DUKETON OPERATIONS
Gold production at the Duketon Gold Project for the March 2016 quarter of 75,656 ounces (Dec15Q: 75,544 oz) was the fourth successive quarter gold production above 75,000 ounces. This excellent result, which takes year to date production to 226,616 ounces, sees Regis on track to achieve in the upper end of annual production guidance range of 275,000 - 305,000 ounces.
The pre-royalty cash cost for the quarter of $696 per ounce and the all in sustaining cost (AISC) of $856 per ounce (Dec15Q: cash cost $789/oz and AISC $918/oz) were both below the lower end of annual cost guidance for FY2016. The AISC of $856/oz for the quarter was the fourth consecutive quarter of lower operating costs at the Duketon Gold Project. Efficiencies in mining, particularly with the renegotiation of the extension to the Moolart Well earthmoving contract, have contributed to the reduction in AISC for the quarter. Over the last 12 months reagent and grinding media costs have trended downwards and power costs have reduced significantly with the benefits of a low diesel price positively impacting AISC.
Operating results for the Regis group for the March 2016 quarter were as follows:
| Moolart Well |
Rosemont | Garden Well |
Total | Total Q2 (comparative) |
|

1 AISC calculated on a per ounce of production basis
The Garden Well Gold Mine produced 31,801 ounces of gold at an all in sustaining cost of $979 per ounce which was a result very consistent with the previous quarter. The project is performing in line with management expectations and pleasingly the March 2016 quarter was the highest gold production and lowest AISC for Garden Well since the December 2013 quarter.
The Rosemont Gold Mine continued to outperform with another strong quarter of operations producing 26,347 ounces of gold at an all in sustaining cost of $650 per ounce. The strong performance at Rosemont continued to be underpinned by above budget mill throughput and higher processed grade. Gold production increased by 7% from the previous quarter as a result of an almost 10% increase to the head grade of the processed ore. The increased grade is due to mining in the high grade central part of the Rosemont Main Pit during the quarter.
Year to date expansionary capital of $9.9 million has been spent on the major cutback in the Rosemont Main pit. This cost was excluded from AISC as per original FY2016 guidance.
Production at the Moolart Well Gold Mine was in line with budget producing 17,508 ounces of gold with all in sustaining costs of $941 per ounce. Gold production at Moolart Well declined by 9% from the December 2015 quarter as a result of an 8% lower processed head grade. The milled grade for the quarter of 0.83g/t was reflective of the ore scheduled to be mined during the period. Despite the lower production for the quarter, all in sustaining costs fell by 5% to $941 per ounce.

Development work is underway at the Gloster Project where, subject to final statutory approvals, it is expected that mining will commence in the September 2016 quarter and first gold production in the December 2016 quarter. During the quarter purchasing of infrastructure to support the project commenced, bores for dewatering and water supply for mine operations have been established and the haul road construction contract was awarded. Gloster is expected to add in the order of three years of additional mill feed to the Moolart Well processing plant at a production rate of approximately 70,000 ounces per annum. This will extend the current Moolart Gold Mine mine life beyond the FY2020 financial year and provide the longevity required for the Company to expedite regional exploration efforts with a view to extending the mine life further through discovery.
CORPORATE
Half Year Results
In February 2016 Regis announced a profit before tax of $64.4 million and profit after tax of $46.0 million for the half year ended 31 December 2015. On the back of this strong profit result and an operating cash-flow of $95.8 million, the Company announced an interim fully franked dividend of 4 cents per share.
Cash Position
The Duketon project generated strong operating cash flow of $56.5 million in the March 2016 quarter. In February 2016 the Company paid a $20 million fully franked interim dividend of 4 cents per share. Pleasingly the cash and bullion balanced increased by $8.2 million during the March 2016 quarter to $106.7 million after the payment of the $20 million interim dividend, exploration expenditure of $4.8 million, $8.2 million in income tax payments and payment of $1.4 million for listed equity investments. The below waterfall chart highlights the movement in the Company’s cash reserves over the quarter.

