Dual-listed Resolute Mining, which has gold mines in Mali and Australia, reported a modest fall in first-half profit after higher revenue was offset by investment spending.

Adjusted profit rose 9% to A$35.7m.

Resolute said it continued to 'invest heavily in the business', with capital expenditures on development, evaluation, property, plant and equipment totalling $150m and exploration and evaluation expenditure of $6.5m.

A total of 176,237 ounces of gold were produced and 176,924 ounces of gold was sold at an average realised price of US$1,275 per ounce.
