AngloGold Ashanti reported that full-year profit nearly tripled in 2025, buoyed by record gold prices and higher production, while announcing close to 5 million ounces in new U.S. gold reserves, according to Reuters.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, headline earnings rose to $2.725 billion, up from $954 million in 2024, supported by a sharp increase in the average realized gold price and a 16 percent rise in output to 3.1 million ounces. The stronger performance was also aided by the first full-year contribution from the Sukari mine in Egypt following the company’s acquisition of a 50 percent stake, MarketScreener reported.
The board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.73 per share, bringing total shareholder returns for the year to approximately $1.8 billion, reflecting robust cash generation and improved margins across its portfolio.
In the United States, AngloGold announced initial mineral reserves of about 4.9 million ounces at the Arthur Gold Project in Nevada, following a pre-feasibility study outlining an estimated nine-year mine life and average annual production of roughly 500,000 ounces. The company said the discovery strengthens its long-term growth pipeline at a time when elevated gold prices continue to support expansion and exploration activity.
The results underscore how sustained strength in bullion markets has reinforced profitability for major gold producers, positioning AngloGold for continued investment and shareholder returns.
