AISC of US$1,020/oz in H1 20 including Ravenswood

Note: H1 is the six month period to 30 June and H2 is the six month period to 31 December.

(1) A significant portion of the increase between H1 19 and H2 19 reflects the roaster shut down which occurred during the December 2019 Quarter.

Continued strong performance from Syama oxide and Mako operations, recovery from the Syama sulphide operations and the sale of Ravenswood resulted in a Net Profit after Tax

On 31 March 2020, the Group completed the sale of the Ravenswood mine to EMR Capital Management Limited and Golden Energy and Resources Limited. As a result, it has been classified as a discontinuing operation and reported separately in the Company's HY20 financial report.

The table combines Resolute's financial performance from its continuing operations at Syama and Mako together with discontinuing operations at Ravenswood.

Excluding non-recurring expenses for the half year period, the Group generated an underlying profit after tax from continuing operations of US$19.8m.

Group Earnings Profile

Comparable revenue, based on gold sold in H1 20 compared to H2 19 driven by increased production following the repair of the roaster and a stronger gold price environment, offset by loss of revenue from Ravenswood

The increase in EBITDA H1 20 relative to H2 19 was driven by the recovery of the Syama sulphide operations following the roaster repair and the stronger gold price environment

Overview

• Higher cost US$130m Toro Gold acquisition bridge facility and US$63m Mako project loan repaid through a combination of low-cost debt and equity.
• Additional liquidity provided through new senior debt facility.

Equity Raising

• ~A$195m equity raising comprising two-tranche placement and share purchase plan launched in January 2020; strongly supported by new and existing investors.

Debt Refinancing

• Existing US$195m syndicated loan facility replaced with new flexible low-cost US$300m senior debt facility in March 2020 comprising:
  • US$150m revolving credit facility (three-year term); and
  • US$150m term loan facility (four-year term)
• Strong support from banking syndicate including existing financiers.

Mako Royalty

• Agreement with Taurus in January 2020 to buyout existing 1.1% royalty over Mako removes encumbrance and secures full benefit of Mako's positive cashflows for Resolute.

Depreciation & Amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation expense increased significantly to US$92.7m during the half which reflects the following impacts:

• Mako depreciation of the asset over the remaining life, on a units of production basis, prior to the extension of mine life to 2025 (see 20 July 2020 ASX announcement)
• Syama Underground – depreciation over the remaining life of the assets on a units of production basis
• Syama Underground – expected future underground development capital expenditure not yet incurred but required for the operations to continue. This is an accounting standards requirement designed to smooth the depreciation profile of the operation
• Tabakoroni Oxide – An assessment of the rehabilitation obligation at 31 December 2019 resulted in an increase to the associated asset which was fully amortised during H1 20 given the completion of mining at Tabakoroni.
