What else do investors need to know?
Regis continued to maintain a strong safety record, with its twelve-month rolling lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) at 0.32 per million hours, well below the Western Australian gold industry average. No significant environmental incidents were reported.
Growth capital expenditure guidance for FY26 was increased to $240–255 million, mainly due to bringing forward pre-strip activity at Buckwell and higher diesel prices. The company is also progressing development across its underground operations at both Duketon and Tropicana, and work continues to advance the McPhillamys project, which remains subject to an ongoing judicial review.
What did Regis Resources management say?
Managing Director and CEO Jim Beyer said:
The March quarter delivered another period of consistent performance across Duketon and Tropicana, with both operations performing in line with forecasts ensuring the business continues to generate strong cash flow in the current gold price environment… The strength of our operating performance and balance sheet leaves Regis well positioned to continue investing in value accretive growth across the portfolio, while maintaining the financial discipline and flexibility that has always underpinned our approach to capital management. Our cash and bullion balance of $1.13 Billion at the end of the quarter speaks to this strength, enabling the capital management policy that was announced during the quarter. These benefits are clearly illustrated by the declaration of a 15cps interim dividend, for a total of $114M, which was paid after quarter end.
What's next for Regis Resources?
Looking ahead, Regis expects to remain within its full-year production and cost guidance range, although ongoing higher diesel prices may push AISC towards the upper end. Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve growth at both Duketon and Tropicana continues to underpin the company's strategy for operational life extension and value creation.
Regis plans to maintain its capital management focus, with upcoming dividends or potential share buybacks guided by its new capital policy. Development activity will stay focused on underground projects and advancing McPhillamys, pending resolution of the judicial review.
