          notification of a merger in terms of Chapter 3 of the Competition Act
          and shall take all reasonable steps and do all things reasonably
          required of it to procure fulfilment of the condition precedent in

          (together "THE SAVED CLAUSES") shall continue to be of force and
          effect but the remainder of this agreement shall never become
          effective (and for the purposes of clause 5.3 shall be deemed to have
          failed), provided that if the conditions precedent referred to in
          clause 3.1 have been fulfilled but the condition precedent referred to
          in clause 3.2 has not been fulfilled, clauses 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 shall
          be included in the saved clauses.

          the purchase price per sale share and the aggregate of all interest
          which shall have then accrued and been paid, if due and payable on the
          purchase price

                                                                             11.

          per sale share in terms of clauses 5 and 6, the purchase price per
          sale share shall, if the seller shall have made an election in terms
          of clause 5.7 to apply the provisions of clause 5.4, be deemed to have
          been increased by 50% of the amount of such excess and the purchaser
          shall pay the seller in cash an amount equal to 50% of such excess
          multiplied by the number of sale shares forthwith after the commitment
          to make such acquisition or sale, or the scheme is sanctioned by the
          court in terms of the Act, or such offer becomes unconditional and
          closes or after the excess is determined in accordance with clause
          5.4.4, as the case may be, provided that:

5.4.3          if the consideration payable for the acquisition or offer or
               scheme or sale:

5.4.3.1             comprises shares only, the price per ordinary share of the
                    company for the purposes of determining the excess shall be
                    that share price used or disclosed for the purposes of the
                    offer or scheme, including any increase in the offer or
                    scheme consideration, as the case may be;

5.4.3.2             comprises an alternative of cash or a share consideration,
                    the price per ordinary share of the company for the purposes
                    of determining the excess shall be the higher of such
                    alternative (if the alternative consideration is for shares,
                    the consideration shall be determined mutatis mutandis in
                    accordance with the provisions of clause 5.4.3.1);

5.4.3.3             comprises partly cash and partly shares, the price per
                    ordinary share of the company for the purposes of
                    determining the excess shall be the aggregate of the face
                    value of the cash portion and value of the shares
                    (determined mutatis mutandis in accordance with the
                    provisions of clause 5.4.3.1);

5.4.4          if the methods used for determining the excess are not
               appropriate, in the view of the seller or purchaser, then, on the
               delivery of a written notice by either the seller or the
               purchaser to the other and to KPMG Incorporated accountants
               ("KPMG") demanding determination of the excess, the excess shall
               be determined by KPMG, acting as experts and not as arbitrators
               and whose determination shall, in the absence of manifest error,
               be final and binding on the parties.

5.5       If the purchaser accepts any offer (as defined in 5.4.2) after the
          closing date, receives the consideration payable in terms of the offer
          ("OFFER CONSIDERATION") and if the offer consideration comprises:

5.5.1          shares only, the purchaser may elect to pay 50% of the excess by
               the transfer to the seller of such number of such shares as shall
               be equal in value to 50% of such excess by not later than 3
               business days after the purchaser shall have received the offer
               consideration. If the purchaser does not make such an election,
               50% of the excess will be paid in cash by no later than 3
               business days after the purchaser has received the offer
               consideration; or

5.5.2          partly shares and partly cash, in which case the seller will
               calculate and notify the purchaser of the ratio that the cash
               portion of the offer consideration bears to the share portion
               ("THE RATIO") and the purchaser may then elect to pay 50% of the
               excess partly in cash and partly in shares and in the same
               proportion as the ratio by not later than 3 business days after
               the later of the receipt of the notification from the seller or 3
               business days after the purchaser has received the offer
               consideration. If the purchaser does not make such an election,
               50% of the excess will be paid in cash by no later than 3
               business days after the purchaser has received the offer
               consideration; and

5.5.3          cash only, 50% of the excess shall be paid in cash by not later
               than 3 business days after the purchaser shall have received the
               offer consideration; and;

5.5.4          an alternative of cash or a share consideration then 50% of the
               excess shall be paid in cash by not later than 3 business days
               after the purchaser shall have received the offer consideration.

