News Release
14 July 2011
ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI TO SELL MINING AREA TO BLYVOORUITZICHT GOLD
MINING COMPANY
MINING COMPANY
AngloGold Ashanti confirms that it has offered to sell to Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining
Company, subject to the finalisation of a binding agreement, some 390,000 square metres
of its neighbouring Savuka mining area for a consideration of R35 million. The area offered
for sale is not within AngloGold Ashanti’s current mine plan. Pending the signing of the sale
agreement and securing of the necessary regulatory approvals, Blyvoor will mine the area
under contract.
Given the potential losses in jobs and community livelihoods that would follow should
Blyvoor be unable to sustain its operations, AngloGold Ashanti believes that the transaction
offers a “win-win” for both companies and the communities in which they operate.
