2309 GMT - Regis Resources endured a difficult 3Q, but its improved cash position shows a decision to stop hedging gold prices was the right one, Bell Potter says. Regis added some A$31 million of cash in 3Q, equal to around A$342/oz. "This is a big improvement and, together with the rise in the gold price since closure of the hedge book (when spot A$ gold was A$3,050/oz), vindicates Regis's decision to close it," analyst David Coates says in a note. Regis needs to produce 105,000 oz of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of A$2,350/oz or better to meet the low end of production and high end of cost guidance, Bell Potter estimates. "This looks achievable, as both September and December quarters achieved better than this," the bank says. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
