CLARIFICATION – REGIS’ UNDERGROUND GROWTH PROJECTS
Regis Resources Limited ( ASX:RRL, “Regis”) refers to its announcement released on 6 May 2024 titled “Development Approval for Two Underground Mines” ( the Announcement ).
The Duketon complex comprises Duketon North and Duketon South, and is made up of operating surface and two underground mines. The Duketon complex has Total Mineral Resources of 65Mt @ 1.2g/t for 2,460 koz of contained gold and Total Ore Reserves of 26Mt @ 1.1g/t for 950 koz of contained gold[1] .
The Duketon complex has been producing gold for over a decade. During FY23, the Duketon complex produced 327 koz[2] of gold and is forecast to produce 280 to 305 koz of gold in FY24[3] .
The underground operations at Rosemont commenced in 2019 and underground operations at Garden Well commenced in 2020. Rosemont Stage 3 and Garden Well Main are extensions of the two existing underground mines. Current exploration activities indicate that the same mineralisation continues down plunge from both Garden Well Main and Rosemont Stage 3. Having regard to its experience of mining this mineralisation, its knowledge of the local geology and history of successful production, resource growth and conversion, Regis is confident in its ability to continue to expand its underground mining operations at the Duketon complex.
The Rosemont Stage 3 and Garden Well Main extensions are components of the Regis organic growth strategy and both extensions will complement the existing surface and underground mines comprising the Duketon complex, delivering ore to the two Duketon South processing plants. While the production targets of Garden Well Main and Rosemont Stage 3 contained in the Announcement are based on proportions of Indicated Mineral Resources, Inferred Mineral Resources and Exploration Targets, which are separately detailed in the Announcement, Regis confirms that the Inferred Mineral Resources and Exploration Targets are not the determining factors in the viability of each extension project.
