On 14 November, the Company announced that the Placement and the Institutional Entitlement Offer had been successfully completed, raising A$96 million. The Company also announced that the underwritten amount of the Equity Raising had increased from A$140 million to A$164 million, due to strong demand from high-quality, eligible existing and new domestic and international institutional investors.

The Equity Raising now comprises an underwritten component of A$164 million which will be used to pay down the Company's Syndicated Loan Facility and to fund general working capital, the costs of the equity raising and to support the Company's Syama North expansion plan. Post Equity Raising, net debt will be reduced from US$156 million at 30 September 2022, to approximately US$55 million.1 The 2023 repayments under the Company's Syndicated Loan Facility of US$90 million can now be met from the proceeds of the Equity Raising.

Facility. Eligible Retail Shareholders are being provided with access to this Information Booklet and details of their Entitlement on the offer website at www.computersharecas.com.au/rsgentitlementoffer.

  • are registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date, being 7.00 pm (AEDT) on 14 November 2022;
  • as at the Record Date, have a registered address on the Resolute share register that is in Australia, New Zealand or Bermuda;
  • are not in the United States;
  • are not an Eligible Institutional Shareholder; and
  • are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or offer document to be lodged or registered.

All Shareholders who are not Eligible Retail Shareholders are Ineligible Retail Shareholders. Ineligible Retail Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Resolute has determined that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Retail Shareholders, having regard to the number of Shares held by Ineligible Retail Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares that they would be offered, and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of Shares to Ineligible Retail Shareholders in those places.

Your Entitlement is set out on your personalised Entitlement Form and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 1.11 Shares you held as at the Record Date, being 7.00pm (AEDT) on 14 December 2022. If the result is not a whole number, your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.

New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.

The Entitlement stated on your personalised Entitlement Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up; for example, you are not permitted to take up an Entitlement to the extent you are holding Shares for an Ineligible Retail Shareholder.

3.6 Oversubscription Facility and Additional New Shares

Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up all of their Entitlement and who are not a Related Party of Resolute may apply for up to 50% of their Entitlement in addition to their Entitlement, as Additional New Shares pursuant to the Oversubscription Facility. Subject to section 8.10 of this Information Booklet and applicable legal and regulatory requirements, this means that, in total, you may apply for up to 150% of your Entitlement (comprising the New Shares under your Entitlement plus the Additional New Shares).

Eligible Retail Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares may be offered some or all (as the case may be) of the New Shares comprising the Retail Shortfall.

Please note that Additional New Shares will only be allocated to you if there is a sufficient number of New Shares not taken up by Eligible Retail Shareholders pursuant to their full Entitlement or from New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Retail Shareholders if they had been eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. If you apply for Additional New Shares, there is no guarantee you will be allocated any. Resolute will scale back applications for Additional New Shares in its absolute discretion having regard to the pro rata Entitlement of Eligible Retail Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares.

Resolute will only issue Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer where the directors of Resolute are satisfied, in their discretion, that the issue of such Shares will not increase a Shareholder's voting power in contravention of the takeover prohibitions pursuant to the Corporations Act.

New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.

3.7 Can you trade your Entitlement?

Your Entitlement is personal and cannot be traded on ASX, transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with. If you do not take up your Entitlement by 5.00pm (AEDT) on 5 December 2022, your rights will lapse.

By allowing your Entitlement to lapse you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up your Entitlement. Your interest in Resolute will also be diluted.

The Retail Shortfall will be allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders who subscribed for Additional New Shares under the Oversubscription Facility. Any New Shares which are not subscribed for by Eligible Retail Shareholders under their Entitlements or under the Oversubscription Facility may be taken up by the Underwriters and/or their sub-underwriters on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.

6. Australian tax implications

6.1 General

The section below provides a general summary of the Australian income tax, GST and stamp duty implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer for certain Eligible Retail Shareholders.

This section is intended to provide a summary for Eligible Retail Shareholders who are permanent residents for Australian income tax purposes and hold their Shares on capital account. This summary does not consider the implications for Eligible Retail Shareholders who:

  • are exempt from Australian income tax;
  • acquired their Shares as a result of an employment or services arrangement;
  • are banks or insurance companies;
  • hold their Shares on revenue account or as trading stock;
  • are non-residents for Australian tax purposes; or
  • are subject to the Australian taxation of financial arrangement (TOFA) rules under Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth).

The information in this section is general in nature and is based on the relevant Australian tax legislation in force, and the administrative practice of the relevant revenue authorities, as at the date of this Information Booklet. It is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any Eligible Retail Shareholder. This Section does not take into account the individual circumstances of any Eligible Retail Shareholder and should not be relied upon by any Eligible Retail Shareholder or any other person. Resolute and its officers, employees, taxation or other advisers do not accept any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning tax consequences, or in respect of the tax consequences.

It is strongly recommended that each Eligible Retail Shareholder should obtain, and only rely upon, their own independent professional tax advice in respect of the Retail Entitlement Offer, applicable to their particular circumstances.

6.2 Issue of Entitlements

The issue of the Entitlements should not, of itself, result in any amount being included the assessable income of an Eligible Retail Shareholder.

6.3 Exercise of Entitlements

The exercise of an Entitlement should not, of itself, result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Retail Shareholder.

Eligible Retail Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Shares. You will also acquire Additional New Shares if your application for Additional New Shares is accepted.

Each New Share (including each Additional New Share, if applicable) will constitute a separate asset for CGT purposes. The Offer Price for the New Shares (including the Additional New Shares, if applicable) will form part of the cost base (or reduced cost base) of those shares held by an Eligible Retail Shareholder. Each of the New Shares or Additional New Shares will be taken to be acquired on the day that the Entitlement in respect of the New Share is exercised or the application for the Additional New Shares is accepted, as the case may be.

6.4 Entitlements not taken up

Any Entitlements not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer will lapse and the Eligible Retail Shareholder will not receive any consideration for those Entitlements. There should not be any tax implications for the Eligible Retail Shareholder in these circumstances.

6.5 Distributions

Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) should be subject to the same income tax treatment as dividends or other distributions made on existing Shares held in the same circumstances.

6.6 TFN/ABN withholding

Resolute may be required to withhold amounts from income distributions at the highest marginal tax rate plus the Medicare Levy if a TFN, ABN, or evidence of an appropriate exemption from quoting such numbers, has not been provided. In that instance, the Shareholder will however be entitled to a credit or refund in their tax returns to the extent of the tax withheld.

If an Eligible Retail Shareholder has quoted their TFN or ABN or an exemption from quoting such numbers applies in respect of their existing holding of Shares, this quotation or exemption will also apply in respect of any New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) acquired by that Eligible Retail Shareholder.

6.7 Disposals

The disposal of a New Share (including any Additional New Share, if applicable) will constitute a disposal for CGT purposes. The time of the CGT event should be the date of the contract for sale or the date of transfer of the New Shares or Additional New Shares, as the case may be.

On disposal of a New Share (including any Additional New Share, if applicable), an Eligible Retail Shareholder will make a capital gain if the capital proceeds received on disposal exceed the cost base of the New Share or Additional New Share, as the case may be. An Eligible Retail Shareholder will make a capital loss if the capital proceeds are less than the reduced cost base of the New Share or Additional New Share, as the case may be. The cost base of a New Share (including any Additional New Share, if applicable) should generally be the amount the Eligible Retail Shareholder pays to acquire the Share plus any incidental costs incurred (for example, brokerage). Reduced cost base is usually determined in a similar, but not identical, manner.

Eligible Retail Shareholders that are individuals, trustees or complying superannuation entities and that have held their New Shares or Additional New Shares, as the case may be, for 12 months or more at the time of disposal (excluding the dates of acquisition and disposal) should be entitled to apply the applicable CGT discount factor to reduce the capital gain (after first applying any current or prior year capital losses to reduce any capital gains). The CGT discount factor is 50% for individuals and trustees and 33.33% for complying superannuation entities. Corporate Shareholders and Non-Australian resident individual Shareholders are not eligible for the general CGT discount concession.

New Shares or Additional New Shares will be treated for the purposes of the CGT discount as having been acquired when an Eligible Retail Shareholder exercises their Entitlement. Accordingly, in order to be eligible for the CGT discount, the New Shares must be held for at least 12 months after the date that the Eligible Retail Shareholder exercised their Entitlement (excluding the dates of acquisition and disposal). For the Additional New Shares the 12 months should be measured from the date the Additional New Shares are issued.

Eligible Retail Shareholders that make a capital loss on the disposal of their New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) can only use that loss to offset other capital gains, i.e. the capital loss cannot be used to offset other assessable income. However, if the capital loss cannot be used in a particular income year, it can be carried forward to use in future income years, provided, in the case of a corporate or trustee Eligible Retail Shareholder, that certain loss recoupment tests are satisfied.

6.8 Other Australian taxes

While the Shares remain quoted on the ASX, no Australian GST or stamp duty should be payable in respect of the issue or exercise of the Retail Entitlement Offer, or the acquisition of New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) pursuant to the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Australian resident Eligible Retail Shareholders who are registered for GST will need to consider their individual circumstances as to whether they are entitled to claim input tax credits for GST incurred on expenses related to the exercise of the Entitlement, making any application for Additional New Shares or disposing of New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable).

