MISTRA was approached by AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) to prepare a document on strategy to be presented at the
AngloGold Ashanti Board strategy meeting 2018. Like all mining companies, AGA is operating in a fraught environment defined by volatility in commodity prices and in the socio-political environments in which it operates. This requires that AGA develops strategies that take these dynamics into account. The report covered political, economic and social considerations at both a generic level and, briefly, in relation to each of the company’s jurisdictions: South Africa, Tanzania, Ghana, Mali, Guinea, Brazil, Tanzania and Colombia.
