This is AngloGold Ashanti’s fifth Diggers & Dealers Forum since the company listed
on the Australian Stock Exchange and we are very pleased to be participating once
again.
Since that debut appearance, the company has grown earnings and diversified
further to become the truly global producer you saw on the video. That video clip
was distilled from what we think is a unique film encapsulating AngloGold Ashanti’s
values, as viewed through the eyes of the company’s employees. You can watch
the full video at our booth.
You will notice that we have a new logo following the completion of the merger with
Ashanti Goldfields in April. The merger has combined AngloGold’s technical
expertise and financial strength with Ashanti’s world-class people and orebodies
and we expect the benefits to become apparent as we realise the full potential of
these assets over the next few years.
In the short term AngloGold Ashanti’s reserves have been boosted by 33% to 84
million ounces and production this year will rise to between 6.2 and 6.3 million
ounces.
Charles Carter will go into more detail about the Ashanti merger and what it has
brought to the company later in this presentation. In the meantime I’d like to give
you an update on what we have been doing in the Australian and Asian region.

AngloGold Ashanti Mines
AngloGold Ashanti’s key assets in the Australian region are the Sunrise Dam gold mine,
220 kilometres north-east of Kalgoorlie, and the Boddington Expansion Project, 100
kilometres south-east of Perth, where we have a 33.3% interest in a joint venture with
Newmont and Newcrest.
As our Boddington partners have said in earlier in this forum, we all remain positive
about the potential of what is the largest undeveloped gold deposit in the world and we
are working together to take this project forward.
A first-rate team is revising the original feasibility study and optimising the project to
generate the best economic benefits possible. We are still considering a range of
throughput rates, all of which are higher than the 25 Mtpa envisaged in the original
study. We’re also considering whether or not to make provision in the flowsheet to allow
for expansion of the plant in the future.
We hope to be in a position to take recommendations to our boards about the expansion
of Boddington in the second half of 2005.
Union Reefs, in the northern Territory, is now in care and maintenance, and we are
considering options for divestment.
We carry out greenfields exploration in Western Australia and have opened an
exploration office in Mongolia and a representative office in China. Activities in these
countries and the other countries in the Asian region that are highlighted on the map are
managed out of our Perth office.
I’d now like to give you an update on our activities at the Sunrise Dam mine.

Cumulative depletion
A key feature of Sunrise Dam since start-up has been steady growth in reserves
and resources. Drilling success and a remodelling of the orebody enabled the
geologists to add a further 1.34 million ounces to the resource last year, before
mining depletion of 0.44 million ounces, and 1 million ounces of reserves, again
before mining depletion.
The majority of this resource growth was in underground resources, particularly in
the GQ, Sunrise Shear and Hammerhead structures.
As at December 31, 2003, total resources at Sunrise Dam were 5.5 million ounces
and reserves at that date totalled 3.1 million ounces.
Ongoing drilling from surface and underground continues to deliver encouraging
results and we are confident we will add further to resources. We’ve allocated
approximately US$3.75 million for mine exploration this year.
Sunrise Dam is on track to produce 405,000 ounces in 2004 at a total cash cost of
US$237/oz.

SUNRISE DAM - Underground
Last year when we presented at this Forum the AngloGold board had just approved
a three-year underground feasibility study at Sunrise Dam. To recap, this project
involves development of two declines and about 125 km of underground and
surface drilling to fully explore the underground potential of the operation. The
capital cost of A$87 million will be offset by the mining of known underground
reserves of about 300,000 oz. We hope to be able to make a decision to go ahead
with full scale underground mining early in 2007.
Development of the Daniel Decline, which goes through the Sunrise Shear Zone,
began in October last year and we’ve now completed approximately 2,600 metres of
development, of which 1,700m is decline development.
The Daniel Decline will give underground drilling access to the HQ, Dolly, Cosmo
and Hammerhead zones, which could not be effectively accessed or drilled in
sufficient detail from surface.
A second decline will be developed into the Western Shear Zone in 2005.

