Pre-QT Financing of Alpaca

Further to the Company's press release dated September 24, 2010 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, Alpaca has completed a private placement consisting of four tranches for total gross proceeds of $3,293,003 (the "Pre-QT Financing"), pursuant to which it has issued 32,930,030 units (the "Units") at $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) Alpaca Share and one half of one (1/2) Alpaca Share purchase warrant (an "Alpaca Warrant"). Each Alpaca Warrant is exercisable into one Alpaca Share at an exercise price of $0.25 for a period of 24 months.

Foundation Markets Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Union Securities Ltd. (collectively, the "Agents") acted as agents for a portion of the Pre-QT Financing, with the balance being non-brokered. Commission of 8% cash and 8% broker's warrants was paid to the Agents.

Alpaca plans to use the proceeds of the Pre-QT Financing for exploration, evaluating further acquisition opportunities, and general corporate purposes.

Iron Butte Spin-Out into New Gold Company

Prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is expected that Alpaca will spin out the Iron Butte gold property (the "Iron Butte Property"), which is currently held by its wholly owned subsidiary Arizona-Alpaca Resources Corp. ("AARC"), into a new gold company ("GoldCo"). Initially, Alpaca plans to retain up to 40% interest in GoldCo, while the balance of the shares of AARC will be returned to the Alpaca shareholders as a capital dividend. Alpaca's initial interest in GoldCo, and following completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the resulting issuer's interest in GoldCo, is expected to be diluted by a financing which will be undertaken to fund the GoldCo. It is expected that GoldCo will focus on becoming a publicly listed gold company initially focusing on drilling at the Iron Butte Property with the aim of establishing a 43-101-compliant resource as well as pursuing other synergistic gold property acquisitions. The formation of GoldCo will allow Alpaca to focus on its flagship Hill Copper project while unlocking the value in the Iron Butte Property asset, and will allow its shareholders to have focused exposure to both copper and gold in two pure-play vehicles.

Rae Eastman Promissory Note

On March 1, 2011, SOGC Resources Corp. ("SOGC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpaca, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") with Lesco Enterprises Inc., Stephen M. Rae, David A. Rae.
