These forward-looking statements or forecasts are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect our current beliefs and expectations concerning future events and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words, phrases and expressions such as "believe", "expect", "aim", "anticipate", "intend", "foresee", "forecast", "predict", "project", "estimate", "likely", "may", "might", "could", "should", "would", "seek", "plan", "scheduled", "possible", "continue", "potential", "outlook", "target" or other similar words, phrases, and expressions; provided that the absence thereof does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are or may be 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, performance, actions or achievements could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic, social, political and market conditions, including related to inflation or international conflicts, 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), the failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or effective disclosure controls and procedures, the inability to remediate one or more material weaknesses, or the discovery of additional material weaknesses, in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, and other business and operational risks and challenges 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 2023 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

WHAT DOES REDUCING OUR CARBON EMISSIONS MEAN?
Reducing our carbon emissions…
Our commitment
- A 30% absolute reduction in Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions*
from energy use by 2030**
• Net zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 using renewable-energy technology to deliver full electrification of our operations
- Collaboration with targeted suppliers to reduce material Scope 3 GHG emissions
*Emissions from the consumption of fossil-based energy is the main source of carbon emissions for AngloGold Ashanti ** 2021 Baseline: Combined Scope 1 & Scope 2
Using 2021 carbon emissions as our
baseline:
1.4 Mt CO2e
Targeting a
30%
net reduction by 2030 requires a
46%
absolute reduction from our forecast emissions
…delivers value for our business, our industry and our stakeholders.

SCOPE OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT EMISSIONS
Our Roadmap to Net Zero focuses on all sources of energy-related emissions…
Scope 1: Direct emissions from operations that are owned or controlled by AngloGold Ashanti; primarily emissions from fossil fuel combustion activities.
Purchased
goods
Upstream transport
SCOPE 1
Fuel and
energy-related
emissions
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from generation of | SCOPE 3 SCOPE 2 | Fossil fuel |
purchased electricity consumed by managed | combustion activities: Used in | |
heavy mining equipment and | ||
operations. | in electrical power generators | |
at off-grid sites | ||
Scope 3: Indirect emissions from our Supply | ||
Chain; our material Scope 3 emissions occur in | ||
just three of the fifteen GHG Protocol categories, | Generation of | |
namely purchased goods and services, fuel and | purchased electricity | |
energy related activities and upstream transport.
…through a combination of renewable energy projects, fleet electrification and lower-emission power sources.

We signed an agreement with Pacific Energy to construct the renewable wind and solar project, while continuing to operate the combined renewables-gas power station under a 10-year build-own-operatecontract.
The renewables integration is expected to almost eliminate Tropicana's diesel consumption for power generation and reduce natural gas consumption for power generation by approximately 50%.
…with completion planned for January 2025.
