    At a share price of US$79.14, AngloGold Ashanti has seen its short term share price momentum fade, with the 30 day share price return down 14.25% and the 90 day share price return down 24.07%. However, the 1 year total shareholder return of 77.23% and 5 year total shareholder return of about 4.6x still point to a strong longer term payoff profile. This frames the Geita financing as another key development in an already eventful period for the stock.
