We have robust and mature health and safety risk management practices and critical control monitoring systems to help ensure that we quantify and manage impacts and continuously adapt and improve our safety and health strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4b17ed8aec348b41fc9080d44b06a091\">Building maturity in our safety performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s strategy for managing workplace incidents is anchored by a two-pronged approach that recognises the fundamentally distinct origins and mitigation requirements for workplace accidents: <strong>Organisational accidents<\/strong> and <strong>Individual accidents<\/strong>. For each of these, we require different mitigation strategies, governance oversight, and performance indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Individual accidents<\/strong> are high-frequency, low-consequence events that are driven primarily by human behaviour, error, and localised physical conditions. While individually less severe, their collective influence is critical, impacting safety culture, employee morale, and overall injury rates. They also serve as vital leading indicators of underlying organisational risk. They require robust supervision, consistent discipline, targeted training and good frontline engagement. AngloGold Ashanti is managing individual-type incidents through physical workplace condition monitoring, behaviour interventions and awareness campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Organisational accidents<\/strong> are low-frequency but high-impact events \u2013 catastrophic failures that can severely harm people, destroy assets, and damage reputation. They stem from systemic weaknesses across leadership, strategic resource allocation, design quality, engineering, and organisational culture. Organisational-type incidents require governance-level attention due to their origins in core strategic and systemic risks, and necessitate high maturity in risk management and clear leadership standards. AngloGold Ashanti is managing these types of incidents through the Fatal Hazard Management Programme. Our focus during 2025 has centred on strengthening controls and enhancing the safety culture as supported by our leadership. We introduced the Critical Risk Management process to move from high-level management to verifying and sustaining critical controls at the frontline workplace level. This ensures the supporting systems necessary for control integrity remain in place. As part of the Critical Risk Management process, we have initiated a global CRM training rollout that enhances the capabilities of frontline supervisors, as well as the supporting systems that maintain the effectiveness of critical controls. Furthermore, we have significantly improved the culture of reporting and internal dissemination of lessons learned, particularly from Potential Fatal Incidents (PFI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2025 actions of the updated 2024\u20132026 health and safety strategy were identified, communicated to all stakeholders, and implemented during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Company mourns the loss of life of Jose Henrique de Oliveira Barros, a contractor, which occurred as the result of a non-reportable (commuting) accident on a public road, close to the Corrego do Sitio tailings dam construction project on 6 February 2025. We have investigated this incident with the same depth as a reportable fatality. The investigation has been completed, and the lessons learned have been shared throughout the Company, including recommendations to prevent a recurrence. Additionally, we have liaised with the local government on lessons learned and potential actions to improve road conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) at the Company\u2019s managed operations improved from 0.98 injuries per million hours worked in 2024 to 0.97 injuries per million hours worked in 2025, the lowest level in AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s history and well below the member average of the ICMM of 2.29 injuries per million hours worked in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-teal-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-e1b854d6397dfad42a6dfe50ee46e472\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Two pronged approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-207754ca wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-glassmorphic bg-position-bottom-right has-light-silver-gray-background-color has-background is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-78d92ca0 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);background-image:url(&apos;https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/icon-bg-individual-accidents.svg&apos;);background-size:cover;\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/icon-individual-accidents.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2811\" style=\"width:130px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-19c52ae6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-831b2db5 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual accidents<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More frequent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low consequence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fewer defences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited causes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-glassmorphic bg-position-bottom-right has-light-silver-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-22e1c221 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);background-image:url(&apos;https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/icon-bg-organisational-accidents.svg&apos;);background-size:cover;\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reports.anglogoldashanti.com\/25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/icon-organisational-accidents.