2335 GMT - Capex requirements for Regis Resources's McPhillamys gold project now look so high that Macquarie thinks they could be a real hurdle for its near-term development. Regis has announced an updated definitive feasibility study that estimates capex of A$960 million-A$1.06 billion to bring the mine into production. "In our view, investor focus will swing back to the existing business units where we expect Regis will generate 80% of its capex in free cash flow over the next five years," Macquarie says in a note. The bank removes McPhillamys from its base case for Regis, while retaining an outperform call on the stock. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
