Non-GAAP financial measures

In this annual report on Form 20-F, AngloGold Ashanti presents the financial items “total cash costs”, “total cash costs per ounce”, “total production costs” and, “total production costs per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “all-in costs” and “all-in costs per ounce”, which have been determined using industry guidelines and practices promulgated by the Gold Institute and are not US GAAPIFRS measures. An investor should not consider these items in isolation or as alternatives to production costs, net income/profit/(loss) applicable to commonequity shareholders, income/profit/(loss) before income tax provision, nettaxation, cash provided byflows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with US GAAP. IFRS.

While the Gold Institute has provided definitions for the calculation of total cash costs and total production costs and during June 2013 the World Gold Council published a Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs” and “all-in costs” metrics, the calculation of total cash costs, total cash costs per ounce, total production costs, and total production costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs, all-in sustaining costs per ounce, all-in costs and all-in costs per ounce may vary significantly among gold mining companies, and by themselves do not necessarily provide a basis for comparison with other gold mining companies. See “Glossary“—Glossary of selected terms – terms–Financial terms – terms–Total cash costs” and –“, “—Glossary of selected terms–Financial terms–Total production costs”, “ —Glossary of selected terms–Financial terms–All-in sustaining costs” and “—Glossary of selected terms–Financial terms–All-in costs”. Nevertheless, AngloGold Ashanti believes that total cash costs, total production costs, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs in total and per ounce are useful indicators to investors and management as they provide:

A reconciliation of both cost of sales and total cash costs as included in the company’s audited financial statements to total cash costs, total production costs, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs for each of the three years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 is presented herein. See “Item 5A.:5: Operating results – and Financial Review and Prospects—Total all-in sustaining costs, all-in costs and total cash costs and total production costs”.

Shares and shareholders

In this annual report on Form 20-F, references to ordinary shares, ordinary shareholders, equity shareholders and shareholders/members, should be read as common stock, common stockholders and stockholders, respectively, and vice versa.

BIF:Banded Ironstone Formation. A chemically formed iron-rich sedimentary rock.

By-products:Any products that emanate from the core process of producing gold, including silver, uranium and sulfuricsulphuric acid.

Calc-silicate rock:A metamorphic rock consisting mainly of calcium-bearing silicates such as diopside and wollastonite, and formed by metamorphism of impure limestone or dolomite.

Carbon-in-leach (CIL):Gold is leached from a slurry of gold ore with cyanide in agitated tanks and adsorbed on to activated carbon granules at the same time (i.e. when cyanide is introduced in the same circuit.leach tank, there is already activated carbon in the tank and there is no distinction between leach and adsorption stages). The carbon granules are separated from the slurry and treated in an elution circuit to remove the gold.

Carbon-in-pulp (CIP):Gold is leached conventionally from a slurry of gold ore with cyanide in agitated tanks. The leached slurry then passes into the CIP circuit where activated carbon granules are mixed with the slurry and gold is adsorbed on to the activated carbon. The granules aregold-loaded carbon is separated from the slurry and treated in an elution circuit to remove the gold.

CLR: Carbon leader reef.

Comminution:Comminution is the crushing and grinding of ore to make gold available for treatment. (See also “Milling”).

Contained gold:The total gold content (tons multiplied by grade) of the material being described.

Cut-off grade (surface mines):The minimum grade at which a unit of ore will be mined to achieve the desired economic outcome.

Depletion:The decrease in the quantity of ore in a deposit or property resulting from extraction or production.

Development:The process of accessing an orebody through shafts and/or tunneling in underground mining operations.

Diorite:An igneous rock formed by the solidification of molten material (magma).

Doré:Impure alloy of gold and silver produced at a mine to be refined to a higher purity, usually consisting of 85 percent gold on average.purity.

Electro-winning:A process of recovering gold from solution by means of electrolytic chemical reaction into a form that can be smelted easily into gold bars.

Elution:Recovery of the gold from the activated carbon into solution before zinc precipitation or electro-winning.

Feasibility study:A comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable Modifying Factors together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a Pre-Feasibility Study (JORC 2012).

Flotation:Concentration of gold and gold-hosting minerals into a small mass by various techniques (e.g. collectors, frothers, agitation, air-flow) that collectively enhance the buoyancy of the target minerals, relative to unwanted gangue, for recovery into an over-flowing froth phase.

The ratio of contained gold delivered to the metallurgical plant divided by the estimated contained gold of ore mined based on sampling.

Mineral deposit:A mineral deposit is a concentration (or occurrence) of material of possible economic interest in or on the earth’s crust.

