ASHWORTH TO ASSIST OPPORTUNITY DEVELOPMENT AT RANDGOLD & EXPLORATION

London, 6 August 2003  -  David Ashworth has retired as a non-executive director
of Randgold Resources in order to assist Randgold & Exploration with the
development of new opportunities following that company's recent
re-establishment as an active, empowerment-orientated mining corporation.
Ashworth, a former financial director of Randgold Resources, retired last year
but remained on the boards of Randgold & Exploration and Randgold Resources as a
non-executive.

Randgold Resources chief executive Dr Mark Bristow said today Ashworth had
played a key role in the establishment and development of that company, among
other things arranging the finance for the Morila mine, and had continued to
provide it with sage counsel as a non-executive director.  "We'll miss his
contribution and we wish him well with his new challenges at Randgold &
Exploration," he said.
