April 1, 2005

Dear Shareholder:

On February 2, 2005 and March 23, 2005, Lumina announced its intention to proceed with a reorganization of Lumina which will have the result of dividing its present mineral resource assets between four separate public companies: Lumina, Northern Peru Copper Corp. (“Norco”), Global Copper Corp. (“Global”) and Lumina Resources Corp. (“Lumco”). Upon implementation of the corporate restructuring, Lumina will continue to hold the Regalito Option, Norco will hold the Galeno, Molino and Pashpap Properties, Global will hold the Relincho, Vizcachitas, Taca Taca and San Jorge Properties, and Lumco will hold the Canadian resource assets being the Hushamu, Redstone, Casino and Apple Bay Properties. Since the announcement, Lumina has completed reviews of legal, tax, regulatory and other matters and is now able to provide you with complete details of the proposed reorganization in the accompanying Management Proxy Circular.

You are invited to attend a Special Meeting of Shareholders, to be held at the Metropolitan Hotel, 645 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, on Monday, the 9th day of May, 2005 at 1:30 p.m., at which time you will be asked to consider and vote upon the proposed reorganization. Lumina will also hold its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at the same time, thereby avoiding any inconvenience to Shareholders of attending separate meetings which otherwise would have fallen within a short period of time.

Under the reorganization, Lumina’s most advanced project, the Regalito Property located in Chile, which hosts a large Andean type “porphyry copper” deposit that contains a significant amount of supergene and oxide copper mineralization, will remain in Lumina, while Lumina’s other properties and related assets, and a total of approximately $8,776,000 in cash, will be transferred to Norco, Global and Lumco. Lumina will retain approximately $5,530,000. The four separate public companies will be owned by the existing shareholders of Lumina and each will focus on separate resource locations and assets.

Norco, Global and Lumco will each have at least two members of the current Board of Directors of Lumina and in certain cases the management teams will be different. Norco, Global and Lumco will be free to focus on the development of their own properties in different geographic locations. We trust the market will fairly value these exploration assets which currently appear to receive little or no value.

The common shares of Norco, Global and Lumco will be distributed to shareholders of Lumina in proportion to their present shareholdings in Lumina on the basis of one Norco, Global and Lumco share for every one Lumina share held. The reorganization is intended to enhance shareholder value by, improving the identification and the value of the Lumina’s mineral properties, limiting dilution to specific projects, enabling each company to focus on the development of its own properties, and by allowing shareholders to hold an interest in only those projects that interest them.

The reorganization will be implemented by a Plan of Arrangement. When Lumina Shareholders have approved the Plan of Arrangement, final approval will be sought from the Supreme Court of the Province of British Columbia. Details of the Plan of Arrangement are set out in the accompanying Management Proxy Circular.

Lumina’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of the Arrangement and all other matters to be considered at the Meeting. Your attention is directed to the section entitled “The Arrangement - Reasons for the Arrangement” in the accompanying Management Proxy Circular where the Board of Directors’ reasons for recommending the Plan of Arrangement are summarized.

If you are unable to attend the Meeting in person, please complete and return the enclosed form of Proxy so that your shares can be voted at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions.

Yours truly,

“Anthony Floyd”

Anthony Floyd
President and Chief Executive Officer

NOTICE TO UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS

THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”) OR ANY SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE SEC OR SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES PASSED ON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS MANAGEMENT PROXY CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The solicitation and transactions contemplated herein are made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws. Shareholders should be aware that requirements under such Canadian laws may differ from requirements under United States corporate and securities laws relating to United States corporations.

The financial statements and pro-forma and historical financial information included herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”), which differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) in certain material respects, and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable in all respects to financial statements and pro-forma and historical financial information of United States companies. However, Lumina’s audited consolidated financial statements contain a note which summarizes the impact on the financial statements of all material differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP.

See “Income Tax Considerations” in this Management Proxy Circular for certain information concerning tax consequences of the Arrangement for Shareholders who are United States taxpayers.

The definitions of mineral reserves or of mineral resources used herein are those used by Canadian securities regulatory authorities and United States Shareholders should be aware that the definition standards differ in certain respects from those set forth in the SEC Industry Guide 7, which contains the definitions and parameters of disclosure for United States issuers engaged in significant mining operations.

Enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Lumina is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, that most of its officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States, that some or all of the experts named in this Management Proxy Circular may be residents of countries other than the United States and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Lumina and such persons may be located outside the United States.

The Meeting

Time, Date and Place of Meeting

The Annual and Special Meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Shareholders of Lumina will be held on Monday, May 9, 2005, at the Metropolitan Hotel, 645 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, at 1:30 p.m. (Vancouver time).

Purpose of the Meeting

At the Meeting, Shareholders will receive the audited consolidated financial statements of Lumina for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and will be asked to consider, and if thought fit, to pass resolutions approving or confirming the following matters:

  • Electing Directors
  • Appointing Auditors and authorizing Directors to fix their remuneration
  • To approve the New Lumina Plan
  • To approve the Norco Stock Option Plan
  • To approve the Global Stock Option Plan
  • To approve the Lumco Stock Option Plan
  • To change Lumina’s name to “Regalito Copper Corp.”

At the Meeting, Shareholders will also be asked to consider, and if thought fit, to pass a Special Resolution approving the Arrangement.

Meeting Record Date

Lumina has fixed April 1, 2005 as the record date for determining the Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting.

The Arrangement

General

Upon the Arrangement becoming effective, Shareholders of record on the Effective Date will become shareholders of four separate companies: Lumina, Norco, Global and Lumco. Every Shareholder will receive one Norco, Global and one Lumco share for every one Lumina Common Share held on the Effective Date. See “The Arrangement - Details of the Arrangement”.

2


Reasons for the Arrangement

The purpose of the Arrangement is to retain in Lumina the Regalito copper property located in Chile, and to transfer to Norco the Galeno, Molino and Pashpap properties located in Peru; to Global the Relincho and Vizcachitas properties located in Chile and the Taca Taca and San Jorge properties in Argentina, and to Lumco all other of Lumina’s current projects. This reorganization is intended to enhance shareholder value by, inter alia, improving the identification and valuation of Lumina’s mineral properties, allowing Lumina to focus on the Regalito copper property in isolation without impact or future dilution on the other Lumina projects and by allowing Norco to focus on the Peruvian properties, Global to focus on the other two Chilean properties as well as the two Argentinean properties, and Lumco on the remaining current projects, and for each new company to focus on developing their own advanced stage copper properties in the different areas. See “The Arrangement - Reasons for the Arrangement”.

Approvals Necessary for the Arrangement

The Arrangement is subject to a number of approvals which must be obtained prior to implementation, including the following:

Shareholder Approval

Pursuant to the Interim Order, the Arrangement requires the approval of the Shareholders of Lumina. In addition, Section 289 of the BCBCA requires that the Arrangement be approved by the Shareholders. At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit, to pass the Arrangement Resolution, the full text of which is set out in paragraphs 1-5 of Schedule “H” to this Management Proxy Circular. Subject to any further order of the Court, the Interim Order provides that the Arrangement Resolution must be passed by a Special Resolution of the Shareholders voting at the Meeting.

Court Approval

The implementation of the Arrangement is subject to approval by the Court. Prior to the mailing of this Management Proxy Circular, Lumina obtained the Interim Order, a copy of which is attached as Schedule “B” to this Management Proxy Circular. Lumina intends to apply for the Final Order once the Arrangement has been approved by the Shareholders. As set out in the Notice of Hearing of Petition for the Final Order, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on May 12, 2005, or so soon thereafter as counsel may be heard, or at such other date and time as the Court may direct, at the Law Courts, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. A copy of the Notice of Hearing of Petition for the Final Order is attached as Schedule “C” to this Management Proxy Circular. Any Shareholder of Lumina has the right to appear at such hearing and present evidence. At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Plan of Arrangement and the Shareholders’ approval.

Regulatory Approval

The Arrangement is subject to the prior approval of the TSX and AMEX. See “The Arrangement - Approvals Necessary for the Arrangement”.

Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective

The implementation of the Arrangement is subject to a number of specified conditions, including Shareholder, Court and regulatory approval. There can be no assurance that such conditions will be fulfilled. The Arrangement Agreement also provides that it may be terminated in certain circumstances prior to the Effective Date, notwithstanding the approval of the Arrangement by the Shareholders and the Court. See “The Arrangement - Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective”.

Effective Date

The Arrangement will become effective once all of the conditions to proceed with the Arrangement have been satisfied or waived and Lumina’s board of directors determines to make the Arrangement effective. If the requisite

3


approvals of the Shareholders are obtained and the Court grants the Final Order, then Lumina currently anticipates that the Effective Date will be on or about May 18, 2005. See “The Arrangement - Effective Date”.

Distribution of Share Certificates

A form of letter of transmittal containing instructions with respect to the surrender of certificates representing Lumina Common Shares has been forwarded with this Management Proxy Circular to Lumina Shareholders for use, following the Effective Date, in exchanging their certificates for Lumina Common Shares for Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares as well as Lumina New Common Shares. Upon surrender of a properly completed letter of transmittal together with certificates representing Lumina Common Shares to the Transfer Agent, certificates representing the Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares and Lumina New Common Shares, respectively, will be issued and delivered to each such former Lumina Shareholder. See “The Arrangement - Distribution of Share Certificates”.

Recommendation of Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Lumina has reviewed the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and has unanimously concluded that the terms and conditions of the Arrangement are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of Lumina and the Shareholders.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement and all other matters to be considered at the Meeting. See “The Arrangement - Recommendation of Board of Directors”.

Stock Exchange Listings

Lumina

The Lumina Common Shares are currently listed and traded on the TSX and AMEX. Lumina will apply to have the New Lumina Common Shares listed on the TSX and AMEX subject to Lumina complying with the continued listing requirements of the TSX and AMEX.

Norco, Lumco and Global

Norco, Lumco have applied to have their respective common shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement listed for trading on the TSX immediately before the Effective Date. Listing will be subject to each of Norco, Lumco and Global meeting the original listing requirements of the TSX. With respect to Global it is expected that the listing of the Global Common Shares on the TSX will occur after the Effective Date and that the Global Common Shares will not be listed on the Effective Date. There are no assurances as to if, or when, the Norco Common Shares, the Lumco Common Shares or the Global Common Shares will be listed or traded on the TSX indicated above, if ever.

In the event Norco, Lumco and/or Global are unsuccessful in having their shares listed on the TSX they will apply to have their respective common shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement listed and traded on the Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the TSX-V.

Income Tax Considerations

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

In general, a Canadian resident holder of Lumina Common Shares who holds such shares as capital property will not realize a capital gain or capital loss as a result of the Arrangement. The adjusted cost base of the Lumina Common Shares will generally be allocated between the New Lumina Common Shares and the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares based upon the relative fair market values of such shares at the time of the Arrangement. Following the Effective Date, Lumina will advise holders of an appropriate proportionate allocation.

Global Common Shares acquired under the Arrangement will not be a qualified investment for a registered retirement savings plan (a “RRSP”), a registered retirement income fund (a “RRIF”), a deferred profit sharing plan (a “DPSP”) or a registered education savings plan (a “RESP”) at the time of acquisition. As a result, there will be

4


adverse tax consequences to annuitants of RRSP’s and RRIF’s, and to DPSP’s and RESP’s as a consequence of acquiring Global Common Shares. See “Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

In general, a non-resident holder of Lumina Common Shares will not be subject to tax in Canada as a result of the Arrangement. See “Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

Subject to the discussion under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, the receipt of Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares by a U.S. Shareholder (as defined below under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”) should result in taxable income for United States federal income tax purposes. See “Income Tax Considerations – United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Selected Pro Forma Financial Information

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

This Management Proxy Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Lumina for use at the Annual and Special General Meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of Lumina, to be held on Monday, May 9, 2005 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.

Persons or Companies making the Solicitations

The enclosed form of Proxy is solicited by Management. Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of Lumina. Lumina may reimburse shareholders’ nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining authorization from their principals to execute the Proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by Lumina. None of the directors of Lumina have advised that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by Management as set forth in this Management Proxy Circular.

The contents and the sending of this Management Proxy Circular have been approved by the directors of Lumina.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies.

The persons named in the accompanying form of Proxy are directors and/or officers of Lumina. A shareholder has the right to appoint a person to attend and act for him on his behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed form of Proxy. To exercise this right, a shareholder shall strike out the names of the persons named in the Proxy and insert the name of his nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another Proxy. The completed Proxy should be deposited with Lumina’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, Pacific Corporate Trust Company, 10th Floor, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B8, at least 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, excluding Saturdays and holidays.

The Proxy must be dated and be signed by the shareholder or by his attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder may revoke a Proxy either by (a) signing a Proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid, or (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the Proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the Proxy) and either depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, or (c) registering with the scrutineer at the Meeting as a shareholder present in person, whereupon such Proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

Non-Registered Holders

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of Lumina are “non-registered” shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency such as CDS&Co. (the registration for The Canadian Depository for Securities, which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

14


Non-Registered Holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to Lumina are referred to as “NOBO’s”. Those Non-Registered Holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to Lumina are referred to as “OBO’s”.

In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, Lumina has elected to send the notice of meeting, this information circular and the proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) directly to the NOBO’s, and indirectly through Intermediaries to the OBO’s. The Intermediaries (or their service companies) are responsible for forwarding the Meeting Materials to each OBO, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them.

Meeting Materials sent to Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials are accompanied by a request for voting instructions (a “VIF”). This form is used instead of a proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it a Non-Registered Holder is able to instruct the Registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder. VIF’s, whether provided by Lumina or by an Intermediary, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives a VIF wish to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his/her behalf, the Non-Registered Holder may request a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will grant the Non-Registered Holder or his/her nominee the right to attend and vote at the Meeting. Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

All references to Shareholders in this Management Proxy Circular and the accompanying form of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

Voting of Proxies

Lumina Common Shares represented by properly executed Proxies in the accompanying form will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, the Lumina Common Shares represented by such Proxies will be voted accordingly. IF NO CHOICE IS SPECIFIED, THE PERSON DESIGNATED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY WILL VOTE IN FAVOUR OF ALL MATTERS PROPOSED BY MANAGEMENT AT THE MEETING.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Management Proxy Circular, none of the directors or senior officers of Lumina, no proposed nominee for election as a director of Lumina, none of the persons who have been directors or senior officers of Lumina since the commencement of Lumina’s last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Lumina is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares divided into 100,000,000 Lumina Common Shares and 100,000,000 Lumina Preferred Shares. As at April 1, 2005, 20,678,942 Lumina Common Shares and no Lumina Preferred Shares were issued and outstanding.

Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2005 which is a day that is no fewer than thirty days prior to the date of the Meeting (the “Record Date”) who either personally attend the Meeting or who have completed and delivered a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above shall be entitled to vote or to have their Lumina Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Awards

Lumina does not have any long-term incentive plans and, save as disclosed above, no remuneration payments were made, directly or indirectly, by Lumina to its Named Executive Officer during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

An LTIP means “any plan providing compensation intended to serve as an incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year whether performance is measured by reference to financial performance of Lumina or an affiliate or the price of Lumina’s shares but does not include option or stock appreciation rights plans or plans for compensation through restricted shares or units”.

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

Lumina currently has in place a fixed stock option plan (the “Lumina Plan”) for the purpose of attracting and motivating directors, officers, employees and consultants of Lumina and advancing the interests of Lumina by affording such person with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in Lumina through rights granted under the Lumina Plan to purchase Lumina Common Shares. In addition, the Lumina Plan provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 100,000 Lumina Common Shares in each calendar year to those directors, officers, employees and consultants who are deemed to have provided extraordinary contributions to the advancement of Lumina. Any such issuance would be based on performance reviews and recommendations by Lumina’s Compensation Committee. Lumina will be seeking shareholder approval at the Meeting to adopt a new stock option plan. See “Particulars of Other Matters to be Acted Upon – Approval of New Stock Option Plan” below.

During Lumina’s completed financial year ended December 31, 2004, Lumina did not grant any stock options to its Named Executive Officers but did issue to Robert Pirooz and Anthony Floyd 5,000 Bonus Shares each at a value of $5.67 per share.

The Named Executive Officers did not exercise any options during the most recently completed financial year. The following table sets out the financial year-end value of unexercised options, on an aggregated basis, held by the Named Executive Officers:

“Aggregate Value Realized” is calculated by determining the difference between the market value of the securities underlying the options or SARs at the date of exercise and the exercise price of the options or SARs and is not necessarily indicative of the value (i.e. loss or gain) actually realized by the Named Executive Officer.

   
2.

“In-the-Money Options” means the excess of the market value of Lumina’s shares on December 31, 2004 over the exercise price of the options. The closing price of Lumina’s shares on December 31, 2004 was $5.75.

Option and SAR Repricings

There were no repricings of stock options under the Lumina Plan or otherwise during Lumina’s completed financial year ended December 31, 2004.

19


Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan

Lumina does not have a defined benefit or actuarial plan.

Termination of Employment, Change in Responsibilities and Employment Contracts

Lumina does not have any employment contracts with the Named Executive Officers. Lumina has an employment contract with David Strang, its Vice-President Corporate Development. The contract is for an indefinite term and provides for an annual salary of $104,400 as well as for the payment of a discretionary bonus (either in cash, options, or shares of Lumina) and the grant of up to 150,000 stock options and up to 100,000 Bonus Shares under Lumina’s current stock option plan. In addition, Lumina has a contract with P. Leo Hathaway, its Vice-President of Exploration. The contract is for an indefinite term and provides for an annual salary of $122,000 as well as for the payment of a discretionary bonus (either in cash, options, or shares of Lumina) and the grant of up to 150,000 stock options.

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, there are no compensatory plans, contracts or arrangements in place with the Named Executive Officers resulting from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment of the Named Executive Officers with Lumina or from a change in control of Lumina or a change in the Named Executive Officers’ responsibilities following a change in control, where in respect of the Named Executive Officers the value of such compensation exceeds $100,000.

Composition of the Compensation Committee

Lumina has a Compensation Committee presently comprised of John Wright and Aziz Shariff, both of whom are unrelated directors for the purposes of the TSX Guidelines and independent directors for the purposes of the AMEX rules. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee is John Wright. Responsibility for the determination of compensation of Lumina’s executive officers has been delegated to this committee.

Report on Executive Compensation

Lumina’s compensation structure is designed to reward performance and to be competitive with the compensation arrangements of other Canadian resource companies of similar size and scope of operations. Each executive officer’s position is evaluated to establish skill requirements and level of responsibility and this evaluation provides a basis for internal and external comparisons of positions. In addition to industry comparables, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee consider a variety of factors when determining both compensation policies and programs and individual compensation levels. These factors include the long-term interests of Lumina and its shareholders, overall financial and operating performance of Lumina and the Board of Directors’ and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each executive’s individual performance and contribution towards meeting corporate objectives. Executive officers’ compensation is composed of three major components: base salary; cash or share bonus; and stock options. Interested executives do not participate in reviews, discussions or decisions of the Board of Directors regarding this remuneration.

Base salary ranges are determined following a review of market data for similar positions in Canadian resource companies of comparable size and scope of operations. The salary for each executive officer’s position is then determined having regard to the incumbent’s responsibilities, individual performance factors, overall corporate performance, potential for advancement, and the assessment of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of such matters as are presented by management.

The second component of the executive officers’ compensation is cash or a share bonus. In light of a recommendation from the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors may grant executive officers cash or share bonuses. To date the performance criteria and objectives considered by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors for determining the availability of such bonuses include Lumina’s share performance generally and each executive officer’s role in the progress of Lumina’s main mineral projects. During its completed financial year ended December 31, 2004, Lumina issued 10,000 bonus shares under its Stock Option Plan to two executive officers at a value of $5.67 per share (see “Summary of Compensation Table” above).

20


The third component of the executive officers’ compensation is stock options. The Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors, subject to approval by regulatory authorities, may from time to time grant stock options to executive officers under the Lumina Plan. Grants of stock options are intended to align the interests of the executive officers with those of the shareholders over the longer-term. Other than P. Leo Hathaway, Lumina’s Vice-President of Exploration, Lumina did not grant any new stock options to its executive officers during its completed financial year ended December 31, 2004. On June 7, 2004, Lumina granted stock options to P. Leo Hathaway to purchase up to 150,000 common shares for a period of five years at an exercise price of $8.29 per share for 150,000 shares and 50,000 shares at $5.49 per share. P. Leo Hathaway subsequently relinquished 50,000 of the first issue of stock options.

Other than David Strang, Lumina’s Vice-President Corporate Development (“VPCD”) and P Leo Hathaway, Vice-President of Exploration (“VPE”), Lumina does not have any employment contracts with its executive officers. The base salary and bonus of Lumina’s VPCD and VPE are established with reference to the lower of the range of compensation for VPCDs and VPEs of comparable companies. The comparable companies are natural resource companies involved in the acquisition, exploration, financing, and development of mineral properties.

Mr. Anthony Floyd, the President and CEO of Lumina, receives a base salary of $60,000 per year (see “Compensation of Directors” below). The overall base salary compensation for Mr. Floyd is determined on the basis of a review of market data for similar positions in Canadian resource companies of comparable size and scope of operations. In keeping with Lumina’s commitment to maintaining low relative general and administrative costs, Mr. Floyd’s compensation is targeted at the lower quartile of his peer group. The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Floyd’s performance is suitably compensated through the appreciation of his share ownership position in Lumina and the grant of stock options and cash or share bonuses.

Mr. Robert Pirooz, the Vice-President and Secretary of Lumina, receives a base salary of $65,000 per year (see “Compensation of Directors” below). The overall base salary compensation for Mr. Pirooz is determined on the basis of a review of market data for similar positions in Canadian resource companies of comparable size and scope of operations. In keeping with Lumina’s commitment to maintaining low relative general and administrative costs, Mr. Pirooz’s compensation is targeted at the lower quartile of his peer group. The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Pirooz’s performance is suitably compensated through the appreciation of his share ownership position in Lumina and the grant of stock options and cash or share bonuses.

This report on executive compensation was submitted by the Compensation Committee comprising of John Wright and Aziz Shariff.

Compensation of Directors

Lumina has no arrangements, standard or otherwise, pursuant to which directors are compensated by Lumina for their services in their capacity as directors, or for committee participation. However, during its financial year ended December 31, 2004, Lumina used the services of directors and companies owned by directors in order to supervise all geological activities, as well as provide management and other services. These transactions occurred in the normal course of operations. See Summary Compensation Table. In this regard, Lumina paid during the past fiscal year: (i) Floyd Consultants, a sole proprietorship of Anthony Floyd, the CEO, President and a director of Lumina, $60,000 for geological and management consulting services; and (ii) Iris Consulting Ltd., a private company which employs Robert Pirooz, the Vice-President, Secretary and a director of Lumina, $65,000 for management services.

Lumina has a stock option plan for the granting of incentive stock options to its directors, officers and employees. The purpose of granting such options is to assist Lumina in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating Lumina’s directors and to closely align the personal interests of such persons to that of the shareholders. Lumina did not grant any new stock options to its directors during the completed financial year ended December 31, 2004 but issued to Robert Pirooz and Anthony Floyd 5,000 bonus shares each at a value of $5.67 per share.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

Lumina has no compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance as at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

During Lumina’s completed financial year ended December 31, 2004, there were no management functions of Lumina, which were to any substantial degree performed by a person other than a director or senior officer of Lumina.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board of Directors and who are charged with the day-to-day management of Lumina. The Board of Directors is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. The TSX requires that each listed company disclose on an annual basis its approach to corporate governance. The disclosure is required to be made with reference to each of the guidelines (the “TSX Guidelines”) set out in the TSX Company Manual, and where Lumina’s system is different from any of the TSX Guidelines, each difference and the reason for the difference is to be clearly disclosed.

The Board of Directors is of the view that Lumina’s general approach to corporate governance, summarized below, is appropriate and substantially consistent with objectives reflected in the TSX Guidelines. More detailed information regarding Lumina’s approach to corporate governance in the context of the specific TSX Guidelines is set out in Schedule “N” hereto.

22


Board of Directors

Structure and Compensation

The Board of Directors is currently composed of five directors. Except for Ross Cory, all the proposed nominees are current directors of Lumina.

The TSX Guidelines suggest that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “unrelated” directors. An “unrelated” director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to the best interests of Lumina, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, the TSX Guidelines suggest that the board of directors should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the company or the significant shareholder. Of the proposed nominees of Lumina, three are considered by the Board of Directors to be “unrelated” within the meaning of the TSX Guidelines and two are “inside” or management directors and accordingly are considered to be “related”. In assessing the TSX Guidelines and making the foregoing determinations, the circumstances of each director have been examined in relation to a number of factors.

Mandate of the Board of Directors

The mandate of the Board of Directors is to manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of Lumina and to act with a view to the best interests of Lumina. In doing so, the board oversees the management of Lumina’s affairs directly and through its committees. In fulfilling its mandate, the Board of Directors, among other matters, is responsible for reviewing and approving Lumina’s overall business strategies and its annual business plan, reviewing and approving the annual corporate budget and forecast, reviewing and approving significant capital investments outside the approved budget; reviewing major strategic initiatives to ensure that Lumina’s proposed actions accord with shareholder objectives; reviewing succession planning; assessing management’s performance against approved business plans and industry standards; reviewing and approving the reports and other disclosure issued to shareholders; ensuring the effective operation of the Board of Directors; and safeguarding shareholders’ equity interests through the optimum utilization of Lumina’s capital resources.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors meets quarterly to review, among other things, Lumina’s performance. Results are compared and measured against a previously established plan and performance in prior years. The Board of Directors also holds a meeting each year to review and assess Lumina’s financial budget and business plan for the ensuing year and its overall strategic objectives. This process establishes, among other things, benchmarks against which the Board of Directors may measure the performance of management. Other meetings of the Board of Directors are called to deal with special matters, as circumstances require. The Board of Directors met three times during 2004.

Expectations of Management

The Board of Directors expects management to operate the business of Lumina in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute Lumina’s business plan and to meet performance goals and objectives.

Committees

The Board of Directors has assigned specific governance responsibilities to three committees: the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Committee members are appointed annually following Lumina’s annual general meeting. The following is a description of the composition and mandate of each of the committees of the Board of Directors:

23


Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is currently comprised of two independent directors and one non-independent director. A third independent director will replace the non-independent director on the Audit Committee on or before July 31, 2005, for the purposes of the TSX Guidelines and the AMEX rules. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Aziz Shariff. All members of the Audit Committee are financially literate. Lumina considers “financial literacy” to be the ability to read and understand a company’s fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and a cash flow statement. The members of the Audit Committee are elected by the Board of Directors at its first meeting following the annual shareholders’ meeting to serve one year terms and are permitted to serve an unlimited number of consecutive terms.

Senior management, as overseen by the Board of Directors, has primary responsibility for Lumina’s financial reporting, accounting systems and internal controls. The Audit Committee is a standing committee of the Board of Directors established to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities in this regard. To fulfill its responsibilities and duties, the Audit Committee shall:

(a)

Review Lumina’s financial statements, MD&A and any annual and interim earnings, press releases before Lumina publicly discloses this information and any reports or other financial information (including quarterly financial statements), which are submitted to any governmental body, or to the public, including any certification, report, opinion, or review rendered by the external auditors.

   
(b)

Confirm that adequate procedures are in place for the review of Lumina’s public disclosure of financial information extracted or derived from Lumina’s financial statements.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is comprised of two directors, both of which are unrelated directors for the purposes of the TSX Guidelines and independent directors for the purposes of the AMEX rules. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee is John Wright. The Compensation Committee determines the salary and benefits of the

24


executive officers of Lumina, determines the general compensation structure, policies and programs of Lumina, administers Lumina’s stock option plan, and delivers an annual report to shareholders on executive compensation.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee is comprised of two directors, both of whom are unrelated directors for the purposes of the TSX Guidelines and independent directors for the purposes of the AMEX rules. The Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee is John Wright. The Nominating and Governance Committee: oversees the effective functioning of the Board of Directors; oversees the relationship between the Board of Directors and management of Lumina; ensures that the Board of Directors can function independently of management at such times as is desirable or necessary; assists the Board of Directors in providing efficient and effective corporate governance for the benefit of shareholders; identifies possible nominees for the Board of Directors; and reviews the qualifications of possible nominees for, and current members, of the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee also annually reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to: (i) the size and composition of the Board of Directors; (ii) the appropriateness of the committees of the Board of Directors, their mandates and responsibilities and the allocation of directors to the committees; (iii) the appropriateness of the terms of the mandate and responsibilities of the Board of Directors; (iv) the compensation of the directors of Lumina; (v) the directorships held by Lumina’s directors and officers in other corporations; (vi) Lumina’s nominees on the boards of directors of its subsidiaries and other corporations; and (vii) the corporate objectives which the President and Chief Executive Officer of Lumina is responsible for meeting, the assessment of the President and Chief Executive Officer of Lumina by the Board of Directors against these objectives and the appropriateness of the duties and responsibilities of the President and Chief Executive Officer.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

None of the directors or senior officers of Lumina, or any of its associates or affiliates, are or have been indebted to Lumina at any time since the beginning of the last completed financial year of Lumina.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No director, senior officer, or other insider of Lumina, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of Lumina, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of Lumina’s last completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect Lumina other than as disclosed herein and as follows:

1.

