Corporate

During the 2020 financial year Regis achieved record net profit after tax of $200 million, with a net profit after tax margin of 26% and a

Return on Equity of 24% reflecting the strength of the business. This record result was assisted by the higher gold price which saw a 16%

increase in gold revenue to $757 million. 352,042 ounces of gold was produced at an All in Sustaining Cost of A$1,246 per ounce during

FY2020.

Regis sold a total of 353,182 ounces of gold during the year at an average price of A$2,200 per ounce. The Company delivered the gold

produced during the year into a combination of spot deferred contracts and at the prevailing spot price. At the end of the financial year

the Company had reduced its total hedging position by 52,020 ounces to 399,494 ounces of spot deferred contracts with a delivery price

of $A1,614 per ounce.

Building on our
Reliability

Net cash from operating activities of $343 million was up 24% from the previous year. Cash and bullion holdings at the end of year were

$209 million, after payment of $135 million in payments for mine development, $65 million in property, plant and equipment, $81 million

in dividends, $37 million in exploration expenditure, $64 million in income tax and $21 million for the acquisition of 35 tenements from

Duketon Mining Limited which tripled the Company's landholding in the Duketon Greenstone Belt.

The Company paid a total of $81 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 FY2020. The full year dividend of 8 cents per share coupled with the 8 cents per share

interim dividend paid in March 2020, took the full year pay out to 16 cents per share.

This represents an 11% payout of FY2020 revenue and 21% of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. Since the

commencement of dividend payments in 2013, the Company has declared a total of $488 million in fully franked dividends (97cps).

Duketon Gold Project

The Duketon Gold Project is located in the

North Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia

approximately 130 kilometres north of Laverton.

The project area consists of two operating centres being

the Duketon South Operations (“DSO”) comprising the

Garden Well and Rosemont Gold Mines and surrounding

satellite deposits including the Erlistoun Gold Mine,

Tooheys Well Gold Mine and Baneygo Gold Mine; and the

Duketon North Operations (“DNO”) comprising the Moolart

Well Gold Mine and surrounding satellite deposits including

the Gloster Gold Mine, Anchor Gold Mine, Dogbolter Gold

Mine and the Petra Gold Mine. During FY2020 Regis tripled

its landholding in the Duketon Greenstone Belt and now

has in excess of 3,000 square kilometres of exploration

and mining tenure.

The Duketon Project produced 352,042 ounces of gold

which was within guidance of 340,000-370,000 ounces for

FY2020. During the financial year, commercial production

was achieved at the Company’s first underground

operation at Rosemont in addition to the commencement

of operations at the Dogbolter, Baneygo and Petra satellite

pits. All in Sustaining Costs increased by 21% to A$1,246

per ounce with the higher gold price resulting in a $25 per

ounce increase in the form of royalties.

Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company completed

the acquisition of valuable resource and tenement holdings

from Stone Resources Australia Limited (ASX: SHK). Regis

issued a total of $10 million worth of Regis shares to SHK

and will pay a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) which begins

after the first 100,000 ounces of production. The 1% NSR

payments are capped at $5 million, after which the royalty

will revert to 0.0025% NSR for four years.

Operating results for the entire Duketon Project are summarised below:

Duketon South Operations

The Duketon South Operations includes the Garden Well, Rosemont, Erlistoun, Tooheys Well, Baneygo and other

satellite projects in proximity to the Garden Well processing plant

Annual production at DSO was 259,858 ounces of gold for the year, which was a decrease of 5% on the prior year. The decrease in gold

production was primarily due to lower throughput driven by processing interruptions at the Garden Well processing plant. Declaration of

commercial production at the Rosemont Underground operation was made on 1 June 2020. The introduction of Rosemont Underground

material contributed 178,505 tonnes ore at 1.85 g/t for 9,980 ounces of gold in FY2020.

Gold Exploration

Duketon Gold Project

Regis controls a significant tenement package across the majority of the Duketon Greenstone Belt (DGB) which includes over 3,000 square

kilometres of contiguous tenements.

Regis’ organic growth potential through exploration was given a major boost in August 2019 when the Company acquired the Duketon Mining

Ltd (DKM) tenement holding across the Duketon Greenstone Belt. The acquisition tripled the Company’s landholding and has provided new

opportunities for significant new gold discoveries in underexplored areas across 120 strike kilometres of prospective geology.

In addition, the recent acquisition of the Ben Hur Gold Deposit and surrounding tenements from Stone Resources Australia Ltd will add

immediate value to the resource base and provides significant new potential growth opportunities through extensional drilling and exploration.

Regis’ large landholding, approximately 93% of this highly prospective greenstone belt, and accelerated Greenfields exploration will provide a

steady flow of new opportunities to the pipeline of projects required to feed the resource and reserve base of the Duketon Operations.

Significant exploration and development projects advanced during the year ended 30 June 2020 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

occurs over 4 kilometre strike within the quartz-dolerite and is localised within en-echelon quartz-albite veins and associated hydrothermal

alteration. The quartz-dolerite varies in thickness from 5 metres, up to 100 metres wide.

Development of the portal at the southern end of the Rosemont Main open pit began in February 2019, with first ore mined in the September

2019 quarter. Commercial production was declared by the Company on 1 June 2020. An updated Mineral Resource estimate of 2 million tonnes

at a grade of 5.4g/t for 330,000 ounces of gold was announced in August 2020.

Deep extensional diamond drilling continues at Rosemont Underground in order to determine the extent of the mineralised quartz-dolerite 500

metres below planned underground development and the potential for extensions to underground resources.

