Resolute Mining Limited (Resolute or the Company) (ASX/LSE: RSG) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 30 September 2022.

Terry Holohan, CEO and Managing Director, commented, “Resolute recorded its fourth consecutive quarter of increased production, despite a historically challenging wet season. Operations at Syama continue to progress, capitalising on the increased capacity of the Sulphide processing circuit with a record 44,746 ounces of gold poured from the sub-level cave mining operation.

During the Quarter Resolute was pleased to announce a 40% increase in Mineral Resources to two million ounces at Syama North where gold is being discovered at about $10/oz. These results confirm the potential for a new open pit operation adjacent to the Syama processing complex. As a result, a PFS investigating low capital expansion options for the Syama North satellite pit and enhancement of the crushing and milling circuit performance commenced.

In addition, a heliborne aeromagnetic survey of the 85km strike was completed, which provides detailed aeromagnetic information to aid the interpretation of regional structures in the Syama Belt.

Whilst cost pressures continued to be experienced, full year production and cost guidance of 345,000 ounces at an AISC of $1,425/oz, has been maintained.”

Operations Overview

The September Quarter was another strong one for Resolute with gold poured of 90,387oz, consolidating on the improved performance across the Syama operations. At the Syama Sulphide operation the grade continued to increase, driving a 5% increase in gold poured. The Syama Oxide operations capitalised on the preparatory work undertaken in the prior half year in advance of the wet season, with improved grades and recoveries increasing gold poured. Mako’s reduction in gold poured was due to lower grades in accordance with the mine plan and downtime for a SAG Mill reconfiguration during the Quarter.

As noted in Table 1 below, unit cash costs (AISC excluding non-cash adjustments) improved compared to the prior quarter, notwithstanding some continuing cost pressures on fuel and consumables. AISC reduced to $1,513/oz, despite being impacted by $124/oz in non-cash adjustments relating to higher processing costs for stockpiles, as well as gold in circuit inventory charges.

The Company’s performance compared to the previous quarter and prior comparable quarter is set out in the table below:

Syama, Mali

The Syama Sulphide operation produced 44,746oz, an increase of 5% from the prior quarter with further improvements in grades, at a lower AISC of $1,411/oz. The Oxide operations also delivered higher production at reduced costs, producing 13,876oz at an AISC of $1,746/oz. Further details of these two operations are set out below:

Syama Sulphide

Quarter	Mining	Mining		Processing	Processing		Costs
	Ore (t)	Grade (g/t)	Ore (t)	Grade (g/t)	Recovery (%)	Gold Poured (oz)	AISC ($/oz)
March 2022	548,937	2.40	351,024	2.47	77.8	30,466	1,365
June 2022	548,543	2.49	609,916	2.54	77.0	42,759	1,451

YTD	1,629,383	2.53	1,539,483	2.62	77.8	117,971	1,414

Table 2: Sulphide Production and Cost Summary

Underground ore mined reduced by 3% impacted by the wet season compared to the prior quarter. This was offset by a 9% increase in the Sulphide ore grade to 2.71g/t, attributable to improved mining methods over the last 12 months plus scheduled access to higher grade zones.

Tonnes milled continue to be high with another consecutive record quarter of 52kt roasted for the Syama operation. Processing grade increased from the June quarter by 10% reflecting the improved mining grade as well as continued recovery from gold in circuit and concentrate ponds. As a result, gold recovered was higher at 40,964oz and gold poured of 44,746oz was a 5% increase from the prior quarter.

The AISC for the September quarter of $1,411/oz was 3% lower than the June quarter, with reductions in both processing maintenance costs and sustaining capital costs. The remainder of the improvement resulted from the increase in gold poured. Unit cash costs for the September quarter of $1,237/oz were significantly lower than AISC, due to various non-cash charges associated with inventory movements.

