ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
APPENDIX 4E: PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
INCOME STATEMENT
Resolute Mining Limited announces a net profit after tax attributable to its members for the year ended 30 June 2007 of $170.2m (year ended 30 June 2006: $77.4m loss).
The record profit can be attributed to the $175.0m after tax profit derived on the sale of the Company’s Valhalla Uranium Limited, Paladin Resources Limited and Goldbelt Resources Limited shareholdings. The majority of this gain is a result of the successful move in December 2005 to spin out the Company’s key uranium assets into a separate listed entity, and the subsequent sale of this interest.
The group’s gross profit from continuing operations for year was $4.2m (2006: $25.3m).
The group’s gold production for the year was 255,942 ounces (2006: 290,749 ounces) at an average cash cost of $634/oz (2006: $518/oz). The Golden Pride gold mine in Tanzania, Africa, produced 138,421 ounces (2006: 145,043 ounces) of gold at a cash cost of $510/oz (or US$403/oz) (2006: $418/oz or US$312/oz) and the Ravenswood gold mine in Queensland, Australia, produced 117,521 ounces (2006: 145,706 ounces) of gold at a cash cost of $781/oz (or US$617/oz) (2006: $617/oz or US$461/oz).
The consolidated operating result has been adversely impacted by increases in all input costs. As well, there have been mining and processing issues experienced at both of the group’s gold mines. Whilst action plans to resolve these issues have been implemented, it has resulted in lower gold production and higher cash costs per ounce (compared to the corresponding period) than expected.
The average accounting revenue price achieved per ounce of gold shipped during the year increased marginally to $686/oz (2006: $657/oz).

CASH AND BORROWINGS
As at 30 June 2007, Resolute had $67.8m of cash and bullion. As well as this cash balance, Resolute is expecting reimbursement from the Syama mining contractor of US$18.7m (or $22.1m) once the mining contract is signed. Additionally, Resolute held $13.5m of liquid investments. Borrowings at period end totalled $7.7m. The group’s balance sheet has strengthened considerably and at 30 June 2007, the consolidated net assets were $264.6m, which is a significant increase from the $83.7m at 30 June 2006.
The significant increase during the year in cash balances and net assets was due to the receipt of $199.5m of cash proceeds on the sale of the group’s Valhalla Uranium Limited / Paladin Resources Limited and Goldbelt Resources Limited shareholdings.
To better optimise the use of funds, a decision was made to accelerate the repayment of borrowings, and so during the year there was a reduction in borrowings of $26.6m.
Additionally, the following significant investing cash outflows occurred during the year:
-
Exploration expenditure of $15.3m;
-
Mt Wright development expenditure of $24.8m;
-
Syama mine redevelopment expenditure of $35.6m;
-
Syama power station expenditure of $6.3m;
-
Syama mining fleet costs of $29.5m; and;
-
other development expenditure of $9.9m; and
-
expenditure on Golden Pride and Ravenswood property, plant and equipment (including tailings dam lifts) of $8.9m.
HEDGING
Details of the Resolute’s financial instruments have been provided in the recent June 2007 quarterly report. During the year under review, Resolute reduced its hedging commitments by 154,159 ounces and at period end, had committed approximately 20% of its reserves to hedging contracts, with the remaining 80% of its gold reserves fully participating in upward movements in the gold price.
Resolute continues to amortise its hedge positions and there are over 200,000 ounces committed for delivery in the coming financial year. This will see a significant reduction in the company’s overall gold hedging position and, at this stage, it does not intend to increase its position.
OUTLOOK
Operations
At Golden Pride, an amicable termination with the existing mining contractor has been negotiated and a new mining contractor commenced mining operations from 1 July 2007.
2 of 25
The transition has been seamless with the new contractor taking over the existing equipment and workforce. New replacement mining equipment is expected on site during the September 2007 quarter. Furthermore, the installation of two new pre-leach tanks is anticipated to be completed in September 2007. This will lift overall plant recoveries. Mining has commenced on the re optimised pit design. Higher grade ore in the first 3 quarters of the coming financial year is expected to lift the average grade of ore to be processed. Towards the end of the year access to higher grade ore will be limited and the head grade is predicted to reduce significantly, whilst the majority of the mill feed is temporarily sourced from low grade stockpiles.