A$140m underwritten Equity Raising to strengthen balance sheet

Highlights

  • Resolute launches institutional placement and 1-for-1.11 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer to strengthen balance sheet and provide financial platform for growth
  • Underwritten A$140 million component to be used to pay down debt, reducing net debt position from US$156 million to US$65 million
  • Up to an additional A$60 million from a non-underwritten retail entitlement offer component (if fully subscribed) to further reduce debt, provide general working capital and fund growth initiatives, including the potential expansion optionality at Syama North
  • Equity Raising provides refreshed management team with financial flexibility to continue to execute on demonstrated operational turnaround

Resolute Mining Limited (ASX/LSE: RSG, "Resolute" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of a fully underwritten institutional placement and a partially underwritten 1-for-1.11 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer ("Equity Raising" or the "Offer") of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (New Shares) at an offer price of A$0.16 per New Share to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide a financial platform for growth.

The Equity Raising comprises an underwritten component of A$140 million which will be used to pay down the Company's Syndicated Loan Facility. Post Equity Raising, net debt will be reduced from US$156 million to US$65 million, with US$84 million remaining outstanding on the Company's Syndicated Loan Facility, the majority of which is due in March 20241 .

Under the non-underwritten retail component of the entitlement offer, in the event the retail offer is fully subscribed, up to an additional A$60 million can be raised. These proceeds, in conjunction with pro forma cash reserves of A$77.3 million and future free cash flow, will be used to further repay debt, fund general working capital and costs of the Equity Raising, in addition to supporting the Company's Syama North expansion plan.

The Syama North expansion plans include drilling and test work to convert Resources to Reserves and completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study in Q1 2023 ahead of the commencement of a Definitive Feasibility Study in Q2 2023. Development of the Syama North resource is expected to provide ore feed for a low capex expansion of the Sulphide circuit to achieve economies of scale and reduce AISC per ounce.

Terry Holohan, CEO and Managing Director commented:

"Resolute's performance has steadily improved with four consecutive quarters of increased production. This equity raising is the final step in Resolute's transition to a sustainable gold producer with a de-

risked balance sheet. The Company is now in a strong position to pursue a new open pit operation at Syama North, together with low capital expansion options for the Sulphide circuit."

Details of the Equity Raising

The Equity Raising comprises:

  • An underwritten institutional placement of approximately 258 million New Shares to raise approximately A$41 million ("Placement");
  • An underwritten 1-for-1.11 pro-rata accelerated, non-renounceable institutional entitlement offer of approximately 348 million New Shares to raise approximately A$56 million ("Institutional Entitlement Offer"); and
  • A 1-for-1.11 pro-rata non-accelerated, non-renounceable retail entitlement offer of approximately 646 million New Shares to raise up to approximately A$103 million ("Retail Entitlement Offer") of which approximately A$43 million is underwritten.

The Equity Raising will be undertaken at a fixed issue price of A$0.16 per New Share, which as at the last trading day of 9 November 2022, represents a:

  • 22.0% discount to the last closing price of A$0.2052 ;
  • 23.1% discount to the 5-day volume weight average price of A$0.2082 ; and
  • 13.6% discount to the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price ("TERP")3 of A$0.185.

Eligible institutional shareholders will be invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer, which is being conducted today, Thursday, 10 November 2022, along with the Placement. Eligible institutional shareholders can choose to take up all, part or none of their entitlements under the Institutional Entitlement Offer. Entitlements not taken up by eligible institutional shareholders and entitlements that would otherwise have been offered to ineligible institutional shareholders will be offered to new institutional investors and existing institutional shareholders concurrently with the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will be conducted at the same fixed issue price and offer ratio as the Institutional Entitlement Offer. Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, eligible retail shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and who are outside the United States will be entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 1.11 existing fully paid ordinary shares in Resolute held at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 14 November 2022 ("Record Date"), The Retail Entitlement Offer includes an oversubscription facility, pursuant to which eligible retail shareholders who take up all of their entitlement (and who are not a related party of Resolute) may apply for up to 50% of their entitlement, in addition to their entitlement, as additional New Shares. The Retail Entitlement Offer will be open from Thursday, 17 November 2022 to eligible retail shareholders in Australia and New Zealand, as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date and is expected to close at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 5 December 2022. Offer documents in respect of the Retail Entitlement Offer will be lodged with the ASX on Thursday, 17 November 2022, with details on how to access those documents to be sent in a letter to eligible retail shareholders on Thursday, 17 November 2022.

2 Based on ASX trading only, not LSE.

3 The TERP is the theoretical price at which Resolute shares should trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Resolute's shares trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not equal to TERP. TERP is calculated by reference to Resolute's closing price of A$0.205 on 9 November 2022 and the A$140 million underwritten component of the Equity Raising

Each New Share issued under the Equity Raising will rank pari passu with existing fully paid ordinary shares in Resolute on issue.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and entitlements will not be tradeable or otherwise transferrable.

Important information regarding the Equity Raising, including the offer restrictions applicable to the Equity Raising, is outlined in the Resolute Investor Presentation released today.

Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement contains certain "forward-looking statements" including statements regarding our intent, belief, or current expectations with respect to Resolute's business and operations, market conditions, results of operations and financial condition, and risk management practices. The words "likely", "expect", "aim", "should", "could", "may", "anticipate", "predict", "believe", "plan", "forecast" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Indications of, and guidance on, future earnings, anticipated production, life of mine and financial position and performance are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Resolute's actual results, performance and achievements or industry results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements, or industry results, expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Relevant factors may include (but are not limited to) changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative

nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licences and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which Resolute operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.

Forward-looking statements are based on Resolute's good faith assumptions as to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect Resolute's business and operations in the future. Resolute does not give any assurance that the assumptions will prove to be correct. There may be other factors that could cause actual results or events not to be as anticipated, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of Resolute. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, particularly in the current economic climate with the significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Forward-looking statements in this document speak only at the date of issue. Except as required by applicable laws or regulations, Resolute does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements or to advise of any change in assumptions on which any such statement is based. Except for statutory liability which cannot be excluded, each of Resolute, its officers, employees and advisors expressly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the material contained in these forward-looking statements and excludes all liability whatsoever (including in negligence) for any loss or damage which may be suffered by any person as a consequence of any information in forwardlooking statements or any error or omission.

No public offering of the New Shares will be made in the United States or in any other jurisdiction where such an offering is restricted or prohibited. The distribution of this Presentation in other jurisdictions outside Australia may also be restricted by law and any such restrictions should be observed. In particular, this Presentation may not be distributed or released in the United States.

Important Notices & Disclaimers

NOT FINANCIAL PRODUCT ADVICE This Presentation, and the information provided in it, does not constitute, and is not intended to constitute, financial product or investment advice, financial, legal, tax accounting or other advice, or a recommendation to acquire New Shares (or any other securities of Resolute) and does not and will not form any part of any contract for the acquisition of New Shares. It has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial or tax situation or particular needs of any individual investor. This Presentation consists purely of factual information and does not involve or imply a recommendation of a statement of opinion in respect of whether to buy, sell or hold a financial product. Each recipient of this Presentation should make its own enquiries and investigations regarding all information in this Presentation including, but not limited to, the assumptions, uncertainties and contingencies that may affect the future operations of Resolute and the impact that different future outcomes may have on Resolute. Before making an investment decision, prospective investors should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to their own objectives, financial and tax situation and needs and seek professional advice from their legal, financial, taxation or other independent adviser (having regard to the their own circumstances and the requirements of all relevant jurisdictions). Resolute is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of an investment in its securities or any other financial products. Cooling off rights do not apply to the acquisition of New Shares.

FINANCIAL DATA Unless otherwise stated all dollar figures are United States dollars ($), all currency conversions in this document have been converted at a currency of A$/US$ conversion rate of $0.65. Investors should note that this Presentation contains pro forma financial information to reflect the impact of the Offer. The pro forma financial information provided in this Presentation is for illustrative purposes only and is not represented as being indicative of the Company's (or anyone else's) views on the Company's future financial position and/or performance. The pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements, but not the disclosure requirements, of applicable accounting standards and other mandatory requirements in Australia. The pro forma historical financial information included in this Presentation does not purport to be in compliance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Please note that all financial data as at 30 September 2022 is unaudited.

References are made within this Presentation to certain financial measures that do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (collectively, IFRS). Such measures are neither required by, nor calculated in accordance with IFRS, and therefore are considered Non–IFRS financial measures and "Non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of Regulation G under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. "AISC", "net debt", "EBITDA, "Operating cash flow", "underlying profit after tax" and "Net cash" are Non-IFRS financial measures commonly used in the mining industry that Resolute believes provide useful information to readers in assessing the financial performance and condition of the Company. The way Resolute calculates these measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The disclosure of non-IFRS financial information and non-GAAP financial measures in this manner would not be permissible in a registration statement under the US Securities Act. Investors are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial information included in this Presentation.

EFFECT OF ROUNDING A number of figures, amounts, percentages, estimates, calculations of value and fractions in this Presentation are subject to the effect of rounding. Accordingly, the actual calculation of these figures may differ from the figures set out in this Presentation.

INDUSTRY DATA Certain market and industry data used in connection with or referenced in this Presentation may have been obtained from public filings, research, surveys or studies made or conducted by third parties, including as published in industry-specific or general publications. Neither Resolute nor its advisers, or their respective representatives, have independently verified any such market or industry data.

PAST PERFORMANCE Past performance information in this Presentation is given for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as (and is not) an indication of future performance. The historical information in this Presentation is, or is based upon, information contained in previous announcements made by Resolute to the market. These announcements are available at www.asx.com.au.

FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Presentation contains certain "forward-looking statements". The words "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "believe", "guidance", "outlook", "target", "should", "could", "may", "will", "predict", "plan", "budget" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Indications of, and guidance on, future earnings and financial position and performance are also forward-looking statements, as are statements regarding the timetable and outcome of the Offer, statements about the Company's plans, including with respect to the development of Syama North, and statements about the completion of the PFS to evaluate low capital expenditure options for Syama sulphide. Forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates provided in this Presentation are based on assumptions and contingencies that are subject to change without notice and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that are beyond the control of Resolute, its directors and management. This includes statements about market and industry trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as an indication or guarantee of future performance. Actual results, performance, actions or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements and any projections and assumptions on which these statements are based. These statements may assume the success of Resolute's business strategies, the success of which may not be realised within the period for which the forward-looking statement may have been prepared, or at all.

Several important factors could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including (without limitation) the risk factors set out in Section 2 of this Presentation. Therefore, investors are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, particularly in light of those risk factors. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to management or that management currently believe not to be material may also affect Resolute's business. No representation, warranty or assurance (express or implied) is given or made in relation to any forward-looking statement by any person (including Resolute or any of its advisers). In particular, no representation, warranty or assurance (express or implied) is given that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this Presentation will actually occur. Actual operations, results, performance, production targets or achievement may vary materially from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those statements are based. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and its related bodies corporate and affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisers, agents and intermediaries disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release any updates or revisions to the information to reflect any change in expectations or assumptions. Except as required by law or regulation (including the ASX Listing Rules), the Company undertakes no obligation to provide any additional or updated information whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Nothing in this Presentation will under any circumstances create an implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Company since the date of this Presentation.

INVESTMENT RISK An investment in Resolute's shares is considered to be speculative in nature and is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of the Company, including possible loss of income and principal invested. The Company does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of the Company, nor does it guarantee the repayment of capital from the Company or any particular tax treatment. In considering an investment in Resolute's shares, investors should have regard to (amongst other things) the risks outlined in this Presentation.

Important Notices & Disclaimers

JORC CODE It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC Code"). Investors should note that such estimates of resources and reserves are largely dependent on the interpretation of data and may prove to be incorrect over time. No assurance can be given that the resources and reserves presented in this Presentation will be recovered at the levels presented. Investors outside Australia should note that while ore reserve and mineral resource estimates of Resolute in this Presentation comply with the JORC Code (such JORC Code-compliant ore reserves and mineral resources being "Ore Reserves" and "Mineral Resources" respectively), they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators; or (ii) Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the SEC. Information contained in this document describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. Investors should not assume that any part of quantities reported as "resources" will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code, Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K or any other reporting regime or that these amounts can be economically exploited, particularly material classified as "inferred", and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those estimates.

COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENTS The information in this Presentation that relates to exploration results and estimates of Mineral Resources is based on, and fairy represents, information compiled by Mr Bruce Mowat, a member of The Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Bruce Mowat has more than five years' experience relevant to the styles of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person, as defined in the JORC Code. Mr Bruce Mowat is a full-time employee of the Company and holds equity securities in the Company. He has consented to the inclusion of the matters in this Presentation based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this Presentation that relates to Resolute's production targets and resultant financial forecast information (including in relation to the Sulphide Circuit Expansion and Syama Oxide) is based on, and fairy represents, information compiled by Mr Terry Holohan, C.Eng (UK), a member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3). Mr Holohan has more than 40 years' experience relevant to processing of Ores similar to the type under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person, as defined in the JORC Code. Mr Holohan is a full-time employee of Resolute and has consented to the inclusion of the matters in this Presentation based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this Presentation that relates to Ore Reserves is extracted from announcements released to the ASX dated 4 March 2022 titled "Ore Reserves and Mineral Resource Statement" and dated 30 August 2022 titled "Two Million Ounce Mineral Resource at Syama North", which are available to view on the Company's website (https://www.rml.com.au/investors/asx-lse-announcements/). The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the original market announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed. Resolute confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from that announcement, its estimates in the original market announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.

ASX Listing Rule Disclosures

Assumptions on which the production targets in this Presentation are made are based on:

  • Expanded capacity of 30-50% could be fed by material from the Syama North Resource
  • To achieve the expanded capacity there is the potential to convert existing Oxide circuit to provide additional capacity for the Sulphide circuit The Oxide circuit has an Oxide capacity of 1.5Mtpa, with a modelled sulphide throughput capacity of up to 1.0Mtpa (Refer to the Syama Oxide throughput assumptions detailed in Section 4 of the Appendix (page 38) to the Company's Ore Reserves and Mineral Resource Statement at 31 December 2021, released to the ASX on 4 March 2022). This would also provide the flexibility to process Oxide material from Syama North or from future discoveries.
  • The Roaster will require the addition of oxygen to handle the expanded milling and crushing capacity.
  • Syama's mining, processing, site administration costs and royalties incurred in 2022 as disclosed in the Appendix ("Year-to-date 2022 Production and Costs") to Resolute's "Quarterly Activities Report" released to the ASX on 27 October 2022;
  • Current mining and metallurgical performance, specifically this includes: mining rates, plant throughputs and recoveries achieved in 2022 and disclosed in Resolute's "Quarterly Activities Report" released to the ASX on 27 October 2022;
  • Although metallurgical test work will be required during the Syama North Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and subsequent Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), material from the Syama North pits was successfully processed through the Sulphide circuit in 2018; and
  • A forecast long term gold price of $1,700 per ounce.

It is envisaged that this expanded capacity would be fed by material from the Syama North Resource, approximately 54% of which is in the Inferred Resource category, with 42% Indicated and 4% Measured. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised.

TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Resolute shares trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not equate to TERP. TERP is calculated by reference to Resolute's closing price of A$0.205 on 9 November 2022 and the A$140 million underwritten component of the Equity Raising.

Syama North Expansion Potential

Syama North Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

  • 40% increase in Syama North Resource and grade confirmed potential for a new open pit mine adjacent to the Syama processing complex1
  • Updated Resource is currently being used to inform a PFS (due Q1 2023)

Low capex expansion opportunity

  • Low capex development opportunity at Syama North is expected to provide higher grade ore feed sourced from open pit mining for a low capex expansion of the Sulphide circuit by 30-50% to achieve economies of scale and reduce AISC per ounce 2,3
  • Quality of the Syama North ore has the potential to relieve pressure on the Syama underground mine and improve operational flexibility

Drilling

  • Diamond and RC drilling programs at Syama are ongoing with drilling planned for the remainder of 2022
  • Extensional and infill drilling targeting further resource expansion at Syama North, with sulphide mineralisation open at depth and appears to be contiguous along the entire strike length of the Beta and A21 deposits

Key Risks

Key Risks

This section discusses some of the risks associated with an investment in Resolute. Resolute and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") business is subject to a number of risk factors both specific to its business and of a general nature which may impact on the Group's future performance. Before subscribing for New Shares, prospective investors should carefully consider and evaluate whether the Group, its business and the New Shares are suitable to acquire having regard to their investment objectives and financial circumstances and taking into consideration material risk factors. The below list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Group or by investors in Resolute. The below factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Group and the value of the New Shares offered. The offer of New Shares carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Shares. Potential investors should consider the investment carefully and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.

Operational risks

As part of its business operations, the Group carries out drilling, mining and processing activities which carry risk and as such, these activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a number of factors outside the Group's control. These factors include geological conditions, logistical issues (which includes the potential inability to export gold out of Africa), technical difficulties (which includes the failure of plant and other automated equipment), securing and maintaining tenements, shortages of skilled professional staff, weather and construction of efficient processing facilities. The operation may also be affected by force majeure, changes in geology, fires, terrorism, labour disruptions, landslides, the inability to obtain adequate machinery, engineering difficulties and other unforeseen events.

As with most operating mines, Ore Reserves, Mineral Resources and stockpiles are based on estimates of grade, volume and tonnage. The accuracy and precision of these estimates will depend upon drill spacing and other information such as continuity, geology, rock density, metallurgical characteristics, mining dilution, costs which evolve as the mine moves through different parts of the ore body and the gold price assumed in the calculation of the Ore Reserve.

Financial obligations

As at 30 September 2022 the Company has US$185 million outstanding of senior debt with a syndicate of international banks comprising a three-year US$150 million revolving credit facility, currently drawn to US$110 million (due 25 March 2024) and a four-year US$150 million amortising term loan facility currently drawn to US$75 million (due 25 March 2024). The repayment of all debt facilities is dependent on the Group generating sufficient cash flow from the production of gold to make the repayment or alternatively, being able to refinance these facilities.

As at 30 September 2022, total borrowings were US$219.7 million comprising US$185.0 million drawn on the senior debt facility and US$34.7 million drawn on the unsecured overdraft facilities in Senegal and Mali. Any failure to service any of the remaining facilities or to refinance them could result in a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

The Group is currently dependent on production from its key mining assets at the Syama Gold Mine and the Mako Gold Mine in order to generate revenue and cash flow. The Group expects that the Syama Gold Mine and the Mako Gold Mine will continue to provide all of the Group's operating revenues and cash flows from mining operations at least in the short to medium-term.

