[Gold Prices and Production Drive AngloGold's Full-Year Profits Up 186%] ⑴ AngloGold Ashanti announced its full-year 2025 results on Friday, with total profit reaching $2.725 billion, a 186% surge from $954 million in the previous year. This explosive growth was primarily driven by both record gold prices and increased production. ⑵ Significant breakthroughs in production. The company produced 3.1 million ounces of gold in the year, a 16% increase year-on-year. The main contributor to this increase was the first full-year contribution from the Sukari mine in Egypt, whose capacity has been gradually released since the company acquired a 50% stake in 2024. ⑶ Price contribution was even more significant. The average gold price obtained by the company was 45% higher than the previous year, further amplifying profit elasticity on top of production growth. The continued high gold prices directly translated into profitability for the mining company. ⑷ Shareholder returns increased accordingly. The company announced a quarterly dividend of $1.73 per share, bringing the total dividend payout for 2025 to $1.8 billion. Against the backdrop of significantly improved profitability, cash flow allocation was tilted towards shareholders. (5) AngloGold's performance provides a benchmark for the gold mining sector. With the combined effects of rising gold prices and production expansion by some mining companies, the overall profitability of the industry is expected to undergo a structural reassessment.
