Of particular note, the El Poma Gold Project has been partially tested with 30 drill holes totalling over 14,000 metres. Most holes intersected wide intervals of significant gold mineralisation with numerous nearby targets remaining untested. Further technical analysis is being done on the properties prior to initiating a work program over the properties. Cobrasco and Comita Projects, Colombia Rugby owns 100% of the Cobrasco project, subject to a 1% NSR and has an option to earn up to 60% of the adjacent Comita project in western Colombia. Both projects host undrilled large scale porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold targets which were recognised during a joint German-Colombian government sponsored exploration program conducted in the mid-1980s. No systematic exploration or drilling has been conducted since that time. The final permit required for Cobrasco drilling is outstanding and further studies are proposed. The Company continues to work closely with the Colombian Mining Association, along with other similar mineral exploration and mining companies, to gain broad public support for a future copper industry in the country. A developed copper industry is believed to be a viable future source for jobs and significant government revenues, similar to neighboring countries like Chile, Panama and Peru. Otways Copper Project, Pilbara Australia Rugby has acquired mineral property concession applications over the Otways Copper Project in the Pilbara, Australia for a nominal cash consideration and a 2% NSR. The concession applications cover an area of 118 square kilometres and host the potential for copper (gold) porphyry targets. Timing for the granting is expected within the next 12 months.Mabuhay Gold Project, Philippines An application for an exploration permit ("EP") is currently awaiting approval. To minimise expenditures, the project will remain under care and maintenance until the EP is granted. Paul Joyce, Rugby's President, CEO and a "qualified person" ("QP") within the definition of that term in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has verified the technical information that forms the basis for this news release.About Rugby Rugby is an emerging mineral resource company focussed on a portfolio of projects having considerable potential for significant mineral discoveries.
