Key drivers of our business

The economic success of AngloGold Ashanti is determined by a number of key drivers:

  • The amount of gold that is produced.
  • The price that is achieved in the marketplace for our gold.
  • The costs we incur through the purchase of goods and services, as well as through the payment of taxes and royalties, in producing gold and in managing the company.
  • The expenses we incur in terms of capital development and exploration to identify and develop new ounces of gold for mining in the future.
