Mali
- At 30 June 2013 work on the Syama Expansion Project (excluding the Grid Connection) reached 34% completion with US$82.9m expenditure.
- MoU signed with Government of Mali to progress the High Voltage Grid Connection to Syama.
- Very encouraging reverse circulation drilling intersections were received from further resource drilling along the BA01 - A21 deposit trends increasing near plant oxide resources.
Queensland
- At Ravenswood, significant intercepts were received from recent resource drilling below the 600mRL at Mt Wright, which included 12m @ 12.86g/t Au, 23m @ 6.42g/t Au, 40m @ 4.67g/t Au, 17m @ 5.02g/t Au and 21m @ 4.12g/t Au.
- An infill and extension diamond drilling campaign was completed at the Sarsfield gold deposit.An updated resource calculation is being carried out and used to revise the pit optimisation for the Sarsfield expansion project. Work continued on the Environmental Impact Statement.
EXPLORATION
Exploration drilling was carried out in Mali, Tanzania and Queensland while target definition work continued in Cote d'Ivoire.
Tanzania
- Resource drilling commenced on the Leeuwin and Grange prospects at the Nyakafuru project. Significant intercepts included 14m @ 11.94g/t Au from 20m, and 23m @ 3.92g/t Au from 18m. Drilling is continuing.
- Reverse circulation drilling was carried out on the Mwaguguli prospect located in the GP West JV with African Barrick. Better results included 16m @ 7.87g/t Au from 24m, and 7m @ 9.17g/t Au from 13m.
- The resource drilling program on the Voyager, Mentelle and Cullen gold systems was completed and a new resource estimate will be completed in due course. Significant results from Voyager-Mentelle included 3m @ 59.72g/t Au from 160m,
and 4m @ 17.03g/t Au from 69m. Results from Cullen were also very encouraging with many holes recording multiple intersections including 9m @ 5.81g/t Au from 7m.
Mali
- Reverse circulation drilling results from Cashew were encouraging with best intervals including 9m@ 7.50g/t Au from 21m.
- At Paysans, results received from diamond drilling carried out at the end of the prior year were very positive with best results of 5m @ 12.85g/t Au from 164m, and 4m @ 7.25g/t Au from 90m.
Queensland
As part of the ongoing Sarsfield assessment, a reevaluation of the Buck Reef West area commenced. The Buck Reef West shear zone and associated high grade quartz vein lodes have the potential to add significantly to the open pit resources in the area.
Cote d'Ivoire
Field work has commenced at the Toumodi and Goumere Research Permit areas following licence approvals.
CORPORATE

Included in the year-end balance is 29,046oz of gold bullion on hand with a market value of $37.9m, and investments with a market value of $115.5m. The 29,046oz of gold bullion on hand is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position within Inventories at its production cost of $30.7m.
- At 30 June 2013, the face value of Resolute's total borrowings was $92.2m (2012: $11.0m). As at year end, the weighted average interest rate payable on the borrowings was 5.4%.

OUTLOOK
Operations
Group gold production is forecast to be 345,000 ounces in FY2014 year following Golden Pride reaching the end of its mine life. Cash costs for FY2014 are forecasted to be $890/oz (based on an assumed exchange rate of 1 A$ = US$0.93).
Development and Exploration
- The Company will continue with a comprehensive review of the US$266m Syama expansion in light of the prevailing market conditions particularly impacting the gold sector. US$113m has already been identified for immediate deferral, with no adverse effect on the mine plan or longer term revenue.
- Further reduction in capital spend and improved operating costs expected at Syama as pit revised to two stage expansion. Modified mine plan to deliver capital management benefits and robust cash flows. Further details regarding the revised Syama development are set out in a separate announcement released today.
- The project development team for the Syama High Voltage Grid Connection will now submit the necessary environmental-social impact and infrastructure engineering studies for approval, and finalise the Power Implementation and Supply
Agreements prior to construction commencing. These agreements are expected to be completed during the first half of FY2014.
- At Mt Wright, infill drilling has commenced from the 600RL level testing targets down to 550RL. Drilling is expected to continue over the next three months. It is planned to update the resource block model and undertake a mining evaluation for the zone below 600RL in the coming months.
- At Sarsfield, the Environmental Impact Study is due to be submitted to the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection during the first half of FY2014. Additionally, investigations are continuing towards a revised feasibility study which hopes to deliver improved project economics through operating cost and capital expenditure reductions, as well as mining inventory increases.
- Exploration will continue around Syama in Mali, Ravenswood in Queensland and at the Nyakafuru project in Tanzania. Total exploration of $15m budgeted for the 2014 financial year.
Corporate
- As previously announced, Resolute continues to critically review all operating costs and mine plans with a view to reducing the cash cost base. In support of this disciplined cash management approach, a pay freeze has also been implemented for all senior management positions.
- The Company continues to monitor and assess the deployment of its capital across its existing growth projects, new projects, and overall capital management program ensuring the Company remains in a strong and flexible financial position.

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT
a) Corporate information
The preliminary final report of Resolute Mining Limited and its subsidiaries ("Resolute" or the "Group") for the full year ended 30 June 2013 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors.
Resolute Mining Limited ("RML") is a company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares, which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
b) Basis of preparation
This report is based on accounts that are in the process of being audited.
This report does not include all of the notes of the normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly this report is to be read in conjunction with the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012 and any public announcements made by RML during the reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
c) Change in accounting policy – Waste removal costs
Resolute has elected to early adopt the new accounting standard IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine effective from 1 July 2012. The new accounting standard has a compulsory start date of 1 July 2013 but early adopters can commence a year earlier.
The new accounting standard has the effect of recognising the Syama pit in its separate stages, rather than treating it as one single stage (per current industry standards). The recognition of a staged pit (of which we are currently operating in stages 1 and 2 only) has had the effect of lowering the total strip ratio of the current operating areas, and hence a greater proportion of recent waste removal has been capitalised as a life‐to‐date adjustment into this year's results. This is a timing difference only, and mining future stages in later years will be charged at higher costs, which is commensurate with the real cost of mining deeper in the pit where stripping ratios will be higher. The impact of this change on the comparative period has been assessed with nil effect.
NOTE 2: ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The annual general meeting will be held as follows:
