(and is therefore considered relevant to readers of this document.)

Group EBITDA of $148.2 million 2022 was a 14% improvement on the comparative period reflecting:

-- Higher revenue of $651.1 million from gold sales of 357,447oz (up 13%) at an average realised price of $1,819/oz (up 5%). The higher ounces sold reflects increased gold production (up 19%) due to:

o improved Sulphide processing performance with gold recovered up 4% (gold poured up 19%);

o higher gold recovered from both Syama Oxide (up 8%) and Mako (up 2%); and

o significant drawdown from gold in circuit of 21,752oz (2021: 3,084oz).

-- Higher cost of sales due to significant increases in fuel and consumables prices as well as the impact of non-cash adjustments for bullion and gold in circuit (as a result of the continued drawdown of material).

-- Lower exploration and business development expenditure as a result of prior year transaction costs associated with divestments (sale of Bibiani and Cote D'Ivoire exploration assets).

The following abnormal items have been added back to the reported net loss in arriving at the underlying net profit of $20.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2022:

-- Disputed Senegalese tax expense ($23.9m), relates to an ongoing dispute with the Senegalese tax authorities regarding PMC's tax exoneration status;

-- Historical tax adjustments ($14.8m), included within this amount is $3.0m expected to be cash settled, with the remainder expected to be settled with VAT and other tax credits;

-- Provision for obsolete consumables ($16.2m), with $2.3m pertaining to Mako and the remainder to Syama.

Financial Position

Net debt decreased by $197.2 million to $31.6 million at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021:

$228.8 million). Total borrowings at 31 December 2022 were $125.6 million comprising $80.0 million drawn on the Term Loan Facility and RCF, and overdraft facilities in Mali and Senegal of $45.6 million. Available liquidity of $189.0 million includes cash and bullion of $94.0 million and $95.0 million of undrawn RCF. As at the date of this release, the RCF has been fully repaid with $100 million available to be redrawn.

Resolute continued to invest in the business in 2022 with spending on development, property, plant, and equipment totalling $63.0 million (2021: $56.9 million) including outlays for tailings facilities across both sites, capitalised stripping costs and project capital at Syama.

Syama Gold Mine, Mali

2022 production from the Syama Sulphide circuit was 161,479oz at an AISC of $1,410/oz. A 19% increase in production at a steady AISC compared to the prior year ($1,406/oz). Ore mined increased from 2.2Mt to 2.3Mt while the roaster recorded its highest ever throughput, processing 175.2kt. The Syama sulphide operation is expected to continue to benefit from the successful planned maintenance shutdown which was completed in early April 2022.

Production from the Syama Oxide operations was 62,165oz at an AISC of $1,801/oz. The oxide operations continued lower grade mining at several satellite pits. Gold poured for the year increased 9%, with momentum picking up in the second half and the highest gold production occurring in the December quarter.

Mako Gold Mine, Senegal

2022 production from Mako was 129,425oz at an AISC of $1,318/oz. Tonnes processed steadily increased over the year reflecting increased plant uptime and modifications to the SAG Mill configuration. The increase in AISC reflected a higher volume of material mined, which impacted mining costs and continued pressure on consumables amid industry wide inflationary pressures.

Resolute's subsidiaries SOMISY(Mali) and PMC(Senegal), have received demands for payment to the Local Tax Authorities in relation to Income Tax and indirect tax for the years ended 31 December 2015 to 2022.

At 31 December 2022 the total provision for indirect taxes has increased from $50.4 million to $92.9 million.

This increase is as a result of an additional $37.6 million due to the potential reduction in the Mako tax exoneration period to 5 years. This amount relates to provisions for customs duties and VAT. Whilst these amounts are recognised as provisions. Resolute is firmly of the view that it has complied with all the requirements for the extension of the tax exoneration to 7 years and will continue to work with the Senegalese authorities to resolve this matter.

The remainder of the increase relates to an additional $4.6 million of indirect tax provisions in Mali based on government demands received, with a provision recognised in line with the requirements of relevant accounting standards. Resolute continues to challenge the factual basis and validity of these demands which are strongly disputed due to fundamental misinterpretations of the application of certain taxes. Resolute continues to work with its legal and tax advisors to contest the positions taken by the Authorities.