Rosemont Underground long-section looking west with high-grade intercepts beneath the final pit and planned underground development.

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 11

Garden Well Underground

Garden Well is a shear hosted Archaean orogenic gold deposit located 100 kilometres north of Laverton which commenced operations

in September 2012 and currently has a 5-year mine life. Drilling below the final pit design at the Garden Well Gold mine indicated the

potential for a significant underground target below the southern end of the open pit project. Numerous thick, high-grade intercepts sit

below and to the south of the pit design in a zone of continuous mineralisation.

RC and diamond drilling programmes were undertaken with the aim to test the down plunge continuity of high-grade gold mineralisation

located below the final pit design and to reduce the drill spacing.

Diamond drilling beneath the southern end of the Garden Well pit during the year confirmed a wide, robust high-grade mineralised zone.

The drilling has been a key exploration focus and is now complete and ready for the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource and Ore

Reserve. This is expected to be completed in H1 FY2021.

Following the completion of drilling at Garden Well South, focus has turned to the high-grade gold intercepts in early exploration drilling

below the northern end of the pit. This provides a new opportunity to add to the resources, with potential for high-grade gold mineralisation

extending 400 metres down plunge beneath the northern end of the pit.

Garden Well long section looking west with potential Garden Well South Underground and Garden Well North Underground high-grade intercepts

beneath the current pit design.

12 Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020

Baneygo Underground

The Baneygo-Idaho Gold Project is located 15 kilometres south along strike of the Rosemont Gold Deposit and has an open-pit Mineral

Resource of 12 million tonnes at 1.0g/t for 381,000 ounces of gold. Gold mineralisation at Baneygo extends over 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 gold mineralisation confined to the quartz-dolerite.

During the finanical year, a deep drill programme targeted down plunge and strike extensions to the gold mineralisation beneath open pit

oxide Resources. Infill drilling commenced to reduce drill spacing beneath the central pit with the aim of defining a potential underground

Resource.

Baneygo Central long section looking west with significant intercepts beneath the current pit design.

Greenfields Exploration

Greenfields exploration campaigns have focussed on identifying new mineralised trends and drill testing high priority geological target

areas. Much of the western trend is concealed by transported sediment cover, is significantly underexplored, and is in a geologically

similar setting to other large gold systems in the Eastern Goldfields.

A regional program of surface lag sampling commenced following the acquisition of the DKM tenure in August 2019 with 25,000 samples

collected to date to build on Regis’ existing geochemical database. Results from surface lag sampling and geochemical Aircore drilling has

identified new mineralised trends which were previously unrecognised.

The highest priority target identified to date is located at the Risden Well District.

The Risden Well District shows all the signs of a large hydrothermal system with the potential to host a sizable gold deposit located under

transported sediment cover at the edge of a late sedimentary basin. Geochemical anomalies characteristic of large hydrothermal gold

systems have been intersected in AC drilling over 20 kilometres at Risden Well within the sediment package.

A single diamond drill hole was drilled to 523 metres at the Betelgeuse Prospect to confirm the geology, alteration mineralogy, and

orientation of shearing and veining. Immediate work is focussed on the Betelgeuse Prospect at Risden Well, with RC and Aircore drilling

testing a 5 kilometre-long gold geochemical target.

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 13

Group Reserve & Reserve Growth

The exploration programme at the Duketon project continues to be focussed on high potential areas for Mineral Resource expansions with

a view to delivering further extensions to the mine life of the current operations. In addition, drilling for underground resource potential

continues to produce highly encouraging results at Garden Well, Baneygo and other earlier stage targets.

The Company released an updated annual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Statement in August 2020. The JORC compliant Group

Mineral Resources as at 31 March 2020 are estimated to be 249 million tonnes at 1.0g/t gold for 7.69 million ounces of gold, compared

with the estimate at 31 March 2019 of 263 million tonnes at 1.0g/t Au for 8.19 million ounces of gold.

Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Ore Reserves and include all exploration and resource definition drilling information, where

practicable, up to 31 March 2020 and have been depleted for mining to 31 March 2020.

Mineral Resources are constrained by optimised open pit shells developed with operating costs and a long-term gold price assumption of

A$2,000 per ounce for the purpose of satisfying “reasonable prospects for eventual extraction” (JORC 2012).

The re-estimation of Group Ore Reserves resulted in a 1% decrease in tonnes and 2% decrease in ounces after allowing for depletion

by mining. This was primarily the result of the inclusion of further drilling results at all Duketon Ore Deposits, Resource reviews and the

subsequent Resource updates.

The 100% Regis owned McPhillamys Gold Project, located in New South Wales, is one of Australia’s larger undeveloped open pittable gold

resources. The project is located 250 kilometres west of Sydney in a well-established mining district. The current Ore Reserves at the

McPhillamys Gold Project are 61 million tonnes at 1.0g/t gold for 2.02 million ounces.

Pre-feasibility level studies show the McPhillamys Gold Project is a robust, large scale open pit gold mine with a planned 7 million tonne

per annum mining and processing operation producing an average of 192,000 ounces per annum over a nine year mine life.

During the year, the Company continued to progress the water supply agreement, finalise the pipeline route and negotiate with land

holders for 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 Gold Project as an alternative water supply. In addition,

an application to connect the Project power supply has been made with TransGrid. Regis is working with the community and TransGrid to

identify the optimum route, placement of infrastructure and land access.

