Kibali…building blocks

Sept 2009…Randgold Resources acquired Moto Goldmines in a public international auction and entered into a JV with AngloGold Ashanti with a combined holding of 70% - the remaining 30% held by OKIMO2009…Randgold Resources/AngloGold Ashanti JV acquired an additional 20% from SOKIMO based on the value of the Moto transaction plus a 10% transaction premium ($9.6 million) as well as a social premium ($8.0 million)2010…feasibility study was updated and reserves were more than doubled to over 10m ounces of gold as predicted in Randgold’ s bidding model and shared with government ahead of bidMar 2010…Formal notice was given to illegal miners and alternate work programme startedJul 2010…MOU signed with Catholic Church and executed with SOKIMO in Jan 2011Nov 2010…Aru-Doko road completedFeb 2011…Established Kokiza for resettlementAugust 2011…Revised Feasibility tabled with partners October 2011… Construction startedMay 2012… Partners sign Feasibility off as basis for investment

The Kibali acquisition…some of our contracts with the Government

The Moto transaction was preceded with a written approval from Government regarding the proposed transaction

The 20% Sokimo transaction were characterized by the following separate agreements with Government:

A Cabinet minute whereby the DRC Government certifies that no new legislation is being considered where the tenure and tax position described in the current Mining Code will be changed

A specific stability Clause in the 20% Agreement allowing for complete tax and fiscal stability for at least 10 years after the current Mining Code may be changed

An agreement based on UN principles regulating the actions of the DRC Army in the event of armed conflict in the area

Important notes on Human Rights…

Randgold has implemented a Human Rights Policy for the group. Policy aligned with International Labour Organisation (ILO), United

Nations Global Compact and Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights

All security personnel at Kibali and gendarmes posted to the area have been trained on the United Nations Voluntary Principles

Have a code of conduct agreement with the authorities All employees are made aware of Human Rights through the site

induction process Although no indigenous peoples (as defined by the IFC) are affected

by the project, policy and practise takes cognisance of these unique rights

Grievance mechanism categories Human Rights grievances separately from others to facilitate appropriate response

Phase 2 capital programme is estimatedat US$650m before escalation provisionsand contingencies which will runconcurrently with Phase 1 but will extendover four years, is focused primarily onthe underground development andincludes a twin decline and vertical shaftsystem as well as three hydropowerstations. This is expected to bring theunderground into first production by theend of 2014, with steady state productiontargeted for the end of 2015.

Estimated costs in US$ million before escalation contingencies and provisions

Phase 1 capital programme is estimatedat US$920m before escalation provisionsand contingencies and will cover themetallurgical facility, one hydropowerstation and back-up thermal powerfacility, construction of the tailings storagefacility, relocation of villages, open pitmining and all shared infrastructure. Thiswill run over a two year period.

What are we building?...our power strategy

Supply concept is a hybrid arrangement

Peak power

Deliver peak power on the available river schemes average flows

Dry season low flow power

Maximize the number of stations supplying to maximize the power available in the low flow periods.

Diesel back-up generation

For start-up of shaft winder and Met Plant

Initially provide dry season make-up power from high speed diesel units

Substitute (diesel generation) with smaller hydro stations as overall power demand grows

Our plan…the supply of power via hydro

Resettlement (RAP)…

PurposeAllow the development of the project

Guidelines and benchmarkIFC guidelines and DRC laws

ProcessIssuance of a moratorium by the DRC Government in 2010Comprehensive surveys completed (household count, socio economic baseline studies, health impact assessment, Env & Social Impact Assessment, agricultural survey)Consultation with affected partiesResettlement Action Plan – RAP document Consultants (locals and international ) facilitating the process as independent parties

Key figures– 4232 households – 14 schools– 2 clinics, 5 health posts and 2

dispensaries – +/- 17,000 people– +/- 3000 graves– 39 worship places– 5 markets– 7 soccer fields and 1 volley field

RAP Consultation process– Democratic election of the

Resettlement Working Group – RWG-: 56 elected representatives to serve as medium for consultation

– Each of the 14 villages represented and each social group (youth, women, male, sages)

Completion: July 2013

Resettlement & community…

900 ha of farming land to be handed over

• Production of food and distribution to each resettled family for 30 days

• Selection of 20 to 40 farmers out of initial group

• Establishment of the cooperative

• Training and start of farming

• Involvement of trainee students and local consultants

• Identification of agri-mind villagers; average 80 per village

Resettlement & community…

Impact of the project on communitiesChanged the local economy from artisanal mining into a vibrant and dynamic society

Direct impact on local economy: $ 5.5 m (April 2010 to July 2012) spent on purchase of aggregate and sand

Direct spending on community projects: $ 5.2 m (2010 to July 2012)

Development of an established agri-economy with establishment of agribusinesses and cooperatives

RAP construction, mainly undertaken by local companies after intensive training

Opening of the area to the outside world with roadsDoko-Aru: 180km; Aru-Ariwara: 45 km; Doko-Nzoro: 40km; Kokiza internal roads: 110km

Price drops due to road development: eg. Tomato paste (-25%); Sugar (-17%); soap (-40%); batteries (-42%)

Partnerships and opportunities…

Partnership and opportunities5263 employees (nationals)

7 Congolese contractors (RAP) employing a combined 2100 workers

50 000 bricks per day

60 houses per week

2 Congolese contractors awarded contracts for road maintenance

350 km of road maintenance per annum with an annual budget of $3.5 million

The Kibali execution strategy…the Randgold way

Establish a strong in country team will enable execution under tight deadlines:

Camp management

Labour coordination

Government (local and National) relations

Establish three focus areas with specific Owners Teams reporting to RRL Project Executive :

Mining (Open pit and UG)

Metallurgical and Infrastructure

RAP

Weekly review of performance of all contractors against defined dates and Feasibility

The Kibali execution strategy….

On-going engagement with Government on all matters in a transparent way:

Quarterly feedback meetings with appropriate Ministers with written feedback against agreed performance objectives

Quarterly open press conferences as part of Public Participation

On-going Public Participation through:

Open press days

Monthly phone in radio programs

Actively developing local supply relationships where all relationships make commercial sense

Actively manage and measure logistics – weekly measurement of all parameters with logistics contractors

Actively staffing locally

Facilitate Corporate buy inn:

Monthly Oversight Meetings between Partners

Monthly RRL review meetings

Operational readiness

Key staff (local and expatriate) is being appointed as we speak. May already appointedPotential operators are being tested by means of psychometric tests from current contract labour in construction.End of Q1 and Q2 chosen operators will be send to our plants in West Africa to undergo on the job trainingDRA contracted to assist not only with commissioning, but also with training of key staff after formal commissioning and sign of plantWe follow the tried and tested RRL recipe of expatriate employment only when a local cant be found, and then the expatriate will be shadowed by a local to learn and ultimately take over.We draw heavily from the mining and plant skill base in Katanga –but concentrate on staff working at leading mining companies not State enterprises
