R E P O R T
Dear Shareholder
The 2019 financial year was one of significant achievement
and change for Regis and I am also pleased to report another
very profitable one.
Net Profit After Tax of $163.1m, despite being slightly down
on last year, was a commendable achievement. Record
revenue from increased gold production and a higher
realised gold price was offset by increased costs primarily
due to increased strip ratios and industry-wide cost
pressures. In addition, a non-cash write-down of some
previously capitalised exploration expenditure was taken.
Our strong profitability, cashflows and outlook, enabled
the Board to declare fully-franked dividends for the year
totalling $81m or $0.16 per share, continuing Regis’
industry-leading performance. This brings total dividends
declared by Regis to $407m and $1,000 invested in Regis
10 years ago with re-investment of dividends, is now worth
over $12,500.
H I G H L I G H T S
Highlights for the year included:
Record gold production and strong financial metrics
generating industry leading dividend returns;
Reserve replacement at Duketon;
Development of our first underground mine at Rosemont; and
Continued encouragement
greenfields exploration effort which
approximately 1,200m below the Rosemont pit;
from our near-mine and
included drilling
In addition, subsequent to year end, we submitted our
Development Application and Environmental
Impact
Statement for the McPhillamy’s Project and acquired
exploration tenure that tripled our landholding in the highly
endowed and prospective Duketon Greenstone Belt.
B O A R D A N D S E N I O R

Jim Beyer was appointed Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer in October 2018, taking over from
Mark Clark who also stepped down as Chairman and
Director at the AGM in November, at which time I became
Chairman. Non-Executive Director Mark Okeby resigned
in February 2019 and Steve Scudamore was appointed
a Non-Executive Director in May. Subsequent to year
end, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Paul
Thomas resigned and Non-Executive Director Ross Kestel
will also be retiring from the Board at the 2019 AGM. In
addition, Kim Massey resigned as Chief Financial Officer
and Company Secretary at the end of the year, replaced
by Jon Latto.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Mark, Mark,
Paul, Ross and Kim for their very significant contributions
to Regis over the past decade. This period saw the
development and growth of the Duketon operations and
acquisition of the McPhillamy’s Project along with other
value-adding acquisitions and exploration success,
creating extraordinary shareholder value.
Change and renewal is inevitable in any organisation
and should be embraced for the new skills, experience,
ideas, perspectives and opportunities that come with it.
The Board looks forward to continuing working with Jim
and his team and to building on our past successes whilst
maintaining our strong, positive culture and values.
O U T L O O K
Regis continues to invest in growth through significant
exploration expenditure and capital investment as well
as an active but disciplined business development effort.
Whilst the outlook for the Australian dollar gold price is
positive, this may not always be the case and so we remain
disciplined and prudent in our operations, financing and
strategy. Importantly though, we have significant upside
exposure to a rising gold price with over 8 million ounces
of gold in resources, including 4 million ounces in reserves.
We are in a very strong financial position and are committed
to creating value for our people, our communities and our
shareholders through mining safely and responsibly.
Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Jim, his
senior management team and all our staff and contractors
for their efforts, diligence and enthusiasm. We look forward
to another safe and successful year.

The Company paid a total of $81.2 million in fully franked dividends during the year and subsequent to the end of 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 operations in FY2019. The full year dividend of 8 cents per
share coupled with the 8 cents per share interim dividend paid in March 2019, took the full year pay out to 16 cents per
10
share. This represents a 12.4% payout of FY2019 revenue and 48% of net profit after tax. Since the commencement of
dividend payments in 2013, the Company has paid a total of $407 million in fully franked dividends (81cps).

Prior to this land acquisition Regis controlled 32% of the DGB and were successful explorers discovering over 6 million
ounces of gold. Regis now controls 90% of the DGB and with its expertise and funding to expedite exploration across
highly prospective areas, is well positioned to realise the total undiscovered mineralisation potential of the belt.
The Duketon Project produced record gold production for 2019, with 363,418 ounces of gold produced which was at the
upper end of FY2019 guidance of 340,000-370,000 ounces. Mining volumes increased from the prior year by 31% for the
project with the commencement of operations at the Tooheys Well and Anchor satellite pits. Milled grade increased by 7%
to 1.27g/t with the higher grade ore feed from the Erlistoun and Tooheys Well satellite pits. All in sustaining costs increased
by 14% to $1,029 due principally to the higher strip ratios across the project.

