REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORT4

CHAIRMAN’S 
REPORT

Dear Shareholder,

It is my great pleasure to present to you  
the 2018 Regis Resources Annual Report. 

As  you  are  aware  the  Company  announced  that  I  will 
be stepping down as Chairman and as a director at this 
year’s  Annual  General  Meeting.    Over  the  last  9  years 
I  have  had  the  privilege  of  leading  this  Company  from 
a  pre-production  exploration  company  to  a  highly 
profitable leading mid-tier gold producer.  I believe the 
time is right for me to handover the leadership of Regis 
as it embarks on the next phase of its growth. 

I am handing over at a time when the Company is in a 
very  strong  position  having  enjoyed  a  record  breaking 
year in FY2018 that included the following highlights:

  Continued  outstanding  operational  performance 
at  Duketon  with  record  gold  production  of  361,373 
ounces at all in sustaining costs of $901 per ounce.

  Record  profit  after  tax  of  $174.2  million,  up  26%  on 

2017 with EBITDA up 23% to 312.5 million. 

  A  fully  franked  final  dividend  of  8  cents  per  share 

taking full year dividends to 16 cents per share.

  The commencement of mining at the Tooheys Well, 
Dogbolter and Anchor pits continuing the strategy of 
blending higher grade satellite ore feed to existing 
operations.

  A  maiden  Ore  Reserve  of  60.1  million  tonnes  at 
1.05g/t  for  2.03  million  ounces  of  gold  estimated 
at  McPhillamys  in  NSW  with  a  pre-feasibility  study 
demonstrating  a  robust  large  scale  open  pit  gold 
mine  with  a  planned  7  million  tonne  per  annum 
mining  and  processing  operation  producing  an 
annual average of 192,000 ounces of gold over a nine 
year mine life. 

  A  successful  underground  drilling  programme  at 
Rosemont  that  delivered  a  maiden  underground 
resource  of  1.4  million  tonnes  at  5.10g/t  Au  for 
230,000 ounces of gold ore.

  Group Ore Reserves as at 31 March 2018 increased by 

86% to 4.06 million ounces.

  Ongoing  work  at  McPhillamys  during  the  year  has 
the  project  progressing  through  the  regulatory 
approvals  process  with  the  lodgement  of  the 
Preliminary Environmental Assessment.

Once  again  the  quality  of  the  Duketon  operation 
delivered very strong financial results. Regis generated 
a  net  operating  cash  flow  of  $259.7  million  for  FY2018 
and at the end of the financial year had cash and bullion 
holdings  of  $208.8  million  with  no  bank  debt.  The  full 
year dividend of 16 cents per share in FY2018 represents 
a  payout  ratio  of  13%  of  revenue  and  26%  of  EBITDA 
for  FY2018.    Regis  continues  to  be  an  Australian  gold 
industry  leader  on  dividend  payment  metrics.  Since 
2013  Regis  has  paid  a  total  of  $326  million  (65cps)  in 
fully franked dividends.  

The  Company’s  record  gold  production  was  achieved 
with  a  strong  contribution  from  the  higher  grade 
satellite projects of Gloster and Erlistoun.  The strategy 
of blending higher grade ore feed from satellite projects 
will continue in FY2019 with the commencement of pre-
strip mining at the Tooheys Well, Dogbolter and Anchor 
deposits.  FY2019  is  expected  to  be  another  year  of 
strong  production  with  guidance  of  340,000  -  370,000 
ounces at an all in sustaining cost of $985 - $1,055 per 
ounce.  

It is an exciting time for Regis as the Company embarks 
on its first underground mine at Rosemont. Subsequent 
to  the  end  of  the  year,  the  Regis  board  approved  the 
development  of  an  underground  mining  operation 
directly  below  the  Rosemont  open  pit.    Development 
work  commenced  in  the  September  2018  quarter,  with 
the  ordering  of  long  lead  items  and  an  underground 
mining  contract  tendering  process.    Commencement 
of  the  portal  development  in  the  southern  end  of  the 
Rosemont  Main  Pit  is  expected  by  March  2019  with 
processing beginning in the December 2019 quarter.

The  focus  on  defining  new  underground  resources  will 
now turn to Garden Well and the high grade shoots that 
have been identified below the pit in the southern part 
of the deposit.

During  the  year,  work  continued  on  progressing  the 
development of the McPhillamys project with a maiden 
Reserve  of  2.03  million  ounces  released  in  September 
2017.  Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company 
submitted a Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) 
to  the  NSW  Department  of  Planning  and  Environment 
(DPE).  The PEA is the trigger for the DPE to provide the 
Secretary’s  Environmental  Assessments  Requirements 

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTNone of these achievements would be possible 
without the relentless efforts and commitment 
of all Regis employees and contractors and  
I wish the Company every success in the future.

for  the project,  which  allow the Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) to be appropriately focussed to enable 
regulatory assessment of the project.  The development 
of the project represents an outstanding organic growth 
opportunity  for  Regis  and  we  look  forward  to  pushing 
ahead with the final elements of the EIS and the DFS. 

and  Pajingo  gold  mines.    He  has  both  the  technical 
and  corporate  experience  to  continue  the  disciplined 
management  of  our  current  projects  and  to  grow  the 
projects  and  Company  as  opportunities  arise.  I  have 
great confidence that under their stewardship Regis will 
continue to prosper and grow.

I believe it is a very exciting time for Regis as we move 
forward  under  the  new  leadership  team  to  be  led  by 
James  Mactier  as  incoming  Non-executive  Chairman 
and Jim Beyer as Managing Director.

James  Mactier  steps  into  the  role  of  Chairman  and 
brings  his  personal  values,  business  acumen  and 
strong  relationships  throughout  the  industry.    He  will 
continue  to  maintain  the  Company  culture  that  has 
lead  Regis  to  be  the  quality  company  it  is  today.    Jim 
is a high quality and proven mining executive. He was 
most  recently  the  CEO  of  Mount  Gibson  Iron  Limited 
and  previously  the  General  Manger  of  the  Boddington 

I  would 

Finally 
like  to  take  this  opportunity  to 
acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Regis 
team.  None  of  these  achievements  would  be  possible 
without  the  relentless  efforts  and  commitment  of 
all  Regis  employees  and  contractors  and  I  wish  the 
Company every success in the future.

Yours sincerely 

Mark Clark
Executive Chairman

Net cash from operating activities of $259.7 million was up 26% from the previous year. Robust operating cashflows 
from the project generated an increase in the Company’s cash and bullion holdings to $208.8 million, up $57.1 million

from the previous year after payment of $80.7 million in dividends and $33 million in exploration expenditure.

The Company paid a total of $80.7 million in fully franked dividends during the year and subsequent to the end of 
5
the financial year declared an 8 cents per share fully franked final dividend. The final dividend was declared after 
consideration of the strong cashflow and profitability from the Company’s Duketon operations in FY2018. The full year 
dividend of 8 cents per share coupled with the 8 cents per share interim dividend paid in March 2018, took the full 
0
year pay out to 16 cents per share. This represents a 13.4% payout of FY2018 revenue and 46% of net profit after tax. 
Since the commencement of dividend payments in 2013, the Company has paid a total of $326 million in fully franked 
dividends (65ps).

The Duketon Project produced record gold production for 2018, with 361,373 ounces of gold produced which was at 
the upper end of FY2018 guidance of 335,000-365,000 ounces. The project benefited from a full year of production 
of higher grade ore feed from the Gloster and Erlistoun satellite deposits. Milled grade across the Duketon Project 
increased  by  7%  to  1.19g/t  and  validated  the  strategy  of  pursuing  organic  growth  through  aggressive  regional 
exploration programmes across Duketon. All in sustaining costs were $901 per ounce which were towards the lower 
end of FY2018 cost guidance and reflected the excellent cost control at the operations.

Annual production for FY2018 at DNO was 106,928 ounces at a cash cost of $649 per ounce and an all in sustaining cost 
of $827 per ounce. Production at DNO increased by 6% from the previous year due to a full year of mining operations 
at the Gloster satellite deposit. Gloster ore is hauled approximately 26 kilometres by road train to the processing 
facility at Moolart Well where it is blended with ore from that operation. The ore from Gloster milled during 2018 was 
of a higher grade and softer, oxide material than the ore available from Moolart Well. As a result, the mill throughput 
increased by 10% from the prior year.

DSO produced 254,445 ounces of gold for the year, which was an increase of 14% on the prior year. Gold production 
increased due to a full 12 months of mining a higher grade and softer ore from the Erlistoun satellite deposit.  Head 
grade was 1.24g/t, an increase of 13% from the prior year.

Pre-production mining at the Tooheys Well satellite project commenced in January 2018 with first ore to be carted in 
October 2018 to the Garden Well processing plant, located approximately 2.5 kilometres away.

FY2019 GUIDANCE

Regis  is  expecting  another  strong  year  of  cashflow  and  has  forecasted  that  guidance  will  be  consistent  with  the 
2018 financial year. All-in sustaining costs will be higher than the prior year due to $40 million of growth capital for 
Tooheys Well and other satellite operations. Gold production and operating costs for FY2019 are expected to be in 
the following ranges:

  Gold production: 

340,000 – 370,000 ounces

  Cash costs, including royalties:  $880 – $950 per ounce

  All in Sustaining Cost: 

$985 – $1,055 per ounce

EXPLORATION

Regis controls a significant tenement package, 
encompassing 200 granted exploration, 
prospecting and mining licences

Duketon Gold Project

Regis  controls  a  significant  tenement  package,  encompassing  200  granted  exploration,  prospecting  and  mining 
licences covering 1,674 square kilometres and 42 miscellaneous licences at the Duketon Gold Project.  

Regis’ exploration effort in recent years has been successful in extending the reserve base of the Company and 
replacing annual production. The successful replenishment and extension of Reserves is reflective of the advantage 
the significant tenure position on prospective geology and the proximity to the 10Mtpa milling capacity provides 
at Duketon.

Significant exploration projects advanced during the year ended 30 June 2018 are outlined below.

Rosemont Underground 

The  Rosemont  Project  is  a  fully  operational  open  pit  gold  mine  (commenced  in  March  2013)  with  a  stand-alone 
crushing and grinding plant, piping an ore slurry to the Garden Well CIL processing facility.  The current open pit mine 
is expected to continue until at least FY2024.

