Drill Program Commences at Golden Brew Project, Nevada
NEWS RELEASE
DRILL PROGRAM COMMENCES AT GOLDEN BREW PROJECT, NEVADA
Vancouver, British Columbia – Regulus Resources Inc. (TSX.V – REG) and Highway 50 Gold Corp.
(TSX.V – HWY)
August 16, 2017
Regulus Resources Inc. (“Regulus”) and Highway 50 Gold Corp. (“Highway 50”) (together the
“companies”) announce that Regulus has commenced a reverse circulation drill program on their jointly
operated Golden Brew property located 20 miles south of Austin, Nevada.
The program will entail 4-6 holes comprising 10,000 feet (3,000 m). Drilling will target Carlin-type gold-
arsenic-antimony mineralization under pediment cover outboard of a large zone of gold -bearing
jasperoid which extends 2500’ eastward, into the Toiyabe Mountain Range.
Previously conducted geophysics include gravity, magnetic and CSAMT surveys that have defined what
appears to be a structurally complicated area with attendant magnetic destruction. Gravity lows within a
gravity high of buried carbonates may be indicative of decalcification which is a major alteration type
related to gold deposition in Carlin gold systems. Several gravity lows occur within the area of interest.
Previous drilling intersected a 150’ thick zone of arsenic -antimony-gold mineralization in lower-plate
carbonates 1.2 miles southwest of the exposed jasperoid in drill hole GBT-11-3. This intercept is evidence
of the existence of a sizable footprint of Carlin-type mineralization on the property. Additionally, the
area being explored is between the base of the Toiyabe Mountains and an uplifted block (horst) located
~1 mile to the west. The presence of horst blocks commonly indicates a structural architecture that is
conducive to the formation of large Carlin-type gold deposits.
Regulus has an option to earn a 50% interest in the Golden Brew property from Highway 50 by spending
US$5,000,000 on exploration expenditures on the project over 5 years, and assuming the underlying third
party lease payments and claim holding costs. The first US$500,000 of exploration expenditures is a firm
commitment. Upon earn-in the parties will form a joint venture on a 50/50 basis.
The scientific and technical disclosure in t his news release has been approved by Gordon P. Leask,
P.Eng., President and CEO of Highway 50 and a director of Regulus, and a Qualified Person as defined
by National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).

(see Southern Legacy Minerals press release of July 3, 2012 - Southern Legacy Minerals and the Company
entered into a business arrangement in 2014 and kept the name Regulus Resources Inc.) Mineralization
remains open in most directions and drilling is currently underway to confirm and increase the size of the
resource.