DNO produced 88,558 ounces at a cash cost of $903 per ounce and an all in sustaining cost of $1,055 per ounce.
Production at DNO was down by 17% from the previous year as a result of decreases in processed head grade, recovery
and throughput. During the year, mining at the Gloster deposit transitioned into the harder fresh rock zone of the deposit.
As a result, mill throughput decreased by 8% from the prior year.

Regis controls a significant tenement package across the majority of the Duketon Greenstone Belt. The tenement holding
encompasses 194 granted exploration, prospecting and mining leases, across 991 square kilometres and 4 exploration
licence applications over 227 square kilometres.
Regis’ exploration effort in recent years has been successful in extending the reserve base of the Company and replacing
annual production. Successful replenishment and extension of Reserves is due to the significant tenure position on
prospective geology and the proximity to the 10Mtpa milling capacity provided at Duketon.

Significant exploration and development projects advanced during the year ended 30 June 2019 are outlined below.
Development – Rosemont Underground Project
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 paralleled, en-echelon and stacked vein structures. The quartz-dolerite varies
from 5 metres, up to 100 metres wide.

During the year, the Company continued to progress and refine the pipeline route access to utilise recycled water from the
Mt Piper Power Station and Centennial Mine near Lithgow. This is one of the two long term water supply options for the
Project. The Company continues to hold approximately 4.5GL/pa of ground water access licenses in a zone of the Lachlan
catchment, approximately 80 kilometres from the McPhillamys Project as an alternative water supply.
Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company submitted the McPhillamys Development Application (‘DA’) along with
the Environmental Impact Statement (‘EIS’) for appraisal and assessment by the Department of Planning, Industry and
Environment, New South Wales.
The Definitive Feasibility Study (‘DFS’) is progressing and will be completed subsequent to the submission of the EIS as it
needs to incorporate any additional requirements for Project development emanating from the DA process. The DFS will
further define the operating parameters, estimated capital and operating costs and a development timeline.

Production at DSO increased by 8% from the previous year with 274,861 ounces of gold produced at an all-in sustaining
cost of $1,020 per ounce. Production is higher due to an increase in processed head grade and mill recovery as a result of
ore feed from the Erlistoun satellite pit and the Tooheys Well satellite pit, which commenced operations in October 2018.
AISC increased by 10% primarily due to the higher strip ratio across the Duketon South pits and the construction of an
additional tailings storage facility near Tooheys Well.

DNO produced 88,558 ounces of gold for the year at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,055 per ounce. Gold production was
down 17% on the prior year as a result of decreases in processed head grade, throughput and recovery at the Moolart
Well mill. Throughput was affected by the transition of mining at the Gloster open pit into the harder fresh rock zone of the
deposit.
AISC increased by 28% on the prior year due to increased stripping ratios and mining volumes at DNO, as the mining fleet
focussed on pre-production activities at the Dogbolter satellite pit. In addition, the cost of purchasing additional crushing
capacity at Gloster and lower gold production contributed to the higher all-in sustaining cost for the year.

