AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
The SAMREC/JORC definition of a Mineral Resource is
as follows:
A Mineral Resource is a concentration or occurrence of material of
intrinsic economic interest in or on the earth’s crust in such form,
quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological
characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known,
estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and
knowledge. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing
geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured
categories.
The Mineral Resource is estimated using all drilling and sampling
information along with a detailed geological model. The geological
models are based on core logging, mapping, geophysics,
geochemistry and geological understanding that have been developed
for each deposit. Most of the AngloGold Ashanti deposits have been
the subject of research by world experts in the class of gold deposit.
The grade estimation for each deposit has been developed over the
life of the mine and is constantly reviewed in terms of grade control
information and reconciliation with the metallurgical plant. In general,
the deep South African mines utilise a process of compound log
normal macro kriging for the estimation of the Mineral Resource, while
the open pits and shallow underground mines generally use
recoverable Mineral Resource models, estimated using uniform
conditioning or multiple indicator kriging.
In order to comply with the economic requirement of the definition of
a Mineral Resource, all AngloGold Ashanti Mineral Resources are
constrained at an upside gold price, with all other parameters being
kept the same as used for estimation of the Ore Reserve. In the
underground gold mines, scoping studies are conducted on all
coherent blocks of ground that lie above the calculated Mineral
Resource cut-off. These studies include all cost and capital
requirements to access the block. In the case of open-pit operations,
pit optimisations are conducted at the Mineral Resource gold price
and all material outside these shells is excluded from the Mineral
Resource, unless it is potentially mineable from underground.
It is the opinion of AngloGold Ashanti that the Mineral Resource
represents a realistic view of an upside potential to the Ore Reserve. In
interpreting the Mineral Resource it is critical to factor in the following:
(i)
The Mineral Resource is quoted in situ and has not been
corrected for dilution, mining losses or recovery.
(ii)
The Mineral Resource includes a high percentage of Inferred
material, which, following further exploration drilling may be
converted to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource.
(iii)
Many of the areas lying in the exclusive Mineral Resource are
currently being actively drilled and are the subject of economic
and technical studies. It can, however, not be assumed at this
stage that the company has intent to mine these areas.
Mineral Resources definitions
Mineral Resource

Mineral Resource classification is based on the '15% Rule'. A
Measured Mineral Resource should be expected to be within 15% of
the quarterly metal estimate at least 90% of the time, while for an
Indicated Mineral Resource estimate the annual metal estimate should
be within 15% of the metal estimated at least 90% of the time. For an
Inferred Mineral Resource the annual error may for 90% of the time, be
greater than 15%.
The process and methodology of classification are at the discretion of
the competent person and involve expressing the '15% Rule' as a
required level of information, in tangible terms, the spacing of the drill-
hole or tunnel spacing in a particular deposit. Techniques such as
conditional simulation or even an empirical reconciliation-based
approach are employed. However, all operations are responsible for
demonstrating, through reconciliation, that their classification system
conforms to the 15% rule set out above.
AngloGold Ashanti quotes its Mineral Resource as inclusive of the Ore
Reserve. However, in this document the exclusive Mineral Resource is
also quoted. The exclusive Mineral Resource is defined as the inclusive
Mineral Resource less the Ore Reserve before dilution and other
factors are applied. The exclusive Mineral Resource consists of the
following components:
Inferred Mineral Resource within the optimised shell;
Other Inferred Mineral Resource;
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource that lies between the life
of mine (LOM) pit shell/mine design and the Mineral Resource pit
shell. This material will become economic if the gold price increases;
and
Mineral Resource where the technical studies to engineer an Ore
Reserve have not yet been completed.
Ore Reserve
The SAMREC/JORC definition of an Ore Reserve is
as follows:
An Ore Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured
and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and
allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined.
Appropriate assessments and studies have been carried out, and
include consideration of and modification by realistically assumed
mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental,
social and governmental factors. These assessments demonstrate at
the time of reporting that extraction could reasonably be justified. Ore
Reserves are sub-divided, in order of increasing confidence, into
Probable Ore Reserves and Proved Ore Reserves.
In the underground operations, Ore Reserves are based on a full mine
design and in the case of open pits, on a pit optimisation followed by
a final pit design. Ore Reserves are reported according to tonnage,
mean grade(s), contained metal inclusive of mining dilution, mining ore
losses and mine call factors. These modifying factors are based on
measurements, rather than estimates. Tonnage and grade estimates
for surface stockpile materials that meet Ore Reserve criteria are
itemised separately.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Only those Ore Reserves included for treatment in the business unit
plan production schedule are considered in the Ore Reserve
statement. These plans sometimes include marginal or sub-grade ores
as well as Inferred Mineral Resources. These Inferred Mineral
Resources are not included in the Ore Reserve statement.
For new projects, an Ore Reserve is only reported if an auditable pre-
feasibility or feasibility study has been completed that demonstrates
the viability of the project and meets the company’s investment
requirements. There should also be intent on the part of the company
to proceed to feasibility and ultimately a mining phase.
Traditional sensitivity studies are not applied to the Ore Reserve.
Instead, the cash flow for each operation is tested using gold prices
near to the average gold price for the preceding three years. Gold
prices of US$577 and US$600/oz were used. In all cases, except for
Tau Lekoa, the operations remained cash flow positive albeit at a
reduced margin. In the case of Tau Lekoa, the Ore Reserve dropped
from 1.3 million ounces to 0.4 million ounces at US$577/oz.

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
Mineral Resources
The 2007 Mineral Resource increased by 34.1 million ounces before
the subtraction of depletion. After a depletion of 8.1 million ounces, the
net increase is 26.1 million ounces to give a total Mineral Resource of
207.6 million ounces. Mineral Resources were estimated at a gold
price of US$700 per ounce in contrast to the US$650 used in 2006.
The increased gold price resulted in 17.5 million ounces of added
Mineral Resource while successful exploration and revised modelling
resulted in a further increase of 14.2 million ounces. The remaining
change of 2.5 million ounces is the result of various other reasons.
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are reported in accordance with the minimum
standard described by the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results,
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code, 2004 Edition), and also
conform to the standards set out in the South African Code for the Reporting of
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the SAMREC 2000 Code). Mineral
Resources are inclusive of the Ore Reserve component unless otherwise stated.

Ore Reserves
The 2007 Ore Reserve increased by 13.0 million ounces before the
subtraction of depletion. After a depletion of 6.8 million ounces, the net
increase is 6.2 million ounces to give a total Ore Reserve of 73.1 million
ounces.
A gold price of US$600 was used for Ore Reserve estimates in
contrast to the US$550 used in 2006. The change in economic
assumptions made from 2006 to 2007 resulted in the Ore Reserve
increasing by 6.3 million ounces while exploration and modelling
resulted in an additional increase of 6.7 million ounces.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
South Africa operations: overview
The Vaal River operations consist of Great Noligwa, Kopanang, Tau
Lekoa and Moab Khotsong mines. The primary reefs in this region are
the Vaal Reef (VR) and the Ventersdorp Contact Reef (VCR) and the
secondary reef mined is the Crystalkop Reef (C Reef).
The West Wits operations are made up of Mponeng, Savuka and
TauTona and these mines are situated near the town of Carletonville.
The primary reefs mined are the Carbon Leader Reef (CLR) and VCR.
All seven operations are 100% owned by AngloGold Ashanti. In
addition, the Vaal River Surface and West Wits Surface operations
consist of the reprocessing of waste rock dumps and tailings dams
resulting from the mining of the primary and secondary reef horizons.
The South African operations are all located in the rocks of the famous
Witwatersrand Basin, which is regarded as the greatest gold-bearing
repository on Earth.
Geology of the Witwatersrand Basin
The Witwatersrand Supergroup (deposited in the area often described
as the Witwatersrand Basin) comprises a six-kilometre thick sequence
of predominantly argillaceous and arenaceous sediments that extend
laterally for some 300km north-east/south-west and 100km north-
west/south-east on the Kaapvaal Craton. The upper portion of the
sequence contains the laterally-extensive, gold-bearing quartz pebble
conglomerate horizons or reefs.
Further west, south and east the basin is overlain by up to four
kilometres of Archaean, Proterozoic and Mesozoic volcanic and
sedimentary rocks. The Witwatersrand Basin is late Archaean in age
and is considered to be around 2.7 billion to 2.8 billion years old.
The reefs, which are generally less than two metres thick, are widely
considered to represent laterally extensive braided fluvial deposits.
Separate fan systems were developed at different entry points and
these are preserved as distinct goldfields with local geological
variations. AngloGold Ashanti operates in two of these goldfields,
known as the Carletonville (West Wits) and Klerksdorp (Vaal River)
Goldfields.
There is still much debate about the origin of the gold mineralisation in
the Witwatersrand Basin. Gold was generally considered to have been
deposited syngenetically with the conglomerates, but increasingly an
epigenetic theory of origin is being supported. Nonetheless, the most
fundamental determinant of gold distribution in the basin remains the
sedimentary features, such as facies variations and channel directions.
Gold generally occurs in native form often associated with pyrite and
carbon, with quartz being the main gangue mineral.
West Wits (Mponeng, Savuka and TauTona operations)
Two reef horizons are exploited at the West Wits operations: the VCR,
located at the top of the Central Rand Group, and the CLR near the
base. The separation between the two reefs increases from east to
west, from 400m to 900m, due to the non-conformity of the VCR with