Anthony Floyd, the CEO, President and a director of Lumina, purchased 7,500 flow-through Lumina Common Shares at a price of $6.10 per share pursuant to a private placement completed on December 2, 2004. In addition, Anthony Floyd purchased 100,000 Lumina Common Shares at a price of $ 1.50 per share pursuant to the exercise of 100,000 share purchase warrants on December 21, 2004 and received 5,000 Lumina Common Shares as a bonus under the Lumina Stock Option Plan.

   
2.

Robert Pirooz, the Vice-President, Secretary and a director of Lumina, purchased 7,500 flow-through Lumina Common Shares at a price of $6.10 per share pursuant to a private placement completed on December 2, 2004. In addition, Robert Pirooz purchase a total of 100,000 Lumina Common Shares at a price of $1.50 per share pursuant to the exercise of 100,000 share purchase warrants on various dates in 2004 and received 5,000 Lumina Common Shares as a bonus under the Lumina Stock Option Plan.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Change of Name of Lumina

If the Shareholders approve the Arrangement, Management proposes to change the name of Lumina to “Regalito Copper Corp.”, or such other name as may be approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and the British Columbia Registrar of Companies. Shareholders will therefore be asked to approve the following Special Resolution:

25


“BE IT RESOLVED, by Special Resolution, that:

  1.

The name of Lumina be changed to “Regalito Copper Corp.”, or such other name as may be approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and the British Columbia Registrar of Companies;

     
  2.

The Articles of Lumina be altered accordingly; and

     
  3.

Any director or officer of Lumina is authorized and directed to sign all documents and to do all things necessary or desirable to effect such alteration including the filing of a Notice of Alteration to a Notice of Articles with the Registrar of Companies.”

In the event that the Shareholders do not approve this Special Resolution, Lumina will not proceed with a change of its name. Management of Lumina recommends that the Shareholders approve this Special Resolution.

Approval of New Stock Option Plan

Lumina presently has a fixed stock option plan in place pursuant to which Lumina can issue a maximum of 1,390,943 Shares, including 100,000 bonus shares. Lumina currently has 1,035,000 stock options outstanding representing 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Lumina and 243,410 options remain available to grant, representing 1.08% of Lumina’s issued and outstanding share capital. The board of directors wish to now replace and seek shareholder approval for the adoption of a 10% “rolling” stock option plan (the “New Lumina Plan”) whereby Lumina is authorized to grant stock options of up to 10% of its issued and outstanding shares, from time to time. The directors are of the view that it is in the best interests of Lumina to implement the New Lumina Plan, which will enable the directors to grant options to directors, officers, employees and other service providers as a means of rewarding positive performance and providing incentive to effectively manage the affairs of Lumina.

In addition, the directors of Lumina wish to seek shareholder approval to include a provision for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 200,000 Lumina Common Shares (the “Bonus Shares”) in each calendar year to those directors, officers, employees and consultants who are deemed to have provided extraordinary contributions to the advancement of Lumina. Any such issuance would be based on performance reviews and recommendations by Lumina’s Compensation Committee.

The following information is intended as a brief description of the New Lumina Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the New Lumina Plan which is attached hereto as Schedule “O”:

(a)

all options will be non-assignable and non-transferable.

     
(b)

a maximum of 10% of the issued shares of Lumina, from time to time inclusive of the Bonus Shares, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options.

     
(c)

the exercise price of any options granted under the New Lumina Plan will be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, but shall not be less than the weighted average market price of the 5 trading days prior to the date the option is granted.

     
(d)

the number of shares which may be reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to Insiders under the New Lumina Plan, together with all of Lumina’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Lumina on a non-diluted basis. The number of option shares and Bonus Shares which may be issuable under the New Lumina Plan, together with all of Lumina’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, within a one-year period:

     
(i)

to Insiders in aggregate, shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding issue; and

     
(ii)

to any one optionee who is an Insider and any Associates of such Insider, shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding issue.

26



(e)

subject to prior shareholder approval, the New Lumina Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to any one individual during a one year period to 5% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

   
(f)

the New Lumina Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to a consultant or an employee performing investor relations activities during a one year period to 2% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

   
(g)

the New Lumina Plan limits the exercise period of any option grant to 10 years from the date of grant, or such lesser period as determined by the directors of Lumina.

   
(h)

upon expiry of an option, or in the event an option is otherwise terminated for any reason, without having been exercised in full, the number of shares in respect of the expired or terminated option will again be available for the purposes of the New Lumina Plan.

   
(i)

if the option holder ceases to be a director of Lumina or ceases to be employed by Lumina (other then by reason of death), as the case may be, then the option granted will expire on no later than the 30th day following the date that the option holder ceases to be a director or ceases to be employed by Lumina, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the New Lumina Plan.

   
(j)

disinterested shareholder approval must be obtained for (i) any reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding option, if the option holder is an insider; and (ii) any grant of options to any one individual, within a 12 month period, exceeding 5% of Lumina’s issued shares.

   
(k)

for stock options granted to employees, consultants or management company employees, Lumina represents that the proposed optionee is a bona fide employee, consultant or management company employee, as the case may be.

   
(l)

options will be reclassified in the event of any consolidation, subdivision, conversion or exchange of Lumina’s common shares.

the Board of Directors may make certain amendments to the New Lumina Plan or any option without shareholder approval. The directors have the authority to make changes such as: amendments of a “housekeeping” nature; a change to the vesting provisions of an option or the New Lumina Plan; a change to the termination provisions of an option or the New Lumina Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; and the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying options from the New Lumina Plan reserve. Amendments which reduce the exercise price or extend the term of an option held by an insider or which increase the fixed maximum percentage of common shares issuable under the New Lumina Plan will require shareholder approval. Any amendment to the New Lumina Plan is also subject to the acceptance of the TSX.

The New Lumina Plan will be administered by Lumina’s secretary or such other senior officer or employee as may be designated by the Board of Directors from time to time. Upon the approval of the New Lumina Plan by Lumina’s shareholders, shareholder approval will not be required or sought on a case-by-case basis for the purpose of the granting of options to and the exercise of options by employees of Lumina or its affiliates regularly employed on a full-time or part-time basis, directors of Lumina and persons who perform services for Lumina on an ongoing basis or who have provided, or are expected to provide, services of value to Lumina.

Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit to approve the following resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED BY AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT :

  1.

The New Lumina Plan, as more particularly described in the Management Proxy Circular dated April 1, 2005, and the transactions contemplated therein are hereby approved; and

     
  2.

Any director or officer of Lumina is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver, under corporate seal or otherwise, all such documents and instruments and to do all such acts as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution.”

THE ARRANGEMENT

General

The purpose of the Arrangement is to reorganize Lumina and its present operations into four separate public companies: Lumina, Norco, Global and Lumco. On the Effective Date, each of Lumina, Norco, Global and Lumco will have the same shareholders and each shareholder will have the same percentage interest in each of Lumina, Norco, Global and Lumco as they had in Lumina prior to the Effective Date.

Each Shareholder on the Effective Date will, as of the Effective Date, hold one New Lumina Common Share, one Norco Common Share, one Global Common Share and one Lumco Common Share for each Lumina Common Share held by such Shareholder on the Effective Date.

Lumina

Lumina was incorporated by registration of its Memorandum and Articles under the BCBCA on March 3, 2000 under the name “First Trimark Ventures Inc.” On May 23, 2003 Lumina changed its name to Lumina Copper Corp. The Lumina Common Shares are currently listed on the TSX under the trading symbol “LCC” and on AMEX under the trading symbol “LCC”. Lumina is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and the United States and it files its annual information forms, annual and interim financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and other continuous disclosure documents with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each such province and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These public disclosure documents are available under Lumina’s profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com or on the United States Securities and Exchange Commission website which can be accessed at www.sec.gov.

The following diagram shows Lumina and its subsidiaries, the laws under which they were incorporated and the dates on which they came into existence:

28


Upon completion of the Arrangement, it is proposed that Lumina will retain its option interest in the Regalito copper property located in Chile. It is further proposed that the New Lumina Common Shares will continue to be listed on the TSX and AMEX, subject to Lumina complying with the continued listing requirements of the TSX and AMEX. The Arrangement is subject to the prior approval of both the TSX and AMEX. There can, however, be no assurances as to whether Lumina will be able to maintain its listing on either the TSX or AMEX.

For a description of the business to be carried on by Lumina following the completion of the Arrangement see Schedule “I” hereto.

Norco

Norco was incorporated under the BCBCA on February 28, 2005 for the purposes of carrying out the Arrangement. Upon completion of the Arrangement, it is proposed that Norco will hold the Galeno, Molino and Pashpap Properties located in Peru. For a description of the business to be carried on by Norco following the completion of the Arrangement see Schedule “J” hereto.

Norco will seek to have the Norco Common Shares listed for trading on the TSX immediately prior to the Effective Date. Listing will be subject to Norco meeting the original listing requirements of the TSX. If Norco is unsuccessful in having its shares listed on the TSX, Norco will apply to have the Norco Common Shares listed and traded on the TSX-V. There can, however, be no assurances as to if, or when, the Norco Common Shares will be listed and called for trading on either the TSX or the TSX-V.

Global

Global was incorporated under the BCBCA under the name Continental Copper Corp. on February 28, 2005 for the purposes of carrying out the Arrangement. On March 23, 2005 Global changed its name to its current name. Upon completion of the Arrangement, it is proposed that Global will hold the Relincho and Vizcachitas properties located in Chile and the Taca Taca and San Jorge Properties located in Argentina. For a description of the business to be carried on by Global following the completion of the Arrangement see Schedule “K” hereto.

The Global Common Shares will not be listed on the TSX or the TSX-V on the Effective Date. Management anticipates that Global will seek to have the Global Common Shares traded on the TSX following completion of the Arrangement but subsequent to the Effective Date. Listing will be subject to Global meeting the original listing requirements of the TSX. If Global is unsuccessful in having its shares listed on the TSX it will apply to have the Global Common Shares listed and traded on the TSX-V. There can, however, be no assurances as to if, or when, the Global Common Shares will be listed and called for trading on the TSX or the TSX-V.

Lumco

Lumco was incorporated under the BCBCA on February 28, 2005 for the purposes of carrying out the Arrangement. Upon completion of the Arrangement, it is proposed that Lumco will hold Lumina’s remaining assets, the Canadian copper properties, Casino, Apple Bay, Redstone and Hushamu. For a description of the business to be carried on by Lumco following the completion of the Arrangement see Schedule “L” hereto.

Lumco will seek to have the Lumco Common Shares listed for trading on the TSX immediately prior to the Effective Date. Listing will be subject to Lumco meeting the original listing requirements of the TSX. If Lumco is unsuccessful in having its shares listed on the TSX, Lumco will apply to have the Lumco Common Shares listed and traded on the TSX-V. There can, however, be no assurances as to if, or when, the Lumco Common Shares will be listed and called for trading on either the TSX or the TSX-V.

Reasons for the Arrangement

The Board of Directors has concluded that the proposed corporate reorganization pursuant to the Arrangement is in the best interests of Lumina and its Shareholders, and is designed to enhance Shareholder value, for the following reasons:

29



(a)

Outside of Lumina’s option interest in the Regalito Property in Chile, Lumina owns numerous other mineral exploration properties in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Canada. Considerable funds have been spent by others to advance these projects that are now at various stages of development. Management had expected the market valuations of these projects to increase however despite increases in copper prices these projects are currently receiving little or no market valuation due to the high profile of the Regalito Property;

   
(b)

Lumina’s primary focus is the development of the Regalito property;

   
(c)

The formation of Global, Norco and Lumco to hold the non Regalito properties will improve the identification and valuation of these other copper projects;

   
(d)

The formation of Global, Norco and Lumco will facilitate separate fund-raising, exploration and development strategies that will be required to develop each set of properties without the corresponding dilution to the Shareholders; and

   
(f)

Funding the exploration and development projects other than the Regalito property in three separate companies will allow those projects to be advanced in a more timely fashion and will allow the Canadian and American equity markets to focus more specifically on such projects and ascribe an appropriate value to them.

Details of the Arrangement

On the Effective Date, the following will occur and be deemed to occur in the following order, unless otherwise noted, without further act or formality and with each transaction or event being deemed to occur immediately after the occurrence of the transaction or event immediately preceding it:

Arrangement Agreement

Lumina has entered into the Arrangement Agreement for the purpose of carrying out the Plan of Arrangement and consummating the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement. The Arrangement Agreement contains covenants, conditions and termination provisions by which the parties to the Arrangement Agreement are bound. The parties to the Arrangement Agreement have also made certain representations and warranties to each other and have agreed to certain other terms and conditions which are standard in a transaction of the nature embodied by the Arrangement. In addition, the Arrangement Agreement provides that it may be amended by Lumina before or after the Meeting without further notice to, or the approval of, the Shareholders. The full text of the Arrangement Agreement is attached as Schedule “G” to this Management Proxy Circular and the Plan of Arrangement is attached as Appendix I to the Arrangement Agreement.

Approvals Necessary for the Arrangement

Shareholder Approval

As provided in the Interim Order, in order for the Arrangement to become effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be passed, with or without variation, by the Shareholders by Special Resolution. The full text of the Arrangement Resolution is substantially as set out in paragraph 4 of Schedule “H” to this Management Proxy Circular.

