VANCOUVER, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Peru Copper Inc.

On June 11, 2007 the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Aluminum Corporation of China has agreed to make an offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Peru Copper and make this investment in Peru Copper through the private placement.

All of the common shares issued and sold pursuant to the private placement were purchased and acquired by Chinalco Canada B.C. Holdings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aluminum Corporation of China. As a result of the completion of the private placement, Chinalco now indirectly beneficially owns approximately 9.9% of the outstanding common shares of Peru Copper.
