Regis Resources Limited


RRL Details

Solid cash position: Regis Resources Limited (ASX: RRL) enhanced its cash and bullion to $106.7 million as at March 2016 against the $98.5 million in the pcp after the payment of dividends of $20 million and purchase of listed equity investments of $1.4 million during the quarter. RRL also made a commodity swap transaction to partially hedge future fluctuations in the AUD diesel price for the operating requirements of the Duketon Gold Project. The continued high grade results obtained during drilling at Tooheys Well point would increase the potential for significant new satellite project for the nearby processing facility. On the other hand, RRL stock surged over 25.45% (as of April 28, 2016) in the last six months placing the stock at unreasonable valuations. Therefore, we give an “Expensive” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $2.90
