QUARTERLY REPORT FOR PERIOD

ENDING 30 JUNE 2015

HIGHLIGHTS

Kalongwe Mining Joint Venture

Following the release earlier in the Quarter of strong Scoping Study results highlighting the outstanding

economic potential of the Kalongwe Project the decision was taken to proceed with a full feasibility study.

ALS Metallurgical Laboratories in Perth (Australia) have been engaged to undertake a comprehensive

metallurgical test work programme that will enable a detailed mineral processing flow sheet to be

developed that will be used for HMS plant design improvements.

Kalongwe Mining SA, has been formally advised by the Ministry of Mines that both the technical study

report and the environmental study report submitted to the Ministry of Mines to support an application to

convert the Kalongwe Project (PR 12198) to an exploitation permit for the establishment of a mine and

associated infrastructure have been approved.

A regional exploration programme was commenced to evaluate high value anomalous copper and cobalt-

in-soil results coincident with Kundelungu Fomation (Grant Conglomerate).

Regal-Ivanhoe Joint Venture

A detailed technical review of historic exploration results covering the five (5) exploration permits that

make up the Regal-Ivanhoe Mines Joint Venture (‘’JV’’) was commenced. And fieldwork was started to

investigate areas identified to have potential to host significant mineralisation.

The permits are largely contiguous, and generally surround the Kalongwe Mining Cu-Co Project and have

significant discovery potential for high-grade sediment hosted Cu and Co mineralisation.

Five (5) high priority prospects, some with multiple target areas, have been identified from the technical

review of Ivanhoe data.

Field investigation of the Kambundji Prospect identified copper mineralisation exposed in outcrop and

artisanal workings over a distance of about 200 m. The structure hosting the mineralisation has an

estimated strike extent of 8 km. Rock chip samples collected in the area returned values of up to 4.95% Cu.

Notes:

1. The Cu only domains were reported by selecting blocks with Cu >= 0.5%.

2. The Co only domains were reported by selecting blocks with Co >= 0.2%.

3. The Mixed Domains (blocks located within overlapping Cu and Co domains) were reported by selecting blocks with Cu >= 0.5%. The Co grade from

these blocks was also reported.

*It is assumed for the purposes of this Mineral Resource that Cu grades in the Co only domains, and Co grades in the Cu only domains are 0%,

although low grade mineralisation was recorded in sample assays. Therefore the reported Cu% and Co% grades are diluted, where they are reported

in the other domains.

A Scoping Study (or “the Study”) has been completed that was based on the Measured and Indicated

resource categories of the deposit (ASX: RER, 21 April 2015). The purpose of the Scoping Study was to

evaluate the viability of developing a stand-alone mining operation at Kalongwe utilising a HMS plant

to process high-grade mineralisation during the earlier stages of mine development.

The results of the Study have highlighted the potential to fast track the development of mine at

Kalongwe.

Key Outcomes of the Scoping Study

* Base Case is stated on a post-tax basis assuming 100% project at a copper price of $3.00/lb. All amounts

are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

Ownership of the Project is held by Kalongwe Mining SA (“Kalongwe Mining“), a company currently

owned by Regal (30%), the international commodities trading company Traxys (30%) and La Generale

Industrielle et Commerciale au Congo SPRL (“GICC”) (40%). Exploration and development costs are

jointly funded by Regal and Traxys. Regal is the operator of the JV.

Regal is at an advanced stage in negotiations to increase its interest in Kalongwe Mining to 60% and as

the operator of the JV is focused on fast tracking the development of a mining operation at Kalongwe.

The Project is located in the Katanga Province of the DRC and is situated towards the western end of

the World Class, Central African Copperbelt.

It is some 20 km south from Ivanhoe Mines’ Kamoa deposit (considered to be Africa’s largest recent

high-grade copper discovery) and is approximately 45 km from the copper mining and processing

centre at Kolwezi, (Figure 1).

Feasibility Study

On the basis of the highly encouraging Scoping Study outcomes the decision was taken to proceed to

a full Feasibility Study.

ALS Metallurgical Laboratories in Perth have been engaged to undertake a full metallurgical test work

programme on three sample composites to be prepared from large diameter diamond drill core,

representative of the ore scheduled to be mined over the first five (5) years of the anticipated mine life

The results of the test work will be used to develop a detailed mineral processing flow sheet to facilitate

improvements in the design of the HMS plant.

