DECEMBER 2020 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

Exploration Summary - Flagship 64North Project Alaska

1. Compelling shallow drill targets identified on the East Pogo Block:

  • 50-150m deep Pogo-style potential high-grade gold mineralised over three zones.

  • Historic drill holes of high-grade gold mineralisation support the prospectivity of East Pogo.

2. Positive assay results at the Sunrise Prospect, West Pogo demonstrate scale potential:

Entire 137m of road-cutting samples return elevated gold, demonstrating scale potential of an outcropping Fort Knox style (intrusion hosted) gold system.

  • Context is important as a 0.1g/t Au cut-off grade is used for large scale Fort Knox style systems.

  • 93m @ 0.29g/t Au - including 27m @ 0.53g/t Au; max 1m interval of @ 1.89g/t Au.

  • Initial 25 hole, 3000m RAB drill program designed ready for a March 2021 start.

3. Aurora Prospect, West Pogo drilling results:

  • 3 holes intersected multiple quartz veins with no significant gold mineralisation.

  • Review underway to best progress the Aurora, Echo and Reflection Prospects.

4. E1 trenching results are consistent with typical Fort Knox style mineral systems:

  • Further work to delineate drill targets is planned for 2021 summer season.

5. Multiple geophysics surveys completed across entire project: Mag, ZTEM, ELF-EM & WorldView3

6. Drilling strategy for 2021 will focus on the shallow high-grade potential East Pogo Block targets and the road-side outcropping Sunrise Prospect Fort Knox style gold system.

Managing Director’s Comments - “the path to drilling success in 2021”

The New Year is a good time to reflect on the lessons learnt in the preceding year and to develop an improved strategy for the year ahead.

In 2020 we focussed all our efforts on the Company’s Flagship 64North Project in Alaska. This included 5,000m of intensive drill testing of the road accessible West Pogo prospects along-strike from Northern Star’s Pogo Gold Mine. Although we are encouraged by the fact our team had technical success with holes 7, 8 and 9, all intersecting multiple quartz veins, we were disappointed to end 2020 without high-grade Pogo style success at West Pogo. Our team is now undertaking a review of all the structural data from the orientated core and geophysics data sets collected to determine the next steps for the Aurora, Echo and Reflection Prospects and how this knowledge can be applied to future targets.

We also got boots on the ground right across the 64North project, completing a huge regional program and assessing 31 new prospects. This has laid solid foundations for exploration in 2021 and the future success at 64North. Our team identified a number of fantastic targets of potential high-grade Pogo repeats at East Pogo and multiple large scale potential intrusion hosted / Fort Knox style systems at the Sunrise and E1 Prospects. This process has led us to challenge our original assumptions and reconsider 64North as multiple projects under a single banner. This new framework is letting us see new opportunities that may have been overlooked by previous explorers.

The identification of compelling 50-150m depth drill targets at East Pogo and roadside outcropping drill targets at the Sunrise Prospect, West Pogo give RML the opportunity to test multiple prospects in 2021 with cost effective RAB drilling.

Now as operator of the project we are looking to deliver more shots on goal in 2021, benefiting from a stronger AUD$ and the use of cost effective RAB drilling. Drilling is likely to commence in March at the outcropping Sunrise Prospect and then moving onto the compelling East Pogo target in May-June-July.

I think the opportunity presented to Resolution shareholders by the 64North Project is still just as valid today as it was a year ago. It was created by a unique set of circumstances that a junior is rarely able to grab. This includes the timing of the change of ownership of the Pogo Gold Mine, Millrock’s project generator business model and the Canadian markets’ focus on other industries in 2018/19. The swift action by the RML team secured this opportunity in 2019, our hard work through 2020 has laid the groundwork, and in 2021 we are looking to deliver.

The Company is also very fortunate to hold excellent copper and battery metal assets in the Northern Territory. Resolution is aiming to take advantage of the renewed interest in these metals and progress the Wollogorang and Benmara projects in the coming dry season. More on this story to come.

Resolution’s mission is to hunt for big scale gold and battery metal targets in big country – in 2021 I believe the company is in the best position ever to deliver discovery success.

The new Benmara Project is complementary to RML’s nearby Wollogorang battery metals project. The geographic location will allow RML to focus our Australian exploration efforts on battery metals in the Northern Territory in 2021. (RML Announcement “New Copper Project Acquired - Northern Territory” on 15 December 2020).

The Wollogorang Project , is 100% owned, 3,825km[2] in size and is highly prospective for sedimentary hosted battery metals Copper and Cobalt in the McArthur Basin and sits on the LAB Base Metal Corridor defined by Geoscience Australia (Hoggard et al 2020). Previous exploration activities by RML intersected high grade shallow copper mineralisation in drilling at the Gregjo Prospect 7 m @ 1.23% Cu from 1 m including 1 m @ 4.24% Cu (holeID 18RAB013). A follow up IP geophysical survey defined a sizeable anomalous drill target below the oxide zone identified in previous drilling. The Gregjo Prospect is fully permitted, drill ready and open along strike.

East Pogo Activities and Results

  • During the quarter final processing of new ZTEM geophysical survey and surface geochemistry has defined an initial 2,000m RAB program of shallow Pogo-style drill targets (50-150m).

  • These drill targets were identified by integrating all the available datasets in a 3D workspace which include ground CSAMT and airborne ZTEM and Magnetics geophysical survey results, surface mapping and geochemistry see Figure 4.

  • RML added nineteen (19) new State of Alaska Mining Claims (12km[2] ) see Figure 4.

  • The East Pogo Block is sandwiched between the Pogo Gold Mine to the west and the Tibbs Project to the east on the high-grade gold endowed Pogo Trend and is intended to be the focus for shallow cost effective RAB drilling this summer, May to September.

Aurora Prospect, West Pogo: Diamond Drilling Results - Holes 8 and 9

The final two diamond drillholes for 2020 (20AU08 596m & 20AU09 234m – Figure 5 ) intersected dilational zones with multiple quartz veins ( Figure 9 and Figure 10 ), no significant results were returned at the “Central Zone” of the Aurora Prospect in these holes. Zones of quartz veining and intense alteration were intersected in both holes with zones of interest from Hole #8 (228-230m, 309-310m, 477-478m & 567-571m) and Hole #9 (112-114m & 212-213m). The technical team is assessing all new information acquired from the drilling (including orientated core structural measurements) in 2020 to determine the next steps for the Aurora, Echo and Reflection Prospects. A consulting structural geological firm has been engaged to complete a robust analysis as part of the technical review process.

Answer: No. The Company undertakes exploration in Alaska, USA and in the Gulf Country
of the Northern Territory (NT). Exploration at the 64North project in Alaska is
impacted by the Northern Hemisphere winter and at the Wollogorang project (at the
same time) in the NT by the north Australian wet season. In both areas, projects
are impacted by weather conditions and exploration activities are significantly
reduced in the first quarter of 2021.

  • 8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?

  • Answer: The Company has demonstrated track record of successfully raising cash since listing on the ASX via share placements, share purchase plans and a rights issues to fund its operations. The Company has a corporate advisory joint-lead manager mandate in place with two significant brokering houses which have successfully supported the Company in significant prior capital raises. It is expected that the Company will undertake future capital raising activity, which it expects will be successful in meeting its cash requirements in time for the field season(s).

  • 8.8.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?

  • Answer: The Company expects to continue its operations and meet its business objectives via capital raising. In the event that Resolution Minerals is required to raise further funds, activities will be tailored to ensure sufficient funds are available in the short term to meet its obligations.

Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
