AngloGold going forward six objectives
  • 1. To drive the company down the cost curve
    through workplace restructuring, literacy
    training and productivity improvements.
  • 2. To add value through organic growth via the
    completion of five major capital projects in SA,
    Australia and the US and, if feasible, two
    additional projects in Brazil and Western
    Australia.
  • 3. To continue to increase ore reserves through
    brownfields exploration programs around existing
    operations.
  • 4. To find up to 13 million new production ounces
    by 2015 through greenfields exploration.
  • 5. To continue AngloGolds disciplined
    acquisition strategy, which has so far delivered
    2.3 million low-cost ounces.
  • 6. To continue the companys program of
    downstream investment and the promotion of our