The achievement of the Group's operational targets and ability to produce the expected amounts of gold are subject to the completion of planned operational goals on time and according to budget, and are dependent on the effective support of the Group's personnel, systems, procedures and controls. Any failure of these or any adverse mining conditions at the mines may result in delays in the achievement of operational targets with a consequent material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Key Risks (continued)

Licences and approvals

The Group's exploration, development and mining activities are dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance, renewal or granting of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintenance, renewal and granting of these tenement rights depends on the Group being successful in obtaining required statutory approvals and complying with regulatory processes (including the stamping and registration of documentation relating to these tenement rights). A failure to obtain these statutory approvals or comply with these regulatory processes may adversely affect the Group's title to such tenement rights and which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Further, there is no guarantee or assurance that the licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents will be renewed or extended as and when required or that new conditions will not be imposed in connection with the Group's prospecting licences and mining lease. The renewal or grant of the terms of each licence and mining lease is usually at the discretion of the relevant government authority. To the extent such approvals, consents or renewals are not obtained, the Group may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration, development and mining activities or proceeding with any future development which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

While the Group has attempted to diligently investigate its title to, and rights and interests in, the licences held by it, and, to the best of its knowledge, such title and interest are in good standing, this should not be construed as a guarantee of the same. The licences may be subject to undetected defects. Although the Group has not to date discovered any such defects, if a defect does exist it is possible that the Group may lose all or part of its interest in those of the licences to which the defect relates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental

All phases of the Group's operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Group's operations

Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which the Group holds interests which are unknown to the Group at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties and there is potential that the Group may have to bear the burden of any rectification costs for any environmental hazards that arise and become known to the Group.

Government approvals and permits are current and may in the future be required in connection with the operations of the Group. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Group may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing its mining operations or from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties or sale of gold.

Operations at the Syama Gold Mine include a number of potential risks in relation to various emissions being above legal requirements and/or resulting in harm as a result of the operation of a roaster, tailings dam (sulphate and cyanide) and dust. Consequences of this risk are loss of licence to operate, reputational damage and material fines.

The Group's activities at the Mako Gold Mine employ processes and chemicals that may be harmful to the environment. The Mako Gold Mine has been designed both as a zero discharge project during the operational phase, and to avoid physical resettlement and minimise economic resettlement. As a result, the Group will work to both minimise the environmental impact of its operations at all times and where possible seek to enhance the environment around the Mako Gold Mine. Notwithstanding this undertaking, there is potential for environmental and safety hazards to be present at the Mako Gold Mine as a result of the processes and chemicals used in extraction and production of gold. Such environmental and safety hazards may involve the inadvertent or unforeseen discharge of materials and contaminants into the environment, the disturbance of land and other potential harm to the environment.

This risk is further increased by the Mako Gold Mine's proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Niokolo-Koba National Park ("PNNK") and the Gambia River, both of which are environmentally sensitive areas. Any inadvertent or unforeseen discharge of materials and contaminants into the environment, the disturbance of land and other potential harm to the environment could carry with it a higher risk of reputational damage and/or losses associated with environmental hazards and rehabilitation than were a comparable incident to occur in a less environmentally sensitive area. Any reputational consequences, actions or payments may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operationsand financial condition and the price of the New Shares .

If any such environmental risks outlined above materialised, the consequences of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Change in government regulations

The Group's mineral exploration and planned development activities are subject to various laws governing prospecting, mining, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use and other matters. Although the Group's exploration, mining and planned development activities are currently believed by the Group to be carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development.

Many of the Group's mineral rights and interests are subject to governmental approvals, licences and permits. The granting and enforcement of the terms of such approvals, licences and permits are, as a practical matter, subject to the discretion of the applicable governments or governmental officials. No assurance can be given that the Group will be successful in maintaining any or all of the various approvals, licenses and permits in full force and effect without modification or revocation. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Group may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing or proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties.

Failure to comply with Applicable Laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties such as the Group, engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of mineral properties may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of Applicable Laws or regulations.

Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Group and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

Although the Group has not experienced any material changes in law or regulation which have affected its business, if there was such a material change, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Key Risks (continued)

Gold price

As a producer of gold, earnings of the Company are correlated to the price of gold.

The gold price fluctuates and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include, but are not limited to, world demand for gold and other metals, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major metal-producing regions, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation and deflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, the global and regional supply of, and demand for, jewellery and industrial products containing metals, production levels, inventories, costs of substitutes, changes in global or regional investment or consumption patterns, sales by central banks and other holders, speculators and producers of gold in response to any of the above factors, and global and regional political and economic factors.

A decline in the market price of gold may have a material adverse impact on the Group's projects and anticipated future operations. Such a decline could also have a material adverse impact on the ability of the Group to finance the exploration, mining and development of its existing and future mineral projects and may also impact operations by requiring a reassessment on the feasibility of a particular project. Even if a project is determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct a reassessment following an adverse gold price movement may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed. The Group will also have to assess the economic impact of any sustained lower gold prices on recoverability and therefore, on cut-off grades and the level of its Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources. The revenue the Group derives through the sale of gold is exposed to gold price risks, which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Operating and capital costs

Operating and capital costs are estimated based on the interpretation of geological data, feasibility studies, anticipated climatic conditions and other factors. Any of the following events, among the other events and uncertainties described in this document could affect the ultimate accuracy of such estimates and result in an increase in actual operating and/or capital costs incurred: (i) unanticipated changes in grade and tonnage of gold ore to be mined and processed; (ii) incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made; (iii) equipment delays; (iv) labour disputes and negotiations; (v) changes in government regulation including regulations regarding prices, cost of consumables, royalties, duties, taxes, permitting and restrictions on production quotas on exportation of minerals; and (vi) title claims which may have a material adverse effect on the prospects of the Group.

Replacement of Ore Reserves

Resolute must continually replace Ore Reserves depleted by production to maintain production levels over the long term. Ore Reserves can be replaced by expanding known ore bodies, locating new deposits or making acquisitions. There is a risk that depletion of Ore Reserves will not be offset by discoveries or acquisitions or that divestitures of assets will lead to a lower Ore Reserve base. The Ore Reserve base of Resolute may decline if reserves are mined without adequate replacement and Resolute may not be able to sustain production beyond the current mine lives, based on current production rates. Exploration is highly speculative in nature and costly. Resolute's exploration projects involve risks and therefore may be unsuccessful. Any unsuccessful exploration projects may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

There is also no assurance that current or future exploration programs will be successful. Also, if a discovery is made, it may, in some cases, take up to a decade or longer from the initial phases of exploration drilling until mining is permitted and production is possible.

Tax treatment of non-Australian investors in an Australian company

The Company is organised and exists under the laws of Australia and, as such, the Australian tax regime applies to the distribution of profit and other payments from the Company to its shareholders. The taxation of income from such payments, as well as other income, for instance, from the sale of the New Shares, may vary depending on the tax residence of the Shareholder, as well as the existence and provisions of double tax treaties between a Shareholder's country of residence and Australia. Tax provisions applying to particular shareholders may be unfavourable and/or may change in the future, in a way which has an adverse effect on the tax treatment of a Shareholder's holding of the New Shares.

Change in tax status

Any change in the Group's tax status or in taxation legislation in any jurisdiction in which the Group operates could affect the Group's profitability and ability to make returns to shareholders.

Tax risks relating to the Syama Gold Mine

The Company's accounts as at 30 June 2022 included a provision for US$25 million for indirect taxes for Resolute's subsidiaries Société des Mines de Syama S.A ("SOMISY") and Société des Mines de Finkolo S.A ("SOMIFI") in Mali, for the tax years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020. The factual basis and validity of these demands have been strongly disputed by Resolute due to fundamental misinterpretations of the application of certain tax laws applicable to each of the entities with reference to the provisions of each of SOMISY's and SOMIFI's respective Establishment Conventions. Resolute continues to work with its legal and tax advisors to contest the demand and will resist any efforts to enforce payment. There can be no certainty that Resolute will be able to successfully dispute the tax claimed by the Mali Tax Authorities.

The Company's accounts as at 30 June 2022 included receivables totalling US$11.9 million in relation to: VAT the Company has paid and is entitled to have repaid by the Malian tax authority; and fuel duty receivable relating to amounts paid between January 2018 and October 2021 on exonerated fuel. In addition, the accounts include an income tax asset of US$16.9 million relating to historical amounts owing from the Malian government for cash overpayments for income tax paid by both SOMISY and SOMIFI. Whilst the Company maintains that these balances are recoverable, given the current financial position of the Malian government, there remains a risk that the Company may not be able to recover these amounts.

Tax risks relating to the Mako Gold Mine

The Group also benefits from a number of tax benefits that are dependent on its future exploration activities at the Mako Gold Mine being successful.

Pursuant to the terms of the Mining Convention, PMC is fully exempted from corporate income and other taxes (including VAT, export taxes and certain stamp duties), for a period of seven years until July 2023. However, if, within two and a half years of commencement of gold production (being July 2020) PMC has not added at least one additional year of production to the initial life of mine, this tax exemption would have expired in July 2021. PMC submitted the application for the extension of the exemption to seven years to the Government, showing that it had extended the mine life by at least one additional year following a successful exploration programme.

On 31 December 2021, the Senegal Ministry of Mines advised that it had not granted the expected extension of the tax exoneration period from 5 years to 7 years (the "Exoneration Extension"). Resolute is disputing this position and is firmly of the view that it has satisfied all relevant grounds for the Exoneration Extension to be granted, specifically the two year extension to the mine life. Resolute is working with the Senegalese authorities to resolve this matter and has received confirmation from the Minister of Mines advising that they will review the Exoneration Extension.

