Directors: GJ Horsfield (CEO), MD Evers (CFO)(British), A Buddingh, W Erasmus, Gerber, SJ Ingram M McWha, N Robinson, V Singh, MH Snelling, D Steenkamp (Alt), J Vassiloudis Major Element Recommended Concentrations and Limits (at two Standard Deviations) Certified Concentrations Al2O3 7.63 ± 0.14 % CaO 3.65 ± 0.10 % Fe2O3 17.72 ± 0.34 % K2O3.15± 0.04 % MgO 2.27 ± 0.12 % MnO 0.07 ± 0.01 % Na2O1.36± 0.06 % SiO2 56.85 ± 0.48 % S Comb / LECO 3.09 ± 0.14 % Provisional Concentrations Cr2O3 0.03 ± 0.01 % TiO2 0.20 ± 0.04 % LOI 5.88 ± 0.90 % 1. Intended Use: AMIS0335 can be used to check analysis of samples of BIF hosted gold ores, with a similar grade and matrix. It is a matrix matched Certified Reference Material, fit for use as control samples in routine assay laboratory quality control when inserted within runs of samples and measured in parallel to the unknown. Its purpose is to monitor inter-laboratory or instrument bias and within lab precision. It can be used, indirectly, to establish the traceability of results to an SI system of units. The recommended concentrations and limits for this material are property values based on a measurement campaign (round robin) and reflect consensus results from the laboratories that participated in the round robin. Slight variations in analytical procedures between laboratories will reflect as slight biases to the recommended concentrations (see 19). Good laboratories will report results within the two standard deviation levels with a failure rate of <10 %. The material can also be used for method development and for the calibration of equipment. 2. Origin of Material: AMIS0335 is a commissioned CRM made from material supplied by SGS Minerals Services from the Geita Gold Mine, which is wholly owned and operated by Anglogold Ashanti. The Geita Gold Mine is situated 80km south-west of the town of Mwanza in the north-west of Tanzania. The Geita gold deposit is an Archaean mesothermal orebody, located in the Sukumaland Greenstones of the Geita Greenstone Belt. It is largely hosted in a banded ironstone formation (BIF). Mineralisation is found where auriferous fluids, which are interpreted to have moved along shears often on BIF-diorite contacts, reacted with the BIF. Some lower-grade mineralisation can occur in the diorite as well (usually in association with BIF-hosted mineralisation). Approximately 20% of the gold is hosted in the diorite. 2 3. Mineral and Chemical Composition: The major gangue mineral is magnetite with quartz, ankerite, and minor pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Gold occurs primarily as discrete grains. 4. Appearance: The material is a very fine powder. It is colored a Dark Grey 5. Handling instructions: The material is packaged in Laboratory Packs and Explorer Packs that must be shaken or otherwise agitated before use. Normal safety precautions for handling fine particulate matter are suggested, such as the use of safety glasses, breathing protection, gloves and a laboratory coat. 6. Method of Preparation: The material was crushed, dry-milled and air-classified to <54um. Wet sieve particle size analysis of random samples confirmed the material was 98.5% <54um. It was then blended in a bi-conical mixer, systematically divided and then sealed into 1kg Laboratory Packs. Explorer Packs are subdivided from the Laboratory packs as required. Samples were randomly selected for homogeneity testing and third party analysis. Statistical analysis of both homogeneity and the consensus test results were carried out by independent statisticians. 7. Methods of Analysis requested: 1. Au – Pb collection ICP-OES or ICP-MS. 2. Multi-acid digest, including HF, ICP- OES or ICP-MS. Multi element scan to include Cu & Ag. 3. Majors ( Al2O3, CaO, Cr2O3, Fe2O3, K2O, MgO, MnO, Na2O, SiO2, TiO2. LOI. ) XRF fusion. 4. S – Combustion analysis. 5. SG – Gas Pycnometer. 8. Information requested: 1. Aliquots used for all determinations. 2. Results for individual PGM's reported in ppb. 3. Results for base metals reported in ppm. 4. QC data, to include replicates, blanks and certified reference materials used. 5. Analytical techniques used. 9. Method of Certification: Twenty six laboratories were each given eight randomly selected packages of sample. Twenty five of the laboratories submitted results. Final limits were calculated after first determining if all data was compatible within a spread normally expected for similar analytical methods done by reputable laboratories. Data from any one laboratory was then removed from further calculations when the mean of all analyses from that laboratory failed a “t test” of the global means of the other laboratories. The means and standard deviations were then re- calculated using all remaining data. Any analysis that fell outside of the new two standard deviations was removed from the ensuing data base. The mean and standard deviations were again calculated using the remaining data. The “between-laboratory” standard deviation is used in the calculation to eliminate technically and statistically invalid data. Upper and lower limits are based on the standard deviation of the remaining data, which reflect individual analyses and can be used to monitor accuracy in routine laboratory quality control. This is different to limits based on standard deviations derived from grouped set of analyses (see 12), which provide important measures for precision and trueness, but which are less useful for routine QC. Standards with an RSD of near or less than 5 % are termed “Certified”, RSD’s of between near 5 % and 15 % are termed “Provisional”, and RSD’s over 15 % are termed “Informational”. 3 10.