Significant projects advanced during the year ended 30 June 2019 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.
Development - Rosemont Underground Project
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 Carbon in Leach (‘CIL’) plant. 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 August 2018, the Company announced that it had approved the development of an underground mining operation at
the current Rosemont open pit operation, based on a detailed mining study, which assessed the mining of the maiden
underground resource at Rosemont of 1.4 million tonnes at 5.1g/t Au for 230,000 ounces.
Further extensional and infill reverse circulation (‘RC’) and diamond drilling was completed during the year which has
resulted in an updated Mineral Resource estimate of 1.7 million tonnes at 5.6g/t Au for 314,000 ounces.
The underground mining contract was awarded to Barminco for an initial three year contract on 21 January 2019. Portal
development and decline advance at the southern end of the Rosemont Main open pit began in February 2019 with first
ore expected to be mined in the September 2019 quarter.
Development - 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 July 2019, the Company announced an updated Ore Reserve of 60.8 million tonnes at 1.04g/t Au for 2.02 million
ounces.
REGIS RESOURCES | DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) 27
During the year, the Company continued to progress the pipeline route access to utilise recycled water from the Mt Piper
Power Station and Centennial Mine near Lithgow. This is one of the two long term water supply options for the Project.
Finalisation of a formal water agreement with Centennial Coal Company and Energy Australia Ltd is progressing. The
Company continues to hold approximately 4.5GLpa of ground water access licences in a zone of the Lachlan catchment,
approximately 80 kilometres from the Project as an alternative water supply.
Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company submitted the McPhillamys State Significant Development Application
along with the Environmental Impact Statement (‘EIS’) for appraisal and assessment by the New South Wales Department
of Planning, Industry and Enviroment.
Work is continuing on the Definitive Feasibility Study (‘DFS’), which will incorporate the requirements for the project
development emanating from the results of the EIS. The DFS will further define the operating parameters, estimated capital
and operating costs and a development timetable.
Garden Well Underground
A total of 19,264 metres of resource and diamond drilling was undertaken during the year to test the down plunge continuity
of the high grade gold mineralisation located at the southern end of the Garden Well open pit design. Drilling to date has
identified a high grade gold shoot plunging moderately to the south, extending from the southern end of the open pit, which
measures 4 to 10 metres true width across strike and 80 to 100 metres down dip.
Results continue to show significant widths and grades of gold mineralisation, demonstrating the potential for a maiden
underground resource. A preliminary evaluation of the underground potential is underway with results to be announced
when available.
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 11.4 million tonnes at 0.96g/t for 363,000 ounces of gold. 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. The deposits
are similar in style to the Rosemont Gold deposit, with mineralisation confined to the quartz dolerite.
A RC drilling programme was undertaken during the year to test for extensions to the open pit oxide resources. Further
drilling was undertaken to target high grade gold shoots in fresh rock across a 2 kilometre strike beneath the pit designs.
Four high grade gold shoots have been identified beneath the Baneygo pits and are open down plunge. Results indicate
the high grade shoots measure up to seven metres true width across strike and 40 metres down dip.
Drilling will continue in order to assess the grade and thickness of multiple high grade shoots and their suitability for
underground development.
Moolart Well Gold Mine
During the year, Regis completed an extensive aircore (‘AC’) and RC drilling programme which aimed to test for shallow
oxide resources, test down dip extensions of gold mineralisation beneath the existing pits and to increase the drill density
in the existing resource envelopes, in order to convert additional resources to reserves. Subsequent to the end of the
year, the Company announced that this drilling had contributed to an additional 3.4 million tonnes at 0.89g/t Au for 89,000
ounces to the reserve base which will extend the life of mine at Moolart Well for at least another 12 months.
In addition, a programme of diamond drilling commenced in the June quarter to test the stratigraphy and gold mineralised
structures beneath the existing oxide pits. Gold mineralisation in fresh rock at Moolart Well is largely untested and presents
as a highly prospective target. Encouraging gold assay results have been received for the first diamond hole drilled at the
northern end of the Moolart Well deposit which supports the view that there are gold mineralised structures in fresh rock.
Work will continue to determine the extent of hypogene gold mineralisation in fresh rock beneath the existing oxide pits.

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.

The Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee is charged with formulating the Group’s remuneration policy,
reviewing each director’s remuneration and reviewing the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director’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.
Remuneration levels for KMP are set to attract, retain and incentivise appropriately qualified and experienced directors
and executives. The Company rewards 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 2019 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 (“KPI”).
In FY19, the STI represented the annual component of the “at risk” reward opportunity which is payable in 50% in cash and
50% in performance rights (which vest 12 months after the end of financial year) upon the successful achievement of work
related financial and non-financial KPIs. These KPIs 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 2019 financial year:
FIXED REMUNERATION
Base salary + superannuation + benefits

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.

