Directors’ Report
Syama Gold Mine
At the Syama Gold Mine in Mali (Syama), gold production for 6 months to 30 June 2023 was 112,787oz at an AISC of $1,494/oz.
Sulphide Operations
During the six months ending 30 June 2023, gold production from the Syama sulphide circuit was 79,731oz at an AISC of $1,381/oz. Gold production increased by 9% in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022 despite maintenance carried out on the tertiary crusher which has been scheduled for replacement in H2 2023. The improved performance was due to higher grades milled and higher plant throughput achieved prior to the crusher breakdown. Syama sulphide AISC per ounce poured decreased by 2% due to steps being taken to sustainably reduce cost at the operations.
Oxide Operations
During the first half of 2023, production was 33,056oz at an AISC of $1,767/oz. Ore tonnes continued to be sourced from the Tabakoroni Splay pit and Syama North at Paysans and Folona. Preparatory activities involving stripping and grade control were stepped up during the first half of the year in readiness to mine the A21 pit.
During H1 2023, total tonnes processed from the Syama oxide circuit was 9% higher compared to H1 2022 despite the lower recovery rate on account of the higher organic carbon content in the mill feed during the second quarter of the year – the mining of this ore was immediately curtailed.
Exploration
Total exploration expenditure for the first half of 2023 was $9.0 million (made up of $2.5 million of capital and $6.5 million of exploration expenditure) with the majority of the focus on Syama North.
An updated Mineral Resource estimate for Syama North was announced on 19 January 2023 with an increase to 34 million tonnes at 2.9g/t Au for 3.18 million ounces.
The infill drilling program at Syama North, which commenced in early 2023, has continued throughout the year with the strategy of converting inferred resources to indicated category. This program was completed in late June and after the return of analytical results, the Mineral Resource Estimate will be updated. Resolute is expected to provide an updated Mineral Resource model for Syama North during Q3 2023 which will further feed and optimise the Syama Phase I Expansion study.
Diamond drilling continues at Syama North with the focus now on expanding the Mineral Resource, given the recent completion of the in-fill drilling for Ore Reserves, as the deposit remains open along strike and down dip.
Oxide Mineral Resources exploration has been ongoing throughout 2023 in Syama with Reverse Circulation drilling on several newly identified targets. This program will continue for the remainder of 2023.
Exploration activities continued in Senegal with drilling programs carried out on the Petowal Mining Lease and the Laminia Joint Venture which is located 10km east of Petowal.
In Guinea, surface exploration programs undertaken in the past two years have identified a strong gold anomaly in the western portion of the Niagassola Research Permit which is now named the Mansala prospect. Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Mansala Prospect has intersected encouraging gold mineralisation. Drilling continues, and a more detailed report will be announced in Q3 2023.
Mako Gold Mine
During H1 2023, production from the Mako Gold Mine was 63,843oz at an AISC of $1,308/oz. During H1 2023, production decreased by 5% due to the planned focus on mining the medium grade sections of the ore body while the scheduled waste stripping continued to expose higher grade ore to be mined later in the year.

- Based on the facts and circumstances at 30 June 2023 and in line with requirements of the accounting standards, the Group has reversed $66.7 million (comprised of $34.9 million VAT, $17.3 million indirect taxes, and $14.5 million income tax) of the tax claim by the Senegalese tax authority as the exoneration dispute was settled for an amount of $5 million. The factual basis and validity of the remaining demands (primarily in Mali) are being strongly disputed by Resolute due to fundamental misinterpretations of the application of certain tax law. 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.

Independent auditor’s review report to the members of Resolute Mining Limited
Report on the half-year financial report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Resolute Mining Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the halfyear ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
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. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Directors’ responsibilities for the half year financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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 2023 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.