In July 2019, the Company submitted the Development Application (‘DA’) along with the Environmental Impact Statement (‘EIS’) for the

development of the McPhillamys Gold Project. These reports were publicly exhibited for a 42-day period ending on 24 October 2019. The

exhibition period provided an opportunity for the public authorities, organisations, and the general public to make submissions on the

project to the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (‘DPIE’).

Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company reached another key milestone after lodging a Submissions Report and Project Amendment

Report with the DPIE addressing comments and questions raised by government agencies and the community during the public exhibition

of the EIS in 2019. The DA will now be assessed by the NSW DPIE before being determined by the NSW Independent Planning Commission

(‘IPC’) with a possible decision by the IPC during the first half of 2021.

Regis recognises and respects that the final decision by the government is still to be made and while the process is still underway a

decision on the DA could be made in the first half of 2021. Should this occur based on current plans the Company foresees potential for

commissioning to occur in the second half of 2022. As noted, this is highly dependent on the timing of a successful application approval.

24 Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020

Directors’ ReportPerformance relative to the previous financial year

Regis achieved an after tax profit of $199.5 million for the full year to 30 June 2020, which was up 22.3% from the previous corresponding

year result of $163.1 million.

Sales

The Company produced 352,042 ounces of gold for the year ended 30 June 2020. Gold sales revenue rose by 15.8% from the previous

year with 353,182 ounces of gold sold at an average price of $2,200 per ounce in 2020 (2019: 369,721 ounces at $1,765 per ounce). The

Company delivered gold produced into a combination of forward contracts and at the prevailing spot price.

The total hedging position at the end of the year was 399,494 ounces with a weighted average forward price of $1,614 per ounce (2019:

451,514 ounces with a weighted average forward price of $1,611 per ounce).

Cost of Sales

Costs of sales including royalties, but before depreciation and amortisation increased by 4.9% to $344.1 million.

Depreciation and Amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation charges increased by 45.9% from the prior year predominantly as a result of new pits commencing

production in FY20 and the adoption of the new standard AASB 16 – Leases which has also contributed $8.7 million to this increase

(Refer to Note 11).

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities was $343.0 million, up 24.5% on the prior year due to increased revenue. During the year, the Company

paid $63.8 million of income taxes.

The Company continued to provide strong returns to shareholders through the payment of two fully franked dividends in FY20 totalling

$81.3 million.

Production at DSO decreased by 5% from the previous year with 259,858 ounces of gold produced at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,218

per ounce. Production is lower due to processing interruptions at Garden Well as a result of unplanned maintenance shutdowns and a mill

motor failure and marginally lower grade.

AISC increased by 19% primarily due to an increase in drill & blast costs at the satellite pits with harder rock surfaces and deeper in-pit

mining along with reduced production as mentioned above. In addition, higher cost ounces at Rosemont Underground were recognised

following the declaration of commercial production from 1 June 2020 as the mine continues to ramp up to steady state production levels.

DNO produced 92,184 ounces of gold for the year at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,324 per ounce. Gold production was up 4% on the prior

year as a result of increases in processed head grade and throughput at the Moolart Well mill. Throughput benefited from the introduction

of ore feed from the Dogbolter satellite pit, which commenced operations in September 2019.

AISC increased by 25% on the prior year due to increased stripping ratios at DNO, as the mining fleet focussed on near surface mining

activities at Dogbolter and pre-production mining at the Petra satellite pit. In addition, harder material from Gloster has resulted in an

increase in the milling costs with the requirement of additional crushing capacity required for the full financial year, as well as additional

costs associated with the changeover of the Company’s primary haulage contractor.

Exploration

During the year, a total of 221,365 metres of exploration drilling was completed across the Group’s tenements in Western Australia and

New South Wales.

Regis’ exploration for FY20 reflects the renewed growth strategy which continues to test for near mine extensions and new greenfield

targets. The acquisition of the Duketon Mining Limited tenements on 23 August 2019 provided a significant increase to opportunities for

new Greenfields discoveries, and increased the Company’s landholding to approximately 90% of the Duketon Greenstone Belt (“DGB”).

Regis commenced a significant surface lag sampling program to generate new gold targets on the newly acquired tenure.

Directors’ ReportSignificant projects advanced during the year ended 30 June 2020 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 July 2019, the Company achieved first ore from the underground mining operation with 186k tonnes ore mined and 6,367 lineal metres

of development during the year. As noted above, commercial production was declared from 1 June 2020.

Deep diamond drilling commenced to explore the high-grade shoots which extend at depth beneath existing underground infrastructure

with the Company announcing in August 2020 an updated Mineral Resource of 2 million tonnes at 5.4g/t AU for 330,000 ounces.

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 August 2020, the

Company announced an updated Ore Reserve of 61 million tonnes at 1.0g/t Au for 2.02 million ounces.

In July 2019, the Company submitted the Development Application (‘DA’) along with the Environmental Impact Statement (‘EIS’) for the

development of the McPhillamys Gold Project. These reports were publicly exhibited for a 42-day period ending on 24 October 2019.

The exhibition period provided an opportunity for public authorities, organisations, and the general public to make submissions on the

project to the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (‘DPIE’). The Company is in the process of completing the Responses to

Submissions (‘RTS’) with the responses expected to be submitted in the coming weeks.

The RTS is the next major phase in the assessment and approval process. The DPIE will then assess the DA and make a recommendation to

the Independent Planning Commission (‘IPC’) which generally takes three to four months to complete. Finally, the IPC will conduct a public

hearing, which under the updated framework requires a determination within a timeframe of 12 weeks.

