REGIS RECORDS $68.8M (PRE TAX) HALF YEAR PROFIT
The board of Regis Resources Limited is pleased to announce a profit before tax of $68.8 million and profit after tax of $47.7 million for the half year ended 31 December 2014.
Summary of financial results:

| #excludes Rosemont gold sales capitalised during commissioning phase. |
• The profit before tax result of $68.8 million was up 5% on the prior period. This was due to increased production from a full six months of operations at Rosemont combined with higher production at Moolart Well. Moolart Well production was up 11% from the prior period due to an increase in grade of the ore treated. Offsetting the increase in revenue from higher production was a 4% decline in the price of gold achieved from $1,491 per ounce to $1,426 per ounce as well as higher costs of production at the Duketon Gold Project. The cash cost of production for the half year of $763 per ounce was 6% higher than the prior period cost of $723/oz. This was the result of a lower milled head grade achieved during the period at Garden Well of 0.95g/t compared to 1.16g/t in the prior period as well as a 7% fall in recovery rates to 81% in the December 2014 half year.

Review and Results of Operations
Results
Consolidated net profit after tax for the half-year was $47,672,000 (2013: $45,693,000).
Operations
Moolart Well
Operations at the Moolart Well Gold Mine produced 58,030 ounces of gold at a pre-royalty cash cost of production of $538 per ounce1 (2013: $585 per ounce).
Operating results for the 6 months to December 2014 at the Moolart Well Gold Mine were as follows:
| 31 December 2014 | 31 December 2013 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Ore mined | Tonnes | 1,452,448 | 1,448,403 |
| Ore milled | Tonnes | 1,452,450 | 1,408,332 |
| Head grade | g/t | 1.33 | 1.23 |
| Recovery | % | 93 | 93 |
| Total production | Ounces | 58,030 | 51,909 |
Production at Moolart Well for the six months to 31 December 2014 was 12% higher than the corresponding period due predominately to an increase in grade of the ore treated. The milled grade for the half year of 1.33g/t was reflective of the ore scheduled to be mined for the period. The grade over the next 6 months to 30 June 2015 is expected to trend lower towards the life of mine grade.
Garden Well
The Garden Well Gold Mine produced 57,053 ounces of gold in the first half of the year at a pre-royalty cash cost of $1,015 per ounce1 (2013: $807 per ounce).
Garden Well Gold Mine operating results for the 6 months to December 2014 were as follows:
| 31 December 2014 | 31 December 2013 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Ore mined | Tonnes | 3,378,019 | 3,257,183 |
| Ore milled | Tonnes | 2,320,275 | 2,535,107 |
| Head grade | g/t | 0.95 | 1.16 |
| Recovery | % | 81 | 87 |
| Total production | Ounces | 57,053 | 81,681 |
1 Cash cost per ounce is calculated as costs of production relating to gold sales (Note 5(b)), excluding gold in circuit inventory movements and the cost of royalties divided by gold ounces produced. This measure is included to assist investors to better understand the performance of the business. Cash cost per ounce is a non-IFRS measure, and where included in this report, has not been subject to review by the Group's external auditors.
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Production at Garden Well during the half year was affected by low recovery rates due to the treatment of a relatively small area of transitional ore containing higher than normal base metals and highly reactive sulphides. Metallurgical testing confirmed that the very low recovery ore is contained in a discrete area in the southern end of the pit. Since identifying this problematic ore and the effect it has on recovery rates the Company has attempted to isolate the ore from treatment. However the problematic ore has tended to be some of the softer and higher grade ore for the six months which impacted the milled grade and throughput achieved for the period.
Rosemont Gold
The Rosemont Gold Mine produced 53,800 ounces of gold in the first half of the year at a pre-royalty cash cost of $737 per ounce1 .
Operating results at the Rosemont Gold Mine for the 6 months to December 2014 were as follows:
| 31 December 2014(6 months) | 31 December 2013(2 months) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Ore mined | Tonnes | 1,101,155 | 299,439 |
| Ore milled | Tonnes | 1,121,580 | 305,714 |
| Head grade | g/t | 1.63 | 0.99 |
| Recovery | % | 91 | 85 |
| Total production | Ounces | 53,800 | 8,259 |
Rosemont Stage 1 construction was completed in October 2013 with first ore pumped through to the Garden Well processing facility late in that month. Rosemont Stage 2, being the construction of the balance of a full processing plant for Rosemont at Garden Well, was commissioned in June 2014. During the half year to 31 December 2014, mill throughput rates have improved from 2.0mtpa to a record annualised rate of 2.3mtpa which, coupled with the strong grade performance, has resulted in a solid half year of operations at Rosemont.
Exploration
Exploration activities at the Duketon Gold Project in Western Australia focussed on the Moolart Well, Erlistoun, Rosemont and Dogbolter deposits during the period.
Moolart Well
The Moolart Well deposit has significant Inferred oxide resources north of the Stirling and Lancaster open pits. Drilling at Moolart Well during the period focussed on RC resource infill drilling on the Wellington Oxide Resource to reduce the drill hole spacing from 50 by 50 metre to 25 by 25 metre pattern spacing across the inferred resource. This drilling is part of Regis' ongoing mining inventory replacement strategy and will be incorporated in mining studies for Wellington in due course. A total of 21 RC holes for 3,138 metres were drilled during the period. The work is continuing and will form the basis of resource estimations and pit optimisations in due course.
