AngloGold Ashanti strives to actively create value by growing its major assets. This drive is based on active, well-defined brownfields exploration, advanced project development, innovation in both geological modelling and mine planning, and continual optimisation of the portfolio. Ensuring a viable Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve pipeline enables delivery of sustained value-adding growth in the long term.

Gold
Mineral Resource
Our gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource increased from 67.1Moz at 31 December 2024 to 68.0Moz at 31 December 2025. Additions included 1.3Moz from the acquisition of the Reward and Bullfrog assets from Augusta Gold, exploration and modelling changes of 1.0Moz and economic assumptions of 0.4Moz. The additions were partially offset by reductions which included the disposal of the Doropo, ABC and Serra Grande assets (1.7Moz) and other factors (0.1Moz). As a result, the net year-on-year gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource addition was 0.9Moz.
Our gold Inferred Mineral Resource decreased from 55.0Moz at 31 December 2024 to 49.3Moz at 31 December 2025. Additions included exploration and modelling changes of 3.4Moz (excluding the Arthur Gold Project), 0.3Moz from the acquisition of the Reward and Bullfrog assets from Augusta Gold, and other factors of 0.2Moz. These additions were fully offset by exploration and modelling reductions of 5.8Moz at the Arthur Gold Project due to the development of a new Mineral Reserve, the disposal of the Doropo, ABC and Serra Grande assets of 3.3Moz and economic assumptions of 0.5Moz. As a result, the net year-on-year gold Inferred Mineral Resource reduction was 5.7Moz.
On 7 March 2026, AngloGold Ashanti entered into a definitive agreement to sell AngloGold Ashanti Colombia S.A.S., which owns the La Colosa project, to Mineros S.A. At 31 December 2025, the Gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource at La Colosa amounted to 23.35Moz and the gold Inferred Mineral Resource at La Colosa amounted to 4.98Moz.
The gold Mineral Resource at 31 December 2025 was estimated at a gold price of $2,000/oz, unless otherwise stated (2024: $1,900/oz).

| Notable changes | Due to: | ||
| Arthur Gold Project | The addition in Indicated was due to a successful exploration infill drilling campaign at Merlin which supported an increase in confidence in the Mineral Resource. The addition was offset by the declaration of a first-time Mineral Reserve which led to an overall reduction in the Inferred Mineral Resource. | 1.0 | (6.6) |
| Iduapriem | The addition was due to moderate gains from exploration drilling, an increase in gold price as well as methodology changes to the plant constraint for reasonable prospects, offset partially by costs. | 0.5 | 1.2 |
| AGA Mineração | The addition was due to exploration drilling at both Cuiabá and Lamego, modelling at Lamego and an increase in gold price. | 1.0 | 0.4 |
| Geita | The addition was due to ongoing exploration drilling success and modelling changes mainly in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource, an increase in gold price, offset partially by cost. | 1.0 | 0.0 |

Mineral Reserve
Our gold Mineral Reserve increased from 31.2Moz at 31 December 2024 to 36.5Moz at 31 December 2025. Additions consisted of exploration and modelling changes of 7.3Moz, including the first-time reporting of the Arthur Gold Project Mineral Reserve of 4.9Moz, the acquisition of the Reward asset from Augusta Gold of 0.4Moz, economic assumptions of 2.1Moz and other factors of 0.2Moz. The additions were partially offset by reductions that included depletion of 2.7Moz and disposals of the Doropo and Serra Grande assets of 2.0Moz. As a result, the net year-on-year gold Mineral Reserve addition was 5.3Moz.
The gold Mineral Reserve at 31 December 2025 was estimated using a gold price of $1,700/oz, unless otherwise stated (2024: $1,600/oz).