Court Approval

A statutory arrangement under the BCBCA requires Court approval. Prior to the mailing of this Management Proxy Circular, Lumina obtained the Interim Order which, among other things, provides for the calling and holding of the Meeting, and certain other procedural matters, and caused to be issued a Notice of Hearing of Petition for the Final Order to approve the Arrangement. The Interim Order does not constitute approval of the Arrangement by the Court. A copy of the Interim Order and the Notice of Hearing of Petition for the Final Order are set forth in Schedules “B” and “C”, respectively, to this Management Proxy Circular.

As set out in the Notice of Hearing of Petition, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) on May 12, 2005, or so soon thereafter as counsel may be heard, or at such other date and time as the Court may direct at the Law Courts, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, subject to approval by the Shareholders of Lumina of the Arrangement. Any Shareholder of Lumina has the right to appear at such hearing and present evidence or argument, subject to the rules of the Court. The Interim Order provides that any Shareholder wishing to appear in opposition to the petition for the Final Order must give Lumina at least one week notice of the Shareholder’s intention to do so.

The authority of the Court is very broad under section 291 of the BCBCA. Lumina has been advised by its legal counsel that the Court may make any inquiry it considers appropriate and may make any order it considers appropriate with respect to the Arrangement. The Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness to the Shareholders of the Arrangement in its entirety. The Court may approve the Arrangement either as proposed or as amended in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court considers fit. The Court will be advised, prior to the hearing, that the Court’s approval of the Arrangement will form the basis for an exemption from registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof with respect to the New Lumina Common Shares, the Global Common Shares, the Norco Common Shares and the Lumco Common Shares to be distributed pursuant to the Arrangement.

Regulatory Approval

The Arrangement is subject to prior approval of the TSX and AMEX.

Consequences if Approvals Not Obtained

If the Arrangement is not approved by the Shareholders or the Court in the manner described above, the Arrangement will not be completed.

34


Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective

In addition to Shareholder, Court and regulatory approval, the Arrangement Agreement provides that the implementation of the Arrangement is subject to satisfaction of various conditions on or prior to the Effective Date, certain of which are summarized below:

(a)

the Arrangement with or without amendment, will have been approved by the Shareholders;

   
(b)

the TSX and the Amex will have conditionally accepted the Arrangement and the TSX shall have confirmed that immediately prior to the Effective Date, the Series 1, 2 and 3 Special Shares of Lumina issuable under the Arrangement will be listed on the TSX;

   
(c)

the TSX or in the alternative the TSX-V will have conditionally accepted the Arrangement and confirmed that immediately prior to the Effective Date, the Norco Common Shares and the Lumco Common Shares issuable under the Arrangement will be listed on the TSX or Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the TSX-V;

   
(d)

all other consents, orders, rulings, approvals and assurances, including regulatory and judicial approvals and orders required, necessary or desirable for the Arrangement to become effective will have been obtained or received from the persons, authorities or bodies having jurisdiction in the circumstances, in a form acceptable to Lumina;

   
(e)

there will not be in force any order or decree restraining or enjoining the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;

   
(f)

unless otherwise determined by management, notices of dissent have not been delivered by Shareholders holding greater than 1% of the outstanding Lumina Common Shares; and

   
(g)

the Arrangement Agreement will not have been terminated as provided for therein.

Certain of the foregoing conditions may be waived.

Management of Lumina believes that all material consents, orders, rulings, approvals and assurances required to complete the Arrangement will be obtained prior to the Effective Date in the normal course upon application therefore. There can, however, be no assurance that all of the conditions to the Arrangement will be fulfilled prior to the Effective Date. The fulfillment of certain of the conditions may be waived by mutual agreement of Lumina, Norco, Global and Lumco.

Notwithstanding the fulfilment, or waiver, of the foregoing and other conditions, the Board of Directors may decide at any time before or after the Meeting and prior to the Effective Date not to proceed with the Arrangement, in which event the Arrangement Agreement will be terminated without any further action on the part of the Shareholders or the Court. The Board of Directors considers it appropriate to retain the flexibility not to proceed with the Arrangement should some event occur prior to the Arrangement becoming effective which in the opinion of the Board of Directors makes it inappropriate to complete the Arrangement. The Arrangement Resolution to be considered and passed by the Shareholders at the Meeting authorizes such action by the Board of Directors.

Effective Date

Upon receipt of Shareholder, Court and regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of all other conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, the Board of Directors intends to make the Arrangement effective. Making the Arrangement effective will be subject to obtaining the Final Order of the Court. If the Final Order approving the Arrangement is granted on May 12, 2005, it is expected that the Effective Date will be on or about May 18, 2005. Lumina will announce the Effective Date through the media following receipt of the Final Order.

Distribution of Share Certificates

A form of letter of transmittal containing instructions with respect to the surrender of certificates representing Lumina Common Shares has been forwarded with this Information Circular to Lumina Shareholders for use, following the Effective Date, in exchanging their certificates for Lumina Common Shares for Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares as well as Lumina New Common Shares. Upon surrender of a properly completed letter of transmittal together with certificates representing Lumina Common Shares to the Transfer Agent, certificates

35


representing the Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares and Lumina New Common Shares, respectively, will be issued and delivered to each such former Lumina Shareholder.

Treatment of Fractional Interests

Under the Arrangement, no fractional shares will be issued and fractional interests in Lumina Special Shares (which will be exchanged for Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares) will be rounded down to the nearest whole Lumina Special Share.

Intentions of Management

All of the directors and officers of Lumina have indicated their intention to vote all of their Lumina Common Shares in favour of the Arrangement and the other business to be transacted at the Meeting.

Recommendations of Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has reviewed the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and has unanimously concluded that the terms of the Arrangement are fair and reasonable to, and are in the best interests of Lumina and the Shareholders.

In arriving at their recommendation, the Board of Directors considered, among other matters:

(a)

the conclusions of the Board of Directors and management of Lumina with respect to the increase in shareholder value. See “The Arrangement - Reasons for the Arrangement”;

   
(b)

the terms of the Arrangement, which will result in Shareholders continuing to own immediately after the Arrangement no less than their current proportionate voting and equity interest in all of the assets currently held by Lumina through their ownership in all of the outstanding common shares of Lumina, Global, Norco and Lumco;

   
(c)

the procedures by which the Arrangement will be approved, including the two-thirds majority approval required by Shareholders at the Meeting, and the requirement of Court approval; and

   
(d)

the tax treatment of Shareholders under the Arrangement.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and all other matters to be considered at the Meeting.

Effect of the Arrangement on Certain Outstanding Securities of Lumina

Share Purchase Warrants

All outstanding Warrants contain standard anti-dilution provisions that will be triggered by the implementation of the Arrangement. Under the Arrangement, each whole Lumina Warrant outstanding on the Effective Date will, upon exercise of such Lumina Warrant after the Effective Date, entitle the holder thereof to receive one New Lumina Common Share, one Norco Common Share, one Global Common Share and one Lumco Common Share at an aggregate exercise price equal to the exercise price provided for in the certificate representing such Lumina Warrant, subject to the terms and conditions contained in such certificate.

Holders of Lumina Warrants will not be permitted to exercise Lumina Warrants to purchase New Lumina Common Shares, Lumco Common Shares, Global Common Shares or Norco Common Shares separately from each other.

Lumina will use the net proceeds from the exercise of any Lumina Warrants after the Effective Date to acquire Lumco, Global and Norco Common Shares by exercising its warrants such that Lumina will receive 95.1% of the net proceeds per New Lumina share issued, Lumco will receive .8% of the net proceeds per Lumco Common Share issued, Global will receive 3.4% of the net proceeds per Global Common Share issued and Norco will receive .7% of the net proceeds per Norco Common Share issued. Upon receipt of such funds, Lumco, Global and Norco will issue and deliver to Lumina the certificate representing the new Lumco Common Shares, Global Common Shares

36


and Norco Common Shares to which Lumina is entitled and Lumina will assign and deliver the Lumco, Global, and Norco Common Shares to the Lumina Warrantholder.

Stock Options

On the Effective Date, each whole Lumina Option outstanding on the Effective Date will be exchanged for one whole Lumco Option, one whole Norco Option, one whole Global Option and one whole New Lumina Option. The exercise price of each of the new options will be .8% of the Exercise Price for the Lumco Option, .7% of the Exercise Price for the Norco Option, 3.4% of the Exercise Price for the Global Option and 95.1% of the Exercise Price for the New Lumina Option.

In addition, the boards of directors of Lumina, Norco, Global and Lumco may grant incentive stock options to purchase Lumina, Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares to their respective directors, officers, employees and consultants in amounts to be determined by the respective boards of directors at exercise prices in compliance with the requirements of, where appropriate, the TSX, AMEX and TSX-V.

Bonus Shares

After the Effective Date, if Lumina, at any time issues Bonus Shares to a party pursuant to the Lumina Stock Option Plan in connection with an agreement entered into prior to the Effective Date then Lumco, Global and Norco will issue and deliver to that party a certificate representing the same number of new Lumco Common Shares, Global Common Shares and Norco Common Shares as Lumina issued to the party.

Potential Future Stock Issuances by Lumina

In order to complete the purchase of the Galeno and Relincho Properties Lumina has either the option to issue shares to the vendor as part of the consideration to complete the purchase of the subject property. It is anticipated that the Galeno Property will be transferred to Norco and the Relincho Property to Global. As a term of the Arrangement Agreement both Norco and Global have agreed that unless otherwise agreed by all of the affected parties they will not exercise the right to issue shares to the vendor as part of the consideration to complete the purchase of their respective properties.

Fees and Expenses

All costs relating to the Arrangement, including technical, accounting and legal fees, will be borne by Lumina.

Securities Laws Considerations

Canadian Securities Laws

The issue of the New Lumina Common Shares, the Lumina Special Shares and the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares, including the issuance of Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares upon the exercise of Lumina Options and Warrants after the Effective Date, pursuant to the Arrangement, will be made pursuant to exemptions from the registration and prospectus requirements contained in applicable provincial securities legislation or, where required, exemption orders or rulings from various securities commissions and regulatory authorities in the provinces and territories of Canada where registered Shareholders of Lumina are resident. Lumina is currently a “reporting issuer'” under the applicable securities legislation in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Under applicable provincial securities laws the New Lumina Common Shares and Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares received by Shareholders, holders of Lumina Options or holders of Lumina Warrants in connection with the Arrangement may be resold in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario without hold period restriction (provided that no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or create a demand for these securities and no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect of the sale). Resales of New Lumina Common Shares and Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares will be subject to resale restrictions where the sale is made from either the holdings of any person, company or combination of persons or companies holding a sufficient number of New Lumina Common Shares, Norco Common Shares, Global Common Shares or Lumco Common Shares, as the case may be, to affect materially the control of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco, respectively.

37


Holders of New Lumina Common Shares, Norco Common Shares, Global Common Shares or Lumco Common Shares should seek legal advice prior to any resale of such securities to ensure the resale is made in compliance with the requirements of applicable securities legislation. Resales of securities acquired in connection with the Arrangement may be required to be made through properly registered securities dealers.

United States Securities Laws

The issue of the New Lumina Common Shares, the Lumina Special Shares and the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares in connection with the Arrangement will not be registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and will be effected in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act and exemptions provided under the securities laws of each state of the United States. Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act exempts from registration a security which is issued in exchange for outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have a right to appear, by a court or by a governmental authority expressly authorized by law to grant such approval. Accordingly, the Final Order will, if granted, constitute the basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act with respect to the above-named securities issued in connection with the Arrangement.

The New Lumina Common Shares and the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Lumina Warrants after the Effective Date have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States. As a result, such Lumina Warrants may not be exercised by or on behalf of a U.S. person or in the United States, as these terms are defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act, unless the New Lumina Common Shares and the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Lumina Warrants are registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration is available. Unless the New Lumina Common Shares and the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Lumina Warrants are registered or exempt under the 1933 Act, holders of the Lumina Warrants who are U.S. persons or resident in the United States must either resell the Lumina Warrants to persons outside the United States or permit the Lumina Warrants to expire.

The New Lumina Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Lumina Options after the Effective Date have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States. As a result, such Lumina Options may not be exercised by or on behalf of a U.S. person or in the United States, as these terms are defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act, unless the New Lumina Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Lumina Options are registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration is available. Unless the New Lumina Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Lumina Options are registered or exempt under the 1933 Act, holders of Lumina Options who are U.S. persons or resident in the United States may not be able to exercise their Lumina Options and may be required to permit their Lumina Options to expire.

The New Lumina Common Shares and the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement will not be registered under the 1933 Act in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. The restrictions on resale imposed by the 1933 Act will depend on whether the holder of Lumina or Norco, Global and Lumco securities, respectively, is or, following the Arrangement, will be an "affiliate'' of the issuer of such securities. As defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer.

Persons who are not and following the Arrangement will not be affiliates of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco, respectively, may resell their securities of such issuer in the United States without restriction under the 1933 Act and, provided the recognized securities manual exemption or other exemption is available, under the securities laws of the states of the United States.

Persons who are or after the Arrangement will be an affiliate of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco, respectively, may not resell their securities of such issuer in the absence of registration under the 1933 Act, unless such sales comply with the exemption from registration contained in Rule 145(d) under the 1933 Act, or unless registration is not required pursuant to the exclusion from registration provided by Regulation S under the 1933 Act.

38


In general, under Rule 145(d) as currently in effect, persons who are or after the Arrangement will be affiliates of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco, respectively, will be entitled to resell in the United States during any three-month period that number of securities of the issuer that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding class of securities or, if such securities are listed on a United States securities exchange or traded on NASDAQ, the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four-week period preceding the date of sale, subject to certain restrictions on manner of sale, aggregation rules and the availability of public information about the issuer. Affiliates of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco, respectively, who are not affiliates of the issuer following the Arrangement, and who hold their securities of such issuer for a period of one year after the Arrangement, may resell such securities without regard to the volume and manner of sale limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, subject to the availability of certain public information about the applicable issuer. Affiliates of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco, respectively, who are not affiliates of the issuer following the Arrangement, have not been affiliates during the three months preceding the date of sale, and who hold their securities of such issuer for a period of two years after the Arrangement, may resell such securities without any restrictions under the 1933 Act and, provided the recognized securities manual exemption or other exemption is available, under the securities laws of the states of the United States.

