepted 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. Accordingly, 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 2019 and the Risk Factors section in AngloGold Ashanti's Prospectus Supplement dated 28 September 2020, which have each been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Furthermore, our five-year indicativeoutlook 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 or other discontinuation of those projects may have a material adverse impact on our indicative outlook.

• 15.4 Moz in New Mineral Resource added during the last 5 years
• Average annual Brownfields Exploration cost of $105m over the last 5 years, representing an all-in $27.33/oz for new Ore Reserves added
• Two new discoveries in the past 15 years are now in operation with two more advancing through study phases
Totals shown are net of the sale of the CC&V mine in 2015 and Sadiola mine in 2020
Focused grassroots exploration targeting discoveries aligned with regional business unitsStable budget allocations directed toward systematic identification and development of high probability mine site lease area targets
Investments targeted toward companies exploring in highly prospective terranes

• Provide predictable ore reserve growth replacing production depletion
• Extend mine life through investment in
Mineral Resource to Ore Reserve conversion
• Improve confidence in scheduled production with infill drilling
• Long-term horizon for investments
• Elevated interaction when projects gain traction and begin to advance
• Periodic portfolio reviews to consider whether investments remain aligned with strategy or should exit the portfolio with funds redeployed with advancing projects or into new investments
