AngloGold Ashanti places Brazil’s Corrego Do Sitio mine on care and maintenance after sustained operating losses

The Córrego do Sítio (CDS) mine in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state  has for a sustained period reported challenging operating results characterised by poor production and costs  that remain well above the gold price.  

The mine has been unable to sustain itself or to fund the capital needed to ensure its long-term future. In the  first six months of this year CDS produced 30,000oz at a total cash cost of $2,278/oz and an all-in sustaining  cost of $3,031/oz. CDS reported negative free cash flow of $30m over that period. 

AngloGold Ashanti Brasil, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti, has therefore taken the difficult  decision to place CDS on care and maintenance.  

The company believes that layoffs are always the last resort and has taken reasonable steps to reduce the  number of people affected by this transition to care and maintenance, including through the placement of  some employees elsewhere in the company where equivalent roles exist.

Unfortunately, however, at the  end of this process there will be a reduction in the CDS workforce.  

AngloGold Ashanti Brasil commits to ensuring this process is undertaken in a manner that ensures all those  affected will be treated with dignity and respect, that all legal obligations are met and that stakeholders are  kept apprised of all material developments through the process.

About Córrego do Sítio
