The agreement provides Regulus an option to earn-in to up to a 70% interest in a large area (2,571 ha) of Colquirrumi mining concessions located immediately to the north and east of its AntaKori mining concessions and also provides Colquirrumi with an option to claw-back to a 70% interest.

Please refer to the Regulus news release of May 18, 2016 for a summary of other key components of the agreement.
John Black, Chief Executive Officer of Regulus, commented as follows: "The completion of this agreement, in conjunction with the previously announced Coimolache agreement, has notably increased the footprint of the AntaKori project and gives us room to conduct exploration much more efficiently.The currently known AntaKori copper-gold sulphide mineralization will likely extend onto portions of the Colquirrumi ground and we believe there is also potential for the discovery of additional satellite zones of mineralization. We look forward to commencing exploration in this area."