Gold Sales & Hedging
During the March 2016 quarter, Regis sold 69,721 ounces of gold at an average price of A$1,638 per ounce (Dec 15 qtr: 75,237 ounces at A$1,567 per ounce). The Company had a gold hedging position at the end of the quarter of 374,480 ounces, being 96,458 ounces of flat forward contracts with a delivery price of A$1,447 per ounce and 278,021 ounces of spot deferred contracts with a price of A$1,524 per ounce.
Diesel Hedging
The board of Regis advises that the Company recently took advantage of historically low oil prices by entering into a commodity swap transaction to partially hedge future fluctuations in the AUD diesel price for the operating requirements of the Duketon Gold Project.
A chart showing the history of the benchmark oil price (WTI crude in USD) and the base diesel price* (AUD$/litre) paid by Regis on a monthly basis (before delivery charges) since the start of FY2012 is shown below. This shows the strategic medium term risk management and value proposition presented by the diesel hedging programme undertaken.
* Base diesel price represents Singapore Gasoil 10ppm (the product Regis purchases) expressed in AUD. Base price does not include Government excise, GST (both claimable) or freight.

The total amount hedged over the 12 month period represents approximately two thirds of total annual usage at the Duketon operations.
Investment in Capricorn Metals Limited
During the March 2016 quarter Regis participated in a placement in junior explorer Capricorn Metals Limited (Capricorn) which owns the Karlawinda Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Through participation in the placement the Company invested $1.27 million to acquire a 9.9% stake in Capricorn.
Director Appointment and Retirement
In February 2016 the Company announced the appointment of Mr James Mactier as a non-executive director. Mr Mactier has had a distinguished career in banking, having been joint head of the Metals and Energy Capital Division of Macquarie Bank Limited for fifteen years until his retirement from the bank in April 2015.
In March 2016, the Company announced that Mr Nick Giorgetta will retire as a non-executive director of the Company effective 29 April 2016. Mr Giorgetta will retain an active involvement in the resources industry through his Chairmanship of the Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum but otherwise will not be seeking any further public corporate roles.
Share Buy Back
The Company has not purchased any of its shares under the share buy-back programme announced in the June 2015 quarter.

RESERVES AND RESOURCES
Maiden Reserves at Gloster & Baneygo
In March 2016 Regis announced a 361,000 ounces increase to the Ore Reserve base at the Duketon Gold Project following the estimation of maiden Ore Reserves at the Gloster and Baneygo gold projects. This addition to Ore Reserves more than replaces the expected production for the 2016 financial year and confirms the ongoing success of Regis’ growth strategy at Duketon.
A breakdown of the maiden Ore Reserves is shown below:
| Project | Tonnes (Mt) | Gold Grade (g/t) | Gold Metal (koz) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloster | 7.0 | 1.00 | 226 |
| Baneygo | 3.6 | 1.16 | 136 |
Rounding errors may occur
The Ore Reserves have been estimated after completion of comprehensive studies which included:
-
The concept of open pit mining, road haulage to, and processing at, existing processing plants;
-
pit optimisation using wall angles based on geotechnical drill holes and independent geotechnical advice;
-
pit design including provision of ramps, waste dumps and surface water management structures;
-
bulk densities and metallurgical parameters from test work;
-
mining costs based on contractor quotation;
-
road haulage based on contractor estimates;
-
processing, administration and other costs based on current Duketon operating costs; and
-
optimisations at a gold price of A$1400 per ounce.
Key results of the reserve studies include:
| **Physical ** | **Gloster ** | Baneygo |
|---|---|---|
| Totalpitvolume (Mbcm) | 14.4 | 11.6 |
| StripRatio (waste bcm:ore bcm) | 3.0 | 6.0 |
| Ore tonnes (Mt) | 7.0 | 3.6 |
| Ore grade (g/t) | 1.00 | 1.16 |
| Contained Ounces (koz’s) | 226 | 136 |
| Processing Recovery (%) | 90% | 92% |
| Recovered Ounces (koz’s) | 203 | 125 |
It is envisaged that open cut mining of both deposits will provide supplementary ore supply over several years for the existing Moolart Well and Garden Well processing plants. There will be numerous synergies in utilising Regis’s existing mining teams and earthmoving contractor. Developing these mines will require only a modest capital investment for minor infrastructure and haul road construction.
The Gloster Ore Reserve has been estimated to a maximum pit depth of 130 metres while Baneygo extends to a depth of 106 metres. 70% of the contained gold at Gloster is in the oxide zone within 80 metres of surface.
Subject to final statutory approvals it is projected that mining should commence in the September 2016 quarter. Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Board gave approval to the development of the project subject to final statutory approvals. The Gloster deposit will be mined with ore hauled

