ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI RESUMES EXPORTS OF GOLD FROM SIGUIRI

Following good progress in discussions with the Government of Guinea in recent
weeks, a temporary embargo on the export of gold was lifted at the end of June,
allowing a month's worth of production to be shipped from the country during
the first week of July. Production at the Siguiri mine was uninterrupted
during the period of the imposed gold export embargo.

The ongoing talks with the Government of Guinea centre on the nature and
protocols of an environmental fund related to AngloGold Ashanti's existing
US$35 million provision for environmental rehabilitation of the Siguiri mine.
The Company has agreed to the advanced payment of US$10 million to the
Government of its existing provision, subject to an undertaking from the
Government that the funds be used solely for the environmental rehabilitation
of the Siguiri mine and that the payment be offset against the balance of
AngloGold Ashanti's future environmental liabilities.

Siguiri produced 333,000 ounces of gold in the course of 2008 and 88,000 ounces
in the first quarter of 2009, approximately 7% of group production. The
Government of Guinea is a 15% shareholder in the operation.