At Ravenswood, a major shutdown was carried out in June and a number of changes made to improve the future performance of the treatment plant. This was successfully completed and the plant has ramped up to normal throughput rates. Sarsfield open pit mining is moving to the Keel and Bell areas with the poorer performing Area 5 ore now completed. At the Mt Wright underground mine, located 11 kms from the Ravenswood treatment plant, there has been over 3.4 kilometres of decline development and ore mining from the upper stopes is underway. The decline is projected to extend to the main ore zone by the end of 2008. Mt Wright ore is expected to provide approximately 20% of the Ravenswood gold production in the coming year. An improvement in Ravenswood gold production and cost per ounce is expected due to the rectification work undertaken, and the positive impact that the introduction of Mt Wright ore will have on the average head grade of ore to be processed in the coming year.
Forecast gold production for the Resolute group for the year ending 30 June 2008 is 330,000 ounces, which is significantly higher than gold production in the year ended 30 June 2007. This improved outlook is being driven by anticipated improvements in throughput, head grade and recoveries at Golden Pride, anticipated improvements in head grade and recoveries at Ravenswood, and the potential for the production of some gold from the Syama project in the latter part of the financial year during the commissioning/ramp up phase. The forecast cash cost per ounce is around $560, which is lower than that achieved in the 2006/07 year, mainly driven by the anticipated higher head grade of ore to be processed.
Project Development
Work continues on the re-development of the six million ounce Syama gold mine in Mali. Completion is scheduled for the second half of 2008. Once complete, Syama will become a major production asset contributing 250,000 ounces of annual production to the group.
Engineering is nearly complete and procurement well advanced with pipe and steelwork starting to arrive at site. Construction activities are progressing on schedule.
Recruitment of key senior management is well advanced with a number of new employees recently taking up posts.
The contract negotiation with mining contractor PW International, for the Syama Bulk Mining Phase, is nearing completion. Mining equipment deliveries have started and mining is planned to commence in the December quarter.
3 of 25
To date, the costs associated with the redevelopment of Syama are tracking US$3m above the budget of US$118m. In addition, Resolute has committed to the purchase of a US$16m power station, which will increase project capital costs by this amount, but this will be offset by lower ongoing operating costs. The redevelopment is approximately 27% complete, and up until 31 July 2007, US$38m had been spent on the redevelopment (including payments made on the power station), with a further US$38m of expenditure committed. The majority of the remaining development expenditure is expected to occur in the half year to 31 December 2007.
Exploration and Project Evaluation
The gold exploration and project evaluation plan for the coming financial year is focussed on three major geographical areas, being Ravenswood in Queensland, Tanzania (Golden Pride and the Nyakafuru areas), and Mali (Syama Region and the Finkolo JV). A budget of $21m has been allocated to exploration and project evaluation over the next 12 months.
Key development activities over this period, which offer potential to significantly improve the position of the respective assets, are:
-
further testing and evaluation of the oxide resources at Syama and Finkolo
-
resource definition drilling at Mt Wright
-
resource definition drilling around and below the current Golden Pride pit.
FUNDING OF FUTURE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE
Resolute is committed to unlocking the value of its assets as demonstrated by the current re-development of the Syama gold mine in Mali and the ongoing development of the Mount Wright underground mine. In addition, Resolute plans to continue to commit funds to its ongoing project evaluation activities and very prospective exploration programmes.
The combination of these activities will result in significant cash outflows over the next 12 months. To fully fund these programs, the Company has been examining the different funding options to determine the most effective package for the Company and shareholders. A decision on the most appropriate package is expected to made and announced in the next few weeks.

(a) The current derivative liabilities are partially secured and partially unsecured. All of Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd and Resolute (Tanzania) Limited’s derivative liabilities are secured by their respective financiers. All of Resolute (Treasury) Pty Ltd’s derivative liabilities are unsecured. The unsecured current balance amounts to $11.0m (2006: $22.5m).
(b) Included in the derivative liabilities balance above is an amount of $5.2m (2006: $13.1m) relating to undesignated hedging commitments that do not mature in the next 12 months. As a result of the maturity dates being > 12 months, these liabilities would ordinarily be disclosed as non current liabilities, as Resolute Mining Limited and its subsidiaries are under no obligation to make any payments relating to these derivative contracts for at least 12 months. However, due to a technical accounting requirement in AASB 101, these liabilities have been disclosed in these financial statements as a current liability.
(c) The consolidated entity considers that gold forwards and gold put options are an economic hedge for future gold production, however are only partially considered effective hedges per accounting criteria. Of the above amount, $19.2m (2006: $41.6m) of gold forwards are considered to be effective hedges per accounting criteria.
