Regal Resources Limited is set to commence drilling at the Kalongwe Project in the first week of February. A drilling firm has been contracted to complete an initial 11 hole (1,800m) diamond drilling programme. Drill pads have been cleared and the drilling contractor has initiated the mobilisation of equipment to site.

Drilling is expected to take approximately six to eight weeks to complete. Samples from each drill hole will be sent to ALS Laboratories, Johannesburg for analysis with all assay results expected to be available within four weeks of completion of the programme. The purposes of this programme will be to test broad areas of copper and cobalt mineralisation determined and reported from historic drilling over a strike of 450m to a depth of about 250m and testing the continuity of mineralisation between wide-spaced drill holes.

Target areas have been selected on the basis of historic drill results, interpreted shape of mineralisation and mapped geology. Specific holes are designed to verify and to further investigate historic drilling results, which included. PQ and HQ diamond core will be drilled in order to obtain samples for metallurgical test work.
