OUTLOOK

Drilling to continue in 2016

 Target gold mineralisation at depth in fresh rock zone

Test north to Chert Ridge

 Test continuity of shear zones 600m to the south

Beamish?

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

2828

RECAP OF PRESENTATION

  • FY2016 1H gold production 150,960 ounces at AISC of A$946/oz

  • Production run rate at upper end of FY16 guidance 275-305koz

  • AISC below lower end of FY16 guidance of $970-1,070/oz

  • Consistent production and cost performance at all operations

  • Strong operating cashflows ($95.8m for FY 2016 1H) enables cash build and substantial fully franked dividend payments ($50m paid in last 6 months)

  • Significant extensions of mine life achieved in particular at Moolart where it has been extended to around 5 years (New reserves of 361koz in 10.6Mt announced today)

  • Continued exciting exploration results at Duketon including Idaho & Tooheys Well (eg intercept of 72m @ 2.73g/t Au announced yesterday at Tooheys)

  • Potential to add significant resource ounces along the highly prospective shears where previous drilling is sparse and in some cases ineffective

  • Exploration success, available milling capacity and tight costs structures point to future extensions of mine life at all three operations

  • Work continuing to secure infrastructure required for McPhillamys project

MID POINT SUMMARY

  • Production 290koz

  • Cash cost $860/oz

  • AISC $1,020

  • GW tonnes, grade & recovery up on 2015. Stripping ratio sharply lower.

  • Grade at MW lower than 2015 as oxide extensions optimised in.

  • 2016 RMT grade 1.23g/t lower than LOM grade 1.35g/t due to scheduling

  • 2016 RMT stripping ratio 9.7 higher than LOM 5.6 due to cut backs for expanded reserves.

2016F operating cashflow ≈ A$150m at mid-point AISC and current (A$1,550/oz) gold price