The geology at Rosemont has gold hosted in a steeply dipping quartz-dolerite unit intruding into a mafic-ultramafic 
sequence. Gold mineralisation is within a brittle quartz-dolerite phase of the Rosemont Dolerite, primarily occurring 
within  discrete,  steeply  dipping,  quartz-dolerite  paralled,  en-echelon  and  stacked  vein  structures.  The  quartz-
dolerite varies from 5 metres, up to 100 metres wide.

RC  and  diamond  drilling  programmes  were  undertaken  during  the  year  aimed  at  increasing  data-density  and 
geological understanding in the two zones of this study. The drilling has helped to further define high grade gold 
mineralisation  in  two  distinct  zones  beneath  the  life  of  mine  open  pit  designs  to  a  sufficient  level  to  support  an 
underground mining operation.

Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company announced the approved development of an underground mining 
operation directly below the current Rosemont open pit as and part of an expansion of the existing operations.

The combined open pit and underground mine is scheduled to deliver 10.3 million tonnes of ore at 1.72g/t for 570,000 
ounces over a current five year mine life.  

The development timeline will be as follows:

  Commencement  of  Development  work,  including  long  lead  items  and  underground  mining  contract  tendering 

process – September 2018 quarter

  Commencement of portal work – March 2019 quarter

  Processing of first material – December 2019 quarter

Group Reserve Growth 

An aggressive exploration programme at the Duketon project continues to be focussed on high 

potential areas for Mineral Resource expansions with a view to delivering further extensions to 

the mine life of the current operations. The Company successfully added to the Group resource 

and reserve base when it released the annual resources and reserves update in July 2018. Group 

Ore Reserves increased by 86% from 2.18 million ounces to 4.06 million ounces, after accounting 

for mining depletion of 396,000 ounces. 

The change in the Group Ore Reserve from March 2017 to March 2018 is as follows:

Performance relative to the previous financial year

Regis achieved a record after tax profit of $174.2 million for the full year to 30 June 2018, which was up 26.1% from 
the previous corresponding year result of $138.2 million. Record gold production of 361,373 ounces for the year and 
the Company’s commitment to maximising operational efficiencies and controlling costs are the key drivers in the 
current year result.

Sales

The  Company  produced  361,373  ounces  of  gold  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2018.  Gold  sales  revenue  rose  by  11.5% 
from the previous year with 359,750 ounces of gold sold at an average price of $1,680 per ounce in 2018 (2017: 322,355 
ounces at $1,682 per ounce). The Company delivered gold produced into a combination of forward contracts and at 
the prevailing spot price. The total hedging position at the end of the year was 388,711 ounces of forward contracts 
with an average delivery price of $1,555 per ounce (2017: 396,406 ounces of forward contracts with a weighted average 
forward price of $1,551 per ounce). 

Cost of Sales

Costs  of  sales  including  royalties,  but  before  depreciation  and  amortisation  increased  marginally  by  0.3%  to  
$279.3 million. 

Depreciation and Amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation charges increased by 11.9% from the prior year as the Company’s assets mature and 
depreciation and amortisation rates based on the units of production method increase as reserves are depleted.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities was $259.7 million, up 26% on the prior year due to increased production. During 
the year, the Company paid $36.9 million of income taxes.

The Company continued to provide strong returns to shareholders through the payment of two fully franked dividends 
in 2018 totalling $80.7 million.

DNO produced 106,928 ounces of gold for the year at an all-in sustaining cost of $827 per ounce. Gold production 
was up 6% on the prior year as a result of increased throughput at the Moolart Well processing facility and higher 
grade ore from a full year of production from the Gloster satellite pit. Throughput was up 10% from last year due to 
processing softer ore from the Gloster deposit. 

In May 2018, mining commenced at the Anchor and Dogbolter satellite pits, with first ore expected to be trucked and 
hauled to the Moolart Well plant in mid 2019.

sustaining cost of $932 per ounce which was 8% lower than last year. Production is higher due to a full 12 months of 
mining of higher grade and softer ore from the Erlistoun gold deposit which contributed to a higher grade ore feed.

Pre-Strip mining commenced at the Tooheys Well satellite pit in January 2018, with first gold production expected to 
be in the December 2018 quarter.

Significant projects advanced during the year ended 30 June 2018 are outlined below.

All drilling results and resource estimations highlighted in this report are detailed fully in announcements to the ASX 
made by the Company throughout the year, along with the associated JORC 2012 disclosures.

Rosemont Underground

The Rosemont Project commenced in March 2013 and is a fully operational open pit gold mine with a stand-alone 
crushing and grinding plant, piping an ore slurry to the Garden Well CIL. The geology at Rosemont has gold hosted in 
a steeply dipping quartz-dolerite unit intruding into a mafic-ultramafic sequence. Gold mineralisation is associated 
with quartz-albite-carbonate-chlorite-sulphide alteration of the quartz dolerite unit which varies from 5 metres to 
greater than 100 metres wide.

In  March  2018,  the  Company  announced  a  maiden  Inferred  Underground  Mineral  Resource  Estimate  (MRE)  for  the 
Rosemont Underground project of 1.4 million tonnes at 5.10g/t Au for 230,000 ounces of gold.

Drilling completed at Rosemont during the year included RC drilling and diamond drilling programmes to further define 
high grade gold mineralisation and increase data-density and geological understanding. Both drill programmes were 
successful in defining high grade gold mineralisation in two distinct zones beneath the life of mine open pit designs 
to support an underground MRE. 

Further drilling is continuing with a focus on defining new high grade shoots in the central zone with RC drilling and 
extending the existing resources at depth below the current underground (U/G) domains with deeper diamond drilling.

Subsequent to the end of the year, the Regis board approved the development of an U/G mining operation directly 
below the Rosemont open pit. Development work will commence in the September 2018 quarter, with the ordering of 
long lead items and an underground mining contract tendering process. Commencement of the portal development 
in the southern end of the Rosemont Main Pit is expected by March 2019 with processing beginning in the December 
2019 quarter.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)Garden Well Underground

A  review  of  the  historic  drilling  below  the  final  pit  design  at  Garden  Well  indicated  the  potential  for  a  significant 
underground  target  below  the  southern  end  of  the  open  pit  project.  During  the  year,  RC  and  diamond  drilling 
programmes  were  conducted  to  test  the  continuity  of  high  grade  gold  mineralisation  and  to  reduce  drill  spacing 
from  40m  x  40m  to  40m  x  20m.    Drilling  results  have  shown  significant  widths  and  grades  of  gold  mineralisation 
and  has  identified  several  high  grade  shoots  beneath  the  pit  and  further  to  the  south.  The  southern  high  grade 
shoot measures 4-10m width across strike and 200m north-south along strike.  The zone of mineralisation is located 
between 100-350m below surface and dips to the east and is open to the south.  Drilling will continue to define the 
extent of the southern high grade shoots along strike and down plunge.

25

Baneygo-Idaho Project

The Baneygo-Idaho Gold Project is located 15 kilometres south along strike of the Rosemont Gold Deposit and has a 
resource of 11 million tonnes at 0.96g/t AU for 340,380 ounces.  Gold mineralisation extends over a 2.5 kilometre strike 
and is hosted in quartz dolerite which has intruded a sequence of mafic-ultramafic-sedimentary units. 

A RC infill programme was undertaken during the year with the purpose being to convert inferred resources that may 
exist inside or below the current pit designs and to ensure drill coverage in gaps in the existing 2.5 kilometre strike 
with a view to adding further resources. Drilling to date has allowed the estimation of an Ore Reserve of 4 million 
tonnes at 1.22g/t Au for 158,000 ounces across four shallow oxide pits.

McPhillamys Gold Project NSW

The 100% Regis owned McPhillamys Gold Project is one of Australia’s larger undeveloped open pittable gold resources. 
The project is located approximately 250 kilometres west of Sydney in Central West NSW, a well-established mining 
district. In September 2017, Regis announced a maiden Ore Reserve of 60.1 million tonnes at 1.05g/t Au for 2.03 million 
ounces.

Pre-feasibility level studies show that the McPhillamys Gold Project is a robust, large scale open pit gold mine with 
a planned 7 million tonne per annum mining and processing operation producing an average of 192,000 ounces per 
annum over a ten year mine life.

Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company announced that a Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) has 
been submitted to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE).  The PEA represents the lead document in 
the development application phase and is the trigger for the DPE to provide the Secretary’s Environmental Assessments 
Requirements for the project, which will allow for the Environmental Impact Statement to be appropriately focussed 
to enable regulatory assessment of the project.

Contemporaneous with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement, the Company expects to complete 
the Definitive Feasibility Study by December 2018. 

Discovery Ridge Gold Deposit

Approximately 32 kilometres from the McPhillamys Gold Project is the 100% owned Discovery Ridge deposit, a shear 
hosted  gold  deposit  located  in  strongly  foliated,  fine  grained  metasediments  of  the  Ordovician  Coombing  and 
Adaminaby Formations. 

The deposit is located within the hinge zone of a tight, steep north plunging D2 fold on the contact of the Adaminaby 
Group with the Coombing Formation.  The deposit has a known strike length in the order of 200 metres and comprises 
a  well-defined  steeply  north  pitching  East  Lode  with  widths  of  around  50  metres  and  known  depths  of  up  to  500 
metres and a parallel but more diffuse West Lode of similar orientation.

A total of 5,167 metres of resource and diamond drilling was undertaken during the year which has confirmed the 
location and tenor of historical gold intercepts which will be included in an updated resource and maiden reserve 
estimation.  Further drilling is planned to test the northern down plunge extension of the eastern following up on a 
strong intersection.

Infill  resource  and  diamond  drilling  continues  with  a  Mineral  Resource  estimation  and  update  and  a  maiden  Ore 
Reserve is expected to be announced later in the year along with a pre-feasibility study.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The  Company  has  entered  into  an  Indemnity  Deed  with  each  of  the  directors  which  will  indemnify  them  against 
liabilities incurred to a third party (not being the Company or any related company) where the liability does not arise 
out of negligent conduct including a breach of good faith.  The Indemnity Deed will continue to apply for a period of 
10 years after a director ceases to hold office. The Company has entered into a Director’s Access and Insurance Deed 
with each of the directors pursuant to which a director can request access to copies of documents provided to the 
director whilst serving the Company for a period of 10 years after the director ceases to hold office.  There are certain 
restrictions on the directors’ entitlement to access under the deed.  In addition the Company will be obliged to use 
reasonable endeavours to obtain and maintain insurance for a former director similar to that which existed at the 
time the director ceased to hold office.

