ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI : REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2005
PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH IFRS

background image
Quarter 1 2005
Report
for the quarter ended 31 March 2005
Group results for the quarter...
·   Price received improved $29/oz (7%) quarter-on-quarter to $424/oz, following the hedge restructure announced in
January.
·   Production reduced by 5% to 1.569Moz (after adjusting for the closure of Ergo), predominately due to lower South
African production and after strong performances at Morila and Cerro Vanguardia in the prior quarter.
·   Former Ashanti assets Obuasi, Iduapriem and Geita delivered improved production, while Sunrise Dam in Australia
reported record production.
·   Total cash costs increased by 4% to $284/oz, due to lower gold produced, stronger operating currencies and
inflationary pressures in most operating regions.
·   Headline earnings adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives were $77m.

Financial and operating review
OVERVIEW OF THE QUARTER
The hedge restructure announced in January
resulted in the price received for the quarter
improving by $29/oz or 7% to $424/oz. This
compares to an average spot price for the quarter of
$427/oz. The benefit of this gain, and that of an
inventory increase, was partially countered by a 5%
decline in production to 1.569Moz (after adjusting
for the closure of Ergo) and a 5% increase in total
production costs to $366/oz. Gross profit adjusted
for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
increased to $112m from $101m last quarter.
Global cost increases – driven largely by the same
factors that have contributed to the higher gold
price, including strong currencies outside the US, a
higher oil price and the higher price of consumables
driven by demand in China in particular

contributed to the quarter’s higher total cash costs of
$284/oz.
Last year, group cost savings initiatives reduced
costs by $50m, although lower production levels and
strong operating currencies - including the rand and
Australian dollar
- continue to erode margins.
AngloGold Ashanti management has budgeted for a
further $50m in cost savings in 2005. In light of the
increase in cash costs this quarter, additional
measures are being implemented to ensure that the
company reaches its published cash cost target for
the year of $273/oz.
Headline earnings for the quarter, adjusted for the
effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives, declined
to $77m. This includes a statutory tax rate reduction
of $12m. Headline earnings for the prior quarter,
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives, of $135m included an abnormal net tax
gain of $59m. On a comparable basis to
accommodate abnormal items in both quarters,
headline earnings adjusted for the effect of
unrealised non-hedge derivatives decreased from
$76m in the last quarter to $65m in the first quarter.
Including the after-tax unrealised loss on non-hedge
derivatives of $46m, profit attributable to equity
shareholders decreased to $22m.
In South Africa, production was 7% lower, with
Great Noligwa down 23,000oz and production
at both Tau Lekoa and Savuka down 10,000oz.
After strong fourth quarter performances,
production at Morila in Mali and Cerro
Vanguardia in Argentina declined 23,000oz and
11,000oz, respectively. Although many of the
other operations, most notably Sunrise Dam,
which posted another record production quarter
at 131,000oz, performed well, lower production
at the majority of the operations worked to offset
the benefit of these more solid operating
performances.
At the former Ashanti operations, both
Iduapriem and Bibiani recorded improved
operating performances and Geita continued to
perform well. At Obuasi, gold production
increased 2% to 92,000oz, with tonnage treated
up 10% on the previous quarter, due in part to
the treatment of the Kubi pit surface oxides,
which in turn reduced the overall yield. At the
time of reporting, underground grades at Obuasi
have improved by 1g/t and management
expects production to reach 100,000oz next
quarter. Obuasi’s operating loss for the quarter
of $1m is an $11m improvement on that of the
previous quarter.
On 12
April, AngloGold Ashanti filed an
application with the South African High Court for
an interim order seeking the continuation of
pumping of underground water at mines located
updip from the AngloGold Ashanti Vaal River
operations. On 15 April, the South African
Department of Water Affairs and Forestry
issued an interim directive, ordering AngloGold
Ashanti, Harmony and DRDGold to share
equally the costs of pumping the water, until the
Court reaches a final decision regarding the
relevant legal liabilities and responsibilities.
Looking ahead, production for the second
quarter is estimated to be 1.6Moz at an average
total cash cost of $276/oz, assuming the
following exchange rates to the US dollar:
R6.10; A$0.77; BRL2.90 and Argentinean
peso 2.70. Capital expenditure for the quarter
is estimated at $207m but will be managed in
line with profitability and cash generation.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER
SOUTH AFRICA
At Great Noligwa, volume mined dropped 14% as
planned, largely due to the slow start-up at the
beginning of the year. Yield was held to last
quarter’s level and gold production fell 11% to
5,598kg (180,000oz), as a consequence of the
fewer shifts worked.
A decreased by-product contribution from uranium
and the negative impact of lower gold production
combined to increase total cash costs by 18% to
R53,491/kg ($277/oz). These higher total cash
costs, together with lower revenue and unfavourable
inventory movements, resulted in gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives decreasing 38% to R122m ($20m).