Erlistoun
The Erlistoun gold resource is currently defined by a 40 by 40 metre and 40 by 20 metre drill pattern. Gold mineralisation is hosted in narrow quartz veins which dip shallowly to the west at ~40 . Zones of supergene mineralisation occur in discrete pods where the gold mineralisation structure comes into contact with the weathering horizons. RC infill resource drilling commenced during the period to reduce the drill spacing to 40 by 20 metre and 20 by 20 metre and to better define the discrete zones of high grade gold mineralisation. A total of 125 RC holes for 12,902 metres were drilled during the period.
Results received from this programme of drilling are encouraging and will be used to refine mineralised boundaries and define high grade pods between old holes drilled previously on a 40 by 40 metre grid. Anomalous results on the acquired mining lease contiguous to the south of the deposit indicate mineralisation continues along strike at least 200 metres south of the current resource and is still open to the south. To date, 34 holes have tested the mineralised structure on this lease and RC drilling will continue to follow up these results.
Rosemont
A total of 14 holes for 1,127 metres of RC drilling were completed at Rosemont to test a mineralised western quartz dolerite unit located 30 metres west of the main lode, in and around the southern extremities of the current
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Rosemont Main open pit design. Results from these holes, when received, and further planned drilling will be assessed to determine any opportunity to make modest additions to the in pit mining inventory in due course.
Dogbolter
The Dogbolter deposit (Inferred Resource of 0.9MT at 2.91g/t Au for 87,000 ounces) is located 12 kilometres south of the Moolart Well processing facility and is currently defined by a 40 by 40 metre to 40 by 20 metre drill pattern. Gold mineralisation dips shallowly to the east at 30-40 and is associated with a diorite intrusion close to an ultramafic contact. Small high grade pods are associated with the intersection of mineralised structures and weathering horizons.
A programme of RC drilling commenced during the period to target the high grade gold mineralisation in the shallow oxide zone. This programme of drilling is part of the Company's strategy to develop the numerous satellite deposits across the Duketon tenement package to provide incremental feed to the three operating mills in the district. A total of 20 RC holes were drilled during the period for 1,875 metres. Further drilling will be conducted on the Dogbolter deposit with the aim of adding future mining inventory to the Moolart Well processing facility.
Duketon Regional Exploration
A programme of regional exploration drilling commenced during the half year ended 31 December 2014. A total of 140 holes of aircore drilling for 7,425 metres were completed. Analytical results received to date have reported no anomalous results. Results are pending for 98 holes of aircore drilling completed at Moolart Well North.
Corporate
Gold Sales
During the half-year ended 31 December 2014, the Company sold 164,821 ounces of gold at an average price of $1,424 per ounce (2013: 138,611 ounces at an average price of $1,488 per ounce).
Debt Repayment
Cash flow from operations during the period facilitated the repayment in December 2014 of $20 million of the Company's $40 million debt balance. Cash and bullion receivable at 31 December 2014 (after debt repayment) was $23,748,000 (June 2014: $14,220,000).
Events After Balance Date
Subsequent to period end, the Company restructured its existing debt facility with Macquarie Bank Limited. The revised terms have relaxed the restrictions around the payment of dividends during the term of the facility and amended the repayment terms of the $20 million outstanding loan balance from three annual repayments in June 2015 to June 2017, to one repayment on 30 June 2017.
Auditor's Independence Declaration
The auditor's independence declaration as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on the following page and forms part of the Directors' Report for the half-year ended 31 December 2014.

7. INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
The availability period for draw downs on the Macquarie Bank Limited ("MBL") debt facility ended on 1 December 2014, at which point $40 million was drawn of the $70 million available. During December 2014, repayments totaling $20 million were made against the outstanding principal. These prepayments had the effect of proportionately reducing the amounts payable under the current amortisation schedule. At 31 December 2014, a principal repayment of $3,635,000 is due on 30 June 2015 with the final repayment of $9,090,000 due on 30 June 2017.
During the half-year ended 31 December 2014, MBL and the Company agreed to a reduction in the performance bond facility limit from $30 million to $1 million due to the compulsory introduction of the Mining Rehabilitation Fund ("MRF") levy scheme from 1 July 2014 and the removal of the requirement to provide environmental performance bonds to the Department of Mines and Petroleum in Western Australia.

Independent auditor's review report to the members of Regis Resources Limited
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim financial report of Regis Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2014, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes 1 to 13 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year's end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors' responsibility for the interim financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Regis Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of Regis Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