Regis recognises and respects that the final decision by the government is still to be made and while the process is still underway a

decision on the DA could be made in the first half of 2021. Should this occur based on current plans the Company foresees potential for

commissioning to occur in the second half of 2022. As noted, this is highly dependent on the timing of a successful application approval.

Garden Well Underground

A total of 19,141 metres of resource definition drilling was completed 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 confirm a wide, robust high-grade mineralised zone beneath the pit, with a maiden Resource and Reserve estimate anticipated in

the September Quarter. The pre-feasibility study commenced during the year and is scheduled for completion in the December quarter.

Baneygo-Idaho Project

The Baneygo-Idaho Gold Project is located 15 kilometres south along strike of the Rosemont Gold Deposit and has an open-pit Resource

of 12 million tonnes at 1.0g/t for 381,000 ounces of gold, including Ore Reserves of 3 million tonnes at 1.2g/t for 140,000 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.

Deep drilling at Baneygo during the year targeted down plunge and strike extensions to gold mineralisation beneath oxide Resources. Infill

drilling commenced to reduce the drill spacing to 40m x 40m with the aim of defining a potential underground Resource. Results to date

have been encouraging to support a case for potential underground development.

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 27

Directors’ ReportGloster Project

The Gloster Gold Project is hosted in a package of intermediate volcanics and intrusives. Gold mineralisation is interpreted to be associated

with multiple stacked lodes consisting of low angle quartz veins, dipping moderately to the north east. Gloster currently has an open-pit

Resource of 13 million tonnes at 0.8g/t for 310,000 ounces of gold, including Ore Reserves of 2 million tonnes at 1.0g/t for 60,000 ounces

of gold.

During the year, Regis completed initial stages of a reverse circulation (‘RC’) and diamond drilling programme which identified a complex

gold mineralised zone of steeply dipping shears and multiple flat lying mineralised vein sets beneath the existing pit. Mineralised zones

are characterised by several metres of quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins with visible gold. An update of the mineralisation model provided

further confidence that gold mineralisation beneath the Gloster Pit could be proved for economic underground development.

Betelgeuse (Risden Well) Prospect

Low level gold anomalies have been identified in surface samples and first pass aircore (‘AC’) drilling in poorly explored areas. AC drilling is

ongoing in the high priority target areas with initial drill testing on a broad line spacing from 3,200 to 800 metres to define the stratigraphy

and determine the distribution of gold in the regolith.

The highest priority regional targets along Risden Well trend have been tested with AC drilling on an 800-metre line spacing and defined

anomalous gold >0.1g/t over a 5 kilometre strike within the sediment package adjacent to the western margin of the DGB.

The prospect area is now known as Betelgeuse and a campaign of intense infill drill testing will be carried out in FY21 to determine the

continuity, thickness and tenor of gold mineralisation across the 5 kilometre strike line.

COVID-19

The Company’s response to COVID-19 was initiated in February 2020 which included the establishment of a Crisis Management Team to

coordinate and implement the Company’s COVID-19 Response Plan to the pandemic. The wellbeing of Regis’ employees, contractors and

local communities continues to be the priority in these challenging times. Accordingly, the Company has implemented a range of measures

across the business consistent with advice from State and Federal health authorities.

In addition, Regis joined the FIFO DETECT research program which is supported by resource companies to identify potential asymptomatic

cases of COVID-19 with FIFO workers. The Company has also made donations to help support several charities as part of the Chamber of

Minerals and Energy COVID-19 Community Support Initiative.

The overall impact to operations and the business have been controlled and well managed albeit with a marginal impact on costs.

COVID-19 costs relate to additional medical supplies, travel and logistics costs along with the broader ongoing workforce FIFO DETECT

testing across the business. This is likely to continue in the foreseeable future.

To date there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 across the business.

Directors’ ReportRemuneration Report (Audited)

Dear Shareholder,

The Board, through its independent Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee, reviews both the level and structure of Executive

and Non-Executive remuneration. Notwithstanding 98% approval of our 2019 Remuneration Report, we have again sought feedback from

shareholders and advisers to assist us in this year’s review.

When it comes to remuneration structures, there are of course, many different possibilities and opinions. Your Board seeks to implement

remuneration structures and levels that it believes are:

• Fair and transparent;

• Consistent with the behaviours we expect;

• Aligned with shareholder interests; and

• Reward performance against our short and longer term business objectives and strategic goals.

For Key Management Personnel (“KMP”), remuneration comprises both fixed and variable components and is significantly weighted

towards the variable, at-risk components of Short Term Incentives (“STI”) and Long Term Incentives (“LTI”). Within the variable component,

a greater emphasis is placed on LTIs.

In FY20, as detailed in this report, each KMP was awarded 70% of their maximum STI opportunity. No LTIs were scheduled for testing or

vesting.

For FY21, in light of the current pandemic-induced global economic downturn and uncertainty and in keeping with our objective of

weighting remuneration towards variable at-risk incentive opportunities, your Board has decided to keep KMP total fixed remuneration

(“TFR”) the same as in FY20 but has made various changes to the level and composition of the STIs and LTIs. Furthermore, we have sought

to improve transparency of actual amounts awarded for FY20 and targets for FY21.

Of particular note, we have increased the weighting of safety in the STIs and replaced the EBITDA component with All-In-Sustaining-Costs

to improve transparency and reduce the impact of the gold price and overlap with the production component. We have also customised

STIs for each KMP to more accurately reflect their individual roles and responsibilities within the Company.

