## Commitment to expanding our gold resources and production base 

During the past year Resolute has continued to expand its exploration activities. An increased level of exploration activity and spending is a reflection of Resolute’s commitment to expanding its gold resources and production base. The main thrust has been to fund exploration activities where there is a reasonable chance of defining economic mineralisation close to our existing operations and by entering strategic joint ventures in parcels of ground that have been identified in our regional studies.
