MOOLART WELL
-
Q3 production run rate 7% lower than mid point of FY2016 guidance range due to lower scheduled grade
-
YTD production run rate in line with mid point of FY2016 guidance range
-
Strip ratio slightly higher than guidance - availability of bigger excavator to advance prestrip at Wellington
-
All in sustaining cost $941/oz in line with guidance – lower production offset by mining contract extension repricing efficiencies

Oil price peaked at US$110/b in 2013 – now around US$40/b
Regis base diesel price peaked at A$0.95/litre, trending down since 2014 now around A$0.40/litre
- Significant impact on operating unit costs
Regis diesel hedge:
- Diesel is largest individual cost line in operating cost base.
Hedged volume over 12 month period is approx 2/3 of total annual usage at Duketon operations (mining & milling)
-
12 & 18 month hedges undertaken at close to the lowest ever base diesel price recorded at Duketon to date
-
Strong medium term risk management and value creation opportunity