Syama Oxide

Quarter	Mining	Mining		Processing	Processing		Costs
	Ore (t)	Grade (g/t)	Ore (t)	Grade (g/t)	Recovery (%)	Gold Poured (oz)	AISC ($/oz)
March 2022	465,315	1.27	411,983	1.39	89.6	17,728	1,567
June 2022	434,696	1.15	392,611	1.23	87.7	12,726	2,336
September 2022	409,514	1.40	344,278	1.35	89.1	13,876	1,746
YTD	1,309,525	1.27	1,148,872	1.32	88.8	44,331	1,844

Table 3: Oxide Production and Cost Summary

The preparation in the first six months of the year, particularly during the June quarter, for the annual wet season ensured Oxide mining continued at the Tabakoroni Splay pit and Syama North at Beta and BA04 with ore mined in line with expectation and a significant reduction in waste moved. It is expected that Q4 2022 will further benefit, in terms of grade and costs, from the work completed over H1 2022.

Throughput for the Quarter was impacted by the wet season as expected, however an increase in processed grade to 1.35g/t from the planned higher-grade ore mined at BA04, and higher recoveries resulted in a 9% increase in gold poured.

Oxide AISC of $1,746/oz was 25% lower than the June quarter. Unit cash costs for the September quarter of $1,588/oz were significantly lower than AISC, due to various non-cash charges associated with inventory movements.

Mako, Senegal

Gold production at Mako during the Quarter totalled 31,765oz at an AISC of $1,413/oz. The operational performance for Mako is set out in the table below.

Quarter	Mining	Mining		Processing	Processing		Costs
	Ore (t)	Grade (g/t)	Ore (t)	Grade (g/t)	Recovery (%)	Gold Poured (oz)	AISC ($/oz)
March 2022	635,713	1.88	512,244	2.20	92.8	33,575	1,154

YTD	2,076,169	1.84	1,505,934	2.18	93.0	98,990	1,254

Table 4: Mako Production and Cost Summary

Ore mined at Mako continued to increase quarter on quarter, with improved mining performance due to favourable conditions in the pit, as the cutback widens. Mine grade reduced by 11% compared to the June quarter, which was in line with mine plan expectations.

Tonnes processed increased by 5% due to increased plant uptime and modifications to the SAG Mill configuration which enabled an increase in throughput rates. Process grade of 2.02g/t reflected the lower mine grade as noted above, which impacted the overall gold poured of 31,775oz for the Quarter.

AISC increased 17% to $1,413/oz, reflecting the higher material mined impacting mining cost as well as continued pressure on consumables. AISC was also impacted by the lower ounces produced during the Quarter.

Exploration

Total exploration spend for the September quarter was $3.1 million, with accelerated drilling programs continuing in Mali and Senegal throughout the Quarter. The full year guidance for exploration expenditure remains at $15 million.

Syama Exploration

At Syama, diamond and RC drilling programs continued to evaluate the Sulphide resources located below the historic Oxide open pits at Syama North, with drilling planned for the remainder of 2022.

The exploration drilling program at Syama North, initiated in 2021, recorded significant Oxide and Sulphide gold mineralisation intersections in and around the originally mined-out Oxide pits of A21 and Beta/BA-01 located within 4-8 km of the main Syama mining and processing complex.

Diamond and RC drilling has continued throughout 2022 with two rigs targeting mineralisation extensions at both the A21 and Beta pits. The drilling was highly successful with all the holes intersecting gold mineralisation and the majority returning significant intersections. These excellent drill results were reported to the market in June 2022 (see ASX announcement 16 June 2022).

Since the June announcement drilling has continued and results have been consistently positive with ore grade intervals seen in most holes both down dip, which will extend the Mineral Resources, and infill. A further announcement on exploration drilling results and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Syama North was reported to the ASX on 30 August 2022.