The Company has, during or since the end of the financial year, paid an insurance premium in respect of an insurance 
policy for the benefit of the directors, secretaries, executive officers and employees of the Company and any related 
bodies corporate as defined in the insurance policy.  The insurance grants indemnity against liabilities permitted 
to be indemnified by the Company under Section 199B of the Corporations Act 2001.  In accordance with commercial 
practice,  the  insurance  policy  prohibits  disclosure  of  the  terms  of  the  policy  including  the  nature  of  the  liability 
insured against and the amount of the premium.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTPRINCIPLES OF REMUNERATION 

The Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee is charged with formulating the Group’s remuneration policy, 
reviewing each director’s remuneration and reviewing the Executive Chairman’s remuneration recommendations for 
KMPs to ensure compliance with the Remuneration Policy and consistency across the Group. Recommendations of 
the Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee are put to the Board for approval.  

31

Remuneration levels for KMP are set to attract, retain and incentivise appropriately qualified and experienced directors 
and executives. We reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration appropriate to their position, responsibilities 
and  performance,  in  a  way  that  aligns  with  the  business  strategy.  For  the  2018  and  subsequent  financial  years,  the 
Company has implemented an Executive Remuneration Incentive Plan for executive directors and other KMPs which 
sets out the performance hurdles for both Short Term Incentives (“STI”) and Long Term Incentives (“LTI”).

The objectives and principles of the Company’s remuneration policy include:

  To  align  the  objectives  of  executive  directors  and  other  KMP’s  with  the  interests  of  shareholders  and  reflect 

Company strategy;

  To provide competitive rewards to attract, retain and incentivise high calibre executives; and

  For total remuneration to include a competitive fixed component and an “at risk” component based on performance 

hurdles and key performance indicators.

In FY18, the STI represented the annual component of the “at risk” reward opportunity which is payable in cash upon 
the  successful  achievement  of  work  related  financial  and  non-financial  key  performance  indicators  (“KPI”).  These 
KPI’s are chosen to represent the key drivers of short term success for the Company with reference to Regis’ long 
term strategy.

The  LTI  refers  to  the  “at  risk”  reward  opportunity  which  takes  the  form  of  performance  rights,  being  the  issue  of 
shares in Regis in the future, subject to meeting predetermined performance and vesting conditions.

Executive remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee with 
reference to the remuneration guiding principles and market movements.

The chart below provides a summary of the structure of executive remuneration in the 2018 financial year:

FIXED REMUNERATION

Base salary + superannuation + benefits

VARIABLE REMUNERATION

Performance rights

To  maximise  engagement  of  executives  and  align  with  the  long-term  interests  of  shareholders,  the  initial  grant 
of Performance rights in November 2016 had a two year performance/vesting period with a one year holding lock 
restricting trading on any shares issued under the plan. Subsequent grants of performance rights have a performance/
vesting period of three years.

ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION IN FY18

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (including any fringe benefits tax charges related to employee 
benefits),  as  well  as  employer  contributions  to  superannuation  funds.  The  Group  allows  KMP  to  salary  sacrifice 
superannuation for additional benefits (on a total cost basis).

Remuneration  levels  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Remuneration,  Nomination  and  Diversity  Committee  through 
a  process  that  considers  individual  and  overall  performance  of  the  Group.  In  addition,  external  consultants  may 
provide  analysis  and  advice  to  ensure  the  KMP’s  remuneration  is  competitive  in  the  market  place,  as  required.  In 
November  2017,  BDO  Remuneration  and  Reward  Pty  Ltd  reviewed  the  existing  remuneration  arrangements  of  the 
Company’s KMPs and made recommendations to the Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee.

Performance linked remuneration

Performance linked remuneration includes both STI and LTI and is designed to reward KMP for meeting or exceeding 
their KPIs.

Short Term Incentive

Under the STI plan, all executives have the opportunity to earn an annual incentive which is delivered in cash. The 
STI recognises and rewards annual performance. 

How is it paid?

Any STI award is paid in cash after the assessment of annual performance. 

How much can 
executives earn?

In FY18, the Executive Chairman and Executive Director had a maximum STI opportunity of 
45% and 40% respectively of fixed remuneration, and other executives had a maximum STI 
opportunity of 35% of fixed remuneration.

An  overarching  review  by  the  board  of  each  individual’s  performance  against  agreed 
performance  measures  and  a  review  of  quantitative  factors  around  the  Company’s 
performance and the macro economic environment will determine the achievable percentage 
(between 0%-100%) of the maximum potential STI available to be awarded, subject further 
to the level of achievement against detailed KPI’s listed below.

This maximum achievable STI percentage will automatically be 0% in a given financial year in 
the event of a workplace fatality at any of the Company’s operations in that year.

How is performance 
measured?

A combination of specific Company Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are chosen to reflect 
the core drivers of short term performance and also to provide a framework for delivering 
sustainable value to the Group and its shareholders.

The following KPIs were chosen for the 2018 financial year:

  KPI 1: EBITDA relative to internal targets (35%(i));
  KPI 2: Production relative to stated guidance (35%(i)); and
  KPI 3: Safety and environmental performance targets (30%(i)).

When is it paid?

What happens if 
executive leaves?

The  STI  award  is  determined  after  the  end  of  the  financial  year  following  a  review  of 
performance  over  the  year  against  the  STI  performance  measures  by  the  Remuneration, 
Nomination and Diversity Committee. The Board approves the final STI award based on this 
assessment of performance and the award is paid in cash three months after the end of the 
performance period. 

If an executive resigns or is terminated for cause before the end of the financial year, no STI is 
awarded for that year. If an executive ceases employment during the performance period by 
reason of redundancy, ill health, death, or other circumstances approved by the Board, the 
executive will be entitled to a pro-rata cash payment based on assessment of performance 
up to the date of ceasing employment for that year (subject to Board discretion).

What happens if 
there is a change of 
control?

In  the  event  of  a  change  of  control,  a  pro-rata  cash  payment  will  be  made  based  on 
assessment  of  performance  up  to  the  date  of  the  change  of  control  (subject  to  Board 
discretion).

(i)   Represents the maximum award if stretch targets are met.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORT 
Long Term Incentives

34

Under  the  LTI  plan,  annual  grants  of  performance  rights  are  made  to  executives  to  align  remuneration  with  the 
creation of shareholder value over the long-term.

How is it paid?

Executives are eligible to receive performance rights (being the issue of shares in Regis in 
the future).

How much can 
executives earn?

In FY18, the Executive Chairman and Executive Director had a maximum LTI opportunity of 
90% and 75% respectively of fixed remuneration, and other executives had a maximum LTI 
opportunity of 65% of fixed remuneration.

An  overarching  review  by  the  board  of  each  individual’s  performance  against  agreed 
performance  measures  and  a  review  of  quantitative  factors  around  the  Company’s 
performance and the macro economic environment will determine the achievable percentage 
(between 0%-100%) of the maximum potential LTI available to be awarded, subject further to 
the level of achievement against detailed KPI’s listed below.

This maximum achievable LTI percentage will automatically be 0% in a given financial year in 
the event of a workplace fatality at any of the Company’s operations in that year.

How is performance 
measured?

The  vesting  of  performance  rights  are  subject  to  a  number  of  vesting  conditions.  The 
performance rights issued in FY18 are subject to the following vesting conditions:  

When is 
performance 
measured?

What happens if 
executive leaves?

  Relative Total Shareholder Return (25%(i)) measured on a sliding scale against a select 
peer group of comparator companies. (ASX code: AQG, BDR, DRM, EVN, KRM, MML, MOY, 
NCM, NST, OGC, PRU, RMS, RSG, SAR, SBM, SLR, TGZ, TRY);

  Absolute Total Shareholder Return (25%(i));

  Absolute earnings per share (“EPS”) (25%(i)) measured against a pre-determined target(ii) 

set by the board (as an average across two 12 month periods); and

  Reserve growth and production replacement over the three year vesting period (25%(i))

The performance rights issued in FY17 have a two year performance period with the vesting 
of the rights tested as at 30 June 2018. All subsequent issues of performance rights have 
a three year performance period. Any performance rights that do not vest will lapse after 
testing. There is no re-testing of performance rights.

Where an executive ceases to be an employee of any Group Company:

  due to resignation or termination for cause, then any unvested rights will automatically 

lapse on the date of the cessation of employment; or

  due to any other reason, then a proportion of any unvested rights will lapse equivalent 
to  the  proportion  of  time  remaining  in  the  period  during  which  the  relevant  vesting 
conditions  must  be  satisfied  and  the  remaining  unvested  rights  will  continue  and  are 
still capable of vesting in accordance with the relevant vesting conditions at the end of 
that period, unless the Board determines otherwise.

What happens if 
there is a change of 
control?

If a matter, event, circumstance or transaction occurs that the Board reasonably believes 
may lead to a change of control, the Board may in its discretion determine the treatment 
and  timing  of  such  treatment  of  any  unvested  rights  and  must  notify  the  holder  of  any 
changes  to  the  terms  of  the  rights  as  a  result  of  such  a  decision.  If  a  change  of  control 
occurs  and  the  Board  hasn’t  made  such  a  decision,  all  unvested  rights  will  vest  and  be 
automatically exercised.

Are executives 
eligible for 
dividends?

Executives are not eligible to receive dividends on unvested performance rights.

(i)  Represents the maximum award if stretch targets are met.

(ii)  Targets and actual outcomes for each of the STI and LTI performance measures will be disclosed in the relevant remuneration report in the year 

the award may vest. This is to recognise commercial sensitivity of disclosing key organisational metrics.

Performance against LTI measures

LTI awards granted in FY18 will be subject to testing at the end of the three year performance period on 30 June 2021. 
In November 2017, after receiving approval from shareholders at the AGM, 430,440 performance rights were granted 
in total to the Executive Directors, Mr Mark Clark and Mr Paul Thomas, and to other executives, Mr Kim Massey and 
Mr Peter Woodman, under the Group’s Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Mr Woodman resigned from his position as 
Chief Geologist Officer 29 March 2018 and forfeited LTI rewards. Further details of the grant, including performance 
conditions and the calculation of fair value is disclosed in the Note 23 to the financial statements. 

