The company will sell Centamin West Africa Hold­ings Limited (“CWAH”), which owns the Doropo Project and the Archean-Birimian Contact (“ABC”) Project in Côte d’Ivoire, to Resolute, which has extensive operational experience in West Africa (the “Sale”).

AngloGold Ashanti acquired an indirect interest in the projects when it acquired Centamin plc in November 2024.

Following a Company review to determine how best to max­imise value from the projects, it was determined that the scale of the Doropo Project, as well as competition for capital with other development projects in the An­gloGold Ashanti portfolio, meant it would benefit more from ownership by a company with the requisite operational focus and financial capacity to advance its development in a timely manner.

 Given Resolute’s focus on Côte d’Ivoire, the ABC Project, an early-stage exploration project has been included as part of the Sale.

“This transaction ensures we maintain our focus on disciplined capital allocation and driving effi­ciencies from our existing port­folio,” AngloGold Ashanti CEO Alberto Calderon said.

“It also ensures these projects are in good hands, to benefit all stakeholders,” he said.

There are no conditions to completion of the Sale, which is scheduled to occur on 1st May 2025.

In connection with the Sale, AGA will also acquire Toro Gold Guinée Sarlu (“TGG”), which owns the titles to the Mansala Project in Guinea, from Resolute (the “Acquisition”).

The Mansala Project is adjacent to AGA’s Siguiri mine in Guinea and it is anticipated to be devel­oped as a brownfields project to provide an additional ore source to AngloGold Ashanti’s Siguiri operations.

The acquisition is subject to several conditions, including the renewal of the TGG permits and the approval of the Government of Guinea.
