     Pacific Copper News Release, Acquires Copper Oxide Property
=======================================================================

Pacific Copper Corp. (OTCBB: PPFP) (CUSIP # 69412U 10 0) through its
Chilean subsidiary, has executed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a
single vendor to acquire its interest in the La Mofralla oxide copper
property located 110 km southeast of the city of Copiapo, Atacama
Region III, Chile.

The La Mofralla property being vended, which consists of close to 250
hectares, is road-accessible and is characterized by oxide copper
mineralization in various sedimentary units encountered at the surface.
La Mofralla is adjacent to the El Corral property which was announced
as a Company acquisition on July 8, 2008.The vendor of the La Mofralla
interest controls roughly 40% of the identified mineralization in the
La Mofralla District.

Mineralization in the form of copper oxides is found in fault zones
throughout the area, and historical production estimated to be 37,500
tons of copper oxides was realized from the Mofralla open pit mine
(which is outside the property being sold by the vendor) over a 10-25
year period through 1999. Selected surface samples from this mine
analyzed in 1999 yielded total copper grades over 1.24% Cu with an
average acid soluble copper grade of 0.7%. The vendor, which is owned
in part by a Director of the Company, will receive 1 million shares of
the Company at closing in exchange for its interest at La Mofralla, and
a 2% NSR royalty, capped at $6 million. The Company has the option to
buy back a 1% NSR for $2 million at any time prior to commercial
production. Major companies with a presence in the general area include
Freeport, Teck Cominco and Xstrata.

The Company anticipates that La Mofralla, subject to confirmation of
resources, a mine plan and feasibility, would eventually be the subject
of open pit, heap leaching copper oxide operations. Currently, Pacific
Copper anticipates commencing an immediate exploration and definitional
drilling campaign at the property which will be pursued through the end
of calendar year 2008.
