1. The Company's Major Projects

1.1 Syama

The Syama Gold Project is located in the south of Mali, West Africa approximately 30kms from the Côte d’Ivoire border and 300km southeast of the capital Bamako.

Resolute has an 80% interest in the project through its equity in Sociêtê des Mines de Syama S.A. (SOMISY). The Malian Government holds a 20% interest in SOMISY, 15% of which is free carried.

The Syama gold mine was established by BHP Ltd in 1990 as an oxide operation and in 1994 the decision was made to build a primary ore processing facility to treat the hard, refractory ore based on whole of ore roasting. It was operated by BHP until 1996 and by Randgold Resources Ltd from 1996 to 2001. Both operators were unable to achieve a sustainable operation based on whole of ore roasting, coupled with a low prevailing gold price, and Randgold placed the operation on care and maintenance in 2001.

Resolute acquired the project in June 2004 after completing a positive pre-feasibility study, and completed a Feasibility Study in April 2005. This study shows positive returns based on a modified flow sheet that processes a sulphide concentrate through the roasting circuit.

The re-development project was initiated by Resolute in 2006 and as at 31 October 2008 was overall 88% complete, with the oxide plant being commissioned and the first gold pour occurred on 24 November 2008. Roaster commissioning and sulphide ramp-up is scheduled for March quarter 2009.

The single open pit operation currently has a six to seven year mine life with potential to increase reserves by development of an underground operation or by the discovery of new resources.

1.2 Ravenswood

The Ravenswood gold mine is located approximately 95km south-west of Townsville and 65km east of Charters Towers in north-east Queensland.

Resolute has a 100% interest in this mine, which was acquired from Xstrata Queensland Limited in early 2004, through its subsidiary Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd.

Historically the majority of ore for the Ravenswood Operations has been sourced from the Sarsfield open pit and the low-grade screening plant. The ore is treated using conventional three stage crushing, ball-milling and carbon-in-pulp (CIP) processing at the rate of approximately 5Mtpa.

Over the past two years the nearby Mt Wright underground ore body has been developed.

The open pit will be completed in the March 2009 quarter and ore will then be sourced from lowgrade stockpiles to be blended with increasing amounts of Mt Wright underground ore. The processing plant will be progressively reconfigured for the treatment of lower tonnages of higher grade ore.

During the 2008 financial year the operation produced 142,833 (2007: 117,521) ounces of gold at a cash cost of A$743 (2007: A$781).

It has now produced in excess of 600,000 ounces of gold since being acquired in 2004.

1.3 Golden Pride

The Golden Pride gold mine is located in Tanzania, East Africa, 750km north-west of the port of Dar es Salaam and 200km south of Lake Victoria.

Resolute has a 100% interest in the project through its Tanzanian subsidiary, Resolute (Tanzania) Limited.

Ore for the Golden Pride Operations is sourced entirely from the single open pit mining operations. The ore is treated using conventional three stage crushing, ball-milling and carbonin-pulp (CIP) processing at the rate of approximately 2.5Mtpa.

During the 2008 financial year the Golden Pride open cut mine produced 150,224 (2007: 138,421) ounces of gold at a cost of US$446 (2007: US$403) per ounce.

It has now produced in excess of 1.55 million ounces of gold since development and commissioning in 1998.

1.4 Annual Report

The Annual Report advised Shareholders of the need for the Company to raise further funds to continue as a going concern. The Capital Raising seeks to raise these funds.

Further information about the Company and its operations can be found in the Annual Report of the Company.

1.5 Risk Factors

Resolute is at a critical stage of developing new projects, the success of which is integral to its future success. The development, completion and future operation of these projects is subject to some specific risks in addition to the usual risks associated with a mineral producer and explorer and the general risks of investing in listed companies.

Section 5 contains details of the risks of an investment in the Company.

5. Risk factors

An investment in Securities offered by this Prospectus should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company.

The directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the specific risk factors which shareholders need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and risks of increasing your investment in the Company. Shareholders should carefully consider the following factors.

5.1 Specific Risks

(a) Future capital requirements

The Company’s growth through expansion of its current business will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantees that the Company's cash reserves together with funds raised from the Capital Raising will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy.

If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Capital Raising , existing working capital and funds generated from operations, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to the Company’s existing Shareholders and any debt financing if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s activities.

As highlighted in the Company's Full Year Statutory Accounts, If the Company's cash reserves, funds raised from the Capital Raising and funds generated from current operations are not sufficient to fully pay for the current development and the Company is unable to raise further funds to meet these costs it could result in significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of its business.

