AngloGold Ashanti is a global gold mining company engaged in the exploration, development, production, processing and sale of gold. Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, the company’s core activities span the full mining value chain from greenfield exploration and mine development through to ore processing and rehabilitation. Gold is the primary commodity produced, with individual operations sometimes yielding other by‑products depending on local geology and processing methods.
The company was formed in 2004 through the merger of AngloGold and Ashanti Goldfields, creating a diversified international gold producer. AngloGold Ashanti operates a portfolio of operating mines, development projects and exploration properties across multiple regions, with a significant presence in Africa and the Americas. Its asset mix combines long‑life mines and shorter‑term projects and exploration targets intended to support production and reserve replacement over time.
AngloGold Ashanti’s corporate activities include mine planning, ore extraction and processing, as well as environmental management, closure planning and community engagement at its host sites. The company focuses on operational efficiency, health and safety performance, and sustaining its resource base through exploration and project development. It is listed on multiple exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AU, and continues to manage a geographically diverse portfolio of gold assets.
