Is Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) Undervalued On The McPhillamys Court Ruling?

The trigger for Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) is a Federal Court ruling that a heritage protection declaration over its McPhillamys gold project was invalid, putting fresh attention on the long delayed development.

Regis Resources is now trading at A$7.10, with a 1 day share price gain of 3.65% following the court decision. However, the 30 day share price return is down 7.31% and year to date the move is a decline of 6.95%.

Across a longer stretch, momentum looks stronger, with a 90 day share price return of 25.89% and a three year total shareholder return above 3.5 times that period’s starting value. Board renewal plans announced this week add a governance subplot to the McPhillamys headline.
