10:21GMT 11Nov2009-Randgold up on gold rally, bullish comments

--------------------------------------------------------------

Shares in gold miner Randgold Resources (RRS.L) rise more than 5 percent to an all-time high after gold rallies and Randgold's shares bounce back from a dip following Tuesday's announcement of lower-than-expected quarterly profit.

"Gold is up and Randgold is the only pure player on gold in the FTSE," says Tom Gidley-Kitchin, an analyst with Charles Stanley, maintaining its "hold" recommendation.
