1 Randgold Resources… delivering profits, growth and new opportunities Denver Gold Forum, September 2008

2 Scorecard… Increased profits by 96% year on year Mined first ore from Yalea underground mine at Loulo Taken over management of Morila mine Commenced building of Tongon mine in Côte d’Ivoire Discovered Massawa deposit in Senegal Have grown reserves by 10%

3 Exploiting prospectivity of the West African gold belts… Massawa discovery Loulo gold mine Morila gold mine Kiaka deposit Tongon development project Mali BurkinaFaso Ghana Senegal Côted’Ivoire Faraba deposit Bamako

4 Profitable production is integral to value creation and return on capital invested… Mali BurkinaFaso Ghana Senegal Côted’Ivoire Loulo Gold Mine Profits …cumulated to date Oz 000s $ millions Production …cumulated to date Oz millions Production …cumulated to date Morila Gold Mine Profits …cumulated to date $ millions Loulo Morila

5 Loulo Gold Mine… A significant investment in a gold belt with enormous potential Proven and probable reserves at 7.4 Moz First ore from underground stopes heralds shift to higher grades Forecast increase in gold production ameliorates future cost pressures Millenium infrastructure projects to deliver further efficiencies Loulo Loulodistrict Faraba P64 Yalea Gara Loulo 3 Loulo 1 Baboto Gold deposits and targets Bambadji Dalema Bena Loulo Toronto Loulo 2 Kolya

The Government’s share is not a free carried interest. Randgold Resources has funded the Government portion of the investment in Loulo by way of shareholder loans and therefore controls 100% of the cashflows from Loulo until the shareholder loans are repaid. 12 months ended 31 Dec 2007 2 654 3.3 93.2 264 647 612 337 372 162 154 63 598

7 Loulo…Yalea underground mine Record advance of 1 048 metres achieved for Q2 2008 First stoping ore production started from 28 level Development commenced at secondary P125 decline Conveyor installation in progress and should be finalised in third quarter +28L Tabaski decline +12L access First stoping Declines are here Yalea pit Yalea underground Boxcut

8 Loulo…Yalea mine starts production from stoping operations

9 Loulo…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

10 Morila Gold Mine… Capital repaid and future cash flow is significant New ‘back to basics’ approach under the operatorship of Randgold Resources Higher input prices offset by increased production over past 5 months Six months of in pit mining remain Focus is on reengineering the business in time for the shift to dump retreatment next year Resource drilling will continue during next quarter Morila

11 Morila Gold Mine…operational results Ore milled (t 000s) Ore grade milled (g/t) Recovery % Ounces produced Average price received (US$/oz) Cash operating costs (US$/oz) Total cash costs (US$/oz) Attributable (40%): Ounces produced Gold sales (US$000) Profit from mining activity (US$000) 6 months ended 30 Jun 2008 12 months ended 31 Dec 2007 2 096 3.5 92.2 214 746 907 339 395 85 898 77 916 43 960 4 163 3.7 91.6 449 815 710 282 332 179 926 127 687 67 925