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 and industry surveys may
provide analysis and advice to ensure the KMP’s remuneration is competitive in the market place, as required. In October
2018, 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.
REGIS RESOURCES | REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) 35
Short Term Incentive
Under the STI plan, all executives have the opportunity to earn an annual incentive. The STI recognises and rewards annual
performance.
How is it paid?
Any STI award is paid 50% in cash and 50% in performance rights (which vest 12 months after the
end of financial year), after the assessment of annual performance.
How much can
executives earn?
In FY19, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director and the Executive Director had a
maximum STI opportunity of 70% and 65% respectively of remuneration, and other executives had a
maximum STI opportunity of 60% of 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 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 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: Rosemont Underground targets as determined by the Board (20%).
When is it paid?
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 50% of the award is paid in cash 3 months after the end of the financial year and the remaining
50% is paid in performance rights which vest 12 months after the end of financial year subject to
shareholder approval for Directors.
What happens if
executive leaves?
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 | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 36
Long Term Incentives
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?
How much can
executives earn?
Executives are eligible to receive performance rights (being the issue of shares in Regis in the future).
In FY19, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director and the Executive Director had a
maximum LTI opportunity of 80% 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 FY19 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
Rosemont underground targets as determined by the Board (15%).
When is performance
measured?
The performance rights issued in FY18 and FY19 have a three year performance period with the
vesting of the rights tested as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021 respectively. 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.
What happens if
executive leaves?
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.

(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

The Group has entered into service contracts with each KMP. The service contract outlines the components of remuneration
paid to each KMP 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 KMP
and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy.
Each KMP, 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 KMPs 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

Non-monetary benefits are presented at actual cost plus any fringe benefits tax paid or payable by the Group.
Long term benefits for accrued annual and long service leave are the movements in the provision, net of any leave taken.
Table 3: Voluntary information – Non-IFRS – Remuneration received by executives
for the year ended 30 June 2019
The amounts disclosed below as executive KMP remuneration for 2019 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 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, Mr Massey and Mr Ertzen) and November 2015 (M Clark). There
were no performance rights that vested during the year.

(i) Mr Clark retired from his role as Managing Director on 15 October 2018. He subsequently continued on as Non-Executive Chairman until 23 November
2018. The remuneration presented above is for the period prior to his retirement.
(ii) Mr Beyer was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director on 15 October 2018. The remuneration presented above is for the period
subsequent to this appointment.
(iii) Mr Ertzen resigned as Executive General Manager – Growth on 7 December 2018. The remuneration presented above is for the period prior to his
resignation.
(iv) Mr Latto was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer on 20 May 2019, and Company Secretary on 24 June 2019. The remuneration presented above
is 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 ($3,861,938 for 2019, 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 Clark stepped down as Managing Director and Executive Chairman on 15 October 2018 and assumed the role of Non-Executive Chairman until his
retirement on 23 November 2018. Mr Clark forfeited the right to unvested performance rights held at the date of his retirement on 23 November 2018.
(ii) Mr Massey resigned as Chief Financial Officer on 1 July 2019. The forfeit of the unvested performance rights has been recorded during the year ended
30 June 2019 as his resignation notice was given during the period.
REGIS RESOURCES | REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) 45
In relation to the performance rights granted in November 2017 and November 2018, there is a three year performance
period which ends on 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021 respectively, with the testing to occur within 60 days after the end
date. Any performance rights which do not vest will lapse after testing. There is no re-testing of performance rights.
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 36.
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
2018 to 30 June 2021). No performance rights were exercised during the year.

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 16 August 2019.
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 2017. 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.

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.
P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R
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 Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director 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 2018.
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.

2. REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME
Accounting Policies
Gold sales
The Group adopted AASB 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers for the first time for the annual reporting period
commencing 1 July 2018. Revenue is generated from the sale of gold bullion and gold. Under AASB 15, revenue is
recognised when control is transferred to the customer which replaced the notion of transfer risks and rewards in AASB
118 – Revenue (superseded on 1 July 2018). The Group applied the new standard AASB 15 using the cumulative effect
approach which recognises the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of Retained
Earnings at 1 July 2018, without having to adjust comparatives in the current year reporting.
The impact on the consolidated financial statement upon the adoption of AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 under the cumulative
effect approach is as following:
Gold bullion sales – gold sales that occurred in June 2018 met the revenue recognition criteria under the prevailing AASB
118 and was correctly recognised in the prior year. The same sale however would not have met the recognition criteria under
AASB 15. Therefore, upon adoption of AASB 15, the standard requires an adjustment of $5,046,000 to the opening Retained
Earnings of the current year and a recognition of that sale in the current year which results in the below impacts on the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Gold forward contracts
As part of the risk management policy, the Group has entered 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:

Mark-to-market has been calculated with reference to the following spot price at period end
$2,009/oz $1,693/oz
(i) Mark-to-market represents the value of the open contracts at balance date, calculated with reference to the gold spot price at that date. A 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 $1,425/oz to $1,878/oz (2018: $1,416/oz to $1,821/oz).