Subject to certain limitations, all holders of New Lumina Common Shares, Norco Common Shares, Global Common Shares and Lumco Common Shares and the Lumina Warrants outstanding after the Effective Date may immediately resell such securities outside the United States without registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act. Generally, subject to certain limitations, holders of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco securities following the Arrangement who are not affiliates of the respective issuer, or who are affiliates of such issuer solely by virtue of their status as an officer or director of the issuer may, under the securities laws of the United States, resell their securities of such issuer in an “offshore transaction” (which would include a sale through the TSX) if neither the seller, an affiliate of the seller, nor any person acting on their behalf engages in any “directed selling efforts” in the United States. For the purposes of Regulation S, “directed selling efforts” means “any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the securities being offered” in the resale transaction. Certain additional restrictions and qualifications are applicable to a holder of Lumina, Norco, Global or Lumco securities who are affiliates of such issuer.

The New Lumina Common Shares, the Norco Common Shares, the Global Common Shares and the Lumco Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Lumina Warrants after the Effective Date have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

The New Lumina Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Lumina Options after the Effective Date have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

General

In the opinion of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, Canadian tax counsel to Lumina, the following is a summary as of the date hereof of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations arising as a result of the Arrangement generally applicable to Shareholders and Warrant Holders (collectively, “Securityholders”) who, at all relevant times and for purposes of the ITA hold Lumina Common Shares and Lumina Warrants as capital property and deal at arm’s length with, and are not affiliated with, Lumina.

Lumina Common Shares and Lumina Warrants will generally be considered to be held as capital property by a Securityholder provided that the Securityholder does not hold the Lumina Common Shares or Lumina Warrants in the course of carrying on a business and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. Certain Shareholders resident in Canada whose Lumina Common Shares might not otherwise be considered capital property may make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of

39


the ITA to have the Lumina Common Shares and every “Canadian security” (as defined in the ITA) owned by such Shareholder in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years deemed to be capital property. A Shareholder who is not resident in Canada cannot elect under subsection 39(4) of the ITA. Shareholders contemplating making such an election should first consult their own tax advisors as such an election will affect the income tax treatment for other Canadian securities held. The consequences of the Arrangement to Securityholders whose Lumina Common Shares do not constitute capital property will be significantly different than those described below and such Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding this matter.

Lumina Common Shares held by “financial institutions” (as defined for purposes of the mark-to-market rules in section 142.2 of the ITA), including banks, trust companies, credit unions, insurance companies, registered securities dealers and corporations controlled by one or more of the foregoing, will generally not be held as capital property and will be subject to special “mark-to-market rules”. This summary does not otherwise take into account the mark-to-market rules and Securityholders that are “financial institutions” for the purposes of these rules should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based upon the provisions of the ITA in force on the date hereof and the regulations enacted pursuant thereto, all specific proposals to amend the ITA and the regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”), and counsel’s understanding of the current published administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”). No assurances can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted as proposed, if at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or actions, or changes in the administrative practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account or consider any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax considerations. Provincial and territorial income tax legislation varies in Canada and in some cases differs from federal income tax legislation.

This summary is of general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations. This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any Securityholder, and no representation with respect to the Canadian income tax consequences to any such Securityholder is made. Accordingly, Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to their particular circumstances.

Securityholders Resident in Canada

The following summary applies to a Securityholder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the ITA is or is deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Canadian Resident”).

Exchange of Lumina Common Shares for New Lumina Common Shares and Lumina Special Shares

Under the Arrangement, a Shareholder will receive one New Lumina Common Share, one Lumina Series 1 Special Share, one Lumina Series 2 Special Share and one Lumina Series 3 Special Share in exchange for each of the Shareholder’s Lumina Common Shares.

A Shareholder who receives New Lumina Common Shares and Lumina Special Shares in exchange for Lumina Common Shares, will be deemed to have disposed of such Shareholder’s Lumina Common Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of such shares at the time of the exchange. Accordingly, neither a capital gain nor a capital loss will be realized on the exchange.

The cost of the New Lumina Common Shares and Lumina Special Shares received by a Shareholder will be equal, in aggregate, to the adjusted cost base of the Lumina Common Shares exchanged by that Shareholder. If any part of the purchase price of a Shareholder’s Lumina Common Shares was denominated in United States currency, the cost of the New Lumina Common Shares and Lumina Special Shares will be determined based on the United States-Canadian dollar exchange rate on the date the Lumina Common Shares were purchased rather than the exchange rate on the Effective Date.

Under the ITA, each of the Lumina Series 1 Special Shares, Lumina Series 2 Special Shares and Lumina Series 3 Special Shares will be treated as a separate class of shares. The aggregate adjusted cost base of the New Lumina Common Shares and the Lumina Special Shares will be apportioned among the New Lumina Common Shares,

40


Lumina Series 1 Special Shares, Lumina Series 2 Special Shares and Lumina Series 3 Special Shares based on the relative fair market value of each class of shares. Following the Effective Date, Lumina will advise Shareholders of an appropriate proportionate allocation.

If a Shareholder acquires New Lumina Common Shares after the Effective Date at a time when the Shareholder owns other New Lumina Common Shares, the cost of the newly acquired New Lumina Common Shares will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of any other New Lumina Common Shares held by the Shareholder at that time for the purpose of determining thereafter the adjusted cost base of each New Lumina Common Share held by such Shareholder.

Exchange of Lumina Special Shares for Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares

Disposition of Lumina Special Shares

Under the Arrangement, each Shareholder will:

  • transfer such Shareholder’s Lumina Series 1 Special Shares to Lumco in exchange for Lumco Common Shares;
  • transfer such Shareholder’s Lumina Series 2 Special Shares to Norco in exchange for Norco Common Shares; and
  • transfer such Shareholder’s Lumina Series 3 Special Shares to Global for Global Common Shares.

As a result of each exchange, a Shareholder will, unless such Shareholder chooses to include any portion of the capital gain or capital loss otherwise determined in respect of a disposition of Lumina Special Shares in computing the Shareholder’s income for the taxation year in which the exchange occurs, be deemed to have:

  • disposed of Lumina Series 1 Special Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of such shares immediately before the exchange, and to have acquired Lumco Common Shares at a cost equal to such proceeds of disposition;
  • disposed of Lumina Series 2 Special Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of such shares immediately before the exchange, and to have acquired Norco Common Shares at a cost equal to such proceeds of disposition; and
  • disposed of Lumina Series 3 Special Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of such shares immediately before the exchange, and to have acquired Global Common Shares at a cost equal to such proceeds of disposition.

If a Shareholder acquires Lumco Common Shares after the Effective Date at a time when the Shareholder owns other Lumco Common Shares, the cost of the newly acquired Lumco Common Shares will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of any other Lumco Common Shares held by the Shareholder at that time for the purpose of determining thereafter the adjusted cost base of each Lumco Common Share held by such Shareholder. Similarly, the cost of any Norco or Global Common Shares acquired after the Effective Date will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of any other Norco or Global Common Shares, as the case may be, held by the Shareholder at that time for the purpose of determining thereafter the adjusted cost base of each Norco or Global Common Share, as the case may be, held by the Shareholder.

Deferred Income Plans – Eligibility for Investment

The New Lumina Common Shares will be a qualified investment for a registered retirement savings plan (an “RRSP”), a registered retirement income fund (a “RRIF”), a registered education savings plan (an “RESP”) or a deferred profit sharing plan (a “DPSP”) (collectively, a “Deferred Income Plan”) because a class of shares of Lumina is listed on a prescribed stock exchange.

The Lumco and Norco Common Shares will also be qualified investments for Deferred Income Plans because a condition of the Arrangement is that the Lumco and Norco Common Shares must be listed on the TSX or Tiers 1 or 2 of the TSX-V immediately before the Effective Date.

The Global Common Shares will not be a qualified investment for a Deferred Income Plan at the time the Global Common Shares are acquired by the Deferred Income Plan under the Arrangement because the Global Common Shares will not be listed on a prescribed stock exchange on or prior to the Effective Date.

41


RRSP’s and RRIF’s – Acquisition of Global Common Shares

Where an RRSP or RRIF acquires Global Common Shares under the Arrangement, the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, will be required to include an amount in his or her income equal to the fair market value of the Global Common Shares on the Effective Date. Lumina will provide an annuitant of an RRSP or RRIF with Lumina’s view of the fair market value of the Global Common Shares on the Effective Date, upon request. Lumina’s view of the fair market value of the Global Common Shares will not be binding on the CRA. RRSP’s and RRIF’s will also be subject to income taxes on any income earned by the RRSP or RRIF and any capital gains realized by the RRSP or RRIF in respect of the Global Common Shares.

If the RRSP or RRIF disposes of the Global Common Shares, the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, will be entitled to a deduction equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount included in income; and (ii) the proceeds of disposition of the Global Common Shares.

DPSP’s - Acquisition of Global Common Shares

Where a DPSP acquires Global Common Shares under the Arrangement, the DPSP will be required to pay a tax equal to the fair market value of the Global Common Shares on the Effective Date. Lumina will provide DPSP’s with Lumina’s view of the fair market value of the Global Common Shares on the Effective Date, upon request. Lumina’s view of the fair market value of the Global Common Shares will not be binding on the CRA.

If the DPSP disposes of the Global Common Shares, the DPSP will be entitled to a refund of tax equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount of tax paid as a consequence of acquiring the Global Common Shares; and (ii) the proceeds of disposition of the Global Common Shares.

RESP’s - Acquisition of Global Common Shares

While an RESP owns Global Common Shares that are not listed on a prescribed stock exchange, the RESP will be subject to tax under Part XI.1 of the ITA equal to 1% of the fair market value of the Global Common Shares on the Effective Date for each month where at the end of the month, the Global Common Shares are not a qualified investment for the RESP. Lumina will provide RESP’s with Lumina’s view of the fair market value of the Global Common Shares on the Effective Date, upon request. Lumina’s view of the fair market value of the Global Common Shares will not be binding on the CRA. In addition, the CRA may revoke the registration of the RESP as a consequence of the RESP acquiring the Global Common Shares. If the registration of the RESP were revoked, the RESP would be treated as an inter vivos trust and would be subject to income taxes under the ITA.

Holding and Disposing of New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares

Dividends

Dividends received or deemed to be received by a Shareholder on New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Shares will be required to be included in computing the Shareholder’s income for the purposes of the ITA. Dividends or deemed dividends received by a Shareholder who is an individual will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules generally applicable to taxable dividends received by a Canadian Resident individual from taxable Canadian corporations. A Shareholder that is a corporation will generally be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income. Certain corporations will pay a 33-1/3% refundable tax under Part IV of the ITA on such dividends.

Dispositions

A Shareholder who disposes of or is deemed to have disposed of a New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Share will realize a capital gain, or incur a capital loss, as the case may be, equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition in respect of the applicable common share exceeds or is exceeded by the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of such common share, respectively, and any reasonable expenses associated with the disposition.

42


One-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) must be included in income and one-half of any capital loss may be used to offset taxable capital gains incurred in the year, in any of the three prior years or in any subsequent year in the circumstances and to the extent provided in the ITA.

In the case of a Shareholder that is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss otherwise determined resulting from the disposition or deemed disposition of a New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Share may be reduced by the amount of dividends previously received or deemed to have been received thereon in accordance with detailed rules contained in the ITA. Analogous rules apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Shares, as the case may be, or where a partnership or trust, of which a corporation is a member or beneficiary, itself is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Shares, as the case may be. Shareholders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

Capital gains realized by an individual or trust, other than certain specified trusts, may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the ITA.

A Shareholder that is, throughout the relevant taxation year, a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the ITA) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 6 2/3% on its “aggregate investment income” for the year, which is defined to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains.

Dissenting Shareholders

A dissenting Shareholder who receives a payment from Lumina equal to the fair market value of such Shareholder’s Lumina Common Shares as a result of the exercise of such Shareholder’s dissent rights will be deemed to have received a taxable dividend equal to the amount by which the payment (other than an amount in respect of interest, if any, awarded by a court) exceeds the paid-up capital of such shares, except to the extent that, in the case of a corporation, such deemed dividend is included in the proceeds of disposition of the Lumina Common Shares pursuant to subsection 55(2) of the ITA.

Deemed dividends received by a dissenting Shareholder who dissents from the Arrangement will be included in computing such dissenting Shareholder’s income for purposes of the ITA. The gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to taxable dividends paid by taxable Canadian corporations will apply to deemed dividends received by individuals. Subject to the potential application of subsection 55(2) of the ITA, deemed dividends received by a corporation will normally be deductible in computing taxable income. Certain corporations may be liable to pay a 33 1/3 % refundable tax under Part IV of the ITA on such deemed dividends.

Subsection 55(2) of the ITA provides that where a corporate Shareholder is deemed to receive a dividend under the circumstances described above, all or part of such deemed dividend may be treated as proceeds of disposition of the Lumina Common Shares and not as a dividend, for the purposes of computing a dissenting Shareholder’s capital gain on the disposition of such shares. Dissenting Shareholders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the potential application of these provisions.

A dissenting Shareholder will also be considered to have disposed of such Shareholder’s Lumina Common Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such dissenting Shareholder less an amount in respect of interest, if any, awarded by a court and the amount of any deemed dividend not included in the proceeds of disposition of Lumina Common Shares pursuant to subsection 55(2) of the ITA, thereby giving rise to a capital gain or capital loss to the dissenting Shareholder calculated in accordance with the provisions of the ITA. The general tax treatment of capital gains and losses is discussed above under “Securityholders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares”.

Any interest awarded to a dissenting Shareholder by a court will be included in the dissenting Shareholder’s income for purposes of the ITA.

Canadian Resident Warrant Holders

The Lumina Warrants’ current contractual agreements include provisions that adjust the terms of the Lumina Warrants upon Lumina completing certain transactions such as the Arrangement. As a result, after the Effective

43


Date, a Lumina Warrant Holder who exercises a Lumina Warrant will be entitled to one New Lumina Common Share, one Lumco Common Share, one Norco Common Share and one Global Common Share.

Provided that the current contractual rights to a Warrant Holder are not disposed of as a consequence of the Arrangement, a Warrant Holder will not realize a gain or loss as a consequence of the Arrangement.

