Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation
(EBITDA(2)) of $391.6 million in 2025 was an improvement on the comparative
period. This was primarily due to the higher revenue of $865.6 million from
gold sales of 258,544 oz (2024: 335,708 oz) at an average realised price of
$3,338/oz (2024: $2,383/oz). It also increased due to a reduction in operating
costs at both Syama and Mako.

Indirect tax expense costs of $36.8 million have decreased significantly when
compared to 2025. This is due to the Protocol settlement payments of $159.9
million that Resolute made to the Government of Mali in late 2024.

On 14 October 2025, Resolute signed a voting agreement to support the sale of
it's 31.45 million shares in Loncor Gold to Chengtun Mining Group Co., Ltd
resulting in a $31.5 million fair value adjustment.

 

Financial Position

Operating cash flows in 2025 were $226.6 million. Cash flow was significantly
higher than in 2024 ($115.0 million) and was primarily driven by consistent
operations, a focus on reducing costs, and higher realised gold prices
throughout the year.

Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2025 was $62.6 million. Net
cash(‍1,2) was $209.1 million at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: $66.3
million). Total borrowings at 31 December 2025 was $57.8 million which are
from overdraft facilities in Mali and Senegal.

 

 

In 2025, Resolute increased investment in its business with cash spend on
evaluation, development, property, plant, and equipment totalling $119.0
million (2024: $104.8 million). This included expenditure on the Syama
Sulphide Conversion Project (SSCP) and on the Doropo and ABC projects which
were acquired in May 2025.

 

Syama Gold Mine, Mali

Total gold poured at Syama of 176,341 oz in 2025 was 18% lower than the prior
year due to lower head grades at both the sulphide and oxide plants. This was
due to increased use of stockpiled material and lower mined grades in the
sub-level cave.

Both oxide and sulphide plants maintained high utilisation rates and operated
near nameplate capacity of 3.9Mt. The combined ore tonnes mined decreased
marginally to 3.0 Mt (vs 3.2 Mt in 2024) as production from the sub-level cave
was impacted by disruption of explosive supplies during the second half of the
year. The Company has been working on explosive supply chain issues since Q3
and it is not expected to be a major issue in 2026 and moving forward.

Syama's All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC)(‍1) for 2025 was $2,008/oz which was
34% higher than in 2024 ($1,497/oz) and was within the revised guidance
($1,900/oz - 2,050/oz). The increase in AISC in 2025 is mainly attributed to
increased royalty payments (a sliding scale regime dependent on gold price
under the 2023 Mining Code) as well as a reduction in gold poured when
compared to the prior year.

 

Mako Gold Mine, Senegal

2025 production from Mako was 100,895 oz at an AISC of $1,270/oz which was
within the revised guidance range (98-102 koz). Gold production was lower than
the prior year as open pit mining ceased in Q2 2025 and the operation
transitioned to stockpile processing during the second half of 2025. The plant
will continue to process stockpile material into 2026.

The AISC(2) marginally increased by 2% in 2025 which was mainly attributable
to increased royalty payments due to higher gold prices as well as lower gold
production as the operation transitioned to stockpile processing.

 

 

 

(‍1) AISC is a non-GAAP measure that has not been audited and represents
all-in sustaining cost.

1.    Subsequent events

Doropo Gold Project Mining Permit

 

On 5 February 2026, the Council of Ministers formally announced the granting
of the mining permit for the Doropo Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. The permit
is valid for an initial term of 14 years, with the option to extend. Receipt
of the Doropo mining permit represents a significant step toward Resolute's
ambition to become a leading multi-asset gold producer in West Africa. This
milestone supports the Company's strategy to increase annual gold production
to more than 500 koz by the end of 2028 and reinforces its commitment to
disciplined growth and long-term shareholder value.

 

Loncor Shareholding

 

On 11 February 2026, Resolute completed the sale of its shareholding in
TSX-listed Loncor Gold Inc. to Chengtun Mining Group Co., Ltd. for cash
consideration of $43.4 million CAD ($31.45 million USD).
