3 DISCLOSURE Forward-Looking Information. Certain of the information contained in this document constitutes forward-looking information or forward-looking statements (collectively, "forward-looking information") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Such forward-looking information include statements regarding: the Regulus / Southern Legacy amalgamation and matters in respect thereof, exploration plans for the Rio Grande, AntaKori, Pulchidiza and Golden Brew projects, Regulus and Southern Legacy resource estimates, use of proceeds of the equity financing. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. With respect to forward-looking information contained herein, we have made numerous assumptions including among other things, commodity prices, economic and political conditions and continuity of operations. Although Regulus believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that forward-looking information referenced herein will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Regulus to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. These risks, uncertainties or other factors include, but are not limited to, the actual commodity prices received, unanticipated grade, geological, metallurgical, processing, access, transportation of supply or other problems, political, economic and operational risks of foreign operations, availability of materials and equipment, the timing of receipt of governmental permits, force majeure events, accidents, labour relations and risks in start-up date delays, environmental costs and risks, the outcome of acquisition negotiations, general domestic and international economic and political conditions, the factual results of current exploration, development and mining activities and those factors disclosed in documents filed by Regulus from time to time with the provincial securities regulators in Canada. Although we have attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Regulus undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information as a result of new information after the date of this document except as required by law. All forward-looking information contained herein is qualified by this cautionary statement. Presentation of Resource Estimates This corporate presentation uses the terms "indicated" and "inferred" in connection with its resource presentations, as defined in accordance with National Instrument Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI ") under guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of "indicated" resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. "Inferred" resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred" resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or part of an "inferred" resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Estimates of "inferred" resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. All of Regulus' exploration programs and the related disclosure of information of technical or scientific nature are prepared by, or prepared under the direct supervision of John Black, Regulus' CEO, who is a "qualified person" as defined in NI REGULUS RESOURCES INC.
