REG Regulus Resources Inc

Regulus Resources Inc. ("Regulus" or the "Company", TSX-V: REG, OTCQX: RGLSF) is pleased to announce that it has executed an agreement with Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura”) dated effective August 26, 2024 to acquire the remaining 30% interest in the Colquirrumi claims (see Figure 1) that the Company did not already own (see Company press release dated February 15, 2023).

In exchange for the remaining 30% interest, Regulus has granted Buenaventura a 2% NSR over the Colquirrumi claims, of which 0.5% can be repurchased within 10 years in exchange for US$ 1 Million.

The Colquirrumi claims represent approximately 2,571 hectares of mineral rights in a prolific mining district, adjacent to and interfingered with Regulus’ AntaKori property. Less than 5% of the Colquirrumi claims have been properly explored, however, several encouraging mineralized areas were discovered in Regulus’ previous drill programs.

John Black, Chief Executive Officer of Regulus, commented: “This agreement consolidates a large portion of land that we know to be mineralized. There is also significant strategic value given that any large mining operation in the district would need to incorporate the Colquirrumi claims to expand resources and layback an open pit. By acquiring the remaining 30% of this claims package, we have grown our 100% owned claims package substantially.”
