We continued integration of the new Operating Model, the existing Operational Excellence programme, and the FP Programme launched during 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Production for the year rose at Obuasi by 131%, at Iduapriem by 23%, at Siguiri by 8% and at Geita by 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Geita gold production was up year-on-year mainly due to increased ore volumes processed as well as higher recovered grades. Geita recorded strong production, exceeding 500,000oz for 2022. Higher volumes and grades drove performance in the second half of the year. We are reaching the end of the reinvestment programme at the mine and Geita is now back to operating a production rate of above 500,000oz annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second half of 2022, Geita was part of the FP programme designed to enhance understanding of the relative potential of each asset and includes developing a plan and implementation schedule to achieve the targeted performance over the next six to 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Siguiri production increased in the year mainly due to higher recovered grades, partly offset by lower ore volumes processed. Reduced volumes of ore processed were a result of local community protests related to employment demands which led to mining disruptions and the temporary suspension of mining activities for ten days in July 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siguiri was the first of the African operations to be involved in the FP programme with the leadership team focusing on increasing the volume of high-grade oxide ore from Block 2. This increase was successful and is reflected in the year-on-year increase in production. We are starting to see the benefits of the FP programme at Siguiri and a second contractor was hired to deliver higher volumes of higher-grade oxide ore from Block 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Iduapriem, gold production increased year-on-year, due, in the main to the higher ore volumes processed, supported by higher grades recovered as the mine accessed ore from Block 5 and Teberebie Cut 2a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obuasi\u2019s production increased in the year, primarily due to the resumption of stoping activities following the temporary suspension of underground stoping activities in 2021 due to a sill pillar incident in May of that year. In the first months of 2023, we have been mining more than 4,000tpd of gold bearing rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the DRC, Kibali\u2019s production was lower year-on-year mainly due to lower grades. This was partly offset by a marginal increase in ore volumes processed. In the final quarter of 2022 production improved by 17% compared to the third quarter as grades and volumes increased.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Obuasi update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase 3 of the Obuasi redevelopment project remains on track ramping up to the mining of 5,000tpd, and eventually to over 6,000tpd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022 the project achieved the following milestones: hoisting via the KMS rock shaft in November 2022; pumping to drop the water level below 50 level; commissioning of the material handling system from 44 level to surface; completing the new ventilation shaft pilot hole and progressing the KMS shaft down to 44 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ramp-up continues to the planned annual full production run-rate in excess of 400,000oz, which is expected by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-super-light-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-a666d811 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-foreground-color\">Outlook for 2023<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Safely maintain solid performance across the region<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The FP programme \u2013 Siguiri and Geita have completed the programme and are working to their respective FP plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obuasi redevelopment project \u2013 Phase 3 is on track and the next key milestones include completion of the new ore pass, followed by rail construction, and establishing a new pump station on 50 level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group is-alignment-stretch is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e59c8741 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large style-svg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/chart-ir-africa-contribution-regional-production.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10414\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-alignment-stretch is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-81423f52 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-statistic has-naartjie-color has-text-color has-colossal-font-size\">60%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\">Contribution to total production<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-alignment-stretch is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-81423f52 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-statistic has-naartjie-color has-text-color has-colossal-font-size\">$576m<sup style=\"font-size: 2rem\">(1)<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\">Capital expenditure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-15a88ba5 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized style-svg responsive\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/chart-ir-africa-attributable-production.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10445\" width=\"380\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized style-svg responsive\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/chart-ir-africa-trifr.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10434\" width=\"380\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized style-svg responsive\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/chart-ir-africa-productivity.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10449\" width=\"379\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized style-svg responsive\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/chart-ir-africa-cash-aisc.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10454\" width=\"380\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"is-style-notes wp-block-list\">\n<li>World Gold Council Standard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restated IAS 16, \u201cProperty, Plant and Equipment &#8211;
