DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTORS OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED
                IN TERMS OF THE ANGLOGOLD SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME

In terms of JSE Listings Requirement 3.63 we give notice that the following
director(s) have exercised share options, after having received clearance to do
so in terms of Listings Requirement 3.66. The options were granted in terms of
the AngloGold Share Incentive Scheme.

In terms of the rules of the AngloGold Share Incentive Scheme, all options which
are not exercised within ten years from the date of grant, automatically lapse.
In 1996, Mr R M Godsell was awarded options which will lapse during the period
March to September 2006, unless exercised. Mr Godsell has elected to exercise
his rights in terms of the options granted during March and April 1996, and to
use the after tax proceeds to purchase AngloGold Ashanti shares in his own name.
This has resulted in the following ordinary shares of the company having been
allotted and traded on the JSE and acquired by Mr Godsell:
