A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.


Inca Pacific Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IPR)(BVLAC:IPR) ("Inca Pacific") and
Compania Minera Milpo S.A.A. (BVLAC:MILPOC1) ("MILPO") announce that they have
entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Agreement") dated
September 5, 2011 with respect to a proposed acquisition by MILPO of all of the
issued and outstanding common shares of Inca Pacific (the "Transaction"). The
Transaction will be structured as a statutory arrangement under the provisions
of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).


Transaction Details

Under the terms of the Agreement, shareholders of Inca Pacific will be entitled
to receive C$0.61 in cash for each common share (each, a "Share") of Inca
Pacific held (the "Consideration"). The Consideration represents a 84.8% premium
to the closing price of the Shares on the TSX-V on August 31, 2011, being the
last day the Shares traded on the TSX-V prior to the date hereof, and a 132.4%
premium to the volume weighted average closing price of the Shares on the TSX-V
over the 30 trading days ended August 31, 2011. In addition, holders of options
to acquire Shares (each, an "Option") will be entitled to receive a cash payment
in respect of each Option held equal to the excess, if any, of C$0.61 over the
applicable exercise price of such Option. There are currently 56,647,728 Shares
and 1,444,198 Options outstanding. All out-of-the-money Options will be
cancelled.


Further details regarding the proposed Transaction shall be provided in a
management information circular (the "Circular") which will be mailed to holders
of the Shares and Options in connection with the special meeting to approve the
Transaction (the "Meeting"). Inca Pacific expects to complete and mail the
Circular in the coming weeks and plans to hold the Meeting in late October. The
Transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter.


Inca Pacific's officers and directors and certain arm's length holders of
Shares, representing in aggregate approximately 25.6% of the votes eligible to
be cast by holders of Shares and Options at the Meeting, have entered into a
lock-up and support agreement with MILPO whereby they have agreed to vote their
Shares and Options in favour of the Transaction.


Closing of the Transaction, as contemplated by the Agreement, is subject to a
number of conditions and approvals which include approval of at least 66 2/3% of
the votes cast by holders of Shares and Options at the Meeting, court approval
of the arrangement and the approval of all relevant regulatory authorities and
third parties. Inca Pacific has agreed not to solicit or initiate any discussion
regarding any other business combination or sale of material assets. Inca
Pacific has also granted MILPO a right to match any superior proposal made by a
third party and will pay a termination fee of C$1.25 million to MILPO if the
Agreement is terminated in certain events, including if Inca Pacific recommends
or approves a competing acquisition proposal or enters into an agreement with a
third party with respect to any acquisition proposal.


The board of directors of Inca Pacific has unanimously approved the Transaction
and will recommend the Transaction to the holders of Shares and Options in the
Circular. The board of directors of Inca Pacific has received an opinion from
Raymond James Ltd. that the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view,
to the holders of the Shares.


Any current or future holders of 10% or more of the outstanding Shares may be
subject to Peruvian capital gains tax on a disposition of such Shares. Any such
persons are advised to consult with their tax advisors.