Mineral Resource: A concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the earth’s crust is such form, grade (or quality), and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade (or quality), continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources are sub-divided in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated or Measured categories (JORC, 2012).

Modifying Factors:Modifying Factors’ are considerations used to convert Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.

Probable Ore Reserve:Ore Reserve for which quantity and grade are computed from information similar to that used for Proven Reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are further apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for Proven Reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.

Productivity:An expression of laborlabour productivity based on the ratio of gramsounces of gold produced per month to the total number of employees in mining operations.

Proven Ore Reserve:Ore Reserve for which the (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade is computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of the Ore Reserve are well established.

Project capital:Capital expenditure to either bring a new operation into production; to materially increase production capacity; or to materially extend the productive life of an asset.

Proven Ore Reserve:A ‘Proven Ore Reserve’ is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource. A Proven Ore Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors.

Recovered grade:The recovered mineral content per unit of ore treated.

Stope:Stoping:Underground excavation where the orebody is extracted.The process of excavating ore underground.

Stripping ratio:The ratio of waste tonnes to ore tonnes mined calculated as total tonnes mined less ore tonnes mined divided by ore tonnes mined.

Stoping:The process of excavating ore underground.

Syngenetic:Formed contemporaneously with the deposition of the sediment.

Yield:The amount of valuable mineral or metal recovered from each unit mass of ore expressed as ounces per short ton or grams per metric tonne.

Zinc precipitation:Zinc precipitation is the chemical reaction using zinc dust that converts gold in solution to a solid form for smelting into unrefined gold bars.

Financial terms

All-in costs:All-in costs are all-in sustaining costs including additional non-sustaining costs which reflect the varying costs of producing gold over the life-cycle of a mine. Non-sustaining costs are those costs incurred at new operations and costs related to ‘major projects’ at existing operations where these projects will materially increase production. All-in costs per ounce is arrived at by dividing the dollar value of the sum of these cost metrics, by the ounces of gold sold.

All-in sustaining costs:During June 2013 the World Gold Council (WGC), an industry body, published a Guidance Note on “all-in sustaining costs” metric, which gold mining companies can use to supplement their overall non-GAAP disclosure. “All-in sustaining costs” is an extension of the existing “total cash cost” metric and incorporates all costs related to sustaining production and in particular recognises the sustaining capital expenditure associated with developing and maintaining gold mines. In addition, this metric includes the cost associated with developing and maintaining gold mines. In addition, this metric includes the cost associated with corporate office structures that support these operations, the community and rehabilitation costs attendant with responsible mining and any exploration and evaluation costs associated with sustaining current operations. All-in sustaining costs per ounce is arrived at by dividing the dollar value of the sum of these cost metrics, by the ounces of gold sold.

Average number of employees:The monthly average number of production and non-production employees and contractors employed during the year, where contractors are defined as individuals who have entered into a fixed-term contract of employment with a group company or subsidiary. Employee numbers of joint ventures represents the group’s attributable share.

Capital expenditure:Total capital expenditure on tangible assets.

Discontinued operation:A component of an entity that, pursuant to a single plan, has been disposed of or abandoned or is classified as held for sale until conditions precedent to the sale have been fulfilled.

Effective tax rate:Current and deferred taxation charge for the year as a percentage of profit before taxation.

OANDA Corporation:An internet-based provider of forex trading and currency information services.

Rated bonds:The $700 million 5.375 percent bonds due 2020, $300 million 6.5 percent bonds due 2040 and the $750 million 5.125 percent bonds due 2022.

Region:Defines the operational management divisions within AngloGold Ashanti Limited, namely South Africa, Continental Africa (Ghana,(DRC, Ghana, Guinea, Mali Namibia and Tanzania), Australasia, and the Americas (Argentina, Brazil and United States of America).

Related party:Parties are considered related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.

Significant influence:The ability, directly or indirectly, to participate in, but not exercise control over, the financial and operating policy decision of an entity so as to obtain economic benefit from its activities.

STRATE:Strate:The licensed Central Securities Depository (CSD) for the electronic settlement of financial instruments in South Africa.

Total cash costs:Total cash costs include site costs for all mining, processing and administration, reduced by contributions from by-products and are inclusive of royalties and production taxes. Depreciation, depletion and amortization,amortisation, rehabilitation, corporate administration, employee severance costs, capital and exploration costs are excluded. Total cash costs per ounce are the attributable total cash costs divided by the attributable ounces of gold produced.

Total production costs:Total cash costs plus depreciation, depletion and amortization,amortisation, employee severance costs, rehabilitation and other non-cash costs. Corporate administration and exploration costs are excluded. Total production costs per ounce are the attributable total production costs divided by the attributable ounces of gold produced.
