AngloGold Ashanti plc (“AngloGold Ashanti”, “AGA”, the “Company” or the “Group”) posted record free cash flow* of $1.2bn in Q1 2026, almost triple the Q1 2025 amount, following steady performances from most of its operating assets and the continued high gold price. The Company remains on track to meet its 2026 annual guidance.

An interim dividend for Q1 2026 was declared of $585m, or 116 US cents per share, a new record, compared to 12.5 US cents per share declared in Q1 2025. On 7 May 2026, the Board of Directors approved a proposed share repurchase programme for AngloGold Ashanti’s ordinary shares of up to $2.0bn, subject to shareholder approval.
“Our focus remains to control what we can control – managing underlying costs and ensuring safe, predictable operating results,” said CEO Alberto Calderon. “That has again enabled us to deliver record free cash flow* and cash returns to our shareholders, while moving our organic growth projects forward.”
AngloGold Ashanti continues to focus on a series of key strategic initiatives: delivery of predictable operating results; providing competitive returns to shareholders; bringing a large, new production centre into operation in southern Nevada; the steady ramp-up of its Obuasi mine in Ghana; and realising a series of organic growth projects at its mines in Tanzania, Guinea, Egypt and Brazil.
Safety performance and workplace fatality
At Obuasi, following the end of Q1 2026 on 24 April 2026, a contractor was fatally injured following a release of waste material from an underground ore pass. A comprehensive investigation into the incident is underway, with the express aim of ensuring that similar incidents do not occur in the future. The family and colleagues affected by this tragedy are receiving ongoing support.
“We are heartbroken by the loss of our colleague and offer our deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones,” said CEO Alberto Calderon. “Safety has always been our first and highest priority and we will ensure we understand the root cause of this incident and apply every lesson learned.”
During Q1 2026, safety remained at the core of continuous improvement efforts. The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) at the Company’s managed operations(1) improved to 0.86 injuries per million hours worked in Q1 2026, compared to 0.97 injuries per million hours worked for 2025. While these injury rates remained well below industry averages, the incident at Obuasi underscored the importance of continued vigilance in the face of workplace hazards.
Cash flow supports leading capital allocation
Free cash flow*, the strongest for a single quarter, represented a 190% increase year-on-year to $1.2bn in Q1 2026 from $403m in Q1 2025. Net cash flow from operating activities was up 136% year-on-year to $1.7bn in Q1 2026 (from $725m in Q1 2025). The average gold price received per ounce*(1) in Q1 2026 was 69% higher year-on-year compared to Q1 2025.
EBITDA*(4) increased 130% year-on-year to $2.3bn in Q1 2026 (from $1.0bn in Q1 2025), while headline earnings(3) rose 187% to $1.3bn in Q1 2026, or 252 US cents per share (from $447m, or 88 US cents per share, in Q1 2025).
In line with the Company’s dividend policy, the base dividend of $63m or 12.5 US cents per share was declared for Q1 2026. This was topped up to 50% of free cash flow*, to arrive at the interim dividend declaration of $585m, or 116 US cents per share.
The balance sheet continued to strengthen, swinging from $755m of net debt*(4) in Q1 2025 to $868m of net cash*(4) at the end of Q1 2026, all while making a series of record dividend payments in the intervening quarters.
Capitalising on the robust balance sheet and strong liquidity position, on 16 April 2026, the Company bought back approximately $666m principal amount of its outstanding bonds, further optimising its capital structure and improving its overall flexibility through the cycle.
The strategic decision by the Board to approve a proposed $2bn share repurchase programme is underpinned by stronger cash generation capabilities and the prospective financial outlook for the business. The proposed share repurchase programme is intended to offer another vector for shareholder returns, and align the Company’s capital return framework with its North American peers. The proposed share repurchase programme reflects AngloGold Ashanti’s disciplined approach to capital allocation, utilising excess liquidity to reduce ordinary shares in issue thereby increasing per-share value, earnings and cash flow for its shareholders.
Underlying operational costs down $22/oz, offsetting macro headwinds
External pressures from inflation, exchange rates and royalties led to a year-on-year increase in total cash costs per ounce* for the Group(1) to $1,391/oz in Q1 2026, from $1,223/oz in Q1 2025.
The Company’s continued focus on its Full Asset Potential programme and rigorous cost discipline held total cash costs per ounce* for managed operations(1) at $1,377/oz in Q1 2026. These external pressures included a $117/oz rise in royalties due to record realised gold prices, alongside $43/oz in inflationary impacts, specifically related to higher labour and mining contractor costs, and a $30/oz impact from foreign exchange movements.
Crucially, structural efficiencies delivered through the Full Asset Potential programme reduced underlying, controllable costs by $22/oz in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025. Targeted optimisation of plant throughput (-$103/oz), improved open pit volume efficiencies (-$15/oz), and by-product credits (-$64/oz) successfully absorbed residual operating pressures.
This disciplined cost management ensured the higher gold price was translated into expanded margins, with the total cash cost margin* for the Group(1) increasing from 57% in Q1 2025 to 71% in Q1 2026.
Momentum continued at managed operations(1)
Gold production for the Group(1)(2) remained stable, increasing to 724,000oz in Q1 2026, up from 720,000oz (or 710,000oz excluding Serra Grande) in Q1 2025. The result was driven by a solid performance from most managed operations(1)(2), partially offset by lower gold production at Kibali. At managed operations(1)(2), gold production rose 1% year-on-year to 666,000oz in Q1 2026, while total cash costs per ounce* and all-in sustaining costs per ounce* (“AISC”) increased by 14% and 19% year-on-year in Q1 2026 to $1,377/oz and $1,980/oz, respectively, compared to Q1 2025. Meanwhile non-managed joint ventures experienced an 8% year-on-year reduction in gold production to 58,000oz in Q1 2026.
Year-on-year gold production improvements totalling 9koz (or 19koz excluding Serra Grande) were achieved for managed operations(1)(2) in Q1 2026, with higher gold production at Geita (+12koz), Cuiabá (+9koz), Obuasi (+8koz), Iduapriem (+4koz), Cerro Vanguardia (+3koz) and Tropicana (+2koz). These increases were partly offset by lower gold production contributions year-on-year in Q1 2026 from Sunrise Dam (-10koz), Siguiri (-5koz) and Sukari (-4koz), reflecting variations in mine sequencing and planned throughput compared to Q1 2025, alongside lower output from the remainder of the portfolio. The Serra Grande operation in Brazil was sold on 1 December 2025.
Total cash costs per ounce* for the Group(1) increased by 14% year-on-year to $1,391/oz in Q1 2026 from $1,223/oz in Q1 2025, primarily reflecting higher royalty payments driven by the record gold price and the impact from underlying inflation, mainly due to increases in labour and mining contractor costs in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. AISC per ounce* for the Group(1) rose by 19% year-on-year to $1,955/oz in Q1 2026 from $1,640/oz in Q1 2025, driven mainly by the mechanical increase in gold price-linked royalties and a planned 29% increase in sustaining capital expenditure*.
The increase in sustaining capital expenditure* reflects deliberate and ongoing investment to advance the Full Asset Potential programme, support asset integrity, and ensure long-term operational resilience, in line with the Company’s strategic priorities.
Total capital expenditure for the Group(1) was $467m in Q1 2026, up 39% year-on-year from $336m in Q1 2025. This included $305m in sustaining capital expenditure* and $162m in non-sustaining capital expenditure*, the latter directed toward targeted development initiatives across the portfolio, particularly the advancement of the Nevada growth projects.
Supply chain update
In response to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, the Company has activated its global supply chain resilience protocols to ensure operational continuity. Proactive mitigation measures include, among other things, increasing fuel stocks and inventory buffers of critical spares and consumables at key African and Australian operations.
Arthur Gold Project technical report published(5)(6)(7)
During Q1 2026, the Company published the Technical Report Summary on the Pre-Feasibility Study for the Arthur Gold Project in Nevada(5). The study declared an initial Probable Mineral Reserve of 4.9Moz of gold (88Mt at 1.75g/t), establishing the project as a cornerstone of the Company’s US growth platform(5)(6).
“The exceptional economics detailed in the pre-feasibility study firmly establish the Arthur Gold Project as the cornerstone of our US growth platform,” said CEO Alberto Calderon. “Generating an after-tax NPV of up to $3.46bn at a gold price of $3,500/oz with an IRR up to 26%, this project pairs immediate scale with outstanding financial returns. With a world-class oxide orebody, minimal technical risk, and a disciplined capital approach, we have a clear roadmap to driving immense long-term shareholder value in a premier mining jurisdiction.”
The project demonstrates highly competitive economics and exceptional leverage to the gold price. At a $2,715/oz gold price, the project generates an estimated after-tax NPV (at a 5% discount rate) of $1.73bn to $1.78bn with an IRR of 15% to 19%. At a $3,500/oz gold price, the estimated after-tax NPV roughly doubles to $3.41bn to $3.46bn, driving the IRR up to 22% to 26%.
The operation is modelled to deliver an average annual production of approximately 500,000oz over an initial 9-year life of mine at a competitive life-of-mine AISC* of $925/oz- $975/ oz(5)(6)(7). Because the Merlin reserve is predominantly oxide material (greater than 95%) amenable to conventional processing, the project is expected to avoid the complexity and technical risk of refractory processing. Feasibility-level environmental, hydrological and community baseline studies are already underway.
Outlook(7)(8)
Full year 2026 guidance for gold production, costs and capital expenditure, which was issued in February 2026, remains unchanged.

