Alturas Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ALT) announced today that the Company has signed an agreement with Raymond James Ltd. ("Raymond James"), providing for Raymond James along with CIBC World Markets to act as agents (the "Agents") to raise up to $10 million dollars Canadian by way of a best efforts private placement offering of units (the "Units"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

The Agents will receive a cash commission of 7% of the gross proceeds of the offering on closing, together with compensation options equal in number to 7% of the Units sold under the offering, which compensation options shall entitle the Agents to purchase of Units at the offering price for a period of 18 months after closing.

Dr. Miguel Cardozo, President and CEO said "We are very pleased with the work we have done so far this year on our advanced gold and copper-gold projects in Peru. The proceeds from this financing are expected to allow us to quickly and aggressively progress the drill programs on two of our most advanced projects, Utupara and Banos del Indio, to initiate systematic exploration work in a number of our other promising properties, and to provide working capital".

The offering is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all regulatory approvals.