          It is specifically recorded that the seller shall bear any stamp duty
          or uncertificated securities tax or brokerage fees in respect of the
          transfer to it of such shares as shall constitute 50% of the excess or
          a portion of 50% of the excess.

5.6       The provisions of clause 5.4 shall not apply:

5.6.1          to any corporate restructuring in terms whereof:

                                                                             13.

5.6.1.1             the controlling parties shall subsequent to such
                    restructuring hold whether directly or indirectly 75% or
                    more of the issued share capital of the company and the
                    remaining interest is beneficially owned and controlled by
                    HDSA participants; or

5.6.1.2             the whole of the business and/or the assets shall be
                    acquired by the controlling parties;

5.6.2          any acquisition or sale by any of the controlling parties of
               ordinary shares on the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa, as
               part of their normal business of trading in the company's shares
               or into a level one sponsored American Depository Receipt
               Programme in respect of the ordinary shares, provided that the
               aggregate holding of the controlling parties at any time shall
               not, as a consequence of any such sale or acquisition, increase
               or decrease by more than 1% of the issued ordinary share capital
               of the company as at the signature date or if the rights offer
               occurs, the rights offer date;

5.6.3          any ordinary shares which are the subject of a bona fide scrip
               lending arrangement to which any of the controlling parties is a
               party, provided that the aggregate holding of the controlling
               parties shall not, as a consequence of any such arrangement,
               increase or decrease by more than 4% of the issued ordinary share
               capital of the company as at the signature date and if the rights
               offer occurs, on the rights offer date.

5.7       The purchaser shall forthwith notify the seller in writing of any
          proposed acquisition, sale, offer or scheme contemplated in 5.4 and
          provide full details thereof. The seller shall within 14 business days
          of such notification (or without prejudice to the seller's rights, if
          the purchaser fails to so notify the seller, at any time after such
          proposed acquisition, sale, offer or scheme comes to the attention of
          the seller) inform the purchaser in writing whether it elects that the
          provisions of clause 5.4 shall apply or not. If the seller fails to
          make such election it shall be deemed to have elected that the
          provisions of 5.4 shall not apply. If the seller shall have elected or
          be deemed to have elected that the provisions of 5.4 shall not apply
          then the seller shall not be precluded from again claiming an
          adjustment of the purchase price in terms of clauses 5.4 and this 5.7
          (and the purchaser shall be obliged to again comply with the
          provisions of this clause 5.7). Should the seller elect that the

                                                                             14.

          provisions of 5.4 shall apply and if the seller has been paid the
          excess in terms of 5.4 the seller shall not be entitled to claim a
          further adjustment of the purchase price in terms of 5.4. If there is
          a proposed offer, sale, scheme or acquisition whilst any of the
          conditions precedent have not been fulfilled, the provisions of this
          clause 5.7 shall nevertheless apply and an amount equal to 50% of the
          excess, if any, will be paid by the purchaser in cash on the closing
          date, if the seller elects that the provisions of clause 5.4 shall
          apply.

5.8       In the event that the purchaser shall have sold the option shares, or
          any of them ("THE SOLD SHARES") to Chestnut in terms of and/or
          pursuant to the option agreement and after Chestnut and Randgold shall
          have discharged all their respective obligations due on or before the
          closing date under this agreement and the consortium sale agreement to
          the seller and the sold shares have been released from the pledge, the
          provisions of this clause 5 shall, with effect from the date of the
          release of the sold shares from the pledge not apply to the sold
          shares, it being recorded, for the avoidance of doubt, that in terms
          of the consortium sale agreement, Chestnut shall be obliged to pay to
          Anglo an amount in respect of the sold shares determined in accordance
          with clause 5 of the consortium sale agreement.

6.        INTEREST

          Interest on the purchase price shall accrue at prime plus 150 basis
          points from 1 April 2004 to the date of the payment of the purchase
          price and interest in terms of 5.1, both days inclusive.