In relation to LTIs to be awarded in FY21, we have increased the maximum percentage opportunity for the Chief Executive Officer and

Managing Director, reflecting peer comparison and our emphasis on longer term remuneration and equity participation. The weighting

towards Relative Total Shareholder Return has been increased in order to reduce the impact of the gold price and overall market effect

on remuneration but we have retained two Company specific objectives being Reserve Growth and the successful development of the

McPhillamys Gold Project, which are key focus areas and value drivers for our business over the next 3 years. Rather than reduce the

weightings of these to less meaningful levels, we have removed the Production Growth measure for this period, taking into account

that we have already identified significant internal production growth opportunities with McPhillamys and the anticipated Garden Well

underground development.

The no-fatality gateway on variable remuneration will be applied only to the STI for FY21 (previously also applied to LTIs) which we believe

is more appropriate.

Remuneration for Non-Executive Directors (“NED”) comprises fixed fees which are set at levels which we believe are necessary and

appropriate to attract and retain the quality and diversity of NEDs that we expect. There are no proposed changes for FY21, other than

through the effect of a full year of the new Board committee structure on some NEDs’ fees and hence, the aggregate fees paid. The

individual performance and contribution of each NED and of the Board itself is reviewed annually by the Chairman. NEDs are encouraged

to purchase shares in the Company over time to promote greater alignment with shareholders.

The above is not a complete list of changes to our remuneration arrangements. Full details are set out in the following report and I

encourage you to read in its entirety.

accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its regulations. This information has been audited as

required by section 308(3C) of the Act.

having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or

indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.

Principles of Remuneration

The Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee is charged with formulating the Group’s remuneration policy, reviewing each

director’s remuneration and reviewing the 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. The Company has implemented an Executive Incentive Plan for executive directors and other

KMPs which sets out the performance hurdles for both Short Term Incentives and Long Term Incentives.

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

• To align the objectives of the executive director 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 FY20, the STI represented the annual component of the “at risk” reward opportunity which is payable 50% in cash and 50% in performance

rights (which vest 12 months after the end of financial year) upon the successful achievement of 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 at least annually by the Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee.

Elements of Remuneration in FY20

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 at least 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 November 2019, 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. Fees to BDO Remuneration and Reward Pty Ltd for this engagement totalled $30,500

exclusive of GST.

Performance linked remuneration

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

34 Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Short Term Incentive

Under the current arrangements, 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. If Shareholders

do not approve the proposed issue of the Performance Rights to the Chief Executive

Officer and Managing Director the Board will need to consider alternative remuneration

arrangements which may include cash payments.

How much can current executives earn?

In FY20, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director had a maximum STI opportunity

of 70% of total fixed remuneration, and other executives had a maximum STI opportunity

of 60% of total fixed remuneration.

An overarching review by the Board of each individual’s performance against agreed

performance measures and a review of quantitative factors around the Company’s

performance and the macro economic environment will determine the achievable

percentage (between 0%-100%) of the maximum potential STI available to be awarded,

subject further to the level of achievement against detailed KPI’s listed below.

This maximum achievable STI percentage will automatically be 0% in a given financial year

in the event of a work related 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 2020 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: Growth targets (30%) to be apportioned:

• McPhillamys Project targets as determined by the Board (20%);

• Garden Well Underground targets as determined by the Board (10%); and

KPI 5: Individual performance against objectives (10%).

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 within 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

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 35

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Long Term Incentives

Under the current arrangements, annual grants of performance rights are made to executives to align remuneration with the creation of

shareholder value over the long-term.

How is it paid?

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

the future).

How much can current executives earn?

In FY20, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director had a maximum LTI opportunity

of 80% of total fixed remuneration, and other executives had a maximum LTI opportunity of

65% of total 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 FY20 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: EVN, NST, PRU, RSG, SAR, SBM, WGX,

NCM, OGC, SLR, GOR, RMS);

• 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);

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

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

• Production Growth in excess of the levels contained in the Life of Mine Plan (15%).

When is performance measured?

The performance rights issued in FY19 and FY20 have a three year performance period

with the vesting of the rights tested as at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022 respectively.

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

If a matter, event, circumstance or transaction occurs that the Board reasonably believes

control?

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.

Are executives eligible for dividends?

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

Statutory Performance Indicators

The Company aims to align its executive remuneration to its strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder wealth.

The table below shows measures of the Group’s financial performance over the past five years as required by the Corporations Act 2001.

However, these measures are not directly used in determining the variable amounts of remuneration to be awarded to KMPs, as discussed

Long Term

Incentives (LTI)

The performance rights issued in 2021 will be subject to a three year vesting period and the following vesting

conditions:

1. Relative Total Shareholder Return (50%(i))

Performance against comparator group(ii):

Between 50th percentile and the 75th percentile (i.e. 7th to 9th of 12 companies) will result in a straight-line

pro-rata between 50% and 100% of Relative TSR performance rights vesting.

2. Life of Mine Reserve Growth in Excess of Depletion (25%)

Vesting will depend on the Company’s growth in ore reserves net of depletion over the three-year performance

period, calculated at the percentage that the Company’s ore reserves as reported at 30 June 2023 (as per March

2023 Reserve Report) represent of the Company’s ore reserves as at 30 June 2020 (as per March 2020 Reserve

Report). Growth in reserves can arise from M&A activity.

If there are no new additions to Ore Reserves then nil vest.

