Randgold Resources reports its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC code. The reporting of Ore
Reserves is also in accordance with Industry Guide 7.
Pit optimisation is carried out at a gold price of US$475/oz; underground reserves are also based on a gold price of US$475/oz.
Dilution and ore loss are incorporated into the calculation of reserves.
Cautionary note to US investors: The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ( the "SEC" ) permits mining companies,
in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce.
Randgold Resources uses certain terms in this annual report, such as "resources" that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit the company
from including in its filings with the SEC.
