Moolart Well Resource Update

Consultant Golder Australia has completed a resource review for the Moolart Well deposit, based on drilling to September 2006 and assays available to 7 December 2006. The resource calculation was based on 25m x 25m x 5m parent blocks; used new SG determinations: and used top cuts for laterite and oxide mineralisation similar to previous resource estimates.

A substantial amount of new gold intersection data from nearly 50,000 metres of drilling since December 2006 has become available, which has resulted in a significant change to the geological model for the oxide mineralisation. Combined with the 3m downhole compositing for oxide zone intersections, this has resulted in the resource estimate for the oxide zone having only limited relevance.

The Golder resource review however, does include the first estimate of low grade mineralisation in the resource based on the modelling of intersections above a 0.3g/t cut-off. This material could be amenable to treatment by heap leach methods or through a larger CIP/CIL mill design. A summary of the low grade mineralisation is given in Table 5 below.

Table 5 Golder 2007 Low Grade Resource Summary
------------------------------------------------ --

All resource categories are JORC compliant; OK=Ordinary Kriging, MIK=Multiple Indicator Kriging

A new resource estimate has been commenced by consultants Hellman and Schofield. This resource will contain the results from a further approximately 50,000 metres of infill and stepout drilling received since the Golder resource estimate cut-off date of September 2006. Database verification, ore type interpretation and domain modelling have been completed. Final results are expected during the current quarter.

Minina Studies

Pit optimisation studies have been completed for the satellite resources at Rosemont, Erlistoun, King John, Reichelts Find, Russells Find and Baneygo which form part of the Duketon Gold Project. All of these resources are located on granted Mining Leases. Pit shells were generated at A$750, $875 and $1000/oz gold prices. These pit designs were used to examine potential in-pit resource and to highlight areas for further resource extension drilling.

Metailurgy

Further metallurgical work is planned to further characterise the laterite and lower oxide (saprock) zones, and to add metallurgical knowledge from the newer discovered laterite and oxide mineralisation. A preliminary program to test fresh-rock mineralisation characteristics has been planned for the current quarter.

Detailed extraction testwork for laterite and oxide ores was commenced during the quarter. Preliminary results indicate the optimum grind size for laterite ores may be 150um, significantly coarser than that previously reported (106um). Gold recoveries in laterite ore continue to exceed 95% based on a 48 hour residence time. Oxide testwork is planned to be completed in the current quarter.

Oxide ore handling characteristics suggest that a clay scrubber and thickener may be required in the circuit. Further testwork is being designed to complete this evaluation.

Heap leach testwork for all types has been planned for the current quarter. This work will be key in assessing whether the low grade laterite and oxide ores can be economically recovered through heap or dump leaching, or whether they should be blended with a run of mine CIP/CIL feed.

Infrastructure

The Stage 1 water supply evaluation study has been completed by consultants MWES, and a gravity survey and drilling program designed to explore for a suspected paleochannel. Additional Miscellaneous Licences have been pegged. The stage 2 delineation program is expected to be completed in the current quarter.

Power supply design and operating options are continuing to be evaluated. Various diesel/oil generating designs are in evaluation and costing. The potential of a gas supply pipeline and generation plant is also being evaluated.

Fig 1 Moolart Well Deposit - Oxide Mineralisation Zones. Note: MLAs 38/498,499, 500 and 589 were granted on 18 April 2007.

Moolart Well Mining Leases Granted

Mining Leases nos, M38/498, M38/499, M38/500 and M38/589 covering the Moolart Well gold resource were granted on 18 April 2007. A further two Mining Leases, nos M38/600 and M38/601 over the satellite King John gold and copper-gold resource were also granted on the same date.

The new leases at Moolart Well cover the area of the proposed pits, waste dumps, processing plant and other necessary infrastructure for the development of the Duketon Gold Project, centred on the Moolart Well deposit (see attached plan).

The issue of these six new leases means that all of the Duketon Gold Project's 2.29 million ounces of gold resources now sit on granted Mining Leases, allowing the mining development process to proceed.

