Lumina Intersects 244 Meters Grading 1.36% Copper Equivalent, Including 102 Meters Grading 1.99% Copper Equivalent at Taca Taca-Announces Significant Expansion of Drill Program

Lumina Copper Corp. (TSX VENTURE:LCC)

announce the results of three of the first four holes drilled as part of its 2010 drilling program at its 100% owned Taca Taca copper/molybdenum/gold deposit located in Salta province, Argentina.

The results are highlighted by hole TTBJ01-10 that intersected 244 meters grading 0.77% copper, 0.17g/t gold and 0.033% molybdenum (1.36% copper equivalent(1)) including 102 meters grading 1.31% copper, 0.19 g/t gold and 0.038% molybdenum (1.99% copper equivalent(1)).

These results, in conjunction with previous drilling completed by Rio Tinto in 2008, suggest that a previously unknown zone of higher grade mineralization may be emerging within the existing mineral resource. This zone is open to the north. To date, 3,353 meters of drilling has been completed with the drill rig currently drilling the fifth hole of the program. The drill program has yet to identify a deeper higher grade copper target.
