Alturas Minerals Corp. (the "Company" or "Alturas") (TSX VENTURE:ALT)(BVLAC:ALT)
announces that it has accepted subscription forms from a non-brokered financing
of $2,212,944.51 working capital. Funds raised will be used to advance
exploration of the Company's Peru and Chile copper-gold mineral projects and for
general working capital.


Alturas placed 10,537,831 working capital units of the Company at a price of
$0.21 per unit, for gross proceeds of $2,212,944.51. Each unit (a "Unit")
consisted of one common share of the Company and one-half of a share purchase
warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional
common share at $0.32 until the date which is the earlier of: (i) twelve (12)
months from the Closing Date or (ii) in the event that the closing price of the
Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") is at least $0.42 for ten
(10) consecutive trading days, and the 10th trading day (the "Final Trading
Day") is at least four (4) months from the Closing Date, the date which is
thirty (30) days from the Final Trading Day (the "First Closing Date").


The Company paid finders' fees to Kallpa Securities S.A.B. ("Kallpa") of 6.0% of
the funds raised and broker warrants equivalent to 6.0% of the units issued.
Each brokers warrant would enable the holder to acquire common shares at a price
of C$0.32 per share for a period twelve (12) months from Closing. The broker
warrants will also be subject to the acceleration clause as stated above. Kallpa
is a Lima-based corporation dedicated to equity and fixed income sales and
trading and investment banking in general, and acted as the agent to offer
Alturas' shares in Peru.


The securities are subject to a hold period and may not be traded until June 25,
2011 except as permitted by Canadian securities legislation and the TSX Venture
Exchange. 


Dr. Miguel Cardozo, President and CEO said "The $2.21 million financing adds to
the $4.04 million private placement closed in November 2010 and gives Alturas an
excellent financial position to aggressively progress the drill programs on two
of its most advanced copper-gold projects, Utupara-Chapi Chapi and Sombrero and
to continue systematic exploration work in a number of its other promising
properties. After having recently signed a new 2-year agreement with the
Huaquirca community, an environmental base line study has been completed in the
Chapi Chapi area and geological-geophysical work is programmed to start in
March, followed by 5,000 meters of drilling to be commenced at Chapi-Chapi by
the end of May 2011.