As new reserves are added from nil to 120% of depletion, this will result in a straight-line pro-rata

between zero and 100% of the Reserve Growth performance rights vesting.

3. McPhillamys Project Performance (25%)

The McPhillamys project has been completed within 10% of the Definitive Feasibility Study capital cost estimate

(including owner’s costs but excluding contingencies) and production and operating costs have each been within

10% of DFS estimates for a continuous period of at least 30 days. This will result in 100% of McPhillamys Project

performance rights vesting.

Service Contracts

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 case of a genuine redundancy, executives

would receive their statutory entitlements based on completed years of service.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Table 6: Voluntary information – Non-IFRS – Remuneration received by executives for the year ended 30 June 2020

The amounts disclosed below as executive KMP remuneration for 2020 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. There were no performance rights that vested during the year.

presented above is for the period prior to his resignation.

(ii) Mr Gula was appointed as Chief Operating Officer on 19 December 2019. The remuneration presented above is only for the period subsequent to his

appointment.

(iii) Mr Massey resigned as Chief Financial Officer on 1 July 2019. The remuneration presented above is for the period prior to his resignation and consists of

annual leave and long service leave termination payments.

The amounts disclosed above are not the same as the remuneration expensed in relation to each KMP in accordance with the accounting

standards ($2,577,114 for 2020, 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 but 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, noting that some components of the

remuneration may not be received at all.

• 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 Thomas resigned as Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer on 19 August 2019 and 30 September 2019 respectively. Mr Thomas forfeited
the right to 113,636 (granted on 23 November 2017) and 129,186 (granted on 23 November 2018) unvested performance rights held at the date of his
retirement on 30 September 2019.

(ii) 50% of Mr Beyer’s STI for the year ended 30 June 2019 is paid in performance rights which vest 12 months after the end of the financial year.

In relation to the performance rights granted in November 2018, there is a three year performance period which ends on and 30 June

2021, 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 18.

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 2022).

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Basis of preparation

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 25 August 2020.

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 2019. Refer to Note 30 for further details;

• does not early adopt Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective. Refer to

Note 30 for further details.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group. A list of controlled entities (subsidiaries) at year

end is contained in Note 24.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting

policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and

losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is

obtained to the date on which control is disposed. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of

accounting.

Foreign currencies

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

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Australian dollars at the exchange rate on that day. Foreign currency monetary

assets and liabilities are translated to Australian dollars at the reporting date exchange rate. Foreign currency gains and losses are

generally recognised in profit or loss.

Other accounting policies

Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the

financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements. Where possible, wording has been simplified to

provide clearer commentary on the financial report of the Group. Accounting policies determined non-significant are not included in

the financial statements. There have been no changes to the Group’s accounting policies that are no longer disclosed in the financial

statements.

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 55

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, financial instruments and risk;

• Other disclosures.

A brief explanation is included under each section

Performance for the year

This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group. This covers both profitability and the resultant return to shareholders

via earnings per share combined with cash generation and the return of cash to shareholders via dividends.

The Company’s response to COVID-19 was initiated in February 2020 which included the establishment of a Crisis Management Team to

coordinate and implement the Company’s COVID-19 Response Plan to the pandemic. The wellbeing of Regis’ employees, contractors and

local communities continues to be the priority in these challenging times. Accordingly, the Company has implemented a range of measures

across the business consistent with advice from State and Federal health authorities.

In addition, Regis joined the FIFO DETECT research program which is supported by resource companies to identify potential asymptomatic

cases of COVID-19 with FIFO workers. The Company has also made donations to help support several charities as part of the Chamber of

Minerals and Energy COVID-19 Community Support Initiative.

The overall impact to operations and the business have been controlled and well managed albeit with a marginal impact on costs.

COVID-19 costs relate to additional medical supplies, travel and logistics costs along with the broader ongoing workforce FIFO DETECT

testing across the business. This is likely to continue in the foreseeable future.

To date there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 across the business.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 20201.

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,

Dogbolter-Coopers and Petra, and Duketon South Operations (“DSO”), currently incorporating Garden Well, Rosemont, Erlistoun, Tooheys

Well and Baneygo. Dogbolter-Coopers, Petra, Baneygo and Rosemont Underground transitioned to operations during the financial year

contributing to the increase in asset holdings at DNO and DSO. Expansionary activity at DSO, together with the right-of-use assets brought

on balance sheet from 1 July 2019, has also contributed to the increase for this segment.

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.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, conduct exploration

and evaluation activities and develop mine properties.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 20202.

Revenue and Other Income

Accounting Policies

Gold sales

The Group recognises revenue from gold sales when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of gold inventory to

the customer. The Group’s assessment is that this generally occurs when the sales contract has been entered into and the customer has

physical possession of the gold, as this is the point at which the customer obtains the ability to direct the use and obtains substantially all

of the remaining benefits of ownership of the asset. The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon price and the number

of ounces delivered. Payment is due upon delivery into the sales contract.

The impact on the consolidated financial statement upon the adoption of AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 under the cumulative effect approach

is as follows:

• Gold bullion sales – Gold bullion awaiting settlement is gold that has physically left the mine site and is either at the refinery (not yet

outturned) or outturned by the refinery, but not yet swapped into RRL’s metal account. Gold bullion sales that occurred in the year

ended 30 June 2018 met the revenue recognition criteria under the prevailing AASB 118 and was correctly recognised in the year

ended 30 June 2018. The same sale however would not have met the recognition criteria under AASB 15, the standard required on

adjustment of $5,046,000 to the opening Retained Earnings at 1 July 2018 and a recognition of that sale in the year ended 30 June

2019 which resulted in the below impacts on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2019.

