1.b. Last Insights on RSG

Resolute Mining Limited's recent stock performance was negatively driven by the detention of its CEO in Mali, sparking a tax dispute and subsequent demand for $160 million. The company was forced to suspend trading and pay $80 million upfront, with another $80 million to be paid over the coming months. This development has likely disrupted the company's operations and created uncertainty for investors. The tax dispute and CEO detention have overshadowed any positive developments, making it challenging for the company to regain investor confidence.

The company spent $25 million on exploration activities in 2025, with a focus on Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and Mali.

The company's net cash position and financial flexibility provide ample liquidity to support its growth plans.