overland to the 2.5 - 3mtpa Moolart Well processing plant and is expected to produce in the order of 70,000 ounces of gold per annum for approximately three years.
Regis will schedule the mining of the Baneygo deposit in conjunction with the other satellite deposits in the vicinity of the Garden Well and Rosemont processing plants where the Company has milling capacity in the order of 5mtpa and 2.5mtpa respectively. Baneygo is expected to produce around 70,000 ounces per annum for two years.
All in sustaining costs for both projects are expected to be similar to existing Duketon operating projects which are forecast to be between $970-1,070 per ounce for the 2016 financial year.
Resource Update
In March 2016 an updated Mineral Resource estimate was completed at Gloster in compliance with the 2012 JORC Code and Guidelines. The Resource estimate was completed in-house using the Ordinary Kriging estimation technique based on 73,253 metres of drilling of which approximately 30% was completed by the recent infill drill program. This estimate has been validated by an independently completed estimation using Multiple Indicator Kriging.
The updated Mineral Resource estimate at Gloster of 21.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.77g/t Au for 528,000 ounces of gold represents a 45% increase in contained ounces from the previous Mineral Resource estimate completed in 1997.
A cross section with updated Regis 25m x 25m RC drill results from the December 2015 quarter as announced on the ASX on the 14[th] of January 2016 showing the nature of gold mineralisation at Gloster is shown below.

Significant exploration projects advanced during the quarter at Duketon are outlined below.
Tooheys Well Gold Project
The Tooheys Well gold prospect is located on a granted Mining Lease, 2.5km south of the Garden Well gold mine. Gold mineralisation was previously defined in two north south trending Western and Eastern shear zones 100 metres apart hosted in chert and fine grained sediments. RC drilling in the December 2015 quarter defined high grade gold mineralisation along the Eastern shear zone and this was followed-up with further RC and initial DD drilling in the March 2016 quarter.
A programme of 19 RC holes (RRLTWRC068-070 and 079-094) for 3,584m and 4 DD holes (RRLTWRCD021, 058, 064, 080) for 443m was drilled in the March 2016 quarter to follow-up gold mineralisation in the Eastern shear zone. Gold analytical results were received for holes RRLTWRC065-089 with results pending for the remaining 5 holes.
Significant new drilling results received during the quarter include:
-
67m @ 2.18g/t Au from 126m in hole RRLTWRC065
-
o27m @ 1.78g/t Au from 58m RRLTWRC067o32m @ 1.56g/t Au from 58m RRLTWRC068o16m @ 3.35g/t Au from 118m RRLTWRC068o31m @ 1.48g/t Au from 95m RRLTWRC069o17m @ 1.92g/t Au from 155m RRLTWRC069o31m @ 3.46g/t Au from 186m RRLTWRC070o16m @ 1.72g/t Au from 66m RRLTWRC072o72m @ 2.73g/t Au from 131m RRLTWRC079o11m @ 3.43g/t Au from 50m RRLTWRC082o14m @ 2.10g/t Au from 51m RRLTWRC083o17m @ 2.82g/t Au from 101m RRLTWRC086o25m @ 2.09g/t Au from 170m RRLTWRC087o36m @ 2.73g/t Au from 202m RRLTWRC089* -
* Not previously announced
The recent drilling has confirmed and extended at depth significant gold mineralisation in the Eastern shear zone which is now mineralised over a strike length of 450m from 6909140mN to 6909500mN based on a 40m x 20m drilling pattern and for a further 160m south based on an 80m x 20m drilling pattern.
The eastern shear zone mineralisation appears to have steeply dip of 80-90° to the east. Host rocks are BIF/chert and shale and weathering extends to 80 to 100m vertical depth.
Logging of the four recently completed diamond core holes has improved the understanding of mineralisation at Tooheys Well. Gold mineralisation is associated with pyrrhotite hosted in Banded Iron Formation (“BIF”) which now appears to be the dominant lithology at Tooheys Well. Pyrrhotite phase is restricted to BIF’s, and has replaced magnetite during hydrothermal alteration.
The eastern shear zone is untested for 600m to the south and is open down dip. The western shear zone was not drilled in the March 2016 quarter and is also untested to the south and north.