(b) Negative Pledge

Under the terms of a trust deed to be entered into by the Company it has agreed to certain negative pledge arrangements.

While the Convertible Notes are on issue these arrangements may restrict the Company's ability to enter into financing arrangements in the future in that it caps the secured financial indebtedness the Company may have.

The inability of the Company to raise further amounts utilising the debt markets may have a material impact on its ability to develop its projects successfully and on the Company's overall business and financial condition.

(c) Syama Ore Processing Risk

The Syama gold mine in Mali was previously operated using a primary ore processing facility to treat the hard, refractory ore based on 'whole of ore' roasting. Previous operators were unable to achieve a sustainable operation based on the 'whole of ore' roasting approach. The Company therefore decided to convert the Syama roaster,

from its current configuration as a whole of ore roaster to a circulating fluid bed concentrate unit. The decision to change configuration has been supported by testwork but the process is yet to be proven on a larger scale.

(d) Development Risk

The Company is in the development stages of the Syama gold project and Mt Wright mine. The development of all mining operations involves a significant amount of risk. Should the Company experience problems or delays with the development of these projects or should the costs of such developments exceed budgets then this may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and its financial condition.

(e) Ramp up Risk

The Company's production schedule at the Syama Project involves a progressive ramp up to optimum rates of production and gold extraction. There is a risk that for a number of reasons, some which may be out the Company’s control that the ramp up to optimum rates may be delayed or not achieved at all. Not being able to achieve a ramp up to optimal production rates within the timeframes planned may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cashflows.

(f) Syama Project Mining Licence

The mining licence held by the Company over the Syama project expires on 29 March 2009. The Company has made application for renewal of the licence and has, in the opinion of Directors, met all requirements for the renewal of the licence and Directors are not aware of any reason why the licence will not be renewed. There is a risk, however that the extension of the mining licence may be delayed or that it may not be renewed as a result of the mining authority disagreeing with the Company's view that the requirements for renewal have been satisfied. Any delay in the renewal of the licence or if the Company is unable to get the licence renewed may have a material impact on the Company's overall business and financial condition.

(g) Tanzania and Mali sovereign risk

The Company's Mali and Tanzanian projects are subject to the risks associated in operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

The Company may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in Mali or Tanzania that affect foreign ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

(h) Legal systems in Mali and Tanzania

The legal systems operating in Mali and Tanzania may be less developed than more established countries, which may result in risk such as:

(i) political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute;

(ii) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies;
(iii) the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations including, in particular, as regards local taxation and property rights;
(iv) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or
(v) relative inexperience of the judiciary and court in such matter.

The commitment by local business people, government officials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to licences and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance that joint ventures, licences, license application or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of the government authorities or others and the effectiveness of and enforcement of such arrangements cannot be assured.

(i) Hedging arrangements

The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements including gold options and gold forward contracts to manage the risks associated with gold price fluctuations.

The use of these kinds of arrangements requires the Company to produce and deliver gold to satisfy the contracts. If there is an interruption to production or insufficient gold is produced by the Company it will not be able to fulfil its obligations. This may require it to purchase gold on the spot market. There is a risk that gold may have to be purchased at a higher price than the Company receives under its hedging arrangements which may have a material impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cashflows.

(j) Diesel fuel costs

At the Syama project the Company has developed its own power generation plant fired by diesel fuel. In addition the Company provides diesel fuel for the operation of a large fleet of mobile mining equipment powered by diesel fuel.

The cost of diesel fuel forms a significant proportion of the Company’s operating costs.

The price of diesel fuel has fluctuated widely in recent years and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

Fluctuations in diesel prices and, in particular, a material increase in the price of diesel fuel, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cashflows.

(k) Foreign Exchange Risk associated with development of the Syama Project

Exchange rates between currencies are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include expectations regarding inflation, interest rates demand for, and supply of commodites as well as general global economic conditions.

A large proportion of the remaining development costs associated with the development of the Syama project, which will be funded from the Capital Raising are denominated in United States dollars or South African rand.

The exchange rate between Australian dollars and United States dollars has been increasingly volatile and may remain so during the development of the Syama project. Adverse movements in the exchange rate between Australian dollars and United

States dollars or between Australian dollars and South African rand may materially increase the cost of development of the Syama Project and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cashflows.

(l) Global Credit and Investment Markets

Global credit, commodity and investment markets have recently experienced a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which have lead to this situation have been outside the control of the Company and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including ASX). This may impact the price at which the Company’s Securities trade regardless of operating performance and affect the Company's ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required.

(m) Gold price volatility and foreign exchange risk on revenues and expenses

The revenue the Company derives through the sale of gold exposes the income of the Company to gold price risks.