The Lost-Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) was
9.51 lost-time injuries per million hours worked (9.80
for the previous quarter). Regrettably, two
employees lost their lives due to falls of ground.
At Kopanang, volume mined was 5% lower than the
record level achieved in the previous quarter. Yield
improved by 4% to 7.49g/t with gold production
falling marginally to 3,737kg (120,000oz). Total cash
costs, at R59,318/kg ($307/oz), increased 7%
quarter-on-quarter. Gross profit adjusted for the
effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
decreased 26% to R53m ($9m), reflecting the lower
gold output and higher costs.
The LTIFR was 12.45 (14.45). Regrettably, one
employee died from a fall of ground incident.
Tau Lekoa’s volume mined decreased by 15%
quarter-on-quarter due to a planned reduction in
mining below cut-off. Contract labour was moved
from low-grade pillar mining to higher grade areas to
help mitigate the effect of this reduction, resulting in
a slightly increased yield of 3.98g/t. Gold production
was unfavourably impacted by this quarter’s lower
volumes and fell 13% to 2,029kg (65,000oz).
Despite cost containment efforts and the
implementation of cost saving initiatives, the
benefits of which were reflected in the absolute
costs, total cash costs increased by 8% to
R83,401/kg ($432/oz).
The LTIFR was 10.77 (15.29). Two employees
regrettably lost their lives due to falls of ground.
Moab Khotsong’s improved gold production of
124kg (4,000oz) is not included in the South
Africa region's production, as the revenue
continues to be capitalised against pre-
production costs. Commercial production is
scheduled for 2006.
The LTIFR was 9.60 (8.41).
At Mponeng, volume mined decreased 7% due
to six fewer breaking shifts this quarter.
Increased mining in the higher grade areas
below the 109 level led to an 8% improvement
in yield to 8.31g/t, resulting in a 3% increase in
gold production to 3,571kg (115,000oz). Total
cash costs decreased marginally to R63,457/kg
($329/oz). Gross profit adjusted for the effect of
unrealised non-hedge derivatives increased
69% to R22m ($3m), reflecting the impact of the
lower costs and improved gold production.
The LTIFR was 15.82 (10.77).
At Savuka, volume mined dropped 9% due to
adverse ground conditions experienced in the
Ventersdorp Contact Reef from geological
structure problems. An increase in off-reef
mining and lower in-situ values resulted in a
17% decline in yield to 5.44g/t, which, together
with the lower volumes, resulted in a 23%
decrease in gold production to 1,000kg
(32,000oz). Total cash costs, which in absolute
terms decreased 8% quarter-on-quarter, were
nevertheless adversely impacted by the lower
gold output and consequently increased 20% to
R107,171/kg ($555/oz). Gross loss adjusted for
the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
increased by 88% to R32m ($5m),
predominantly due to the lower gold production.
Management is focused on a turn-around
strategy for Savuka, although continued
underperformance will likely result in early
closure.
The LTIFR was 13.59 (8.85).
At TauTona, volume mined increased 3% as
improved face advance more than offset a drop
in face length. Yield increased 2% to 10.31g/t
as a consequence of the higher face values.
Gold production declined marginally to 4,067kg
(131,000oz), mainly due to increased material
lock-up resulting from seismicity. Total cash
costs, at R52,492/kg ($272/oz), reflected a 3%
improvement. Gross profit adjusted for the
effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
increased 27% to R61m ($9m).
The LTIFR was 8.84 (14.53).
background image
ARGENTINA
At Cerro Vanguardia (92.5% attributable), gold
production decreased as anticipated by 16% to
57,000oz due to an 8% decrease in ore treated and
a 9% lower feed grade quarter-on-quarter, after a
period of particularly high grades during the second
half of 2004. Although production is expected to
decline slightly in the second quarter of 2005, full-
year production is expected to match last year’s
levels.
Total cash costs were 8% higher quarter-on-quarter
at $141/oz, mainly owing to lower gold and silver
production, although lower labour and mine
equipment rental costs partially offset the effect of
the decreased production. Gross profit adjusted for
the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
declined to $10m as a result of a 28% decrease in
gold revenue.
The LTIFR was 2.14 (4.61).
AUSTRALIA
For the second consecutive quarter, Sunrise Dam
reported record production of 131,000oz,
representing a 15% increase quarter-on-quarter.
Mining continued in the higher grade areas as
planned with recovered grade increasing to 4.60g/t,
which offset the effects of both the lower volume
treated and the increased mining costs. Total cash
costs consequently declined by 4% to A$359/oz
($279/oz).
Gross profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised
non-hedge derivatives, which declined by 37% to
A$17m ($13m) as a result of lower inventory build-
up, a lower price received and lower volume treated,
was partially offset by the favourable grade.