the underlying strata. TauTona and Savuka exploit both reefs, while
currently Mponeng only mines the VCR. The CLR Project has been
published as a reserve and Mponeng will eventually mine both reefs.
The structure is relatively simple, with rare instances of faults displaying
greater than 70m of displacement.
The CLR consists of one or more conglomerate units and varies from
several centimetres to more than three metres in thickness. Regionally,
the VCR dips at approximately 21°, but may vary between 5° and 50°,
accompanied by changes in thickness of the conglomerate units.
Where the conglomerate has the attitude of the regional dip, it tends
to be thick, well-developed and accompanied by higher gold
accumulations. Where the attitude departs significantly from the
regional dip, the reef is thin, and varies from several centimetres to
more than three metres in thickness.
Vaal River (Great Noligwa, Kopanang, Moab Khotsong
and Tau Lekoa operations and Vaal River Surface
Rock Dumps)
In order of importance, the reefs mined at the Vaal River operations are
the VR, the VCR and the C Reef:
the VR contains approximately 85% of the reserve tonnage with
mining grades of between 10g/t and 20g/t gold and comprises a
series of oligomictic conglomerates and quartzite packages
developed on successive non-conformities. Several distinct facies
have been identified, each with its own unique gold distribution and
grade characteristic;
the VCR has a lower gold grade than the VR, and contains
approximately 15% of the estimated Ore Reserves. The economic
portion is concentrated in the western part of the lease area and
can take the form of a massive conglomerate, a pyritic sand unit
with intermittent pebble layers, or a thin conglomerate horizon. The
reef is located at the contact between the overlying Kliprivierberg
Lavas of the Ventersdorp Super Group and the underlying
sediments of the Witwatersrand Super Group, which creates a
distinctive seismic reflector. The VCR is located up to one kilometre
above the VR; and
the C Reef is a thin, small-pebble conglomerate with a carbon-rich
basal contact, located approximately 270m above the VR. It has
less than 1% of the estimated Ore Reserves with gold grades
similar to those of the VR, but less continuity. The most significant
structural features are the north-east striking normal faults which dip
to the north-west and south-east, resulting in zones of fault loss.

Mineral Resource estimation
A multi-disciplinary approach is adapted to Mineral Resource
estimation whereby inputs are required from the geology, survey, mine
planning and evaluation departments. A computerised system called
the Mineral Resource Inventory System (MRIS) integrates all the input
information to produce the final Mineral Resource per operation. The
Mineral Resource estimates are computed from a composite grid of
value estimates, comprising various block sizes. The macro block
sizes vary from 210m x 210m to 420m x 420m and the micro blocks
comprise of 30m x 30m blocks.
Compound lognormal macro co-kriging estimation techniques are
used to produce estimates for the larger block sizes. This technique
uses the Bayesian approach whereby the assayed (observed) data in
the mined-out areas are used to infer the population characteristics of
the area ahead of current mining. The geological model forms the basis
for this estimation and all surface borehole information from the
peripheral areas of the mine lease play a crucial role in determining the
geological model boundaries. Simple kriging is used for the 30 metre
block sizes and these estimates are constrained by the kriging variance.
The Mineral Resources are initially reported as inclusive of Ore
Reserves as they form the basis for the Ore Reserve conversion
process. Mineral Resource cut-offs are computed by operation, for
each reef horizon. These cut-offs incorporate a profit margin that is
relevant to the business plan. Mineral Resource grade tonnage curves
are produced for the individual operations, which show the potential of
the orebody at different cut-offs. These curves are produced for
dimensions equivalent to a practical mining unit for underground
operations.
Exclusive Mineral Resource
The exclusive Mineral Resource is defined as the inclusive Mineral
Resource minus the in-situ Ore Reserve before stoping width, dilution
and mine call factors are applied. Scoping studies are conducted on
this exclusive Mineral Resource, where capital requirements and
current costs are used to test economic potential. If these studies
show no reasonable economic potential at the Mineral Resource gold
price then the material is excluded from the Mineral Resource. All
planned pillars (ahead of current mining) form part of the exclusive
Mineral Resource.

Ore Reserve estimation
All mine designs are undertaken using the Cadsmine
®
software
package and include the delineation of mining or stoping areas for
each mining level and section, usually leading from an extension to the
existing mining sequence, and the definition of the necessary
development layouts. The in-situ Mineral Resource is scheduled
monthly for the full LOM plan. The value estimates for these schedules
are derived directly from MRIS.
Modifying factors are applied to the in-situ Mineral Resource to arrive
at an Ore Reserve. These factors comprise a dilution factor to
accommodate the difference between the mill width and the stoping
width as well as the Mine Call Factor (MCF).

1. Where no dilution factor is indicated the dilution is inherent in the resource model estimate.
* Dilution: The difference between the tonnage broken in stopes and the tonnage milled from underground sources. For example, if 100 tonnes broken in
the stopes amounts to 132 tonnes milled, then the dilution is 32%.
** Mine Call Factor (MCF): The ratio expressed as a percentage, which the specific product accounted for in the recovery, plus residues, bears to the
corresponding product called for by the mine’s measuring methods.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
AngloGold Ashanti produces uranium oxide concentrate (U3O8) as a
by-product from its South African gold mining operations. AngloGold
Ashanti currently produces between 550 and 650 tonnes of
U3O8 annually, with the potential to increase this to 1,000 tonnes by the
year 2012.
Although mined as a by-product of gold for many years, U3O8 was not
considered a resource until the year 2005. Due to the rapid increase in
the U3O8 price over the last few years, renewed focus has been placed
on the U3O8 content within the Witwatersrand reefs with the result that
in 2005 uranium was reported for the first time as a fully SAMREC
compliant resource.
The AngloGold Ashanti mines in the Vaal River region that currently
produce uranium oxide as a by-product are Great Noligwa, Kopanang
and Moab Khotsong. The uranium oxide is extracted from the VR,
although Great Noligwa mine also produces some uranium oxide from
the C Reef. The mines in the West Wits region that have uranium
resources are Mponeng, Savuka and TauTona and in this mining
region the uranium is extracted from the CLR.
The surface tailings storage facilities that have been classified as
uranium resources are the Kopanang Pay dam and the tailings storage
facilities in the West Wits region.
Uraninite and brannerite are the most common uranium bearing
minerals, although uraniferous leucoxene and coffinite are also
present. Uraninite was the original primary uranium bearing mineral
and was possibly introduced as detrital material during the deposition
process of the Witwatersrand sediments.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Great Noligwa
Great Noligwa is located about 15km south-east of the town of
Orkney, in the southern part of the Klerksdorp Goldfield. The mine
exploits the VR at depths varying between 1,500m and 2,800m below
surface. Scattered mining methods are employed where access to the
reef is from the footwall haulage and return airway development, with
cross-cuts developed every 180m to the reef horizon. Raises are then
developed on-reef to the level above and the reef is stoped out on
strike. The Great Noligwa lease area is constrained to the north by
Harmony’s Orkney 2 Shaft, to the east by Buffelsfontein Gold Mine, to
the south by the Jersey and Die Hoek faults, (which displace the reef
down by approximately 1,000m and 900m respectively), and to the
west by Kopanang Mine.
Geology
The VR is the principal economic horizon at Great Noligwa Mine,
accounting for over 90% of the gold produced at the mine. The VR is
part of the Witwatersrand Supergroup and is stratigraphically located
near the middle of the Central Rand Group in the
Johannesburg Subgroup on an unconformity below the Krugersdorp
Formation. The VR unit can reach a maximum thickness of over two
metres and consists of a thin basal conglomerate (the C Facies) and a
thicker sequence of upper conglomerates (the A Facies), separated by
internal quartzite (the B Facies). Across most of the Great Noligwa
lease area, the A Facies is the principal economic horizon within the
VR, although sporadic remnants of C Facies may be preserved below
the A Facies.
The C Reef has been mined on a limited scale in the central part of
Great Noligwa mine, where a high-grade, north-south orientated
channel containing two economic horizons has been exposed. To the
east and west of this channel the C Reef is poorly developed with
relatively small areas of economic interest. High uranium values in the
C Reef are often associated with high gold values. To the north the
C Reef sub-crops against the Gold Estates Conglomerates, and in the
extreme south of the mine the C Reef has been eliminated by a deeply
eroded Kimberley Channel and the Jersey fault.

