Vancouver, British Columbia – July 26, 2011 – Getty Copper Inc. (“Getty” or the “Company”)

As a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, Getty is issuing the following press release to clarify our disclosure.

The March 31, 2011 interim financial statements have been revised to reflect a statement of changes in equity in comparative format, the presentation of the statement of financial position at the transition date on the face of the financial statements rather than in the notes to the financial statement and to label the reconciliation of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2010.

These amendments were required to comply with IRFS which became effective January 1, 2011.