This is a section showing the northern part of the deposit, looking to the
east, where underground development has provided the first underground
drilling positions at Sunrise Dam, enabling new zones to be tested at more
favourable orientations and at significantly lower cost.
This year we’ve discovered two new zones of mineralisation in the north.
Surface drilling north of the Sunrise pit ramp, in an area known as Target 7,
intersected strong mineralisation with abundant visible gold in a zone
approximately 8 metres wide, which is open to the north and south. 14m at
38.6 g/t was returned from the first hole and the follow-up programme has
just been completed.
Significant intercepts were also returned in the first underground exploration
hole drilled at Sunrise Dam. These results represent mineralisation located
beneath the Sunrise pit, which is open in all directions.
As you can see from these results, we’ve had encouragement from a
number of areas since the commencement of the Underground Feasibility
drilling programmes late last year.
You can also see on this slide that we have commenced underground
grade control drilling of the Sunrise Shear Zone, which is designed to prove
up the first underground stoping panels to be mined in 2004.

Drilling last year confirmed the existence of the Carey Shear Zone, which we believe
is geologically analogous to the Sunrise Shear Zone. We also identified high-grade
mineralisation below this zone at a depth of about 1,200m. Gold beneath the Carey
Shear is significant in the geological model because it opens up the potential for the
discovery of new zones in up-dip positions, which, of course, will be at shallower
depths.
In the first half of this year we’ve been focusing on underground targets beneath the
pit including the Sunrise Shear Zone, Northern Deeps and Astro in the north and
Dolly, Cosmo and Hammerhead in the South.
This is a view of the southern part of the deposit looking toward the north.
Surface drilling into Dolly and Hammerhead continues to return high grade results.
Drilling has also extended the Cosmo mineralisation approximately 400 metres
down dip.
The area to the east of Cosmo and Hammerhead will be drilled from the base of the
open pit in the second half of this year. This is a poorly drilled area that has
considerable potential, as indicated by the recent intercept of 8m at 5.8 g/t, which is
similar in style to Hammerhead and open in all directions.
In the second half of the year underground drilling will focus on the southern part of
the deposit from positions that will become available in the Daniel Decline as it
progresses towards the south. Targets include GQ, Dolly, Cosmo and
Summercloud.

EXPLORATION
In the June quarter we completed the acquisition of the Lord Byron and Fish projects
in the Laverton Belt as part of a swap agreement with Apollo Gold (now Crescent
Gold). Previous explorers at Lord Byron and Fish had identified resources of
approximately 343,000 ounces and we are carrying out work to verify and extend
these resources. We will also be testing a number of new targets in the lease area
including a priority target north of the resource where there is a previously untested
high-order soil anomaly. A 40-hole drilling programme is underway at the project. Our
objective in the area is to locate additional resources, which may be exploited through
Sunrise Dam.
AngloGold Ashanti has a total exploration budget for 2004 of US$13.6 million for the
Australian and Asian region and of this we will spend US$6.9 million on greenfields
exploration.
Our two key greenfields exploration plays, also in Western Australia, are Tropicana,
where we are earning 70% from Independence Group and Yamarna, where we are
earning 70% from Terra Gold Mining.
The joint ventures cover large ground positions in both areas. At Tropicana we’ve
completed magnetic surveys and have drilling planned for the second half of this year
as Chris Bonwick explained in Independence’s presentation on Monday.
At Yamarna first pass drilling of the southern targets has been completed, returning a
number of anomalous results requiring follow up. With Aboriginal access agreements
being finalised we plan to test our northern targets in the near future.

Alternatives for working with juniors
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
•
joint ventures
• option agreements
• buy-back/claw back arrangements
• equity investments
• divest with retained exposure to upside
• strategic alliances
We are actively examining exploration opportunities in a number of Asian countries,
either in our own right, or through partnerships with local companies and juniors.
AngloGold Ashanti believes it is healthy to develop and nurture relationships with
juniors to capitalise on the strengths of both parties and thereby increase our
options.
We are flexible in the arrangements we form with juniors and agreements can range
from simple joint ventures to deals like the one we announced with Trans Siberian
Gold last month where we have taken an equity stake in the company in a staged
agreement.

As traditional exploration areas mature and the acquisition and discovery of
orebodies has become more difficult, AngloGold Ashanti is focusing on prospective
areas in the globe that may have a higher risk profile.
As I mentioned at the start of this presentation, we’re now active in Mongolia and
China as part of this “new frontiers” strategy, which is being managed in the Asia-
Pacific region by the Perth office.
We’ve established an exploration office in Mongolia where we are actively picking
up tenements. Do date the majority of our field work has focused on the Ikh Shankh
property in the Southern Gobi, about 100 km from Oyu Tolgoi. This is a classic
porphyry gold-copper target and we’ve completed mapping, sampling, ground
magnetic and IP surveys. Drilling of a coincident magnetic-IP anomaly is scheduled
to start later this year.
In China we have established a representative office in Beijing, which forms the
base for two expat and two Chinese national geologists. This team is investigating
opportunities, building relationships and developing an understanding of the
operating environment. We are taking a long-term view on China.
I’d now like to hand over to Charles Carter who will give you an update on the
integration of the Ashanti assets.