South Africa operations: Kopanang
Kopanang
Kopanang mine is located about 10km south-east of the town of
Orkney, in the southern part of the Klerksdorp Goldfield. The mine
exploits the VR at depths varying between 1,300m and 2,200m below
surface. The C Reef is a secondary reef that occupies a stratigraphic
horizon about 260m above the VR. Scattered mining methods are
employed.
Geology
The VR is the principal economic horizon on Kopanang, accounting for
over 95% of the gold mined. The VR is part of the Witwatersrand
Supergroup and is stratigraphically located near the middle of the
Central Rand Group in the Johannesburg Subgroup on an
unconformity below the Krugersdorp Formation. The VR package
can reach a maximum thickness of over two metres and consists of a
thin basal conglomerate (the C Facies) and a thicker sequence of
upper conglomerates (the A Facies), separated by internal quartzite
(the B Facies). Across most of the Kopanang lease area only the basal
C Facies is mined.
The C Reef has been mined on a limited scale in the central parts of
Kopanang, where the gold and uranium values are generally lower
than the VR. The C Reef sub-crops in the north against the Gold
Estates Conglomerates, and is eliminated in the south by younger,
deeply eroded Kimberley Channels. The C Reef also contains two
economic conglomerates, although the lowermost conglomerate is
only preserved as small remnants.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Moab Khotsong
Moab Khotsong, which is still in development, lies to the south of and
is contiguous with the lease area of Great Noligwa. The Mineral
Resource at Moab Khotsong is structurally complex and highly faulted,
with large fault-loss areas. Mining is based on a backfill system
combined with bracket pillars. The raise lines are spaced 200m apart
on the dip of the reef, with 25m-long panels. Backfill is carried to within
four metres of the advancing stope faces and 75% of the total area
extracted is likely to be backfilled.
Geology
The Mineral Resource lies between 2,100m and 3,700m below surface,
with only limited quantities of ore lying above 2,300m. The principal reef
is the VR, as a down-dip extension to the south and south-east of the
orebody mined at Kopanang and Great Noligwa mines. The reef is
represented by an oligomictic conglomerate and the gold
mineralisation is associated with carbon. The VR package can reach
a maximum thickness of over two metres and consists of a thin
basal conglomerate (the C Facies) and a thicker sequence of
upper conglomerates (the A Facies), separated by internal
quartzite (the B Facies). The C Reef is preserved in the northern part
of the mine where the reef has been intersected by a number of
boreholes. No development or stoping has taken place on the C Reef
at Moab Khotsong.

Project Zaaiplaats 2
Project Zaaiplaats 2 (PZ2) is situated at Moab Khotsong in the Vaal
River Region of AngloGold Ashanti’s South African operations. Moab
Khotsong is the newest mine in the region and the PZ2 project is
aimed at optimally extracting the deeper portion (lower mine) of the VR
at Moab Khotsong.
Investigations into extracting this block of ground have been underway
for several years but unfavourable market conditions have delayed the
initiation of mining in this deeper block of ground (up to 3,500m below
surface). The PZ2 project is planned to extend the life of Moab
Khotsong for another 25 years until the mid 2030’s. The project also
allows other opportunities (mining and metallurgical) to come to the
fore that would otherwise have been uneconomic.
The orebody is accessed through twin double-declines angled at 8º,
the upper and lower declines, from which five production levels will
originate. These will allow two attacking points into the orebody, as
well as provide sufficient ventilation capacity. One of the lower declines
will be a dedicated ore-handling system via a conveyor belt; each of
the decline sets will have a dedicated men and material decline using
chairlifts and a monorail; and the remaining upper decline will carry the
majority of the services into the orebody. Shaft bottom will be situated
at 4,027m below datum (3,509m below collar).
It is estimated that there are currently 3.5 million ounces of Ore
Reserves within the orebody of the lower mine area. Further
opportunities exist around the main block, but additional exploration
will be required before these reserves can be published.
Brownfields exploration
Brownfields exploration is currently focused on improving geological
confidence in:
the eastern, western and northern boundaries of the upper mine
block;
the internal structure of the upper mine block; and
the lower mine block (Project Zaaiplaats 2).
Surface borehole MGR7 was completed during the year and the
original cluster had a value of 715 cm.g/t over 46.4 cm whilst the long
deflection cluster had a value of 1,474 cm.g/t over 79.2 cm. A long
deflection was drilled from LIB13 and confirmed the location of both
the cut-off and MKF1 faults and also indicated the presence of a large
block of ground between 95 and 101 levels. LIB 9 commenced drilling
from 92 level to test the structure interpretation between surface
boreholes CY1 and MCY2 and is currently still in progress. The four
surface boreholes and one LIB hole (MCY4, MCY5, MZA9, MMB5 and
LIB9) are currently in progress and it is planned to commence with two
further LIB holes (LIB4 and LIB10) in the new year.

South Africa operations: Tau Lekoa
Tau Lekoa mine is located about 8km west of the town of Orkney, at
the western extreme of the Klerksdorp Goldfields. The mine exploits
the VCR at depths varying between 900m and 1,700m below
surface. The VCR is the only reef exploited at Tau Lekoa and dips
towards the west at an average angle of 30°. Tau Lekoa has a twin
shaft system and mines to a depth of 1,650m. Tau Lekoa uses
hydropower which has a centralised electro-hydraulic system as its
primary source of energy production. Hydropower has been
instrumental in improving labour productivity, which has played a vital
role in assisting the mine to achieve its business objectives.
Geology
The VCR is a gold bearing quartz pebble conglomerate (up to 5m
thick) capping the uppermost angular unconformity of the
Witwatersrand Supergroup. The topography of the VCR depositional
area is uneven, and consists of a series of slopes and horizontal
terraces at different elevations. The VCR is deposited over a number
of terraces that are separated by slope material. Typically the terrace
reef is a thicker, more robust conglomerate unit than the slope
material, where hangingwall-footwall conditions may occur. The
deepest terraces are the youngest, whereas the oldest terrace
occupies a topographical horizon 28m above the youngest terrace.
Generally the younger the terrace, the more mature the channel fill.
The main channel is the youngest, most mature VCR facies at Tau
Lekoa, and extends from the northeast into Tau Lekoa, before
turning sharply towards the west. The older middle and upper
terraces contain more immature conglomerates with more erratic
gold grades.

The Exclusive Mineral Resource is sensitive to the gold price and a large portion of this Mineral Resource is due to the difference in
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve gold prices. Approximately 20 to 25% of the exclusive Mineral Resource is expected to occur in safety
and remnant pillars ahead of current mining.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Mponeng lies on the West Wits Line, close to Carletonville in the
Gauteng Province and about 65km south-west of Johannesburg.
Mining at Mponeng is conducted at an average depth of 2,800m. The
mine operates two vertical hoisting shafts, a sub-shaft and two service
shafts. The Mponeng lease area is constrained to the north by TauTona
and Savuka, but is constrained only by the depth of the ore-body,
which is open-ended, towards the south.
Geology
The VCR is the only reef that is currently being mined at Mponeng. The
VCR comprises of a quartz pebble conglomerate (up to 3m thick)
capping the topmost angular unconformity of the Witwatersrand
Supergroup. The footwall stratigraphy partially controls the reef type.
Most of the VCR mined lies on footwall strata of the Kimberley
Formation, which is relatively argillaceous. More durable quartzites of
the Elsburg Formation lie to the west, while the eastern side of the
mine is dominated by the Booysens Shale.
Mponeng is also planning to mine the CLR. The CLR at Mponeng is
on average a 20cm thick, tabular, auriferous quartz pebble
conglomerate formed near the base of the Central Rand Group. The
CLR is deeper than the VCR and currently there is an exploration
programme drilling to improve resource confidence and confirm
geological structures that occur at the lower levels. Of the three
economic units that exist for the CLR, the Mponeng CLR target area
is dominated by Unit 3 with a smaller portion of Unit 2 towards the
east. Unit 2 is a complex channel deposit, and Unit 3 is the oldest of
the CLR channel deposits sitting at the base of the package.

Two economically viable reefs are mined in the West Wits area, the
shallower VCR, and the deeper CLR. Both have been extensively
mined at AngloGold Ashanti’s TauTona and Savuka Mines, whilst
Mponeng has only mined the VCR. Both reefs can be accessed down
to 120 level (3,645m below datum), but there is currently no
infrastructure in place that can service stoping operations below
120 level.
Mponeng is in a prime position to exploit the CLR, and had in fact
originally been designed with this in mind via its sub-shaft deepening
project which commenced in the mid-1990’s. Due to economic factors
at the time, this sub-shaft was stopped at 120 level in 2000 and is now
being used to service the VCR mining operations.
The high-grade CLR below 120 level has remained inaccessible and
this represents an enormous opportunity for Mponeng and for
AngloGold Ashanti. A project team has been set up to design a “new
mine” with the ability to access the CLR via tertiary shafts from
Mponeng, enabling the mine to extend its life until at least 2040, and
producing gold at its current levels.
The mine has been designed according to the Sequential Grid mining
method, a technique developed at Elandsrand and Mponeng in the
1990’s whereby stoping grids are pre-developed and reef extracted
between dip-stabilising pillars. This method has proved successful in
the management of seismicity, both from an overall reduction in
seismic energy perspective, as well as from an increased mining
flexibility view point. The shafts and infrastructure have been designed
to fit the existing shaft system at Mponeng, and have the ability to
sustain high levels of production.
The extension of Mponeng via the Carbon Leader Reef Project
provides a strong base on which several regional benefits can be
realised, as well as enabling other smaller projects to be brought in to
match the extended life of the asset and region.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
South Africa operations: Savuka
Savuka
The Savuka mine is located about 18km south of the town of
Carletonville, in the West Wits Goldfields. The mine exploits the CLR
at depths varying between 2,600m and 3,500m below surface. The
VCR, which on average is about 700m above the CLR is also
exploited at Savuka, but to a lesser extent than the CLR. A
combination of mining methods is used: longwall, conventional and
sequential grid mining.
Geology
The CLR is a thin, on average 20cm thick, tabular, auriferous quartz
pebble conglomerate formed near the base of the Central Rand
Group. The CLR has been divided into three stratigraphic units.
Economically the most important unit is Unit 1 which is present as a
sheet-like deposit over the whole mine. Unit 2 is a complex channel
deposit that is only present along the western most limit of the
current mining at Savuka. The reef may be over two metres thick
where Unit 2 is developed. Unit 3 is preserved below Unit 1 in the
southern parts of Savuka and is the oldest of the CLR conglomerates.
Production levels on the VCR at Savuka are not as high as on the CLR,
with about 15% to 20% of the tonnage coming from the VCR. The
VCR comprises of a quartz pebble conglomerate (up to 5m thick)
capping the topmost angular unconformity of the Witwatersrand
Supergroup. The topography of the VCR depositional area is uneven,
and consists of a series of slopes and horizontal terraces at different
elevations. It sub-outcrops against the base of the Ventersdorp Lavas
in a direction parallel to strike across the north-western part of the
lease area.

