NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY CANADIAN CORPORATE NEWS

FOR: REGAL GOLDFIELDS LIMITED

CANADIAN DEALING NETWORK SYMBOL: REGL

NOVEMBER 21, 1997

Regal Goldfields Limited Annoucement

TORONTO, ONTARIO--Regal Goldfields Limited announces that it has
not received a reply to its November 3, 1997 letter to the
Minister of Natural Resources of Nova Scotia which requested him
to advise Regal as to what actions are intended to be taken to
address the obvious substantial losses that Regal will suffer if
it cannot proceed with its exploration programs as originally
contemplated in the Jim Campbell's Barren where Regal holds valid
exploration licences. Premier Russell MacLellan has announced
that he will be placing the Jim Campbell's Barren back on Nova
Scotia's list of candidate protected lands and spaces, and Regal
has recently been advised by the Minister of Natural Resources
that its consent for Regal to enter upon and carry out mineral
exploration work within the Barren has been withdrawn. The Barren
is located near Cheticamp, Cape Breton Island, an area of high
unemployment in Nova Scotia.

Regal has therefore instructed its lawyers to review all of its
alternatives and will be instructing them to take any appropriate
action to ensure that all its rights and entitlements are fully
protected, including seeking compensation for the damages
resulting from this political decision by the Premier of Nova
Scotia. Regal has started the process of estimating the damages
suffered by its shareholders with respect to past expenditures in
the area, potential profits that may have flowed to Regal as a
result of its exploration of the numerous mineral showings in the
Barren, and the negative impact the decision had on Regal's
ability to finance its activities. Similar actions by
governments in North America, particularly in British Columbia and
Montana, have set the precedent of compensation to companies for
loss of mineral rights.