Key Risks (continued)

Notwithstanding this, as required under the relevant accounting standards, a provision of US$44.6 million has been recognised in the Company's accounts to 30 June 2022 in relation to customs, duties and income taxes the Company may be required to pay if it were to be unsuccessful in obtaining the 2 year extension to tax exoneration until June 2023. The Company believes it has a very strong position in relation to this matter and reserves the right to prosecute this case in an international arbitration court if required. However, there is a risk of material payments being made to the Senegal tax authority in relation to this matter. The loss of such tax exemption could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects and financial results.

On 20 December 2021, as part of its ongoing Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project, the OECD/G20 published Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (known as "Pillar 2"). The proposal – which has been agreed by 137 countries – seeks to ensure that large multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions where they operate by imposing a 15% minimum "effective tax rate". As such, even if the Exoneration Extension is ultimately granted, if tax exonerations cause the Group's global effective tax rate to fall below 15% then top-up taxes may be imposed, depending on how the Pillar 2 rules are implemented by individual jurisdictions.In these circumstances, the overall benefitto the Group of such tax exonerations could be reduced.

Underground mining

The Group's current mine plans at its projects involve mining of certain orebodies through underground mining methods. Underground mining can be more complex than open pit mining and any expansion into underground mining will also bring with it a new set of mining risks including orebody continuity and faulting, ventilation, cave-ins and flooding. These risks can affect or prevent ongoing underground operations, which can adversely affect the Group's ability to extract ore from its projects, and consequently its profitability and the price of its shares. The additional complexity involved in underground mining also increases the risk of capital cost increases or delays occurring in the underground development timetable. Any delays in the delivery of ore to the processing plant could lead to production shortfalls or a requirement to amend the overall project mine plan which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Industrial disputes

Relations between the Group and its employees may be affected by changes in the scheme of labour relations that may be introduced by the relevant governmental authorities in whose jurisdictions the Group carries on business. Changes in such legislation or in the relationship between the Group and its employees may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Group has approximately 1,164 direct employees and incurs substantial labour costs in order to conduct its operations. In addition, the required labour force may expand and total labour costs may increase substantially. Changes to the prevailing labour costs in Australia, Mali, and or Senegal, may also lead to an increase in total labour costs.

Mali also has a relatively high level of industrial disputes, which could result in disruption to the Group's mining projects at the Syama Gold Mine. Any extended industrial action could have a material adverse effect on the production output from the mine and the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

If for any reason the Group seeks to reduce its workforce, for example if it does not meet operational targets and is required to scale back operations to conserve capital, there may be significant termination costs associated with reducing the size of the workforce. There may also be political and community concerns about any significant reduction in the workforce at any of its projects.

As the Group's business grows, it may require additional key financial, administrative, mining, marketing and public relations personnel as well as additional staff for operations. In addition, given the remote location of the assets, the lack of infrastructure in the nearby surrounding areas, and the shortage of a readily available labour force in the mining industry in those areas, the Group may experience difficulties retaining the requisite skilled employees in Mali and Senegal. While the Group believes that it will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel and employees, there can be no assurance of such success.

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 Group is, or may become a party; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Group in any of its activities; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Group for any activity which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Access to infrastructure

Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to a significant degree, on adequate infrastructure. In the course of developing future mines, the Group, may need to construct and support the construction of infrastructure, which includes permanent water supplies, tailings storage facilities, power, maintenance facilities and logistics services and access roads. Reliable rail facilities, roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could materially adversely affect the Group's operations, financial condition and results of operations. Any such issues arising in respect of the supporting infrastructure or on the Group's sites could materially adversely affect the Group's results of operations or financial condition. Furthermore, any failure or unavailability of the Group's operational infrastructure (for example, through equipment failure or disruption to its transportation arrangements) could materially adversely affect the production output from its mines or impact its exploration activities or development of a mine or project.

Specifically, the Syama Gold Mine, and to a lesser extent the Mako Gold Mine, are remote mine sites with extensive supply lines supporting operations and relatively poor transport infrastructure. The risk of any interruption to the supply chain may result in shortage or absences of key materials and consumables causing delays or suspension of production, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Reclamation/rehabilitation costs

The Group's operations are subject to costs to reclaim properties after the minerals have been mined from the site. The obligation represents a future cost for the Group. As mine plans are estimates only and subject to change, the current estimate may not represent the actual amount required to complete all reclamation activity. If actual costs are significantly higher than the Group's estimates, its financial performance may be materially affected which in turn could have a detrimental impact on the value of the New Shares .

Tailings Storage Facilities

Tailings Storage Facilities ("TSF") store large amounts of mining waste which are generated as a by-product when extracting minerals. As such, they can pose serious threats to humans and the environment, especially in case of their improper design, handling or management. Thus, a failure may result in uncontrolled spills of tailings, dangerous flow-slides or the release of hazardous substances, leading to major environmental catastrophes and potential casualties and loss of life. The effective and safe disposal of mining wastes presents technical and environmental issues. Any failure of a TSF may have material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Climate change

Resolute acknowledges the impacts of climate change and understands that its assets located in Mali and Senegal may, from time-to-time, experience severe climatic conditions. Severe weather events, such as torrential rain, potentially causing flooding, could have a material adverse effect on operations, including on the delivery of supplies, equipment and fuel, and exploration and production levels which in turn could negatively impact the financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Key Risks (continued)

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic can still impact global commodity prices and lockdowns in other countries such as the local lockdowns in China have created logistical disruptions.

Nevertheless, the global impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has created volatility in commodity prices and resulted in government-regulated restrictions which have placed pressure on supply chain structures.

Resolute's operations have not been materially impacted by Government regulated COVID-19 related restrictions and the Group has not amended current production or cost guidance due to COVID-19 related restrictions or issues.

Resolute will continue to assess and update the Group's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Re-escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the implementation of further government-regulated restrictions or extended periods of supply chain disruption, has the potential to impact gold production, earnings, cash flow and the Company's balance sheet (including carrying value of the Syama Gold Mine and the Mako Gold Mine) which would in turn affect the value of the New Shares.

Interruptions to supply of services and equipment

The Group relies on the supply and availability of various services and equipment in order to successfully run its operations. For example, timely delivery of mining equipment and consumables (such as fuel) and the availability of such equipment and consumables is essential to the Group's ability to produce gold. Any delay to the supply and availability of the various services and equipment may have material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial conditionand prospects of the Group.

Competition

The mineral resource industry is competitive in all of its phases. The Group competes with other companies, including major mining companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Group and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. The Group competes with other mining companies for the acquisition of mining leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel. Specifically, the Group also competes with many other companies in Australia, Mali and Senegal. There can be no assurance that the Group can compete effectively with these companies.

External financing

The Group's current operations and expansion plans do not envisage that additional funding or capital will be required within the next 18 months. However, mining operations, exploration and development involve significant financial risk and capital investment and the Group may require additional funding in the future to expand its business and may also require additional capital in the future to, among other things, develop some of the Group's permits or take advantage of any acquisition opportunities. While the Directors are currently of the view that the Company would be able to raise additional funding on commercially acceptable terms if required, there is no guarantee that this will be the case.

In such circumstances, the Group may need to seek funding from third parties if internally generated cash resources and available credit facilities, if any, are insufficient to finance these activities. Any debt financing, if available, may involve financial or other covenants which may limit the Group's operations and principal amounts under any debt financing arrangements entered into by the Group may become immediately due and payable if it fails to meet certain restrictive covenants. Failure to obtain such additional funding, if required in the future, may have a material or adverse effect on the Group and its financial position.

Disputes

Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of the Group's activities. There have been a number of cases where the rights and privileges of mining and exploration companies have been the subject of litigation. The Directors cannot preclude that such litigation may be brought against the Company or a member of the Group in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group. Even defending claims that are without merit may result in significant costs as well as diverting management's time and attention.

Key personnel

The Group is reliant on a number of key personnel. The loss of one or more of its key personnel could have an adverse impact on the business of the Group. Furthermore, it may be particularly difficult for the Group to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people, given the competition from other industry participants, the location of its operations and the relevant size of the Group.

The loss of, or diminution in, the services of qualified mining specialists or of members of the Group's senior management team or an inability to attract and retain additional senior management and/or mining personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is no assurance that the Group will successfully continue to retain existing specialised personnel and senior management or attract additional experienced and qualified senior management and/or mining personnel required to successfully execute and implement the Group's business plan, which will be particularly important as the Group expands. Competition for such personnel is intense. The loss of such personnel and the failure to successfully recruit replacements in a timely manner, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Key Risks (continued)

Uninsured or uninsurable risks

The business of the Group is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions and floods. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Group or others, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although the Group maintains insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations and insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Group may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Group or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. Losses from these events may cause the Group to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.

Gold hedging

Resolute currently has certain gold price hedging arrangements in place and may in the future choose to or be required to enter into further gold price hedging arrangements. Although gold price hedging activities may protect Resolute in certain instances, they may also limit the price that can be realised on the proportion of recovered gold that is subject to any hedges. If the market price for gold exceeds the hedged contract price, this could result in less revenue being received for the gold that is subject to the hedge than could be obtained if the gold were sold on market.

