Resolute Mining Limited (ASX/LSE: RSG, Resolute or the Company) is pleased to announce the Company's Annual Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement at 31 December 2021.

Ore Reserves have been maintained at 4.1Moz of gold while Mineral Resources have increased by 1Moz to 9.5Moz of gold after accounting for the effects of mining depletion, asset sales and exploration success.

A detailed breakdown of the Company's Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources at 31 December 2021 representing the Syama and Mako operations is presented in the tables below. The 2021 Annual Ore Reserve Statement is Forincluded at Table 3 of this announcement and the 2021 Annual Mineral Resource Statement is included at Table 4.

At 31 December 2021 Resolute's direct share of Ore Reserves was 3.4Moz and Mineral Resources of 7.8 Moz.

The sale of the Bibiani Gold Mine in 2021 removed 0.66Moz of Ore Reserves and 2.5Moz of Mineral Resources from Resolute's Global Inventory.

All tonnes and grade information have been rounded to reflect relative uncertainty of the estimate, small differences may be present in the totals.

Ore Reserves as at 31 December 2021 on a 100% basis total 4.1Moz, which reflects the sale of Bibiani.

useIn Mali, the Ore Reserves at the Syama Gold Mine (Syama) increased due to an expansion in the Ore Reserves at Tabakoroni.

Continued exploration success at Tabakoroni led to a large increase in Ore Reserves with drilling programs completed in 2021 greatly increasing measured and Indicated Resources leading to a 78% increase in Ore Reserves to five million tonnes (Mt) at 4.7g/t Au for 766,000oz.

Underground Ore Reserves at Syama deceased due to mining depletion and changes to the sub-level cave flow model.

Open pit Ore Reserves at Syama increased slightly over the December 2020 statement due to increases at Tabakoroni and the Northern Pits.

Ore Reserves at the Mako Gold Mine (Mako) decreased in line with mining depletion.

Resolute's asset ownership is 80% of Syama (Mali Government 20%), 90% of Tabakoroni (Mali Government 10%), 90% of Mako (Senegalese Government 10%). As such, the Company's fully attributable Ore Reserves position net government interests, is 3.4Moz of gold.

Mineral Resources (inclusive of Ore Reserves) at 31 December 2021, on a 100% basis, contain 9.5Moz of gold. The

Company's fully attributable Mineral Resources position, net of government interests is 7.8Moz of gold.

ForMineral Resources decreased from the previously published position at 31 December 2020 following the sale of Bibiani, which previously contributed 2.5Moz.

The total Mineral Resources at Tabakoroni remain largely the same as the previous statement however successful drilling programs in 2021 converted a large proportion of the inferred resources to indicated category leading to a 40% increase in the Measured and Indicated Resources.

There was a substantial increase in the Mineral Resources from the Syama Satellite Deposits to 1.6Moz, which was underpinned by a sizable increase in the Mineral Resources from the Northern Pits as a result of drilling programs which have been added to the inventory this year.

In Senegal, the Mineral Resources at Mako were re-estimated in 2021 following drilling programs completed in the past few years. This updated Mineral Resource Estimation did not make a material change in the resources, which showed a small decrease this year in line with mining depletion.
