ANGLOGOLD ASSIGNED FITCH SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM RATINGS
Fitch Ratings, the international rating agency, announced today that it has
assigned AngloGold a National Short-term rating of F1+ (zaf) and a Long-term
rating of AA (zaf).
AngloGold intends to approach the South African corporate bond market shortly
in order to part-fund its South African mine expansion programme. This
programme includes the recently approved R1.2 billion expansion of TauTona near
Carletonville, which will add some 1.8 million ounces to the mine's gold
production over the next ten years and several other South African projects of
a similar nature planned over the next three years.
Deutsche Bank and Standard Corporate and Merchant Bank have been appointed as
arrangers for this debut bond issue.
Further details will be released at a later date.
