Notes:

1.

For the Open Pit Mineral Resource estimate, mineralisation in the Havana, Havana South, Tropicana and Boston Shaker areas was calculated

within a US$1,550/oz pit optimisation at an AUD:USD exchange rate of $1.03 ($1,500/oz).

2.

The Open Pit Mineral Resources have been estimated using the geostatistical technique of Uniform Conditioning, using a cut-off grade of

0.3g/t Au for all material types.

3.

The Havana Deeps Underground Mineral Resource estimate has been reported outside the US$1,550/oz pit optimisation at a cut-off grade of

2.0g/t Au, which was calculated using a gold price of US$1,600/oz (AUD:USD 1.02) ($1,566/oz).

4.

The Havana Deeps Underground Mineral Resource was estimated using the geostatistical technique of Ordinary Kriging using average drill

hole intercepts.

5.

The Mineral Resource is estimated from the 2012 Mineral Resource model and stockpile volumes at 30 June 2015. Mining as at 30 June 2015

has been removed from the 2015 Resource estimate.

6.

Resources are inclusive of Reserves.

Notes:

1.

The Proved and Probable Ore Reserve (30 June 2015) is reported above economic break-even gold cut-off grades for each material type at

nominated gold price US$1,100/oz and exchange rate 0.87 AUD:USD (equivalent to $1,261/oz Au).

2.

The 30 June 2015 Reserve estimate is updated using the end of June 2015 surveyed surface topography and end of June 2015 stockpile

balances. The final pit designs, cut-off grades and the Resource model used are unchanged from the December 2014 estimate reported by

AngloGold Ashanti (ASX:AGG) on their website (2014 Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Report). The cut-off grades reported were 0.5g/t Au

for oxide material and 0.7g/t Au for transitional and fresh material.
