The Open Pit Mineral Resources have been estimated using the geostatistical technique of Localised Uniform Conditioning (LUC) using average drill hole intercepts. Isatis software was used for the estimation. The Open Pit Mineral Resources have been reported above a marginal (break-even) cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t for oxide and transitional material and 0.4 g/t for fresh material, within a US$1,400 optimisation at an A$/US$exchange rate of 0.82 (A$1,704).
The Havana Deeps Underground Mineral Resource was not re-estimated during 2015. The Mineral Resource was estimated in 2012 using the geostatistical technique of Ordinary Kriging using average drill-hole intercepts. Isatis sofware was used for the estimation. The Havana Deeps Underground Mineral Resource is reported externally to the A$1,704 optimisation, at a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t.
The 2015 Tropicana Gold Project Mineral Resource stands at 6.28Moz, a decrease of 0.9Moz on the previous year. Mineral Resources remain open down-dip for all zones, and to the south of the HavanaZone.
The Ore Reserve has been estimated above the economic break-even cut-off grades presented in the table below. The cut-off grade are calculated at the nominated gold price of US$1,100/oz and an exchange rate of 0.77 US$/A$ which is equivalent to A$1,436/oz, as per the corporate guidelines - Excom economic assumptions proposal V4 Ref[9].
Due to the relative small volumes of some of the material types, forcut-off grade calculation purposes, 2 groups were created, Oxide and Fresh. This also facilitated a practical and ease of operation consideration.

The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources estimates was based on information compiled by Mr Mark Kent, a full-time employee of AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited, who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Kent has sufficient experience relevant to the type and style of mineral deposits under consideration, and to the activity which has been undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the JORC Code. Mr Kent consented to the release of the Mineral Resource estimated, based on the information in the form and context in which it appears in this report.
