Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL) shares are pushing higher today.
Shares in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) gold stock closed yesterday trading for $6.00. In morning trade on Tuesday, shares are changing hands for $6.04 apiece, up 0.7%. This sees the share price up 203.5% since this time last year.
And that's not including the 5 cents a share in full franked dividends the gold miner paid eligible shareholders yesterday. This marked the first dividend payout from Regis Resources since 2022.
For some context, the ASX 200 is down 0.1% today and up 9.3% over 12 months.
Atop the miner's own operational successes, Regis Resources shares have been catching tailwinds from the surging gold price. The gold price again notched new record highs today, with the yellow metal currently trading for US$3,972.98 per ounce. That's up 50% in one year.
Now, here's what's grabbing ASX investor interest today.

Regis Resources shares lift on cash and bullion build
Regis Resources shares are in the green following the release of the gold miner's unaudited September quarter update preview.
The company reported total gold production for the three months of 90,400 ounces. That's in line with management's expectations.
Breaking that down, Regis produced 58,400 ounces of gold from its 100% owned Duketon project, and 31,900 ounces from its 30% owned Tropicana gold mine.
Regis has previously issued FY 2026 gold production guidance in the range of 350,000 to 380,000 ounces. The September figures would indicate it's on track to meet that guidance.
Regis Resources shares also look to be getting a lift today with the company reporting it had a total cash and bullion balance of $675 million as at 30 September. This followed what management labelled "an impressive cash and bullion build" of $158 million for the quarter.
The company is debt-free and unhedged to the gold price.
The ASX 200 gold stock will release its full September quarterly results on 23 October.
What's been sending the ASX 200 gold stock surging?
Atop the rocketing gold price, Regis Resources shares have been lifting off amid its own record metrics.
In FY 2025, the gold miner achieved all-time high gold sales of $1.65 billion from 375,000 ounces of gold sold at an average price of AU$4,387 per ounce.
On the bottom line, this saw the ASX 200 gold stock report a record net profit after tax of $254 million.
Looking to what's ahead for Regis Resources shares in FY 2026, managing director Jim Beyer said in late August:
In FY26 we will stay focused on reliable, consistent and safe production with cost discipline. We will allocate capital to the highest return projects across our business, optimise asset performance to sustain cash generation and continue to strengthen our balance sheet.