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 and exploration and evaluation assets is charged to the statement
of comprehensive income 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.

Unit-of-production method of depreciation/amortisation
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.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
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.

8. GOLD BULLION AWAITING SETTLEMENT
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.

As of 30 June 2019 there were no gold bullion awaiting settlement (2018: 12,447 ounces at $1,700/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.

10. INVENTORIES
Accounting Policy
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 2018, there was no expense recognised in costs of goods sold for inventories carried at net realisable value.
At 30 June 2019, a portion of ore stockpiles 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 $438,000 being recognised in cost of goods
sold. During the year, all other inventories were carried at cost except for a portion of Erlistoun ore stockpiles written down
to net realisable value resulting in an expense totalling $216,000 being recognised in cost of goods sold (2018: all inventory
is carried at cost).
KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Inventories
Net realisable value tests are performed at each reporting date and represent the estimated forecast sales price of
the gold when its expected to be realised, 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 | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 68
11. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
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.

12. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Accounting Policy
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.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility
and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable
amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units
(“CGUs”) to which the exploration activity relates. The CGU is not larger than the area of interest.

REGIS RESOURCES | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 70
KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
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
at reporting date. Actual expenditure will vary as a result of ongoing management of the tenement portfolio including
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.

13. MINE PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Accounting Policy
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.

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) 73
15. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Accounting policy
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:
Exploration and evaluation assets

An impairment loss of $3,000 (2018: $353,000) has been recognised in relation to tenements that were surrendered,
relinquished or expired during the year.
An impairment loss of $3,932,000 was recognised for the number of tenements relating to the Duketon Gold Project
satellite deposits and Regional WA exploration. Limited work is planned to be undertaken subsequent to year end and as
such, all costs incurred have been written off in the current year. There were no other indicators of impairment identified.
An impairment loss of $2,794,000 was recognised for the Garden Well mining tenements relating to Duketon South
Operations. Exploration and evaluation costs of exploration programmes completed over the period up to 30 June 2017
were impaired where the Group has no immediate plans to incur substantive expenditure on further exploration activity.
Since 30 June 2017 further exploration and evaluation costs continue to prove underground potential.
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.
REGIS RESOURCES | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 74
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.
Employee entitlements
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.

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.
18. NET DEBT AND FINANCE COSTS
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.
19. FINANCIAL ASSETS
Accounting Policy
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 foreign currency risk, interest rate risk 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.
Credit Risk
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 Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Macquarie Bank Limited, Australian banks regulated by APRA
with a short term S&P rating of A-1+ and A-1 respectively. 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 2019, the Group did not have any financial guarantee liabilities (2018: Nil).
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.
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: 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.
Interest rate risk
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

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.
Fair Values
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.

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 2019 there are no unrecognised temporary differences associated with the
Group’s investment in subsidiaries (2018: $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.
Deferred income tax at 30 June relates to the following:
Deferred tax liabilities
Receivables
Inventories
Prepayments
Property, plant and equipment
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Mine properties under development
Mine properties
Gross deferred tax liabilities
Set off of deferred tax assets

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.
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.
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.
REGIS RESOURCES | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 84
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.

Employee share option plan (ESOP)
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.

Option pricing model
The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted under the ESOP is estimated as at the date of grant using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. There
were no new grants of employee options during the year ended 30 June 2019. The following table lists the inputs to the
model used for the year ended 30 June 2018:
Dividend yield (%)
Expected volatility (%)
Risk free interest rate (%)

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may
occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that historical volatility is indicative of future trends, 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.

