AngloGold Ashanti AU

AngloGold Ashanti plc is an independent, global gold mining company with a diverse portfolio of operations, projects and exploration activities across 10 countries on four continents. The company's main product is gold, which is mined and processed into doré on site before being sent to precious metals refineries for refining to a purity of at least 99.5% in accordance with London Bullion Market Association standards. Refined gold is then sold directly to bullion banks. By-products of gold mining operations include silver in Argentina and sulphuric acid in Brazil.

The company generates revenue primarily from the sale of refined gold to bullion banks, with additional revenue streams coming from the sale of by-product silver and sulphuric acid. Revenue is derived from the production and sale of gold and associated minerals extracted from its mining operations worldwide. The company serves a global customer base of precious metals traders, refineries, and financial institutions that purchase gold and silver for investment, industrial, and jewelry purposes.

The company operates through the following segments:

• Africa: This segment includes operations in Egypt, Ghana, Guinea, and Tanzania, as well as a non-managed joint venture in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Egypt, the company operates the Sukari gold mine through a 50% interest in Sukari Gold Mines Company. In Ghana, it manages the Iduapriem and Obuasi mines. In Guinea, it holds the Siguiri mine through its subsidiary Société AngloGold Ashanti de Guinée S. A. In Tanzania, it operates the Geita gold mine. The segment also includes a 45% interest in the Kibali gold mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, operated by Barrick Mining Corporation.

• Americas: This segment encompasses operations in Argentina and Brazil, along with exploration and development projects in the United States and Colombia. In Argentina, the company has an interest in the Cerro Vanguardia mine. In Brazil, it operates through AGA Mineração, which includes the Cuiabá and Lamego mines. In the United States, the company is advancing projects such as Arthur Gold, North Bullfrog, and the Mother Lode, and acquired the Augusta Gold Corp. assets in 2025, adding the Sterling mine and related deposits. In Colombia, the company holds the Quebradona project and had the La Colosa project, which was under agreement for sale as of March 2026.

• Australia: This segment consists of operations in Western Australia, including the Sunrise Dam and Tropicana mines. The company holds 100% of the Sunrise Dam mine and a 70% interest in the Tropicana joint venture. Both mines are located on granted mining leases with long operational lives, and the company continues to explore for additional resources in the region, including early-stage activities in Queensland.

AngloGold Ashanti holds a strong position in the global gold mining industry as one of the world's largest gold producers by output, with a diversified portfolio that reduces reliance on any single jurisdiction. The company competes with other major international gold miners such as Newmont Corporation, Barrick Gold Corporation, and Kinross Gold Corporation. Its competitive advantages include a geographically balanced asset base, operational expertise in deep-level and bulk mining, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation and cost control.

The company's customer base consists primarily of bullion banks, precious metals traders, and international refineries that purchase gold and silver for further processing and distribution. These customers include major financial institutions and trading houses involved in the global precious metals market. The company also sells by-products such as sulphuric acid to industrial users in Brazil and silver to metal traders and industrial consumers.
