Important Notices and Disclaimers
Not an offer of securities
This presentation contains a summary of information about Resolute and its activities that is current as at the date of this presentation unless otherwise stated. The information in this presentation is general in nature and does not purport to be complete. This presentation does not contain all the information which a prospective investor may require in evaluating a possible investment in Resolute or that would be required in a prospectus or a product disclosure statement prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or any other offering document under Australian law or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. This presentation does not constitute an offer, invitation or recommendation to subscribe for or purchase securities in Resolute Mining Limited (Resolute). This presentation is for information purposes only and is not an offer or invitation to acquire Resolute securities or any other financial products in any place. In particular, this presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any Resolute securities in the United States.
Past and Future Performance and Forward-Looking Statements
Past performance information given in this presentation is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.This presentation includes certain forwardlooking statements, including statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to Resolute's business and operations, market conditions, results of operations and financial condition, and risk-management practices. Words such as 'project', 'foresee', 'plan', 'expect', 'aim', 'intend', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'estimate', 'may', 'should', 'will' and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Indications of, and guidance on, future earnings and financial position and performance are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as an indication or guarantee of future performance. These statements relate to future events and expectations and are based on certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements also involve known and unknown risks and significant uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of Resolute. Actual results, performance, actions and developments of Resolute may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this presentation. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. There can be no assurance that actual outcomes will not differ materially from these statements. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Resolute and any of its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, agents, associates and advisers:
- I. disclaim any obligations or undertaking to release any updates or revisions to the information in this presentation to reflect any change in expectations or assumptions;
- II. do not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information in this presentation, or likelihood of fulfilment of any forwardlooking statement or any event or results expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement; and
- III. disclaim all responsibility and liability for these forward-looking statements (including, without limitation, liability for negligence).
- IV. Nothing in this presentation will under any circumstances create an implication that there has been no change in the affairs of Resolute since the date of this presentation.
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
Recipients of this presentation outside Australia should note that it is a requirement of the Australian Securities Exchange listing rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code), whereas mining companies in other countries may be required to report their ore reserves and/or mineral resources in accordance with other guidelines (for example, SEC Industry Guide 7 in the United States). Recipients should note that while Resolute's mineral resource and ore reserve estimates comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries, and do not comply with SEC Industry Guide 7. In particular, SEC Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves and, as a result, the SEC generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral resources, including indicated and inferred resources, in SEC filings. Accordingly, if Resolute were reporting in accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7, it would not be permitted to report any mineral resources, including indicated and inferred resources, and the amount of reserves reported by Resolute may be lower than its estimates. You should not assume that quantities reported as "resources" will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that Resolute will be able to legally and economically extract them. In addition, investors should note that under SEC Industry Guide 7, mine life may only be reported based on ore reserves. Mine life estimates in this presentation assume that a portion of non-reserve resources will be converted to ore reserves, which would not be permitted under SEC Industry Guide 7.
