Good to see Katie had a change of mind...she's obviously looking further than the reflection in her powder compact......Morning Thistle................ROFL

RW......"Slight increase in SP to kick off, followed by growth in SP ( and production) as the year progresses"....I reckon...moistened the index finger of the right hand...held it vertically, and detected no adverse affect.....now thats anal asys for you....oops....didnt see the space until after I pressed "Post"...wink wink

The two companies have teamed up to design, manufacture and deliver ten hydropower turbines to Randgold Resources, in Kibali, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The hydropower plant, which is set for commissioning in 2016, will be developed in four stages. Stage one comprises the refurbishment of an 800 kVA hydropower plant; stage two, the supply and installation of four new Francis double turbines, with an output of 25 MVA; stage three, the supply and installation of four Kaplan turbines, with an output of 22 MVA; and stage four, the supply and installation of two Kaplan turbines, with an output of 10 MVA. This contract ties RRS into the economies of France ( who are intervening in Mali), South Africa....mineral rich and Brazil....emerging nation re exploration and explotation of Brazil resources???

Somwhere in the back of my memory, I remember a story about such a mill being proposed for "central" Africa, which would not only serve the milling purposes of the developer ( Randgold ?) but would be centrally located with excellent rail links from an adjoining nation, whose ore would probably be shipped there for milling. If such a deal is announced by Randgold, its another few points on the SP.

Development of the giant Kibali gold project in the Democratic Republic of Congo has achieved another significant advance with the arrival on site of the two giant ball mills which will form the heart of its metallurgical plant. Kibali will be one of the largest gold mines in Africa when it goes into production at the end of next year. The two European-built 7 megawatt mills, each weighing 170 tonnes, were transported in six sections initially from Antwerp and then by road from the port of Mombasa in Kenya through Uganda to Doko in the northeast of the DRC, a trip of 1 800 kilometres which took some six weeks. The mills, which are scheduled to be set on their foundations at the plant early next year, are capable of a combined annual throughput of 7.2 million tonnes of ore. Old news, but worth remembering???

The only fly in the ointment is a fact, and an opinion based on the fact, made by a reasonably sharp and experienced mining analyst..Katie. The fact...the fire at Tongon...followed by site visit by Kate, who said "Kate Craig, analyst at Liberum Capital, retained a "hold" on the stock, but added: "The fire at Tongon comes at the end of a challenging year at the mine which has seen production guidance fall from 285,000 ounces at the start of the year. In effect, the fire allows management to kitchen sink the unresolved issues at Tongon. We expect the plant to be up and running within 10 days in a slightly limited capacity, ie lower throughput and recoveries into the first quarter of 2013." Why run with Kate?....a trained Geologist, turned analyst. I may be mistaken, but I cant call her judgement into question. So, where will it go, the 4th qtr report....couched in terms of....we didnt make target for the end of year, not due to poor management nor lack of quality ore, but due to output having been reduced due to the time loss suffered as a result of the fire at Tongon. With that matter now resolved, and output likely to increase due to Kibala coming onstream, 2013 will see improvement in ounces produced, with full production scheduled for 2014. Slight increase in SP to kick off, followed by growth in SP ( and production) as the year progresses.

Agreed for the entries showing in here....however, http://www.digitallook.com/cgi-bin/dlmedia/security.cgi?csi=13344&action=trades&sub_action=latest&username=&ac= shows them as NT...Negotiated Trades....shorts....time will tell which site has the most accurate info???

To the value of £1.1million + moved in after UT.......hope they get roasted ! ! ! !

Have a good weekend all......7am Monday for RNS and onto the broker by phone at 0750 for premarket buy....fingers crossed.

Being bought in blocks of 2, 3 6 and 8k since 4 oclock.....

When it breaks 62......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzooom

Randgold Resources (LSE: RRS), the Africa-based gold miner, starts the week off with annual results for the year to December on Monday. And they're expected to be decent, with a 14% rise in earnings per share currently expected by City pundits. And if forecasts are to be believed, we should see nice earnings growth over the next two years too.
