AFRICA MUST TAKE LEAD IN TALKS ON GOLD’S FUTURE, SAYS ANGLOGOLD’S GODSELL Date: Thursday, August 03, 2000 A call to Africa to take the lead in convening a gathering “to ensure both a level playing field and sound future for gold” was made today (Thursday, 3 August, 2000) by Bobby Godsell, CEO of South African-based AngloGold, the world’s largest gold producer. Speaking at the official opening of Geita Gold Mine in Tanzania, a joint venture between Ghanaian-based Ashanti Goldfields and AngloGold, Godsell referred to “Africa’s gold agenda” and said all countries on all continents had to compete in today’s global economy, or perish. To compete, developing nations had to find those industries and areas of economic activity where they had some leverage. “I am convinced that the gold industry is one such area,” Godsell said. “More than half of the world’s annual gold production comes from developing nations. Most of the future prospective gold mines are to be found in developing countries. This is an industry where gold producers such as Tanzania, Ghana and South Africa can indeed compete.” Last year, Godsell recalled, African governments co-operated with other developing economies to ask large holders of gold to conduct their sales in a way which did not disrupt gold markets, nor undermine confidence in the future of the metal. The IMF decision to raise funds for debt relief in a way which would not require putting gold on open markets, and the agreement between European central banks was, in part, the positive consequence of such calls, he said. “Is there not more that gold producing countries can and should do to ensure stable gold markets?” Godsell asked. “Could Africa not take the lead in convening a gathering of governments and social partners to consider what is needed to ensure both a level playing field and a sound future for this metal, now so much an engine of developing nation prosperity? “Developed nations should participate but let Africa lead,” he concluded.
