On 1 May 2025, AngloGold Ashanti completed the sale of its entire interest in the Doropo and Archean-Birimian Contact (ABC) projects to Resolute
Mining Limited for a total consideration of $162m, $25m received as a cash payment, $103m as deferred consideration and $34m as contingent
consideration, resulting in a loss on disposal of $47m.
The deferred and contingent consideration for the sale of the Doropo project comprised discounted future cash flows to be paid in three tranches as
follows:
i) $50m in cash 18 months after completion of the sale, plus either (i) the acquisition of the Mansala project or (ii) an additional amount of $25m if
the acquisition cannot be completed within 18 months; and
ii) $75m in cash 30 months after completion of the sale.
The contingent consideration for the sale of the ABC project comprised probability weighted cash flows relating to a milestone payment of $10m in
cash on declaration of a JORC-compliant 1.0 Moz Mineral Reserve on the current ABC project tenements, and a 2% Net Smelter Royalty over any
gold production from any Mineral Resource on the current ABC project tenements.