Currency fluctuations

Resolute is an Australian business that reports in United States dollars. The Group receives proceeds on the sale of its gold production in United States dollars and its expenses and costs for operating the business are generally denominated in US dollars, West African CFA, Euro, with a small percentage in Australian dollars. Movements in these currencies exposes the Group to foreign exchange risk. Therefore, movements in currency exchange rates may adversely or beneficially affect Resolute's results of operations, its cash flows and financial performance.

General economic and political climate

Changes in the general economic and political climate in Africa, Australia and the UK and on a global basis that could impact on economic growth, gold prices, interest rates, the rate of inflation, taxation and tariff laws, domestic security which may affect the value and viability of any gold activity that may be conducted by the Group.

Changes in accounting or financial reporting standards

Any changes in accounting or financial reporting standards may adversely impact the reported financial performance of the Group.

Health and safety

Mining operations, and in particular underground mining operations, are inherently dangerous workplaces. The Group's mining operations often place its employees and others in close proximity with large pieces of mechanised equipment, moving vehicles, mining processes, regulated materials and other hazardous conditions. As a result, the Group is subject to a variety of health and safety laws and regulations dealing with occupational health and safety. Additionally, the Group's safety record can impact the Group's reputation. Any failure to maintain safe work sites could expose the group to significant financial losses as well as civil and criminal liabilities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a serious threat to maintaining a skilled workforce on the ground at all of the Group's mining locations and business continuity programs established to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all employees and contractors while maintaining Group operations.

Furthermore, other diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria also represent a serious threat to maintaining a skilled workforce in the mining industry in Mali and Senegal. HIV/AIDS is a major healthcare challenge faced by the Group's operations. There can be no assurance that the Group will not lose members of its workforce or workforce man-hours or incur increased medical costs which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Processing

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon metallurgical processes, which by their nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

(a) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;

(b) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and

(c) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.

The Group has a number of processing plants that are designed to treat a variety of ore sources with varying metallurgical properties. It is possible that future ore sources may exhibit metallurgical characteristics that are different from those that have been treated to date and that this may result in lower recoveries and/or higher processing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Sale of the Bibiani Gold Mine

On 24 August 2022, Resolute agreed with Asante Gold Corporation ("Asante") a deferred payment arrangement for the final tranche of US$30.0 million (plus US$2.7 million in respect of an environmental bond) previously due on 22 August 2022. The revised payment terms are as follows:

  • payment of US$10.0 million on or before 19 September 2022, which was received on time;
  • payment of US$10.0 million on or before 19 October 2022, which was received on time; and
  • payment of US$12.7 million and all interest payable on or before 18 November 2022.

The terms of the revised pay arrangements under the Share Sale Agreement include payment by Asante of interest on outstanding amounts at commercial rates. Upon receipt of these amounts, US$30.0 million will be applied to the Company's Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) as a mandatory prepayment.

39 Not for distribution or release in the United States There is a risk that Asante will be unable to pay the remaining payment of $12.7 million, plus interest. Should the Asante payments not be received, the Company is not required to make the mandatory payment of this amount to the RCF until June 2023.

Key Risks (continued)

Sale proceeds of the Ravenswood Gold Mine

The sale of the Ravenswood Gold Mine completed on 31 March 2020 to a consortium comprising a fund ("EMR Fund") managed by EMR Capital Management Limited ("EMR Capital"), and Golden Energy and Resources Limited (SGX:AUE) ("GEAR") (together, the "Buyer"). EMR Capital and GEAR are committed to progressing the Ravenswood Expansion Project.

Under the terms of the sale, the Group received upfront cash proceeds of A$50 million. The Group is also entitled to A$50 million in March 2027 via a promissory note, which attracts a 6% coupon that is capitalised and payable at maturity. In addition, the Company may receive up to an additional A$200 million in deferred consideration contingenton certain events occurring, as follows:

  • A$50 million linked to the average gold price over the four-year period and contingent on Ravenswood producing 500,000ounces of gold to March 2024; and
  • up to A$150 million linked to the investment outcomes of the Ravenswood Gold Mine for EMR Capital.

If the Buyer does not progress redevelopment activities within a timely manner, the ability of the Group to realise the entire A$200 million may be detrimentally impacted.

Political and security instability in Mali and Senegal

The Group's properties in Mali and Senegal may be subject to the effects of political changes, war and civil conflict, changes in government policy, lack of law enforcement, labour unrest and the creation of new laws. These changes (which may include new or modified taxes or other government levies as well as other legislation) may impact the profitability and viability of its properties. The effect of unrest and instability on political, social or economic conditions in Mali and Senegal could result in the impairment of exploration, development and mining operations. Any such changes are beyond the control of the Group and may adversely affect its business.

The political and security situation in Mali has been unstable since 2012 when a Tuareg separatist group, the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad ("MNLA"), started a rebellion in the Sahel region in the north of the country. In March 2012, then President Amadou Toumani Toure was deposed in a military coup. The military transferred power to a civiliangovernment in April 2012.

The Tuareg rebels are fighting for autonomy in northern Mali, while more extreme Islamist armed groups fight for implementation of Sharia law in the region. At the same time, the government has struggled to regain stability after a military coup in March 2012 that was prompted by discontent over the government's inability to deal with the insurgency in the north.

In August 2020 another military coup took place, with Colonel Goita seizing power and inserting a civilian government. A further coup took place in May 2021, with Colonel Goita removing the civilian government and appointing himself as President and head of an interim military government. In December 2021 at the end of the National Conference on Rebuilding the State of Mali, the authorities informed that the proposals made on the transition period are between six months and five years, then the Economic Community of West African States ("ECOWAS") imposed economic sanctions on Mali. After negotiating to reduce the time period to democratic elections to February 2024, ECOWAS subsequently removed sanctions in July 2022.

Security, which is critical for ensuring economic recovery and poverty reduction, remains fragile, with continuing attacks on the UN force and the Malian army by terrorist groups, mainly in northern regions of Mali. Isolated terrorist attacks have also been recorded in the capital, Bamako, although none of the gold mining and exploration areas have been the subject of attacks. Terrorist actions and conflict in Mali and the Sahel region could negatively impact the Group's people, operations, and broader supply chain. A significant and sustained escalation of terrorist activity in the region may negatively affect the Group's business and impact the profitability and viability of its properties.

In addition, local governmental and traditional authorities in Mali and Senegal may exercise significant influence with respect to local land use, land labour and local security. From time to time, various governments around the world, albeit not in any jurisdictions in which the Group at the relevant time had operations, have intervened in the export of gold in response to concerns about the validity of export rights and payment of royalties. No assurances can be given that the co-operation of such authorities, if sought by the Group, will be obtained, and if obtained, maintained. This could result in a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, in the event of a dispute arising from foreign operations, the Group may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of Australian, English or international courts. The Group also may be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Any such dispute or restrictions on the Group's rights could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The shareholders' agreement signed between the State of Mali and the operating company

The legal systems operating in the main jurisdictions the Group operates in, being Mali and Senegal may be less developed than more established countries, which may result in risk such as:

  • (a) 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;
  • (b) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies;
  • (c) the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations including, in particular, as regards local taxation and property rights;
  • (d) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; and/or
  • (e) 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, licence application or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of the government authorities or others and the effectiveness and enforcement of such arrangements cannot be assured which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Key Risks (continued)

Repatriation of earnings

The Group conducts a significant portion of its operations through, to varying degrees, subsidiaries incorporated in Mali and Senegal and holds significant assets in such subsidiaries. Accordingly, any limitation on the transfer of cash or other assets between the Group and its subsidiaries could restrict the Group's ability to fund its operations efficiently. Any such limitations, or the perception that such limitations may exist now or in the future, could have an adverse impact on the Group's valuation and stock price. Moreover, there is no assurance that Mali or Senegal or any other foreign country in which the Group may operate in the future will not impose restrictions on the repatriation of earnings to foreign entities.

Although the Group has not experienced and is not currently experiencing any issues in relation to the transfer of cash or other assets between the Company and its subsidiaries, if such issues materialised they could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. One of the practical difficulties may also be that when paying abroad, the operating bank does not have enough currency to make the payment. In this case it usually purchases foreign currency in international market and this may lead to additional costs in the transaction.

Notwithstanding this, it should be noted that current payments to foreign countries outside the member States of the West African Economic and Monetary Union ("WAEMU") are carried out according to the principle of freedom, mainly by banks subject to the presentation of the appropriate supporting documentation in accordance with article 4 the regulations applicable in Mali, namely Regulation No. 09/2010/CM/UEMOA/ on external financial relations of member WAEMU. Current authorised payments include payment of interest and dividends, shares and profits from companies or partnerships, operating income from businesses etc.

Corruption or bribery

Countries in Africa can experience relatively higher levels of criminal activity and governmental and business corruption. Exploration and mining companies operating in certain areas of Africa may be particular targets of criminal actions. Criminal or corrupt action against the Group could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, operations, financial performance, cash flow and future prospects. In addition, the fear of criminal or corrupt actions against the Group could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Group to adequately staff and/or manage its operations or could substantially increase the costs of doing so.

By doing business in Mali and Senegal, the Group could face, directly or indirectly, corrupt demands by officials, militant groups or private entities. Consequently, the Group faces the risk that one or more of its employees, agents, intermediaries or consultants may make or receive unauthorised payments given that such persons may not always be subject to its control.

