A large unrefined gold bar sits on a workbench during processing at the Kibali gold mine, operated by Randgold Resources Ltd., in Kibali, Democratic Republic of Congo, on Friday, Oct. 17, 2014. Randgold and AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. gained control of the Kibali mine by acquiring Moto Goldmines Ltd. in 2009 and is forecast to produce about 600,000 ounces of gold a year.
