Letter from Chairman and CEO
Dear Shareholder
AngloGold has, for a second successive quarter, produced results which are
operationally sound, with gold production 2% higher, despite the expected lower
grades at many of the operations. Again this quarter, as we anticipated in our
report for the first three months of 2003, the company's results were adversely
affected by local currency strength in seven of the eight countries in which we
do business - total cash costs rose 6% to $223/oz and operating profit was 4%
lower at $140m. Headline earnings were 11% down, to $66m for the quarter.
The effects of the lower grade and stronger currencies were moderated by a
higher received price for gold, which was 3% higher, at $354/oz, despite the
marginal decline in the average spot gold price for the quarter. Going forward,
we expect the company's prudent management of its hedge book, which declined by
a further 610,000oz this quarter, to ensure that the price we receive for gold
will continue to be close to the dollar spot price. The Board decided to change
the targeted level of hedging commitments from 50% to 30% of five years'
production. It was also confirmed that management would continue to have the
latitude to put new contracts in place where circumstances make this prudent.
We were disappointed with the company's safety performance during the quarter,
as reflected in both our fatal accident and lost time injury frequencies.
Workplace safety remains a priority and operating management has measures in
place to improve our performance in this critical area.
Looking ahead to the operations for the rest of the year, we expect performance
to improve as the grade at Geita strengthens and production levels at CC&V
increase during the third and fourth quarters.
This year's biennial wage negotiations for our South African operations have
now been completed. The agreement will have the effect of increasing employment
costs at these operations by approximately 10% per annum, including the
provisions for increased leave and employer contributions to retirement
funding. It remains management's commitment, as in previous years to ensure
that this increase does not lead to a material increase in unit labour costs on
AngloGold's South African operations, through continuing productivity
improvement programmes, which have seen individual employee productivity
improve by 18% over the last five years.
We understand that Ashanti Goldfields has been advised by the Government of
Ghana that it has appointed a consortium led by Société Généralé to act as
advisors to the Government as a shareholder, holder of the golden share in
Ashanti and as a regulator of the mining industry in Ghana, and to assist the
Government in arriving at a decision on the proposed merger of Ashanti and
AngloGold.
As we note elsewhere in this report, AngloGold and our partners in the Jerritt
Canyon joint venture, Meridian Gold, have concluded the sale of Jerritt Canyon
to Queenstake Resources. With the consequent rationalising of AngloGold's
regional activities, our offices in Denver are being right sized. Jim Komadina,
who had the position of President, AngloGold North America, has left the
company. We take this opportunity to thank Jim for his contribution to
AngloGold and wish him well in the future.
AngloGold has declared an interim dividend of 375 South African cents per
share, or 51 US cents per share1 (the interim dividend paid in 2002 was 675
South African cents per share, or 63.8 US cents per share). This level of
dividend is consistent with AngloGold's established practice of paying out a
significant proportion of its earnings to shareholders, after providing for its
organic growth objectives.

Review of the gold market
The closing spot price of gold of $345/oz for this quarter was US$8 higher than
the opening price; the average price for the quarter of $347/oz was slightly
lower than the average for the previous quarter. These price markers conceal an
active quarter, however, and the gold price within the quarter was again
volatile, reaching a high of $374/oz, and covering a range of $56/oz. Currency
markets showed similar volatility, with the US dollar reaching an all-time low
against the Euro of $1.19, or almost 10% weaker than its opening rate of $1.09
to the Euro. The Australian dollar was similarly active, gaining 10% against
the US dollar, whilst the rand exchange rate against the US dollar ranged by
almost 20% between its strongest point of R7.02 and the weakest rate of R8.33
to the US currency.
The Rand gold price covered a range of almost 30% between the high for the
quarter of R97,240/kg and the low of R75,375/kg. The local price closed the
quarter close to the lows at R82,770/kg.