RC and DD drilling will continue in the June 2016 quarter to determine the continuity of gold mineralisation in the Eastern shear zone. Further RC drilling is also planned to test the Western shear zone at depth and along strike. RC drilling is also planned for the Western Shear zone.
Drill testing is also planned along strike from Tooheys Well to the north where the Eastern Shear is interpreted to join with the gold mineralised shear zones at Chert Ridge approximately 2.5 km away. Chert Ridge is located on the hanging-wall side of the Garden Well Shear. Gold mineralisation at Chert Ridge is hosted in a steeply east dipping shear and fracture zones in chert, shale and BIF which is identical to the mineralisation settings at Tooheys Well.
40 mineralised samples (including oxidised, transition and fresh samples) have been collected from Tooheys Well and submitted to an independent laboratory for preliminary metallurgical test work. Preliminary results indicate the majority of the gold is recoverable using standard CIL gold processing techniques.
Gloster Gold Project
The Gloster gold deposit located 26km west of Moolart Well was acquired by Regis in the June 2015 quarter. Gloster was historically mined from 1902-1908 and was extensively drilled from 1984-1996. As noted above, an updated Resource estimate and maiden Ore Reserve estimate was completed at Gloster during the quarter.
In addition an RC drilling programme of 75 holes for 6,786m was undertaken during the quarter.
Page 11
Quarterly Report to 31 March 2016

Gold results received from this drilling programme include:
-
7m @ 1.41g/t Au from 7m in hole RRLGLRC183
-
o3m @ 7.33g/t Au from 36m RRLGLRC213o24m @ 1.70g/t Au from 11m RRLGLRC186o10m @ 1.41g/t Au from 23m RRLGLRC241o12m @ 1.10g/t Au from 16m RRLGLRC245
These results will be interpreted to test the potential for economic gold mineralisation east of the current pit design and to sterilize ground to the west for waste dump development.
Idaho Gold Project
The Idaho Gold Prospect is located 2.2km to the north along strike of the existing Baneygo Beacon pit. Gold results in the December 2015 quarter highlighted the potential for further infill drilling and testing along strike. A first pass RC drill programme continued in the March 2016 quarter to test the economic potential of gold mineralisation within the quartz-dolerite. This unit is the strike continuation of the gold mineralised quartz-dolerite at Baneygo.
A total of 40 holes were drilled (RRLIHRC077-116) for 4,457m on a 40m x 20m grid over a strike distance of 940m from 6908636mN to 6909580mN. To date 116 RC holes (RRLIHRC001-116) have been drilled for 10,648m at the Idaho gold prospect.
Significant results received in the March 2016 quarter include:
-
19m @ 1.14g/t Au from 80m in hole RRLIHRC079
-
o12m @ 2.54g/t Au from 40m RRLIHRC086o33m @ 2.33g/t Au from 101m RRLIHRC093o26m @ 1.43g/t Au from 36m RRLIHRC026o24m @ 1.25g/t Au from 53m RRLIHRC027o7m @ 4.55g/t Au from 42m RRLIHRC043
The geology at Idaho is similar to Baneygo and Rosemont with gold hosted in a steeply east dipping 345° trending quartz-dolerite unit intruding in an ultramafic sequence. Gold mineralisation is associated with quartz-carbonate-chlorite-sulphide alteration and is restricted to the quartz-dolerite unit which is generally approximately 80m wide. The weathering depth at Idaho is approximately 5060m vertical depth.
Cross sections 6909118mN with updated recent RC drill results showing the nature of gold mineralisation in the quartz-dolerite unit are shown below.

