Strategy

Prioritise people, safety, health and sustainability

This focus area is the foundation of our business and strategy, ensuring alignment between our values and corporate citizenship responsibilities on the one hand and the business’s long-term growth, sustainability and profitability on the other.

Maintain financial flexibility

By ensuring financial flexibility, we will facilitate access to funding to weather periods of low gold prices, to reward shareholders and to act on strategic opportunities throughout the economic cycle.

Optimise overhead, costs and capital expenditure

Systems are in place to ensure investment and spending are optimally structured and aligned with core business objectives. In so doing, we aim to maximise our margins throughout the gold-price cycle, withstanding and even flourishing during periods of low gold prices and continuing to invest in the sustainability of our business without unnecessarily relying on dilutive equity raising

Improve portfolio quality

We actively manage our asset portfolio to improve the overall mix of our production base as we strive for a competitive business valuation. This is key to unlocking the full underlying value of the portfolio. We continue to invest in upgrading the overall quality and longevity of our portfolio.

Maintain long-term optionality

We aim to continually replenish and increase our Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve pipeline to sustain the business over time. Key to achieving this are our exploration activities, project development and targeted acquisitions. By discovering, acquiring, developing and exploiting viable orebodies sustainably and cost efficiently, AngloGold Ashanti positions itself to create long-term value.