Although the Group has policies and procedures designed to ensure that the Group's employees, agents, intermediaries and consultants comply with anti-corruption legislation, there is no assurance that such policies or procedures will work effectively all of the time or protect the Group against liability under any such legislation for actions taken by its agents, employees, intermediaries and consultants with respect to its business.

Furthermore, any remediation measures taken in response to potential or alleged violations of anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws, including any necessary changes or enhancements to the Group's procedures, policies and controls and potential personnel changes and/or disciplinary actions, may result in increased compliance costs.

Any such findings, or any alleged or actual involvement in corrupt practices or other illegal activities by the Group or its commercial partners or anyone with whom it conducts business could damage its reputation and its ability to do business, including by affecting its rights and title to assets or by the loss of key personnel, and together with any increased compliance costs, could adversely affect its business, operations, financial performance, cash flow and future prospects.

Sovereign action

The Group is exposed to the risk of adverse sovereign action by the governments of Mali and Senegal. The mining industry is important to the economies of these countries and thus can be expected to be the focus of continuing attention and debate. In similar circumstances in other developing countries, mining companies have faced the risks of expropriation and/or nationalisation, breach or abrogation of project agreements, application to such companies of laws and regulations from which they were intended to be exempt, denials of required permits and approvals, increases in royalty rates and taxes that were intended to be stable, application of exchange or capital controls, and other risks which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

There can be no assurance that industries deemed of national or strategic importance to countries in Africa such as mineral production will not be nationalised. Government policy may change to discourage foreign investment, re-nationalisation of mining industries may occur and other government limitations, restrictions or requirements not currently foreseen may be implemented. There can be no assurance that the Group's assets in Africa will not be subject to nationalisation, requisition or confiscation, whether legitimate or not, by any authority or body. Similarly, the Group's operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation, mine safety and annual payments to maintain mineral properties in good standing. There can be no assurance that the laws of Mali or Senegal protecting foreign investments, will not be amended or abolished or that these existing laws will be enforced or interpreted to provide adequate protection against any or all of the risks detailed above. There can be no assurance that any agreements with the governments of Mali and Senegal will prove to be enforceable or provide adequate protection against any or all of the risks described above which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

However, it is noted that:

  • Article 7 of Law No. 2012-016 of 27 February 2012 on the investment code of Mali, as amended, states that "The state guarantees respect for individual or collective property rights. The investor is guaranteed against any measure of nationalisation, expropriation or requisition of his business, except for reasons of public utility. In such cases, the investor shall be compensated in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations"; and
  • Article 30 of the Establishment Agreement signed between the Government of the Republic of Mali and SYAMA states that: "30.1 Subject to Article 30.2 below, no Mining Activity of the Company within the Perimeter covered by the Convention may be subject to nationalisation or expropriation by the State."

Illegal mining activity in Mali

Issues of illegal mining have arisen over the years within Mali. This illegal mining has largely involved operations run by local inhabitants who do so to supplement their earnings. Illegal mining activities have the potential to affect the Group's operational performance which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Group.

Investment risk

Prospective investors should be aware that the value of the New Shares may go down as well as up and that the market price of the New Shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Company. Investors may therefore realise less than, or lose all of, their investment.

The price at which the New Shares are quoted and the price at which investors may realise their New Shares may be influenced by a significant number of factors, some specific to the Group and its operations and some which affect quoted companies generally. These factors could include the performance of the Group, large purchases or sales of the New Shares, legislative changes and general, economic, political or regulatory conditions.

Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining companies may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Group's operational performance.

Australian Takeovers regime

The Company is subject to requirements for takeovers under Australian law which may affect a bidder's ability to freely acquire New Shares. In addition, the Australian Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act generally prohibits a "foreign person" (generally, any person or entity that is not an Australian resident but including any Australian company in which a "foreign person" has voting power of at least 20%, or two or more "foreign persons" hold an aggregate interest of at least 40%), together with its associates, from either directly or indirectly acquiring an interest in 20% or more of the Company's issued shares, without first giving notice to the Australian Treasurer through the Foreign Investment Review Board, and complying with certain other requirements, and either the Australian Treasurer having stated that there is no objection to the acquisition or a statutory period having expired without the Australian Treasurer objecting.

Further, the Constitutioncontains provisions in relation to "proportional takeover bids" designed to protect Shareholders in the event that a bidder makes a bid for a proportion, but not all, of the New Shares. Such provisions may affect a bidder's ability to freely acquire the New Shares. In particular, the Constitution provides that a majority of the Shareholders in a general meeting must approve a proportional takeover bid in order for it to proceed.

Liquidity

There is a risk that trading in the Company's shares (and in particular the New Shares) may be suspended from trading on the LSE or the ASX.

The Company's shares may be delisted from the LSE or the ASX.

The past performance of the Company's shares on the ASX/LSE cannot be treated as indicative of the likely future development of the market and future demand for the New Shares. The lack of a liquid public market for the Company's shares on the ASX and/or LSE may have a negative effect on the ability of shareholders or investors to sell their New Shares, or adversely affect the price at which the holders are able to sell their New Shares. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any trading in the New Shares, or that the New Shares will be actively traded on the ASX or the LSE in the future.

Dual listing

The Company's shares are listed on the ASX and the LSE. An application will be made to admit the New Shares to the Main Market. Consequently, the trading in and liquidity of the Company's shares is split between these two exchanges. Moreover, the price of the company's shares may fluctuate, and may at any time be different on the ASX and the LSE and vice versa. Differences that occur in settlement and clearing systems, trading currencies, transaction costs and other factors may hinder the transferability of the New Shares between the exchanges. This could adversely affect the trading of the New Shares on these exchanges and increase their price volatility and/or adversely affect the price and liquidity of the New Shares on these exchanges.

The Company's shares are quoted and traded in Australian Dollars on the ASX and are quoted and traded in pounds sterling on the LSE. The market price of the Company's shares on those exchanges may also differ due to exchange rate fluctuations. The shares traded on the ASX are settled and cleared through the ASX Settlement. The shares traded on the LSE are settled and cleared through the CREST system.

Opinions of securities or industry analysts

Both the market price and trading volume of the New Shares may depend on the opinions of the securities analysts monitoring the operations of the Group and publishing their research reports on its future performance. The Company has no control over these analysts, who may downgrade their recommended prices for the New Shares at any time, issue opinions which are not in conformity with the Board's view, or may drop coverage of the Company altogether.

All the above-mentioned events may have an adverse impact on the trading volume and price of the New Shares.

Dividends

The Company paid dividends on its shares for the three full financial years ending 30 June 2016, 2017 and 2018. Dividends were not paid for the six month period ended 31 December 2018, nor for the full financial years ending 31 December 2019, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2021. In addition, no dividend was paid for the six month period till 30 June 2022. The Company's policy anticipates a minimum annual dividend payment equivalent to the value of 2% of the Group's annual gold sales, provided that all operating and reasonable corporate and exploration expenses can be funded. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains fully at the discretion of the Board after taking into account a number of factors, including, but not limited to, compliance with the Australian Corporations Act 2001, the Company's financial and operating results, anticipated current and future cash requirements, future opportunities and prospects, general financial conditions and other factors deemed relevant.

Local currency

The New Shares have no nominal value, and will be quoted and traded:

(a) in pounds sterling on the LSE; and

(b) in Australian Dollars on ASX.

In addition, any potential dividends the Company may pay in the future will be declared and paid in Australian Dollars. Shareholders buying shares on the LSE should take into account a potential risk arising from adverse movements in the value of their local currency against the Australian Dollar.

Non-Australian shareholders

The Company is organised and exists under Australian law. Accordingly, the rights and obligations of the Company's Shareholders are regulated by Australian corporate law and the Company's Shareholders must follow Australian legal requirements in order to exercise their rights, in particular the resolutions of the shareholders in a general meeting may be passed with majorities different from the majorities required for the adoption of equivalent resolutions under English law or other laws. Additionally, to the extent that pre-emptive rights are granted, Shareholders in the Company in some jurisdictions may experience difficulties, or may be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights. Should the Company's share capital be increased in the future, the Company's Shareholders who will not exercise their priority right to subscription of new shares should take into account that their interest in the Company's share capital may be diluted upon the issuance of new shares.

Furthermore, the Company's Shareholders holding their New Shares through CREST should also take into consideration the arrangements between CHESS and CREST, as well as CREST rules governing settlement of securities in non-UK registered companies in this respect. As a result, the exercise of certain shareholder rights may be more difficult or costly than the exercise of rights in other companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Foreign Selling Restrictions

This document does not constitute an offer of new ordinary shares ("New Shares") of the Company in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful.

Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)

This document constitutes an offering of New Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the "Provinces") and to those persons to whom they may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such New Shares. This document is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons that are "accredited investors" within the meaning of NI 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

No securities commission or similar authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the New Shares or the offering of New Shares and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of New Shares or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the New Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws which may require resales to be made in accordance with exemptions from dealer registration and prospectus requirements. These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the New Shares outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the New Shares.

The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Any financial information contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission

Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

Foreign Selling Restrictions (continued)

The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Shares purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Company if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the Company. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Shares during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Company, provided that (a) the Company will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Shares with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, the Company is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that the Company proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Shares as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Shares were offered.

Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Shares as any discussion of taxation related matters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.