The underground project at Sunrise Dam is well
underway, with 796m of underground capital
development and 742m of operational development
completed.
There were no lost-time injuries at Sunrise Dam (0).
Agreement was reached this quarter amongst the
three parties on the parameters of the Boddington
Feasibility Study and an exercise is underway to
finalise the capital and cost parameters. A decision
on the project implementation is expected in the first
quarter of 2006.
BRAZIL
At AngloGold Ashanti Mineracao, gold
production declined 3% to 57,000oz, mainly due
to a planned decrease in tonnage treated at the
Córrego do Sítio and Cuiabá mines.
Total cash costs were 9% higher at $147/oz, as
a consequence of the lower gold production, a
lower sulphuric acid credit (a function of an 8%
price decrease) and the 4% appreciation of the
Brazilian real. Gross profit adjusted for the
effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
increased 30% to $13m due to a 14% increase
in the received price, which offset the effects of
higher cash costs and a lower quantity of gold
sold.
This quarter, AngloGold Ashanti Mineracao won
the 2004 Dick Fisher Safety Award, the most
prestigious acknowledgement of good safety
performance awarded within the company. The
LTIFR was 2.25 (0.75).
At Serra Grande (50% attributable), gold
production was maintained at last quarter’s level
of 24,000oz. Total cash costs were also
maintained at $147/oz, as the effect of a 4%
appreciation of the Brazilian real was offset by
higher primary development capitalisation.
Gross profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised
non-hedge derivatives increased 50% to $6m
as a consequence of a 15% increase in the
received gold price.
The LTIFR for the quarter was 4.88 (2.46).
GHANA
At Bibiani, production was higher than
anticipated at 33,000oz due to the milling of
higher grade hard rock in addition to tailings,
although production declined 3% quarter-on-
quarter. From the third quarter of this year, it is
anticipated that production at Bibiani will
devolve into tailings treatment alone, as both
the hard rock stockpile and the satellite pits will
be depleted.
Total cash costs increased marginally to
$289/oz. Gross profit adjusted for the effect of
unrealised non-hedge derivatives improved
from a loss of $4m in the previous quarter, to a
break-even point this quarter.
The LTIFR was 2.13 (0).
background image
At Iduapriem (85% attributable), gold production
increased 10% to 46,000oz, primarily as a result of
improved plant availability and consequently,
increased throughput. Total cash costs decreased
19% to $288/oz, due to increased production, and
gross profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-
hedge derivatives improved to $2m.
As previously reported, a mine-to-mill study is
currently underway at Iduapriem and will focus on
the optimisation of the front-end crushing system to
further increase plant throughput.
There were no lost-time injuries this quarter, making
March the 19
th
consecutive month without a lost-
time injury (0).
Production improved 2% at Obuasi to 92,000oz,
largely due to the recently commenced mining of the
Kubi pit surface oxides. In spite of this production
increase, operational performance continues to be
affected by inadequately drilled and developed
reserves. In addition, a SAG mill motor breakdown
at the main processing plant this quarter adversely
affected tonnage throughput. Total cash costs
consequently increased 13% to $362/oz. Gross
loss adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives reduced from $12m to $
Following the quarter close, grade underground
improved by approximately 1g/t owing to an
improved mining mix and increased flexibility,
although reduced development will continue to
constrain the improved mining trend.
The LTIFR was 4.73 (2.56). Regrettably, two
employees lost their lives this quarter, one in a
heavy machinery accident and the other in a slip
and fall.
REPUBLIC OF GUINEA
At Siguri (85% attributable), gold production was
maintained at last quarter’s levels of 43,000oz.
Production, however, was lower than anticipated,
due to the previously-reported delay in the carbon-
in-pulp plant construction and related problems
subsequent to the plant’s commissioning in
February 2005. These difficulties have largely been
resolved and it is expected that improved
performance will be achieved during the remainder
of the year. Total cash costs this quarter decreased
9% to $395/oz. Gross profit adjusted for the effect
of unrealised non-hedge derivatives rose to $2m.
The LTIFR was 0.50 (0.46).
MALI
At Morila (40% attributable), production
decreased by 26% to 67,000oz, reflecting a
26% decline in recovered grade. As noted in the
preceding quarterly report, plant feed grade was
unusually high at the end of 2004 and, as
anticipated, was not sustained during the first
quarter of 2005.
Total cash costs increased by 15% quarter-on-
quarter to $173/oz, mainly due to the grade-
related decline in gold production, although the
unit cost impact of the lower grade was partially
mitigated by improved cost management.
Gross profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised
non-hedge derivatives declined by 37% to $12m
due to the lower gold production. Morila is
expected to meet its 2005 attributable
production target.
The LTIFR was 1.24 (3.71).
