2020 – another redefining year for AngloGold Ashanti
We improved the quality of our portfolio, balancing competing capital needs, and delivered the Obuasi redevelopment project on time and within budget, supplemented the Ore Reserve in our core portfolio, further reduced debt and grew our dividend, all while managing our operations through the most challenging year ever – due to COVID-19.
