Introduction


Regulus Resources owns the massive AntaKori copper-gold project, which currently holds

large amount of Cu, Ag and Au. The strategy of the company is finding under-explored

assets that have the potential to become large deposits, drill them out and de-risking them

and then selling them. The management team behind Regulus has experience with this

strategy -They were previously in charge of Peru-focused copper exploration company

Antares Minerals, which was sold to First Quantum (First Quantum Minerals Ltd.

Ticker: FM.TO)

for around C$650 million in cash and shares back in 2010.

The company is in the middle of a new 25,000-meter drilling campaign and it plans to

release a PEA study after the phase II drilling in 2021.

Risk

The arsenic content has caused some obstacles in a part of the project- Temporarily drill

suspension because of community agreement/talks – seemingly these things happens in

developing countries where the community want a piece of the cake (money) - CEO is

confident that things will turn out good (see Youtube interview Jan 7) – Another Sign of

confidence from the management is the insider buys lately (see CEO.CA) drilling should

start very soon. The risk reflects in the cheap share price! The track record of Regulus

management team and the strategic partnership with Osisko Gold Royalties made me trust

in them and I bought shares!

”The principal issue that has been brought to the Company’s attention is that waters in

the nearby Aguas Coloradas Reservoir (Coloured Waters Reservoir) have become

turbid and changed color and there are allegations that drilling activity at Anta Norte

may have contributed to this. Regulus can confidently state that the drilling at Anta

Norte has had no effect on the Aguas Coloradas Reservoir, as this body of water is

located well to the east of where the drilling is occurring and is at a higher elevation and

in a completely different drainage basin. The Company has offered to help fund a study

and to work with the local community of Tranca de Pujupe to evaluate the potential

source of the discolouration”.

Conclusion

Regulus is led by a solid management team that successfully managed to monetize

the Haquira project in 2010 (see last page). The latter bears similarity to AntaKori as it is

also located adjacent to a large operating copper-gold mine, namely Las Bambas.

AntaKori already is very large and it has an amazing exploration potential, I think that

AntaKori could start attracting significant interest from mining majors around the middle of

2021 after the release of the PEA. The main listing of the company is in Canada and the

current market capitalization is just C$98 million, which seems very cheap for a company

with a Tier 1 copper-gold project. Regarding likely bidders, I think that a lot of synergies

could be realized through the combination of AntaKori with Tantahuatay or Cerro Corona,

but the project also could attract attention from other major mining companies. For

example, some gold majors have been looking at diversifying into copper lately and

AntaKori could be a great fit for them - I see huge short term and long term upside here!