The exclusive Mineral Resource is sensitive to the gold price and a large portion of this Mineral Resource is due to the difference in Mineral Resource
and Ore Reserve gold prices. Approximately 40% of the exclusive Mineral Resource is expected to occur in safety and remnant pillars ahead of
current mining.

South Africa operations: TauTona
TauTona lies on the West Wits Line, close to Carletonville in Gauteng
and about 70km south-west of Johannesburg. Mining at TauTona
takes place at depths ranging from 1,800m to 3,500m, where the
world’s deepest stoping section is found. The mine has a main shaft
system as well as a secondary and a tertiary shaft. It is predominantly
a long-wall operation.
Geology
The CLR is a thin, on average 20cm thick, tabular, auriferous quartz
pebble conglomerate formed near the base of the Central Rand
Group. The CLR has been divided into three stratigraphic units.
Economically the most important unit is Unit 1, which is present as a
sheet-like deposit over the whole mine, although the reef development
and grades tend to drop off very rapidly where Unit 1 overlies Unit 2.
Unit 2 is a complex channel deposit that is only present along the
easternmost limit of the current mining at TauTona mine. The reef may
be over two metres thick where Unit 2 is developed. Unit 3 is
preserved below Unit 1 in the southern parts of TauTona and is the
oldest of the CLR conglomerates.
Production levels on the VCR at TauTona are currently limited,
amounting to less than 10% of total production volumes. The VCR
comprises of a quartz pebble conglomerate (up to 5m thick) capping
the topmost angular unconformity of the Witwatersrand Supergroup.
The topography of the VCR depositional area is uneven, and consists
of a series of slopes and horizontal terraces at different elevations.

The Mineral Resource estimates are computed using the relevant
computer modules of Datamine®software package. The geological
model is a critical input to the Mineral Resource estimation process. The
orebody boundaries for each geological entity (veins, stock work, wall
rock) are defined from the detailed logging of all geological bore holes
and after validation this information is used in the system to create a
three dimensional model. This model is subsequently populated with a
5 x 25 x 5m (X by Y by Z) block model. The block sizes used are chosen
to represent the dimensions in which the deposit is intended to be
mined. Volumetric measurements of the orebody are subsequently
computed in the system using the relevant block dimensions.
Ordinary kriging is used to perform the grade interpolation. Field tests
are conducted to determine appropriate in-situ densities. The mining
of a specific area of the orebody is surveyed and an accurate
measurement of the corresponding mass associated with the mining
area is recorded. The in-situ density is then computed by dividing the
mass by the surveyed volume. Using the volume, grade and density
information, the Mineral Resource estimates are computed for the
individual orebodies.
Ore Reserve estimation
The appropriate Mineral Resource models are used as the basis for
Ore Reserves. All relevant modifying factors such as mining dilution
and costs are used in the Ore Reserve conversion process. This is
based on the original block grades and tonnage and includes waste
material (both internal and external). Appropriate Ore Reserve cut-off
grades are applied and all blocks above this cut-off are reported. For
the reserve optimisation, Whittle®software was used and Datamine®
software was utilised to design the pits.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Argentina operations: Cerro Vanguardia
Cerro Vanguardia
The Cerro Vanguardia property is located 160km north-west of Puerto
San Julian. The property is situated within the southern Deseado Masive.
Geology
The oldest rocks in this part of Patagonia are of Precambrian-
Cambrian age. These are overlain by Permian and Triassic continental
clastic rocks which have been faulted into a series of horsts and
grabens, and are associated with both limited basaltic sills and dykes
and with calc-alkaline granite and granodiorite intrusions. Thick
andesite flows of Lower Jurassic age occur above these sedimentary
units. A large volume of rhyolitic ignimbrites was emplaced during the
Middle and Upper Jurassic age over an area of approximately
100,000km
2
. These volcanic rocks include the Chon Aike formation
ignimbrite units that host the gold-bearing veins at Cerro Vanguardia.
Post-mineral units include Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks of both
marine and continental origin, the Quaternary La Avenida formation,
the Patagonia gravel and the overlying La Angelita basalt flows. These
flows do not cover the area of the Cerro Vanguardia veins.
Gold and silver mineralisation at Cerro Vanguardia occurs within a
vertical range of about 150m to 200m, in a series of narrow, banded
quartz veins that occupy structures within the Chon Aike ignimbrites.
These veins form a typical structural pattern related to major north-
south (Concepcion) and east-west (Vanguardia) shears. Two sets of
veins have formed in response to this shearing one set strikes about
N40W and generally dips 65° to 90° to the east while the other set
strikes about N75W and the veins dip 60° to 80° to the south. They
are typical of epithermal, low-temperature, adularia-sericite character
and consist primarily of quartz in several forms as massive quartz,
banded chalcedonic quartz and quartz-cemented breccias. Dark
bands in the quartz are due to finely disseminated pyrite, now
oxidised to limonite. The veins show sharp contacts with the
surrounding ignimbrite, which hosts narrow stockwork zones that are
weakly mineralised, and appear to have been cut by a sequence of
north-east trending faults that have southerly movement with no
appreciable lateral displacement.

Ore Reserve estimation
The Ore Reserve is estimated by Lerch-Grossman pit optimisation
using the relevant Mineral Resource models and updated geotechnical
and metallurgical parameters and appropriate operating costs. The
recoverable gold Mineral Resource model has been estimated either
by a geostatistical technique called multiple indicator kriging or uniform
conditioning (non-linear geostatistical methods) and reflects the
selectivity or selective mining unit (SMU) of the mining equipment that
is intended to be used to recover the Mineral Resource within the Ore
Reserve pit design.
Modifying factors
The Boddington cut-off grade is formulated on a net revenue basis (Net
Smelter Return (NSR)) taking into account gold and copper grade/metal
price/recovery. The 0.32g/t COG approximates a life of mine cut-off
grade. This represents diorite material and using unit gold/copper prices
of A$750/oz and A$2.00/lb respectively. This NSR with gold leach and
gravity contributions cut-off grade is A$8.28/t and includes stockpile
rehandle mining cost of A$0.91/t thereby allowing for an elevated cut-
off grade strategy over the life of mine and inclusive of an end of mine
life rehandle cost.

Australia operations: Boddington
Boddington
The operation is situated approximately 120km south-east of Perth in
Western Australia.
Geology
Boddington is located in the Archaean Saddleback greenstone belt in
the south-west of Western Australia. The main zone of gold
mineralisation occurs reasonably continuously over a strike length of
over 5km and a width of about 1km. The previous oxide operation,
which closed in 2001, produced approximately 6.1 million ounces
over a mine life of 15 years from a lateritic deposit developed over a
large basement Mineral Resource. This basement Mineral Resource,
beneath the oxide pits, is hosted predominantly by andesitic
volcanics and diorites, and contains both gold and copper
mineralisation. Construction of the 35.2 Mtpa basement treatment
plant is well advanced, with production anticipated to commence late
2008-early 2009.
Mineral Resource estimation
The Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve of the Boddington expansion
project have been updated as part of the annual evaluation process by
BGMMCo personnel. The geostatistical method of Uniform
Conditioning Is used to estimate the Mineral Resource All available
geological drill-hole information is validated for use in the models and
the local geology of the ore body is used to classify the drill-hole
information into appropriate geostatistical domains. Detailed statistical
analyses are conducted on each of these domains and this allows for
the identification of high grade outliers. If these values are anomalous
to the general population characteristics then they are cut back to the
appropriate upper limit of the population.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Australia operations: Sunrise Dam
Sunrise Dam lies some 220km north-northeast of Kalgoorlie and 55km
south of Laverton in Western Australia. The mine is 100% owned by
AngloGold Ashanti. The mine comprises a large open-pit operation
and an underground project. Mining is carried out by contractors and
ore is treated in a conventional gravity and leach process plant.
Geology
At Sunrise Dam gold mineralisation is structurally controlled and vein
hosted. The style of mineralisation can be differentiated depending on
the structure or environment in which it is hosted. There are three
dominant domains recognised:
(i)
Shear-related and high strain – e.g. Sunrise Shear Zone,
(ii)
Stock work development in planar faults with brittle
characteristics (these occur in all rock types and are commonly
concentrated at lithofacies contacts within the volcanic
stratigraphy or the porphyry margin and within hinge domains
within the magnetite shales) – e.g. Western Shear Zone, Watu,
Cosmo, Summercloud; and
(iii)
Placer-style mineralisation hosted within the fluvial sediments.
The vein and shear styles of gold mineralisation are introduced
primarily during the third and fourth deformation stages and variations
in structural style, ore and gangue mineralogy and alteration intensity
are observed locally. Secondary (supergene) gold mineralisation is also
an important part of the Cleo-Sunrise ore system and is highlighted by
extremely high gold grades developed near the base of tertiary
paleochannels and horizontal blankets of mineralisation related to iron
redox fronts and associated water tables.

