Resolute’s total gold hedge book is now 160,000 ounces in monthly deliveries out to June 2020 with 65,000 ounces in $US and 95,000 ounces in A$.

Resolute’s managing director and CEO John Welborn said: “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 current year US dollar hedging position at levels significantly above our budgeted gold price protects and supports Resolute’s revenue and cash flows.
“With long mine lives, large gold inventories, and an industry leading production growth profile, Resolute remains strongly leveraged to further upside in gold prices.
“The company’s current hedge book represents less than 3% of our current Ore Reserves.”
