The information comes from a regulatory disclosure filed by AngloGold Ashanti and signed by Director Jana Blumenstein, detailing the acquisition and the firm’s new holdings.
AngloGold Ashanti, a major multinational gold miner listed on the London, New York, and Johannesburg stock exchanges, operates a diversified portfolio of mines across Africa and other regions.
The company’s shares have performed strongly in recent years.
