Directors’ Report

Syama Gold Mine

At the Syama Gold Mine in Mali (Syama), gold production for 6 months to 30 June 2022 production was 103,679oz at an AISC of $1,555/oz.

Sulphide Operations

During the first half of 2022, gold production from the Syama sulphide circuit was 73,225oz at an AISC of $1,414/oz. Gold production from the sulphide circuit increased by 4% in H1 2022 compared to H1 2021 despite the major shutdown occurring during 2022. The consistent improvement in H1 2022 gold production is driven by record levels of processing and roaster throughput, which have been achieved post the major maintenance shut down in February and March 2022. In addition, there has been a significant increase in the recovery of gold in circuit (GIC) from concentrate ponds and equipment cleanout.

Oxide Operations

During H1 2022, production was 30,454oz at an AISC of $1,888/oz. Oxide mining continued at the Tabakoroni Splay pit and Syama North at Beta and BA04. The focus for Q2 was on pre-stripping activity and preparation for the wet season.

During H1 2022, total tonnes processed from the Syama oxide circuit was 7% higher compared to H1 2021 despite the 7 day planned shutdown for the Oxide reline during 2022. Oxide AISC of $1,888/oz was impacted by higher diesel and consumables costs, lower grades and higher pre-strip undertaken ahead of the wet season.

Mining recommenced at Tabakoroni with the preparation work underway, this orebody will be the principal ore source for oxide for the remainder of 2022.

Exploration

At Syama, 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 late 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 recommenced in early 2022 at the A21 and Beta pits. The drilling program targeted the down-dip extensions of the identified zones, with most of the holes intersecting Sulphide mineralisation.

In Senegal, the focus was on near mine exploration to extend the mine life. RC drilling continued at the Petowal West prospect with encouraging intersection of 13m @ 1.4 g./t Au from 7m. The Group also recently signed a joint venture on Laminia permit located 15km from Mako.

Mako Gold Mine

During H1 2022, production from the Mako Gold Mine was 67,224oz at an AISC of $1,178/oz. During H1 2022, Mako continued to perform to plan, grade was 14% higher in H1 2022 compared to H1 2021 after the completion of the planned cut-back of the main pit that provided access to deeper sections of the deposit in line with the updated Life of Mine Plan.

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 30 June 2022 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 25 August 2022.

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 and the London Stock 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

a) Basis of Preparation

This interim financial report for the half year ended 30 June 2022 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 31 December 2021 and considered together with any public announcements made by Resolute Mining Limited during the half year ended 30 June 2022 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the Australian Securities Exchange listing rules and London Stock Exchange rules. The consolidated financial report is presented in United States dollars (“$”) rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

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

At 30 June 2022, Resolute has total current assets of $315 million and total current liabilities of $338 million representing a net current liability position of $24 million. The Group generated cash inflow of $45 million from operating activities for the half-year ended 30 June 2022 and forecasts to continue generating positive operating cash inflows for the remainder of the financial year. At 30 June 2022, the Group had cash on hand of $66 million and available undrawn funds of $30 million on its Revolving Credit Facility. Considering the available cash, undrawn facility and forecast positive operating cash flows the Group expects to fund this net current asset shortfall.

On 28 March 2022, the Group extended the due date of the Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). Details of the revised repayment terms of the RCF are as follows:

• $30.0 million in August 2022 upon receipt of the third tranche of the Bibiani sale consideration*

• $20.0 million in January 2023

• $20.0 million in March 2023 in line with the original RCF maturity date

• the final $80.0 million in March 2024.

*The $30.0 million August 2022 payment is only payable if Resolute receives the third payment instalment under the sale agreement between it and Asante Gold Corporation in respect of the sale of the Bibiani Gold Mine. Should this not be received, the Group will instead be required to make three $10.0 million repayment instalments in June 2023, September 2023 and December 2023.

The interest rate under the SFA has also been amended so that reference to the Screen Rate for Facility A (currently, LIBOR) is changed to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).

There are no changes to the repayment schedule of the $150 million Term Loan Facility, with amortisation remaining in line with the previous biannual repayment schedule (each March and September).

In the six months to 30 June 2022, the Group made voluntary repayment of the RCF of $30 million.

1. Based on the facts and circumstances at 30 June 2022 and in line with requirements of the accounting standards, the Group has provided an additional $6 million in respect of a withholding tax claim by the Senegalese tax authority. The factual basis and validity of these demands are being strongly disputed by Resolute due to fundamental misinterpretations of the application of certain tax. Resolute continues to work with its legal and tax advisors to contest the demand and will resist any efforts to enforce payment. The demand for Income Tax has been disclosed as a contingent liability.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 15: Impairment testing

In accordance with the Group’s accounting policies, each asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is evaluated to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indications of impairment exist, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is performed.