The Company is not providing quantitative reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures for its Non-GAAP forward-looking information or financial guidance shown above in reliance on the exception provided by Rule 100(a)(2) of Regulation G because the reconciliations cannot be performed without unreasonable efforts as such IFRS measures cannot be reliably estimated due to their dependence on future uncertainties and adjusting items, including, among other factors, changes in economic, social, political and market conditions, including related to inflation or international conflicts, the success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, any supply chain disruptions, any public health crises, pandemics or epidemics, and other business and operational risks and challenges and other factors, including mining accidents, that the Company cannot reasonably predict at this time but which may be material. |

|
(8) |
Outlook economic assumptions for 2026 guidance are as follows: $0.68/A$, BRL5.47/$, AP1,606/$, ZAR16.90/$, Brent $61/bbl and gold price range of approximately $4,250/oz. Cost and capital forecast ranges for 2026 are expressed in “nominal” terms. “Nominal” cash flows are current price term cash flows that have been inflated into future value, using an appropriate “inflation” rate. Estimates assume neither operational or labour interruptions or power disruptions, nor further changes to asset portfolio and/or operating mines and have not been reviewed by AngloGold Ashanti’s external auditors. Other unknown or unpredictable factors, or factors outside the Company’s control, including inflationary pressures on its cost base, could also have material adverse effects on AngloGold Ashanti’s future results and no assurance can be given that any expectations expressed by AngloGold Ashanti will prove to have been correct. Measures taken at AngloGold Ashanti’s operations together with AngloGold Ashanti’s business continuity plans aim to enable its operations to deliver in line with its production targets. Actual results could differ from guidance and any deviations may be significant. Please refer to the Risk Factors section in AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 filed with the SEC. |
