THIS IS NOT AN OFFER FOR THE SALE OF SECURITIES. NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO THE
UNITED STATES
7 July 2008
RESULTS OF RIGHTS OFFER
Further to the announcement dated 23 May 2008, AngloGold Ashanti shareholders are advised that the results of
the renounceable rights offer of 69,470,442 new ordinary shares of 25 cents each (“rights offer shares”) to
AngloGold Ashanti ordinary and E ordinary shareholders (“AngloGold Ashanti shareholders”) at a subscription
price of ZAR194.00 per rights offer share and in the ratio of 24.6403 rights offer shares for every 100 AngloGold
Ashanti shares held on the record date of the rights offer, which closed on Friday, 4 July 2008 ("the rights offer"),
are as follows:
AngloGold Ashanti shareholders and their renouncees subscribed for 468,573,856 rights offer shares, equivalent
to 674.5% of the total number of rights offer shares.
The following applications were received:
·   68,105,143 rights offer shares in respect of rights entitlements subscribed for, being 98.0% of the rights
    offer shares; and
·
   400,468,713 rights offer shares in respect of holders of rights wishing to acquire rights offer shares in
    addition to their rights entitlements ("excess applications"), being 576.5% of the rights offer shares.
The allocation of rights offer shares in respect of excess applications will be equitable and will take
cognisance of the number of AngloGold Ashanti shares held by each applicant prior to such allocation
and the number of rights offer shares for which application was made by such applicant.
Due to the fact that the rights offer was fully subscribed after taking into account the excess applications received,
the underwriters will not be allocated any rights offer shares.
Share certificates will be posted to certificated shareholders and their renouncees and the custody accounts of
dematerialised shareholders and their renouncees, who have followed their rights, will be updated and their
accounts credited at their CSDP or broker on Monday, 7 July 2008.
The excess applications are expected to be allocated to shareholders or their renouncees on Friday, 11 July
2008.
Cheques refunding monies in respect of unsuccessful excess applications are expected to be posted to the
relevant applicants, at their risk, on or about Tuesday, 8 July 2008. No interest will be paid on monies received in
respect of unsuccessful applications.

Kingdom, the rights offering was only addressed to and directed at (1) Qualified Investors these being investment professionals falling within

purchase or otherwise acquire such securities has only been engaged with, (1) in the United Kingdom, Relevant Persons and (2) in any

This announcement includes "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-
looking statements, including, without limitation those concerning: AngloGold Ashanti’s strategy to reduce its gold hedging position,
including the extent and effect of the reduction; the economic outlook for the gold mining industry; expectations regarding gold prices,
production, costs and other operating results; growth prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti's operations, individually or in the
aggregate, including the completion and commencement of commercial operations at AngloGold Ashanti's exploration and production
projects and the completion of acquisitions and dispositions; AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and capital resources and expenditure; and the
outcome and consequences of any pending litigation proceedings. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but
rather reflect AngloGold Ashanti's current expectations concerning future results and events and generally may be identified by the use of
forward-looking words or phrases such as "believe", "aim", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "foresee", "forecast", "likely", "should", "planned",
"may", "estimated", "potential" or other similar words and phrases. Similarly, statements that describe AngloGold Ashanti's objectives, plans
or goals are or may be forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the AngloGold Ashanti's
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

For a discussion of such risk factors, shareholders should refer to the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2007,
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 19 May 2008 and, when available, the rights offer circular. These factors
are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti's actual results to differ materially from those expressed
in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results.