Idaho drilling on oblique cross sections 6909156mN and 6908944mN. Holes drilled towards 254°.
An infill RC drill program of 64 holes for 6,250m commenced early in the June 2016 quarter to reduce drill spacing to 20m x 20m across the resource where required to better constrain strike limited high grade gold intersections, and test the depth extent of gold mineralisation down to 130m below surface. This work is anticipated to lead to a maiden resource estimate for Idaho.
Coopers Gold Project
The Coopers gold prospect is located on a granted Mining Lease 11km south of Moolart Well and 600m north of the Dogbolter deposit, and is located on the same shear zone hosting those two deposits.
Gold mineralisation at Coopers is located in a moderately east dipping shear zone hosted in dolerite and diorite intrusive units near a basalt contact that also dip at 45° to the east. A 5m to 10m transported cover sequence conceals the gold mineralisation and weathering of the basalt and dolerite units extends to 90m depth. Most drilling to date has defined the gold mineralisation in the oxide zone.
A programme of 50 RC holes (RRLCPRC020-069) was drilled for 4,462m in the December 2015 quarter to follow-up anomalous gold mineralisation defined in the September 2015 quarter. 3 RC holes RRLCPRC070-072 for 216m were completed in the March 2016 quarter to reduce the drill spacing at the northern end of the deposit from 40m x 20m to 20m x 20m.
Significant new drilling results received during the quarter include:

o 2m @ 7.24g/t Au from 16m in hole RRLCPRC070 o 12m @ 3.01g/t Au from 26m RRLCPRC070 o 4m @ 6.81g/t Au from 68m RRLCPRC072
Anomalous results from RRLCPRC070-072 show economic gold mineralisation at the northern end of the deposit. Further AC drilling will be conducted to close off these intercepts along strike and updip.
These results will provide enough data to complete a Resource estimation in the June 2016 quarter. A diamond drilling programme is also planned to determine bulk densities and metallurgical and geotechnical work to enable a Reserve estimate to be completed in the June 2016 quarter.
Russell’s Find Gold Project
The Russell’s Find deposit is located 6.5 km south of the Garden Well pit.
Gold mineralisation at Russells Find is contained in steep east dipping quartz-carbonate-biotite veins contained in a package of moderate east dipping carbonated ultramafic with a footwall sequence of chert, BIF and fine grained silicified shale.
A programme of RC drilling at Russells Find was completed during the quarter to validate and extend the current JORC 2004 gold resource of 0.4Mt @ 3.86 g/t for 55 koz Au using a 1 g/t cut. Drilling commenced in January 2016 and by the end of the quarter, 44 RC holes RRLRFRC017-060 have been completed for 7,403m.

McKenzie’s Flat and Kintyre Soak Gold Projects
The McKenzie’s Flat Area is located directly north along strike of Idaho. The area is covered by ~2m of broad sheet wash alluvium. Gold mineralisation occurs within the quartz dolerite unit that is the strike continuation of the gold mineralised quartz dolerite at Idaho-Baneygo.
During the March 2016 quarter, 13 first pass RC holes RRLMKRC001-013 were drilled for 1,404m. Drilling to date has intersected two separate quartz dolerite units, both host moderate gold mineralisation. Analytical results to date indicate the potential for economic gold mineralisation is greatest in the oxide zone.
Drill intercepts along the corridor include: RRLMKRC005: 3m @ 15.44g/t Au from 104-107m and RRLMKRC010: 6m @ 1.93g/t Au from 71-77m. A further 13 RC holes for 1,070m are planned to test the strike continuation of the quartz dolerite units and the potential for economic gold mineralisation in the oxide zone.

The Kintyre prospect is located 3.2 km south of the Rosemont pit. The geology is analogous to that at Rosemont with gold mineralisation hosted within quartz dolerite in a package of steep east dipping mafic-ultramafic units. Narrow zones of gold mineralisation were identified over 600m strike by Aurora Gold (early 1990s) however the majority of drilling only tested to 50m below surface in the oxide zone.
A preliminary RC drilling program of 22 RC holes RRLKIRC001-022 for 2,201m was completed during the current quarter at the Kintyre prospect to validate historical drill intercepts and define the potential for economic gold mineralisation.
Significant results from RC drilling include 15m @ 2.27 g/t Au from 19-34m in RRLKIRC014 and 6m @ 6.38 g/t Au from 33-39m in RRLKIRC022.
RC drilling has defined gold mineralisation over a strike distance of 150-200m.
Duketon Mining Joint Venture
Duketon JV (E38/2231, 2666, 2699, 2737)
A total of 9,516 (-6+2mm) first pass lag soil samples were collected on the Duketon Mining JV tenements to date to complete the first pass programme. This reconnaissance lag sampling was completed on a 400m x 100m grid, and lag sampling across mineralised trends was completed on a 200m x 50m grid.
The first pass sampling programme has now been completed. Gold and pathfinder element results have been received for all of the samples collected. Contouring of gold results has been completed.
Numerous +75ppb Au gold anomalies of interest have been defined that require further investigation and follow up infill lag sampling/mapping and subsequent air core drilling will be reviewed.

| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Gloster: The Gloster gold deposit was sampled using Reverse Circulation (RC) Drill Holes on a nominal 25m east by 25m north initial grid spacing. The current study used the sampling from 75 holes for 6,786m, which were drilled angled -60 degrees to 244 degrees. McKenzie’s Flats and Kintyre Soak: The McKenzie’s Flats and Kintyre Soak Prospects were sampled using Reverse Circulation (RC) on a nominal 40m east by 400m north initial grid spacing, which were predominantly drilled angled -60 degrees to 254- Kintyre/270-McKenzies degrees. Regis has drilled 35 RC holes for 3,605m. Idaho: The Idaho gold deposit was sampled using Reverse Circulation (RC) Drill Holes on a nominal 20m east by 40m north initial grid spacing. Regis has drilled 40 RC holes for 4,457m, which were drilled angled -60 degrees to 254 degrees. Coopers: The Coopers gold prospect was sampled using Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes on a nominal 20m east by 40m north and 20m north grid spacing. Regis has drilled 3 RC holes for 216m, which were drilled angled -60 degrees to 270 degrees. Tooheys Well: The Tooheys Well gold prospect was sampled using Reverse Circulation (RC), drill holes on a nominal 20m east spaced holes on 40m north and 80m north initial grid spacing. Regis has drilled 19 RC holes for 3,908m and 4 DD holes for 443m, which were drilled angled -60 degrees to 270 degrees. Russell’s Find: The Russel’s Find gold deposit was sampled using Reverse Circulation (RC) Drill Holes on a nominal 20m east by 40m north initial grid spacing. Regis has drilled 44 RCholesfor 7,403m,which were drilled angled-60 degrees to254degrees |

| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Gloster, Idaho, Russell’s Find, Coopers, Kintyre, McKenzies and Tooheys Well: RC drilling completed with a 139mm diameter face sampling hammer accounts for 100% of the drilling meters in the project area. Tooheys Well diamond: Surface diamond drilling carried out by using both NQ3 or HQ32 (triple tube) and NQ2 or HQ2 (standard tube) techniques. Core is routinely orientated by REFLEX ACT III tool. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Gloster, Idaho, Russell’s Find, Coopers, Kintyre, McKenzie’s and Tooheys Well: RC recovery was visually assessed, with recovery being excellent except in some wet intervals which are recorded on logs. <1% of the overall mineralised zones have been recorded as wet. Tooheys Well diamond: DD core was measured and compared to the drilled intervals, and recorded as a percentage recovery. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Gloster, Idaho, Russell’s Find, Coopers, Kintyre, McKenzies and Tooheys Well: RC samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination. The drilling contractor utilised a cyclone and splitter to provide uniform sample size, and these were cleaned routinely (cleaned at the end of each rod and more frequently in wet conditions). A booster was also used in conjunction with the RC drill rig to ensure dry samples are achieved. Tooheys Well diamond: The target zones ranged from oxidised rock near surface where recoveries were lower to highly competent fresh rock, where the DD method provided high recovery. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
|---|---|
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Gloster, Idaho, Russell’s Find, Coopers, Kintyre, McKenzies and Tooheys Well: Sample recoveries for RC drilling are visually estimated to be high. No significant bias is expected although no recovery and grade correlation study was completed. Tooheys Well diamond: The DD drill sample recovery in the transitional and fresh rock zones is very high, and no significant bias is expected. Recoveries in the oxidised rock were lower. |
|
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Gloster, Idaho, Russell’s Find, Coopers, Kintyre, McKenzies and Tooheys Well: Lithology, alteration, veining, mineralisation and, on some holes, magnetic susceptibility were logged from the RC chips and saved in the database. Chips from every interval are also placed in chip trays and stored in a designated building at site for future reference. Tooheys Well diamond: Lithology, alteration, veining, mineralisation and geotechnical information were logged from the DD core and saved in the database. Half core from every interval are also retained in the core trays and stored in a designated building at site for future reference. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. All logging is qualitative except for magnetic susceptibility and geotechnical measurements. Wet and dry photographs were completed on the core. |

