AngloGold Ashanti posted Q2 headline earnings of $1.01 billion, a 58% jump year-over-year, with net income of $1.0 billion and revenue of $3.10 billion. The company also stated it is in no rush to sell its Cerro Vanguardia mine, noting that forecasted 2026 cash flow from the asset could equal about 60% of expected sale proceeds under current market pricing.
