[miningmx.com] — ANGLOGOLD Ashanti , the world’s third largest gold producer, said on Monday that it was aiming to lift output to 5.5 million ounces by 2014 from a forecast 4.45 million ounces this year.

It also said in a presentation on its website that it was targeting 7.6 million ounces by 2020. The company also expects to get 31% of its output from South Africa in 2014, down from 39% now, as it seeks new growth opportunities outside its domestic base.