Mineral Resource estimation
open-pit estimates are generated using a geostatistical method called
multiple indicator kriging. All available geological drill-hole information is
validated for use in the models and the local geology of the ore body is
used to classify the drill-hole information into appropriate geostatistical
domains. Detailed statistical analyses are conducted on each of these
domains and this allows for the identification of high grade outliers. If
these values are anomalous to the general population characteristics
then they are cut back to the appropriate upper limit of the population.
Estimation for the underground Mineral Resources uses the geological
model boundaries to subdivide all drill-hole data into appropriate
domains. Statistical analyses are performed on these domains and in a
similar manner to that of open-pit estimation, high grade outliers are
identified and appropriately cut back to the upper limit of the population.
A geostatistical method called ordinary kriging is used to produce
estimates of a pre-determined block size. These block sizes are 10m x
10m and 20m x 20m. The geostatistical technique of Conditional
Simulation has been used to estimate the Cosmo ore zone.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Tropicana
The Tropicana gold deposit is located approximately 350km north-
east of Kalgoorlie within the Great Victoria Desert, Western Australia.
Tropicana is the first deposit discovered in this remote greenfields
exploration area.
Geology
The Tropicana deposit comprises two known mineralised zones, the
Tropicana zone to the north and Havana zone to the south. Together
the known mineralised zones define a system that extends over a 4km
strike length. The lenses have been tested to a vertical depth of 350m
to 400m, and are open down dip. The Tropicana and Havana zones
are grossly “stratiform” within the preferred gneissic host sequence.
Havana zone consists of multiple stacked lenses, whereas Tropicana
comprises one main mineralised lens.
Mineral Resource estimation
The geostatistical method of Uniform Conditioning Is used to estimate
the Mineral Resource. All available geological drill-hole information is
validated for use in the models and the local geology of the ore body
is used to classify the drill-hole information into appropriate
geostatistical domains. Detailed statistical analyses are conducted on
each of these domains and this allows for the identification of high
grade outliers. If these values are anomalous to the general population
characteristics then they are cut back to the appropriate upper limit of
the population.

2. A range of plant recoveries indicates variable ore types
* Dilution: The difference between the tonnage broken in stopes and the tonnage milled from underground sources. For example, if 100 tonnes broken in the stopes
amounts to 132 tonnes milled, then the dilution is 32%.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Brazil operations: Brasil Mineração
Brasil Mineração has mining rights over 30,698ha in the state of
Minas Gerais in south-eastern Brazil. The Brasil Mineração complex
is located in the municipalities of Nova Lima, Sabará and Santa
Bárbara, south and east of the city of Belo Horizonte and within the
mining district referred to as the Iron Quadrilateral (Quadrilátero
Ferrífero). This area hosts numerous historic and current gold mining
operations, as well as a number of open-pit limestone and iron ore
operations. Currently AngloGold Ashanti mines gold-bearing ore at
the Cuiabá underground mine and from the Córrego do Sítio heap-
leach mine.
Geology
Cuiabá mine, located in the municipality of Sabará, has gold
mineralisation associated with sulphides and quartz veins in Banded Iron
Formation (BIF) and volcanic sequences. Where BIF is mineralised, the
ore appears strongly stratiform due to the selective sulphidation of the
iron-rich layers. Steeply plunging shear zones tend to control the ore
shoots, which commonly plunge parallel to intersections between the
shears and other structures. The controlling mineralisation structures
are the apparent intersection of thrust faults with tight isoclinal folds in
a ductile environment. The host rocks at Brasil Mineração are BIF, and
mafic volcanics (principally basaltic). Mineralisation is due to the
interaction of low salinity carbon dioxide rich fluids with the high-iron
BIF, basalts and carbonaceous graphitic schists. Sulphide
mineralisation consists of pyrite and pyrrhotite with subordinate
arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite; the latter tends to occur as a late-stage
fracture fill and is not associated with gold mineralisation. Wallrock
alteration is typically carbonate, potassic and silicic. The Lamego
deposit is close to Cuiabá and the style of mineralisation is similar.
Some 30km to the south-east, the mineralised orebodies at Córrego do
Sítio are narrow NE-SW elongated lenses dipping at 20º to 30º and with
a pitch angle to the northeast. In general, the mineralised orebodies
comprise sericitic zones and quartz veinlets. The gold occurs as
inclusions (microscopic or sub-microscopic) in millimetre-size acicular
crystals of arsenopyrite, and also as intergrowths on the margins of the
sulphide. Other typical minerals in the orebodies are pyrrotite, pyrite and
chalcopyrite.

Mineral Resource estimation
Three dimensional models of the BIF and sulphide orebodies are
created from the drill-hole data. Prototype block models of 10m x 10m
x 10m are used to quantify the volume of the orebody and ordinary
kriging is used as the geostatistical technique to interpolate grade
estimates for all blocks. Other geostatistical techniques such as
uniform conditioning and indicator kriging are also used to quantify the
proportion of economic ore. This is reported according to the
dimensions of the smallest mining unit.

Ore Reserve estimation
Pit optimisation is done using Whittle® pit shells corresponding to the
Ore Reserve gold price and operational costs. For the underground
sulphide orebody (Cuiabá mine and Córrego do Sítio Sulphides) all
mining parameters such as mining method, minimum mining width,
dilution, MCF and the appropriate gold price are considered in
determining the Ore Reserves. The Ore Reserves are scheduled and
designed using Mine2-4D® computer software.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Brazil operations: Serra Grande
Serra Grande
The Serra Grande joint venture (50% attributable to AngloGold
Ashanti) is co-owned with Kinross Gold Corporation. The operation
comprises two underground mines, Mina III and Mina Nova, and a new
open pit. The processing circuit is equipped with grinding, leaching,
filtration, precipitation and smelting facilities.
Serra Grande controls, or has an interest in, approximately 21,068ha in
and around the Crixás mining district in the north-western areas of the
Goiás State in central Brazil. Serra Grande is located 5km from the city
of Crixás.
Geology
The gold deposits are hosted in a sequence of schists, volcanics and
carbonates occurring in a typical greenstone belt structural setting.
The host rocks are of the Pilar de Goiás Group of the Upper Archaean.
Gold mineralisation is associated with massive sulphides and vein
quartz material associated with graphitic, sericitic schists and
dolomites. The ore shoots plunge downwards to the north. The
deposits occur in the Rio Vermelho and Ribeirão das Antes formations
of the Archaean Pilar de Goiás Group, which together account for a
large proportion of the Crixás Greenstone Belt in central Brazil. The
stratigraphy of the belt is dominated by basics and ultra-basics in the
lower sequences with volcano sedimentary units forming the upper
successions.
The gold deposits are hosted in a sequence of schists, volcanics and
carbonates occurring in a typical greenstone belt structural setting. The
host rocks are of the Pilar de Goiás Group of the Upper Archaean. Gold
mineralisation is associated with massive sulphides and vein quartz
material occurs with graphitic and sericitic schists and dolomites. The ore
shoots plunge to the north-west with dips of between 6° and 35°.
The greenstone belt lithologies are surrounded by Archaean tonalitic
gneiss and granodiorite. The metamorphosed sediments are primarily
composed of quartz, chlorite, sericite, graphitic and garnetiferous
schists. The carbonates have been metamorphosed to ferroan
dolomite marble with development of siderite and ankerite veining in
the surrounding wallrock, usually associated with quartz veining. The
background image
69
basalts are relatively unaltered but do show pronounced stretching
with elongation of pillow structures evident. The ultra-basics form the
western edge of the belt and the basic volcanics and sediments form
the core of the unit. The northern edge of the belt is in contact with a
series of laminated quartzites and quartz sericite schists of the Lower
Proterozoic Araxa Group and a narrow band of graphitic schists and
intermediate to ultra-basic volcanics.
The Crixás greenstone belt comprises a series of Archaean to
Palaeoproterozoic metavulcanics, metasediments and basement
granitoids stacked within a series of north to north-east transported
thrust sheet. Thrusting (D1) was accompanied by significant F1
folding/foliation development and progressive alteration in a brittle-
ductile regime. D1 thrusting developed with irregular thrust ramp
geometry, in part controlled by concealed early basin faults. The main
Crixás orebodies are adjacent to a major north-northwest basement
fault, and an inferred major east-west to south-east flexure in the original
volcano-sedimentary basin. Early D1 alteration fluids were focused from
south to north, adjacent to the north-northwest structural corridor, and
up the main fault ramp/corner, to become dispersed to the east and
north in of foreland thrust fault zones.
Fluid alteration also diminished to the west away from the main fault
flexure. A series of concealed east-west to north-west-south-east
basement block faults may have provided secondary fluid migration, and
development of early anti-formal warps in the thrust sheets; these
structures probably define the quasi-regular spacing of significant
mineralisation within the belt. The D1 thrust stack was gently folded by
non-cylindrical folds. Gold mineralising fluids probably migrated during
this event, with similar south-southwest to north-northeast migration,
and focusing by bedding slip during folding. Gold mineralisation became
minor and dispersed to the north and east along the frontal thrust flat
zone. Concentrations of gold along the base of quartz vein may be due
to the damming of fluids migrating upward along layering.west with dips
of between 6° and 35°. The stratigraphy is overturned and thrust
towards the east.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Colombia exploration: Gramalote
Since the commencement of exploration, AngloGold Ashanti has
staked a total of 10.8 million hectares of exploration claims
countrywide. Of these, 6.5 million hectares have been reviewed and
either relinquished or farmed-out, leaving 4.3 million hectares in
AngloGold Ashanti’s current tenement portfolio. Further rationalisation
of this vast property holding (through both in-house exploration and
farm-outs) continued as a priority in 2007.
The Gramalote project is located 120 road kilometres west-northwest
of Medellin, the capital of the Antioquia department. Site access is by
paved road from Medellin (2.5 hours) and from Bogota (7 hours).
The Gramalote project presently is a joint venture with Vancouver-
based B2Gold Corp. In 2005, Sociedad Kedahda (AngloGold
Ashanti’s subsidiary in Colombia) entered into a joint venture
agreement with the Colombian-based Grupo Nus. As part of the
Joint Venture Agreement, Sociedad Kedahda could earn a 75%
interest in the Gramalote property by completing cash payments,
complying with specific work expenditures and presenting a
feasibility study on or before July 2010. In August 2007, Vancouver-
based B2Gold Corp. purchased the rights to the Grupo Nus
option agreement, including the remaining 25% interest in the
Gramalote property from the Grupo Nus. In November 2007,
AngloGold Ashanti in turn decided to reduce its interest in the
Gramalote property to 49% and offered B2Gold the opportunity to
become the project operator with overall responsibility for taking the
project through feasibility.
Geology
The Gramalote area is underlain by medium to coarse-grained biotite
+\- hornblende tonalite and granodiorite of the Paleocene to
Cretaceous Antioquian batholith. Tonalite from the Gramalote
exploration audit gave zircon ages of 59+1.2ma. Magmatism,
structural events and mineralisation are intimately related.
The location of drill targets is controlled by N70-75E striking steeply SE
dipping transfer zones developed between two sub-regional faults (Rio
Nus, Quebrada Socorro).
On the local prospect scale extensional domains with quartz veinlets
and compressional domains with shear zones have formed.
There are two principal mineralised sectors at Gramalote are Las
Torres and Cerro Gramalote. Both occur in extensional domains
striking N20-30W and dipping 75-80°SW. Gold grades >1g/t often
correlate with increased fracturing (>9 fractures/veinlets per metre) and
the dominant alteration is potassic K-feldspar. Quartz-sericite
overprints and quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite-molybdenite+gold veinlets
follow subsidiary structures.
Shear zone domains strike N50-60E and dip 75-80SE. Individual
shears zones are often up to 40m apart and N-S veins follow extension
fractures between them. These veins have been targets for small scale
mining at Los Mangos. Alteration in shear zone domains is dominantly
(quartz-) sericite with remnant potassic K-feldspar alteration. Veinlets
are quartz-molybdenite-chalcopyrite-pyrite+sphalerite+gold.

