Lupaka Gold Corp. (TSX:LPK)

announces that it has received assay results on six additional drill holes from the ongoing drilling program being carried out this year on its Crucero Gold Project in southern Peru. The Company reports results on one of the broadest mineralized intercepts ever encountered at Crucero assaying 1.14 g/t gold over 204 metres, and containing several higher grade intercepts of up to 7.3 g/t gold over 6 metres.

About the Company

Lupaka Gold is aggressively exploring and developing the Crucero Gold Project, its 5,500 hectare gold property located in southern Peru. The Company, based in Vancouver, Canada, is project operator and holds a 60% indirect interest in the property and has an option to acquire the remaining 40% indirect interest at any time until July 2015. Since commencing active exploration in April 2010, the Company has reported a NI 43-101 compliant gold resource (see the Company's most recent technical report on sedar.com). In addition to the existing resource, Lupaka Gold has identified several exploration targets within the Crucero Property that display similar anomalous characteristics. Lupaka Gold is led by a strong management team with the proven ability to develop, finance and operate mining projects. The Company completed an initial public offering of its common shares and warrants on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 28, 2011.

Salazar High Grade Intercepts

9.70 Meters of 6.23 g/t Gold, 183.43 g/t Silver, 1.36% Copper, 6.93% Zinc and 1.13% Lead

Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SRL)(FRANKFURT:CCG)

reports new high grade intersections from the ongoing diamond drill program on its 100% owned (30,327 ha), precious metals' rich, Curipamba volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project in Ecuador. The eight holes reported here are part of the on-going diamond drilling program on the El Domo VMS deposit (Tables 1 & 2; Figure 1). The VMS intersections in holes CURI-128, CURI-132 and CURI-135 demonstrate the potential for significant extensions to the El Domo deposit, to the south and beneath the andesite sill to the east.

•CURI-128 intersected 4.55 meters grading 5.21 g/t gold, 321.95 g/t silver, 0.63% copper and 3.59% zinc in massive sulphide mineralization. This is a new area of high grade massive sulphide mineralization at the southern end of the deposit (Figure 1). The mineralization is open to the southwest (Figure 1).

•CURI-132 intersected 15.94 meters grading 0.97 g/t gold, 14.84 g/t silver and 1.85% copper in massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization under the andesite sill. This mineralization is open to the east (Figure 1).

AQM Copper Expands the Victoria Discovery and Intersects 111 Metres of 0.43% Copper

AQM Copper Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AQM)(BVLAC:AQM)

is pleased to announce further results from its Victoria discovery, located east of the Main Zone on the Zafranal Joint Venture Property.

Ongoing drilling at Victoria continues to intercept copper mineralization over significant widths, with the zone remaining open to the east and at depth. Mineralization is hosted by strongly foliated diorite intrusive rocks, emplaced along a regional scale shear zone and in contact with the Coastal Batholith. The mineralized body appears to be parallel to the principal foliation orientation, and is interpreted to form a steep tabular body dipping to the north. Additional chalcocite mineralization has been encountered on the southern side of the zone, which now extends at least 500 metres in strike length and up to 350 metres in width. The true thickness of the zone is up 300 metres.

ABOUT AQM Copper:

AQM Copper Inc. (formerly Apoquindo Minerals) is a Canadian based mineral exploration company developing copper deposits in South America. Through its wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary, Minera AQM Peru SAC, the Company is developing the Zafranal Copper-Gold Porphyry Project located in Southern Peru. Minera AQM Peru SAC is the operator of a 50/50 JV with Teck Resources Limited through a sole purpose Peruvian company formed for Zafranal as announced in its press release on July 8, 2010. The Zafranal project has NI43-101 compliant measured and indicated resources of 301 million tonnes grading 0.47% copper and 0.08 grams per tonne gold, and an inferred resource of 51 million tonnes grading 0.32% copper and 0.06 grams per tonne gold.