A Warrant Holder will not realize a gain or loss upon the exercise of a Warrant. The Warrant Holder’s cost of New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares acquired by exercising Lumina Warrants will be equal to the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Lumina Warrants plus the exercise price paid for the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares. The aggregate cost of the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares acquired on the exercise of Lumina Warrants will be allocated among the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares acquired on the exercise of the Lumina Warrant. The ITA does not define an appropriate allocation method. Warrant Holders should consult their tax advisors as to an appropriate allocation method. The cost of the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares acquired on the exercise of Lumina Warrants will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of any other New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Shares, respectively, owned by the Warrant Holder at that time.

In the event an expiry of an unexercised Lumina Warrant, the Warrant Holder will realize a capital loss equal to the adjusted cost base of the Lumina Warrant to the Warrant Holder.

Securityholders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary applies to a Securityholder who, for purposes of the ITA has not been and will not be resident or deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Non-Resident”) at any time while such Securityholder has held Lumina Common Shares or Lumina Warrants and, except as specifically discussed below, to whom such shares and warrants are not “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the ITA). In addition, this portion of the summary does not apply to a Non-Resident that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere.

Generally, Lumina Common Shares will not be taxable Canadian property at a particular time provided that such shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which exchanges currently include the TSX and the AMEX), the Non-Resident Shareholder does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Lumina Common Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada and the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom such NonResident Shareholder does not deal at arm’s length, or the Shareholder together with such persons, has not owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of Lumina at any time within five years preceding the particular time. Generally, Lumina Warrants will be not be taxable Canadian property provided that such Warrant Holder does not and has not owned Lumina Common Shares which are or were taxable Canadian property to the Warrant Holder.

A Non-Resident Securityholder whose Lumina Common Shares or Lumina Warrants are taxable Canadian property should consult their own advisors.

Disposition of Lumina Common Shares under the Arrangement

Generally, a Non-Resident Shareholder will not be subject to income tax under the ITA as a consequence of the Arrangement.

Provided that the Lumina Common Shares and the Lumina Special Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (including the TSX and AMEX) at the time of disposition, no clearance certificate will be required under section 116 of the ITA prior to the disposition of any such shares.

If the Lumina Common Shares were taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder, then the New Lumina Common Shares, Lumco, Norco, and Global Common Shares will also be taxable Canadian property. Provided that the Lumina Special Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange on or before the time that they are exchanged for Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares, the exchange of Lumina Special Shares for the Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares will not result in the Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares being deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” as defined in the ITA.

44


Holding or Disposing of New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares

Dividends

Dividends on New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares that are paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-Resident will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of such dividends. This rate may be reduced under an applicable tax treaty or convention. In the case of a beneficial owner of dividends who is a resident of the U.S. for the purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, as amended (the “Tax Treaty”), the rate of Canadian withholding tax generally will be reduced to 15% of the gross amount of such dividends. In addition, under the Tax Treaty, dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to certain Non-Resident Shareholders that are U.S. tax exempt organizations generally will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

Dispositions

A Non-Resident Shareholder will not be subject to tax under the ITA in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-Resident Shareholder on a disposition of New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Shares after the Arrangement, unless at the time of disposition the particular shares are “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the ITA) to the Non-Resident Shareholder and the Shareholder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. Provided that the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Shares are then listed on a prescribed stock exchange (including the TSX, AMEX and Tiers 1 and 2 of the TSX-V), the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a NonResident Shareholder, unless the Lumina Common Shares or the Lumina Special Shares were taxable Canadian property to the Shareholder immediately prior to the Arrangement or unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition, the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Shareholder did not deal at arm’s length, or the Non-Resident Shareholder together with all such persons, owned or was considered to own 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global, as the case may be. The Global Common Shares will be considered “taxable Canadian property” until such time as they are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the TSX and Tiers 1 and 2 of the TSX-V).

If the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco or Global Common Shares are taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder that is a resident of the U.S. for the purposes of the Tax Treaty at the time of disposition, any capital gain realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of such common shares will, according to the Tax Treaty, generally not be subject to Canadian federal income tax unless the value of the shares of the Company at the time of the disposition of such common shares is derived principally from “real property situated in Canada” within the meaning set out in the Tax Treaty.

Provided that the New Lumina, Lumco, Norco and Global Common Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (including the TSX, AMEX and Tiers 1 and 2 of the TSX-V) at the time of disposition, no clearance certificate will be required under section 116 of the ITA prior to the disposition of any such shares. A clearance certificate will be required in respect of dispositions of Global Common Shares if the disposition occurs at a time that the Global Common Shares are not listed on a prescribed stock exchange.

Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholders

A Non-Resident Shareholder who exercises dissent rights and receives a payment from Lumina for its Lumina Common Shares as a result of the exercise of such Shareholder’s dissent rights will be deemed to have received a taxable dividend equal to the amount by which the payment (other than an amount, if any, in respect of interest awarded by a court) exceeds the paid-up capital of such shares.

A dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder will also be considered to have disposed of its Lumina Common Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder less an amount in respect of interest, if any, awarded by the Court and the amount of any deemed dividend, except that no capital gain or loss will be realized on the disposition of such Shareholder’s Lumina Common Shares for purposes of the ITA provided such Lumina Common Shares are not “taxable Canadian property” to such Shareholder at the time of disposition.

45


Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholders will be subject to withholding tax under the ITA in respect of deemed dividends and interest arising from the disposition of such Shareholder’s Lumina Common Shares. The applicable withholding tax rate is 25% in respect of such amounts, although such rate may be reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Under the Tax Treaty, the withholding tax rate generally applicable to interest beneficially owned by residents of the U.S. is 10% and, as discussed above, the withholding tax rate generally applicable to dividends beneficially owned by residents of the U.S. is 15%.

Non-Resident Warrant Holders

A Non-Resident Warrant Holder whose Lumina Warrants are not considered taxable Canadian property will not be subject to Canadian income tax in respect of the Arrangement. A description of the tax consequences of exercising Lumina Warrants is discussed above under “Securityholders Resident in Canada – Canadian Resident Warrant Holders”.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

General

This section summarizes the material anticipated United States federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to persons (“U.S. Shareholders”) who:

(1)

for purposes of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), are U.S. persons and, for purposes of the ITA and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, are citizens or residents of the United States and not resident in Canada; and

   
(2)

hold Lumina Common Shares as capital assets for purposes of the Code.

The tax consequences of the Arrangement to persons who are not U.S. Shareholders may differ materially from the tax consequences discussed in this section.

This discussion is based upon the current provisions of:

(1)

the Code and Treasury Regulations under the Code;

(2)

the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention;

(3)

the administrative policies published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Services; and

(4)

judicial decisions,

all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively. We do not take into account the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions of the U.S. or foreign jurisdictions.

This discussion is intended to be a description of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the Arrangement. This discussion does not address all possible federal, state, local or foreign tax consequences relating to the Arrangement or ownership of Lumina Common Shares. The discussion specifically does not address consequences peculiar to a U.S. Shareholder if the U.S. Shareholder is subject to special provisions of U.S. income tax law (including, without limitation, dealers in securities or foreign currency, tax-exempt entities, banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions, persons that hold Lumina Common Shares as part of a "straddle," "hedge" or "conversion transaction," real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies and persons that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts and persons that own Lumina Common Shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities). Lumina has neither requested nor will it receive an advance ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the tax consequences of the Arrangement. IN VIEW OF THE INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF EACH SHAREHOLDER’S TAX SITUATION AND THE SUMMARY NATURE OF THIS DISCUSSION, THE U.S. SHAREHOLDERS OF LUMINA ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE ARRANGEMENT.

46


This discussion is based upon certain understandings and assumptions with respect to the business, assets and shareholders of Lumina and its subsidiaries, including the following: Lumina and its subsidiaries are not, have not at any time been and will not be (a) “controlled foreign corporations” as defined in Section 957(a) of the Code, (b) “foreign investment companies” as defined in Section 1246(b) of the Code, or (c) “foreign personal holding companies” as defined in Section 552 of the Code. Additionally, this discussion assumes that Lumina and its subsidiaries are “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”) as defined in Section 1297 of the Code. In the event that one or more of such understandings or assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the following discussion may not apply and material adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may result to U.S. Shareholders.

Summary

The Arrangement is likely to be characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as:

  • A reorganization of Minera Sans, 1327008, Lumina SAC and Vizcachitas, (the “Subsidiaries Shares”) under Lumina;
  • A transfer of the Subsidiaries Shares from Lumina to Norco, Global and Lumco;
  • A distribution of Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares by Lumina to the U.S. Shareholders; and
  • The exchange of the Lumina Common shares for the Lumina Series 1, 2 and 3 Special Shares.

The U.S. Shareholders would likely be taxed under the PFIC rules, as set out below, on their pro rata share of the fair market value of Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares received as a result of the Arrangement and they may be taxed under the PFIC rules set out below on their pro rata share of the fair market value of the New Lumina Common Shares and the Lumina Series 1, 2 and 3 Special Shares.

General Rules for Distributions

A U.S. Shareholder would generally include in income as a dividend the fair market value of the property distributed to them to the extent of the distributing company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits as computed under U.S. income tax principles. To the extent the fair market value of the distributed property exceeds the distributing company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a return of capital up to a U.S. Shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the distributing company shares, and then as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares.

However, these rules may be overridden by the PFIC rules discussed below if the distributing company is a PFIC.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the U.S. and, for any taxable year, either (a) 75% or more of its gross income is “passive income” or (b) the average percentage, by fair market value of its assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income”, is 50% or more. “Passive income” includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions. However, gains resulting from commodities transactions are generally excluded from the definition of passive income if “substantially all” of a merchant’s, producer's or handler’s business is as an active merchant, producer or handler of such commodities.

For purposes of the PFIC income test and the assets test, if a foreign corporation owns (directly or indirectly) at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, such foreign corporation shall be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation, and (b) received directly its proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. Also, for purposes of such PFIC tests, passive income does not include any interest, dividends, rents or royalties that are received or accrued from a “related” person to the extent such amount is properly allocated to the income of such related person which is not passive income. For these purposes, a person is related with respect to a foreign corporation if such person “controls” the foreign corporation or is controlled by the foreign corporation or by the same persons that control the foreign corporation. For these purposes, “control” means ownership, directly or indirectly, of stock possessing more than 50% of the total voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or of the total value of stock of a corporation.

47


Whether Lumina and its subsidiaries are PFICs in any year and the tax consequences relating to PFIC status will depend on the composition of income and assets, including cash. A determination of the PFIC status of Lumina and its subsidiaries has not been taken. However, because Lumina and its subsidiaries have nominal operating revenue, it is likely that Lumina and its subsidiaries are PFICs.

Distributions from a PFIC received by a U.S. Shareholder in any taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Shareholder in the three preceding taxable years (or the U.S. Shareholder’s holding period for the shares, if shorter) constitute “excess distributions” under the PFIC rules. In contrast to the general rules for dividend distributions noted above, the amount of a distribution that may be considered an “excess distribution” is not limited by the PFIC's earnings and profits. As well, any gain from the disposition of stock in a PFIC will constitute an “excess distribution”, and not a capital gain.

Distributions which constitute “excess distributions” from a PFIC are subject to the following special rules: (1) the “excess distributions” would be allocated rateably over a U.S. Shareholder’s holding period for the shares, (2) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which Lumina or any of its subsidiaries is a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income in the current taxable year, and (3) the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to the highest rate of tax on ordinary income in effect for that year and to an interest charge based on the value of the tax deferred during the period during which the shares are owned.

Where a U.S. Shareholder owns stock in a PFIC indirectly through another entity, any disposition of the lower tier PFIC stock by the entity directly owning the PFIC stock (the “direct PFIC shareholder”) is generally treated as a disposition to the U.S. Shareholder (an “indirect disposition”). In addition, any distribution by the lower tier PFIC to the direct PFIC shareholder is generally treated as a distribution to the U.S. Shareholder (an “indirect distribution”). To the extent that an actual distribution to the U.S Shareholder or an actual disposition of PFIC stock by the U.S. Shareholder consists of amounts previously taxed as gains on indirect distributions or dispositions, such amount generally should not be subject to additional U.S. tax.

Any distribution from a PFIC that is not an excess distribution is subject to the general rules of the Code. Pursuant to Section 1291(b)(2)(B) of the Code, the distribution will not be considered to be an “excess distribution” in the taxation year that the U.S. Shareholder's holding period in the PFIC stock begins.

U.S. Shareholders can avoid the adverse tax consequences of PFIC status discussed above by making an election to treat the PFIC as a Qualified Electing Fund (“QEF”). A valid election would generally include certain financial information with respect to the PFIC. In certain cases a separate election to recognize any gain in the shares will have to be made as well as the QEF election. If QEF status is elected, the U.S. Shareholder must, under the general rule, include in taxable income each year their pro rata share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gains. The U.S. Shareholder may, however, defer payment of these taxes until they receive a distribution from the PFIC. In this case, the U.S. Shareholder will be required to pay interest on the tax liability to take into account the benefit of the deferral.

Alternatively, U.S. Shareholders who actually or constructively own “marketable stock” i.e stock trading on an recognized exchange, in a PFIC may make an election under Section 1296 of the Code to mark those shares to market annually, rather than being subject to the excess distribution rules described above. Amounts included in or deducted from income under this mark-to-market election and actual gains and losses realized upon disposition, subject to specific limitations, should be treated as ordinary income or losses. While Lumina can give no assurances it is anticipated that the New Lumina Shares, the Norco Common Shares and the Lumco Common Shares will be marketable securities on the Effective Date. While Lumina can give no assurances it is anticipated that the Global Common Shares will become marketable shares after the Effective Date.

The U.S. Shareholders are urged to contact their own tax advisors regarding the availability and advisability of these elections.

The PFIC rules are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. The implementation of certain aspects of the PFIC rules requires the issuance of Treasury Regulations which in many instances have not been promulgated and which may be promulgated and which may have retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that any of these proposals will be enacted or promulgated, and if so, the form they will take or the effect that they may have on this

48


discussion. Accordingly, and due to the complexity of the PFIC rules, U.S. Shareholders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the impact of these rules on their investment in the Lumina shares.

The Distribution of Norco, Global and Lumco Common shares to Shareholders of Lumina

As a result of the distribution of Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares to U.S. Shareholders of Lumina and given that the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares are likely PFIC shares, the U.S. Shareholders would likely be treated as having indirectly disposed of the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares under Section 1.1291 -3(e)(2)(i) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations. The U.S. Shareholders generally would be subject to U.S. tax on the “indirect disposition” and any gain would be taxed in its entirety as an “excess distribution” as discussed above. However, to the extent that the amount of any gain has previously been taxed under the PFIC rules, such amounts should not be subject to additional U.S. tax.

