It was formed that year at the behest of Mother Teresa. th Stirred by her example, the Institute has always The 24 A nnual held fast to an ideal: most problems can be solved if human beings truly care for one another. The Institute celebrates heroic people for their selfless service, especially to the dying, disabled, and disad- vantaged. The dedication of these unselfish people to public service uplifts us all and ennobles the human race. The Institute is committed to spreading the caring credo: you can do well by doing good. To reinforce this standard, we continue to broadcast a message of social responsibility. It comes from our belief that one person, with the heart and will, can make a positive difference in the world. Benefactors Platinum Sponsors Kathleen M.

    RANDGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED Incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands Reg. No. 62686 LSE Trading Symbol: RRS Nasdaq Trading Symbol: GOLD FOCUS ON DELIVERY AS RANDGOLD RESOURCES ADVANCES NEW GROWTH PROJECTS London, 6 May 2010 - Randgold Resources has started mining at its new Tongon project in the Côte d’Ivoire and has also initiated the development of the second underground mine at its Loulo complex in Mali in line with its growth plan designed to boost attributable production to 1.2 million ounces in 2014. In a tough operational quarter, the company also made significant progress with the key issues related to the development of the Kibali project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and continued to advance the feasibility studies on the Gounkoto project in Mali and the Massawa project in Senegal. During the past quarter, the previous quarter’s record throughput at Loulo took its toll on the plant in terms of a rise in wear rates and a consequent increase in downtime. This, together with plant breakdowns at Morila, had a negative impact on throughput and therefore on gold production, unit costs and net profit for the quarter. Attributable production of 112 663 ounces and profit of US$23.9 million, while down on the previous quarter’s record results, were nevertheless significantly up on the corresponding quarter in 2009. Chief executive Mark Bristow said that in spite of the time spent on remedial measures at Loulo, the company had continued to make solid progress on all its strategic objectives during the period. “Tongon wins the prize for performance this quarter, with our capital projects team staying ahead of the development schedule and within budget.