located 120 road kilometres west-northwest of
Medellin, the capital of the Antioquia department.

In summary, three styles of alteration-mineralisation are distinguished
at Gramalote:
Potassic K-feldspar alteration with associated veinlets and spo-
radically veins;
(Overprinting) quartz-sericite alteration with veins and syn-defor-
mation veinlets; and
Sericite/chlorite-quartz-calcite/illite-smectite alteration on re-
activated fault planes.
Gold grades are attractive, especially in areas characterised by
potassic K-feldspar dominated alteration and quartz-pyrite-
chalcopyrite veinlets. Las Torres and Cerro Gramalote have been
drilled on 100m lines. El Barzal has been partially drill tested and the
La Concha prospect remains undrilled.
Mineral Resource estimation
At Gramalote, some 12,551m of diamond drilling (43 holes) has been
used to support the calculation of a compliant Inferred Mineral
Resource.
The Inferred Mineral Resource estimate tabulated below was
generated using the Indicator Kriging method. All available geological
drill-hole, surface and underground mapping information has been
validated for use in the modelling process.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
The concession area encompasses the entire Kilo greenstone belt,
which has a rich history of gold occurrences. Concession 40 is held in
a Joint Venture between AngloGold Ashanti Kilo (AGAK) and OKIMO,
a governmental body which currently holds a 13.8% non-contributory
share. AGAK is 100% owned by AngloGold Ashanti Ltd.
Most of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration activities in Concession 40
have focused on the delineation of resources in the vicinity of the
redundant Adidi-Kanga, Nzebi, and Senzere gold mines. These old
mines are collectively centred around the village of Mongbwalu, some
48km north-west of the regional town of Bunia and 320km south-east
of Kampala in neighbouring Uganda.
The improved security situation throughout the remainder of
Concession 40 has allowed for the commencement of a regional
exploration program, including the flying of airborne geophysics over
key parts of the concession.
Geology
The Mongbwalu Project is located within the Kilo Archaean granite-
greenstone belt that extends approximately 850km west-northwest of
Lake Albert. Granitoids are the predominant rock type and they
contain rafts of Kibalian amphibolites and basic talc carbonate schists
that have been intruded by diorite-tonalite-granodiorite assemblages.
The mineralisation is hosted in multiple, shallow dipping mylonite
bodies that average 30m in width. Within the mylonite zones, the gold
is primarily concentrated in boudinaged quartz veins that are
orientated sub-parallel to the mylonite zones and their immediate wall-
rock. The mineral assemblage is simple and contains free gold and
minor (< 2%) sulphides.
The easterly dipping mylonite zones are continuous throughout the
area drilled to date with the most prospective zone located close to the
old Adidi Mine. Two north-south trending faults have offset the
mineralisation and have kept the potential resource area within 150m
to 200m of the surface. Potential remains at depth, both down plunge
on the known mylonite horizons and within subsidiary structures still to
be targeted by drilling.

AngloGold Ashanti commenced drill testing of the resource potential
of the Mongbwalu area in mid-2005 and by the end of 2006, the
broader Mongbwalu area (Nzebi-Adidi-Kanga-Pluto sectors) had
been diamond drilled on a 200m x 200m grid. The program covered
an area 2.2km by 2.7km centred over the southern part of the
Adidi mine.
From this drilling, distinct zones with potentially economic grades of
gold in quartz-veins were delineated. Infill RC and diamond drilling on
50m x 50m centres was undertaken during 2007 to cover these areas
of maximum potential to host near surface open-pit extractable or
shallow underground extractable mineralisation with the view to
defining an initial inferred resource by the end of 2007. Data obtained
from a total of 87,933m of drilling has been used for resource
modelling and estimation.
The principle Mongbwalu Mylonite horizons and other important
geological units defined by drill-hole logging and interpretation were
modelled using conventional 3D wireframing techniques and Datamine
Software®. To define the Inferred Mineral Resource, resource
envelopes were created using manual wireframing in Datamine® at
cut-off grades of 0.5g/t Au and 3.0 g/t Au. Following geostatistical
evaluation of the drill-hole assay database, gold grades were
interpolated into a 3D block-model incorporating the principle
geological units and resource envelopes using Ordinary Kriging to
define the Inferred Mineral Resource, at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t.
Initial scoping level mining metallurgical, geotechnical,
hydrogeological, environmental, socio-political and infrastructural
engineering studies were undertaken in parallel with the drilling to
support the resource estimate in anticipation of the project moving
towards pre-feasibility during 2008.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Ghana operations: Iduapriem
Iduapriem
Iduapriem mine is situated in the western region of Ghana, some 70km
north of the coastal city of Takoradi, and 10km south-west of Tarkwa.
Iduapriem is an open-pit mine. Its processing facilities include a
carbon-in-pulp (CIP) plant.
Geology
The Iduapriem and Teberebie gold mines are located along the
southern end of the Tarkwa basin. The mineralisation is contained in
the Proterozoic Banket Series, conglomerate within the Tarkwaian
System. The outcropping Banket Series in the mine area form
prominent arcuate ridges extending southwards from Tarkwa,
westwards through Iduapriem and northwards towards Teberebie. The
gold is fine-grained, particulate and free milling. Mineralogical studies
indicate that the grain size of native gold particles ranges between
2 microns and 500 microns (0.002 to 0.5mm) and averages 130
microns (0.13mm). Sulphide minerals are present only at trace levels
and are not associated with the gold.
Mineral Resource estimation
All geological interpretations are used to produce a three
dimensional wire frame model of the orebody using Datamine®
software. A prototype block model comprising of 25m x 5m x 6m
blocks is used within the geological model outlines and where
appropriate, selective sub-celling is used for definition on the
geological and mineralisation boundaries. The geostatistical
techniques used for grade interpolation into the blocks include
Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK), ordinary kriging and inverse distance
squared (ID2) methods.

