Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the
policies of the (TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this
release.
This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All
statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, that address exploration drilling,
exploitation activities and events or developments that the Company expects are forward-looking
statements. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify any historical estimates as
current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the issuer is not treating the historical estimates as
current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Farellon mine was previously in production dating
back to the 1970's with a reported historical production (to a depth of 70 m) yielding approximately
300,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.5% copper and 0.5g/t gold. This material was processed
locally and sold to ENAMI. Altiplano is relying upon past production records, underground sampling
and related activities and current diamond drilling to estimate grade and widths of the mineralization
to reactivate production. The decision to commence production on the Farellon deposit is not based
on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and there is
increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with any production
decision. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-
looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-
looking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, continuity of
mineralization, uncertainties related to the ability to obtain necessary permits, licenses and title and
delays due to third party opposition, changes in government policies regarding mining and natural
resource exploration and exploitation, and continued availability of capital and financing, and general
economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not
guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. For more information on the Company, investors should