ASHANTI INTEGRATION
Charles Carter - Vice President
Diggers & Dealers Forum 2004
Kalgoorlie – July 28, 2004
Thank you Peter.
In the brief time I have, I want to cover key points about the merger with Ashanti,
with the focus mainly on the Obuasi mine in Ghana, given that this is a large driver
of value in the deal, though by no means the only one.
14
AngloGold Ashanti merger complete 26 April 2004
• significant present and future production, acquired at a good price
• increased reserves by 33%
• focus on:
• adding value to existing Ashanti operations
• exploiting long life assets with significant reserve growth potential
• Obuasi:
• improve production and costs above 50L
• Obuasi Deeps potential
MERGER OVERVIEW
AngloGold’s merger with Ashanti was completed on April 26, 2004. Our second
quarter, which we report on Friday, will account for these assets as from 1
st
May.
On a comparative basis to other transactions in the gold sector, we have gained
significant present and future production at a good price. As Peter has mentioned,
our reserves have increased by 33%. Two strategic imperatives drove this
transaction:
- Adding value to existing Ashanti operations, using our cash flow and balance sheet
strength, together with our diverse technical expertise
- Putting our foot on long life assets with significant reserve growth potential
In terms of value drivers, there are two parts to the Obuasi story, which I’ll discuss
briefly in this presentation
- Improving production and costs above 50 level
- Turning to account the Obuasi Deeps potential

First though, let me comment briefly on our now dominant presence in West Africa.
This part of the world, notwithstanding its very long and distinguished history in gold mining,
is emerging as a significant growth region for gold.
In addition to ourselves, you have Gold Fields, Golden Star, Randgold and Iamgold as
producers, with Newmont (thanks to Normandy) and Red Back Mining poised to become
producers from 2005/6. Combined, AngloGold Ashanti and these six companies are
expected to produce an estimated 4 Moz per annum from 2006 in West Africa, with over $1
billion being spent on project development over the next three years.
This year, approximately 22% of AngloGold Ashanti’s production will come from West Africa
(50% from Southern Africa, 10% from East Africa, and 5-8% each from Australia, North and
South America). Obuasi and Geita alone in 2003 produced over 1 million ounces.
Thus this transaction has allowed us to consolidate our ownership of Geita in Tanzania –
which is a very exciting property – and to build on our presence in Mali and now Ghana, to
become the dominant gold player in West Africa.
We have completed the restructuring of the Ashanti corporate structure – closing their
London office, relocating some Ashanti officers to Johannesburg, and rationalizing
remaining management. Savings of approximately $11.4m p.a. have been realized through
the repayment of Ashanti’s $139m revolving credit facility, the termination of consulting
contracts, restructuring insurance contracts and procurement procedures, and closing their
London office.

Obuasi above 50 level has resources of 20.9 Moz and Reserves of 10.8 Moz
Part of the value creation in the transaction involves fully modernizing the existing
Obuasi mines.
This vertical projection, approximately 8km across, shows South Mine, Central Mine
and North Mine
The Obuasi ore body has demonstrated continuity for some 8 km along strike and
1.5 km down dip.
Northern areas of the mine are characterized by thinner, higher grade, quartz vein
ore bodies. Southern areas house wider, lower grade, sulphide ores. The thinner,
higher grade quartz veins are the primary target of the Obuasi Deeps project, which
I’ll discuss in a moment.
Currently mining is predominantly sub-level open stoping, with minor cut and fill.

As a result of holing the decline ramp in April, access between 26 and 32 levels in
South Mine has been completed, enabling access from the Sansu mine portal at
South Mine to 26 Level.
Thus in respect of early interventions, the last four months have seen visible
improvements in access for personnel and equipment in South Mine, while work is
ongoing to improve the planning and excavation of truck loading points,
intersections, passing areas and curves, so as to increase productivity and improve
safety. Maintenance areas have also been upgraded.
Work on the 32 Level connection between GCS and KMS shafts has been
prioritized, with completion scheduled for the second quarter of next year.
Once complete, you will be able to drive from surface at South Mine, through
Central Mine, to North Mine. This will have multiple benefits for fleet mobility,
maintenance and efficiency, as well as for ventilation (for South Mine) and
exploration, with 32 Level becoming a drilling platform.
Completion of the BSVS shaft equipping is also underway. Raise boring of 16L to
26L should be completed in December 2004 – this is being done for ventilation. It
will take 6 months to equip the conveyor drive. Targeted start to development is Q3
2005, with development to KMS shaft in 2005/2006. This will allow development and
effective mining of the lower blocks in Central Mine.
We believe there is significant exploration potential at Obuasi above 50 level.

