Barrick Gold To Become Pangea Goldfields' Partner On
Golden Ridge Deposit In Tanzania - Randgold Sells Its
Interest in 1.6 Million Ounce Gold Deposit to Barrick
Gold -

TORONTO, CANADA--Pangea Goldfields Inc. announced today that
joint-venture partner Randgold Resources Limited has agreed to
sell its 50 percent interest in the Golden Ridge gold deposit in
Tanzania to Barrick Gold Corporation. This purchase by Barrick
Gold follows its recent offer to acquire Sutton Resources Ltd.,
owner of the nearby Bulyanhulu deposit which has a resource of 8.8
million ounces of gold.

The Golden Ridge deposit contains a total gold resource of 1.6
million ounces as calculated by Randgold, to a maximum depth of
120 meters. The orebody is open at depth and the potential exists
to expand the resource on other untested targets such as the Siga
Hills area where trenching returned gold grades up to 21 grams per
tonne over five meters.

J.C. Potvin, President and C.E.O. of Pangea said: "Golden Ridge
should benefit from this transaction given the obvious synergies
created by the construction of the milling facility and the
general infrastructure for the Bulyanhulu deposit, which is
located only 30 kilometres away."

Under the terms of the original Pangea/Randgold agreement which
Barrick Gold will now assume, Randgold could earn a 65 percent
interest in the project by completing a bankable feasibility study
by September 2000. The transaction, financial terms of which were
not disclosed, is subject to due diligence and regulatory
approval.
