Company Secretary
About Resolute:
Resolute is an unhedged gold miner with two operating mines in Africa and Australia. The Company is one of the largest gold producers by volume listed on the ASX. Resolute’s flagship Syama project in Mali is on track for an increase in production to 270,000oz of gold a year following an approved expansion to be undertaken through FY2016. At its Ravenswood mine in Queensland Resolute is investigating a number of opportunities to add value by increasing gold production and lowering operating costs. In Ghana, the Company is now the owner and operator of the advanced Bibiani gold project where work is being undertaken on an underground feasibility study including a 20,000m drill program. The Company controls an extensive footprint along the highly prospective Syama Shear and Greenstone Belts in Mali and Cote d’Ivoire. Resolute has also identified a number of highly promising exploration targets at its Ravenswood operations and holds a number of exploration projects in Tanzania surrounding its now completed Golden Pride mine.

Why Africa?
Opportunities, risks, experience…
----- End of picture text -----
Africa remains an attractive mining destination for Australian companies
-
Hosts 30% of world mineral reserves and even higher proportion of deposits of Gold, Platinum, Bauxite, Diamonds and Manganese.
-
Reported that <5% of the total global mineral exploration and extraction budget is invested in the Continent.
-
Around 220 Australian exploration and mining companies operate in Africa, more than any other foreign region.
-
Ghana, Tanzania, Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso account for around 9% of world gold production.
-
Opportunities for mining, resources and infrastructure companies are extensive.
But … the business risks also present challenges
-
Many pitfalls remain to establishing and operating mining projects in African countries.
-
Different countries have different levels of risk. Apart from political stability and regulatory frameworks, key challenges facing countries include inadequate data on minerals, capacity to monitor fiscal payments, planning and forecasting, funding etc.
Therefore … having experience in Africa is a valuable commodity
- Resolute is an established Australian miner in Africa with a proven and long term track record of development and production.