The distribution of the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares to U.S. Shareholders of Lumina would ordinarily subject the U.S. Shareholders to U.S. tax under the general rules for distributions discussed above on their pro-rata share of the fair market value of Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares received. However, given that Lumina is likely a PFIC, this distribution, or a portion thereof, may be treated as an “excess distribution” under the PFIC rules. To the extent that the amount of the distribution has previously been taxed under the PFIC rules, such amount should not be subject to additional U.S. tax.

The adjusted tax basis of the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares distributed to the U.S. Shareholders will be equal to the fair market value of such shares, and the holding period for such shares will commence on the date of distribution.

RIGHTS OF DISSENT

The BCBCA does not contain a provision requiring Lumina to purchase Lumina Common Shares from Shareholders who dissent from the Arrangement. However, pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, Lumina has granted the Shareholders who object to the Special Resolution the right to dissent (the “Dissent Right”) in respect of the Arrangement. The Dissent Right is granted in Article 6 of the Plan of Arrangement and is summarized below. The terms of such Dissent Right are similar to the dissenting shareholder provisions of the BCBCA. The following is a summary only and Shareholders are referred to Article 6 of the Plan of Arrangement for the complete Dissent Rights.

A Shareholder who wishes to exercise his or her Dissent Right (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) must give written notice of his or her dissent (a “Notice of Dissent”) to Lumina by depositing such Notice of Dissent with Lumina, or mailing it to Lumina by registered mail, at its head office at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2T6, marked to the attention of the President, not later than two days before the Meeting. A Shareholder who wishes to dissent must prepare a separate notice of dissent for (i) the Shareholder, if the Shareholder is dissenting on its own behalf and (ii) each person who beneficially owns shares in the Shareholder's name and on whose behalf the Shareholder is dissenting. To be valid, a Notice of Dissent must:

(a)

identify in each Notice of Dissent the person on whose behalf dissent is being exercised;

     
(b)

set out the number of Lumina Common Shares in respect of which the Shareholder is exercising the Dissent Right (the “Notice Shares”), which number cannot be less than all of the Lumina Common Shares held by the beneficial holder on whose behalf the Dissent Right is being exercised;

     
(c)

if the Notice Shares constitute all of the shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered owner and beneficial owner and the Dissenting Shareholder owns no other Lumina Common Shares as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect;

     
(d)

if the Notice Shares constitute all of the shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner but the Dissenting Shareholder owns other Lumina Common Shares as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect, and

     
(i)

the names of the registered owners of those other shares,

(ii)

the number of those other shares that are held by each of those registered owners, and

(iii)

a statement that Notices of Dissent are being or have been sent in respect of all those other shares;

49



(e)

if dissent is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a statement to that effect, and

     
(i)

the name and address of the beneficial owner, and

(ii)

a statement that the Dissenting Shareholder is dissenting in relation to all of the shares beneficially owned by the beneficial owner that are registered in the Dissenting Shareholder's name.

The giving of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive a Dissenting Shareholder of his or her right to vote at the Meeting on the Special Resolution. A vote against the Special Resolution or the execution or exercise of a proxy does not constitute a Notice of Dissent. A Shareholder is not entitled to exercise a Dissent Right with respect to any Lumina Common Shares if the Shareholder votes (or instructs or is deemed, by submission of any incomplete proxy, to have instructed his or her proxyholder to vote) in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. A Dissenting Shareholder, however, may vote as a proxy for a Shareholder whose proxy required an affirmative vote, without affecting his or her right to exercise the Dissent Right.

If Lumina intends to act on the authority of the Arrangement Resolution, it must send a notice (the “Notice to Proceed”) to the Dissenting Shareholder promptly after the later of:

(a)

the date on which Lumina forms the intention to proceed, and

   
(b)

the date on which Lumina forms the intention to proceed.

If Lumina has acted on the Arrangement Resolution it must promptly send a Notice to Proceed to the Dissenting Shareholder. The Notice to Proceed must be dated not earlier than the date on which it is sent and state that Lumina intends to act or has acted on the authority of the Arrangement Resolution and advise the Dissenting Shareholder of the manner in which dissent is to be completed.

On receiving a Notice to Proceed, the Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to require Lumina to purchase all of the Lumina Common Shares in respect of which the Notice of Dissent was given.

A Dissenting Shareholder who receives a Notice to Proceed is bound to sell its Lumina Common Shares to Lumina and must send to Lumina within one month after the date of the Notice to Proceed:

(a)

a written statement that the Dissenting Shareholder requires Lumina to purchase all of the Notice Shares;

     
(b)

the certificates representing the Notice Shares; and

     
(c)

if dissent is being exercised by the Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a written statement signed by the beneficial owner setting out whether the beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of other shares of Lumina and if so, setting out:

     
(i)

the names of the registered owners of those other shares,

(ii)

the number of those other share that are held by each of those registered owners, and

(iii)

that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of those other shares,

   
whereupon Lumina is bound to purchase them in accordance with the Notice of Dissent.

Lumina and the Dissenting Shareholder may agree on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares and in that event, Lumina must either promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder or send a notice to the Dissenting Shareholder that Lumina is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their shares as Lumina is insolvent or if the payment would render Lumina insolvent.

If Lumina and the Dissenting Shareholder do not agree on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares, the Dissenting Shareholder or Lumina may apply to the court and the court may:

(a)

determine the payout value of the Notice Shares or order that the payout value of the Notice Shares be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar or a referee of the court;

   
(b)

join in the application each Dissenting Shareholder who has not agreed with Lumina on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares; and

50



(c)

make consequential orders and give directions it considers appropriate.

Promptly after a determination of the payout value of the Notice Shares has been made, Lumina must either pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder or send a notice to the Dissenting Shareholder that Lumina is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their shares as Lumina is insolvent or if the payment would render Lumina insolvent. If the Dissenting Shareholder receives a notice that Lumina is unable to lawfully pay Dissenting Shareholders for their shares the Dissenting Shareholder may within 30 days after receipt, withdraw his or her Notice of Dissent. If the Notice of Dissent is not withdrawn the Dissenting Shareholder remains a claimant against Lumina to be paid as soon as Lumina is lawfully able to do so or, in liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of Lumina but in priority to its shareholders.

Any notice required to be given by Lumina or a Dissenting Shareholder to the other in connection with the exercise of the Dissent Right will be deemed to have been given and received, if delivered, on the day of delivery, or, if mailed, on the earlier of the date of receipt and the second business day after the day of mailing, or, if sent by telecopier or other similar form of transmission, the first business day after the date of transmittal.

A Shareholder who:

(a)

properly exercises the Dissent Right by strictly complying with all of the procedures ("Dissent Procedures") required to be complied with by a Dissenting Shareholder, will

     
(i)

be bound by the Dissent Rights set forth in Article 6 of the Plan of Arrangement,

(ii)

be deemed not to have participated in the Arrangement, and

(iii)

cease to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of the Lumina Common Shares by Lumina in accordance with the Dissent Procedures and deemed to have transferred his shares on the Effective Date, or

     
(b)

seeks to exercise the Dissent Right, but

     
(i)

who for any reason does not properly comply with each of the Dissent Procedures required to be complied with by a Dissenting Shareholder, or

(ii)

subsequent to giving his or her Notice of Dissent, acts inconsistently with such dissent,

will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as each non-dissenting Shareholder and will receive his or her pro rata portion of the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares based upon the number of Lumina Common Shares of which such Dissenting Shareholder is the registered holder. Lumina may in its sole discretion, waive any non-compliance by a Shareholder with any of the provisions of Article 6 of the Plan of Arrangement in order to give effect to a Shareholders’ Dissent Rights.

Except as described above a Dissenting Shareholder may not withdraw a Notice of Dissent without the consent of Lumina. A Dissenting Shareholder may, with the written consent of Lumina, at any time prior to the payment to the Dissenting Shareholder of the full amount of money to which the Dissenting Shareholder is entitled under Article 6 of the Plan of Arrangement, abandon such Dissenting Shareholder’s dissent to the Arrangement by giving written notice to Lumina, withdrawing the Notice of Dissent, by depositing such notice with Lumina, or mailing it to Lumina by registered mail, at its head office at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2T6, marked to the attention of the President, and will then be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as each non-dissenting Lumina Shareholder and will receive such number of Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares, to which he or she is entitled.

If a Shareholder exercises the Dissent Right, Lumina shall on the Effective Date set aside and not distribute that portion of the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares which is attributable to the Lumina Common Shares for which Dissent Rights have been exercised. If a Lumina Shareholder exercises the Dissent Right, but does not properly comply with the Dissent Procedures as set out above, or subsequent to giving his or her Notice of Dissent, acts inconsistently with such dissent, then Lumina shall distribute to such Shareholders his or her pro rata portion of the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares. If a Shareholder duly complies with the Dissent Procedures, then Lumina shall retain the portion of the Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares attributable to such Shareholder

51


(the “Non-Distributed Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares”), and the Non-Distributed Norco, Global and Lumco Common Shares will be dealt with as determined by the Board of Directors of Lumina in its discretion.

Shareholders should consult their legal advisors with respect to the legal rights available to them in relation to the Arrangement and the Dissent Rights.

OTHER MATTERS

Management knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the Shares represented by the Proxy solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting by proxy.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of Lumina Copper Corp.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Lumina Copper Corp. (An Exploration Stage Enterprise), as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit, cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and for the cumulative period from inception (October 3, 2001) to December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Canada and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and for the cumulative period from inception (October 3, 2001) to December 31, 2004 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comment by Auditors for US Readers on Canada – US Reporting Differences

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is a change in accounting principles that has a material effect on the comparability of the Company’s financial statements, such as the change described in note 16(a) to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated February 24, 2005, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such a change in accounting principles in the auditors’ report when the change is properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     

Lumina Copper Corp. (formerly First Trimark Ventures Inc.) is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resources. The Company is considered in the exploration stage as it has not placed any of its mineral properties into production.

     

First Trimark Ventures Inc. (“FTV”) was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on March 3, 2000 and obtained a listing as a capital pool company pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) on September 5, 2000. As a capital pool company, the principal business of FTV was to identify, evaluate and acquire assets, properties or businesses which would constitute a Qualifying Transaction, pursuant to the polices of the Exchange.

     

On January 27, 2003, FTV entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (“SEA”) with CRS Copper Resources Corp. (“CRS”) and the shareholders of CRS to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares and warrants of CRS. CRS was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on October 3, 2001 and began operations in July 2002. CRS was engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resources.

     

On May 23, 2003, pursuant to the SEA, FTV consolidated its common shares on a one for ten basis and acquired a 100% interest in CRS by issuing to the security holders of CRS an aggregate of 8,187,501 post-consolidated common shares and warrants to purchase an additional 5,657,500 post-consolidated common shares of FTV, exercisable at a price of $1.50 per share to May 23, 2005.

     

The acquisition served as FTV’s Qualifying Transaction. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method, with CRS deemed to be the acquirer, and reported as a reverse take-over as the shareholders of CRS obtained control of FTV. FTV also changed its name to Lumina Copper Corp. (“LCC”)

     

Upon the completion of the transaction on May 23, 2003, LCC became a Tier 1 issuer on the Exchange. On July 13, 2004, the Company’s common shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and, on July 14, 2004, the common shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. On May 14, 2004 the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the American Stock Exchange.

     

The Company has entered into mineral property acquisition and option agreements that will require significant future outlays of cash to maintain the properties and options in good standing and to fulfil its contractual obligations. The Company’s continuing operations as intended are dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances, asset sales or a combination thereof.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     
(a)

Principles of presentation

     

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the accounts of LCC and its subsidiaries. These accounting principles conform in all material respects to principles generally accepted in the United States of America except as disclosed in Note 16.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     
(b)

Management estimates

     

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     
(c)

Cash and cash equivalents

     

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash within ninety days of deposit.

     
(d)

Equipment

     

Equipment is stated at cost. Amortization is provided on the declining balance basis on office equipment at 20% per annum and on computer equipment at 30% per annum.

     
(e)

Mineral properties

     

The Company capitalizes all costs related to investments in mineral property interests on a property by property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. Costs are deferred until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral property interests are either developed, the property sold or the mineral rights are allowed to lapse.

     

Capitalized costs are reviewed, on a property by property basis, to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate impairment. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount less than the deferred costs, the property is written down for the impairment in value.

     

From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. Where the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the Company or the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

     

Capitalized costs are depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or the claims allowed to lapse.

     

Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Canadian GAAP as set out in the CICA Handbook defines Mineral Properties to be tangible assets. Recent standards for business combinations however, refer to mineral use rights as an example of contract-based intangibles without removing the definition that categorizes them as tangible assets. As disclosed above, the Company has classified these assets as Mineral Property tangible assets in accordance with its interpretation of Canadian GAAP.

The Company has determined that under Canadian GAAP it is not required to account for its contract based mining assets as intangible assets and therefore continues to account for them as tangible assets. Although the Company believes its accounting policy for contract based mining assets is appropriate and consistent with Canadian GAAP, there is an alternative interpretation of Canadian GAAP that would consider them to be intangible assets.

This alternative interpretation would provide for the capitalization of a contract based mining asset as an intangible asset at its fair value at the time it was acquired, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination. For exploration stage mineral interests such as those owned by the Company, the excess of the carrying value over the residual value of the intangible assets would be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expected to: (a) complete its exploration process or (b) convert, develop or further explore the underlying properties. For the Company, a reasonable estimate of this amortization period would be from 4 to 11 years.

  (f)

Foreign currency translation

     
 

The company’s subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations. Monetary items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates; revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period. The net foreign currency gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

     
  (g)

Stock based compensation

     
 

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the amended recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments. This Section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services.

     
 

The new standard requires that all stock-based awards made to employees and non- employees be measured and recognized using a fair value based method. In prior years, stock-based compensation expense was only recognized when stock-based compensation awards were made to non-employees, while pro forma disclosure was acceptable for awards made to employees.

     
 

The Company adopted the fair value based method of accounting for awards issued to employees for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003 on a prospective basis.