In assessing whether an impairment is required, the carrying value of the asset or CGU is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use (VIU). Recoverable amount has been determined based on FVLCD. Given the nature of the Group’s activities, information on the fair value of an asset is usually difficult to obtain unless negotiations with potential purchasers or similar transactions are taking place. Consequently, the FVLCD for each CGU is estimated based on discounted future estimated cash flows (expressed in real terms) expected to be generated from the continued use of the CGUs using market-based gold price assumptions, the level of proved and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, estimated quantities of recoverable gold, production levels, operating costs and capital requirements, including any expansion projects, and its eventual disposal, based on the CGU latest life of mine (LOM) plans. These cash flows are discounted using a real post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU. When LOM plans do not fully utilise existing mineral properties for a CGU, and options exist for the future extraction and processing of all or part of those resources, an estimate of the value of mineral properties is included in the determination of fair value.

The determination of FVLCD for each CGU are considered to be Level 3 fair value measurements, as they are derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. The Group considers the inputs and the valuation approach to be consistent with the approach taken by market participants.

Impairment indicator assessment

At 30 June 2022, Resolute’s quoted market capitalisation was lower than its net asset carrying value. This represents an indicators of impairment. As a result, an impairment test was performed to determine the recoverable amounts for all CGU’s of the Group, being the Syama Gold Mine and the Mako Gold Mine using the FVLCD method.

Syama CGU

Syama indicator assessment

Whilst Syama’s H1 2022 forecast production and cost remain in line with budget, as a result of the general indicator of impairment noted above, a formal impairment test was performed to determine the recoverable amount for the Syama CGU.

Key Assumptions used to determine recoverable amount

The table below summarises the key assumptions used in the carrying value assessment:

	30 June 2022	31 December 2021
Gold price ($/oz)	1,867-1,511	1,777-1,467
Discount rate (post tax real)	14.5%	14.0%
Unmined resources ($/oz)	$20-$54	$20-$54

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 15: Impairment testing (continued)

Gold prices

Gold prices are estimated with reference to external market forecasts based on a consensus view of market experts.

Unmined resources

Unmined resources which are not included in the life ‐ of ‐ mine plan as result of the current assessment of economic returns, timing of specific production alternatives and the prevailing economic environment have been valued and included in the assessed fair value.

Operating costs

Life ‐ of ‐ mine operating cost assumptions are based on the Group’s latest budget and life ‐ of mine plans. Operating cost assumptions reflect an assumption of maintaining current cost, over the long term, without including expected improvements over the life of mine.

Recognition

As a result of the analysis performed, there is no impairment loss recognised for Syama CGU for H1 2022.

Syama Sensitivity Analysis

It was estimated that reasonable possible changes in key assumptions, in isolation, would have had the following approximate impact on the (impairment loss) or reversal of impairment recognised for the Syama CGU as at 30 June 2022.

	Increase in key assumption	Decrease in key assumption
	$‘000	$‘000
10% change in gold price ($ per oz)	187,951	(110,939)
10% change in value of unmined resources	65,977	-
10% change in operatingcost	(49,225)	127,605

Mako CGU

Mako indicator assessment

Whilst Mako’s 2022 forecast production and cost remain in line with budget, as a result of the general indicator of impairment noted above, a formal impairment test was performed to determine the recoverable amount for the Mako CGU.

Key Assumptions

The table below summarises the key assumptions used in the carrying value assessment:

	30 June 2022	31 December 2021
Gold price ($/oz)	1,867-1,511	1,777-1,467
Discount rate (post tax real)	12.7%	10.5%
Unmined resources ($/oz)	$44	$44

Gold prices

Gold prices are estimated with reference to external market forecasts based on a consensus view of market experts.

Discount rate

In determining the recoverable amount of assets, the future cash flows were discounted using rates based on the CGU’s estimated real weighted average cost of capital, with an additional premium applied having regard to the CGU’s risk profile.

Operating costs

Life ‐ of ‐ mine operating cost assumptions are based on the Group’s latest budget and life ‐ of mine plans. Operating cost assumptions reflect an assumption of maintaining current cost, over the long term, without including expected improvements over the life of mine.

Recognition

As a result of the analysis performed, there is no impairment loss recognised for Mako CGU for H1 2022.

Mako Sensitivity Analysis

It was estimated that reasonable possible changes in key assumptions, in isolation, would have had the following approximate impact on the (impairment loss) or reversal of impairment recognised for the Mako CGU as at 30 June 2022.

	Increase in key assumption	Decrease in key assumption
	$‘000	$‘000
10% change in gold price ($ per oz)	60,937	(61,277)
2% change in discount rate	(6,491)	6,718
10% change in operating cost	(36,697)	36,393

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report section of our report.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