Gold prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for gold, forward selling by producers, and production cost levels in major gold-producing regions.

Moreover, the gold price is also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, gold as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the price the Company receives for its gold.

Furthermore, the price of gold and a significant portion of the Company's operating expenses are denominated in United States dollars whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

(n) General Environmental Risks

Mining is an industry which has become subject to increasing environmental responsibility and liability. The potential liability is an ever-present risk. The company may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which it has not insured or cannot insure, including those in respect of past mining or other activities for which it has not been responsible.

(o) Resource and Reserve Estimates

Resource and Reserve estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available through drilling, sampling and similar examinations.

In addition, resource and reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisations or formations different from those predicted, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company's operations.

(p)

Securityholders' Margin Lending arrangements

Securityholders may, from time to time, enter into margin lending arrangements for the purchase of Securities in the Company on terms and conditions not known to the Company.

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a Securityholder who has entered into such an arrangement or insolvency or other managerial failure by any party who may have provided such an arrangement to the Securityholder. Such an event may lead to parcels of Securities being made available for sale which may impact negatively on the price of the Company's Securities.

(q) Taxation and government regulations

Changes in taxation and government legislation in a range of areas (for example, Corporations Act, accounting standards, and taxation law) can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and the returns to investors.

(r) Reliance on key personnel

The Company is reliant on its management. The loss of one or more of these individuals could adversely affect the Company.

In addition, the Company’s ability to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its management systems and to recruit and train new employees and consultants. Although the Company expects to be able to do so in the future, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel and consultants.

(s) Joint venture parties, contractors and agents

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is, or may become a party; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.

(t) Exploration, development, mining and processing risks

Mineral exploration, project development and mining by their nature contain elements of significant risk. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:

(i) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable ore resources;
(ii) successful conclusions to bankable feasibility studies;
(iii) access to adequate capital for project development;
(iv) design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets;
(v) securing and maintaining title to tenements;
(vi) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining;
(vii) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants; and
(viii) Adverse weather conditions over a prolonged period can adversely affect exploration and mining operations and the timing of revenues.

Whether or not income will result from development of tenements depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development and mining operations.

(u) Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

(i) Identifying a metallurgical process through testwork to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
(ii) Developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
(iii) Changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
(v) Operational and technical risks

The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

(i) geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological conditions;
(ii) limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns and cyclone activity;
(iii) alterations to joint venture programs and budgets;
(iv) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in survey, drilling and production activities;
(v) electrical and mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;
(vi) unavailability of aircraft or drilling equipment to undertake airborne surveys and other geological and geophysical investigations;
(vii) the supply and cost of skilled labour;
(viii) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of water, consumables, diesel fuel, tyres, spare parts and plant and equipment;
(ix) prevention or restriction of access by reason of political unrest, outbreak of hostilities and inability to obtain consents or approvals (including clearance of work programs pursuant to the existing and any future access agreements entered into with the registered Aboriginal Land Council and the Native Title claimants); and
(x) the Company has a policy of obtaining insurance for environmental and other operational risks where appropriate, taking into consideration the availability of cover and premium costs and where required under its contractual commitments.
(w) Title, Tenure and Access

All mining tenements and licences which the Company owns or may acquire either by application, sale and purchase or farm-in are regulated by the applicable mining legislation. There is no guarantee that applications will be granted as applied for (although the Company has no reason to believe that the tenements or licenses will not be granted in due course). Various conditions may also be imposed as a condition of grant. In addition a relevant minister or government agency may need to consent to any transfer of tenement to the Company.

Renewal of titles or licences is made by way of application to the relevant department. There is no guarantee that a renewal will be automatically granted other than in accordance with the applicable mining legislation. In addition, the relevant minister or government agency may impose conditions on any renewal, including relinquishment of ground.

5.2 General Risks

(a) Securities Investment

Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Company’s Securities trade may be above or below the issue price, and may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.

Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for mining and exploration companies, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Securities, regardless of the Company’s operational performance.

(b) Share Market Conditions

The market price of the Securities may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for securities in general and resource stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

Factors such as global credit risks, inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates and supply and demand have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market prices. The Company’s future revenues and the market price for its listed securities may be affected by these factors, as well as fluctuations in the price of minerals, which are beyond Resolute’s control.

5.3 Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus. Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

(ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
(k) Adjustment for rights issue

If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu of in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

– New exercise price = O – E [P (S+D)] N+1

O = the old Exercise Price of the Option.

E = the number of underlying Shares into which one (1) Option is exercisable.
P = average market price per Share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
