James Philips, Director Regulatory Compliance, explains: "The precise calculations and report details are not yet finalised by the regulators but, from our experience and close working relationship with the EBA, we are sufficiently confident of a large proportion of the information that's required, and will issue calculation engines and reporting templates that meet the final detailed requirements as and when they are published." John Wisbey, CEO, added: "This major regulatory change is similar to the situation our clients found themselves in with the FSA's liquidity regime of 2010. We started work with firms well in advance of the finalisation of the regulation and were able successfully to implement more than 35 systems in good time for clients to meet the FSA's requirements and remain compliant."

Mitch Alland, Executive Chairman of CDC, commented: "Hole 50 is highly significant, as it is a new discovery of the eastern extension of the Southeast Deposit in an area that had never been previously drilled. This extension, based on magnetic signature, has the potential to double the resource at the Southeast Deposit. Also, Hole 47 at the Southeast Deposit, with its long, high grade intersection of 0.62% copper, is an important demonstration of the previously unknown extension of this deposit at depth along its western edge, which has the potential to add more substantial tonnage to our resources at Basay. Overall, we have completed an in depth review of all new geological information and have used sophisticated techniques to identify new drill targets that show promise to be major extensions at depth and on strike of known resources. In addition, areas of known supergene copper mineralisation are targeted which may potentially add easily mineable resources to the overall project. With these new targets and ongoing growing knowledge of the geology of Basay, we feel that the next two months of drilling will be highly productive in our goal of realising these deposits as a major, world class copper project."

High Grade Intersections at Basay Southeast Deposit Add Newly Discovered Extensions at Depth and on Strike to the East Highlights · Hole 50, drilled in a previously unexplored area east of the Southeast deposit intersects 111 metres of 0.51% Cu from 51 metres, and represents a previously unknown extension of this deposit. · Hole 47, drilled at depth near the western limit of the Southeast deposit intersects 174 metres of 0.62% Cu from 156 metres, and also represents an area of previously unknown mineralisation. · On the basis of recently completed geochemical, geophysical and geological information, the Company has designed a new step out and exploration drilling programme to identify the most prospective targets, including the depth and strike extensions of the known mineralisation; prominent coincident induced polarisation (IP), magnetic and geochemical anomalies; as well as attractive potential supergene deposits that could host substantial easily minable near surface resources. Copper Development Corporation (AIM: CDC) is pleased to report that assay results from drill holes BSM047 to BSM050 at its Basay Project on Negros Island, Philippines are extending areas of known mineralisation at depth, and particularly along strike to the east of the major Southeast deposit.
