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").

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.

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.
