AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of Resolute (West Africa) Limited

We have audited the balance sheet of Resolute (West Africa) Limited as at June 30, 2003 and the statements of loss and deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Amounts as at March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the nine-month periods ended March 31 2004 and 2003 and the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited]

1. Nature of Operations & Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

Resolute (West Africa) Limited (the "Company") is registered in Jersey, Channel Islands. The Company is engaged in the evaluation, acquisition and exploration of gold properties in Burkina Faso, Africa, with the intent of developing and placing the properties into production, if commercially feasible. The Company is a development stage enterprise and currently has no significant revenue from operations. The success of the Company's exploration and development of mineral deposits in Africa is influenced by significant financial risks, legal and political risks, commodity prices and the ability of the Company to discover economically recoverable reserves and to bring such reserves into future profitable production.

Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realisation of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue to meet its obligations and carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and is dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and the ability to enter into joint venture agreements on some of its properties. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be required should the going concern assumption prove to be incorrect.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company is an exploration company with no current revenue-producing properties. The financial statements of the Company have, in management's opinion, been prepared within the reasonable limits of materiality and in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Significant accounting policies are summarised below:

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Resolute (West Africa) Mining Company SA.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Mining properties and deferred exploration expenditures

Exploration expenditures related to mining properties are deferred if it is probable that these costs will be recovered from future operations; otherwise they are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Acquisition costs for mining properties are deferred until it is determined that these costs will not be recovered from future operations, at which point these costs are written off to operations. Acquisition costs for mining properties and deferred exploration expenditures are depleted on a unit-of-production basis commencing at the onset of commercial production for the related property.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Amounts as at March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the nine-month periods ended March 31 2004 and 2003 and the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited]

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of less than three months.

Fixed assets

Fixed assets are carried at written down cost. The book value of tangible assets is depreciated over the useful economic lives of the specific assets concerned or the life of the mine or lease, if shorter.

Net loss per common share

Net loss per common share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period 2,117,307 (Prior Periods: 2,117,307). Diluted net loss per common share has not been presented as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Income taxes

Income taxes are provided for in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method of accounting for income taxes, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

3. Mining Properties

Mining properties consist of the following:

As at March 31,  

June 30,

  2004 2003 2002
  $ $ $
  (unaudited)   (unaudited)
       
Belahouro 5,971,849 5,256,651 3,667,617
Other Burkina Faso properties 183,771 175,403 354,133
Total 6,155,620 5,432,054 4,021,750

The Belahouro property is located approximately 250 kilometres northwest of the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, Resolute Limited (parent entity) increased its ownership of the Company to 100% during the year ended 30 June 2002 through an agreement with BHP Minerals to convert its 40% equity interest to a 2.5% royalty on future production. As part of the purchase accounting a write down of the value of mining properties of $19.4 million was made during the period.

4. Income Taxes

The Company is classified as an Exploration Company under the Burkina Faso tax regime. Whilst the Company retains this classification, an income tax return is not required to be submitted, as all expenditure is capital in nature.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Amounts as at March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the nine-month periods ended March 31 2004 and 2003 and the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited]

5. Issued Capital

The Company has on issue 2,117,307 common shares without par value. A summary of common share transactions is as follows:

    2003     2002  
  Shares   Amount Shares   Amount
  #   $ #   $
Balance, beginning and end of year 2,117,307   2,780,002 2,117,307   2,780,002

6. Related Party Transaction

The Company's operations are financed via its parent company Resolute Limited. The due to related parties loans generated are non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. As at June 30, 2003, $21,674,102 was due to Resolute Limited.

During the year, $711,536 was paid to Resolute Amansie Limited as reimbursement for exploration services provided by Resolute Amansie Limited on the Company's mining properties. Of this amount, $101,324 was payable at June 30, 2003.

7. Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of amounts due to related parties cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainty as to timing and method of repayment.

8. Significant Event

On January 30, 2004, Goldbelt Resources Ltd ("Goldbelt") entered into an arm's length agreement with Resolute Mining Limited of Perth Australia ("Resolute"), an Australian Stock Exchange listed company, to acquire Resolute's indirect 100% interest in Resolute (West Africa) Limited ("RWA") for cash ($US 1.5 million) and securities of Goldbelt (warrants to the value of CAD $5 million).
