The deal, one year on
AngloGold Ashanti completed its acquisition of Centamin plc on 22 November 2024, bringing Egypt's Sukari mine, its first modern, large-scale gold operation, into the AngloGold portfolio. AngloGold's own asset disclosures for FY25 report roughly 500,000 ounces of production at Sukari and all-in sustaining costs of about US$1,094 per ounce.
Why fundamentals investors care
Large gold M&A frequently disappoints because the acquirer overpays for reserves that later underdeliver. Sukari's post-deal performance suggests AngloGold bought a genuine Tier 1 asset at a defensible price, in a jurisdiction where it now has the operating history to expand thoughtfully.
