Note 1: Corporate Information
The financial report of Resolute Mining Limited and its controlled entities for the half year ended 30 June 2025 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors for release on 22 August 2025.
Resolute (the parent) is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.
The principal activities of entities within the consolidated entity during the half year were:
• gold mining; and,
• prospecting and exploration for minerals.
There has been no significant change in the nature of those activities during the half year ended 30 June 2025.
Where appropriate in the financial report, comparative information has been reclassified to align to changes in presentation in the current period to reflect more reliable and relevant information.
Note 2: Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Practices
a) Basis of Preparation
This interim financial report for the half year ended 30 June 2025 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
The half year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial report.
It is recommended that the half year financial report be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 and considered together with any public announcements made by Resolute Mining Limited during the half year ended 30 June 2025 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the Australian Securities Exchange listing rules and London Stock Exchange rules. The consolidated financial report is presented in United States dollars ("$") rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report. New accounting standards issued but not yet effective have not been early adopted.

Note 4: Dividend
There were no interim dividends paid or declared for Resolute Mining Limited during the half year end up to the date of this report (half year ended 30 June 2024: $nil). In June 2025, a subsidiary of the Group declared a dividend of $66.0 million of which $6.6 million will be distributed to its minority shareholders.
As outlined in the significant state of affairs within the 31 December 2024 annual report, Resolute continues to work with the Malian Government to implement the requirements of the 2023 mining code, including the non-diluting priority dividend rights.
Note 5: Taxes
At 30 June 2025, the Group recognised an income tax expense of $53.1 million (30 June 2024: tax expense of $ 19.98 million). The increase in the income tax expense is primarily due to the expiration of the Mako tax exoneration and the utilisation of prior period tax losses at Syama in 2024.
Note 6: Receivables
Included in the total receivables balance of $120.2 million are indirect tax receivables of $71.8 million as of 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: $48.3 million). This primarily relates to indirect taxes owing to the Group from the Republic of Mali and Senegal. The remaining receivables are primarily from the sale of the Ravenswood mine.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 8: Exploration assets
At 30 June 2025, the Group's exploration assets amount to $180.4 million (31 December 2024: $14.0 million ). During the six-month period to 30 June 2025, additions were primarily due to the acquisition of Doropo and ABC Projects of $156.1 million.
On 1 May 2025, Resolute Mining Limited acquired Centamin West African Holdings Limited and its' development-stage Doropo Gold Project along with its ABC project in Côte d'Ivoire from AngloGold Ashanti. This was for $150.0 million, comprising a $25.0 million upfront cash consideration on closing and deferred and contingent consideration consisting of the following:
▪ $50.0 million paid 18 months after closing;
▪ $75.0 million paid 30 months after closing;
▪ The transfer all of Resolute's exploration permits in Guinea to AngloGold (which is subject to government approval); should the transfer not be completed within 18 months from signing Resolute will pay $25.0 million to AngloGold in lieu of the transfer, and
▪ The deferred consideration also includes a 2% royalty over the ABC Project and $10.0 million contingent payment due upon the release of a Feasibility Study over the ABC Project that outlines a Mineral Reserve (JORC 2012) exceeding 1Moz of gold.
Note 9: Development assets and property, plant and equipment
At 30 June 2025, the Group's mine properties amount to $453.5 million (31 December 2024: $431.8 million). During the six-month period to 30 June 2025, further additions for development activities were made of $15.3 million.

Independent auditor's review report to the members of Resolute Mining Limited
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half‑year financial report of Resolute Mining Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the half‑year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half‑year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(a) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2025 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half‑year ended on that date; and
(b) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410) and ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ISRE 2410). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Directors' responsibilities for the half-year financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half‑year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half‑year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half‑year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 and ISRE 2410 require us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half‑year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2025 and its performance for the half‑year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half‑year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards or International Standards on Auditing issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
