The addition of Corvus to AngloGold Ashanti’s Nevada assets consolidates the Beatty gold district operations and provides opportunity for the company to establish low-cost production base in a premier mining jurisdiction.

The company foresees Beatty District to become its potential Tier-1 asset, the further development plans of which will be communicated during next year. The inclusion of the Corvus assets will help AngloGold Ashanti to have first production in North America in the next three to four years, said Alberto Calderon, CEO and Executive Director, AngloGold Ashanti.