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2812\" style=\"width:140px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-65334583 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-831b2db5 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organisational accidents<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Less frequent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High consequence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many defences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple causes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>System failure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Critical risk management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, to further enhance our operational resilience and safety culture, AngloGold Ashanti launched the Critical Risk Management (CRM) process. CRM has been successfully rolled out, with the final deployment at Sukari scheduled to be completed by the end of Q1 2026. Training was well received across operations, with feedback emphasising its practical relevance and measurable learning impact. To further raise awareness and promote safety, a podcast series, \u201cWhat\u2019s Happening in Safety,\u201d went live, along with a regular health and safety newsletter that showcases initiatives, celebrations, and leading practices across operations. These new formats of communication have been well received and will be extended to the health function in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To further prioritise our focus on the elimination of Potential Fatal Incidents, an initiative was launched to update terminology across all operations, from \u2018High Potential Incidents\u2019 to \u2018Potential Fatal Incidents\u2019 (PFIs) and \u2018Major Hazards\u2019 to \u2018Fatal Hazards\u2019, sharpening our focus on fatality prevention through targeted communication. Special attention was given to analysing repeat-PFIs or similar types of PFIs to identify and rectify fundamental breakdowns in communication and the implementation of corrective actions. In 2025, we experienced repeat PFI events involving mobile equipment interacting with overhead power lines across the Group. A Company-wide initiative was subsequently launched to mitigate these incidents. To that extent, AngloGold Ashanti has remained fatality-free since May 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9f666781cbc4d79bc7ef6108b4214206\">Virtual reality training pilot at Cuiab\u00e1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We successfully completed the development and implementation of selected virtual reality (VR) training simulations in 2025 for key fatal hazards, specifically focusing on mobile equipment interaction and the controlled release of stored energy. This initiative represents an industry-leading advancement that delivers an immersive, hands-on training experience demonstrably superior to conventional classroom or video methods. The simulations were deployed in a pilot implementation study at the Cuiab\u00e1 site. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, validating the training&#8217;s effectiveness in increasing hazard recognition and procedural adherence. VR training directly addresses the organisational risk of individual accidents by enhancing employee competency and reducing human error in high-risk scenarios. The successful pilot has also identified additional strategic applications for the foundational VR infrastructure, positioning AngloGold Ashanti to capitalise further on this advanced training technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-116fe03f5d5eca7628f00d4a57746c47\">Health and Safety software solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To enhance our systemic risk management and drive efficiency, we are deploying two new strategic health and safety software solutions. This investment is designed to streamline our health and safety processes and ensure a higher quality of actionable output from our compliance and incident reporting functions. Firstly, to manage the controls of organisational accidents, we have deployed the Forwood Safety software solution. This software not only enhances our critical control verification (CCV) efforts but also provides bow-tie assessment functionality to visually define, verify, and communicate the integrity of barriers that prevent catastrophic incidents. The second software solution, Evotix 360, will be utilised to proactively address the &#8216;Individual Accidents&#8217; pathway by systematically focusing on human behaviour in the workplace, and simplify the reporting of incidents, near-misses, and hazards in real time. The Evotix solution was successfully piloted at Sukari in December 2025, and deployment to all other operations is scheduled to occur during Q1 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2026, we will convene a triennial Health and Safety Strategy Session with operational leaders to define the risk mitigation roadmap for FY27\u2013FY29 and ensure the sustained positive trajectory of our safety performance. Key operational priorities for 2026 include finalising the rollout of CRM, enhancing the quality and fidelity of critical control verification, and completing the deployment of the Evotix platform, including the implementation of its robust reporting and performance dashboard suite to drive data-driven accountability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

