About this Report

The preliminary final report of Resolute Mining Limited and its subsidiaries ("Resolute" or the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors.

Resolute Mining Limited (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.

Basis of Preparation

This report is based on accounts that are in the process of being audited.

This report does not include all of the notes normally included in an Annual Financial Report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2019 and any public announcements made by RML during the reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Rounding of Amounts

The Financial Report has been prepared in United States dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) unless otherwise stated.

Currency

Functional and presentation currency

The Directors have elected to change the Group's presentation currency from Australian dollars (A$) to United States (US$) dollars effective 1 January 2020. The change in presentation currency is a voluntary change which is accounted for retrospectively. All other accounting policies are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial report from the year ended 31 December 2019. The financial report has been restated to US dollars using the procedures outlined below:

1.     Income statement and Statement of Cash Flow have been translated into US dollars using average foreign currency rates prevailing from the relevant year. For material income statement items the spot rate at the date of transaction was used.

2.     Assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position have been translated into US dollars at the closing foreign currency rate on the relevant balance sheet dates.

3.     The equity section of the Statement of Financial Position, including foreign currency translation reserve, retained earnings, share capital and other reserves, has been translated into US dollars on the basis that the Group had always reported in US dollars.

4.     Earnings per share and dividend disclosure have also been restated to US dollars to reflect the change in presentation currency

Items in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured in their respective functional currencies. Resolute Mining Limited's functional is Australian dollars and presentation currency is United States dollars.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group's entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
 

About this Report (continued)

Currency (continued)

Transaction and balances

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the exception of monetary items classified as net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in OCI until the net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

·      assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated statement of financial position;

·      income and expenses for each consolidated statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and,

·      all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders' equity. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(1) Resolute's subsidiary SOMISY, has received demands for payment to the Mali Tax Authorities in relation to Income Tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) for the tax years ended 31 December 2015 to 2020. Based on the facts and circumstances available at the date of this report and in line with requirements of the accounting standards, the Group has provided an additional $24.3m for the VAT demands as at 31 December 2020, with the provisions for these matters totalling $68.5m. The factual basis and validity of these demands are being strongly disputed by Resolute due to fundamental misinterpretations of the application of certain tax laws to SOMISY with reference to the provisions of SOMISY's Establishment Convention. Resolute continues to work with its legal and tax advisors to contest the demand and will resist any efforts to enforce payment. The demand for Income Tax has been disclosed as a contingent liability. Refer to Note 13.

As part of the $110 million Taurus Debt Facility entered into by Toro Gold in 2017 to fund the construction of the Mako Gold Mine, Toro Gold granted Taurus a royalty of 1.1% on gross gold proceeds on gold production up to 1.4 million ounces. The royalty payable is considered to represent a derivative financial instrument and therefore accounted for at fair value through profit and loss. Resolute acquired this royalty held by Taurus.

During September and October 2020, the Group entered into zero-cashflow collar contracts whereby the Group purchased a series of gold call options and sold a series of gold put options contracts with equal and offsetting values at inception. These contracts are comprised of put options at $1,600/oz and $1,700/oz and call options at an average of $2,300/oz. The gold zero-cashflow collars are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy valued at $0.4m. These zero-cashflow collar contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employ the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing using present value calculations.
 

Notes to the Preliminary Final Report

11. Business Combination

Acquisition of Toro Gold

On 31 July 2019, Resolute (through its wholly owned subsidiary, Resolute UK 2 Limited) signed a binding agreement to acquire all the shares of Toro Gold. When Resolute issued its 31 December 2019 financial statements, the measurement of the acquired assets and liabilities was provisional. In the 31 December 2019 financial statements, Resolute had recognised a deferred tax liability on acquisition of $9m and mine properties and development of $257m. Upon finalisation of the purchase price accounting, Resolute has adjusted the provisional amount for following:

·      the valuation of the deferred tax liability was finalised and updated to $2m following further clarification on operation of tax regime in Senegal.

·      The valuation of mine properties and development was finalised and updated to $250m

 

Adjustment in the 31 December 2019 financial statements:

In accordance with accounting standards, Resolute has made retrospective adjustments by restating the 31 December 2019 financial information in accounting for the finalisation of the business combination as detailed below:

·      the carrying amount of the deferred tax liability at 31 December 2019 decreased by $7m.

·      the carrying amount of mine properties and development at 31 December 2019 decreased by $7m.

 

12. Asset Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation

Sale of Ravenswood Gold Mine

On 15 January 2020, Resolute signed a definitive agreement for the sale of the Ravenswood Gold Mine in Queensland to a consortium comprising of a fund managed by private equity manager EMR Capital and energy and mining company Golden Energy and Resources Limited. The consideration for the sale comprised A$50m of cash up front, A$50m promissory note and up to A$200m potential payments. The potential payments are contingent on future gold prices and future gold production from the Ravenswood Gold Mine as well as the investment outcomes from the Ravenswood Gold Mine for EMR Capital. The asset sale was completed on 31 March 2020 and is reported in the current year as a discontinued operation.

Transaction consideration comprises total cash payments to Resolute of up to A$300m as follows:

-       A$100m of immediate value represented by

o  A$50m of cash; and

o  A$50m in Promissory Note;

-       Up to A$50m via a Gold Price Contingent Payment instrument; and

-       Up to A$150m via an Upside Sharing Payment instrument

The consideration received from EMR is being accounted for under AASB 15: Revenue from Contract with Customers.

Promissory Note

A A$50m promissory note with an annual coupon rate of 6% to be paid in cash to Resolute at maturity. The receivable matures at the earlier of liquidity date or maximum term of seven years.

The Promissory Note is initially valued at net present value of A$50m ($30.7m) and subsequently measured at amortised cost under AASB 9 of A$52m ($40.3m) as at 31 December 2020.

The carrying amount of the promissory note at 31 December 2020 approximates its fair value.

 

 

Notes to the Preliminary Final Report

12. Asset Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation (continued)

Gold Price Contingent Payment Instrument

A Gold Price Contingent Payment is payable to Resolute for years following Financial Close based on the following bands:

-       A$10m if the average gold price is greater than A$1,900/oz,

-       A$20m if the average gold price is greater than A$1,975/oz,

-       A$30m if the average gold price is greater than A$2,050/oz,

-       A$40m if the average gold price is greater than A$2,075/oz, and

-       A$50m if the average gold price is greater than A$2,100/oz.

Payment of the Gold Price Contingent Payment is subject to the cumulative ounces produced from Ravenswood exceeding 500,000oz of gold over the four-year period and is subject to adjustment if the production adopted by the buyer is reduced or lower than expected.

For the Gold Price Contingent Payment Instrument, we have assessed the likelihood of the production target being met as well as the likely weighted average gold price to be achieved over the four-year period. We have used the following assumptions in the determination of this variable consideration:

-       Resolute assumed that the 500,000oz of gold production over the four-year period will be met.

-       Resolute used forecast gold prices submitted by reputable banks and brokerage firms and forecast out to a period of up to 5 years.

-       Resolute assessed that the occurrence of a liquidity event within the 4-year period to be unlikely.

The Gold Price Contingent Payment Instrument is valued at a net present value of A$20m ($15.4m) at 31 December 2020, based on the most likely amount method.
