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

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:

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.

    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).
