FIRE AT TONGON PLANT
Tongon, Cote d'Ivoire, 26 December 2012 - Randgold Resources said
today production at its Tongon gold mine in Cote d'Ivoire had been
impacted by a fire in the mill section.
The fire started on 24 December during a planned shutdown for
repairs to the No 1 mill cyclone feed pipe. The fire then spread
upwards into the No 1 cyclone cluster and moved to the No 2 cyclone
cluster.
The fire has been fully extinguished and no injuries have been reported
but both cyclone clusters, flotation cells and blowers along with
associated infrastructure for both milling circuits suffered damage.
