Major gold producer AngloGold Ashanti expects half-year basic earnings to fall between 82% and 92% AngloGoldAshanti

- AngloGold Ashanti , one of the world’s largest gold producers, reported Tuesday that its gold production in H1 2023 is expected to be 1.236Moz, marginally higher compared to 1.233Moz in H1 2022.

Importantly, AngloGold added that basic earnings are expected to be between $25 million and $54 million in H1 2023, resulting in basic earnings per share between 6 US cents and 13 US cents, a decrease of between 82% to 92% from the comparative period. The company explained that the expected decrease in basic earnings for the period versus the comparative period is the result of non-cash impairments and derecognitions at its Brazilian operations.

AngloGold said that both basic earnings and headline earnings were further impacted by higher non-cash environmental provisions for legacy TSFs following implementation of new legislation in Brazil, as well as the effect of continued industry-wide inflation.
