Directors’ Report (continued)

Review of Operations (continued)

Development

  • Resolute’s primary development focus is the Syama Underground Project (Mali) which provides the opportunity to extend Syama’s mine life beyond 2028. During the half year the Syama Underground Feasibility Study program was expanded to include the Syama Grid Connection Project as part of a major focus to enhance the outcomes of the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”). Opportunities identified through the Syama Continuous Improvement and Cost Reduction Program will also be incorporated into the expanded DFS.

  • Work commenced during the half year included:

  • A new program of deep diamond drilling to test likely extensions to the underground resource model;

  • Infill drilling program within the Syama open pit, targeting the upper levels of the underground resource. Early results strongly support the existing geology interpretation with the potential for additional ore located beneath the completed open pit shell

    • Infill drilling results have been received for diamond holes testing upper levels of the proposed Syama underground development. Significant results included:

      •  SUDD012 43m @ 6.4g/t Au from 118m to End of Hole;

      •  SUDD011 70m @ 3.8g/t Au from 33m;

      •  SUDD015 36m @ 7.0g/t Au from 51m;

      •  SUDD014 79m @ 3.2g/t Au from 66m;

      •  SUDD018 72m @ 2.9g/t Au from 136m;

      •  SUDD021 48m @ 4.4g/t Au from 67m; and,

      •  SUDD007 17m @ 8.3g/t Au from 74m.

    • The infill results extend the mineralised footprint and provide confidence that the Syama underground reserve estimate can be enhanced in the upper levels of the proposed development.

    • Results have been received for the first hole of the resource extension drilling program and have confirmed the potential for significant future resource growth at Syama:

      •  SYRD428 32m @ 2.7g/t Au from 323m; and,

      •  13m @ 3.1g/t Au from 377m.

  • installation of power and pumping infrastructure to allow early access for accelerated development; and,

  • Revised geotechnical assessment and metallurgical test work programs.

As a result of the expanded and enhanced Feasibility Study Program, the Syama Underground DFS is now expected to be completed during the June 2016 Quarter.

  • Strategic options continue to be assessed as part of the Ravenswood Extension Project (Queensland) with a focus on the Nolans East, Buck Reef West and Sarsfield open pit deposits.

  • A strategic review of the Bibiani Gold Project (Ghana) was commenced with an immediate focus on reducing Care and Maintenance costs. These costs are expected to reduce by approximately 40% by the end of the current quarter. The Feasibility Study remains on target for completion during the June 2016 quarter.

Exploration

  • • In Cote d Ivoire, soil sampling on the Joint Venture research permit Tiebissou has outlined a strong and coherent Au‐As‐Sb anomaly which will be drill tested this financial year.

Half Year Report for the six months ended 31 December 2015

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: Corporate Information

The financial report of Resolute Mining Limited and its controlled entities (“Resolute”, the “Group” or “consolidated entity”) for the half year ended 31 December 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 25 February 2016.

Resolute Mining Limited (the parent) is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The principal activities of entities within the consolidated entity during the half year were:

  • Gold mining; and,

  • prospecting and exploration for minerals.

There has been no significant change in the nature of those activities during the half year.

Note 2: Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Practices

This interim financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2015 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .

The half year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial report.

It is recommended that the half year financial report be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and considered together with any public announcements made by Resolute Mining Limited during the half year ended 31 December 2015 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the Australian Securities Exchange listing rules.

The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.

Significant accounting judgements

The determination of gold reserves and resource impacts the accounting for asset carrying values, depreciation and amortisation rates, deferred stripping costs and provisions for decommissioning and restoration. In line with the Group’s usual practice as occurs twice yearly, the Group has applied the effects of updated life of mine modelling to this reporting period, effective from 1 July 2015.

(i) These amounts predominantly relate to ore stockpile and gold in circuit inventory net realisable value movements. The changing gold price impacts the market value of the gold inventories held by Resolute. Hence, non-cash movements are recorded against the ore stockpile and gold in circuit inventory values. These inventories are recorded on the Statement of Financial Position at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 5: Discontinued Operation

On 12 December 2014, the formal handover of the Golden Pride site and all remaining infrastructure to the Madini Institute to set up a mining institute of learning was completed, as agreed with the Government of Tanzania. This ended Resolute’s presence on site at Golden Pride after 15 years and production of over 2.2 million ounces of gold. This arm of the business, previously represented as the Golden Pride operating segment, has been classified as a discontinued operation and is no longer presented as a segment in Note 3.

In October 2015, Resolute completed the divestment of Resolute Pty Ltd, the company holding all of Resolute’s subsidiaries, assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, and mineral rights in Tanzania (the “RPL group”). Resolute entered into an agreement with Cienega S.A.R.L. whereby Cienega S.A.R.L. acquired the RPL group for nominal initial consideration, with a potential deferred consideration equal to 50% of the proceeds of the sale of any mineral rights, related physical assets, and other specific legal actions.

The results for the period are presented below:

Note 6: Dividends

There were no dividends paid or provided for during the half year end up to the date of this report (half year ended 31 December 2014: Nil).

Note 7: Interest Bearing Liabilities

The Group entered into an agreement to accelerate the repayment of its senior secured US$50m Cash Advance Facility with Barclays Bank Plc and Investec Bank Plc which was originally due to expire on 28 February 2016. Under the new repayment arrangements, Resolute volunteered to make monthly repayments of US$5m, starting on 1 October 2015, as part of a new amortisation schedule which will see the Cash Advance Facility entirely repaid as at 30 June 2016. As a result of the restructured repayment schedule the maturity date of the Cash Advance Facility and the Bonding Facilities have been extended and aligned to 30 June 2016.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 10: Contingent Liabilities

Certain claims arising with third parties have been made by or against certain Group entities in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve litigation or arbitration. The directors do not consider the outcome of any of these claims will have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group.

As a result of the divestment of the Tanzanian entities from the Group (refer Note 5), the contingent liabilities previously disclosed in the last full year financial report with respect to Tanzanian Tax Authorities have now been extinguished.

Note 11: Events Occurring after Balance Date

No significant events have occurred since balance date on 31 December 2015 and the date of this report.
