January 30, 2019, (Vancouver, BC) – Regulus Resources Inc. ("Regulus" or the "Company", REG TSX.V) is
pleased to announce the results from six additional drill holes at the Company’s AntaKori copper-gold-silver project
in northern Peru. The drilling campaign is underway in collaboration with Compañía Minera Coimolache S.A.
(“Coimolache” or “CMC”), the operator of the Tantahuatay gold mine immediately to the south of the AntaKori
project. Holes reported in this news release are AK-18-022 through AK-18-027 (see Figure 1). Results are only
reported herein for the portions of the drill holes that occur within Regulus concessions. All of the holes encountered
significant mineralization with the most notable results from hole AK-18-026 along the northern margin of drilling
completed to date.

John Black, Chief Executive Officer of Regulus, commented as follows: “The AntaKori project continues to
consistently deliver encouraging drill results and we are particularly pleased with the new zone of breccia-hosted
high grade copper mineralization in AK-18-026. This batch of drill holes concludes our Phase 1 drilling program
with a total of 20,332 m drilled on Regulus concessions. The results from the Phase 1 program will form the basis for
the completion of an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate that is progressing well and scheduled for
completion by the end of February. Drilling has continued directly into a Phase 2 program and we will drill with 2
rigs until the end of the wet season in approximately April at which time we will increase the rig count to allow for
the completion of approximately 25,000 m of additional drilling in 2019.”
Dr. Kevin B. Heather, Chief Geological Officer of Regulus, commented as follows: “The final results from our
Phase 1 drill program at Antakori have highlighted two important factors: (1) All 27 holes of the program intercepted
mineralized rock which considering the size and scope of our drill program is a testament to the size of the AntaKori
system, and (2) I’m particularly excited by the first occurrence of significant amounts of breccia-hosted bornite with
chalcopyrite within a significant high grade copper interval in hole AK-18-26 (suggesting that we are approaching
the core of the system). AK-18-026 is the furthest northward hole drilled in this campaign and the first hole to test the
southern margin of a distinct magnetic low that may be associated with an intrusive center. Our Phase 2 drill program
will continue to test the northern extension of the system which we believe will lead us to the core of this extremely
large system.”
The AntaKori system hosts two principal styles of copper-gold-silver sulphide mineralization: 1) mineralized skarn
and breccias (Cu-Au-Ag) within Cretaceous calcareous sedimentary rocks, likely associated with as-yet undiscovered
porphyry mineralization; and 2) younger, epithermal high-sulphidation (HS) mineralization (Cu-Au-Ag-As) in
overlying Miocene volcanic rocks and breccias that host the adjacent Tantahuatay heap-leach gold mine to the south.
The younger high-sulphidation mineralization is characterized by pyrite-enargite and locally overprints the earlier
skarn mineralization (pyrite-chalcopyrite-magnetite), particularly along the southern part of the AntaKori system. Drill
holes at AntaKori typically encounter the overlying Miocene volcanic rocks and high-sulphidation style mineralization
prior to entering the Cretaceous sedimentary sequence and skarn at depth. As the drilling progresses to the north, the
volcanic rocks terminate, and drill holes will commence directly in the skarn/porphyry environment within the
Cretaceous sedimentary sequence (see Figures 2-5).
AK-18-022 through AK-18-027 were collared to test Regulus mineral concessions, within or near to the footprint of
the currently reported AntaKori NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 294.8 million tonnes with 0.48% Cu, 0.36 g/t
Au and 10.2 g/t Ag (see Southern Legacy news release of July 3rd, 2012; Wilson, 2012 – posted to SEDAR under
Southern Legacy Minerals on August 21, 2012 ), to confirm and extend the known, but only partially delineated
resource.
Discussion of results
Table 1 below provides more details regarding the mineralized intercepts encountered in drill holes AK-18-022 to
AK-18-027. The locations of the reported drill holes are indicated on Figure 1. The design of the current drilling
program is for holes spaced on approximately 150 m centres along drill sections oriented at 045 degrees (SW-NE).
Drill Holes AK-18-027 and AK-18-024 were drilled from the same platform but in opposite directions on section
line 1050NW (see figure 4). Both holes tested an upper zone of Miocene volcanic rocks with associated high -
supphidation epithermal mineraliztion before entering into skarn mineralization at depths of 260-300m. The holes
terminated in quartzite which is normally a poor host at AntaKori but in hole AK-18-024 the quartzite is brecciated
and locally well-mineralized.
Drill holes AK-18-026, AK-18-025, and AK-18-023 were all drilled from the same platform as previously reported
drill hole AK-18-020 (see Regulus news release of November 14, 2018). These holes complete a fan of holes on
section 950NW (see figures 3 and 5) and represent the northernmost drilling completed to date in this drill program.
The holes encountered a thin zone of Miocene volcanic rocks to depths of 140-170 m prior to entering into skarn
mineralization within the underlying Cretaceous sedimentary sequence. Hole AK-18-023 failed to reach target depth
but hole AK-18-026 was completed to target depth and extended deeper when a well mineralized breccia body was
encountered. The breccia is developed in Farrat Formation quartzite and is cemented by pyrite-chalcopyrite-bornite-
chalcocite with minor late infilling of enargite-tennantite. This is the most significant occurrence of bornite
encountered at AntaKori to date. The geometry of the breccias body is very poorly constrained at this time as this is
the only hole in which it has been intersected. The breccia varies in degree of development with blocks of less
brecciated quartzite preserved within the overall body. The well brecciated portions of the body show long runs with
copper mineralization consistently in the 1-4% range. The late infilling of enargite-tennantite mineralization results
in moderate levels of arsenic (see Table 2 for results) that are less that what occurs in the high -sulphidation
mineralization within the overlying Miocene volcanic sequence but higher than skarn mineralization in the Cretaceous
carbonate rocks.
All three of these holes show local evidence of the late base metal carbonate style of mineralization that was previously
reported from drill hole AK-18-020. This younger mineralization event occurs as irregular veins that overprint skarn
mineralization and are locally incorporated as fragments in late breccias. It is probably more closely related in age,
but younger than, the high-sulphidation epithermal mineralization in the overlying Miocene volcanic rocks and is
characterized by high gold-silver contents, elevated zinc-lead, and lower arsenic than the high-sulphidation epithermal
mineralization. Individual assay intervals can have very high grades with several intervals exceeding 10 g/t Au in
holes AK-18-025 and AK-18-026. Individual assay intervals in hole AK-18-025 contain up to 27.7 g/t Au over an
interval of 1.6m. Individual assays in hole AK-18-026 contain up to 28.4 g/t Au and 17.33% Cu over an interval of
0.9m. These high grade intervals are generally enclosed within broader zones of well mineralized rock. The following
tables show the zones of higher grade mineralization with results from individual samples cut to 10% Cu, 10 g/t Au,
1000 g/t Ag and also to 5% Cu, 5 g/t Au, 500 g/t Ag to help evaluate the influence of the higher grade samples.