Ghana operations: Obuasi
Obuasi
The Obuasi mine is located in the Ashanti region of Ghana, some
80km from Kumasi. Historically, Obuasi has been an underground
mine, although there was large-scale open-pit mining between 1990
and 2000. The mine has two active treatment plants: the sulphide
treatment plant to process underground ore and the tailings treatment
plant to handle tailings reclamation operations.
Geology
The gold deposits at Obuasi are part of a prominent gold belt of
Proterozoic (Birimian) volcano-sedimentary and igneous formations.
These deposits extend for a distance of approximately 300km, in a
north-east/south-west trend, in south-western Ghana. Obuasi
mineralisation is shear-zone-related and there are three main structural
trends hosting gold mineralisation: the Obuasi trend, the Gyabunsu
trend and the Binsere trend.
Two main ore types are mined:
quartz veins which consist mainly of quartz with free gold in
association with lesser amounts of various metal sulphides
containing iron, zinc, lead and copper. The gold particles are
generally fine-grained and are occasionally visible to the naked eye.
This ore type is generally non-refractory; and
sulphide ore which is characterised by the inclusion of gold in the
crystal structure of a sulphide material. The gold in these ores is
fine-grained and often locked in arsenopyrite. Higher gold grades
tend to be associated with finer grained arsenopyrite crystals. Other
prominent minerals include quartz, chlorite and sericite. Sulphide
ore is generally refractory.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Mineral Resource estimates are derived from interpretations of
information about the location, shape, continuity and grade of the
individual ore bodies. The open-pit Mineral Resource was estimated
using three dimensional computer block models constructed using
the Datamine
®
software. Geological interpretation was based on
trench and reverse circulation and or diamond drilling data. A
prototype block model of 30m x 30m x 10m was used within the
Geological Model envelope. Ordinary kriging was used as the primary
estimation methodology.
97% of the underground Mineral Resource was estimated using block
models within the delineated ore zones. A prototype block model of
20m x 5m x 15m representing the Minimum Mining Unit was used and
estimates are based on ordinary kriging. The remaining 3% of the
resource are global estimates.
Surface stockpiles volumes are based on a surveyed figures and
grades based on historical sampling. Tailings are part of the Mineral
Resource with tons and grades based on a combinations of 3D
models of some dams and historical metallurgical discharge data.

Ore Reserve estimation
The three dimensional Mineral Resource models are used as the basis
for the Ore Reserves. An ore envelope is developed using the Mineral
Resource block model, geological information and the relevant cut-off
grade, which is then used for mine design. Datamine® software called
Mineral Resource Optimizer is used to generate the ore envelope. An
appropriate mining layout is designed that incorporates mining
extraction losses, dilution factors and MCF.

Resource definition drilling consists of Air Core (AC), Reverse
Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drilling (DD) boreholes. All available
geological drill-hole information is validated for usage in the models
and the local geology of the orebody is used to classify the drill-hole
information into appropriate geostatistical domains. Detailed statistical
analyses are conducted on each of these domains and this allows for
the identification of high grade outliers. If these values are anomalous
to the general population characteristics then they are cut back to the
appropriate upper limit of the population.
The Mineral Resources are estimated using three dimensional
computer block models constructed in Datamine® software.
Geological interpretation is based on Geological borehole data. A
prototype block model ranging from 10m x 10m x 2.5m to 50m x 25m
x 6m block sizes depending on the shape of the orebody is used
within the Geological model outlines. Ordinary and indicator kriging are
used to estimate gold grades and a limiting pit shell at $650/oz is used
to quantify the total Mineral Resources.

Ore Reserve estimation
The Mineral Resource models for each pit are combined with
waste blocks and depleted to the mining surfaces. Costs are
assigned on a pit by pit basis reflecting the current existing cost
structure of the operation. The relevant dilution and ore loss
factors are applied and the optimisation is done in Earthworks®
NPV Scheduler software. The relevant metallurgical recoveries,
geotechnical parameters, cut-off grades and economics are
applied to generate the final Ore Reserve.

Guinea operations: Siguiri
Siguiri
Société Ashanti Goldfields (SAG) de Guinée
Siguiri gold mine is situated in the Siguiri district in the north-east of the
Republic of Guinea, West Africa, about 850km from the capital city of
Conakry. The SAG concession consists of four blocks totalling
1,494.58km
2
. All ore and waste is mined by a mining contractor in a
conventional open-pit mining operation. Processing is done via a
CIP plant.
Geology
This concession is dominated by Proterozoic Birimian rocks which
consist of turbidite facies sedimentary sequences. There are two main
types of gold deposits that occur in the Siguiri basin: laterite
mineralisation (CAP) and in situ quartz-vein-related mineralisation. The
laterite mineralisation occurs as aprons of colluvial or as palaeo-channels
of alluvial lateritic gravel adjacent to and immediately above the in situ
vein-related mineralisation. The vein-related mineralisation is hosted in
meta-sediments with the better mineralisation associated with vein
stockworks, that occur preferentially in the coarser, brittle siltstones and
sandstones. The mineralised rocks have been deeply weathered to
below 100m in places to form saprolite (SAP) mineralisation. The
practice at Siguiri has been to blend the CAP and SAP ore types and to
process these using the heap-leach method. With the percentage of
available CAP ore decreasing, however, a CIP plant was brought on
stream during 2005 to treat predominantly SAP ore.

Mineral Resource estimation
The Mineral Resource is taken as the material that falls within the
$700/oz economic shell optimised for each individual deposit except
for Morila and Alamoutala (Yatela). The pits at these operations are
reaching the end of their lives and the Mineral Resource is quoted
within the life of mine design. A three dimensional surface is generated
to create the outline of the geological model. This model is then used
as a prototype model to estimate grades. Block sizes between 25m x
25m x 10m and 30m x 30m x 10m (X Y Z) and where appropriate
selective sub-celling is used for definition on the geological and
mineralisation boundaries. The dimensions of these sub cells are
12.5m x 12.5m x 3.33m and 10m x 10m x 5m. All the deposits have
kriged block models and where appropriate a geostatistical
technique called Uniform Conditioning is used to estimate the
proportion of economic ore that occur above the Mineral Resource
cut-off and this is reported according to the dimensions of the
practical mining unit.

Ore Reserve estimation
The Mineral Resource models are used as the basis for the Ore
Reserves. Pit optimisation is done using Whittle® software. The typical
Whittle approach for a mill-constrained operation is followed.
Optimisations are run on Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources
and Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. All
appropriate costs, metallurgical recovery factors and geotechnical
parameters are applied to generate the final Ore Reserves.

Mali operations: Morila
This mine is situated some 280km by road southeast of Bamako, the
capital city of Mali, which is 600km south-east of Sadiola mine. Mining
is from a single open-pit operation, utilising conventional truck and
shovel methods.
Geology
The Morila orebody is located predominantly in metasediments within
a broad NNW trending corridor of shearing. This shear zone has both
near vertical and flat lying components. It is interpreted as being a
second order shear off the main Banafin shear approximately 25km to
the east. The Doubalakoro granite pluton bounds the sediments to the
west and the Massigui granite to the east. The deposit occurs within a
sequence of metamorphosed Birimian meta-sediments (amphibolite
facies). Gold mineralisation is associated with silica feldspar alteration
and the sulphide minerals arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, and pyrite (with
minor chalocopyrite).

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Mali operations: Sadiola
Sadiola
Sadiola is situated in the north-west of Mali, 77km to the south of the
regional capital of Kayes. Mining takes place in an open pit at Sadiola.
Ore is treated in a 435,000-tonne-per-month gold plant.
Geology
The Sadiola deposit is located within the Malian portion of the
Keniéba- Kedougou window, a major early proterozoic – Birimian
outlier along the NE margin of the Kenema – Man shield. The deposit
is confined in the north of the window and the mineralised zone occurs
along the Sadiola Fracture Zone (SFZ), over a drilled strike length of
approximately 2,500m and remains open to the north and south. The
observed alteration assemblages in the primary mineralisation point to
a mesothermal origin for the gold deposit at Sadiola. The specific
rocks that host the mineralisation are marbles and greywackes which
have been intensely weathered to a maximum depth of 200m. A series
of north-south trending faults occur that feed the Sadiola mineralisation.
As a result of an east-west regional compression event, deformation
occurs along a north-south striking marble-greywacke contact,
increasing the porosity of this zone. North-east striking structures, which
intersect the north-south contact, have introduced mineralisation, mainly
within the marble where the porosity was greatest.
The Sadiola Hill deposit generally consists of two zones, an upper
oxidised cap and an underlying sulphide zone. From 1996 until 2002,
shallow saprolite oxide ore was the primary ore source. Since 2002,
the deeper saprolitic sulphide ore has been mined, progressively
replacing the depleted oxide reserves.

Mali operations: Yatela
Yatela
Yatela is situated some 25km north of Sadiola and approximately
50km south-southwest of Kayes. Mining takes place in an open pit.
Geology
Yatela mineralisation occurs as a keel-shaped body in Birimian
metacarbonates. The ‘keel’ is centred on a fault which was the feeder
for the original mesothermal mineralisation, with an associated weakly
mineralised diorite intrusion. This primary mineralisation was
concentrated to economic grades through dissolution of carbonate-
rich rocks by supergene processes. Gold is disseminated in the
unconsolidated ferruginous, sandy, locally clayed layer that lines the
bottom of a deep trough (max 220m deep) with steep margins. The
ore dips almost vertically on the west limb and more gently towards the
west on the east limb, with tight closure to the south.

