Resolute strengthens US$ gold hedge book

30,000 ounces forward sold at average price of US$1,501oz

Resolute Mining Limited (Resolute or the Company) (ASX/LSE: RSG) advises that the Company has forward sold an additional 30,000 ounces of gold at an average price of US$1,501 per ounce in scheduled monthly deliveries of 5,000 ounces between July 2020 and December 2020.

Resolute has extended the Company's US dollar denominated gold hedge position to secure price certainty during 2020 for a portion of the US dollar revenues generated from Resolute's African gold mines: the Syama Gold Mine in Mali and the Mako Gold Mine in Senegal.

The additional US dollar hedging extends Resolute's existing US dollar forward gold sales program which consists of 35,000 ounces of gold forward sold at an average price of US$1,494 per ounce in scheduled monthly deliveries of 5,000 ounces per month through to June 2020 (see ASX Announcement dated 8 August 2019).

Resolute's total gold hedge book as at 24 December 2019, including today's new US dollar gold hedges, consists of 165,000 ounces in monthly deliveries out to December 2020 representing less than 3% of Resolute's Ore Reserves.

Managing Director and CEO, Mr John Welborn, was pleased to continue Resolute's success in maximising gold sales revenue through responsible hedging strategies:

"We continue to actively manage our gold sales and undertake near term hedging to take advantage of gold price volatility, maximise revenues, and protect the Company's balance sheet. Incremental expansion of our US dollar hedging position at current levels which are above our 2020 budgeted gold price, protects and supports Resolute's revenue and cash flow. With long mine lives, large gold inventories, and an industry leading production growth profile, Resolute remains strongly leveraged to further upside in gold prices."