Drill hole AK-18-022 is located on section L500NW (see figure 2) and tested the eastern margin of the currently
defined mineralization at AntaKori. The hole encountered high-sulphidation mineralization in Miocene volcanic rocks
to a depth of 252.6 m prior to entering skarn mineralization in the underlying Cretaceous sequence (see tables 1 and
2 for summary of mineralized intervals). At the base of the Miocence volcanic sequence there is a zone of higher grade
mineralization from 232.20-250.40m with several individual assay intervals that exceed 5 g/t Au and/or 5% Cu with
grades up to 9.44 g/t Au and 6.22% Cu. The following table shows the assay results from this interval with results
from individual samples cut to 10% Cu, 10 g/t Au, 1000 g/t Ag and also to 5% Cu, 5 g/t Au, 500 g/t Ag to help evaluate
the influence of the higher-grade samples.

The grades are uncut. Cu Eq and Au Eq values were calculated using copper, gold and silver. Metal prices utilized for the calculations are Cu – US$2.25/lb,
Au – US$1,100/oz, and Ag – US$14/oz. All intervals presented above consist of sulphide mineralization. No adjustments were made for recovery as the
project is an early stage exploration project and metallurgical data to allow for estimation of recoveries is not yet available. The formulas utilized to calculate
equivalent values are Cu Eq (%) = Cu% + (Au g/t * 0.7130) + (Ag g/t * 0.0091) and Au Eq (g/t) = Au g/t + (Cu% * 1.4026) + (Ag g/t * 0.0127).