At Sadiola (38% attributable), gold production
declined by 19% to 38,000oz due to a 19%
decrease in tonnage throughput. This reduction
came as a result of 14 fewer milling shifts, as a
consequence of an accumulation of extra
working days in the previous quarter and two
public holidays in January. Sadiola
nevertheless remains on track to meet its 2005
attributable production target.
The lower lower production resulted in an 11%
increase in total cash costs to $283/oz. Gross
profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-
hedge derivatives declined by 33% to $2m.
The LTIFR was 1.16 (2.32).
Production at Yatela (40% attributable), at
23,000oz, was 18% below that of the previous
quarter due to a decline in recovered grade.
Total cash costs increased by only 1% to
$280/oz, and the drop in gold production was
largely offset by improved cost performance,
including the significant benefit realised on
cement consumption and costs by moving from
bottom lift stacking to top lift stacking.
`
Gross profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised
non-hedge derivatives, at $2m, was in line with
that of the previous quarter.
The good safety performance of the previous
quarter was maintained and there were no lost-
time injuries (0).
background image
NAMIBIA
At Navachab, gold production increased by 12% to
19,000oz due to 6% increases in both tonnage
throughput and recovered grade. Total cash costs
decreased by 11% to $413/oz as a result of the
increase in production volume. Gross profit adjusted
for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives
improved to a breakeven level, compared to the
$2m loss recorded for the previous quarter after a
crusher breakdown in November resulted in
considerable plant downtime and higher costs.
There were no lost-time injuries (0).
TANZANIA
At Geita, production improved by 1% to 192,000oz
due to a small increase in tonnage throughput.
Total cash costs, at $213/oz, were 19% lower than
those of the previous quarter.
Increased production and a better cost performance
contributed to a 120% improvement in gross profit
adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge
derivatives to $10m. Going forward, yield is
expected to decline and costs are expected to rise,
following the once-off favourable inventory
movements experienced during the first quarter.
The LTIFR was 1.06 (1.02).
USA
At Cripple Creek & Victor (67% ownership with
100% interest in production until initial loans are
repaid), gold production decreased 11% to
81,000oz, after gyratory crusher repairs in
December required a reduction in tons placed
on the leach pad and available recoverable
ounces in the first quarter consequently
declined. In an effort to remedy this shortfall, a
record 5,243,000 tons were crushed and placed
on the leach pad this quarter.
Total cash costs, at $220/oz, were 8% lower
than those of the previous quarter due to
improved operating costs and an increase in the
recoverable ounces placed on the leach pad.
Gross profit adjusted for the effect of unrealised
non-hedge derivatives, at $7m, showed marked
improvement quarter-on-quarter.
There were no lost-time injuries (0). In March,
CC&V achieved 16 months and exceeded one
million hours without a lost-time accident.

Exploration
In South Africa, surface diamond drilling
continued to test Vaal Reef grade and facies
models in the lower Mine Block at Moab Khotsong
and to the southwest of Kopanang.
In Tanzania at Geita, diamond drilling of the Geita
Hill Northeast Extension zone is underway in
order to establish the final open pit extent and
define areas for infill Mineral Resource drilling in
2005.
At Sadiola in Mali, a drilling programme has
commenced to evaluate the sulphide potential at
FE3, FE3 South and FE4, while Mineral Resource
modelling is in progress at the Deep Sulphide
project. Further satellite oxide targets were
identified in a target generation exercise and are
being followed up with drilling.
Greenfields exploration in southern Mali was
terminated and the projects will be farmed out to
third parties.
At Obuasi in Ghana, underground exploration
continues to focus on the below-50 Level project,
testing both the northern and southern corridors of
the Main Reef Fissure. Results remain
encouraging.
At Bibiani, drilling is centred on the delineation of
additional underground Mineral Resources to the
north and below the existing pit.
At Siguiri in Guinea, drilling is underway to test
the oxide depth and strike extensions of the
existing pits. Results to date have been
encouraging. Reconnaissance drilling
commenced on a 2km soil geochemical anomaly
at Foulata, situated 45km west of the plant.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo at the
Kimin project, diamond drilling commenced in
January in the Adidi Mine area to firm up previous
geological interpretations of the mineralisation. As
a precautionary measure, exploration activities in
the area were temporarily suspended at the end
of February to avoid possible conflict with
elements of the local militia. The issues were
resolved by the District Commissioner and other
government representatives and exploration
activities recommenced in April.
In Namibia at Navachab, infill drilling is underway
at Anomaly 16, situated 5km from the current pit.
At Cripple Creek & Victor in the United States,
exploration efforts focused on Mineral Resource
expansion drilling of the Wildhorse Extension
project. Additional metallurgical and geotechnical
studies are ongoing at both the Wildhorse
Extension and South Cresson projects.