LTI  awards  granted  and  approved  by  shareholders  in  November  2016  were  tested  at  the  end  of  the  two  year 
performance period on 30 June 2018. The Board resolved to vest 100% of the performance rights granted in November 
2016,  and  further  instructed  that  the  shares  be  issued  following  the  release  of  the  2018  financial  report.  Further 
details of the grant, including performance conditions and the calculation of fair value is disclosed in Note 23 to the 
financial statements. 

A  number  of  performance  conditions  determined  the  vesting  of  the  performance  rights.  The  outcomes  of  these 
performance conditions as tested for the two year performance period ending on 30 June 2018 were as follows:

The  Company  aims  to  align  its  executive  remuneration  to  its  strategic  and  business  objectives  and  the  creation 
of  shareholder  wealth.  The  table  below  shows  measures  of  the  Group’s  financial  performance  over  the  past  five 
years  as  required  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  However  these  measures  are  not  necessarily  consistent  with  the 
measures used in determining the variable amounts of remuneration to be awarded to KMPs, as discussed above. As 
a consequence, there may not always be a direct correlation between the statutory key performance measures and 
the variable remuneration awarded.

PERFORMANCE AND EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS IN FY19

Following a review by the Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee and after feedback from shareholders 
and external advisors, the Board resolved to change the structure of the STI awards for the 2019 and subsequent 
financial years. The STI awarded will now be payable with 50% in cash, payable 3 months after the end of the financial 
year and 50% in performance rights which vest 12 months after the end of the financial year. Disqualifying events will 
apply to the performance rights prior to vesting, including non-performance, a workplace fatality or material one-off 
write downs and at the discretion of the Board. Subsequent to the end of the 2018 financial year, the Board resolved 
to set STI and LTI hurdles as follows for the 2019 financial year:

COMPONENT

LINKS TO FY2019 PERFORMANCE

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR)

Salaries awarded effective 1 July 2018 used as basis for determining the value 
component for FY2019 STI and LTI.  

The maximum STI opportunity that each KMP can earn are:

  Executive Chairman 

70%

  Chief Operating Officer 65%

  Other executives 

60%

Short Term Incentives (STI)

The following KPIs were chosen for the 2019 financial year:

  KPI 1: EBITDA relative to budget (20%(i));

  KPI 2: Production relative to stated guidance (20%(i)); 

  KPI 3: Safety and environmental performance measures (20%(i));

  KPI 4: McPhillamys Project targets as determined by the Board (20%); and

  KPI 5: Rosemount underground targets as determined by the Board (20%).

Long Term Incentives (LTI)

The performance rights issued in 2019 are subject to the following vesting 
conditions:  

  Relative Total Shareholder Return (20%(i)) measured on a sliding scale against 
a select peer group of comparator companies (ASX code: DCN, EVN, NCM, NST, 
OGC, PRU, RSG, SAR, SBM,WGX). 

  Absolute Total Shareholder Return (20%(i));

  Absolute Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) (15%(i)) measured against a pre-determined 

target(ii) set by the Board (as an average across three 12 month periods); 

  Reserve growth in excess of depletion over the three-year vesting period (15%(i)); 

  McPhillamys Project targets as determined by the Board (15%); and 

  Rosemount underground targets as determined by the Board (15%).

(i)  Represents the maximum award if stretch targets are met.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTSERVICE CONTRACTS 

38

The  Group  has  entered  into  service  contracts  with  each  KMP.  The  service  contract  outlines  the  components  of 
remuneration paid to each key management person but does not prescribe how remuneration levels are modified 
year to year. Remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account cost-of-living changes, any change in 
the scope of the role performed by the key management person and any changes required to meet the principles of 
the remuneration policy. No service contract specifies a term of employment or entitlement to performance based 
incentives, except as detailed below for the Executive Chairman.

Mr  Mark  Clark,  the  Company’s  Executive  Chairman,  is  employed  under  a  fixed  term  contract,  with  the  following 
significant terms:

  A term of three years commencing 4 May 2018;

  Fixed remuneration of $821,250 per annum inclusive of superannuation (2017: $766,500) subject to annual review; 

and

  Opportunity to earn a performance based STI and LTI determined by the Board.

Each key management person, except as specified below, is subject to a notice period of 1 month which the Company 
may pay in part or full of the required notice period. The key management personnel are also entitled to receive, 
on termination of employment, statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, and any accrued 
superannuation contributions would be paid to their fund. In the case of a genuine redundancy, executives would 
receive their statutory entitlements based on completed years of service.

The Executive Chairman’s termination provisions are as follows:

REGIS RESOURCES  //  REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS 

Total remuneration for all non-executive directors, last voted upon by shareholders at the 2017 AGM, is not to exceed 
$700,000  per  annum.  At  the  date  of  this  report,  total  non-executive  directors’  base  fees  are  $362,000  per  annum 
excluding superannuation. Non-executive directors’ fees cover all main board activities and membership of board 
committees. Non-executive directors do not receive performance-related compensation and are not provided with 
any  retirement  benefits,  apart  from  statutory  superannuation.  From  time  to  time,  non-executive  directors  may 
provide additional services to the Company and in these cases they are paid fees in line with industry rates. 

39

The Board has resolved to increase non-executive director fees for 2019. The increase will include both base fees and 
chair fees and are within the agreed pool for non-executive directors fees.

Table 3: Voluntary information – Non-IFRS – Remuneration received by executives for the 
year ended 30 June 2018

41

The amounts disclosed below as executive KMP remuneration for 2018 reflect the realised benefits received by each 
KMP during the reporting period. The remuneration values disclosed below have been determined as follows:

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration includes base salaries received, payments made to superannuation funds, the taxable value of 
non-monetary benefits received and any once-off payments such as sign-on bonuses or termination benefits, see 
Table 1 above for details. Fixed remuneration excludes any accruals of annual or long service leave.

Short-term incentives

The cash STI benefits represent the bonuses that were awarded to each KMP in relation to the prior financial year and 
which were paid in the current financial year. 

Long-term incentives

The value of vested options was determined based on the intrinsic value of the options at the date of vesting, being 
the  difference  between  the  share  price  on  that  date  and  the  exercise  price  payable  by  the  KMP.  The  options  that 
vested during the current year were granted in August 2015 (Mr Thomas and Mr Massey), November 2015 (M Clark) 
and January 2016 (Mr Woodman). The performance rights that vested during the year were granted in November 2016.

(i)  Mr Woodman resigned as Chief Geological Officer on 29 March 2018.

(ii)  Mr  Ertzen  was  appointed  as  Executive  General  Manager  -  Growth  on  1  April  2018.  The  remuneration  presented  above  is  only  for  the  period 

subsequent to this appointment.

The amounts disclosed above are not the same as the remuneration expensed in relation to each KMP in accordance 
with the accounting standards ($4,844,800 for 2018, see Table 1 above). The directors believe that the remuneration 
received is more relevant to users for the following reasons:

  The statutory remuneration expensed is based on fair value determined at grant date and does not reflect the 

fair value of the equity instruments when they are actually received by the KMPs.

  The statutory remuneration shows benefits before they are actually received by the KMPs.

  Where options or performance rights do not vest because a market-based performance condition is not satisfied 
(e.g. absolute TSR), the Company must still recognise the full amount of expenses even though the KMPs will never 
receive any benefits.

  Share-based payment awards are treated differently under the accounting standards depending on whether the 
performance  conditions  are  market  conditions  (no  reversal  of  expense)  or  non-market  conditions  (reversal  of 
expense where shares fail to vest), even though the benefit received by the KMP is the same (nil where equity 
instruments fail to vest).

The accuracy of information in this section has been audited together with the rest of the remuneration report.

(i)  Mr Woodman resigned as Chief Geological Officer on 29 March 2018 and forfeited the right to the unvested performance rights held at that date.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)In relation to the performance rights granted in November 2016, the two year performance period during which the 
performance rights were tested ended on 30 June 2018 with the testing occurring within 60 days after that date. Any 
performance rights which did not vest lapsed after testing. There is no re-testing of performance rights. In relation 
to the performance rights granted in November 2017, there is a three year performance period which ends on 30 June 
2020.

43

In  addition  to  a  continuing  employment  service  condition,  vesting  of  the  performance  rights  is  conditional  upon 
the Group achieving certain performance hurdles. Details of the performance criteria are included in the long-term 
incentives discussion on page 34.

The value of rights granted during the year is the fair value of the rights calculated at grant date. The total value of 
the rights granted is included in the table above. This amount is allocated to remuneration over the vesting period 
(i.e. in years 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020). No performance rights were exercised during the year.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

54

Regis  Resources  Limited  (“Regis”  or  the  “Company”)  is  a  for  profit  company  limited  by  shares,  incorporated  and 
domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. Its registered office 
and principal place of business is:

Regis Resources Limited
Level 2 
516 Hay Street
Subiaco  WA  6008

A  description  of  the  nature  of  operations  and  principal  activities  of  Regis  and  its  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the 
“Group”) is included in the Directors’ Report, which is not part of these financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 27 August 2018.

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which:

  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  and  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (AASB)  and 
complies  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting 
Standards Board (IASB);

  has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities and share-based payments which 
are required to be measured at fair value. The basis of measurement is discussed further in the individual notes;

  is presented in Australian dollars with all values rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise 

stated, in accordance with ASIC Instrument 2016/191;

  presents reclassified comparative information where required for consistency with the current year’s presentation;

  adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to 
the operations of the Group and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016. Refer to note 30 
for further details;

  does not early adopt Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet 

effective. Refer to note 30 for further details.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group. A list of controlled entities 
(subsidiaries) at year end is contained in note 24. 

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using 
consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may 
exist.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses 
and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated. Subsidiaries are consolidated 
from the date on which control is obtained to the date on which control is disposed. The acquisition of subsidiaries 
is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

Foreign currencies

Both  the  functional  currency  of  each  entity  within  the  Group  and  the  Group’s  presentation  currency  is 
Australian dollars. 

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Australian dollars at the exchange rate on that day. Foreign 
currency  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  are  translated  to  Australian  dollars  at  the  reporting  date  exchange  rate. 
Foreign currency gains and losses are generally recognised in profit or loss. 

