This compared to 663kt of ore and 765kt of concentrate in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FAP initiatives related to improving underground development and truck payload availability contributed to a significant increase in tonnes mined at Cuiab\u00e1 and Lamego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focused exploration on Viana, VQZ and the main orebodies continued during 2025 with the aim of doubling the Mineral Reserve by 2028. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All TSF structures are fully compliant with applicable legal requirements and have been certified by external consultants and validated by Brazil\u2019s National Mining Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 11% increase in total cash cost<sup>APM<\/sup> \u2028in 2025 reflected a combination of macro-economic factors and operational drivers. Volume-related increases in underground mining costs and increases in maintenance costs were partially offset by a weaker Brazilian real relative to the US dollar and increased by-product revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Priorities 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At <strong>Cerro Vanguardia<\/strong>, exploration of the Michelle property will continue to assess potential to extend mine life beyond 2030.

Mine plans will be optimised so as to unlock ~1.9Mtpa of ore from Cuiab\u00e1 and Lamego, while work will continue on underground mining productivity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nevada projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, the North Bullfrog project and the Arthur Gold Project are being advanced in southern Nevada, near the town of Beatty. These greenfield projects are collectively referred to as the Nevada projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October 2025, AngloGold Ashanti completed the acquisition of Augusta Gold, further consolidating its landholding within the district, and unlocking synergies across permitting, infrastructure and development sequencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nevada projects area has a total gold Mineral Reserve of 6.4Moz, Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 6.1Moz and Inferred Mineral Resource of 9.6Moz.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f4f8ecb6b7596db6a1d637a7e885ec70\">North Bullfrog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Bullfrog is expected to be the first of AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s projects to enter gold production in Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following completion of a feasibility study, the project advanced into the detailed engineering phase in November 2024, which was approximately 70% complete at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Bullfrog is currently expected to produce an average of 105,000oz of gold annually during the first five years of operation, and an average of 76,000oz annually at an AISC of $934\/oz over its anticipated 11-year mine life. Project capital (real terms) is expected to be $480m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Permitting activities are well underway. In response to public feedback the project team has developed a plan to significantly reduce water usage, supporting the permitting process and reinforcing the company\u2019s commitment to responsible environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A final investment decision is anticipated in the second half of 2026 and, subject to permitting, construction is scheduled to start in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to establishing a new production base, North Bullfrog is expected to play a significant role in building a dedicated project development team and enhancing understanding of permitting and construction processes in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ebae03f77aec0a7cc15168d174791471\">Arthur Gold Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously known as Expanded Silicon, the Arthur Gold Project comprises the Silicon and Merlin deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the completion of the pre-feasibility study (PFS) at year end, an initial Probable Mineral Reserve of 4.9Moz of contained gold (88Mt at 1.75 g\/t) and 7.8Moz of contained silver (88Mt at 2.76g\/t) was reported as at 31 December 2025 for the Arthur Gold Project. This supports an initial nine-year mine life with an estimated average annual production of approximately 500,000oz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project capital expenditure (real terms) is forecast at $3.6bn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Arthur Gold Project is anticipated to have a structurally competitive cost profile, with an AISC<sup>APM<\/sup> per ounce estimated at $954\/oz (real terms). More than 95% of the mineralisation is hosted in oxide material, making it amenable to bulk mining methods and conventional processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is anticipated that mining will employ conventional open-pit methods with electric rope shovels and ultra-class haul trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The width of the ore zones and simple pit geometry should allow for wide mining benches and efficient, straightforward mining layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pit phasing is designed to target higher-value, near-surface material early in the mine life to accelerate payback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development plan envisions an integrated operation comprising a 7Mtpa carbon-in-leach processing facility and a 5.5Mtpa crushed heap-leach circuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To promote environmental stewardship, the Arthur Gold Project is planned to use filtered, dry-stacked tailings for enhanced water conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the Mineral Reserve, the Merlin deposit hosts a gold Indicated Mineral Resource of 1.0Moz and a gold Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.5Moz as at 31 December 2025. Merlin also has a silver Indicated Mineral Resource of 2.0Moz and a silver Inferred Mineral Resource of 13.7Moz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arthur is a large-scale, continuous gold system with broadly disseminated mineralisation and high-grade vein systems with thicknesses reaching about 150m. The mineralised footprint is extensive, measuring approximately 2.7km by 1.3km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3ae23c49fb4ba56c66dd0617586afe0c\">Arthur Gold Project PFS \u2013 summary of key metrics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Initial Mineral Reserve @ $1,950\/oz<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">88Mt @ 1.75g\/t for 4.9Moz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gold produced<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">c. 4.5Moz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ore tonnes<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">c. 12.75Mtpa<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Initial life of mine<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">c. 9 years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Average annual production<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">c. 500,000oz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>LOM total cash cost<sup>APM<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">c. $778\/oz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>LOM AISC<sup>APM<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">c. $954\/oz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Project capital expenditure*<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">c. $3.6bn<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>The Pre-Feasibility Technical Report Summary for the Arthur Gold Project (PFS) has been filed as an exhibit to the Company\u2019s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, filed with the SEC.

Along with the\nreduced period of gold production, recovered grade was 21% lower at 1.89g\/t compared with 2.39g\/t in 2024, in line with the mine plan. The\nSerra Grande processing plant treated 874,000t in 2025, 16% lower than the previous year due to the impact of the sale to Aura and ore\navailability from the mine. The total cash costAPM was $2,165\/oz (2024: $1,411\/oz), reflecting lower gold production and higher end-of-life\nfleet maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-79cfc9e006d322e73bfa7137f9b33ba9\">Quebradona<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June 2025, the Colombian government issued Resolution No. 855 of 2025, declaring a temporary renewable natural resources reserve zone (which is a form of environmental protected area) over multiple municipalities in the southwest of the Department of Antioquia, including the area in which the Quebradona project is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resolution No. 855 restricts mining activities for three years (extendable for a further two years) while authorities may conduct technical studies regarding the conservation value of the area and subsequently determine whether to convert the area to a permanent protected area or to withdraw the temporary designation. No new environmental permits or licences may be issued as long as Resolution No. 855 is in force, though it expressly provides that existing concessions, permits and licences must be respected. In light of the impact of Resolution No. 855 on the Quebradona project, in December 2025, AngloGold Ashanti lodged an annulment and redress claim against Resolution No. 855 before the Colombian courts, which is currently pending the Court\u2019s admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An indicator of impairment was identified for the Quebradona project.
