QUARTERLY REPORT "The December Quarter was another busy period for Resolution.

The Exploration Team, led by Exploration Manager Christine Lawley, was predominantly focussed on advancing our Northern Territory Battery Metals Projects. They completed a 3,124m RC drilling program targeting copper mineralisation at the Wollogorang Project. The program was funded by our partners OZ Minerals and assays are due in early February. We look forward to using that new information to refine our plans for the 2023 year.

December 2022

Down the road at the nearby Benmara Project, the Team was able to secure all the required government permits and heritage clearances for a 2023 drill program. Importantly, this was the remaining precedent on the Farm-in and JV agreement with OZ Minerals and it triggers the commencement of the initial 2-year minimum commitment of $1m spend.

Looking beyond the Northern Territory we have continued to grow RML's exposure to the 'New Energy and Battery Metals' sector. This was headlined by our investment in Mid-West Lithium - a high-quality hard-rock lithium exploration opportunity in South Dakota. We understand that Mid-West intends to list on the ASX by way of IPO in the second half of 2023.

During the Quarter we also received the final gold assays from the 2022 drilling program at the 64North Gold Project in Alaska. The results included up to 6.7g/t Au and highlight the potential of the Tourmaline Ridge Prospect. Along with the pipeline of other high-quality targets that we have developed across the project, we are now in a very strong position with a range of exciting prospects. This summer we intend to complete structural mapping, geochemistry sampling and geophysics surveys to prioritise drill targets - before further drilling. Noting that the company is pursuing multiple strategic alternatives to advance the prospective 64North Gold Project to maximise shareholder value.

On the corporate front, the Company has also been very active. We welcomed a new USA based Executive Director of Corporate Development, Mark Holcombe. Mark's appointment to drive Corporate Development by leveraging his extensive global network in the new energy and precious metals space aligns with RML's commitment to these commodity types. We look forward to working with Mark and have already seen the value in the global networks and opportunities he brings to the company. We continue our executive search for a new CEO.

Stepping into the new role as Chairman, I'm excited by the future of RML and I look forward to sharing the next steps in our journey to discovery success with you."

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Battery Metals Projects

Figure 1. Location of RML's Northern Territory Projects and significant other parties' projects in the region

Resolution Mineral Ltd's (ASX:RML, Resolution or Company) Battery Metals portfolio covers 8,915 km2 in the Northern Territory and includes some of Australia's most prospective, under-explored terrain for battery and base metals. The projects are located in the McArthur Basin (Wollogorang) and the geologically equivalent South Nicholson Basin (Benmara, Carrara Range), which has recently been identified as having age and geological equivalent sedimentary host rocks to those that host giant base metal deposits in the area. The region includes a number of significant base metal deposits including the McArthur River Mine, Walford Creek Deposit and the Century Mine.

The Wollogorang Project, NT

3,152m Drilling Program Completed

The underexplored Wollogorang Project encompasses 3,825km2 and is located in the highly prospective McArthur Basin, with surrounding ground held by Teck, BHP, Rio Tinto, NT Minerals and South 32.

In collaboration with the OZ Minerals team, Resolution geologists designed a ~6,500m drill program using modern geophysics to target large-scale sediment-hosted stratiform copper mineralisation within the two McArthur Basin Formations (Wollogorang Formation & Gold Creek Volcanics Formation) that occur at Wollogorang. Both formations contain reductive units, that represent prospective trap sites for sedimenthosted stratiform copper mineralisation.

Figure 2. Drilling underway at the Wollogorang Project (2022)

Drilling Completed at Wollogorang Project

On 20 October 2022, Resolution commenced a reverse circulation ("RC") drilling program at the Wollogorang Project in the Northern Territory. The program was designed to test numerous prospective copper targets and was funded by OZ Minerals as part of their first-year commitments as outlined in the earn-in and joint venture agreement between the two companies.

On 15 December 2022, RML announced that the Company had completed approximately half of the planned 6,500m program, completing 21 drill holes, totalling 3,152m before the onset of the wet season. Assays from the program are due in February 2023. Plans for 2023 dry season will be updated after the assays are received.