Other accounting policies

Significant  and  other  accounting  policies  that  summarise  the  measurement  basis  used  and  are  relevant  to  an 
understanding  of  the  financial  statements  are  provided  throughout  the  notes  to  the  financial  statements.  Where 
possible, wording has been simplified to provide clearer commentary on the financial report of the Group. Accounting 
policies determined non-significant are not included in the financial statements. There have been no changes to the 
Group’s accounting policies that are no longer disclosed in the financial statements.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)Key estimates and judgements

In  the  process  of  applying  the  Group’s  accounting  policies,  management  has  made  a  number  of  judgements  and 
applied estimates of future events.  Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial report are found 
in the following notes.

The notes to the financial statements

The notes include information which is required to understand the financial statements and is material and relevant 
to the operations and the financial position and performance of the Group. Information is considered relevant and 
material if, for example:

  the amount is significant due to its size or nature;

  the amount is important for understanding the results of the Group;

  it helps to explain the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business; or

  it relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance.

The notes are organised into the following sections:

  Performance for the year;

  Operating assets and liabilities;

  Capital structure and risk;

  Other disclosures.

A brief explanation is included under each section.

PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR

This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group. This covers both profitability and the resultant 
return to shareholders via earnings per share combined with cash generation and the return of cash to shareholders 
via dividends.

1.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive 
Chairman and his executive management team (the chief operating decision makers). The Group has two reportable 
segments which comprise the Duketon Gold Project; being Duketon North Operations (“DNO”), currently comprising 
Moolart Well, Gloster, Anchor and Dogbolter and Duketon South Operations (“DSO”), currently incorporating Garden 
Well, Rosemont, Erlistoun and Tooheys Well.  The segments are unchanged from those reported at 30 June 2017. A 
number of new mining operations at satellite pits will commence in the next several years. In addition to current pits, 
DNO will include Petra as it will be processed through the Moolart Well processing plant. DSO will add Baneygo and 
the other satellite projects in that area to the Garden Well leaching circuit. 

Unallocated  items  comprise  corporate  administrative  costs  (including  personnel  costs,  share  based  payments, 
occupancy costs and investor and corporate costs), interest revenue, finance costs, net gains and losses on derivatives, 
exploration and evaluation assets relating to areas of interest where an economically recoverable reserve is yet to 
be delineated, cash, derivative assets and income tax assets.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTSegment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, 
conduct exploration and evaluation activities and develop mine properties.

2.  REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME

Accounting Policies

Gold sales

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, when the amount 
of  revenue  can  be  reliably  measured  and  it  is  probable  that  future  economic  benefits  will  flow  to  the  Group.  The 
specific recognition criteria for the Group’s gold sales is upon dispatch of the gold bullion from the mine site as this is 
the point at which the significant risks and rewards of ownership and control of the product passes to the customer. 
Adjustments are made for variations in gold price, assay and weight between the time of dispatch and the time of 
final settlement.

Gold forward contracts

As part of the risk management policy of the Group and in compliance with the conditions required by the Group’s 
financier, the Group enters into gold forward contracts to manage the gold price of a proportion of anticipated gold 
sales. The counterparty to the gold forward contracts is Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”). 

It is management’s intention to settle each contract through physical delivery of gold and as such, the gold forward 
sale  contracts  disclosed  below  do  not  meet  the  criteria  of  financial  instruments  for  accounting  purposes.  This 
is  referred  to  as  the  “normal  purchase/sale”  exemption.  Accordingly,  the  contracts  will  be  accounted  for  as  sale 
contracts with revenue recognised once the gold has been delivered to MBL or its agent.

Open contracts at balance date are summarised in the table below:

negative amount reflects a valuation in the counterparty’s favour.

(ii)  The contracted gold sale price disclosed for spot deferred contracts reflects a weighted average of a range of contract prices. The range of prices 

at the end of the year was from $1,416/oz to $1,821/oz (2017: $1,408/oz to $1,810/oz).

The net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss relates to sold gold call options that do not 
qualify for hedge accounting. During the current financial year, the Group sold gold call options for 20,000 ounces 
with  a  weighted  average  exercise  price  of  $1,684/oz  (2017:  35,000  ounces  at  A$1,716/oz).    Offsetting  the  premium 
income  received  during  the  current  year  is  the  fair  value  of  open  contracts  at  balance  date,  recognised  on  the 
balances sheet as “derivative liabilities”.

Depreciation 

Depreciation  of  mine  specific  plant  and  equipment  and  buildings  and  infrastructure  is  charged  to  the  statement 
of  comprehensive  income  on  a  unit-of-production  basis  over  the  economically  recoverable  reserves  of  the  mine 
concerned,  except  in  the  case  of  assets  whose  useful  life  is  shorter  than  the  life  of  the  mine,  in  which  case  the 
straight-line method is used. The unit of account is tonnes of ore milled.

Depreciation of non-mine specific plant and equipment is charged to the statement of comprehensive income and 
exploration and evaluation assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of 
plant and equipment in current and comparative periods as follows:

  Plant and equipment:    

3 - 20 years

  Fixtures and fittings:  

3 - 20 years

  Leasehold improvements: 

10 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

Amortisation

Mine properties are amortised on a unit-of-production basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the mine 
concerned. The unit of account is tonnes of ore milled.

The  Group  uses  the  unit-of-production  basis  when  depreciating/amortising  life  of  mine  specific  assets  which 
results in a depreciation/amortisation charge proportionate to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life of 
mine production. Each item’s economic life, which is assessed annually, has due regard for both its physical life 
limitations and to present assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the mine property at which it is 
located.

60

Accounting Policy

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share. The Group presents basic and 
diluted EPS data for ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted  EPS  takes  into  account  the  dilutive  effect  of  all  potential  ordinary  shares,  being  unlisted  employee  share 
options and performance rights on issue.

7.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Accounting Policy

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an 
original maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to 
insignificant changes in value. Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-
term deposits are made for varying periods of between one and three months, depending on the immediate cash 
requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

At 30 June 2018, the Group had no undrawn, committed borrowing facilities available (2017: nil).  Refer to note 18.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORT8.  GOLD BULLION AWAITING SETTLEMENT

64

Accounting Policy

Bullion awaiting settlement comprises gold that has been received by the refiner prior to period end but which has 
not yet been delivered into a sale contract. Bullion awaiting settlement is initially recognised at the expected selling 
price and adjustments for variations in the gold price are made at the time of final settlement.

Due to the short-term nature of the bullion awaiting settlement, the carrying value is assumed to approximate fair 
value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value.

At balance date, gold bullion awaiting settlement comprised 12,447 ounces valued at a weighted average realisable 
value of $1,700/oz (2017: 15,487 ounces at $1,610/oz).

9.  RECEIVABLES

Accounting Policy

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at the amounts considered receivable (financial 
assets  at  amortised  cost).  Balances  within  receivables  do  not  contain  impaired  assets,  are  not  past  due  and  are 
expected to be received when due.

The Group does not have trade receivables in relation to gold sales. The only material receivables at year end are 
for GST and fuel tax credits receivable from the Australian Taxation Office and therefore, the Group is not generally 
exposed to credit risk in relation to its receivables.

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate fair value.

Accounting Policy

65

Gold bullion, gold in circuit and ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost 
and net realisable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method and comprises direct purchase costs 
and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead costs, including depreciation and amortisation, incurred in 
converting ore into gold bullion. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, 
less estimated costs of completion and costs of selling the final product, including royalties.

Consumable stores are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of consumable stores is measured 
on a first-in first-out basis.

Inventories expected to be sold (or consumed in the case of stores) within 12 months after the balance sheet date 
are classified as current assets, all other inventories are classified as non-current.

At 30 June 2017, all inventories were carried at cost, except for a portion of ore stockpiles that were reclassified as 
non-current as a result of the annual update of life of mine plans and written down to net realisable value resulting 
in an expense totalling $1,440,000 being recognised in cost of goods sold. 

At 30 June 2018, there was no expense recognised in costs of goods sold for inventories carried at net realisable value.

KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Inventories

Net realisable value tests are performed at each reporting date and represent the estimated future sales price 
of the product based on prevailing spot metals process at the reporting date, less estimated costs to complete 
production and bring the product to sale.

Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, the number 
of contained gold ounces based on assay data, and the estimated recovery percentage. Stockpile tonnages are 
verified by periodic surveys.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORT11.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

66

Accounting Policy

The value of property, plant and equipment is measured as the cost of the asset, less accumulated depreciation and 
impairment. The cost of the asset also includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation, the cost 
of major inspections and an initial estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item from site at the end of 
its useful life (rehabilitation provisions). Changes in the rehabilitation provisions resulting from changes in the size 
or timing of the cost or from changes in the discount rate are also recognised as part of the asset cost.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised when it is sold or otherwise disposed of, or when its use 
is  expected  to  bring  no  further  economic  benefits.  Any  gain  or  loss  from  derecognising  the  asset  (the  difference 
between the proceeds on disposal and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the 
period the item is derecognised.

Accounting Policy

67

Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  accumulated  on  an  area  of  interest  basis.  Exploration  and  evaluation 
assets include the costs of acquiring licences, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair 
value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Expenditure is 
carried forward when incurred in areas for which the Group has rights of tenure and where economic mineralisation 
is  indicated,  but  activities  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence 
or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable  reserves  and  active  and  significant  operations  in,  or  in  relation  to,  the 
area of interest are continuing. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are 
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are 
demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment 
and then reclassified to mine properties under development. No amortisation is charged during the exploration and 
evaluation phase.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon a number of 
factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully 
recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological 
changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental 
restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the 
future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which the determination is made.

Exploration expenditure commitments

Exploration  expenditure  commitments  represent  tenement  rentals  and  expenditure  requirements  that  may  be 
required to be met under the relevant legislation should the Group wish to retain tenure on all current tenements in 
which the Group has an interest.

The  terms  and  conditions  under  which  the  Group  retains  title  to  its  various  mining  tenements  oblige  it  to  meet 
tenement rentals and minimum levels of exploration expenditure as gazetted by the Western Australian and New 
South Wales state governments, as well as local government rates and taxes.

The exploration commitments of the Group not provided for in the consolidated financial statements and payable 
are as follows:

The tenement commitments shown above represent the minimum required to be spent on all granted tenements as

reductions and relinquishment of tenements not considered prospective, in whole or in part.

