(the ?Company?), announces that due to strong demand, the Company has agreed to increase the non-brokered private placement previously announced on September 10, 2009 from $450,000 to $750,000. The private placement will now consist of 5,000,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used for exploration expenditures on the Company?s Peruvian properties and for working capital.