Activity in the market reflected ongoing interest in gold in a period of
widespread financial, economic and political uncertainty. With the exception of
the spur to the spot price at the time of the announcement of Newmont Mining's
offer of settlement to the Yandal creditors, the gold price was driven mostly
by movement of the US dollar against the Euro. The weakening dollar has been
good for a range of commodities, including base metals and oil, but investor
and speculator interest has been particularly focussed on gold as the most
consistent beneficiary of the weaker dollar.
Expectations of the gold price for the next 12 to 24 months are tied closely to
the fate of the US dollar and, more broadly, of the US economy. As the dollar
weakens, so the gold price is expected to rise.
The overwhelming consensus of commentators on currency markets is for a
continued weakening of the US currency, specifically against the Euro, with
some major players looking for exchange rates as low as $1.40 against the Euro
by the end of 2004. These forecasts seem to ignore some of the fundamental
weaknesses in the European economies today (particularly as a stronger Euro
will continue to squeeze growth in Europe), which would argue against further
strengthening of the common European currency. However, the reality is that
many of the Asian economies - Japan and China especially - are resisting the
re-valuation of their currencies against the dollar by actively buying US
bonds, and as a result the Euro might well have to bear a disproportionate
burden of the market's concerns over the US dollar. For that reason, the Euro
could move to an overvalued exchange rate against the dollar.
Whilst the weakening of the US dollar has been the indicator for gold price
movements, the vehicle for effecting those price movements has been the New
York Comex. Speculators and investors who trade gold on the Comex have so far
shown a consistent pattern in gold buying, with a core net long holding since
2001 of some 4-5Moz, and opportunistic trading up to aggregate net long
positions of 10-14Moz. It will be important for gold that Comex continue to
support the price by sustained buying as the economic indicators continue to
favour gold.
The physical market continues to react negatively to higher prices. Ongoing
spot price volatility has also not helped the physical markets to adjust their
buying thresholds to new price ranges. During May, Indian imports all but
ceased, and offtake is unlikely to resume until post-monsoon seasonal buying in
August. Italian offtake for the first quarter of 2003 declined by 27%
year-on-year, and there are indications that consumer offtake of gold jewellery
in the USA has been weak.
This fall in offtake has been offset by sustained de-hedging from producers.
After a reduction of some 430t in net gold producer hedge positions during
2002, the first quarter of 2003 saw hedges fall by a further 143t. This has
provided an important offset to weaker physical demand, as well as assisting to
balance sharply higher flows of scrap gold onto the physical markets throughout
2002. This was particularly so in the first quarter of 2003, when scrap flows
reached a rate equivalent to almost 1,000tpa. The current levels of scrap sales
or recycling of gold exceed by a significant margin the previous record levels
of selling seen during the Asian currency crises of late 1997 - 1998. With
producer sales reduced by de-hedging, these scrap sales have been absorbed by
the market, but some long-term equilibrium will be required in the physical
market in order for this level of selling not to weigh on the price of the
metal.
The currency markets continue to be dominated by movements in the value of the
US dollar. During May, the US currency reached an all time low of $1.19 to the
Euro. Although it closed the quarter at $1.15 to the Euro, at its weakest it
had lost over 40% in value against the European currency over the past 24
months. As observed above, expectations are that this devaluation will
continue. The weakness of the US dollar translated to a strengthening of both
the Australian dollar, which touched A$0.67 to the US currency late in the
quarter, and to the rand, which might otherwise have been expected to weaken on
the back of favourable corrections to South African consumer inflation rate
measurement, and a rate cut of 150 basis points during the quarter. As it was,
the South African currency ended the quarter at R7.55 to the dollar, compared
with an intra-quarter low of R8.33. As a result, South African producers remain
under pressure as the strong local currency continues to impact negatively on
the competitiveness of local production costs.
