"The results for the fourth quarter and full year 2015 show the combination of a strong ongoing focus on cost and capital discipline, as well as the operational leverage the company has to weaker currencies and lower oil prices," AngloGold said.
Adjusted headline earnings, which exclude certain one-off items, were $49 million versus a year-earlier loss of $1 million.
