Report on Payments to Government

Year Ended 31 December 2019

Report on Payments to Government for the Year Ended 31 December 2019

Resolute and its subsidiaries (together, "Resolute") are engaging in extractive operations as gold mining concession holders in several locations across the world. This Report provides a consolidated overview of the payments to governments made by Resolute for the year ended 31 December 2019 as required under the UK Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA") "Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules" ("DTR").

This Report has been prepared in accordance with the rules enacted by DTR 4.3A that require oil, gas, mining and logging companies that have securities listed on UK-regulated markets to annually and publicly disclose any payments made to governments on a country-by-country and/or project-by-project basis. These rules apply to Resolute by virtue of its listing on the London Stock Exchange and Listing Rule 14.3.22R.

This Report has been filed and submitted to the FCA's National Storage Mechanism (https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) and is also available for download from [Resolute website link to be included].

Basis of preparation

This Report has been prepared in accordance with The Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 as enacted in the UK in December 2014, as amended in December 2015 and Chapter 10 of EU Accounting Directive 2013/34/EU.

Payments to governments made by Resolute have been included in this Report. However, payments made by entities where Resolute has joint control have been excluded. Government includes any national, regional or local authority of a country, and includes a department, agency or entity that is a subsidiary of a government.

Payments to governments are required to be reported in the following categories:

   --      production entitlements; 

-- taxes levied on the income, production or profits of companies, excluding taxes levied on consumption such as value added taxes, personal income taxes or sales taxes;

   --      royalties; 

-- dividends, other than dividends paid to a government as an ordinary shareholder unless they are paid in

lieu of a   production entitlement or royalty; 
   --      signature, discovery and production bonuses; 

-- licence fees, rental fees, entry fees and other considerations for licences and/or concessions; and

   --      payments for infrastructure improvements. 

Payments included in the Report are amounts paid, whether in money or in kind, for relevant activities. Where a payment or a series of related payments do not exceed GBP86,000 they do not need to be disclosed. When preparing this Report, a threshold of US$110,000 (approx. GBP86,000) was applied.

Payments made in currencies other than US Dollars are translated for this Report based on the foreign exchange rate at the relevant monthly average rate.
