  • High grade results continue, resource estimation in Dec15Q

  • Idaho – 2.2km north of Baneygo

    • Reconnaissance regional drilling – significant results
  • Early indications of potential of >12km Rosemont-Baneygo shear

  • Tooheys Well – 2.5km south of Garden Well mill

    • Very high grade results, drilling continuing to find extent
  • Coopers – 11km south of Moolart Well mill

    • Significant results continue, resource estimation Dec15Q
  • Rosemont south underground

    • Significant results show continuity of gold mineralization

    • Appears high grade shoot plunging north not south as previously thought

  • Commenced 20,000m drill out of Gloster Gold Deposit

McPHILLAMYS (NSW)

FOCUS ON KEY INFRASTRUCTURE BEFORE MOVE TO PFS

==> picture [367 x 348] intentionally omitted <==

  • 250km west of Sydney

  • Gold resource 2.2Moz  100% Regis owned

  • Conceptual studies show viable project

  • Current focus on key infrastructure

  • Will then move to PFS  Well established gold mining district • Cadia +40Moz Newcrest • Cowal +3Moz Evolution • Northparkes +2Moz* China Moly

  • Intrinsic portfolio value • Large undeveloped gold resource in Australia – rare and getting rarer!

  • • Low stripping ratio and geological continuity at depth give the in pit resource significant leverage to gold price upside

  • • Medium term development proposition

==> picture [57 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

  • Recent quoted resources from public information

20 20

RECAP

  • Duketon operations steady state and optimising

  • Strong cash-flow underpinning dividends and growth

  • Minimal capital reinvestment required at the Duketon operations

  • Continued exciting exploration results at Duketon

  • Including Baneygo, Idaho, Tooheys Well & Coopers

  • Pointing to extensions of mine life at all three operations

  • Advantage of processing capacity – “ex-capex” developments

  • Bolt on acquisitions to leverage off processing capacity

  • Work continuing to secure infrastructure required for McPhillamys project

Regis business is robust, generating strong free cash-flow with growth opportunities both organic and external
