Description: AU AngloGold Ashanti
AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE:AU) is a publicly traded gold mining company headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, with operations spanning Africa, Australia, and the Americas. Its core activities include gold exploration and production, complemented by by-products such as silver and sulphuric acid. The companys flagship asset is the 100 % owned Geita mine, situated in the Lake Victoria goldfields of north-western Tanzania.
As of its 2023 annual report, AngloGold produced roughly 2.5 million ounces of gold, reporting an all-in sustaining cash cost of about US$950 per ounce-well below the industry average of ~US$1,100. The firm’s earnings are highly sensitive to the global gold price, which has been buoyed by sustained central-bank buying and inflation-hedge demand, driving the sector’s average price to around US$1,950/oz in 2024. However, geopolitical risk in Tanzania and tightening ESG regulations pose material uncertainties that could affect future output and cost structures.