10 Subsequent events

On 19 January 2023, the Group announced that the Syama North Resource estimate increased to 34.0 million tonnes at 2.9g/t for 3.2 million ounces of gold.

11 Impairment testing

Impairment indicator assessment

At 31 December 2022, Resolute's quoted market capitalisation was lower than its net asset carrying value. Further, Resolute noted that the impact of inflationary pressures on costs and increase in risk free rate that underpins the applicable discount rate. These factors were considered as indicators of impairment. As a result, an impairment test was performed to determine the recoverable amounts for all CGU's of the Group, being the Syama Gold Mine and the Mako Gold Mine using the fair value less cost to sell (FVLCD) method.

Syama CGU - 31 December 2022

Syama indicator assessment

Whilst Syama's 2022 forecast production remain in line with budget, as a result of the general indicators of impairment noted above, a formal impairment test was performed to determine the recoverable amount for the Syama CGU.

Key Assumptions used to determine recoverable amount

The table below summarises the key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount:

 
                                31 December 2022  31 December 2021 
==============================  ================  ================ 
Gold price ($/oz)                    1,735-1,534       1,777-1,467 
Discount rate (post tax real)              14.8%             14.0% 
Unmined resources ($/oz)                 $20-$58           $20-$54 
==============================  ================  ================ 
 

Gold prices

Gold prices are estimated with reference to external market forecasts based on a consensus view of market experts.

Discount rate

In determining the recoverable amount of assets, the future cash flows were discounted using rates based on the CGU's estimated real weighted average cost of capital, with an additional premium applied having regard to the CGU's risk profile.

Unmined resources

Unmined resources which are not included in the life -- of -- mine plan as result of the current assessment of economic returns, timing of specific production alternatives and the prevailing economic environment have been valued and included in the assessed fair value.

Operating and capital costs

Life -- of -- mine operating and capital cost assumptions are based on the Group's latest budget and life -- of mine plans. Operating cost assumptions reflect an assumption of maintaining current cost, over the long term, without including expected improvements over the life of mine.

Recognition

As a result of the analysis performed, there is no impairment loss recognised for the Syama CGU for the period ended 31 December 2022.

11 Impairment of non current assets (continued)

Mako CGU - 31 December 2022

Mako indicator assessment

Whilst Mako's 2021 forecast production and cost remain in line with budget, as a result of the general indicators of impairment noted above and the reduction in the tax exoneration period to 5 years (refer to Note 5), a formal impairment test was performed to determine the recoverable amount for the Mako CGU.

K ey Assumptions

The table below summarises the key assumptions used in the determining the recoverable amount:

 
                                31 December 2022  31 December 2021 
==============================  ================  ================ 
Gold price ($/oz)                    1,735-1,534       1,777-1,467 
Discount rate (post tax real)              10.5%             10.5% 
Unmined resources ($/oz)                     $48               $44 
==============================  ================  ================ 
 

Gold prices

Gold prices are estimated with reference to external market forecasts based on a consensus view of market experts.

Discount rate

In determining the recoverable amount of assets, the future cash flows were discounted using rates based on the CGU's estimated real discount rate, with an additional premium applied having regard to the CGU's risk profile.

Unmined resources

Unmined resources which are not included in a CGU's life -- of -- mine plan as result of the current assessment of economic returns, timing of specific production alternatives and the prevailing economic environment have been valued and included in the assessed fair value.

Operating and capital costs

Life -- of -- mine operating and capital cost assumptions are based on the Group's latest budget and life -- of mine plans. Operating cost assumptions reflect an assumption of maintaining current cost, over the long term, without including expected improvements over the life of mine.

Recognition

As a result of the analysis performed, there is no impairment loss recognised for the Mako CGU for the period ended 31 December 2022.

12 Investment in associates

The Group has 23.3% investment in Loncor Resources Inc, with a carrying value of nil as at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021:$1.2 million).

The decrease in net assets at 31 December 2021 is due to the derecognition of income tax asset for the Syama operation in Mali. A reduction of CFA 4.271 billion ($6.9 million) was recorded on the basis that this amount did not meet the recognition criteria for a tax asset at 30 June 2018 and should have been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as a tax expense.

At 1 January 2021, this resulted in the reduction of the income tax assets of $6.9 million, a reduction in retained earnings of $5.6 million and a reduction in Non-controlling interest of $1.4 million.