| Sub- sampling techniques |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. Tooheys Well diamond: Core was half cut with a diamond core saw with the same half always sampled and the surplus retained in the core trays. Non-competent clay zones are sampled as whole core where necessary due to difficulty in cutting. |

| and sample preparation |
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. The RC drilling utilised a cyclone and cone splitter to consistently produce 2.5kg to 3.0kg dry samples. |
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Samples are dried, crushed to 10mm, and then pulverised to 85% passing 75µm (industry standard practice is assumed for the historical drilling). This is considered acceptable for an Archaean gold deposit. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Field duplicates (RC only) were inserted every 20th sample to assess the repeatability and variability of the gold mineralisation. Laboratory duplicates were also completed roughly every 15th sample to assess the repeatability and variability of the gold mineralisation. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Field RC duplicates (RC only) were taken at the rig from a second chute on the cone splitter allowing for the duplicate and main sample to be the same size and sampling technique. Field duplicates are taken every 20th sample. Laboratory duplicates (sample preparation split) were also completed roughly every 15th sample. Field duplicates on core, i.e. other half of cut core, have not been routinely assayed. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. Sample sizes (2.5kg to 3kg) are considered to be a sufficient size to accurately represent the gold mineralisation based on the mineralisation style (hypogene) associated with shearing and supergene enrichment), the width and continuity of the intersections, the sampling methodology, the coarse gold variability and the assay ranges for the gold. Field duplicates have routinely been collected to ensure monitoring of the sub- sampling quality. Acceptable precision and accuracy is noted in the field duplicates albeit the precision is marginally acceptable and consistent with a coarse gold Archaean gold deposit. |
|
| Quality of assay data and |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. Gloster, Baneygo, Idaho, Russell’s Find, Coopers, Kintyre, McKenzies and Tooheys Well: All gold assaying was completed by external commercial laboratories (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Min Analytical and Aurum) using either a 40g or 50g charge for |

fire assay analysis with AAS finish. This technique is industry standard for gold and considered appropriate. Tooheys Well diamond: All gold assaying will be completed by commercial laboratories (Bureau Veritas) using either a 40g or 50g charge for fire assay analysis with AAS finish. This technique is industry standard for gold and considered appropriate. |
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Gloster, Baneygo, Idaho, Russells Find, Kintyre, McKenzies Coopers, and Tooheys Well: Apart from magnetic susceptibility in targeted zones, no other geophysical measurements were routinely made. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. Certified Reference Material (CRM or standards) and blanks were inserted every 25th sample to assess the assaying accuracy of the external laboratories. Field duplicates (RC only) were inserted every 20th sample to assess the repeatability from the field and variability of the gold mineralisation. Laboratory duplicates were also completed approximately every 15th sample to assess the precision of assaying. Evaluation of both the Regis submitted standards, and the internal laboratory quality control data, indicates assaying to be accurate and without significant drift for significant time periods. Excluding obvious errors, the vast majority of the CRM assaying report shows an overall mean bias of less than 5% with no consistent positive or negative bias noted. Duplicate assaying show high levels of correlation and no apparent bias between the duplicate pairs. Field duplicate samples show marginally acceptable levels of correlation and no relative bias. Results of the QAQC sampling were considered acceptable for an Archaean gold deposit. Substantial focus has been given to ensuring sampling procedures met industry best practise to ensure acceptable levels of accuracy and precision were achieved in a coarse gold environment. |

exploration and production positions have visually inspected the significant intersections in RC chips. |
| The use of twinned holes. Coopers, Idaho, Russell’s Find, Kintyre, McKenzies and Tooheys Well: No twinning of holes was completed at this stage. Gloster: The spatial location and assaying accuracy of historical drilling was confirmed with RC and DD twin holes. The Regis RC drilling spatial location and assaying accuracy was also twinned by Regis DD holes. |
|
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. All geological and field data is entered into excel spreadsheets with lookup tables and fixed formatting (and protected from modification) thus only allowing data to be entered using the Regis geological code system and sample protocol. Data is then emailed to the Regis database administrator for validation and importation into a SQL database using Datashed. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Any samples not assayed (i.e. destroyed in processing, listed not received) have had the assay value converted to a -9 in the database. Any samples assayed below detection limit (0.01 ppm Au) have been converted to 0.005 ppm (half detection limit) in the database. |
|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Regis drill hole collar locations were picked up by site-based authorized surveyors using Trimble RTK GPS, calibrated to a base station (expected accuracy of 20mm). Downhole surveying (magnetic azimuth and dip of the drill hole) was measured by the drilling contractors in conjunction with Regis personnel using Reflex EZ-Shot Downhole Survey Instrument. The surveys were completed every 30m down each drill hole. Magnetic azimuth is converted to AMG azimuth (-2 degrees) in the database. |

