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 are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Resolute, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are outside the control of Resolute, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results reflected in such forward looking statements on certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Actual results, performance, actions and developments of Resolute may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this presentation.

Recipients should note that while Resolute's Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with relevant guidelines in other countries.

For details of the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves used in this presentation, please refer to ASX Announcements dated 17 February 2021 titled "Annual Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement" and 7 April 2021 titled "Resolute and Syama Life of Mine update".

Resolute's production guidance for 2021 is 350,000oz to 375,000oz at $1,200/oz to $1,275/oz. Resolute does however continue to assess developments and update the Company's response to COVID-19 while placing the highest priority on the safety and wellbeing of its employees, contractors and stakeholders. Further escalation of COVID-19, and the implementation of further government-regulated restrictions or extended periods of supply chain disruption, has the potential to negatively impact gold production, earnings, cash flow and the Company's balance sheet.
