JERSEY, CHANNEL ISLANDS / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2018 / Randgold Resources has noted that the actions of a youth
movement in the town of Kenieba in western Mali resulted in the destruction of property belonging to the local authorities and the
Malian government. Kenieba is located 17 kilometres from Randgold's Gounkoto mine and the operation employs more than 300 people
from the town. The company regrets the use of violence against individuals and institutions that are part of Gounkoto's wider
community. Its information is that the government is taking appropriate measures to address the situation.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this news release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933
and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of gold, the estimation of mineral
reserves and resources, the realisation of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs
of production, reserve determination and reserve conversion rates. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of forward-looking terminology such as 'will', 'plans', 'expects' or 'does not expect', 'is expected', 'budget',
'scheduled', 'estimates', 'forecasts', 'intends', 'anticipates' or 'does not anticipate', or 'believes', or variations of such
words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results 'may', 'could', 'would', 'might' or 'will be taken', 'occur'
or 'be achieved'. Assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based are in turn based on factors and events that
are not within the control of Randgold Resources Limited ('Randgold') and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual
results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Randgold to be materially different from those expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: risks related to mining operations, including political risks and
instability and risks related to international operations, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of
economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, as well as those factors discussed in
Randgold's filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'). Although Randgold has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there
may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Randgold does not undertake to
update any forward-looking statements herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US
INVESTORS: The SEC permits companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proven and probable ore reserves. We use
certain terms in this release, such as 'resources', that the SEC does not recognise and strictly prohibits us from including in
our filings with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any parts of our resources will ever be converted
into reserves which qualify as 'proven and probable reserves' for the purposes of the SEC's Industry Guide number 7.
