FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
A cautionary announcement was released on 16 May 2003 in relation to a
potential merger between Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited ("Ashanti") and

shares or global depositary securities.
AngloGold has been notified that the Government of Ghana, a substantial

advice in considering the proposed merger. AngloGold welcomes this development
as an important step forward in the discussions with key stakeholders.
Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when