In Alaska, a first phase Reverse Circulation
drilling programme was completed on the Lost
Mine South project, situated 40km southwest of
the Pogo mine. The drilling intersected a series of
highly altered structural zones with initially
encouraging gold results. At Livengood, efforts
are currently centred on the definition of higher
grade gold zones within a large, low-grade gold
mineralised envelope. Further prospective land
has been staked and acquired in Alaska and will
be explored in the next few months.
In Brazil, Mineral Resource definition drilling
continued at Lamego, where the Carruagem
exploration ramp advanced 246m during the
quarter to 498m.
background image
At Corrego do Sitio, ongoing drilling at Carvoaria
Velha-Bocaina (situated 2km northeast of
Cachorro Bravo) has confirmed the presence of
multiple narrow, locally high-grade sulphide
horizons. Drilling at Bocaina has extended the
known oxide Mineral Resource to the north and
confirmed the down-plunge continuity of the
sulphide mineralisation. Underground drilling at
Cachorro Bravo continues to intersect high grade
mineralisation in the hanging wall 300 series ore
horizons.
At Serra Grande, drilling continued throughout the
quarter on potential open pit targets.
At the Cerro Vanguardia mine in Argentina,
reconnaissance drilling is underway to define
additional upside on the Fortuna and Atila veins.
Diamond drilling was completed on a target in
eastern Peru with marginal gold results; the
property is now being offered for joint venture.
Two new targets are expected to be drill-tested
this year and regional exploration joint ventures
were signed in February with both Bear Creek
Mining and WestMag Ltd for data packages in
southern Peru.
In Colombia, field evaluation of greenfields
targets and advanced-stage opportunities in the
San Lucas and Middle Cauca project areas
continued, with four projects planned to be drilled
in 2005.
At Sunrise Dam in Australia, drilling from surface
and underground continued to focus on the
underground targets of GQ, Cosmo, Astro and
Hammerhead. Deep drilling targeting the Carey
Shear beneath the open pit intersected
encouraging mineralisation over a strike length of
approximately 400m.
At the Tropicana JV, the initial, broad-spaced
diamond drilling testing for bedrock mineralisation
intersected wide, moderate grade gold intercepts
at the Tropicana Prospect. An induced
polarisation geophysical survey is planned to
commence before additional drill testing is
undertaken. Auger sampling along strike to the
south of the prospect has defined a new
geochemical anomaly, which will be tested by
aircore drilling in the next quarter.
Drill-testing of targets in the Yamarna JV
continued, with assay results forthcoming.
A Heads of Agreement has been signed with
Eurasia Mining plc to forge an exclusive
exploration alliance covering areas in south-
eastern Siberia. This will allow AngloGold
Ashanti to benefit from Eurasia’s local expertise in
order to identify and explore potential exploration
and acquisition opportunities. Eurasia will
manage the projects.
In Laos, a number of high priority exploration
targets were identified outside of the Sepon
project area by the newly formed joint venture with
Oxiana Limited. Initial field work programmes
have commenced.
In Mongolia, drilling of the Torimkhan prospect at
Altan Uul in the southern Gobi region generated
initially encouraging gold results, which are being
followed up with additional drilling and
geophysics. Drilling at Tsagaan Tolgoi, situated in
northwestern Mongolia, did not intersect economic
gold grades.
In China, the technical team continues to focus on
a number of exploration opportunities, as well as
the establishment of relationships with suitable
local partners.

Review of the gold market
The strong investor interest in gold seen during the
latter half of 2004 abated during the first quarter of the
new year. As a result, gold prices were down for this
period. The quarter closed exactly $10/oz lower than
the opening spot price at $428/oz, and the average spot
price of $427/oz for the full quarter was $7/oz or 2%
lower than the average price for the final quarter in
2004. There has been little activity in the market since
the end of the quarter to change this position, and gold
continues to trade sideways.
Whilst the average exchange rate of the rand to the
dollar at around R6/$1 for the quarter remained much
the same as the previous quarter, the rand tended
weaker during much of the quarter. The exchange rate
for the local currency closed at R6.22 to the dollar, or
some 10% weaker than the opening rate of R5.64. As
a result of these circumstances, the South African gold
price has also remained trapped within a relatively
narrow band of R80,000-R86,000/kg, with an average
local spot price of R82,219/kg for the quarter. This
price was 4% down on the average rand spot price for
the previous quarter.
GOLD
The gold price remains closely tied to the strength or
weakness of the dollar, most specifically against the
euro. This relationship continued throughout the latest
quarter (see Graph 1 : Euro/ $ Exchange Rate and US$
Gold Spot Price : 3 January 2005 – 14 April 2005
Indexed)
. Whilst the price/exchange rate correlation is
not as near-perfect as it was during the latter half of last
year, the profile of movements in the two markets is
very similar.
