Regency Mines Signs PNG Cobalt Agreement

Regency Mines Plc a mining exploration and mineral investment company, said on Wednesday it signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) related to its stake in a nickel-cobalt project in Papua New Guinea.

Under the MoU, Regency agreed to pool its interest in the Mambare project with the privately-owned Direct Nickel's (DNi) lateritic nickel/cobalt treatment technology in a new company, in which both parties would have shares.
