Regulus Resources Inc. ("Regulus") (TSX VENTURE:REG) and Pachamama Resources
Ltd. ("Pachamama") (TSX VENTURE:PMA) are pleased to announce the successful
completion of the strategic merger of the two companies pursuant to the
previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). Regulus and
Pachamama each own a 50% interest in the Rio Grande copper-gold porphyry project
in Salta Province, Argentina. 


The requisite approval of the shareholders of Pachamama and the Supreme Court of
British Columbia in connection with the Arrangement were obtained on May 8, 2012
and May 11, 2012, respectively.


Pursuant to the Arrangement, the previous shareholders of Pachamama received
approximately 39 million common shares of Regulus ("Regulus Shares"). In
addition, in connection with the closing of the Arrangement, each of the
23,194,238 subscription receipts sold under the offering which closed on March
6, 2012 have been converted into one Regulus Share and one-half of one Regulus
Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles
the holder to acquire one Regulus Share at $1.60 per share until March 6, 2014.
The Regulus Shares and Warrants issued on conversion of the subscription
receipts are subject to a hold period that expires on July 7, 2012. 


In total, the combined entity has approximately 100 million shares outstanding,
no net debt and working capital of approximately $28 million. 


Following closing of the Arrangement, the Officers of Regulus are: John Black,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Hewgill, Chief Operating Officer,
Kevin Heather, Chief Geological Officer, Mark Wayne, Chief Financial Officer,
Javier Robeto, Vice President, Exploration, and Megan Cameron-Jones, Corporate
Secretary. The Board of Directors consists of John Black, Mark Wayne, John
Leask, Gordon Leask and Jim MacDonald. 


The Arrangement with Pachamama is transformational for Regulus as it
significantly enhances and accelerates Regulus' ability to explore and develop
the Rio Grande copper-gold porphyry project in Salta Province of NW Argentina as
a 100% interest owner.