Language of documents in Canada. Upon receipt of this document, each investor in Canada hereby confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the New Shares (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only. Par la réception de ce document, chaque investisseur canadien confirme par les présentes qu'il a expressément exigé que tous les documents faisant foi ou se rapportant de quelque manière que ce soit à la vente des valeurs mobilières décrites aux présentes (incluant, pour plus de certitude, toute confirmation d'achat ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

Institutional Offer Complete Underwriting increased to A$164m

Highlights

  • Strong demand from high-quality, eligible existing and new domestic and international investors resulted in upsizing of underwritten component of the Equity Raising from A$140m to A$164m
  • Successful completion of the bookbuild for the Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer to raise approximately A$96m
  • Cornerstone support of A$55m received by high quality North American institutional investor Condire, resulting in a pro forma shareholding of up to 16.2%1
  • Proceeds to strengthen the balance sheet and provide a financial platform for growth
  • Retail Entitlement Offer to raise up to A$104 million (A$68 million of which is underwritten) opens on Thursday, 17 November 2022, and is expected to close at 7.00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 5 December 2022
  • Equity Raising provides refreshed management team with the financial flexibility to continue to execute on demonstrated operational turnaround

Resolute Mining Limited (ASX/LSE: RSG, Resolute or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the bookbuild for the institutional placement (Placement) and the institutional component (Institutional Entitlement Offer, together with the Placement the Institutional Offer) of the 1-for-1.11 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer) (together the Equity Raising or Offer), as announced on 10 November 2022.

The Placement raised approximately A$41 million through the issue of approximately 258 million new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (New Shares) at an offer price of A$0.16 per New Share (Offer Price). The Institutional Entitlement Offer and shortfall bookbuild for entitlements not taken up (Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild) raised approximately A$55 million through the issue of approximately 342 million New Shares at the Offer Price.

Resolute received significant demand during the bookbuild for the Placement, Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild and the Institutional Entitlement Offer from high-quality, eligible existing and new domestic and international institutional investors. Following this strong demand, the underwritten component of the Equity Raising has been increased from A$140 million to A$164 million. The proceeds of A$164 million will be applied as follows: A$144 million to reduce net debt and A$20 million to fund general working capital, the costs of the equity raising and to support the Company's Syama North expansion plan.

The Equity Raising was anchored by a new international investor, Condire Management, LP (Condire). In consideration of this strong level of support, the Company has offered Condire the right to appoint a nominee to the board of Resolute, whilst their shareholding remains above 15%. Condire have advised they do not intend to accept this offer at the current time*.*

Under the retail component of the Entitlement Offer (Retail Entitlement Offer), A$68 million is underwritten, however in the event the retail offer is fully subscribed, up to an additional A$36 million

can be raised. These proceeds, in conjunction with cash reserves and future free cash flow, would be used to further repay debt, and to support the Company's Syama North expansion plan.

Post Equity Raising, net debt will be reduced from US$156 million at 30 September 2022, to approximately US$55 million2 . The 2023 repayments under the Company's Syndicated Loan Facility of US$90 million can now be met from the proceeds of the Equity Raising.

Terry Holohan, CEO and Managing Director commented:

"We are delighted by the strong support the Company has received for the Equity Raising from both local and international institutions, including several new 'Tier 1' institutions, all of whom share our exciting vision for the Company. This strong support reflects the confidence in Resolute's transition to a sustainable gold producer and will allow the Company to de-risk its balance sheet. The Company is now positioned to pursue a new open pit operation at Syama North, together with low capital expansion options for the Sulphide circuit and continue to systematically grow."

Completion of the Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer

The Placement comprises the issue of approximately 258 million New Shares to raise approximately A$41 million, and approximately 342 million New Shares under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild to raise approximately A$55 million.

The New Shares subscribed for under the Placement, Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild and the Institutional Entitlement Offer are expected to settle on Thursday 17 November 2022, with allotment and normal trading on ASX to commence on Friday 18 November 2022.

This Information Booklet does not contain financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs. Before deciding whether to apply for New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) you should consider whether they are a suitable investment for you in light of your own investment objectives and financial circumstances and having regard to the merits or risks involved. After reading the Information Booklet, and the Investor Presentation released to ASX on 10 November 2022 (in particular, the "Key Risks" section), if you have any questions about the Retail Entitlement Offer, you should contact your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser.

This Information Booklet (and the personalised Entitlement Form) may not be distributed or released to, or relied upon by, persons in the United States.

8.4 Eligible Institutional Shareholders

Eligible Institutional Shareholders are Shareholders who are Institutional Investors that the Underwriters determined in their discretion were eligible to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer and received an offer on behalf of Resolute under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer, and in particular, the question as to whether an eligible shareholder is an Eligible Institutional Shareholder or an Eligible Retail Shareholder, was determined by reference to a number of matters, including legal requirements and regulatory requirements, logistical and registry constraints and the discretion of Resolute and/or the Underwriters. Resolute, the Underwriters and each of their respective Beneficiaries, disclaim any duty or liability (including for fault, negligence and negligent misstatement) in respect of that determination and the exercise or otherwise of that discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8.5 Ranking of New Shares

New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares. The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares are set out in Resolute's constitution, a copy of which is available in the Corporate Governance section at https://www.rml.com.au/.

8.6 Risks

The Investor Presentation details important factors and risks that could affect the financial and operating performance of Resolute. You should refer to the 'Risks' section of the Investor Presentation released to ASX on 10 November 2022 which is included in section 7 of this Information Booklet. You should consider these factors carefully in light of your personal circumstances, including financial and taxation issues, before making a decision in relation to your Entitlement or making any application for Additional New Shares.

8.7 Reconciliation

The Entitlement Offer is a complex structure and, in some instances, Shareholders may believe that they will own more Shares in Resolute than they actually do on the Record Date. This could result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement.

If reconciliation is required, it is possible that Resolute may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares to ensure all Eligible Retail Shareholders receive their full Entitlement. The price at which those New Shares would be issued is the Offer Price.

Resolute also reserves the right to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their entitlement claims prove to be overstated, or if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their entitlement claims, or if they are not Eligible Retail Shareholders.

8.8 No cooling off

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable). You cannot withdraw your application once it has been made.

8.9 Taxation

Taxation implications will vary depending upon the individual circumstances of Eligible Retail Shareholders. You should obtain your own professional advice before deciding whether to invest in New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable).

8.10 Retail Shortfall and Oversubscription Facility

Whilst Resolute believes that the Retail Entitlement Offer will be well received, there may be a Retail Shortfall and Resolute, in consultation with the Underwriters, intends to satisfy the applications for Additional New Shares made by Eligible Retail Shareholders wishing to participate in the Retail Shortfall (if any) as soon as possible after the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer and to issue those Additional New Shares, together with the other New Shares on 12 December 2022, and in any event, by no later than 5 March 2023, being within three months of the Retail Offer closing date.

Resolute does not guarantee that there will be any Retail Shortfall. Resolute confirms that no Related Party will participate in, or be issued any, Additional New Shares arising from any Retail Shortfall.

See section 4.5 on how to apply for Additional New Shares.

8.11 Rounding of Entitlements

Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

8.12 Trading of Entitlements

As outlined in section 3.7 of this Information Booklet, your Entitlement is personal and cannot be traded on ASX, transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with. If you do not take up your Entitlement by 5.00pm (AEDT) on 5 December 2022, your rights will lapse.

8.13 ASX quotation

Subject to approval being granted, quotation of the New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer is expected to commence on 12 December 2022 on a normal trading basis.

Holding statements will be dispatched in accordance with the Listing Rules. It is the responsibility of each applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable).

Any applicant who sells New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of a holding statement will do so at their own risk. The Company, the Underwriter Parties, the Co-Managers and the Registry will have no responsibility for, and disclaim all duty and liability whether in fault, negligence, negligent misstatement or otherwise (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, if applicable) before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company, the Registry or otherwise, or who otherwise trade or purport to trade New Shares in error or which they do not hold or are not entitled to. If you are in any doubt as to these matters, you should first consult with your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

8.14 Rights of the Company

Resolute reserves the right (in its absolute and sole discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims or, if indeed, they are not Eligible Shareholders.

Resolute also reserves the right (in its absolute and sole discretion) to reject any acceptance of an Entitlement and/or Additional New Shares that it believes comes from a person who is not eligible to accept an Entitlement.

8.15 Notice to nominees

If the Company believes you hold Shares as a nominee or custodian you will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter in respect of the Retail Entitlement Offer from Resolute. Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that letter and note in particular that the Retail Entitlement Offer is not available to, and they must not purport to accept the Retail Entitlement Offer in respect of:

  • beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Shares who would not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder; or
  • Shareholders who are not eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Persons acting as custodians or nominees must not take up Entitlements or apply for New Shares on behalf of a person in the United States and must not send any document relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer to any person that is in the United States.

Resolute is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. Where any holder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether that beneficiary is an Eligible Retail Shareholder and whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws. Resolute is not able to advise on foreign laws. Eligible Retail Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are therefore advised to seek independent advice as to how to proceed.

8.16 Underwriting and management of the Entitlement Offer

Resolute has entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriters, who have agreed to be lead managers, bookrunners and underwriters of the Entitlement Offer, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. 8

The Underwriters have been engaged solely as independent contractors and are acting solely in a contractual relationship on an arm's length basis with Resolute. The engagement of the Underwriters by Resolute is not intended to create any agency, fiduciary or other relationship between the Underwriters and Resolute's shareholders, creditors or any other investor and you expressly disclaim any fiduciary relationship with the Underwriters.