The Company’s consultant metallurgist has advised that the properties of the Kalongwe ore make it

eminently suitable for heap leaching or agitation leaching. For this reason, the test work programme

will also include an evaluation of the leaching characteristics of the mineralisation.

Permit Conversion

During the Quarter Kalongwe Mining SA (“KM”) was advised by the DRC Ministry of Mines that they

had approved two (2) key documents submitted to the Ministry in April 2015, as part of the application

to convert the Kalongwe project (PR 12198) to an exploitation (mining) licence.

In accordance with DRC Mining Code (2002) and Decree No. 038/2003 of 26 March 2003 (Mining

Regulations), Kalongwe Mining was required to submit an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and

Environmental Management Plan of the Project (EMPP) as well as a technical study that demonstrates:

The existence of a deposit which is economically exploitable on a large scale,

The evidence of the existence of the financial resources necessary to complete the project

successfully, and

The plan for technical supervision of the development, construction and exploitation of the

mine.

The Ministry of Mines has informed KM that both the EIS and EMPP have been approved and the

Director of Mine Services has provided a favourable technical opinion for the development of open pit

mining operation at Kalongwe.

As a consequence of these approvals a recommendation has been sent to the Minister of Mines that

the Kalongwe licence be converted to a mining permit.

Once approval has been received from the Minister, KM will be required to transfer to the DRC State a

5% share of its 100% holding in the Kalongwe permit.

MEDIA / ASX RELEASE

The Mining Code provides that the granting of an exploitation permit which entitles its holder to the

exclusive right to conduct exploration, development, construction and mining activities for those

minerals for which the permit is given. It also allows its holder to build the installations and

infrastructure required for the mining exploitation, use the water and forestry resources inside the

mining perimeter, process, transport and market the minerals.

Exploration Activities

Within the Kalongwe Project area there are a number of fragments of Lower Roan Mine Series rocks, up

to 700 m in length that have been identified from historic regional mapping, (Figure 2). The Lower Mine

Series is host to over 80% of copper deposits in the DRC.

Following the completion of the resource drill out of the Mines Series fragment hosting the Kalongwe

deposit, the exploration effort is now being targeted on testing the other fragments of Mines Series

rocks that outcrop over a distance of 2.5 km, and also to test for potential new zones of copper

mineralisation hosted in the Grand Conglomerate Formation, Nguba Group (host to the world class

Kamoa Cu deposit, located approximately 20 km north-west of Kalongwe) which has been mapped

over the northern half of PR 12198.

During the Quarter a total of five (5) trenches were excavated for a total of 1,350 m, (Figure 2). The

trenches were laid out to cover a broad area of anomalous copper and cobalt in soil anomalies

underlain by the “Grand Conglomerate” rock succession.

Trench #3 and Trench #5 were sited in close proximity to very distinctive vegetation anomalies of the

type in the Central African Copperbelt that are typically associated with high levels of cobalt values in

soils. The areas covered by the vegetation anomalies were investigated for bedrock exposure. A

number of rock samples were collected and submitted to the laboratory for analysis, (Table 1).

A total of 406 channel samples were collected. All samples will initially be dried, crushed and undergo

initial hand-held XRF analysis. Samples that report anomalous values will be submitted to the

laboratory for analysis.

Regal-Ivanhoe Joint Venture (Fold and Thrust Belt Joint Venture / “FTBJV”)

In April 2015, the Company announced it had entered into a JV agreement with Ivanhoe Mines, to

acquire up to a 98% interest in a package of highly prospective tenements located near the western

end of the Central African Copperbelt in the Katanga Province, DRC (ASX: RER, 22 April 2015).

The JV covers an area of approximately 350 sq. km and consists of permits PRs 688, 689, 702, and

portions restricted to the geological domain of the Fold and Thrust Belt of PRs 690 and 701, (Figure 3).

Within the area covered by the JV are regional scale anticlinal folds, faults and thrust structures. These

are considered to offer high quality exploration targets as they can present windows onto the

mineralised rocks of the Lower Roan Mine Series, (Figure 3).

Historical exploration undertaken by Ivanhoe, including geophysical data interpretation, geological

mapping, geochemical sampling, Auger, RC and diamond drilling, identified a number of significant

targets that include economic intersections of Cu mineralisation, (Figure 3).

