Highlights of Q1 2008… Net profit up 25% on previous quarter in spite of industry cost pressures Morila delivers satisfactory performance but reduces production guidance for the year Loulo delivers strong production to support annual group forecast Yalea underground development intersects orebody and first development ore delivered to plant Continued infill drilling at Tongon delivers a 52% increase in reserves Equity participation in Tongon project increased to 81% Initial results from a metre drilling programme confirm significant mineralisation at Massawa Exploration drilling to focus on three advanced targets
Loulo Gold Mine… the company flagship Production maintained in line with current mine plan Profit from mining increases in spite of higher cash costs Additional tonnes mined continues to add to mining flexibility ahead of the rainy season Orebody intersected at Yalea underground and first development ore delivered to processing plant

Yalea underground intersects orebody… On schedule to establish mining faces by midyear Targeting steady state production by year end Plan to access ‘purple patch’ by second half of 2009 Short term focus on integrating underground mining team into Loulo operation Yalea boxcut P125 pit Yalea orebody We are here
Gara underground mine development on schedule… Busy with final selection of portal position Focus is on balancing conveying distance, development metres and ground conditions with life of mine operating costs Development to commence January 2009 Steady state production targeted for 2011 Conceptual Gara underground development Gara pit
Morila Gold Mine…focus on operational efficiencies Randgold Resources takes over operatorship on 15 February and completes on site due diligence audit Higher than planned grades compensate for lower throughput caused by poor plant availability Revised orebody model suggests lower tonnage at lower grades Production guidance for 2008 reduced to ounces Advanced grade control drilling prioritised to enable life of mine reserves and plan Focus is on increasing plant availability and throughput Exploration to develop new targets for drill testing in Q4