We aim to eliminate health hazards that are potentially fatal, carcinogenic, or severely debilitating in the short or long term. We continue to adopt a proactive approach to preventing occupational diseases and managing health risks from both workplace and community exposures. Our efforts focus on eliminating harmful exposures where practicable, optimising fitness for work and wellbeing, and anticipating potential community health impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our occupational hygiene data shows continued improvement in managing workplace exposures. Since the rollout of a systematic silica dust control strategy in 2022, silica exposure above the allowable limit (0.05 mg\/m\u00b3) has declined by half compared to the 2022 baseline number of people exposed to high levels of silica dust. These results reflect sustained implementation of engineering controls, some of which require long-term capital investments that are being considered by operations. Baseline occupational hygiene risk assessments have been completed at all sites except Sukari, where work is underway. These assessments inform site risk registers, critical control priorities, and targeted monitoring. All operations\u2019 occupational hygiene monitoring for noise and airborne pollutants are on schedule as planned, demonstrating a proactive approach to hazard prevention and continuous improvement. All operations continue to prioritise higher-order engineering controls to minimise airborne pollutant and noise risks; with all operations embarking on various specific projects to target elimination at high levels of exposures to these carcinogenic and debilitating hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overall health risk scorecard remains stable as we manage a wide range of occupational and non-occupational risks across the globe. Focus areas include strengthening food safety management, fatigue prevention, and thermal and tropical disease response amid changing climatic conditions. A Fatigue Management Committee has been established to standardise fatigue risk processes across operations. Food safety systems have been enhanced through new standard operating procedures, guidelines, and self-assessment tools, ensuring consistent oversight of site and contractor food services. In Australia, the health team introduced the mandatory use of specialised personal protective equipment (PPE) \u2013 Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPR) \u2013 for all welding activities and is extending controls to soldering and brazing fumes. Verification of dust suppression and extraction system effectiveness is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new Power BI-based occupational medical reporting system has been deployed to enhance data analysis and performance monitoring across all sites, in line with our internal and external risk management and reporting requirements. In parallel, the Group is transitioning to an updated incident management system for health and safety, following the phase-out of iSIMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, one case of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) was reported at CVSA, bringing the All-Occupational Disease Frequency Rate (AODFR) to 0.01 cases per million hours worked, compared to 0.06 during the same period in Over the past five years (2021\u20132025), 21 occupational diseases have been recorded across the business. Of these, 52% (11 cases) were NIHL, 24% (5 cases) were compensable musculoskeletal disorders, and 19% (4 cases) were silicosis and other occupational lung diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key challenges remain, particularly the shortage of skilled in-country occupational hygiene professionals and limited medical emergency response capacity in some regions. To address this, a training and development framework has been drafted for occupational hygiene personnel, and 48 healthcare workers at Obuasi completed Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) training to enhance women\u2019s health outcomes. Another challenge faced by the African BU is the limited in-country capacity to calibrate some of our occupational hygiene equipment as well as timely analysis of occupational hygiene monitoring samples. To improve this, Siguiri is installing an on-site gas monitor calibration facility, while Iduapriem is building a new occupational hygiene laboratory, modelled on Obuasi\u2019s facility. Similar investments are planned at Geita and Siguiri in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-416c5203b7ca92ac18360e04c357151b\">Risk management<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Group Standard for Major Health Hazard Management, approved in 2024, is currently being implemented to drive systematic engineering controls for health hazards and reduce reliance on PPE. CCV checklists for key hazards \u2013 such as silica dust, diesel particulate matter, welding fumes, and noise \u2013 have been successfully integrated into routine health and safety processes and embedded within operational targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Performance has shown strong improvement: by year end, compliance with fatal health hazard CCVs reached 97.6% (88.6%: FY24). Engagement and participation continue to increase as the programme matures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have successfully transitioned health CCVs to the CRM \u2013 Forwood system, which will also enable the inclusion of additional fatal health hazards such as heat stress, malaria, chemical exposure, and psychological impacts. Ongoing training for supervisors and managers continues to strengthen their technical capability and competence in conducting these verification assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6f2c4039a210111ae41995630963acf7\">Mental health and wellbeing: Prevent, Promote, Respond<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our healthcare strategy provides access to appropriate medical services through both in-house and outsourced models, depending on local healthcare capacity. During 2025, approximately 41,000 workers were active \u2013 35% employees and 65% contractors \u2013 highlighting the importance of extending health and wellbeing programmes to the contractor workforce. Over 30,000 occupational medical examinations