Randgold Resources Ltd NASDAQ:GOLD Basic Materials : Gold & Silver Mid Cap Growth Based in UK - Jersey. $105.32 (August 16, 2011)
Randgold Resources Limited is engaged in gold mining, exploration and related activities. As of December 31, 2010, the Company's activities were focused on West and Central Africa. In Mali, the Company has an 80% interest in the Loulo mine, through Somilo SA. The Company also owns a 50% interest in Morila Limited, which in turn owns an 80% interest in Morila SA, the owner of the Morila mine in Mali. In addition, it owns an 89% interest in the Tongon mine located in the neighboring country of Cote d'Ivoire, which was commissioned in November 2010. Randgold Resources Limited owns an 83.25% interest in the Massawa project in Senegal. It also has exploration permits and licenses, covering areas in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali and Senegal. As of December 31, 2010, it had proven and probable reserves of 16.39 million ounces attributable to its percentage ownership interests in Loulo, Morila, Tongon, Gounkoto, Massawa and Kibali.
As we noted in last year’s annual report, 2010 was a year in which Randgold would have to deal with a wide range of operational and developmental issues as it
continued its rapid growth into a complex and multi-faceted mining business. That it has improved its profit - to the extent that the board has been able to proposean 18% increase in the dividend - and kept the progress of its projects on track in very difficult circumstances is a tribute to Mark Bristow and his team. Once again, Randgold has shown that its real strength is its people - people whose skills, tenacity, commitment and courage form the foundation for building a sustainable business.