Namibia operations: overview
Mineral Resource estimation
Mineral Resource estimation is performed using Datamine® Software.
Block dimensions of 25m x 25m x 5m (X Y Z) and 25m x 125m x 5m
are used as the prototype model. Grade interpolation is done into
these blocks using Ordinary and Indicator Kriging methods. A
geostatistical technique called Uniform Conditioning is then used to
estimate the proportion of economic ore that occur above the Mineral
Resource cut-off and this is reported according to the smallest mining
unit (SMU).

Namibia operations: Navachab
Navachab
Navachab gold mine is located 10km south-west of Karibib and
170km north-west of Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. Navachab
mine is an open-pit mine. Its processing plant, with a production
capacity of 110,000 tonnes per month, includes mills, CIP and electro-
winning facilities.
Geology
The Navachab gold deposit is located in the Pan-African Damara
Orogen and is hosted by Damaran greenschist-amphibolite facies,
calc-silicates, marbles and volcano-clastics. The rocks have been
intruded by granites, pegmatites and (quartz-porphyry dykes) aplite
and have also been deformed into a series of alternating dome and
basin structures. The mineralised zone forms a sheet-like body which
plunges at an angle of approximately 20° to the north-west. The
mineralisation is predominantly hosted in a sheeted vein set (±60%) and
a replacement skarn body (±40%). The mineralisation in the Main Pit is
hosted by a NE-SW striking metamorphosed sequence of greenschist-
amphibolite facies, calc-silicates, marbles and volcanoclastics rocks
that dip at 70° to the west. The gold is very fine-grained and associated
with pyrrhotite and minor amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite, maldonite
and bismuthinite. An estimated 90% of the gold occurs as free gold and
the remainder is present in minerals such as maldonite (Au2Bi).
Approximately 80% of the gold is free milling. Silver is also present and
the gold to silver ratio is approximately 15 to 1.

Geita is the largest of AngloGold Ashanti’s
seven open-pit mines in Africa. Prior to
April 2004, Geita was managed under the
joint venture agreement between Ashanti
and AngloGold. After the merger of the two
companies, Geita is now a wholly owned
subsidiary.
As with any estimation techniques the results are very dependent upon
the data quality and availability. The geological model is a critical input
to the Mineral Resource estimation process. The orebody boundaries
for the individual deposits are defined from the detailed logging of all
geological boreholes and after validation this information is used to
create a three dimensional model. This model is subsequently
populated with an appropriately dimensioned block model. The size of
this block model is determined by analysing different block sizes in
relation to the variance of the blocks. A block size which gives an
optimal variance is then chosen. (40m x 40m x 5m) ordinary kriging is
used to interpolate values into the blocks. A geostatistical technique
called Uniform Conditioning is then used to estimate the proportion of
economic ore that occur above the Mineral Resource cut-off and this
is reported according to the selective mining unit (SMU).

Ore Reserve estimation
The Mineral Resource models as produced by the geology
department are used as the basis for the Ore Reserve. Appropriate
mining dilution is used as a modifying factor in the Ore Reserve
conversion process. Appropriate reserve cut-off grades are applied
and optimised pit shells are generated taking into cognisance the
economic parameters. The final pits are then designed taking into
consideration the optimised pit shell and recommended slope
geometry.

AngloGold Ashanti Supplementary Information: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2007
Tanzania operations: Geita
Geita
Geita gold mine is located approximately 910km from Dar es Salaam
in the Lake Zone of Northern Tanzania; the tenement is geologically
situated within the Sukumaland Greenstone Belt of the Lake Victoria
goldfields which hosts other gold mines including Golden Pride,
Bulyanhulu, Tulawaka and North Mara. This geological terrain is
considered to be one of the most productive Archaean Greenstone
Belts in East Africa. Mining at Geita is undertaken by standard open-
pit mining methods.
Geology
The Geita Greenstone trend is a component of the Sukumaland
Greenstone Belt; it strikes east-west, is 60km long and up to 15km
wide. The terrain is made up of upper to mid-Nyanzian greenstone
facies rocks, mainly clastic sediments, intermediate to felsic
volcaniclastics and Banded Iron Formation that forms a sedimentary
sequence up to 1,000m thick. In the mine lease area, north west
trending deformation corridors separate the Geita Greenstone trend
into three distinct sub-terrains, which have been named Nyamulilima in
the west, Geita in the central part and Kukuluma to the north-east.
Late dextral faults have utilised these corridors, reactivating the pre-
existing fault systems. Gold mineralisation and hydrothermal alteration
of the host lithologies, on all scales, is associated with late stage
ductile to brittle-ductile deformation.

In March 1999 AngloGold Ashanti acquired the
Pikes Peak Mining Company, and interests in the
Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company
(CC&V) and the Jerritt Canyon joint ventures. The
stake in the Jerritt Canyon joint venture was sold to
Queenstake in mid-2003. AngloGold Ashanti
(Colorado) Corporation holds a 67% interest in
CC&V with a 100% interest in gold produced until
loans extended to the joint venture are repaid.
Mineral Resource estimation
A single unified Mineral Resource model has been developed for the
entire district. The unified model encompasses all known deposits and
drilling within the CC&V property. Smaller sub-models are maintained
for Altman and Wild Horse to accommodate the vertical shift in the
mining benches. The estimation method is MIK and the primary
variable estimated is the recoverable gold (not contained gold). An
estimated iron and oxide model is utilised to interpolate block specific
coefficients for input into the metallurgical recovery function.
The method for calculating nominal shake leach values (SLV) is a
robust regression technique using geologically logged categorical
variables. Modelling software is MineSight® and updated drill hole
information is used throughout. The drill-hole database is thoroughly
reviewed before each Mineral Resource estimation and the estimation
domains are based primarily on lithology for each deposit.

Inferred Mineral Resource in business plan
Inferred Mineral Resource is not used in the pit optimisation.
Ore Reserve estimation
The Ore Reserve pit designs were based on Lerch-Grossman (LG)
optimisations of the geological model. The LG algorithm applies
economic values to individual blocks and then generates a pit shell
based on geotechnical constraints. Successive nested shells are
generated until the economic limits of the pit are established. These
shells are then used as a template for final mine design. Pit slope
designs for all deposits were based on geotechnical studies and fell
into two categories of overall angles (60° and 45°). All deposits were
designed using a 10.7m (35 feet) bench height.

United States operations: Cripple Creek and Victor (CC&V)
CC&V is located south-west of Colorado Springs in the state of
Colorado in the United States. Large-scale surface mining began in
1991 and grew with the start of production at the CC&V Cresson
Project in 1994. Today, CC&V is a low-grade, open-pit operation. The
ore is treated using a valley-type, heap-leach process with activated
carbon used to recover the gold. The resulting doré buttons are
shipped to a refinery for final processing.
Geology
The dominant geological feature of the District is an intensely-
altered, alkaline Tertiary-aged, diatreme-intrusive complex hosted in
Precambrian rocks located between the towns of Cripple Creek and
Victor. The Precambrian rocks consist of biotite gneiss,
granodiorite, quartz monzonite and granite. The diatreme intrusive
complex is 6.4km long, 3.2km wide and consists of diatremal
breccia that has been intruded by stocks, dykes and discordant
breccias. Diatremal breccia lithologies include breccias composed
exclusively of volcanic, Precambrian or sedimentary material to any
combination of the three. Early intrusions are predominantly within
the alkaline phonolite-phonotephrite petrographic series and were
followed by later lamprophyres. All rocks have undergone a
complex history of structural deformation and hydrothermal activity.
Gold mineralisation, dated between 27.8 Ma and 26.6 Ma is hosted
in all rock types as veins and disseminated and/or structurally-
controlled orebodies.
The majority of the complex in-filled with the eruptive phase Cripple
Creek Breccia host rock. This complex was subsequently intruded by
a series of Tertiary-aged intrusive dykes and sills that included syenites,
phonolites, phonotephrites and lamprophyres. These intrusives occupy
all of the dominant district structural orientations as do laccoliths and
cryptodomes. District structures are generally near vertical and strike
north-northwest to north-east. These structures are commonly intruded
by phonolite dykes which appear to have also acted as primary
conduits for the late-stage, gold mineralising solutions. Higher grade
pods of mineralisation occur at structural intersections and/or as
sheeted vein zones along zones of strike deflection. High-grade gold
mineralisation is associated with K-feldspar + pyrite +/- carbonate
alteration and occurs adjacent to the major structural and intrusive dyke
zones. The broader zones of disseminated mineralisation occur
primarily as micro-fracture halos around the stronger alteration zones in
the more permeable Cripple Creek Breccia wall rocks.
The average depth of oxidation is 120m and is also developed along
major structural zones to even greater depths. Individual orebodies
can be tabular, pipe-like, irregular or massive. Individual gold particles
are generally less than 20 microns in size and occur as native gold with
pyrite or native gold after gold-silver tellurides. Gold occurs within
hydrous iron and manganese oxides and as gold-silver tellurides. Silver
is present but is economically unimportant. Gold mineralisation can be
encapsulated by iron and manganese oxides, pyrite, K-feldspar
alteration and quartz.
