Job description

AngloGold Ashanti is a global gold mining company with a diverse, high-quality portfolio of operations, projects and exploration activities across 10 countries on four continents. We pursue value-creating opportunities involving other minerals, where we can leverage our existing assets, shareholdings, skills, and experience.

At AngloGold Ashanti, we assure you of work that carries significance and creates tangible results. What we do goes beyond mining. We build livelihoods in communities, champion environmental stewardship, and strengthen local and national economies. Our leaders and teams are committed to listening to and supporting each other, valuing differences, and embracing equity. We are convinced that greatness only happens when we prioritise these behaviors and the well-being of every person.

The Business Development Intern will support the evaluation of strategic growth opportunities and capital projects by conducting research, financial analysis, due diligence, and risk assessments to help inform business and investment decisions.

Conduct industry, market, and company-specific research to assess mining companies, exploration projects, prospective mining assets, and partnership opportunities.

Support the evaluation of mining assets and business opportunities through financial modeling, valuation analysis, and commercial due diligence.

Gather, organize, and analyze operational, financial, and market data to assess project economics, risks, and investment potential.

Assist with the development of financial models for exploration, development, acquisition, and capital projects to support business and investment decisions.

Qualifications & Requirements

Currently enrolled as a rising junior in an Undergraduate program student pursuing a degree in Finance, Business Administration, or a related process discipline.

Foundational understanding of open-pit or underground mining methods and operations.

Exposure to finance, mergers and acquisition, and accounting.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite software, specifically Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio.

Strong technical writing, reporting, and presentation skills.

A collaborative mindset with an eagerness to learn and proactively ask questions.

Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
