Corporate profile

Our history
AngloGold Limited was founded in June 1998 with the consolidation of the gold mining interests of Anglo American.
In August 1998, AngloGold became the first South African company to list on the NYSE.
The company, AngloGold Ashanti as it is now, was formed in April 2004 following the business combination of AngloGold Limited (AngloGold) with Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited (Ashanti). Anglo American started reducing its stake in AngloGold Ashanti in April 2006 via equity placement. Thereafter, Anglo American continued to implement small sales of its remaining interest in AngloGold Ashanti via the market and in March 2009, sold its remaining interest.
Today, AngloGold Ashanti is one of the largest gold mining companies in the world. It remains an independent gold producer, with no dominant investor and a diverse spread of shareholders that includes the world’s largest financial institutions.
