Environmental Challenges
- Expectation of environmental liabilities associated with historical mining and exploration activity.
- Limited information on how representative the samples used in test work are of the metallurgical variability of the deposit.
- Arsenic (and potentially zinc) contents in concentrate may require consideration in either marketing the concentrate product or assessing further downstream secondary processing requirements.
Mitigation Strategies
- Regulus’ subsidiaries SLP and/or Anta Norte must report the existence of environmental liabilities in an environmental baseline study to be excluded from reclamation responsibility.
- Additional metallurgical testwork has been recommended to assess mineralization and geometallurgical variability especially regarding arsenic mineralogy, and to support concentrate marketing and/or secondary processing scenarios.
- Various concentrate marketing and/or secondary processing options should be evaluated once the recommended metallurgical testwork is available to assess metallurgical characteristics.

Climate Goals & Targets
Environmental Challenges
- Complex claim position hindering exploration
- Arsenic presence in the ore
- Securing drilling permits
- Resource expansion and reporting
- Obtaining social license
- Project financing without significant dilution
Mitigation Strategies
- Agreements with CMC, Buenaventura, and Gold Fields for exploration
- Multiple pathways to deal with arsenic, including Nuton leaching technology
- Utilization of CMC drill permits and acquisition of new permits
- Substantial resource growth through new drilling and data integration
- Close collaboration with communities to establish sustainable social license
- Non-dilutive financings with Osisko and above-market financing with Rio Tinto