Tenement  commitments  are  shown  gross  of  exemptions  that  are  likely  to  be  available  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business as the financial impact of potential exemptions cannot be measured reliably in advance.

Accounting Policy

69

Mine  properties  under  development  represents  the  costs  incurred  in  preparing  mines  for  production  and  includes 
plant  and  equipment  under  construction  and  operating  costs  incurred  before  production  commences.  These  costs 
are  capitalised  to  the  extent  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  the  successful  exploitation  of  the  related 
mining leases. Once production commences, these costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and mine 
properties,  as  relevant,  and  are  depreciated  and  amortised  using  the  units-of-production  method  based  on  the 
estimated economically recoverable reserves to which they relate or are written off if the mine property is abandoned.

Accounting Policies

Production stripping costs

Once  access  to  the  ore  is  attained,  all  waste  that  is  removed  from  that  point  forward  is  considered  production 
stripping activity. The amount of production stripping costs deferred is based on the extent to which the current 
period cost per tonne of ore mined exceeds the expected cost per tonne for the life of the identified component. A 
component is defined as a specific volume of the ore body that is made more accessible by the stripping activity, and 
is identified based on the mine plan. 

The production stripping asset is initially measured at cost, which is the accumulation of costs directly incurred to 
perform  the  stripping  activity  that  improves  access  to  the  identified  component  of  the  ore  body.  The  production 
stripping asset is then carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

The production stripping asset is amortised over the expected useful life of the identified component (determined 
based  on  economically  recoverable  reserves),  on  a  unit  of  production  basis.  The  unit  of  account  is  tonnes  of  ore 
mined. 

Pre-strip costs

In  open  pit  mining  operations,  it  is  necessary  to  remove  overburden  and  waste  materials  to  access  the  ore.  This 
process is referred to as stripping and the Group capitalises stripping costs incurred during the development of a 
mine (or pit) as part of the investment in constructing the mine (“pre-strip”).  These costs are subsequently amortised 
over the life of mine on a units of production basis, where the unit of account is tonnes of ore milled.

Other mine properties

Other  mine  properties  represent  expenditure  in  respect  of  exploration,  evaluation,  feasibility  and  pre-production 
operating  costs  incurred  by  the  Group  previously  accumulated  and  carried  forward  in  mine  properties  under 
development in relation to areas of interest in which mining has now commenced. Other mine properties are stated 
at cost, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Other mine properties are amortised on a unit-of-production basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the 
mine concerned. The unit of account is tonnes of ore milled.

The Group capitalises mining costs incurred during the production stage of its operations in accordance with the 
accounting policy described above. The identification of specific components will vary between mines as a result 
of  both  the  geological  characteristics  and  location  of  the  ore  body.  The  financial  considerations  of  the  mining 
operations may also impact the identification and designation of a component. 

The expected cost per tonne is a function of an individual mine’s design and therefore changes to that design will 
generally result in changes to the expected cost. Changes in other technical or economic parameters that impact 
reserves will also have an impact on the expected costs per tonne for each identified component. Changes in the 
expected cost per tonne are accounted for prospectively from the date of change.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)15.  IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Accounting policy

71

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where 
an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying 
amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount  the  asset  is  considered  impaired  and  is  written  down  to  its 
recoverable amount. 

The  recoverable  amount  of  other  assets  is  the  greater  of  their  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.  In 
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an 
asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment losses are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there 
has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to 
the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, 
net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Total impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the year were as follows:

An impairment loss of $353,000 (2017: $343,000) has been recognised in relation to tenements that were surrendered, 
relinquished or expired during the year.  

For the year ended 30 June 2017, an impairment loss of $2,596,000 was recognised for the tenements relating to the 
Duketon Gold Exploration Joint Venture.  The Joint Venture required Regis to spend at least $1 million over a 2 year 
period to earn a 75% interest in any mining project that is confirmed by a Regis decision to mine. The 2 year term 
expired in October 2017 and no further expenditure was incurred for the year ended 30 June 2018.

KEY JUDGEMENTS

Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves

The  determination  of  mineral  resources  and  ore  reserves  impacts  the  accounting  for  asset  carrying  values.  The 
Group  estimates  its  mineral  resources  and  ore  reserves  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Code  for  Reporting 
of  Exploration  Results,  Mineral  Resources  and  Ore  Reserves  2012  (the  “JORC”  Code).  The  information  on  mineral 
resources and ore reserves was prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC 
Code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources and ore reserves determined under the JORC 
Code.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves, and assumptions that 
are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the 
economic status of reserves and may ultimately result in reserves being restated.

16.  TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

Accounting Policies

Trade payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at the value of the invoice received from a supplier and subsequently 
measured  at  amortised  cost.  They  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services  provided  to  the  Group  prior  to  the 
end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in 
respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and generally paid within 30 days 
of recognition.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTEmployee entitlements

72

A  liability  is  recognised  for  the  amount  expected  to  be  paid  to  an  employee  for  annual  leave  they  are  presently 
entitled  to  as  a  result  of  past  service.  The  liability  includes  allowances  for  on-costs  such  as  superannuation  and 
payroll taxes, as well as any future salary and wage increases that the employee may be reasonably entitled to.

Provisions  are  determined  by  discounting  the  expected  future  cash  flows  at  a  pre-tax  rate  that  reflects  current 
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount 
is recognised as a finance cost. Refer to note 18.

Site rehabilitation

In accordance with the Group’s published environmental policy and applicable legal requirements, a provision for 
site  rehabilitation  is  recognised  in  respect  of  the  estimated  cost  of  rehabilitation  and  restoration  of  the  areas 
disturbed by mining activities up to the reporting date, but not yet rehabilitated. 

When  the  liability  is  initially  recorded,  the  estimated  cost  is  capitalised  by  increasing  the  carrying  amount  of  the 
related mining assets. At each reporting date the site rehabilitation provision is re-measured to reflect any changes 
in discount rates and timing or amounts to be incurred. Additional disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs 
will  be  recognised  as  additions  or  changes  to  the  corresponding  asset  and  rehabilitation  provision,  prospectively 
from the date of change. For closed sites, or where the carrying value of the related asset has been reduced to nil 
either through depreciation and amortisation or impairment, changes to estimated costs are recognised immediately 
in the statement of comprehensive income.

Long service leave

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees 
have  earned  in  return  for  their  service  up  to  reporting  date,  plus  related  on  costs.  The  benefit  is  discounted  to 
determine its present value and the discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on high-quality corporate bonds 
that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations.

Nature and purpose of provision for rehabilitation
The nature of rehabilitation activities includes dismantling and removing structures, rehabilitating mines, dismantling 
operating  facilities,  closure  of  plant  and  waste  sites  and  restoration,  reclamation  and  re-vegetation  of  affected 
areas. Typically, the obligation arises when the asset is installed at the production location. 

KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Rehabilitation obligations

The Group assesses site rehabilitation liabilities annually. The provision recognised is based on an assessment of the 
estimated cost of closure and reclamation of the areas using internal information concerning environmental issues in 
the exploration and previously mined areas, together with input from various environmental consultants, discounted 
to present value. Significant estimation is required in determining the provision for site rehabilitation as there are 
many  factors  that  may  affect  the  timing  and  ultimate  cost  to  rehabilitate  sites  where  mining  and/or  exploration 
activities have previously taken place. These factors include future development/exploration activity, changes in the 
cost of goods and services required for restoration activity and changes to the legal and regulatory framework. These 
factors may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK

This section outlines how the Group manages its capital, related financing costs and its exposure to various financial 
risks. It explains how these risks affect the Group’s financial position and performance and what the Group does to 
manage these risks.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that 
it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an efficient 
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The  Board’s  policy  in  relation  to  capital  management  is  to  regularly  and  consistently  monitor  future  cash  flows 
against expected expenditures for a rolling period of up to 12 months in advance. The Board determines the Group’s 
need  for  additional  funding  by  way  of  either  share  issues  or  loan  funds  depending  on  market  conditions  at  the 
time. The Board defines working capital in such circumstances as its excess liquid funds over liabilities, and defines 
capital as being the ordinary share capital of the Company, plus retained earnings, reserves and net debt. In order to 
maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Board may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return 
capital to shareholders, issue new shares or reduce debt.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Accounting Policies

Finance Leases – Group as a lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership for the 
lease item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present 
value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction 
of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance 
charges are recognised as an expense in profit or loss.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease 
term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s current and non-current borrowings approximate their fair value.

Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of  a  qualifying  asset  (i.e.  an 
asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalised as 
part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed as part of finance costs in the period incurred. 
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Unwinding of discount on provisions

The  unwinding  of  discount  on  provisions  represents  the  cost  associated  with  the  passage  of  time.  Rehabilitation 
provisions are recognised at the discounted value of the present obligation to restore, dismantle and rehabilitate 
each mine site with the increase in the provision due to the passage of time being recognised as a finance cost in 
accordance with the policy described in note 17. 

REGIS RESOURCES  //  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)19.  FINANCIAL ASSETS

Accounting Policy

75

Financial  assets  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  plus  transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  its 
acquisition and subsequently measured at amortised costs or fair value depending on the business model for those 
assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics. 

Equity instruments

Equity instruments are normally measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) unless the Group chooses, 
on an instrument-by-instrument basis on initial recognition, to present fair value changes in other comprehensive 
income (“FVOCI”). This option is irrevocable and only applies to equity instruments which are neither held for trading 
nor are contingent consideration in a business combination. Gains and losses on equity instruments measured at 
FVOCI are not recycled through profit and loss or disposal and there is no impairment accounting. All gains and losses 
are recorded in equity through other comprehensive income.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group holds financial instruments for the following purposes:

  Financing:  to  raise  finance  for  the  Group’s  operations  or,  in  the  case  of  short-term  deposits,  to  invest  surplus 

funds. The principal types of instruments used include bank loans, cash and short-term deposits.

  Operational: the Group’s activities generate financial instruments, including cash, receivables and trade payables.

  Risk management: to reduce risks arising from the financial instruments described above, including commodity 

swap contracts and gold call options.

It is, and has been throughout the year, the Group’s policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments shall 
be undertaken.