The other element through which the gold price can be
tracked and predicted remains the behaviour of open
interest in gold on the New York Commodity Exchange
(Comex). Investor behaviour in gold on the Comex
tracks very closely the movement in the US dollar/euro
exchange rate, reflected in investor activity in the
US dollar on the International Money Market (IMM) in
Chicago. Graph 2 shows the very close relationship
between the size of net short US dollar positions on the
IMM and the size of net long gold positions on the
Comex. When those trading on the IMM reduce their
net short positions on US dollars, so investors and
speculators reduce their net long positions on Comex.
As the US dollar short position in IMM increases, so the
long position in gold on the Comex increases.
The link between the US dollar gold price and the net
open positions in gold on Comex however, was
somewhat weaker during the past quarter than it has
been over the past three and a half years. The Comex
sustained a substantial correction in open interest in
gold early in 2005, with net positions falling for six
weeks to a low of only some 7Moz net long in mid-
February. This relatively low open position in gold co-
incided with the strongest point of the US dollar against
the euro during the quarter, confirming the link between
behaviour on the Comex, and changes in value of the
US dollar. However, this sharp fall in the net long
position in gold on the Comex translated to only a small
correction in the US dollar spot price of gold. It is likely
that the increase in gold offtake during January 2005 for
the streetTracks Gold Fund in the US softened the
negative impact on the spot gold price of the fall in net
long interest in gold on Comex. Since the low point in
mid-February, investor interest in gold on Comex has
recovered much of the lost ground, and gold futures
and options have traded for the past four weeks at
around 15-17Moz net long.
PHYSICAL DEMAND
The improved physical demand for gold reported in the
latter half of 2004, particularly in respect of jewellery
offtake in certain markets, has been maintained into
2005. With a small recovery in gold mine production
this year (due largely to the return of Freeport to full
gold production in 2005), the physical gold market is
likely to be largely unchanged, and in balance for most
of the year. With investment demand still positive for
gold, however, the final balance of supply and demand
in the gold market will remain of secondary importance,
and investor and speculation purchases on the margin
will continue to be the price-determining force in the
gold market. However, in the longer term it is important
that physical demand is healthy because of the ability of
the physical market to provide offtake and floor price
support at times when investor or speculator interest
weakens.
OFFICIAL SECTOR
The most significant issue for gold in the official sector
in recent months has been the discussion over the gold
reserves of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and
the campaign for debt relief for Heavily Indebted Poor
Countries (HIPCs). Gordon Brown, Chancellor in the
British government, has made the issue of debt relief
through the sale or revaluation of gold reserves of the
IMF a central issue for his term of office as chairman of
the International Monetary and Finance Committee of
the IMF.
background image
This is an idea which is not new to the IMF. During
1999, a campaign with the same objectives was
undertaken with the objective of selling IMF gold
reserves to fund HIPC debt relief. The compromise
reached on that occasion involved not the outright sale,
but rather a revaluation of some 12.9Moz or 13% of IMF
gold holdings to generate sufficient value on the IMF
balance sheet to meet the needs of the proposal at that
time for debt relief. This time, IMF management seems
determined that a process of revaluation of the gold
reserves on their balance sheet will be inappropriate for
the scheme to relieve debt, and that only outright sale
would be appropriate. All of those who have supported
this campaign insist that such outright sales would be
undertaken in a manner that would not damage the gold
market. More specifically, it has been mooted that any
gold sales by the IMF should be effected only within the
constraints and terms of the second Washington
Agreement which provides currently for the sale of
2,500t of gold over five years by signatories to the
agreement (September 2004 – September 2009).
Whilst the proposal to sell a part of the IMF gold
holdings has contributed to some measure of negative
sentiment in the gold market, it is not at all clear that
such a sale will eventuate. The US Treasury opposes
the sale, and central bank officials from both Germany
and the European central bank have spoken out in
opposition to a sale of IMF gold holdings to fund debt
relief. The debate on this subject continues.
CURRENCIES
Whilst there is a broad consensus amongst market
analysts and commentators that the US dollar needs to
weaken further against the currencies of the major
trading counterparties of the US, the dollar lost little
ground during the first quarter of 2005. The structural
problems of budget and current account deficits faced
by the US economy are neutralised in the market from
time to time by the cyclical advantages currently
enjoyed by the USA. These cyclical advantages include
the continued above-average growth of the US
economy and the steady increase in US interest rates,
which are today higher than European central bank
rates for the first time in three years.
With the offset between cyclical and structural
influences, the dollar has appeared almost to be in
equilibrium in a range around $1.30 to the euro during
recent months. It is unlikely that this equilibrium can
last. It is likely that US growth will flag during this year,
and that significantly higher oil prices might yet begin to
show some influence on consumer prices in the
developed economies. Any threat of inflation will trigger
more aggressive monetary and interest rate policies
with direct effect on US growth.