  • Social, Environmental and Health Legacy Issues
    MATERIAL ISSUE 4: The Nykabale village nursery is a project sponsored by AngloGold Ashanti to supply trees to the community and Geita Gold Mine, Tanzania. © 2014 ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI | ANNUAL REPORTS 2013 | Disclaimer MATERIAL ISSUE 4: Lung function testing at the occupational health clinic at Obuasi, Ghana. Context Occupational health and safety Occupational lung disease (OLD) is a risk inherent in many underground gold mines where silica dust is present. The most significant forms of OLD seen within the company are silicosis and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). OLD in Brazil has virtually been eradicated, as a consequence of mechanisation of mining, improved ventilation, dust suppression, personal preventative measures and statutory limitations on the length of service of underground employees. If inhaled, silica dust may cause inflammation and scarring in the lungs, resulting in impaired lung functioning. Silicosis typically has a long latency period of more than 15 years and is sometimes only detected years after exposure. Silicosis in South Africa is a legacy issue on which AngloGold Ashanti and the gold mining industry as a whole, as well as government, unions and health care professionals place an enormous effort in addressing. Our occupational health strategy encompasses both minimising current risks, primarily by reducing occupational exposure within the industry. In 2008, we committed to eliminating new cases of silicosis among previously unexposed employees at our South African operations. Pulmonary TB, particularly where it is associated with silica dust exposure, is a key area of concern. Our immediate commitment is to reduce occupational TB incidence to below 2.25% among our South African employees and to successfully cure 85% of new cases – a target set by World Health Organization (WHO).

  • Modelling the Optimum Interface Between Open Pit and Underground Mining for Gold Mines
    MODELLING THE OPTIMUM INTERFACE BETWEEN OPEN PIT AND UNDERGROUND MINING FOR GOLD MINES Seth Opoku A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Johannesburg 2013 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. Where use was made of the work of others, it was duly acknowledged. It is being submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before in any form for any degree or examination at any other university. Signed …………………………….. (Seth Opoku) This……………….day of……………..………2013 i ABSTRACT The open pit to underground transition problem involves the decision of when, how and at what depth to transition from open pit (OP) to underground (UG). However, the current criteria guiding the process of the OP – UG transition are not well defined and documented as most mines rely on their project feasibility teams’ experiences. In addition, the methodologies used to address this problem have been based on deterministic approaches. The deterministic approaches cannot address the practicalities that mining companies face during decision-making, such as uncertainties in the geological models and optimisation parameters, thus rendering deterministic solutions inadequate. In order to address these shortcomings, this research reviewed the OP – UG transition problem from a stochastic or probabilistic perspective. To address the uncertainties in the geological models, simulated models were generated and used. In this study, transition indicators used for the OP - UG transition were Net Present Value (NPV), ratio of price to cost per ounce of gold, stripping ratio, processed ounces and average grade at the run of mine pad.

