VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 21, 2010) - Regal Resources Inc. (CNSX:RGR) (the "Company" or "Regal")

Regal Resources Inc. a Vancouver based mineral exploration company announces it has entered into an option agreement to earn 100% interest in the Squaw Peak Copper-Molybdenum Project in Yavapai County, Arizona. The company will undertake cash payments of US$500,000, expenditures of US$2,800,000 and will issue 1,000,000 common shares of Regal over a 10 year period. The vendor will retain a 3% net smelter royalty.

Summary of the Squaw Peak Copper-Molybdenum Project

The Squaw Peak Project is composed of 40 unpatented mining claims covering a total of 800 acres and is located near Camp Verde, Arizona approximately half way between Flagstaff and Phoenix. The project is an advanced exploration property hosting a porphyry copper-molybdenum system with a current open-ended resource grading 0.4% copper and 0.025% molybdenum.

Historic work was conducted by Kennecott, Callahan, Phillips Petroleum, Essex and most recently by American Consolidated Minerals. The mineralized zone encompasses a northwest trending zone of sheeted veins and stock-works of quartz and sulfide in Precambrian granite and Laramide quartz monzonite. Copper, molybdenum, silver and minor gold had been mined during World War II from the current mineralized zone.

The 2008 exploration program conducted by American Copper Corporation included geologic mapping, soil sampling, airborne magnetic survey and a drill program. This work program discovered that the mineralized zone plunged to the northwest and is open-ended. The last hole drilled at Squaw Peak was positioned at the north end of the mineralized zone. This hole was mineralized from surface to a depth of 791 ft averaging of 0.56% copper equivalent. The drilling indicates the mineralized zone plunges moderately to the north and is thickening with depth. A large magnetic low (the North Target) occurs to the north of the mineralized zone indicating a possible altered intrusive body as the source of the near-surface mineralized zone. Listed below are historical drill holes previously published by American Copper Corporation in 2008.

Regal plans to resume drilling as soon as permitting is completed. The initial program will both attempt to expand and quantify the mineralized zone and test the deep magnetic low.

Proposed Private Placement

The Company announces its intention to complete a non-brokered private placement consisting of the issuance of up to 3,000,000 units at a price of C$0.08. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.10.
