The full text of a Resolute announcement is pasted below

Resolute Mining Limited has received a request for the appointment of Mr David Matthew Guy as a director of the Company.

Mr Guy is 34 years old and has a legal, investment and financial planning background.

The Board does not consider Mr Guy to be an appropriate appointment as a director and has declined the request.

The Board is aware of correspondence Mr Guy has sent to some of the shareholders of the Company and recognises that ultimately the appointment of directors is a matter on which the shareholders should have the final say. Therefore the Board has resolved to
call an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders to vote on the question as to whether Mr Guy should be appointed as a director.

By letter dated 19 April 2007, and in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act, the Board requested that if Mr Guy wished to be appointed as a director that he lodge a signed consent to act with the Company. As at the date of this announcement, that signed consent has not yet been received by the Company.

Subject to receiving that director's consent from Mr Guy, a Notice of Meeting will be despatched to shareholders as soon as possible convening the proposed meeting of shareholders for no later than the end of June 2007.