The grades are uncut. HS = high-sulphidation epithermal style mineralisation. CBM = carbonate-base metal style epithermal mineralization.
This table reports the mineralized intervals based upon lithology and demonstrates the notable difference in arsenic content between high-
sulphidation mineralization in the Miocene volcanic sequence (typically 1000-5000 ppm As) and the lower concentrations found in the zones
of skarn mineralization (typically 100-400 ppm As).
The true widths of the mineralized intervals reported in Tables 1 and 2 are difficult to ascertain and additional drilling
and geologic modelling will be required to better constrain the geometry of the mineralized zones. High-sulphidation
epithermal mineralization within the Miocene volcanic sequence is characterized by exten sive zones of low to
moderate-grade disseminated and fracture-controlled mineralization that enclose zones of higher grade mineralization
like that encountered in holes AK-18-001 and AK-18-021 as well as several other drill holes. These higher grade
zones consist of irregular pyrite-enargite veins, veinlets, and open space infilling that exhibit both a subvertical
structural control and a subhorizontal permeability or manto control within the volcanic sequence. The margins of the
higher grade high-sulphidation epithermal zones are generally not sharp or planar in nature. Skarn style mineralization
in the Cretaceous sedimentary sequence is m ainly controlled by the subhorizontal stratigraphy and reported
mineralized intercepts are probably close to true thicknesses as the drill holes are steeply inclined at 60-90 degrees. In
addition to high-sulphidation epithermal and skarn styles of mineralization the project also exhibits zones of irregular
veins and veinlets of chalcopyrite-pyrite-anhydrite-quartz that are thought to be more typical of porphyry copper style
mineralization and likely occurring as broad zones of stockwork veining rather than distinct veins. This latter style of
mineralization typically overprints skarn mineralization and increases the overal l grade. Mineralization at the
AntaKori deposit also occurs within breccias as both mineralized fragments (post-mineral breccias) or as infilling of
voids within the breccia (pre-mineral breccias). Mineralization within breccias tends to be irregular but the majority
of the breccias bodies are subvertical and planar in nature.
Sampling and Analytical Procedures
Regulus follows systematic and rigorous sampling and analytical protocols which meet and exceed industry standards.
These protocols are summarized below and are available on the Regulus website at www.regulusresources.com.
All drill holes are diamond core holes with PQ, HQ or NQ core diameters. Drill core is collected at the drill site where
recovery and RQD (Rock Quality Designation) measurements are taken before the core is transported by truck to the
Regulus core logging facility in Cajamarca, where it is photographed and geologically logged. The core is then cut in
half with a diamond saw blade with half the sample retained in the core box for future reference and the other half
placed into a pre-labelled plastic bag, sealed with a plastic zip tie, and identified with a unique sample number. The
core is typically sampled over a 1 to 2 metre sample interval unless the geologist determines the presence of an
important geological contact. The bagged samples are then stored in a secure area pending shipment to a certified
laboratory sample preparation facility. Samples are sent by batch to the ALS laboratory in Lima for assay. Regulus
independently inserts certified control standards, coarse field blanks, and duplicates into the sample stream to monitor
data quality. These standards are inserted “blindly” to the laboratory in the sample sequence prior to departure from
the Regulus core storage facilities. At the laboratory samples are dried, crushed, and pulverized and then analyzed
using a fire assay – AA finish analysis for gold and a full multi-acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis for other
elements. Samples with results that exceed maximum detection values for gold are re-analyzed by fire assay with a
gravimetric finish and other elements of interest are re-analyzed using precise ore-grade ICP analytical techniques.

About Regulus Resources Inc. and the AntaKori Project
Regulus Resources Inc. is an international mineral exploration company run by an experienced technical and
management team, with a portfolio of precious and base metal exploration properties located in North and South
America. The principal project held by Regulus is the AntaKori copper-gold-silver project in northern Peru. The
AntaKori project currently hosts an inferred mineral resource of 294.8 million tonnes with a grade of 0.48% Cu, 0.36
g/t Au and 10.2 g/t Ag based upon 17,950 m of drilling by previous operators (see Southern Legacy Minerals press
release of July 3rd, 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.
