NEW YORK (Reuters) - Africa's top gold mining company AngloGold Ashanti (>> AngloGold Ashanti Limited) is entering second-round talks with two potential partners or buyers for its Cripple Creek & Victor (CC&V) mine in the United States, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

Newmont Mining Corp (>> Newmont Mining Corp) and Canada's Kinross Gold Corp (>> Kinross Gold Corporation) are discussing a deal with AngloGold for part or all of Cripple Creek, the paper said. At least two other Canadian mining companies Iamgold Corp (>> IAMGOLD Corp) and Goldcorp Inc (>> Goldcorp Inc.) are also interested in acquiring all or part of the mine, the paper reported.

AngloGold has said it wants to reduce debt and that the sale of a stake in the U.S. mine and two others in Mali are part of an "objective to simplify and improve the overall quality of its portfolio".

CC&V is a surface mining operation in Colorado that generated 211,000 ounces of bullion last year.
