Arizona Tribune - Alta Copper Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Financing

A total of 2,941,176 common shares (the "Common Shares") were issued at a price of Cdn$0.51 for gross proceeds of Cdn$1,500,000. The Common Shares issued will be subject to a mandatory four-month and one day hold period, in accordance with applicable securities law.

Giulio T. Bonifacio, Executive Chair and CEO, commented: "The proceeds from the private placement provide the necessary working capital ahead of the commencement of drilling, while minimizing dilution on favorable terms at a price well above our current share price. We continue to make very good progress toward securing the required approvals from both the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the local community which will set the stage for the next phase in the development of our 100% owned advanced staged Cañariaco copper project".

The Private Placement remains subject to the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