  • The Geita Gold Mine in Tanzania
    Applied Geography 54 (2014) 243e249 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Applied Geography journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/apgeog Monitoring geomorphic and hydrologic change at mine sites using satellite imagery: The Geita Gold Mine in Tanzania * Jody Emel , Joshua Plisinski, John Rogan Clark Graduate School of Geography, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610, United States abstract Keywords: Large surface mining operations typically involve not only multiple pits but also the creation of new Mining “mountains” of tailings. These operations dramatically change the local watershed topography and Stream flow expose downslope agricultural fields and forest to tailings runoff. Given that most mine tailings expose DEM large quantities of surface area to oxidation and transport by water, any heavy metals associated with the Tanzania Geita Gold Mine deposit are mobilized to move along with the runoff. In Tanzania, the Geita Gold Mine (GGM) area is such a site and the Government of Tanzania has yet to develop a water monitoring network to protect villages adjacent to the mines. As a result, mining company data are the only data available to monitor water supply and quality. Typically in mining and oil sand extraction, geospatial data are used to report and monitor land reclamation at the mining site, and while these efforts are useful, they do not consider hydrologic changes and risks. In this paper we evaluate the use of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data from the Space shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) in an effort to identify the changes in local topography and surface hydrology around the GGM and assess the implications these changes have for the potential increased mobility of tailings and their effects upon farmers, village water supplies, and community forests using a hydrologic flow model.

  • 5 the Sukuma and the Ideology of a Free Market
    5 The Sukuma and the ideology of a free market By the beginning of the eighties the disillusionment with the socialist ideology and the growing difference between rhetoric and reality provided a fertile basis for change, away from ideology towards more pragmatism. People were fed up with the national government and its central planning. In 1985 the ‘Father of the Nation’ step down as president, giving way to an agreement with the International Monetary Fund which he had always prohibited as being against the ideology of ‘self-reliance’. It was followed by a rapid liberalization process, promoting a free market economy and reducing the role of the state. In 1992 this change was followed by a multi-party system and the democratization of political struc- tures. How did these liberalization and democratization processes affect the Sukuma’s under- standing of themselves? Undoubtedly they experienced these changes as a victory over the ‘internal expatriates’, bureaucrats from Dar es Salaam. But with the open economy and a free market new outsiders came, private companies dominated by non-Sukuma and even non-Africans, new political parties, imported goods and new religions, aid workers and officials of the United Nations High Commission for the Refugees, who are based in Mwanza and who run an airline from Mwanza Airport to the camps for refugees from Ruanda, Burundi and recently from the Democratic Republic of Congo. How did these world-wide ‘others’ affect Sukumaness? How do the Sukuma deal with this? In the previous chapters we dealt with various topics, in a more or less systematic way: social structures, political institutions, means of living, cultural and religious ways of problem-solving, law and medicine.

  • Ard Management at Geita Gold Mine1
    ARD MANAGEMENT AT GEITA GOLD MINE1 Ulrich Sibilski,2 and Rebecca Stephen3 Abstract: The Geita Gold Mine (GGM) is located approximately 4km west of Geita in the Mwanza Region of northern Tanzania. The mine is situated at the headwaters of the Mtakuja River that drains into Lake Victoria approximately 20km north west of plant site. GGM is owned and managed by AngloGold Ashanti Limited which is one of the major gold producer companies in the world. GGM alone produces up to 610,000 oz of gold per year moving towards 880,000 oz in 2007. GGM has sound environmental practices and Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) is one of the main issues of concern. This paper describes the management of ARD at GGM which is mostly done through proper identification and handling of potentially acid forming waste material from all operating five pits. The procedure for ARD management involves: producing a waste model for the life of mine for each pit; validating of waste models using in-pit geological mapping; selective handling and placement of waste in designated areas of the waste rock dump and the tailings dam embankments; validating placement of waste within the waste rock dump and tailings dam embankment; monitoring the placement using piezometers within the waste rock dump, tailings embankment and downstream of these facilities; regular technical reviews and implementing the mentioned procedures for the life of mine. Our rehabilitation programme further enhances the combat of ARD and has been recognised in the Tanzanian mining industry as being the benchmark. ______________________ 1 Poster paper presented at the 7th International Conference on Acid Rock Drainage (ICARD), March 26-30, 2006, St.
