interests.

Corescan’s laboratory will acquire high resolution hyperspectra l imagery, photography and laser profiler

measurements of the core surface, with the data processed and i nterpreted by Corescan’s spectral geology team,

delivering detailed alteration information, mineralogical assem blage maps, compositional variations, mineralogical

mine engineering, environmental planning and mineral processing.

Under the scope of the initial contract, Corescan will scan and process ~15,000m of historical drill core and a

minimum of 15,000m of new drill core from Regulus’s AntaKori pr oject during 2017. Drilling is scheduled to

commence prior to the end of March at the AntaKori project and the execution of the Colquirrumi definitive

agreement (see Press Release dated January 3rd, 2017) is anticipated within the same time frame.

the initiation of drilling at our AntaKori copper-gold project and to be one of the first companies to have a

dedicated Corescan laboratory on site for the duration of a major drilling campaign. The use of Corescan

technology will greatly increase the quality and consistency of the geological data that we collect and is very

consistent with our policy of best technical practices when we are delin eating a major mineral resource. The

Corescan laboratory is installed and operating in our Caja marca core storage facility. We are currently scanning

historical drill core but look forward to working with new core in the ne xt few weeks. Additional details of the 2017

drilling campaign will be provided as drilling commences.”