In all, it is difficult to believe that the structural
adjustment required by the US economy is over, or that
the US currency will not devalue further as part of that
adjustment.
Regarding the rand, the past quarter saw a brief period
of volatility and weakness against the US dollar, taking
the exchange rate to R6.38 to the dollar at one point.
However, there was no confirmation of any real trend in
this change, and the strength of the US dollar against
the euro into April has brought little change in the rand,
although an unexpected rate cut by the South African
Reserve Bank of 0.50% in mid-April saw the rand lose
5
cents against the dollar. Notwithstanding the
sustained current account deficit in the South African
economy, other economic and fiscal circumstances in
the country continue to support the rand. Capital
inflows have been sufficient to cover the current
account deficit. It seems unlikely that economic or
currency market circumstances will bring about any
significant change to the value of the rand against the
US dollar, and that any material shift in value will be
brought about by events in other markets.
HEDGING
As at 31 March 2005, the net delta hedge position of
AngloGold Ashanti was 10.72Moz or 334t, valued at the
spot price of gold at that date of $428/oz. This net delta
position reflects an increase of some 240,000oz or 7.5t
in the net size of the AngloGold Ashanti hedge
compared with the position at the end of the previous
quarter. This increase is not due to new hedging
commitments entered into by the company during the
quarter, but by measuring the hedge at the new higher
US interest rates, which give rise to a higher contango,
and therefore to higher gold forward prices. These
higher forward prices in turn translate into higher delta
values for open option positions in future years, and this
has reported as an overall increase in delta hedge
tonnage.
The marked-to-market value of the hedge position as at
31 March 2005 was negative $1,066m, little changed
from the negative value of $1,161m recorded at the end
of December 2004. The price received by the company
for the quarter under review was $424/oz, compared to
an average spot price for the period of $427/oz. The
company continues to manage its hedged positions
actively, and to reduce overall levels of pricing
commitments in respect of future gold production by the
company.

Hedge position
As at 31 March 2005, the group had outstanding the
following forward-pricing commitments against
future production. The total net delta tonnage of the
hedge of the company on this date was 10.72Moz or
334t (at 31 December 2004: 10.49Moz or 326t).
The marked-to-market value of all hedge
transactions making up the hedge positions was a
negative $1.066bn (negative R6.62bn) as at
31 March 2005 (as at 31 December 2004: $1.161bn
or R6.58bn). This value at 31 March 2005 was
based on a gold price of $428/oz, exchange rates of
R/$6.2124 and A$/$0.7734 and the prevailing
market interest rates and volatilities at that date.
As at 26 April 2005, the marked-to-market value
of the hedge book was a negative $1.046bn
(negative R6.35bn), based on a gold price of
$432/oz and exchange rates of R/$6.0675 and
A$/$0.7773 and the prevailing market interest
rates and volatilities at the time.
These marked-to-market valuations are not
predictive of the future value of the hedge
position, nor of future impact on the revenue of
the company. The valuation represents the cost
of buying all hedge contracts at the time of
valuation, at market prices and rates available
at the time.

been reclassified to ensure comparability with the current period. The amendments have been made
to provide the users of the financial statements with additional information. Refer to Note 9,

Non-hedge derivatives in the income statement comprise the change in fair value of all non-hedge derivatives as follows:
-
Open positions: The change in fair value from the previous reporting date or date of recognition (if later) through to the current
reporting date; and
-
Settled positions: The change in fair value from the previous reporting date or date of recognition (if later) through to the date of
settlement.
Headline earnings adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives, is intended to illustrate earnings after adjusting for:
-
The unrealised fair value change in contracts that are still open at the reporting date, as well as, the unwinding of the historic
marked-to-market value of the positions settled in the period; and
-
Investment in hedge restructure transaction: During the hedge restructure of quarter 4, 2004 and quarter 1, 2005, $83m and $69m
in cash was injected into the hedge book in these quarters to increase the value of long-dated contracts. The entire investment in
short-dated derivatives (certain of which have now matured) and investment in long-dated derivatives (all of which have not yet
matured), for the purposes of the adjustment to earnings, will only be taken into account when the realised portion of long-dated non-
hedge derivatives are settled, and not when the short-term contracts are settled.

Contingent liabilities
AngloGold Ashanti acts as ultimate guarantor in respect of sureties provided to bankers and other
parties by its subsidiaries in respect of certain loans and commitments. At 31 March 2005, the
aggregate contingent liability is approximately $57m. Discussions are continuing in respect of the
class action being brought against the former Ashanti Goldfields and it is anticipated that the final
outcome of this claim will have no material effect on the company.
11.      Attributable interest
Although AngloGold Ashanti holds a 66.7% interest in Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company
Limited, it is currently entitled to receive 100% of the cash flows from the operation until the loan,
extended to the joint venture by AngloGold Ashanti USA Inc., is repaid.
