We talked to Andrew Bell, Chairman, Regency Mines PLC (AIM:RGM) about the news update with the release of [Mining Equity Trust (MET), LLC starts Virginia Coal Operations](https://www.investegate.co.uk/regency-mines-plc--rgm-/rns/mining-equity-trust-starts-virginia-coal-operation/201808021644566902W/) update.

**Andrew Bell, Regency Chairman, comments:** "As substantial shareholders in MET we are delighted to see the rapid progress now being made. We have considerable confidence that the specialist coal management Legacy Hill have identified to run the Cedar Bluff projects will deliver results, initially from highwall mining using two leased Caterpillar HW300 highwall miners. Regency looks forward to supporting the operations and expansion of MET in any way it can."