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 2018:
AASB 15 Revenue from Contract with Customers
AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment
Transactions
The Group had to change its accounting policies and make certain retrospective adjustments following the adoption
of AASB 15. This is disclosed in Note 2. Other amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial
statements.
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 2019 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 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 re-measure 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.
The Group will adopt the new standard effective from its mandatory adoption date of 1 July 2019, applying the Modified
Retrospective Approach. Under this approach, the Group is not required to restate the comparative amounts for the year
prior to adoption.
The Group has largely completed the assessment of key contracts and arrangements that may qualify as leases under
the new standard and require recognition on the balance sheet. The Group has reviewed key service contracts including
mining services, drilling, haulage and power generation contracts. The Group expects to recognise right-of-use assets and
a corresponding lease liability of approximately $13 million to $18 million on 1 July 2019 in respect of the power generation
and office rental contracts. Details of these contracts are disclosed at note 26. Existing finance leases under AASB 117
for the Komatsu loaders will also form part of the lease liability under AASB 16 (refer to note 18). The lease assessment
and quantification of the Group’s mining contracts is ongoing and may result in an increase to the right-of-use asset and
corresponding lease liability noted above. The Group expects that the adoption of AASB 16 will not have a material impact
on net profit after tax, net assets or financial position for the year ending 30 June 2020.
The initial lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset will be measured at the present value of the future lease
payments for the lease term. As a result, the balance sheet will show higher assets (right-of-use assets) and higher liabilities
(lease liabilities). The Group will recognise the right-of-use asset at the amount equal to the lease liability, with no impact
on retained earnings.
Operating cash flows will increase and financing cash flows decrease as repayment of the principle portion of the lease
liabilities will now be classified as cash flows from financing activities. The net increase/decrease in cash and cash
equivalents will remain the same. Depreciation of the right-of-use asset, and interest on the lease liability, will be recognised
in the statement of comprehensive income.
REGIS RESOURCES | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 93
The Group has assessed what practical expedients are available under AASB 16 upon transition. The Group expects that
its application of practical expedients will not have a material impact on the lease liability to be recognised.

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 2019 and of

complying with Australian Accounting
Standards and the Corporations Regulations
2001.
The Group consists of Regis Resources Limited (the
Company) and the entities it controlled at the year end
or from time to time during the financial year.
Basis for opinion
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 Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. 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.

Valuation and Classification of low grade ore stockpiles
AU $55,898 (thousand)
Refer to Note 10 Inventories
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Significant judgement 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 judgement is required by us in
evaluating and challenging the Group’s
assessment.
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:
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 judgements listed below
which impact the valuation and classification of ore
stockpiles:
•
•
•
•
Forecast processing costs of low grade ore
stockpiles.
The estimated 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.
o Comparing forecast processing costs to
previous actual costs, and for consistency
with management’s latest life of mine
plan.
o Comparing the estimated 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 $185,748 (thousand)
Refer to Note 12 Exploration and Evaluation Assets
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 licences.
• 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:
o Interviews of key operational and finance
personnel.
o Internal management plans.
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
approximately 19% 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 commercial viable quantity of
reserves and the Group’s intention to continue
E&E activities in each area of interest as a
result.

Other Information
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Regis Resources Limited’s annual reporting
which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are
responsible for the Other Information.
The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Directors’ Report.
The remaining Other Information, which includes the Highlights, Chairman’s Report, Corporate, Duketon
Gold Project, Gold Exploration, Reserves & Resources and ASX Additional Information is expected to be
made available to us after the date of the Auditor’s Report.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the
Remuneration Report.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In
doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or
our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information,
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of
this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors are responsible for:
•
•
•
preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and the Corporations Act 2001;
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a
true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. 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 and Company 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.

Rosemont
The Rosemont open-pit Mineral Resources compliant with JORC Code 2012 as at 31 March 2019 is 12.6 million tonnes
at 1.19g/t Au for 0.60 million ounces, compared to 18.3 million tonnes at 1.20g/t Au for 0.69 million ounces at 31 March
2018. The reduction is the result of the addition of the Rosemont Central zone to the Underground MRE 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 is 14.3 million tonnes at 1.7g/t Au
for 0.78 million ounces.
