$AU · AngloGold Ashanti PLC
AngloGold Ashanti filed a 6-K containing its September 2026 Nevada Projects Investor Site Visit presentation. The presentation details the Beatty Gold District strategy anchored by the Arthur Gold Project, which declared a first-time Probable Mineral Reserve of 4.9Moz at 1.75 g/t. Arthur's PFS projects ~500koz/year over an initial ~9-year mine life at $954/oz AISC (real terms), with a ~$3.6B capital estimate. The total district Mineral Resource stands at 22.0Moz. North Bullfrog's Record of Decision is expected December 2026.
- Arthur Gold Project initial Probable Mineral Reserve of 4.9Moz at 1.75 g/t gold (88Mt).
- Life-of-mine AISC estimated at $954/oz (real terms), lowest projected cash cost among Nevada majors at $778/oz.
- Total Beatty District Mineral Resource of 22.0Moz, including 10.8Moz at Arthur (Silicon & Merlin).
- North Bullfrog Record of Decision on schedule for December 2026; Feasibility Study for Arthur targeted Q2 2028.
- Arthur Phase 1: ~10M tonnes at 5.0 g/t estimated; 7 Mtpa CIL mill plus 5.5 Mtpa heap leach.
Extended-hours trading shows AU at $99.96, up +1.49% vs the regular close of $98.49, suggesting a positive initial reception to the detailed Nevada district strategy and cost projections.
AngloGold is building what it calls Nevada's next prolific gold district, with a 22Moz resource base and industry-leading cost structure that could reshape its production profile for decades.
AngloGold is positioning the Beatty District as a Tier-1 Nevada complex to rival Nevada Gold Mines (NEM/Barrick JV). The $954/oz AISC would undercut every major Nevada operation, per S&P Global data cited in the presentation.
PFS-level estimates carry ±25% accuracy; Mineral Resource conversion to Reserve is not assured. Permitting delays, cost inflation, and gold price declines could materially impair project economics.
