Description: AU AngloGold Ashanti December 11, 2025
AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE:AU) is a globally diversified gold miner with operations in Africa, Australia, and the Americas. The company focuses on gold exploration and production, also generating by-products such as silver and sulphuric acid. Its flagship asset is the wholly-owned Geita mine in Tanzania’s Lake Victoria goldfields. Founded in 1944, AngloGold Ashanti is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and trades as a common stock in the U.S. under the GICS sub-industry “Gold.”
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year show production of approximately 2.5 million ounces of gold, a cash cost of about $950 per ounce, and a free cash flow conversion rate near 70 %. The firm’s earnings are highly sensitive to the spot gold price, which has been buoyed by elevated inflation expectations and central-bank net purchases exceeding 600 tons in 2023. Additionally, geopolitical risk in several operating jurisdictions remains a material factor in project timelines and capital allocation decisions.
