Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in the exhibits incorporated by reference herein, as well as oral statements that may be made by Randgold & Exploration or by officers, directors or employees acting on its behalf related to such information, constitute or are based on “forward-looking statements” regarding Randgold & Exploration’s operations, economic performance and financial condition, within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, specifically Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements.” This includes those concerning the economic outlook for the mining industry, expectations regarding commodity prices, the completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of Randgold & Exploration’s exploration and production investments, its liquidity and capital resources and its expenditures. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ materially from those implied by or set out in the forward-looking statements. Among other factors, this could be as a result in changes in economic and market conditions, the success of business and operating initiatives, including development of mining operations, changes in regulatory environment and other government actions, fluctuations in commodity prices and exchange rates, business and operational risk management and the risks identified in Item 3 of Randgold & Exploration’s most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its other filings and submissions with the SEC.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
