AngloGold Ashanti Announces Pricing of $1 billion Issue of 10-Year, 30-Year
Notes

(JOHANNESBURG) --- AngloGold Ashanti Limited ("AngloGold Ashanti") announces
the pricing of an offering of $1 billion of 10-year and 30-year unsecured
notes, providing the company with financing to help meet its strategic
objectives and to extend the tenor of debt on its balance sheet.

The offering consisted of $700 million of 10-year unsecured notes at a coupon
of 5.375%, a premium of 165 basis points over 10 year Treasuries and $300
million of 30-year unsecured notes at a coupon of 6.50%, a premium of 200 basis
points over Treasuries. The issue was significantly oversubscribed. Subject to
customary conditions, the offering is expected to close on April 28, 2010.

"This is the first 30 year investment grade issue by a South African issuer and
speaks volumes for the confidence that international investors have both in
AngloGold Ashanti and corporate South Africa.'' Mark Lynam, senior vice
president of AngloGold Ashanti's treasury & finance, said.

The notes were issued by AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc, a wholly owned
subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed
by AngloGold Ashanti.

AngloGold Ashanti estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be
approximately $983 million, after deducting discounts and estimated expenses.
AngloGold Ashanti intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay
certain indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, including to fund
capital expenditure and the development of the AngloGold Ashanti's projects
pipeline. Pending such application, AngloGold Ashanti may temporarily repay
indebtedness under its credit facilities or place the funds in short-term
deposits.

Barclays Capital and Goldman, Sachs & Co. acted as active book-runners for the
offering and Royal Bank of Canada and Standard Chartered Bank were passive
book-runners. Separately, AngloGold Ashanti announced on April 20 that it had
secured a four-year unsecured revolving credit facility of $1 billion from its
banking syndicate.
