AngloGold Ashanti is no longer a South African company in the legal sense. It states on its own site that AngloGold Ashanti plc is incorporated in England and Wales under registered number 14654651, with its principal executive and registered office in London and its group global headquarters in Colorado. The Johannesburg office is still there and still answers, but it is now one office among several rather than the head office.
The South African office
- Telephone: +27 11 637 6000, dialled locally as 011 637 6000
- Fax: +27 11 637 6624
- Address: 112 Oxford Road, Houghton Estate, 2198, Johannesburg
- Postal: Private Bag X20, Rosebank, 2196
Departmental mailboxes
- Media enquiries: [email protected]
- Investor relations: [email protected]
- Company secretarial: [email protected]
Note the two domains. Investor relations sits on aga.gold while media and company secretarial sit on anglogoldashanti.com, and copying the wrong one is an easy mistake. The contacts page also names two individual officers with direct lines and personal mobile numbers; those are not reproduced here, because the role mailboxes above outlast the people behind them.
If you are a shareholder
Share queries do not go to the company at all. They go to the registrar, and which registrar depends on where you hold the shares.
- South Africa: Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited, 0861 100 950 within South Africa, fax +27 11 688 5218, [email protected], Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196, or Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132

Dividends, lost certificates, address changes and transfers are all registrar matters. The Johannesburg switchboard will refer you there anyway.

Suppliers and job seekers
The company publishes a Suppliers section and a Careers section with job search, graduate and student routes on its own site. Use those. Mining recruitment fraud is widespread and the rule is absolute: no legitimate mining employer charges you for an application, a medical, an induction or transport to site, and no genuine offer arrives from a free webmail address.
Community and environmental concerns
AngloGold Ashanti publishes a sustainability section covering tailings management, water stewardship, rehabilitation and mine closure planning, and a page on its South African legacy projects, which is where historical liabilities from closed operations sit. If your concern relates to a former operation rather than a current one, that legacy material is the right starting point, and the Johannesburg office is the right number.