Better results received during the Quarter include:

QVRD557 - 20m @ 9.80g/t from 133m BARD261 - 5m @ 30.02g/t from 134m QVRC540 - 22m @ 2.81g/t from 94m QVRC559 - 5m @ 18.38g/t from 97m QVRC560 - 17m @ 4.10g/t from 137m QVRC561 - 14m @ 5.56g/t from 111m QVRC562 - 12m @ 4.40g/t from 43m QVRC573 - 9m @ 16.00g/t from 123m QVRD530 - 17m @ 5.22g/t from 189m QVRD538 - 46m @ 1.83g/t from 143m QVRD538 - 30m @ 3.88g/t from 202m QVRD566 - 30m @ 3.84g/t from 183m QVRD568 - 19m @ 8.22g/t from 140m

Of particular interest is the very wide mineralised zone in QVRD538 which appears to be a zone of coalesced mineralised shears producing two excellent intersections of 46m @ 1.83g/t Au from 143m and 30m @ 3.84g/t Au from 202m.

The mineralised interval including internal dilution is 89m @ 2.41g/t over the entire zone.

Subsequently, an up-dip hole was completed and this hole QVRD566, confirmed and expanded the wide mineralised zone with intersections of 30m @ 3.84g/t and 9m @ 3.67g/t Au.

Diamond drilling is now concentrating on further expanding this wide zone with 50m spaced holes in a pattern around QVRD538.

The high-grade results at the southern end of the A21 deposit reported in the June announcement (QVRC533 – 27m @ 6.62g/t Au) have been supported with very high-grade results in QVRD557 (20m @ 9.80g/t Au), QVRC559 (5m @ 18.38g/t Au), and QVRD568 (19m @ 8.22g/t Au).

Syama North Mineral Resource Estimate

The Syama North deposit was re-estimated in July 2022 using mineralisation wireframe constrained Ordinary Kriged methodology.

The Global Mineral Resources at Syama North is now estimated at 20 million tonnes at 3.1g/t Au for 2.0 million ounces at a cut-off grade of 1g/t Au. Resource classification, with almost 50% in the Measured and Indicated classifications, and material types are shown below in Tables 5 and 6.

Using a 1g/t Au cut-off this new resource constitutes a 40% increase in total resource ounces from the previous estimate quoted in the 31 December Reserve and Resource Statement.

Table 6: Syama North Mineral Resources at 30 July 2022 (1g/t cut off)

The drilling program will continue for the remainder of the year and is expected to extend into the first half of 2023. Drilling now is concentrating on converting the majority of the Inferred resources to Indicated category by in-fill drilling, exploring extensions of wide mineralised intervals intersected this year, a down dip.

A pre-feasibility study into low capital expansion options for the Sulphide operations has commenced, with the results expected towards the end of 2022.

Aeromagnetic Survey

Additionally, in the September quarter, a high-resolution helicopter borne aeromagnetic survey was completed across the entire 85 km strike of the Syama belt under licence to complement the original low-resolution survey undertaken by BHP in 1993. A total of 30,000 line kilometres were completed with the processed data expected to be delivered in the December quarter.

The detailed aeromagnetic information will provide an excellent geophysical dataset to aid the interpretation of regional structures related to the mineralised systems in the Syama Belt.

African Gold Limited Earn-in agreement

Subsequent to quarter end, on 12 October 2022, the Company executed an earn-in agreement with African Gold Ltd over the Syama Shear Zone Project (earn-in project) located North of Resolute’s Syama operations in Mali.

Resolute can earn up to an 80% interest in the earn-in project by completing an agreed minimum exploration program over two years and the subsequent completion of a feasibility study over eight years.

Syama North and Group Forecast Production Update

Syama Sulphide

Since the release of the life of mine plan (“March 2022 LOM Plan”)[1] the Company has had significant exploration success at Syama North[2] with a 40% increase in this resource (Syama North Resource). The Syama North Mineral Resource now totals 20 million tonnes at 3.1g/t for 2 million ounces (Moz) of gold to a nominal depth of 150 metres.

Given the strong performance of the Sulphide processing circuit post the planned major shutdown in Q1 2022, the Company is confident in its ability to process Sulphides. Assuming significant amounts of the Resource convert to Ore Reserves, Syama North is expected to provide flexibility to enable the expansion of the Sulphide circuit. As a result, the Company has recently commenced a PFS into low capital expansion options to further expand the Sulphide operations with the results expected in the first quarter of 2023.