The Benmara Project, NT

  • Government approvals received for the 2023 Drilling Program
  • Approvals satisfied the final condition precedent on the Farm
    • in and JV agreement with OZ Minerals (ASX: OZL)

The Benmara Project is 120 km south of Resolution's Wollogorang Project and takes up a commanding ground position of 3,840 km2 in the South Nicholson Basin, one of the most under-explored sedimentary basins in Australia. The project is along-strike from the Walford Creek Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn-Co and Westmoreland U Deposits on the Fish River Fault in the Northern Territory.

In late 2021, RML completed a "proof of concept" 15-hole RC drilling program, successfully intersecting the target geological units equivalent to those that host the McArthur River, Lady Loretta, Walford Creek and Century Deposits and confirming the prospectivity of the project.

Figure 4. Drilling underway at the Benmara Project (2021)

Resolution Received Government Approvals For Drilling At The Benmara Project, NT

Resolution Minerals received government approvals enabling the commencement of a drilling program at the Benmara Project planned for the 2023 dry season (May to November). Importantly this approval was the remaining condition precedent on the Farm-in and JV agreement with OZ Minerals Limited (ASX: OZL) on the Benmara Battery Metals Project in the Northern Territory, and it triggers the commencement of the Initial 2-year minimum commitment of $1m expenditure.

The Farm-in agreement with OZL will allow RML and OZL to fast-track the search for copper and other battery metals discoveries on Resolution's Benmara Project, located in the South Nicholson Basin in the Northern Territory. RML is a first mover in the underexplored South Nicholson Basin, which has recently been identified as containing age-equivalent rocks to those that host several giant deposits in the region and possess great potential for the discovery of significant battery metal deposits.

Precious Metals

64North Project, Alaska

  • Encouraging Gold Assays received from Tourmaline Ridge Drilling Program
  • Earned 51% interest in the 64North Gold Project, intention to form JV

The 64North Project is in the Tintina Gold Province and home of giant size gold deposits such as Donlin Creek 39M oz Au, Fort Knox 13M oz gold and the world-class high-grade Pogo Gold Mine, with a total endowment of 12M oz Au. The 64North Project surrounds Northern Star's (ASX: NST) Pogo Gold Mine, 120km from Fairbanks. The Pogo Gold Mine started production in 2006, producing the first 4M oz Au @ 300,000oz/year at over 13g/t Au from 2006 to 2018.

Resolution holds a 51% interest in the 64North Project and is in the process of completing the documentation to form a JV (Joint-Venture) with Millrock Resources (TSXV: MRO) the project vendor. Resolution will manage and operate the project as the majority interest holder on a co-funding basis. Noncontributing parties will be diluted according to an industry-standard formula (using a two-times dilution rate). If any party is diluted to less than a 10% equity ownership interest, their interest will revert to a 1.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty. The Project covers a total of 357km2 .

Encouraging results received from drilling at the Tourmaline Ridge Prospect

In early December, Resolution received the full assay results from the 2022 diamond drilling program at Tourmaline Ridge on the 64North gold Project in Alaska. RML was pleased to report that the program intersected multiple gold-bearing veins with assays of up to 6.7g/t Au, highlighting the potential for discovery success on the 64North Project (see RML announcement on 12 December 2022). The Tourmaline Ridge Prospect lies approximately 5km along strike from Northern Star's (ASX: NST) 12Moz (*total endowment) Pogo Gold Mine and Goodpaster Deposit.

Best intervals included:

Hole ID 22TR005: 1.0m @ 6.7g/t Au from 93m
Hole ID 22TR003: 0.4m @ 4.6g/t Au from 414m
Hole ID 22TR002: 7.0m @ 1.1g/t Au from 169m; and
0.9m @ 1.2g/t Au from 403m; and
0.6m @ 2.8g/t Au from 537m; and
2.1m @ 1.7g/t Au from 551m

The RML exploration team identified Tourmaline Ridge as a high priority drill target after a thorough re-interpretation of the geological and structural models for the area, which showed that surface gold mineralisation represented narrow, antithetic hanging wall veins directly above a dilational, northwest-dipping Pogo-style shear. The five drill holes were oriented to intersect the northwestdipping shear at Tourmaline Ridge and ranged in depth from approximately 270m to 650m for a total of 2,324m. The holes span a strike length of over 1.2km of the Tourmaline Ridge gold geochemical anomaly. They are considered a preliminary test of the geological and structural model and gold mineralisation potential for the prospect.