Gloster, Baneygo, Idaho, Russells Find, Kintyre, McKenzies Coopers and Tooheys Well: The data spacing and distribution is sufficient to demonstrate spatial and grade continuity of the mineralised domains to support the definition of Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources under the 2012 JORC code. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. Gloster, Baneygo, Idaho, Russells Find, Kintyre, McKenzies Coopers and Tooheys Well: No sample compositing has been applied in the field within the mineralised zones. The hanging wall ultramafics at Baneygo were confirmed barren by the phase 1 drilling, therefore subsequent phases utilised the spearing of 4m field composites through this zone. The field composites were assayed at the commercial laboratories with the normal 1m samples from the mineralised zones, with no composites requiring the original 1m sample to be assayed. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. Gloster: The mineralisation at Gloster is moderately dipping to the northeast so drilling is orientated to best suit the mineralisation to be closely perpendicular to both the strike and dip of the mineralisation. Intercepts are close to true-width in all cases. Baneygo: The mineralisation at Baneygo is predominantly sub-vertical dipping to local grid east (associated with shear zone-parallel veining) so drilling is orientated to best suit the mineralisation to be roughly perpendicular to both the strike and dip of the mineralisation. A 20-degree northerly plunge was also identified in the structural logging. Intercepts are close to true-width in most cases, and are not true width where the mineralisation is at its steepest. Structural logging of the orientated core indicates that the shear zone controlling mineralisation is approximately perpendicular to the drilling. Some moderate west dipping veins were also identified as being mineralised, although these are narrow in nature and not considered key mineralised structures. Idaho: The mineralisation at Idaho is sub-vertical dipping to the east so drilling is orientated to best suit the mineralisation to be roughly perpendicular to both the |

| Tooheys Well: | ||
| Minor amounts of drilling by Ashton and Johnsons Well Mining was completed | ||
| although it was mainly shallow and not extensive enough to properly define the | ||

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | Gloster: Gold mineralisation at Gloster is within a NW-SE trending, east dipping shear zone |
| and associated with flat to moderately east dipping quartz veins hosted in felsic | ||
| volcanics. A 5m transported cover sequence conceals the gold mineralisation and | ||
| weathering extends up to 100m depth. Intensive gold leaching has occurred in the | ||
| uppermost 15m of the weathering profile. | ||
| Baneygo: | ||
| The geology is similar to Rosemont with gold hosted in a steeply east dipping 345° | ||
| trending quartz-dolerite unit intruding an ultramafic sequence. Gold mineralisation | ||

| Coopers: | |||
| Gold mineralisation at Coopers is located in a moderately east dipping shear zone | |||
| hosted in dolerite and diorite intrusive units near a basalt contact that also dip at | |||
| 45° to the east. A 5m to 10m transported cover sequence conceals the gold | |||
| mineralisation and weathering of the basalt and dolerite units extends to 90m | |||
| depth. Most drilling to date has defined the gold mineralisation in the oxide zone | |||
| and only two RC holes have tested the fresh rock zone. | |||
| Tooheys Well: | |||
| The geology is similar to Garden Well with gold hosted in a moderately east dipping | |||
| North-South trending chert and fine grained sediment unit. Gold mineralisation is | |||
| associated with shearing at the interface between the chert and shales. | |||
| Weathering depths vary from 20m to 70m vertical depth. | |||

| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. A list of all holes drilled during the quarter attached. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. Idaho, Coopers and Tooheys Well: No other material exploration data to report. Gloster and Baneygo: The Gloster diamond holes were also utilised for bulk density measurements. Geotechnical logging is in progress for determining ground conditions for open pit mining. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Gloster: It is expected some minor follow-up drilling will be required at Gloster in the June 2016 quarter. Baneygo: Nofurtherexplorationdrillingis planned atBaneygointhe June2016 quarter. |
