On June 24, AngloGold Ashanti fell 5.04% in pre-market trading, trading at $79.58/share, with turnover of $2.7728 million, extending a multi-day selloff that has seen the stock decline sharply from above $85 earlier in the week.

On the news front, Guinean President Doumbouya announced a comprehensive ban on gold ore exports effective immediately, requiring all gold to be smelted and certified at the Conakry refinery before being exported exclusively in gold bar form. Companies found in violation face revocation of mining permits and termination of cooperation agreements. AngloGold Ashanti, which holds an 85% interest in the Siguiri project in Guinea, operates as a major industrial-scale gold mining entity in the country and is directly impacted by the decree. The company faces significant operational process restructuring and cost escalation pressures as it adapts to the new regulatory framework.

Within the Gold sector, the broader industry is under pressure. Among peers, Newmont Mining is down 2.9%, Barrick Mining Corporation down 1.99%, Kinross down 2.24%, Coeur Mining down 2.27%, and Agnico Eagle Mines down 1.97%, though AngloGold Ashanti's decline materially exceeds sector peers due to its direct Guinea exposure.
