ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI: MORE CERTAINTY RESTORES FY GOLD GUIDANCE

 

Johannesburg, Sep 21

Six months after COVID-19 disruptions drove it to withdraw its FY2020 gold production guidance, AngloGold Ashanti says improved operating certainty and near-completion of the sale of its South African assets have enabled it to announce new targets for the year.
Interim CEO Christine Ramon says the return of guidance reflects the company’s greater certainty following the success of its operators to limit the pandemic’s impact on production and costs while prioritising the health of employees and host communities.
Its updated group guidance, including the contribution from its South African assets to end-Sept, predicts output of 3.03-3.1Moz at AISC of $US1,060-1,120/oz.