During the Quarter the Company commenced a review of the historic Ivanhoe project database. Five (5)

high-priority follow-up targets have so far been identified from the data review, and the Company has

commenced field investigation of the Kambundji East and Monwezi Prospects, (Figures 4).

The Kambundji East Prospect is located about 45 km by road south of Kolwezi and about 25 km east

of Kalongwe (Figures 4 and 5).

It is situated near the western termination of a major east-west trending faulted fold along which

several fragments of Roan (R2) sediments have been mapped. The JV project area covers about 17 km

of this trend, (Figure 4).

Two fragments of mineralised R2 sediments, striking broadly east-west and dipping steeply to the

south, with a combined strike length of about 200 m, were identified from various outcrop exposures

seen in pits, trenches, and artisanal workings.

The mineralised units extend under a hill which has a vegetation anomaly following the fault trend,

(Figures 5 and 6).

The R2 sediments consist of the classic R2 Mines Series facies including the Dstrat-RSF-RSC-SD rock

facies which are the principal host rocks for the bulk of mineralisation in the Congolese part of the

African Copperbelt (e.g. Kolwezi, Tenke-Fungerume, Kinsevere, Kalongwe and others). Predominantly

stratabound oxide copper mineralisation was observed in rocks exploited by artisanal miners from the

Dstrat-RSF and upper RSC-SD horizons, (Figure 6).

Rock chip samples were collected from various artisanal workings situated across the prospect area,

(Table 2). The rock chip samples were sent to a laboratory in Lubumbashi, DRC for analysis. Assay

results for these samples ranged up to 4.95% Cu highlighting the prospectivity of the area.

The Company is planning a more extensive and detailed programme of geochemical sampling and

mapping which will test a further 8 km of strike of east-west trending structure.

The Monwezi Prospect borders the Kalongwe (PR12198) tenement, (Figure 7), and covers the

extension of the structures and geology that host the Kalongwe deposit.

Multiple highly anomalous rock chip samples (greater that 0.1% Cu) were collected by Ivanhoe in the

central part of the Monwezi Prospect, (Figure 7), from where trenching exposed multiple fragments of

R2 rocks, The trench samples showed continuous soil anomalies over 10’s of meters at above 250 part

per million (“ppm”) Cu and above 450 pmm Co.

Historic drilling by Ivanhoe reported an intersection in DKAL_056, 8 m @ 2.6% Cu in a fragment of R2

Mine Series rocks.

Regal SK - South Kivu - Gold Project

With Regal’s sole focus and efforts directed on the extensive exploration work programme for the

Kalongwe Project, the Company is in decisions to withdraw from the Regal SK Joint Venture and to

relinquish all of its interest in the project.

Victorian Brown Coal Tenements

The Exploration Licences (EL) 4507 and 4510 expired at the end of 2014. Western Victoria Energy Pty

Ltd (“WVE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal, and the holder of the ELs took the decision to waive

its legal right to renew the licences and subsequently surrendered the tenements.

During the Quarter, rehabilitation works at the tenements were concluded in accordance with the

conditions set out in the respective licences and to the satisfaction of the Victoria State Department of

Economic Development, Job, Transport & Resources. The rehabilitation bonds for both EL 4507 and EL

4510 have been returned in full to WVE.

Corporate

Regal has cash reserves of AU$1,594,000 (unaudited) as at 30 June 2015 and has 217,045,458 ordinary

shares and 86 million unlisted options on issue.

28-31 July 2015: Sprott-Stansberry Natural Resources Symposium (Vancouver, Canada).

Cautionary Statement

Scoping Studies are commonly the first economic evaluation of a project undertaken and may be based

on a combination of directly gathered project data together with assumptions borrowed from similar

deposits or operations to the case envisaged.

This announcement has been prepared in compliance with the JORC Code 2012 Edition and the ASX

Listing Rules. The Company advises the Study results and production targets reflected in this

announcement are forecasts and estimates, and are preliminary in nature.

The results of the Study are based on lower-level technical and economic assessments, and are

insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development

case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Study will be realised.

Results of the Study also demonstrate that the proposed Kalongwe Stage 1 Project is sensitive to

operating costs, ore grade, concentrate grade and quality and Copper/Cobalt price. Changes in these key

factors will have a material effect on the future economic performance of the Project.
