What Anglogold Ashanti does

Gold miner with operations across Africa, the Americas and Australia, one of the world's largest gold producers.

Sells gold at the market price, so results follow the gold price and its costs per ounce. It sold its last South African mines in 2020, moved its main listing to New York in 2023 and re-domiciled in the UK. Buying Centamin in 2024 added the Sukari mine in Egypt.