At Obuasi, a lack of developed and drilled reserves, in addition to equipment
availability, is impacting gold production. The delivery of new equipment is in
progress, principally drill rigs, loaders and trucks. Lower than planned development
achievements are being addressed by improving the mining contractor’s equipment.
The cumulative impact of reduced development is what constrains most aspects of
Obuasi’s mine plan today. This we are tackling as we speak.
19
CHALLENGES
At Obuasi, near term challenges include:
• lack of developed and drilled reserves
• refurbishment and rationalisation old equipment
• new equipment starting to arrive
• new planning systems
• ventilation and cooling
Impact of interventions should be visible in 4-6 quarters
In respect of mine equipment, the overall objective is to reduce equipment from 200
units to 160 units and in the process to remove excess equipment from the mine. At
the same time, the fleet is being upgraded and refurbished. A fleet size of less than
30 LHDs, including those used by the contractor, is being targeted.
We have appointed a new GM and have delayered the local management team. A
new Mineral Resource Manager has been appointed and the centralisation of the
MRM office and personnel at Obuasi is underway. GMSI and Datamine are tasked
to assist with a full system design and data processing. Once fully operational, the
new MRM system will result in additional confidence in the calculation of reserves
and resources, greater flexibility in life of mine planning processes, and detailed
reconciliation and production reporting.
A project team, led by a new Workplace Environmental Manager, has been set up
to review all aspects of ventilation and cooling, with the immediate priority on short
and medium term interventions aimed at addressing temperatures particularly in
Central Mine.
Thus while near term we have our work cut out to improve production and
efficiencies at Obuasi above 50 level, there is significant upside for us in achieving
this. We should start to see the beneficial results of these interventions in the next
4-6 quarters.
20
CHALLENGES
Obuasi Deeps
• 45,000m drilling completed in Central Deeps
• Coverage along strike of whole ore body, in 5 year programme
• Two phase development in initial conceptual studies
• Dedicated Deeps project team in place late year
In respect of exploration at depth, thus far 45,000m of diamond drilling has been
completed in Central Deeps, while drilling in North Deeps has started. This is to test
mineralization in the southern corridor gray areas, between North and South mines
(i.e. drilling from 42 North and 19 North, at 39L, testing towards the South).
The focus to date has been around the KMS central shaft and is now shifting to the
North area. The intention is to get coverage along the whole strike of the ore body.
Currently six holes to test the Deeps are being planned, while consideration is also
being given to undertaking at least one long hole to 3 km, so as to confirm structure
at depth.
The current conceptual approach to develop Obuasi Deeps is based on two phases:
First, accessing the top part of the Deeps orebody quickly, using declines, and the
existing shaft infrastructure. In this model the cost would be spread over time,
making the project self-funding. Pre-requisites for fast tracking are increased
hoisting capacity of KMS shaft from 51L and a sufficient supply of cool air. Second,
sinking a new deep shaft, with associated infrastructure, to enable access beyond
65 Level.
These conceptual studies are ongoing, while the expertise to develop plans for a
new vertical shaft and associated infrastructure should be in place at Obuasi by the
end of the year.

The second cross section shows the deepest drilling to date down to 67 level and
further good grades below 60 level. If mineralization is extrapolated down to 100
level (3000m) – and there’s no reason why this shouldn’t be the case – then there’s
a long life ahead for Obuasi Deeps.

EXPLORATION
Lastly, let me comment briefly on our African exploration activities.
The combined AngloGold and Ashanti African exploration teams have been merged
and rationalized, and have relocated to Accra.
Exploration presence has been withdrawn from Sierra Leone, Burkino Faso and
Cote d’Ivoire.
Outside of West Africa, where we are exploring in Ghana and Mali, preparations are
being made to commence exploration drilling on the Kimin prospect in the Ituri
region of the DRC. While this is obviously a tough environment right now, we are
looking forward to the opportunity to fully explore the properties we have in the
Congo, believing that we now have access to potentially exciting growth prospects
in Central Africa.
Thank you.