"

We are highly encouraged to see gold mineralisation up to 6.7g/t Au, with additional intersections exceeding 1g/t Au for widths of up to 7m, associated with flat lying (shear hosted) and high angled (antithetic) quartz veins, supporting our geological model for Tourmaline Ridge.

The presence of significant gold mineralisation across 4 of 5 drill holes indicates that a gold-bearing hydrothermal event has occurred across a wide area at Tourmaline Ridge. We know from our neighbour's results, Northern Star, the first holes at the Goodpaster Deposit had similar grades and thickness to ours, followed up by the discovery hole only 140 metres away, running 4.7m @ 67.5g/t.

Based on these results, the technical team has now further improved its understanding on the controls for gold mineralisation at West Pogo. We intend to complete further structural mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysics surveys to prioritise drill targets - before further drilling.

Resolution earned 51% interest in the 64North Project

In January 2023 Resolution (RML) met all the conditions to earn a majority 51% interest in the 64North Project by successfully completing the Stage Three expenditure requirements. To complete the vesting of the 51% interest in the 64North Project Resolution issued 10 million RML shares and paid a milestone cash payment US$100,000 to Millrock Resources, the vendor.

The opportunity for Resolution shareholders to secure the ground surrounding the operating world-class high-grade Pogo Gold Mine, was created (in 2019) by a unique set of circumstances that a junior is rarely able to grab. The solid work and extensive project knowledge and data sets collected over the last three seasons has identified both large scale IRGS gold and Cu-Mo-Au porphyry targets for follow up. We recently received encouraging assays on the Tourmaline Ridge Prospect and have compelling targets on the East Pogo Prospects in front of us. The Exploration Team is planning further structural mapping, geochemistry sampling and geophysics surveys to prioritise drill targets - before further drilling. The corporate team is tidying up the documentation on forming the JV with Millrock Resources, which will result in Resolution holding a 51% controlling interest on a co-funding basis.

Corporate

  • Placement to Fund Investment into US Lithium Company
  • Board Changes
  • Cash at bank on 31 December 2022 of $2.2 million

Strategic Placement and Lithium Investment

On 11 October 2022, Resolution announced that the Company had successfully completed a strategic share placement for $1,030,000 at $0.01 per share to USA and Australian-based investors.

The bulk of the funds (US$500k) were used to make an approximate 5% equity investment in North American focussed hard rock lithium exploration company Midwest Lithium AG, with properties in South Dakota, Black Hills region.

The investment is being undertaken by Midwest Lithium as part of a larger capital raising of US$2m, which is expected to be sufficient to complete further claim (tenement) acquisition costs, and continue exploration programs, permitting and working capital.

This investment underpins RML's commitment to growing its exposure to new energy metals and assets and gives RML shareholders early exposure to an underexplored known spodumenepegmatite lithium field in an area with significant past spodumene (lithium) production. Dakota is a top-rated North American mining jurisdiction with established large-scale mining operations.

Appointment of US-based Executive Director Mr Mark Holcombe

Resolution Minerals was pleased to announce the appointment of USA-based Executive Director of Corporate Development, Mr Mark Holcombe. Mr Holcombe brings over 30 years' experience in corporate and investment banking, corporate development, and asset management. He has significant experience in M&A advisory, corporate restructurings and public and private debt and equity financings and investments in the natural resources sector. Mr Holcombe also has an extensive global network, focusing on the battery materials and precious metals sectors. One of his current roles is as a senior advisor to Nebari Holdings, which provides global financial solutions to the resource sector. His appointment will provide new opportunities for RML and its shareholders.

Resignation of Directors

Mr Craig Farrow resigned as a Chairman of Resolution Minerals due to the increasing demands of his executive and other board roles.

Mr Andrew Shearer also resigned as a Non-Executive Director of Resolution Minerals due to the increasing demands of his executive and other board roles.

Mr Steve Groves resigned as Managing Director to concentrate on other opportunities that can be effectively fulfilled from his hometown Sydney.
