About Alturas Minerals Corp

Alturas is a Canadian corporation, and is the indirect parent of the Peruvian
company, Alturas Minerals S.A. ("Alturas Peru") and of the Chilean company,
Alturas ChileLimitada ("Alturas Chile"). Alturas Peru has been exploring various
mineral projects in Peru since January 2004. Alturas Chile initiated exploration
activities during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Alturas' exploration
strategy is focused on the discovery of large copper-gold porphyry/skarn
deposits and epithermal gold mineralized deposits.


The principal assets of Alturas are one project in drilling stage Chapi
Chapi-Utupara, and five drill-ready mineral exploration projects located in Peru
and Chile, including the Sombrero, Huajoto, Ccaccapaqui and Pampa Colorada
projects in Peru, and La Corina in Chile. Alturas is also advancing its two
recently acquired gold-copper projects Marilin and Quispe in the Maricunga belt
of northern Chile. Alturas entered into a revised agreement on its Pampa
Colorada property with Origen Group S.A.C. and into an option agreement on its
Ccaccapaqui project with Compania de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (see press
releases dated January 5th, 2012 and January 31st, 2012, respectively). In
addition, Alturas has interests in three other less-advanced exploration
projects in Peru (Callejones, San Antonio and La Divina).
