Regal Resources Inc. announced the company has received formal approval from the US Forest Service for the drilling of the company's Patagonia/Sunnyside project. The proposed program calls for drilling a minimum of 6 holes and is designed to methodically test for extensions of the skarn mineralization at depth. The program is expected to start in September 2014.

Proposed Work Program on the Patagonia/Sunnyside Project This proposed priority target is the deep massive sulfide skarn zone. Regal intends to re-enter possible open holes at TCH 2 and TM 13. At approximately 762 metres (2,500 feet), the drill will spur off to the southeast in hole TCH 2 and to the west in TM 13.

The company anticipates intersecting the ore zone 1174 metres (3,850 feet) to 1829 metres (6,000 feet) in depth. The mineralization associated with this strong skarn alteration is bedded and grades from 5% combined lead- zinc-copper and 99 GPT (~3.5 opt) silver to +18% combined lead-zinc-copper and 283 GPT (~10 opt) silver over thicknesses ranging from 18 to 38 metres (60 to 125 feet). Additional near-surface targets may be tested for disseminated silver-lead-zinc-copper mineralization within the diatreme and copper-silver mineralization within the diatreme and adjacent porphyry intrusive.

Some of the drilling conducted by Asarco indicates disseminated mineralization occurs within the diatreme adjacent to and north of the proposed drilling. In a Society of Economic Geology Special Publication 15, Graybeal and Vickre indicate that low grade silver-lead-zinc-copper mineralization occurs within this geologic environment. This model would be similar to the Penasquito deposit being mined by Goldcorp in Mexico.

Historic core indicate grades in the surrounding area can average 8.5 GPT (0.3 opt) silver, 2% combined lead-zinc-copper and 0.14 GPT (0.005 opt) gold within the diatreme. Copper-silver mineralization occurs south of the proposed drilling. Several historic drill holes have intersected near-surface intervals of chalcocite grading over 0.42% copper from 30 to 61 metres (100 to 200 feet) thick.