Hedging
As at 30 June 2003, the net delta hedge position of AngloGold was 8.73Moz,
0.61Moz or 18.9t lower than the hedge position at 31 March 2003. The
marked-to-market valuation of this position as at 30 June 2003 was negative
$179m. These figures reflect the ongoing reduction in forward price commitments
of the company.
At a meeting of the AngloGold board on 30 July 2003, a decision was taken to
review the current hedging upper limit of 50% of five years gold production. In
the light of the enduring strength of the dollar spot gold price and the
stability of AngloGold's operations, it has been decided to change the targeted
level of forward-price commitments to 30% of five years production. In
addition, it was confirmed that management would continue to have the latitude
to put new forward-pricing contracts in place where the gold price and
operating circumstances make this necessary or prudent.
Hedge position
As at 30 June 2003, the group had outstanding, the following forward-pricing
commitments against future production. The total net delta tonnage of the hedge
on this date was 8.73Moz or 271.6t (at 31 March 2003: 9.34Moz or 290.5t).
The marked-to-market value of all hedge transactions making up the hedge
positions was a negative $179.3m (negative R1.35bn) as at 30 June 2003 (as at
31 March 2003: negative $251.5m - negative R1.97bn). These values were based on
a gold price of $346/oz, exchange rates of R/$7.55 and A$/$0.6761 and the
prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at the time.
As at 30 July 2003, the marked-to-market value of the hedge book was a negative
$354.6m (negative R2.61bn), based on a gold price of $358/oz and exchange rates
of R/$7.37 and A$/$0.6569 and the prevailing market interest rates and
volatilities at the time.
These marked-to-market valuations are in no way predictive of the future value
of the hedge position nor of future impact on the revenue of the company. The
valuation represents the cost of buying all hedge contracts at the time of
valuation, at market prices and rates available at the time.

Notes
The results included herein for the quarter and six months ended 30 June 2003,
which are unaudited, are prepared using the accounting policies which are in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and South
African Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (SA GAAP).
1. During the quarter, 21,400 ordinary shares were allotted in terms of the
AngloGold Share Incentive Scheme.
2. Orders placed and outstanding on capital contracts as at 30 June 2003
totalled R1,123m (31 March 2003: R927m), equivalent to $150m (31 March 2003:
$117m) at the rate of exchange ruling on that date.
3. Although AngloGold holds a 66.7% interest in Cripple Creek & Victor Gold
Mining Company Limited, it is currently entitled to receive 100% of the
cash flow from the operation until the loan, extended to the joint venture
by AngloGold North America Inc., is repaid.
* During the quarter, AngloGold made the following announcements:
4.1 On 16 May 2003, AngloGold issued a cautionary announcement to shareholders
in which it confirmed that the boards of Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited and
AngloGold were in discussion regarding the proposed merger of the two companies
at a ratio of 26 AngloGold shares for every 100 Ashanti ordinary shares and
global depositary securities. These proposals may or may not lead to a proposal
being made for the entire issued share capital of Ashanti. This announcement
was followed by a further cautionary announcement on 13 June 2003 in which
AngloGold advised that the Government of Ghana, a substantial shareholder and
regulator of Ashanti, was taking appropriate professional advice in considering
the proposed merger.
4.2 On 23 May 2003, AngloGold announced that it had signed an agreement to sell
its wholly-owned Amapari Project to Mineração Pedra Branca do Amapari, for the
total consideration of $18.2m. The Amapari project is located in the State of
Amapá, North Brazil. Since acquiring the property from Minorco, the Company has
sought to prove up additional reserve ounces in order to get it to a size and
life that would justify the management resources needed to run it effectively.
This was not achieved and AngloGold, on receiving a fair offer from a purchaser
who could constructively turn this orebody to account, agreed to sell.
