About Azul Ventures Inc.

Azul Ventures Inc. (formerly Himalayan Capital Corp.) is a mineral exploration
company with the rights, through its wholly owned subsidiary Minera Azul
Ventures Limitada, to acquire a 100% interest in a prospective copper-gold
property in La Higuera, Chile (the "La Higuera Property"). The La Higuera
Property, which is located approximately 600 kilometres north of Santiago, was
assembled as a result of the first-time consolidation of mining rights in a
historical copper-gold mining center and is located in a prolific I.O.C.G. belt
surrounded by excellent infrastructure in a mining friendly jurisdiction.


The La Higuera Property covers a historic copper mining district with mining
activity dating back to at least the late 18th century; however, there has been
no known modern exploration conducted on the property. Since the consolidation
of the mining rights in June 2011, Minera Azul has initiated a rock sampling
program, completed geophysical work which has generated intense magnetic and
chargeability anomalies coincident with existing copper workings and has
commenced a 4,000 metre drill program.