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:

Revenue and Other Income (continued)

(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 $1,415/oz to $1,854/oz (2019: $1,425/oz to $1,878/oz).

The Company’s current volume limits on the number of ounces hedged allowed at the end of each period are as follows:

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 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

• Buildings and infrastructure: 3 - 10 years

• Fixtures and fittings: 3 - 20 years

• Leasehold improvements: 10 years

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

Key estimates and assumptions

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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020Operating assets and liabilities

This section shows the assets used to generate the Group’s trading performance and the liabilities incurred as a result. Liabilities relating

to the Group’s financing activities are addressed in the capital structure and finance costs section on page 74.

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’s exposure to credit risk in relation to its receivables is not

material.

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

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.

written down to net realisable value resulting in an expense totalling $438,000 being recognised in cost of goods sold. During the 2019

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 20209.

Inventories (continued)

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

10. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 202011. AASB 16 Leases

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting

policy that has been applied from 1 July 2019.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the reporting periods prior to adoption, as

permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard applying the Modified Retrospective Approach. The Group’s retained

earnings and net assets were unaffected by the transition at 1 July 2019.

The nature of the Group’s leasing activities includes service contracts for mining services, drilling, haulage, and power generation

contracts. Additionally, office leases and office equipment have also been included.

Accounting Policy

Until 1 July 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases as required by the previous

accounting standard, AASB 117 Leases. Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to

ownership for the lease item, were 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 were 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 were recognised as an expense in

profit or loss. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a

straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is

available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit

or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract

conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract

conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in AASB 16.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of

the following lease payments:

• Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable.

• Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate.

• Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.

• The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option.

• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental

borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value

in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future

lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable

under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination

option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

• The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability.

• Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

• Any initial direct costs.

• Any restoration costs.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically

reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in

profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are assets with a replacement value

of less than $5,000.

66 Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 202011. AASB 16 Leases (continued)

Adjustments Recognised on Adoption Of AASB 16

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating

leases’ under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments,

discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate

applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 3.79%.

For leases previously classified as finance leases, the Group recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability

immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application. The

measurement principles of AASB 16 are only applied after that date.

The lease liability recognised on date of transition is comprised as follows:

Discounted operating lease commitments using incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019

Finance lease liabilities recognised as at 30 June 2019

Additional lease liabilities from adopting AASB 16

• Property, plant and equipment – decreased by $2,121,000.

• Lease liabilities – increased by $31,373,000.

Practical expedients applied

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.

• The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases.

• The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

• The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

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.

commercial viability and (iv) 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 202012. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)

Organic growth potential through exploration was given a major boost on 23 August 2019 when the Company acquired a large strategic

tenement holding across the Duketon Greenstone Belt from Duketon Mining Limited for $20m cash and up to $5m in contingent payments.

The acquisition tripled the Company’s landholding resulting in a contiguous tenement area over 3,265km² and means that Regis now

controls approximately 90% of the gold rights in this highly prospective belt.

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:

tenements not considered prospective, in whole or in part.

Tenement commitments are shown gross of exemptions that are likely to be available in the ordinary course of business as the financial

impact of potential exemptions cannot be measured reliably in advance.

Accounting Policy

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. Any proceeds from sales in the pre-production phase is deducted from the cost of the asset.

14. Mine Properties

Accounting Policies

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.

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.

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 include Capital Development costs for underground pits.

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. Capital development costs are amortised over the expected recovered ounces of the mine

concerned. The unit of account is ounces recovered.

Key estimates and assumptions

Production stripping costs

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 Limited | Annual Report 2020 71

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 202015.

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 of disposal 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

Note

Consolidated

2020

$’000

1,686

2019

$’000

6,729

An impairment loss of $1,686,000 (2019: $3,000) has been recognised in relation to tenements that were surrendered, relinquished or

expired during the year.

For the year ended 30 June 2020, no impairment (2019: $6,726,000) was recognised in relation to tenements where the Group has no

immediate plans to incur substantive expenditure on further exploration activity.

Key judgements

Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves

The determination of mineral resources and ore reserves impacts the accounting for asset carrying values. The Group estimates its

mineral resources and ore reserves in accordance with the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and

Ore Reserves 2012 (the “JORC” Code). The information on mineral resources and ore reserves was prepared by or under the supervision

of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources and ore reserves

determined under the JORC Code.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves, and assumptions that are valid at the time

of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of

reserves and may ultimately result in reserves being restated.

16. Trade and Other Payables

Accounting Policies

Trade payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at the value of the invoice received from a supplier and subsequently measured at

amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid

and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts

are unsecured and generally paid within 30 days of recognition.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 202017. Provisions

Accounting Policies

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.

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 73

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2020Capital Structure, Financial Instruments and Risk

This section outlines how the Group manages its capital, related financing costs and its exposure to various financial risks. It explains how

these risks affect the Group’s financial position and performance and what the Group does to manage these risks.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide

returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an efficient capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Board’s policy in relation to capital management is to regularly and consistently monitor future cash flows against expected expenditures

for a rolling period of up to 12 months in advance. The Board determines the Group’s need for additional funding by way of either share

issues or loan funds depending on market conditions at the time. The Board defines working capital in such circumstances as its excess

liquid funds over liabilities, and defines capital as being the ordinary share capital of the Company, plus retained earnings, reserves and

net debt. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Board may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return

capital to shareholders, issue new shares or reduce debt.

