Jim Beyer, Managing Director and CEO said:

Our exploration teams continue to deliver solid progress across the business. The work completed over the past six months has strengthened our understanding of the underground growth pipeline at Duketon and confirmed further extensions at Tropicana. The team's systematic approach is building confidence by providing a steady flow of opportunities to support future studies, Reserve conversion and long-term mine life planning. We are very encouraged by the results to date and see ongoing potential across our portfolio as drilling continues into the second half of FY26.

What's next for Regis Resources?

Drilling programs are set to continue, with the aim of upgrading resources and unlocking new underground and open pit opportunities. The focus remains on infill conversion, extension drilling, and drilling from new underground platforms, especially at Garden Well, Rosemont Stage 3, Ben Hur, and Tropicana.

Management highlights that the exploration pipeline supports long-term production planning and potential resource growth, with further updates expected as more results are received and assessed.
