- Regulus Resources Inc. (TSX-V: REG; OTCQX: RGLSF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on copper-gold projects in Peru. The company conducts exploration activities, including drilling programs and resource estimation, primarily through its flagship AntaKori copper-gold-silver project located in northern Peru's Yanacocha-Hualgayoc mining district; it also holds interests in other mineral titles and claims in Peru, such as Colquirrumi, and maintains a 0.5% net smelter return royalty on the Fireweed project in Canada. Founded in December 2010 by the former management team of Antares Minerals Inc. following its sale to First Quantum Minerals, Regulus Resources is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and operates principally in Peru with administrative functions in Canada.
The company's core offerings encompass advanced mineral exploration services, geophysical surveys, and diamond drilling to delineate copper-gold-silver deposits at AntaKori, where it completed a Phase I program of over 23,000 meters in 2018 supporting an updated resource estimate in March 2019 and advanced into Phase II drilling; it targets junior mining sector customers, including investors seeking exposure to high-potential porphyry systems for future development into mining operations. Regulus employs modern exploration techniques and fosters partnerships with local communities and stakeholders to advance projects toward viable resource definition.
In recent developments, Regulus signed a collaboration agreement on July 29, 2024, with Compania Minera Coimolache S.A. to evaluate the integrated Coimolache Sulphides/AntaKori copper-gold project; consolidated 100% ownership of certain claims on October 10, 2024; engaged ICP Securities Inc. for automated market making services on November 5, 2024; and reported attractive copper extraction rates using Nuton bio-leaching technologies alongside an update on the integrated sulphide project resource estimate on May 20, 2025. Earlier, the company completed a US$5 million investment from Osisko Gold Royalties in October 2022 for net smelter return royalties on AntaKori claims, acquired a 70% interest in certain assets in February 2023, and spun out Argentine projects to Aldebaran Resources Inc. in October 2018. These initiatives reflect ongoing strategic expansions, royalty optimizations, and technological integrations to enhance project economics and advance toward comprehensive resource updates.