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

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

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.

74 Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 202019. 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

Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring financial risks and the Risk, Safety, Environment and Community Committee is

responsible for developing and monitoring all other risk management policies. The committees report regularly to the Board of Directors

on their 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 Risk, Safety, Environment and Community 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.

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 75

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 202020. Financial Risk Management (continued)

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 risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group uses 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 and pandemics.

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 2020, the Group did not have any financial guarantee liabilities (2019: 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). 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.

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 as the result has 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 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.

• 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 2020 there are no unrecognised temporary differences associated with the Group’s investment in

subsidiaries (2019: $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:

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.

23. Share-based Payments

Accounting Policy

The value of options or performance rights 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 or performance rights (the vesting period),

ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the option or performance right (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 or performance right;

• The current best estimate of the number of options or performance rights 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.

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.

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 2019:

• AASB 16 Leases (Note 11)

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 2020 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 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material

The amendments clarify the definition of “material” and its application across AASB Standards and other pronouncements. The principal

amendments are to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements.

Application date of Standard: 1 January 2020

Application date for Group: 1 July 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 202030. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations (continued)

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

Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments clarify that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transfer to an associate or joint venture involves a business as

defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that does not constitute a

business, however, is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.

AASB 2015-10 defers the mandatory effective date (application date) of AASB 2014-10 so that the amendments are required to be

applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 instead of 1 January 2018.

Application date of Standard: 1 January 2022

Application date for Group: 1 July 2022

AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australia Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments

The subject of the principal amendments to the Standards are set out below:

AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards

The amendment allows a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent to elect to measure cumulative translation

differences for all foreign operations at the carrying amount that would be included in the parent’s consolidated financial, based on the

parents date of transition, if no adjustment were made for consolidation procedures and for the effects of the business combination in

which the parent acquired the subsidiary.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The amendment clarifies that an entity includes only fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender and fees paid or received

by either the borrower or the lender on the other’s behalf when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are

substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability.

AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment

The amendment requires an entity to recognise the sales proceeds from selling items produced while preparing property, plant and

equipment for its intended use and the related costs in profit or loss, instead of deducting the amounts received from the cost of the

asset.

Without a detailed assessment being performed at this stage, this amendment will be expected to have an impact on the presentation of

net profit after tax, net assets and financial position for the year ending 30 June 2023.

AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

The amendment specifies the costs an entity includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making consists of the incremental

costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts.

Application date of Standard: 1 January 2022

Application date for Group: 1 July 2022

Valuation and Classification of non-current ore stockpiles

AU $63,503 (thousand)

Refer to Note 9 Inventories

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Significant judgement is required to be exercised
by the Group in assessing the value and
classification of non-current ore stockpiles which
will be used to produce gold bullion in the future.
The valuation and classification of non-current ore
stockpiles is a key audit matter because:

• Additional non-current ore stockpiles have

been created from the continuation of mining
activities; and

•

Significant judgement is required by us in
evaluating and challenging the key
assumptions within the Group’s assessment.

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

•

Future processing and selling costs of non-
current ore stockpiles.

The estimated quantity of gold contained
within the non-current ore stockpiles.

Future commodity prices expected to prevail
when the gold from existing non-current ore
stockpiles is processed and sold.

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

Assumptions are forward looking or not based on
observable data and are therefore inherently
judgmental to audit.

•

Our procedures included:

•

Testing the Group’s key controls in relation to
the preparation and review of 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 applied by the

Group in determining the value of non-current
ore stockpiles against the requirements of the
accounting standards.

• Assessing the methodology and key

assumptions in the Group’s model used to
determine the value of non-current ore
stockpiles by:

o Comparing future processing costs to

previous actual costs, and for consistency
with the Group’s latest life of mine plan.

o Comparing the estimated quantity of gold
contained within stockpiles to the Group’s
internal geological survey results and
historical trends. We assessed the scope,
competence and objectivity of the Group’s
internal expert involved in preparing the
geological survey results.

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

o Assessing the relevance of current

processing and selling costs for future
production taking into consideration the
Group’s planned changes in operations.

Critically evaluating the Group’s classification of
non-current 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.

Regis Resources Limited | Annual Report 2020 91

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)

Valuation of exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets

AU $230,260 (thousand)

Refer to Note 12 Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

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

•

The significance of the E&E balance (being
approximately 20% 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 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.

Our procedures included:

• We evaluated the Group’s accounting policy to
recognise exploration and evaluation assets
using the criteria in the accounting standard.

• We tested the Group’s current right of tenure
and compliance with minimum expenditure
requirements for a sample of exploration
licences by corroborating the ownership of the
relevant license and expenditure recorded to
government registries.

• 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 evaluated Group documents, such as
minutes of board meetings, internal
management plans and reports lodged with
relevant government authorities for
consistency with the Group’s stated intentions
for continuing E&E in certain areas, the
potential for commercially viable quantities of
reserves to exist and information regarding the
results of activities. We assessed this through
interviews with key operational and finance
personnel and announcements made by the
Group to the ASX.

• We looked for consistency regarding the

existence of reserves to the treatment of E&E
and the requirements of the accounting
standard.

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)

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 Chairman’s Report, Corporate, Duketon Gold Project,
Gold Exploration 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 and our related assurance opinion.

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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board website at:
