Electricity Supply Interruptions Stop AngloGold Ashanti's South African Mining
Operations
Operations
Following notification from Eskom regarding interruptions to power supplies, AngloGold
Ashanti has halted mining and gold recovery operations on all of its South African operations.
Only underground emergency pumping work is being carried out. According to Eskom, the
current situation arises from reduced generating capacity aggravated by problems associated
with coal supplies to power stations caused by unusually heavy rainfall. Eskom has not yet
indicated how long the present situation will continue but the company is in contact with the
electricity supply body.