As a consequence of these developments, the Company has deferred the development of the Tabakoroni underground (Tabakoroni), which is located ~35km south of the Syama processing plant.

ASX Announcement
----- End of picture text -----

The March 2022 LOM Plan assumed first production from Tabakoroni in 2026, at an estimated capital cost of $80-100 million. The Syama North open pit option has been prioritised due to it being lower capital, its proximity to the processing facilities and strong metallurgical similarities to the existing Syama Underground mill feed[3] .

The Syama North PFS is evaluating a number of low capital options to expand the capacity of the Sulphide circuit by between 30-50% from a nominal 2.4 million tonnes per annum to between 3.1 and 3.6 million tonnes per annum (Sulphide Circuit Expansion). 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. 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.

One of the options being considered is the conversion of the existing Oxide crushing and milling circuit to provide the necessary additional capacity for the Sulphide Circuit Expansion. The Oxide crushing and grinding circuit has an Oxide capacity of 1.5Mtpa, with a modelled sulphide throughput capacity of up to 1.0Mtpa[4] . The Syama roaster will require the addition of oxygen to handle the expanded milling and crushing capacity. This would also provide the flexibility to process Oxide material from Syama North or from future discoveries. Further work is required to provide a reliable capital estimate for this expansion. It is expected that the earliest such an expansion could be delivered would be H1 2025. The Mineral Resource, and assumptions underpinning the potential Sulphide Circuit Expansion have been prepared by competent persons in accordance with the requirements in Appendix 5A (JORC Code)[5] .

As noted above, for the nine months to 30 September 2022, Syama Sulphide gold poured was 117,971oz. Should the post-roaster shut run rate from Q2 and Q3 be maintained, gold poured for the full year 2022 would be approximately 160,000oz, compared to guidance of 145,000oz. This strong result for the nine months to 30 September 2022 reflects the following factors:

• Gold recovered from circuit and concentrate ponds of 16,924oz for the nine months to 30 September, with more gold expected to be recovered in Q4 2022. From 2023 onwards gold poured is expected to more closely align with gold recovered ex ROM where the present grade improvements are noted;

• Following the planned shutdown, the crusher (85.3%), mill (94.8%) and roaster (94.6%) have each achieved excellent availability; and

• As flagged in the December 2021 Quarterly Activities Report, the maintenance shutdown resulted in approximately 16,000oz of reduced production.

A number of low capital throughput initiatives are planned for execution in 2023 which are expected to increase the sustainable throughput of the Sulphide circuit capacity to 2.4 million tonnes per annum from Q1 2024. Whilst definitive production and cost guidance for 2023 will be provided to the market in January 2023, the Company expects the Sulphide gold production for 2023 and 2024 to average around 160,000 to 165,000 ounces per annum.

Considering the current performance, as well as the ongoing PFS into the Sulphide expansion options, production and cost forecasts for 2025 and beyond are unable to be reliably estimated until the completion of the PFS. As such, forecasts for 2025 and beyond which were previously provided in the March 2022 LOM Plan have been withdrawn.

3 Although metallurgical test work will be required during the PFS and subsequent Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), material from the Syama North pits was successfully processed through the Sulphide circuit in 2018.

4 Refer to the assumptions detailed in Section 4 of the Appendix (pages 35 to 43) to the Company’s Ore Reserves and Mineral Resource Statement at 31 December 2021, released to the ASX on 4 March 2022. Otherwise than as detailed in this ASX announcement, those assumptions continue to apply

Syama Oxide

The March 2022 LOM Plan had Syama Oxide mining and processing extending to 2025 and 2026, respectively, with annual production between 2022-2024 forecast at 76,000 ounces per annum. In light of the inflationary pressures experienced in 2022, together with an expectation of an expanded Sulphide circuit fed by Syama North, the Company has re-optimised the remaining Syama Oxide Ore Reserves.

Based on the current gold price, cost profile and the potential to expand the Sulphide circuit, Oxide mining is expected to cease in 2024 with processing of stockpiles expected to continue in 2025.