7.        SECURITY ACCOUNT

          The purchaser shall on or before the closing date deliver to the
          seller an irrevocable undertaking from the purchaser's CSDP to:

7.1       record, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the seller, on the
          closing date, the pledge on the security account in terms of the
          Custody and Administration of Securities Act, 1992 (Act 85 of 1992)
          (as amended from time to time) and rules of the purchaser's CSDP; and

7.2       give effect to the provisions of the pledge in accordance with its
          terms on the instructions of Anglo and, without limitation, to
          transfer the pledged shares to

                                                                             15.

          any purchaser thereof without reference to Randgold, if such transfer
          shall be pursuant to the exercise by Anglo of its rights in terms of
          the pledge.

8.        CLOSING

          On the closing date, representatives of the parties shall meet at
          10h00 at the offices of Webber Wentzel Bowens, 10 Fricker Road,

8.1       the seller shall deliver to the purchaser a copy of an irrevocable and
          unconditional written instruction to the seller's CSDP to effect
          transfer of the sale shares into the security account;

8.2       the seller's attorney shall pay to the seller the trust funds; and

8.3       the purchaser shall deliver to the seller the pledge executed by it
          together with all such documents, in a form reasonably satisfactory to
          the seller, necessary to enable the seller to exercise its rights in
          terms of the pledge.

9.        BREACH

          Should either party ("THE DEFAULTING PARTY") commit a breach of any of
          the provisions hereof (other than a failure of the purchaser to pay
          the purchase price plus interest in accordance with the provisions of
          5.1 for which no notice will be required), then the other party ("THE
          AGGRIEVED PARTY") shall, if it wishes to enforce its rights hereunder,
          be obliged to give the defaulting party 7 days written notice to
          remedy the breach. If no notice is required in respect of any breach,
          or if the defaulting party fails to comply with such notice, the
          aggrieved party shall be entitled to cancel this agreement against the
          defaulting party or to claim immediate payment and/or performance by
          the defaulting party of all of the defaulting party's obligations
          whether or not the due date for payment and/or performance shall have
          arrived, in either event without prejudice to the aggrieved party's
          rights to claim damages. The foregoing is without prejudice to such
          other rights as the aggrieved party may have at law or in terms of
          this agreement.

10.       UNDERTAKINGS

10.1      Subject to clause 10.2, the seller hereby irrevocably and
          unconditionally undertakes not to follow its rights in terms of the
          rights offer.

<PAGE>

                                                                             16.

10.2      If either this agreement or the consortium sale agreement, or both
          this agreement and the consortium sale agreement is/are cancelled or
          is/are terminated or is/are not completed (collectively
          "CANCELLATION") for any reason whatsoever by their respective closing
          dates, the purchaser shall, if the seller so requires by written
          notice delivered to the purchaser by not later than 30 business days
          after cancellation ("PURCHASE DATE") of either this agreement or the
          consortium sale agreement or both this agreement and the consortium
          sale agreement and against simultaneous payment in immediately
          available funds, without set-off or deduction of the rights offer
          price of R30,50 per share together with interest thereon, procure,
          forthwith after receipt of such notice, that so many shares in the
          company are transferred to the seller as are specified in the notice
          ("THE RIGHTS OFFER SHARES") but limited to 2 375 913 ordinary shares
          in the company. The purchase price for such shares shall be R30,50 per
          share and such price shall attract interest at prime for the period
          from 5 days following the latest possible date that the seller would
          have been required to pay for those shares in terms of the rights
          offer to date of payment by the seller to the purchaser in terms of
          this clause 10.2, both days inclusive. All costs of transferring those
          shares to the seller including any stamp duty or uncertificated
          securities, tax or brokerage fees shall be for the account of the
          purchaser.

10.3      The purchaser gives the seller the same warranties in respect of the
          rights offer shares as are given by the seller to the purchaser in
          terms of 11 of this agreement for which purpose "the date of
          signature" referred to in 11 shall be replaced by the date of purchase
          of the shares in terms of this clause 10.3.

11.       WARRANTIES

11.1      The seller warrants that on the date of signature hereof and on the
          closing date:

11.1.1         it will be entitled to give free and unencumbered title of the
               sale shares to the purchaser, which shall acquire the sale shares
               free of any charge, lien and/or encumbrance; and

11.1.2         it will be the beneficial owner of the sale shares.

11.2      No warranties or representations, express or tacit, which are not set

          agreement, nor shall it operate so as to preclude such party
          thereafter from exercising its rights strictly in accordance with this
