Randgold Resources is an African focused gold mining and exploration company with listings on the London Stock Exchange (RRS) and NASDAQ (GOLD). Major discoveries to date include the 7.5Moz Morila deposit, the 7.2Moz Yalea deposit and the 5.9Moz Gounkoto deposit, in Mali, the 4.9Moz Tongon deposit in Côte d’Ivoire and the 3.7Moz Massawa deposit in eastern Senegal. Randgold Resources Limited (Randgold) financed and built the Morila mine which, since October 2000, has produced more than 6Moz of gold and distributed more than $2 billion to stakeholders. It also financed and built the Loulo operation which started as two open pit mines in November 2005. Since then, two underground mines have been developed at the Yalea and Gara deposits. The company’s Tongon mine in Côte d’Ivoire poured its first gold in November 2010. Production from the Gounkoto open pit operation, south of Loulo, began in 2011 and a recently completed feasibility study has confirmed the viability of an underground mine planned to start in 2018. In 2009, Randgold acquired a 45% interest in the Kibali project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Since the acquisition, Randgold’s geologists have been instrumental in more than doubling the mine’s ore reserves to 11Moz, making it one of the largest gold deposits in Africa. The mine was developed and is being operated by Randgold. First gold was poured in the third quarter of 2013. Randgold also has a major project at Massawa in Senegal and an extensive portfolio of organic growth prospects, supported by intensive exploration programmes in Côte d’Ivoire, DRC, Mali and Senegal.

The Loulo-Gounkoto complex is located in the west of Mali near the border with Senegal. Both the Loulo and Gounkoto mines are owned by Randgold (80%) and the State of Mali (20%).

Key 2015 numbersfor the 12 months ended 31 December

Randgold’s flagship operation currently comprises the Loulo underground mines, Yalea and Gara, and the Gounkoto open pit mine.

Production from open pit operations started at Loulo in 2005. This was followed by the development of the underground mines. Gounkoto, a greenfields discovery in 2009, poured its first gold in June 2011. The ore from Gounkoto is processed by the Loulo plant

under a tolling agreement. Based on current reserves, the complex has a scheduled Life of Mine to 2028.

Loulo-Gounkoto is now firmly established as a long life, high production operation. It will be reinforced by a new underground mine at Gounkoto, scheduled to reach full production in 2020. The complex is targeting gold production of 670 000oz in 2016.

moriLa GoLd mine

Morila is situated 280km south east of Bamako, the capital of Mali and is a joint venture between randgold (40%), angloGold ashanti (40%) and the State of Mali (20%). randgold has operated Morila since february 2008.

In 2009, Morila was converted to a stockpile treatment operation. Closure of the operation was originally scheduled for 2013 but a pit pushback, now complete, the tailings treatment project and the Domba project, could extend the life of mine to 2019.

Morila produced 122 374oz of gold in 2015 and is forecasting 89 795oz in 2016.

tonGon GoLd mine

The Tongon mine comprises two open pit operations, the Southern and Northern Zones, both of which have potential for more reserves.

The mine currently has a six year Life of Mine. In 2014 the geological model for the Southern Zone pit was updated, resulting in resource gains which replaced the reserves mined during the year. Tongon is targeting gold production of 290 000oz in 2016.

the tongon mine is located within the nielle exploration permit in the north of Côte d’lvoire, 55km south of the border with Mali. randgold owns 89% of the company, the State of Côte d’lvoire 10% and 1% is held by a local company.

kibaLi GoLd mineThe Kibali mine development in the DRC is the largest project undertaken to date by Randgold. With a reserve base of 11Moz, it ranks as one of the largest gold mines in Africa. Key 2015 numbers

for the 12 months ended 31 December

The mine is operated by Randgold and represents an investment of more than $2.5 billion by the partners. Kibali is targeting gold production of 610 000oz in 2016.

Kibali comprises 10 permits covering an area of about 1 836km² in the Moto goldfields of the north east DrC, some 560km north east of the city of Kisangani and 150km west of the ugandan border town of arua. Kibali is a joint venture between randgold (45%), angloGold ashanti (45%) and the Congolese parastatal SoKiMo (10%).

Production and forecast (000oz)

Kibali comprises an integrated open pit and underground operation as well as a 7.2Mtpa processing plant. The mine poured its first gold in Q4 2013 from open pit mining and is currently developing the underground mine via twin declines and a vertical shaft, with the handover of the vertical shaft scheduled in 2017. The project will ultimately be supplied by four hydropower stations supported by a thermal power station for low rainfall periods and as back-up.

Massawa lies 700km south east of the capital city of Dakar and 90km to the west of randgold’s loulo and Gounkoto mines across the border in Mali. randgold owns 83.25% of the project with a local company holding 6.75%. the State of Senegal will have a non-contributory 10% share of any mine developed on the property.

Resource trianglerandgold continues to maintain its focus on organic growth through discovery and development of world class orebodies and has a pipeline of high quality projects and exploration targets.

The initial prefeasibility study on the open pit reserves was compiled in 2010. A feasibility study is currently being progressed.

Exploration programmes are currently underway in four countries: Mali, Senegal, Côte d’ivoire, and the Democratic republic of Congo, where randgold has groundholdings of 13 912km²* hosting 141 targets.

Exploration and infill drilling continues to upgrade the geological confidence of the deposits near our mines, concentrating on resource definition and the discovery of mineable satellite ounces.

Randgold reports its mineral resources and mineral reserves in accordance with the JORC 2012 code and as such are reported to the second significant digit. These are equivalent to National Instrument 43-101 and the reporting of ore reserves is also in accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7. Open pit mineral resources consist of insitu mineral resources at a weighted average cut-off grade of 0.58g/t falling within a $1 500/oz optimised pit shell. Underground mineral resources are those mineral resources falling below the open pit resources reported at a weighted average cut-off of 1.66g/t. Open pit and underground ore reserves are economic at a gold price of $1 000/oz. Open pit reserves are calculated at a weighted average cut-off grade of 1.05g/t. Our underground reserves are calculated at a weighted average cut-off grade of 2.51g/t. Our TSF reserves at Morila are calculated at a 0.49g/t cut-off. Dilution and ore loss are incorporated into the calculation of reserves. Mineral resources are inclusive of ore reserves.