Oxide production is expected to be 60,000-65,000 oz in 2022, compared to 2022 guidance of 75,000oz. The lower production is largely due to lower than expected grades. Over the last nine months, grade control drilling has been carried out sufficiently ahead of production to provide greater confidence in the mined grade than was the case in 2021. The lower Oxide production is expected to be more than offset by higher Sulphide production, resulting in overall Syama production guidance for 2022 of 220,000oz being maintained.

Definitive production and cost guidance for 2023 will be provided to the market in January 2023. However, the Oxide gold production for 2023 and 2024 is expected to average around 65,000-70,000 ounces per annum, with 2023 expected to be 20-25% higher than 2024. More information on the future of Oxides at Syama will be provided following the completion of the Syama North PFS in Q1 2023. The Mineral Resource, and assumptions underpinning the production at Syama Oxide have been prepared by competent persons in accordance with the requirements in Appendix 5A (JORC Code)[6] .

In summary, the Syama forecast gold production (Sulphide + Oxide) for 2023-24 of between 220,000 and 235,000 ounces per annum is below the indicative production provided in the March 2024 LOM of 245,000 to 260,000, reflecting:

• reduced throughput in 2023 reflecting the requirement for two mill relines, compared to one reline in the March 2022 LOM;

• lower Sulphide grade in 2024 reflecting the detailed optimisation undertaken of the sub-level cave following the first two full years of operation;

• lower forecast Sulphide recoveries to align with current performance; and

• a reduction in Oxide grades in 2024 which reflects the re-optimisation of remaining Ore Reserves in the current inflationary environment.

Mako

The March 2022 LOM Plan estimated the remaining production from the Mako operation to be 607koz between 2022 and 2027. The AISC over this period, was expected to average between $1,071/oz and $1,145/oz and within a range of $800/oz to $1,400/oz. Whilst production over this period is not expected to materially change, given the current inflationary pressures experienced in 2022 previously provided AISC forecasts for Mako have been withdrawn. Definitive cost guidance for 2023 will be provided in January 2023.

CY22 Guidance

The Group maintains its full year 2022 production guidance of 345,000oz, noting the strong performance at the Syama Sulphide and Mako operations which are expected to offset Syama Oxide's lower production. The higher production at Syama Sulphide and Mako is expected to largely mitigate inflationary pressures including elevated fuel and consumable prices experienced in 2022. As a result, the Group maintains its cost guidance at an AISC of $1,425/oz. However, we note that unit costs may be adversely affected if input costs continue to rise.

6 Refer to Competent Person Statement below and to the assumptions detailed in Section 4 of the Appendix (pages 35 to 43) to the Company’s Ore Reserves and Mineral Resource Statement at 31 December 2021, released to the ASX on 4 March 2022. Otherwise than as detailed in this ASX announcement, those assumptions continue to apply.

Chart 1: Quarterly Cash and Bullion Movements in US dollars

The average realised gold price achieved for the Quarter was $1,809/oz compared to the average Spot price of $1,730/oz. Asset sale proceeds of $11.8 million consisted of $10.0 million received for Bibiani and $1.8 million in cash as part of the B2Gold acquisition of Oklo Resources (Oklo). In addition to the cash received for the Oklo Shares, the Company received 1.2 million B2Gold shares which had a value of $3.6 million at 30 September. Debt repayments consisted of $25.0 million on the Term Loan Facility in line with the biannual repayment schedule and $10.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) upon receipt of the first instalment of the deferred Bibiani payments ($22.7 million outstanding at 30 September 2022).

Included in the above is $12.9 million of working capital outflows relating to consumables and critical spares. The continued impact of inflation across the operations has resulted in ongoing outlays required to maintain adequate levels of fuel, reagents and consumables as well as critical spares.

Before assets sales, debt service and government dividends the business generated $17.5 million in free cash flow during the Quarter.

Balance sheet

Net debt decreased by $26.3 million to $156.5 million at 30 September 2022. Total borrowings at 30 September 2022 were $220.0 million comprising $185.0 million drawn on the Term Loan Facility and RCF, overdraft facilities in Mali of $34.7 million and Senegal of $0.3 million.