The Group’s holding of these financial instruments exposes it to the following risks:

  Credit risk

  Liquidity risk

  Market risk, including interest rate and commodity price risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks and its objectives, policies and 
processes for measuring and managing risk. These risks affect the fair value measurements applied by the Group. 
Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

The  Board  of  Directors  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  oversight  of  the  risk  management 
framework. The Audit and Risk Management Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring risk management 
policies. The committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate 
risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are 
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training 
and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in 
which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group’s Audit and Risk Management Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s 
risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation 
to the risks faced by the Group.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTCredit Risk

76

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if the counterparty to a financial asset fails to meet its contractual 
obligation. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and gold bullion awaiting settlement. The Group has 
adopted the policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from 
defaults. Cash holdings are with Macquarie Bank Limited, an Australian bank regulated by APRA and with a short term 
S&P rating of A-1. The Group has determined that it currently has no significant exposure to credit risk as at reporting 
date given banks have investment grade credit ratings.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s 
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet 
liabilities  when  due,  under  both  normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without  incurring  unacceptable  losses  or  risk 
damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group uses weekly and monthly cash forecasting to monitor cash flow requirements. Typically the Group ensures 
that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial 
obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such 
as natural disasters.

The following table analyses the Group’s financial liabilities, including net and gross settled financial instruments, 
into relevant maturity periods based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. 
The  amounts  disclosed  in  the  table  are  the  contractual  undiscounted  cash  flows  and  hence  will  not  necessarily 
reconcile with the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.

For derivative liabilities (sold gold call options), the amounts disclosed are the net amounts that would need to be 
paid if the option expired out of the money. Due to their short term nature, the amounts have been estimated using 
the gold spot price applicable at reporting date.

Assets pledged as security

The finance lease liabilities are secured by the related assets. Ownership of the assets remains with Komatsu until 
all contractual payments have been made.

Financial guarantee liabilities

As at 30 June 2018, the Group did not have any financial guarantee liabilities (2017: Nil).

REGIS RESOURCES  //  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)Market risk

Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  market  prices,  such  as  foreign  exchange  rates,  interest  rates,  commodity 
prices and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective 
of  market  risk  management  is  to  manage  and  control  market  risk  exposures  within  acceptable  parameters,  while 
optimising the return. 

77

  Foreign currency risk: The Group is occasionally exposed to foreign currency risk when long lead items are purchased 
in a currency other than Australian dollars. The Group maintains all of its cash in Australian dollars and does not 
currently hedge these purchases. There is no significant exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date.

  Interest rate risk: Since repayment of substantially all of the principal outstanding on the secured project loan 
facility with Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”) during the current year, the Group is only exposed to interest rate 
risk  through  its  cash  deposits,  which  attract  variable  interest  rates.  The  Group  regularly  reviews  its  current 
working capital requirements against cash balances and the returns available on short term deposits. There is no 
significant exposure to interest rate risk at reporting date.

  Commodity price risk: The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk is purely operational and arises largely from 
gold price fluctuations or in relation to the purchase of inventory with commodity price as a significant input, 
such as diesel. The Group’s exposure to movements in the gold price is managed through the use of gold forward 
contracts  (note  2)  and  sold  call  options  (note  20).  The  gold  forward  sale  contracts  do  not  meet  the  criteria  of 
financial instruments for accounting purposes on the basis that they meet the normal purchase/sale exemption 
because physical gold will be delivered into the contract. No sensitivity analysis is provided for these contracts 
as  they  are  outside  the  scope  of  AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  (2014).  The  sold  call  options  are  classified  as 
derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. 

The  Group  continued  a  medium  term  risk  management  strategy  during  the  prior  year  to  take  advantage  of 
historically low oil prices by entering into commodity swap transactions on gasoil to hedge exposure to movements 
in  the  Australian  dollar  price  of  diesel.  Regis  considers  the  gasoil  component  to  be  a  separately  identifiable  and 
measurable component of diesel. During the 2018 financial year this  hedge arrangement fixed a significant proportion 
(approximately two thirds) of the total estimated annual diesel usage at the Group’s Duketon operations.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The  Group  does  not  account  for  any  fixed  rate  financial  assets  and  liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss. 
Therefore, a change at reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A sensitivity analysis has not been disclosed in relation to the variable interest rate cash on deposit and secured 
bank loan as the results have been determined to be immaterial to the statement of comprehensive income for both 
the current and prior financial years. 

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTFair Values

78

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of all of the Group’s financial instruments recognised in the financial 
statements are materially the same. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial 
instruments are disclosed in the respective notes.

Valuation of financial instruments

For all fair value measurements and disclosures, the Group uses the following to categorise the method used:

  Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. 

  Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable 
for  the  asset  or  liability,  either  directly  (as  prices)  or  indirectly  (derived  from  prices).  The  Group’s  derivative 
liabilities (sold gold call options) and derivative assets (cash flow hedges) are classified as Level 2, as they were 
valued using valuation techniques that employ the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied 
valuation  techniques  include  forward  pricing  and  swap  models  using  present  value  calculations.  The  models 
incorporate  various  inputs  including  the  credit  quality  of  counterparties,  foreign  exchange  spot  and  forward 
rates, and spot and forward rate curves of the underlying commodity. The changes in counterparty credit risk 
had  no  material  effect  on  the  hedge  effectiveness  assessment  for  the  commodity  swaps  designated  in  hedge 
relationships and the sold gold call options recognised at fair value.

  Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market 

data. The Group does not have any financial assets or liabilities in this category.

For financial instruments that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers 
have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that 
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers 
between levels during the year.

21.  ISSUED CAPITAL AND RESERVES

Accounting Policy

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of shares or options are 
recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax effects.

OTHER DISCLOSURES

This section provides information on items which require disclosure to comply with Australian Accounting Standards 
and other regulatory pronouncements.

22. DEFERRED INCOME TAX

Accounting Policy

Deferred tax balances are determined using the balance sheet method, which provides for temporary differences at 
the balance sheet date between accounting carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, other than for the exemptions 
permitted under accounting standards. At 30 June 2018 there are no unrecognised temporary differences associated 
with the Group’s investment in subsidiaries (2017: $nil).

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences,  carry-forward  of  unused  tax 
assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise 
these deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to 
the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the temporary 
differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting 
date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the 
same taxation authority.

KEY JUDGEMENTS

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Judgement is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognised on the balance sheet. Deferred 
tax assets, including those arising from unutilised tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the 
Group will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilise recognised deferred tax assets. Estimates 
of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws 
in Australia. 

To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Group 
to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted. Additionally, future changes 
in tax laws in Australia could limit the ability of the Group to obtain tax deductions in future periods.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)Tax consolidation

The  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  resident  entities  became  part  of  a  tax-consolidated  group  on  14 
December 2006. As a consequence, all members of the tax-consolidation group are taxed as a single entity from that 
date. The head entity within the tax-consolidation group is Regis Resources Limited. 

81

The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, have entered into a tax funding 
arrangement  which  sets  out  the  funding  obligations  of  members  of  the  tax-consolidated  group  in  respect  of  tax 
amounts.  Any  current  tax  liabilities  (or  assets)  and  deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  unused  tax  losses  of  the 
subsidiaries are assumed by the head entity and are recognised by the Company as intercompany receivables (or 
payables). Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement and reflect 
the timing of the head entity’s obligation to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities.

The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which 
asset can be utilised.

Any  subsequent  period  adjustment  to  deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  unused  tax  losses  as  a  result  of  revised 
assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.

The head entity in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group has also entered into a tax sharing 
agreement.  The  tax  sharing  agreement  provides  for  the  determination  of  the  allocation  of  income  tax  liabilities 
between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised 
in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement 
is considered remote.

23. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Accounting Policy

The value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase 
in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options (the vesting period), 
ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the option (the vesting date). 

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income 
is the product of:

  The grant date fair value of the option;

  The current best estimate of the number of options that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood 
of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being 
met; and

  The expired portion of the vesting period.

Until an option has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest 
than were originally anticipated to do so.

82

The  Company  has  one  ESOP,  being  the  Regis  Resources  Limited  2014  Share  Option  Plan  (the  “Option  Plan”).  The 
objective of the Option Plan is to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of eligible persons of 
the Group. Under the Option Plan, the board or Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee may issue eligible 
employees  with  options  to  acquire  shares  in  the  future  at  an  exercise  price  fixed  by  the  board  or  Remuneration, 
Nomination and Diversity Committee on grant of the options.

The vesting of all options is subject to service conditions being met whereby the recipient must meet the eligible 
employee criteria as defined in the Option Plan.

granted. There were no new grants of employee options during the year ended 30 June 2017. The following table lists

which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Share-based payments

The  Group  is  required  to  use  key  assumptions,  such  as  volatility,  in  respect  of  the  fair  value  models  used  in 
determining  share-based  payments  to  employees  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  AASB  2  Share–based 
payment. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have 
no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact 
expenses and equity.

REGIS RESOURCES  //  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)30. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Changes in accounting policy

The Group has adopted the following new and revised accounting standards, amendments and interpretations as of 
1 July 2017:

  AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised 

Losses

  AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107

The adoption of these new and revised standards did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. 

89

New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

The  following  standards,  amendments  to  standards  and  interpretations  have  been  identified  as  those  which  may 
impact the entity in the period of initial application.  They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2018 but have 
not been applied in preparing this financial report. Except where noted, the Group has evaluated the impact of the 
new standards and interpretations listed below and determined that the changes are not likely to have a material 
impact on its financial statements.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB  15  replaces  all  existing  revenue  requirements  in  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASB  111  Construction 
Contracts,  AASB  118  Revenue,  AASB  Interpretation  13  Customer  Loyalty  Programmes,  AASB  Interpretation  15 
Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, AASB Interpretation 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and AASB 
Interpretation 131 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services) and applies to all revenue arising 
from contracts with customers, unless the contracts are in the scope of other standards, such as AASB 117 (or AASB 
16 Leases, once applied).

AASB 15 establishes a five step model to account for revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods 
or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in 
exchange for those goods or services.  Under AASB 15 the revenue recognition model will change from one based on 
the transfer of risk and reward of ownership to the transfer of control of ownership.

The Group has assessed the effects of applying the new standard and on the recognition of revenue recognised from 
gold sales. The Group have concluded that there is no material impact in the amount of revenue recognised from gold 
sales following the transition to AASB15. It is not expected that significant changes to disclosures will be required.

Application date of Standard:

1 January 2018*

Application date for Group:

1 July 2018

*Early application is permitted.

AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an 
Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments clarify that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transfer to an associate or joint venture involves 
a business as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of 
assets that does not constitute a business, however, is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests 
in the associate or joint venture.

AASB 2015-10 defers the mandatory effective date (application date) of AASB 2014-10 so that the amendments are 
required to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 instead of 1 January 2018.

Application date for Group: 1 July 2022

REGIS RESOURCES  //  2018 ANNUAL REPORTAASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-
based Payment Transactions

90

This  standard  amends  AASB  2  Share-based  Payment,  clarifying  how  to  account  for  certain  types  of  share-based 
payment transactions.  The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for:

  The effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments

  Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations

  A  modification  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  a  share-based  payment  that  changes  the  classification  of  the 

transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.

Application date of Standard:

1 January 2018

Application date for Group:

1 July 2018

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a similar way to finance 
leases under AASB 117 Leases.  The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ‘low-value’ 
assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less).  At the 
commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and 
an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset).

Lessees  will  be  required  to  separately  recognise  the  interest  expense  on  the  lease  liability  and  the  depreciation 
expense on the right-of-use asset.  

Lessees  will  be  required  to  remeasure  the  lease  liability  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  events  (e.g.,  a  change  in 
the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine 
those payments).  The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the re-measurement of the lease liability as an 
adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Lessor  accounting  is  substantially  unchanged  from  today’s  accounting  under  AASB  117.    Lessors  will  continue  to 
classify all leases using the same classification principle as in AASB 117 and distinguish between two types of leases: 
operating and finance leases.

The standard will primarily affect the accounting for the Group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the Group 
has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $2.6 million, see note 26. To date, work has focussed on the 
identification of the provisions of the standard which will most impact the Group. In the year ended 30 June 2019, work 
on the issues and their resolution will continue including a detailed review of contracts, in particular, the Company’s 
mining services and haulage contracts and their financial reporting impacts.

Some  of  these  commitments  may  be  covered  by  the  exception  for  short-term  and  low-value  leases  and  some 
commitments may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases under AASB 16. Given the Group’s current 
level of exposure, the impact of adoption of AASB 16 on the financial statements is not expected to be material.

Application date of Standard:

1 January 2019

Application date for Group:

1 July 2019

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Interpretation clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement criteria in IAS 12 Income Taxes when 
there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.  The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:

  Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately.

  The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatment by taxation authorities.

  How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.

  How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the shareholders of Regis Resources Limited 

Report on the audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the Financial Report of Regis 
Resources Limited.  

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial 
Report of Regis Resources Limited is in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including  

•  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s 

financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of 
its financial performance for the year ended 
on that date; and 

• 

complying with Australian Accounting 
Standards and the Corporations Regulations 
2001. 

Basis for opinion 

The Financial Report comprises the: 

•  Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2018 

•  Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive 

Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in 
Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash 
Flows for the year then ended 

•  Notes including a summary of significant 

accounting policies 

•  Directors’ Declaration. 

The Group consists of Regis Resources Limited 
(the Company) and the entities it controlled at the 
year end and from time to time during the financial 
year.   

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the 
audit of the Financial Report section of our report.  

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the relevant 
ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code). We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 
accordance with the Code.  

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified are: 

•  Valuation and classification of low grade ore 

stockpiles 

•  Valuation of exploration and evaluation assets 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our 
professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the Financial Report of the current 
period. 

These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters. 

KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member firm of the KPMG

Valuation and classification of low grade ore stockpiles 
AU $45,986 thousand  

Refer to Note 10 to the financial report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Significant judgment is required to be exercised 
by management in assessing the value and 
classification of low grade ore stockpiles which 
will be used to produce gold bullion in the future. 
The valuation and classification of low grade ore 
stockpiles is a key audit matter because: 

•  Additional low grade stockpiles have been 
created from the continuation of mining 
activities; and 

•  Significant judgment is required by us in 

evaluating and challenging the Group’s 
assessment. 

The Group’s assessment is based on a model 
which estimates future revenue expected to be 
derived from gold contained in the low grade ore 
stockpiles, less selling costs and future 
processing costs to convert stockpiles into gold 
bullion. We placed particular focus on those 
judgments listed below which impact the 
valuation and classification of ore stockpiles: 

• 

• 

• 

Forecast processing costs of low grade ore 
stockpiles. 

Forecast quantity of gold contained within 
the low grade ore stockpiles.  

Future commodity prices expected to prevail 
when the gold from existing low grade ore 
stockpiles is processed and sold. 

•  Estimated timing of conversion of low grade 
ore stockpiles into gold bullion, which drives 
the classification of low grade ore stockpiles 
as current or non-current assets. 

For this key audit matter, our procedures included:  

• 

Testing the Group’s key controls around 
inventory reconciliations which utilise underlying 
data such as production and processing costs, 
geological survey reports, mill production 
reports and metallurgical survey reports. 

•  Assessing the methodology and key 

assumptions in the Group’s model used to 
determine the value of low grade ore stockpiles 
by: 

o  comparing forecast processing costs to 

previous actual costs, and for consistency 
with management’s latest life of mine plan  

o  comparing forecast quantity of gold 
contained within stockpiles to 
management’s geological survey results 
and historical trends 

o  comparing commodity prices to published 
external analysts’ data for prices expected 
to prevail in the future 

•  Critically evaluating the Group’s classification of 
low grade ore stockpiles as current/non-current 
by assessing the estimated timing of processing 
the stockpiles against the Group’s latest life of 
mine plan and the historical operating capacity 
of the Group’s processing plants.

Valuation of exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets  
AU $171,570 thousand  

Refer to Note 12 to the financial report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Our audit procedures included: 

•  We tested the Group’s compliance with 
minimum expenditure requirements for a 
sample of exploration licenses 

•  We obtained corporate budgets which we 

compared for consistency to areas of interest 
with capitalised E&E, for evidence of the ability 
to fund the continuation of activities 

•  We compared the documentation from the 

sources listed below for information regarding 
the results of activities, the potential for 
commercially viable quantities of reserves to 
exist and for the Group’s intentions to 
continue activities in relation to certain areas of 
interest. We corroborated this through 
interviews of key operational and finance 
personnel 

Internal management plans 

o 
o  Minutes of board meetings 
o  Reports lodged with relevant government 

authorities 

o  Announcements made by the Group to 

the ASX 

The valuation of E&E assets is a key audit matter 
due to:  
• 

the significance of the E&E balance (being 
21% of the Group’s total assets); and 

• 

the greater level of audit effort to evaluate 
the Group’s application of the requirements 
of the industry specific accounting standard 
AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of 
Mineral Resources, in particular the presence 
of impairment indicators.  The presence of 
impairment indicators would necessitate a 
detailed analysis by the Group of the value of 
E&E, therefore given the criticality of this to 
the scope and depth of our work, we 
involved senior team members to challenge 
the Group’s determination that no such 
indicators existed.  

In assessing the presence of impairment 
indicators, we focused on those that may draw 
into question the commercial continuation of E&E 
activities for areas of interest within the Duketon 
region of WA as well as the McPhillamys project 
of NSW where significant capitalised E&E exists.  
In performing the assessments above, we paid 
particular attention to: 

•  The Group’s compliance with key license 
conditions to maintain current rights to 
tenure for an area of interest, particularly 
minimum expenditure requirements 

•  The ability of the Group to fund the 

continuation of activities for all areas of 
interest 

•  Results from latest activities regarding the 

potential for a commercially viable quantity of 
reserves and the Group’s intention to 
continue E&E activities in each area of 
interest as a result.

true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

•  assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, 

matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they 
either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 
so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

• 

• 

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our Auditor’s 
Report.

Rosemont

The  Rosemont  open-pit  JORC  compliant  Mineral  Resource  as  at  31  March  2018  is  18.3  million  tonnes  at  1.20g/t  Au 
for 0.69 million ounces, compared to 24.7 million tonnes at 1.34g/t Au for 1.07 million ounces at 31 March 2017. The 
reduction is the result of the addition of the Maiden Inferred Underground MRE (1.4 million tonnes at 5.1g/t Au for 0.23 
million ounces, announced 12th March 2018) which occupies some areas previously reported as open-pit Resources. 
The open-pit and underground MRE’s are separated by a surface ensuring no duplication of reported Resources.  The 
Rosemont MRE’s combined total 19.7 million tonnes at 1.46g/t Au for 0.92 million ounces.

The  Rosemont  JORC  compliant  Ore  Reserve  as  at  31  March  2018  is  8.5  million  tonnes  at  1.31g/t  Au  for  0.36  million

McPhillamys

The  McPhillamys  JORC  compliant  Mineral  Resource  at  31  March  2018  is  68.9  million  tonnes  at  1.04g/t  Au  for  2.31 
million ounces, compared to 73.2 million tonnes at 0.94g/t Au for 2.21 million ounces at 31 March 2017.  An MRE update 
was completed in late 2017 (refer separate ASX announcement 8th September 2017) on the back of an infill drilling 
programme.  This drilling effectively doubled the drillhole density over the deposit.

103

The MRE update was released in conjunction with a maiden Ore Reserve at McPhillamys totaling 60.1 million tonnes 
at 1.05g/t Au for 2.03 million ounces (refer separate ASX announcement 8th September 2017).  Significant progress on 
the McPhillamys Project is being made on multiple fronts including environmental baseline monitoring/modelling, 
advanced metallurgical testwork, detailed mine design, project scheduling and project execution planning. 

Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company announced that a Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) has 
been submitted to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE).  The PEA represents the lead document in 
the development application phase and is the trigger for the DPE to provide the Secretary’s Environmental Assessments 
Requirements for the project, which will allow for the Environmental Impact Statement to be appropriately focussed 
to enable regulatory assessment of the project.

Contemporaneous with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement, the Company expects to complete 
the Definitive Feasibility Study by December 2018.

Governance Arrangements & Internal Controls

Regis  has  put  in  place  governance  arrangements  and  internal  controls  with  respect  to  its  estimates  of  Mineral 
Resources and Ore Reserves and the estimation process, including:

  oversight and approval of each annual statement by responsible senior officers;

  establishment of internal procedures and controls to meet JORC Code 2012 compliance in all external reporting;

  independent review of new and materially changed estimates;

  annual reconciliation with internal planning to validate reserve estimates for operating mines; and

  board approval of new and materially changed estimates.
