AngloGold Ashanti Limited noted that Colombia's environmental regulator, Autoridad Nacional de Licencias Ambientales, or ANLA, has published on its Web site a decision to `archive' the environmental permit application for the Quebradona project. AngloGold Ashanti has not yet received the formal notification of this decision by ANLA and will study the formal archive decision once received. Generally, a decision to archive is made where the regulator determines that in some areas it requires additional information to either confirm or deny a permit application. The applicant can decide whether to appeal the decision or refile the application. Usually, it allows applicants to focus on the areas where, according to authorities, the additional information is required.