12.      Borrowings
AngloGold Ashanti's borrowings are interest bearing.
13.      Announcements
13.1    On 27 January 2005, AngloGold Ashanti announced that the board of directors had approved a
$121m expansion project at the company’s Cuiabá mine in south-eastern Brazil. It is
anticipated that commissioning will take place in December 2006, with full production by the end
of the second quarter of 2007. The expansion project would result in production increasing from
190,000oz/year to 250,000oz/year at an estimated cost of $169/oz over the life of the project
and would extend the life of mine profile by six years to 2019.
13.2    On 27 January 2005, AngloGold Ashanti announced that it had signed a new three-year, $700m
revolving credit facility, replacing the $600m facility which matured in February 2005. The new
facility has reduced the group’s cost of borrowings from 70 basis points over Libor to 40 basis
points.
13.3    On 15 April 2005, the South African Department of Water Affairs and Forestry issued a directive
ordering three mining groups, DRDGold, Harmony and AngloGold Ashanti to share equally, the
costs of pumping water at some shafts of DRDGold’s North West operations in South Africa.
This follows an interdict application made by AngloGold Ashanti in response to DRDGold’s
threat to cease funding the pumping of water at these shafts, after placing its subsidiary
Buffelsfontein into liquidation on 22 March 2005.
13.4    On 28 April 2005, the company announced that agreement had been reached with Trans-
Siberian Gold plc (TSG) on revised terms for the second subscription of shares in TSG, and a
revised subscription price of £1.30 per share, compared to £1.494 per share agreed between
the parties on 30 June 2004. The subscription is conditional on TSG shareholders approval.
AngloGold Ashanti currently holds a 17.5% equity interest in TSG that will increase to 29.9%
upon completion of the second subscription. This announcement followed that of 18 April 2005,
in which AngloGold Ashanti advised that the subscription date had been extended from 15 April
2005 to 29 April 2005.
14.      Dividend
Final dividend No. 97 of 180 South African cents or 15.49 UK pence or 2,683.08 Ghanaian cedis per
share was paid to shareholders on 25 February 2005, while a dividend of 7.55 Australian cents per
CHESS Depositary Interest (CDI) was paid on the same day. A dividend was paid to holders of
Ghanaian Depositary Shares (GhDS) on 28 February 2005 at a rate of 26.83 Ghanaian cedis per
GhDS. Each CDI represents one-fifth of an ordinary share and 100 GhDSs represents one ordinary
share. A dividend was paid to holders of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on 7 March 2005 at a
rate of 30.37 US cents per ADR. Each ADR represents one ordinary share.

15.
Group financial statements
The group financial statements for the quarter ended 31 March 2005 were authorised for issue in
accordance with a resolution of the directors passed on 28 April 2005. AngloGold Ashanti is a limited
liability company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa.
16.      Convertible bonds
The group has changed its accounting policy for convertible bonds. Previously convertible bonds were
accounted for as compound financial instruments, part equity and part liability. The equity component
was not remeasured for changes in fair value
Convertible bonds will now be accounted for entirely as a liability, with the option component disclosed
as a derivative liability, carried at fair value. Changes in such fair value will be recorded in the income
statement.
This change was made in response to additional guidance becoming available on the interpretation of
International Financial Reporting Standards. This change is applied retrospectively and comparative
figures have been restated.
The impact on comparative figures is as follows:
Quarter to December 2004:
Profit attributable to equity shareholders increased by $17m;
Option component previously disclosed as equity ($82m) is removed from shareholders equity, and
replaced by a derivative liability of $56m.
Quarter to March 2004:
Profit attributable to equity shareholders decreased by $22m;
Option component previously disclosed as equity ($82m) is removed from shareholders equity, and
replaced by a derivative liability of $104m.
Year to December 2004:
Profit attributable to equity shareholders increased by $26m;
Option component previously disclosed as equity ($82m) is removed from shareholders equity, and
replaced by a derivative liability of $56m.

Gross profit (loss) adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives plus amortisation of tangible and intangible assets less non-cash revenues.
The results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Based on risks and returns the directors consider that the primary reporting format is by business segment. The directors consider that there is only one business segment being mining, extraction and production of gold. Therefore the disclosures for the primary segment have already been given in the abbreviated financial statements. The secondary reporting format is by geographical analysis by origin.

Certain statements contained in this document, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations
regarding gold prices and production, the completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production
projects, and its liquidity and capital resources and expenditure, contain certain forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, economic
performance and financial condition. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements 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 and market conditions, success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory
environment and other government actions, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. 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 of the annual
report on Form 20-F or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to AngloGold Ashanti or
any person acting on its behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements herein. For a discussion on such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti's annual report on
Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2003, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 19 March 2004.