Gold Exploration Activities

During the quarter gold exploration activities outside of the Duketon Gold Project Feasibility areas have centred on the north and southern sections of the Moolart Corridor within the Laverton Tectonic Zone, and at the Queen Margaret prospect.

Moolart Corridor

The Moolart Corridor is a zone of anomalous gold and arsenic mineralisation extending continuously over at least 16km to the northwest of the Moolart Well gold deposit and for an unknown distance to the south. During the quarter exploration activities continued on both the northern and southern portions of the corridor.

Moolart North

Further assays were received from reconaissance geochemical drilling in the Moolart North area. Significant results are listed in Table 6. These results further extend the anomalous gold mineralisation in the weathering horizon and indicate further primary mineralisation hosted in the basic volcanic sequence in the area. Further work is planned.

Nickel Exploration Activities

During the quarter nickel exploration activities consisted of diamond drilling on TEM and geochemical nickel targets at Collurabbie, and further compilation and modelling of nickel sulphide exploration targets in the Collurabbie and Duketon blocks.

Collurabbie Region

The Collurabbie region comprises three ultramafic zones (Western Ultramafic Zone, Central Ultramafic Zone and Eastern Ultramafic Zone) and a number of extensive mafic sills (Fig 4). The ultramafic-hosted Olympia Ni-Cu-PGE (platinum group element) massive sulphide mineralisation, discovered by BHP Billiton Ltd 5km to the north and adjoining the Regis tenements, is interpreted to lie within the northern extension of Regis' Western Ultramafic Zone.

Fig 2 Collurabbie Nickel Province.

Sligo Nickel Prospect (Regis 100%)

The Sligo prospect is located in the southern Collurabbie area within an isolated sequence of ultramafic-mafic rocks. Anomalous nickel and copper levels were first detected in the area in historical RAB drilling. Follow up exploration by Regis in 2005 and 2006 resulted in the discovery οf an nickel-copper-zinc anomalous zone extending over 4 km and associated with the ultramafic stratigraphy. The anomaly is open to the north and south.

Fig 3. Sligo nickel prospect, Collurabbie.

A TEM conductor extending over 400m was defined in late 2006. Modelling of the conductor indicated a west-dipping body below 100m interpreted to lie close to or within the ultramafic sequence.

Fig 4. Location of Sligo CRD001.

Diamond drill hole CRD001 tested the Sligo TEM anomaly during the quarter. The hole returned an intersection of 1.8m of massive sulphides in four separate lenses, and a further 16m of matrix sulphides in three zones. The sulphides are pyrrhotite-dominant with lesser pyrite. and chalcopyrite and minor galena have been logged. The sulphides are located within a sediment sequence adjacent to an ultramafic unit, and may have been remobilised. Assays are awaited.

Further detailed exploration is planned in the current quarter to delineate the full extent of the known sulphide position, and to cover the nickel-copper geochemical anomalies apparently located within the ultramafic units adjacent to this intersection, and elsewhere in parts of the 4km Sligo strike length. Further TEM is coverage is planned over the northern extent of the anomaly.

Tasman North Nickel prospect (Regis 80%, Falcon Minerals 20%)

At the Tasman North nickel prospect diamond drill hole CRDD002 designed to test a coincident TEM - Ni geochemical anomaly TAS 80 has intersected a cherty sulphidic unit on an ultramafic contact at 122m depth. The cherty unit is approximately 9m thick and contains abundant disseminated pyrrhotite and minor pyrite sulphides. A massive/matrix pyrrhotite sulphide zone 0.25m thick occurs towards the base of the overturned unit. Assays are awaited and evaluation of the results are underway.

Tasman Nickel prospect (Regis 100%)

At the Tasman nickel prospect diamond drillhole CRD003 was designed to test a coincident TEM anomaly and nickel-copper geochemistry known as Tas 25-28. The hole was drilled to target depth of 300 metres with no obvious source of the TEM conductor detected. Results are being evaluated.
