Culpeo Minerals Limited announced that a high impact litho-geochemical sampling program has been initiated at the expanded Lana Corina Copper-Molybdenum Project (the "Project") in Chile. This work is designed to identify highly prospective, copper bearing, surface breccia, alteration, geochemical and structural targets for drill testing. Litho-Geochemical Sampling Program: The litho-geochemical sampling program will cover the >3km prospectivity corridor identified at Lana Corina in areas that have not been previously sampled, and will provide valuable data on the underlying geology, as well as the potential for copper and molybdenum mineralisation.

In these areas particularly, the integration of broad spaced soil sampling multi-element geochemistry with results from the ground magnetic survey will be critical for identifying target areas for drilling. Samples will be taken on a 50 x 100m grid consisting of approximately 260 samples. The samples will be analysed for a suite of 50 elements.

Results are expected to be received in 4 to 6 weeks. Multi-element pathfinder geochemistry will be utilized to characterise the regional targets identified and assist target generation for the next phase of drilling at the Project. Lana Corina Copper-Molybdenum Project: Lana Corina is located in the coastal belt, Coquimbo region of Chile, approximately 350km north of Santiago.

The Project area is close to existing infrastructure with good road access and a high voltage power line approximately 7km to the east. The project is in a prolific copper belt hosting multiple major deposits including Los Pelambres (6.1Bt @ 0.51% Cu, 0.016% Mo and 0.06g/t Au3), Andacollo (250 Mt @ 0.62% Cu and 0.25g/t Au4) and El Espino (123Mt @ 0.66% Cu and 0.24g/t Au5). Lana Corina is associated within a structural zone oriented in a northeast-southwest direction with >3km of strike and up to 400m width.

High grade copper mineralisation at Lana Corina is associated with four known breccia pipes occurring in the upper levels of a large copper bearing porphyry hosted mineralised system. The high-grade mineralisation identified to date outcrops at surface and extends to a vertical depth of >700m. Recently completed drilling at the project has returned significant intersections that include a high-grade Molybdenum zone: 104m @ 0.74% Cu & 73ppm Mo (0.81% CuEq) in CMLCD001 from 155m4; 257m @ 0.95% Cu & 81ppm Mo (1.10% CuEq) in CMLCD002 from 170m5; 173m @ 1.05% Cu & 50ppm Mo (1.09% CuEq) in CMLCD003 from 313m6; 81m @ 1.06% Cu & 145ppm Mo (1.16% CuEq) in CMLCD005 from 302.1m; 113m @ 0.60% Cu & 122ppm Mo (0.68% CuEq) in CMLCD009 from 331m; 169m @ 1.08% Cu and 225ppm Mo (1.21% CuEq) in CMLCD010 from 239m and 72m @ 0.85% Cu and 25ppm Mo (0.91% CuEq) in CMLCD013 from 352m10 with, High-grade molybdenum zone confirmed at depth and extended 700m down plunge: 35m @ 1,704ppm Mo (0.84% CuEq) (570-605m), including: 4m @ 8,845ppm Mo (3.48% CuEq) (589-593m); and 1m@ 15,000ppm Mo (6.09% CuEq) (591-592m).

Prospectivity modelling has identified multiple target areas in the north-east sector of the Lana Corina Project area extending the potential mineralised corridor to >3km strike length. This work indicates significant regional potential for further copper discoveries and provides the Company with a pipeline of high priority drill targets similar in size to the Lana Corina copper mineralised zone where drilling has been focused to date. In addition, mapping of the north-west sector has identified significant surface mineralisation and historic small scale mine workings where geochemical sampling is now underway.

The excellent results of Culpeo's drilling programs and prospectivity modeling continue to strongly support the Company's exploration model of a substantial fertile magma chamber driving the near surface high-grade mineralisation.