4.3 On 6 June 2003, AngloGold announced that it had finalised the sale of its
49% stake in the Gawler Craton Joint Venture, including the Tunkillia project
located in South Australia to Helix Resources Limited. Consideration for the
sale comprised cash of $500,000 (A$750,000), 1.25m fully-paid Helix shares
issued at A$0.20 per share and 1.25m Helix options exercisable at A$0.25 per
option before 30 November 2003 with an additional payment of $335,000
(A$500,000) deferred to the delineation of a mineable resource of 350,000
ounces. Helix's proposed acquisition of AngloGold's rights to the Tarcoola
Project, 60km to the south, was excluded from the final agreement. This
resulted in a restructure of the original agreement terms, as announced on
8 April 2003.
4.4 On 2 July 2003, AngloGold announced that it had concluded the sale of its
interest in the Jerritt Canyon Joint Venture to Queenstake Resources USA Inc.
effective 30 June 2003. This followed negotiations originally announced on
27 February 2003. Queenstake paid the Jerritt Canyon Joint Venture partners,
AngloGold and Meridian Gold, $1.5m in cash and 32m shares issued by a
subsidiary, Queenstake Resources Limited, with $6m in deferred payments and $4m
in future royalty payments. Queenstake accepted full closure and reclamation
liabilities. AngloGold's shareholding represents approximately 9.2% of
Queenstake Resources Limited's issued share capital and, although it does not
currently have any intention to acquire additional shares in Queenstake,
depending on the market price of Queenstake shares, general economic and
industry conditions and other factors, and subject to applicable securities
laws, AngloGold may either sell its shares in Queenstake or acquire additional
shares.

AngloGold
Riches of Africa
Jewellery Design Competition
A leader in gold marketing internationally, AngloGold is involved in a range of
projects to increase consumer demand for gold jewellery through enhancing its
image and desirability. These have included the sponsorship of a number of gold
jewellery competitions, which the company has found to be an effective way of
encouraging designers to experiment with new styles and techniques in gold.
When AngloGold established the Riches of Africa gold jewellery design
competition in South Africa in 1998, there were further objectives in mind.
These were to use the competition to enhance local skills and to support the
local gold jewellery industry, and to use the event to showcase the design and
goldsmithing capabilities of South Africans.
With the recent unveiling of the fifth gold jewellery collection - Riches of
Africa 2003 - in Johannesburg, it seems appropriate to reflect on what has been
achieved since the competition was launched. Support for the event has grown,
with the number of entries growing from 204 in 1999 to 1,112 in 2003.
Unquestionably, if the collections of the first and fifth competitions are
compared the pieces of 2003 are more innovative, more visually arresting and
definitely bolder than those of 1999.
This does not detract from the achievements of the first winners. The progress
is testimony to the great value of competitions, challenging people to try ever
harder to improve standards and to innovate. It is also a consequence of
changes to the rules every year. These changes have been made in the interests
of fine-tuning competition conditions to give entrants every chance to produce
the best work possible. Important changes that have been made are the
introduction of a theme; the holding of workshops for all entrants; the opening
of the competition to non-jewellers, making the event accessible to people
involved in all design disciplines; and the scrapping of separate categories
for professionals and amateurs. The most significant development in 2003 has
been to allow participants to include both white and coloured gold in their
designs.
The overall winner of this year's competition was Cape Town-based Johan Louw,
for a neck piece inspired by the wings of dragonflies. Noeline Kruger, also
from Cape Town, took second place and Alet-Marie van Zyl, from Johannesburg,
was placed third.
The Minister of Minerals and Energy, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, speaking at the
award ceremony, recognised the significant contribution made by AngloGold to
the development of South African jewellery design talent. She applauded
AngloGold's involvement with OroAfrica and that company's success in growing
its jewellery exports to the United States during the past two years.
The Riches of Africa collections are exhibited throughout South Africa and
abroad, either in fashion shows where they are teamed with designer garments or
in exhibitions.
AngloGold is proud of the role that Riches of Africa has played in bringing the
talents of South African jewellery designers and goldsmiths to the attention of
a wide audience.