were completed in FY25, with only 0.3% of workers declared unfit for duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">80% of ill-health absenteeism is attributable to non-work related illnesses. Lifestyle-related diseases, musculoskeletal, and psychological conditions \u2013 remain major contributors to absenteeism. In response to rising musculoskeletal diseases, all sites are conducting ergonomic risk assessments, workforce training, awareness sessions and strengthening musculoskeletal and injury management programmes to facilitate post-injury rehabilitation and support early recovery and safe return to work. We continue to strengthen implementation of mental wellbeing programmes through an integrated approach to prevent and respond to psychological challenges within a systematic strategic framework anchored in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strengthening systematic governance frameworks for psychological wellbeing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building capacity and skills for leaders to prevent, identify and respond effectively<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing information, education, and awareness programmes to increase knowledge, build resilience and coping skills, as well as reduce stigma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modelling and promoting behaviours aligned with AngloGold Ashanti values, policies and standards<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental wellbeing steering committees are now active across all operations, and specific initiatives are being rolled out at operations and business units to strengthen psychological safety and risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees, contractors, and dependents have access to Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) and clinical services. Africa BU operations host monthly visits from clinical psychologists, while Sukari employs a sessional psychiatrist to support its mental health programme. Psychological fitness-for-work screening using the DAS-21 tool is being introduced to support early identification and management of mental health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9fc066c6fbab3914f59b38021c66f1da\">Governance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implementation of the Health, Hygiene, and Wellbeing Standard continues, supported by technical reviews and assurance visits to operations. All our operations maintained validity of their ISO 45001 certification in 2025. The integration of Sukari\u2019s health team and processes into the overall health management systems is progressing. The updated Health, Hygiene and Wellbeing Standard outlines key strategic requirements that include establishment of workplace and community health baselines and associated risk mitigation\/critical control programmes, while ensuring adequate medical emergency preparedness and response for all sites. The standard also outlines fitness for work and periodic medical surveillance system requirements to detect early onset of occupational diseases and effect remediation thereof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further efforts to strengthen our healthcare services include the 2025 approval and sign-off of an additional Group Health Standard that is focused on governing and optimising access to good medical emergency preparedness and response systems across our operations. In Australia, teams are ensuring compliance with new Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023 requirements, which came into effect from July 2024, with a particular focus on managing psychosocial hazards. The AngloGold Ashanti Australia (AGAA) Regional Incident Reporting procedure has been updated to align with the new regulator mental health and psychosocial incident notification, reporting and investigation requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fc00258010106eb670fdfbbb287f824e\">Public health strategy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malaria continues to present a significant health risk at our African operations. An integrated malaria control approach was implemented, which includes vector control through Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) and insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs); targeted information, education, and communication (IEC); early diagnosis and treatment; as well as robust surveillance, monitoring and evaluation programmes. During 2025, 1,670 malaria cases were recorded, equating to a frequency rate of 27 cases per million hours worked, slightly lower than the 33 cases per million hours worked during the same period in 2024. Siguiri accounted for over 70% of total cases, with a 6.5% site incidence rate, compared to less than 1% at Geita and Obuasi. Enhanced interventions are underway at Siguiri through collaboration with the Obuasi malaria control team and the Guinean National Malaria Control Programme (PNLP). The plan is to replicate the model used, as well as lessons learnt, from the Obuasi programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AGA\u2013Obuasi\u2013Global Fund\u2013Ghana Health Services partnership continued to deliver results, supporting 16 high-burden districts and all 45 national prisons in Ghana, covering more than 100 000 households and protecting over one million people against malaria across these areas. Efforts are ongoing with government and Global Fund officials to ensure programme continuity following some uncertainty resulting from the withdrawal of certain USAID funds aimed at control of TB, Malaria and HIV in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In collaboration with the Siguiri Prefectural Health Department, Siguiri continued to conduct mobile outreach clinics in surrounding communities. Similarly, Iduapriem and Obuasi completed their quarterly outreach clinics in partnership with the local Municipal Health authorities.