     
 

The change in accounting policy in 2003 did not result in any adjustment to the Company’s opening deficit balance.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     
(h)

Income taxes

     

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the period. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the period for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities as well as for the potential benefit of income tax losses carried forward to future years.

     

Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent it is considered not likely that future income tax assets will be realized.

     
(i)

Loss per share

     

Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate fully diluted earnings per share. Under this method, all options whose average exercise price is less than or equal to the average share price for the year are assumed to be exercised and all convertible securities are assumed to be converted at the average share price during the period. Also under this standard, certain shares that are considered contingently issuable, such as escrowed shares subject to release based on performance criteria, are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted per share amounts are not presented in fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004 as the effect of outstanding options and warrants is anti-dilutive.

     
(j)

Environmental protection practices

     

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest.

     

The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

Capital stock issued for other than cash

     

Capital stock issued for other than cash is valued at the price at which the stock traded on the principal stock exchange on which the stock trades at the time the agreement to issue the stock is made or, if such issuance is at the option of the Company, at the time the Company determines to issue such stock. Where capital stock is issued for other than cash and the number of shares is sufficiently large that the quoted market value per share may not represent an appropriate value to be assigned to such issue, the issued shares are valued at an amount equal to the fair market value of the consideration received for such issuance, or, in the absence of a determinable fair market value, at the net book value of the net assets acquired.

     
(l)

Flow-through shares

     

Resource expenditure deductions related to exploration activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with income tax legislation. Future tax liability is increased and capital stock is reduced by the estimated tax benefits transferred to shareholders.

MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued)

Should copper prices exceed $1 per pound for an entire calendar year at any time during the 8 year period (as it did during 2004), the Company shall increase the minimum payment to US$200,000 in respect of that year. After the 8th year of the agreement, should the price of copper exceed $1 per pound for any entire calendar year, the Company must pay advance payments of US$200,000 per year until the commencement of commercial production and thereafter, the Company must pay a net smelter royalty of 1% to 3% depending on the price of copper.

Upon achieving commercial production, should the royalty payment in the first calendar year exceed US$200,000, the Company may deduct from the royalty payment 50% of the amount in excess of US$200,000 and apply this amount against the accumulated advance payments in each succeeding year until the accumulated advance payments have been fully offset. The Company must also pay certain current and past annual concession maintenance payments in the aggregate of US$53,000 and is also responsible for the payment of all future annual concession maintenance payments on the property.

  (b)

Vizcachitas Property

       
 

Pursuant to an agreement dated October 28, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Compania Minera Vizcachitas Holdings, a company incorporated under the laws of Chile, in consideration for the issuance of 500,000 common shares of the Company (issued in 2003) and 500,000 warrants (issued in 2003) to acquire up to an additional 500,000 common shares at $3.20 per share until December 19, 2007.

       
 

In the event the combined value of the shares and the warrants did not exceed $5 million at any time during the 48 month period from the closing date of the agreement, then on expiry of the warrants, the Company was obligated to pay the vendors the difference between the combined value and $5 million. The obligation ceased upon the value of the shares and warrants exceeding $5 million during fiscal 2004.

       
 

Compania Minera Vizcachitas Holdings is the beneficial holder of the Vizcachitas Property, which consists of 19 exploration concessions, located in the 4th region of Chile.

The 2005 to 2007 payments are subject to reductions ranging from 20% to 50% depending on the average price of copper, based on the three month London Metal Exchange average price should the average price of copper be less than $1 per pound. 100% of the 2005 to 2007 payments may be made in shares of LCC. The payment due on April 25, 2007 may be deferred for up to three years provided payments of US $100,000 (the “penalty payments”) are made at each of April 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009, with 50% of each of those payments being applied against the amount of the deferred payment.

Should the option be exercised, the Company will be required to make bonus payments of US $250,000 upon completion of a positive feasibility study, a further US $250,000 upon commencement of a new mine construction and a final payment of US $1,300,000 one year after the commencement of commercial production.

On February 24, 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire all of the shares of two companies which, collectively, own a 100% leasehold interest in the Molino mining concession. The Molino concession is contiguous to the Galeno concessions and is considered to be an extension of the Galeno property. Consideration for the acquisition is US$300,000 (paid). The vendors retain a net profits interest in the property of up to 20% depending upon the timing of production from the concession, which interest will convert to a 1% net smelter royalty should production commence subsequent to December 31, 2006.

The fair value used to calculate the compensation expense related to the stock options issued to employees and non-employees is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

    2004 2003
       
  Weighted average:    
       Risk-free interest rate 3.04% 3.06%
       Expected dividend yield - -
       Expected stock price volatility 90% 94%
       Expected option life in years 2 2

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

INCOME TAX (continued)

     

Flow-through expenditures

     

Flow-through shares entitle a company that incurs certain resource expenditures in Canada to renounce them for tax purposes allowing the expenditures to be deducted for income tax purposes by the investors who purchased the shares. A future income tax liability arises from the renunciation of mineral exploration costs to investors of flow-through shares.

     

Funds raised through the issuance of flow-through shares are required to be expended on qualified Canadian mineral exploration expenditures, as defined pursuant to Canadian income tax legislation. In December, 2004 the Company raised $2,135,000 from the issuance of flow- through shares (Note 8(c)(iii)). As at December 31, 2004 no expenditures have been made and the Company is obligated to spend this amount on qualified mineral exploration expenditures in fiscal 2005. The future income tax liability that will arise on future renunciation of these flow- through expenditures is estimated to be approximately $760,000.

     
15.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     

The Company has various financial instruments including cash, receivables, and payables and accruals and mineral property purchase obligations. The fair value of all financial instruments approximates their recorded amounts.

     
16.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

     

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differ from those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as described below.

     
(a)

Mineral Property Expenditures

     

Under Canadian GAAP, it is acceptable to defer both mineral property acquisition and exploration costs until a decision to abandon the property is made, it is determined that the property does not have economically recoverable reserves or that the Company is unlikely to pursue exploration activities on the property. Under U.S. GAAP, mineral exploration costs are expensed when incurred until it can be proven that economically viable reserves are present on the property and the Company has the ability and intention to pursue exploitation of these reserves.

     

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company changed its accounting policy, prospectively from April 1, 2004, with respect to mineral use rights to reclassify them from intangible to tangible assets. This change was made as a result of deliberations by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) at its March 17-18, 2004 meeting, subsequently approved by FASB, which concluded mining rights should be classified as tangible assets. Prior to this change in accounting policy, the Company had recorded mineral rights as intangible assets on its consolidated balance sheet as purchased undeveloped mineral interests and amortized the excess of the carrying value over the residual value on a straight-line basis over the period that it expected to convert,

develop or further explore the underlying properties. Due to this change in accounting policy, the Company has ceased amortization of the excess of the carrying over the residual value of these assets and account for them according to its accounting policy for property, plant and equipment. If this change had been adopted retroactively January 1, 2003, it would have decreased the Company’s U.S. GAAP net loss for 2003 by $200,110 (2002: $37,875).

  (b)

Income taxes

     
 

Under Canadian GAAP, future income taxes are calculated based on enacted or substantially enacted tax rates applicable to future years. Under U.S. GAAP, only enacted rates are used in the calculation of future income taxes. This GAAP difference did not result in a difference in the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from inception on October 3, 2001 to December 31, 2001.

     
  (c)

Flow-through shares

     
 

Under Canadian income tax legislation, corporations are permitted to issue shares whereby the corporation agrees to incur qualifying expenditures as defined under the Canadian Income Tax Act, and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors.

     
 

Canadian GAAP treatment of flow-through shares changed during 2004. Before March 2004, the funds received through the issuance of flow-through shares were recorded as share capital. Once the qualifying expenditures were made, the carrying values of both the unproven mineral property and the share capital were reduced by the amount of the tax benefit renounced, calculated at the Company’s effective tax rate. As the Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for 2004, 2003 and 2002, and because the Company did not issue any flow-through shares before March, 2004, no adjustment of this nature was required.

     
 

In March, 2004, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) released EIC – 146 “Flow-Through Shares”, which requires the future income tax liability resulting from the timing differences on exploration expenditures renounced to investors and the resulting draw down of such future income tax liability be recorded as a credit to income upon renunciation of the exploration expenditures by the Company. EIC – 146 is effective for all flow-through share transactions initiated after March 19, 2004.

     
 

Canadian GAAP does not require a separate allocation of the amount of funds received by the Company attributable to the flow-through feature at the time of issue. Also, in the absence of a specific restriction or requirement for the funds to be held in a separate bank account, Canadian GAAP permits funds which are to be spent within the current period to be included with cash and cash equivalents for purposes of classification on the balance sheet and statement of cash flows. Adequate disclosure of the commitment to incur qualifying expenditures and renounce the related tax deductions is required under Canadian GAAP.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES (continued)

U.S. GAAP requires the premium or discount from the market trading price at the time an irrevocable agreement to issue the flow-through shares exists, to be accounted for separately on the balance sheet. At the time the expenditures are renounced, the previously recorded premium or discount is reversed and offset against the tax provision on the income statement, and the deferred income tax liability on the balance sheet recorded. Also notwithstanding whether there is a specific requirement to segregate the funds, the flow-through share funds which are unexpended at the balance sheet date are considered to be restricted and are not considered to be cash or cash equivalents under United States GAAP.

Had the Company followed U.S. GAAP, the effect on its financial statements of the foregoing differences are set out below.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES (continued)

     

Recent accounting pronouncements

     

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 04-3, “Mining Assets: Impairment and Business Combinations”. EITF 04-3 requires mining companies to consider cash flows related to the economic value of mining assets (including mineral properties and rights) beyond those assets proven and probable reserves, as well as anticipated market price fluctuations, when assigning value in a business combination in accordance with SFAS 141 and when testing the mining assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. The consensus is effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004. The Company believes this will have no import on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 24, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. As the Company currently uses the fair value method to account for all stock option grants, SFAS 123(R) will have no effect on the Company’s financial statements as presented herein.

     

In June 2004, the FASB issued an interpretation of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS No.143”). This interpretation clarifies the scope and timing of liability recognition for conditional asset retirement obligations under SFAS No. 143 and is effective no later than the end of Fiscal 2005. The Company has determined that this interpretation, and the adoption of SFAS No. 143, will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

     

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153. This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends APB No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement will be effective for the Company’s 2006 fiscal year. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

Under the proposed reorganization, shareholders of record for a shareholder’s meeting expected to be held in late April or May, 2005 will receive one new share of the three new companies for each share held in the existing company, in addition to their existing shareholdings.

The proposed reorganization is subject to court, shareholder and regulatory approval.

  (b)

Property acquisition

       
 

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated February 3, 2005, the Company obtained an option to acquire a 100% interest in 54 mineral claims located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada in consideration of cash payments in the aggregate of $200,000, payable over a three year period ($20,000 paid). Should a production decision be made, an additional $800,000, payable in cash or in shares of the Company, will be paid to the optionor. The mineral claims comprise 14,600 hectares surrounding the Company’s Hushamu Property (Note 5(j)).

       
 

As additional consideration for this option, the Company granted the right to the optionor to explore and exploit the Hushamu claims for non-metallic industrial minerals, subject to the Company’s right to terminate such activities should such right conflict with the Company’s plans for the property.

       
  (c)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis  
Year Ended December 31, 2004 March 21, 2005
   

Lumina Copper Corp. (“Lumina” or the “Company”) is a resource exploration company with a focus on developing and advancing copper exploration projects in North and South America. Lumina’s head office is located in Vancouver, Canada. Until July 13, 2004, the Company’s common shares traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “LUM”. On July 13, 2004, the Company’s common shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and on July 14, 2004, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “LCC”. On May 10, 2004, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) under the symbol “LCC”.

This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) focuses on significant factors that affected Lumina Copper Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Lumina” or “the Company”) during the year ended December 31, 2004 and to the date of this report. The MD&A supplements, but does not form part of, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004. Consequently, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the notes thereto. All amounts presented in this MD&A are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The information in the MD&A may contain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made, and readers are advised to consider such forward-looking statements in light of the risks as set forth below.

Proposed Reorganization

On February 2, 2005, Lumina announced its intention to proceed with a reorganization of the Company, by way of a statutory plan of arrangement, which will have the result of dividing its present mineral resource assets amongst four separate public companies: Lumina, Northern Peru Copper Corp. (“Norco”), Global Copper Corp. (“Global”) and Lumina Resources Corp. (“Lumco”).

The proposed reorganization contemplates a structure as described in the following:

 

The existing company will be renamed Regalito Copper Corp. and will hold the Regalito property.

 

Norco will hold the Galeno and Pashap properties.

 

Global will hold the Relincho, Vizcachitas, Taca Taca and San Jorge properties.

 

Lumco will hold the Casino, Redstone and Hushamu properties.

Under the proposed reorganization, on the effective date of the reorganization shareholders will receive one new share of the three new companies for each share held in the existing company, in addition to their existing shareholdings.

The proposed reorganization is subject to court, shareholder and regulatory approval.

Significant Events, Transactions and Activities on Mineral Properties

In order to better understand Lumina’s financial results, it is important to gain an appreciation for the significant events, transactions and activities on mineral properties which had occurred during the year ended December 31, 2004 and to the date of this MD&A. Activity during fiscal 2004 was primarily focused on a drilling program at Lumina’s Regalito property.

CHILE

Regalito Property

In February 2004, the Company initiated a drilling program at the Regalito property. The program was completed by the end of October and consisted of approximately 32,189 meters of drilling in 114 core and reverse circulation holes. The primary purpose of the program was to delineate the extent of the copper oxide and supergene enrichment zones within the deposit. Based upon the drilling completed by Lumina and that completed by previous operators, a mineral resource estimate, compliant with National Instrument 43-101, was compiled by an independent Qualified Person and audited by AMEC. The mineral resource, details of which are contained within a Technical Report completed by AMEC and filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), estimates measured and indicated resources of 628 million tonnes grading 0.43% copper and inferred resources of 131 million tonnes grading 0.41% copper, at a cutoff grade of 0.25% copper.

Since initiating the Regalito work program, the Company has spent approximately US$6 million advancing the property. This work has included: the drill program to delineate the resource; a metallurgical test program that to date has completed leachability test work on all of the drill assays, bottle roll testing to confirm leachability and a preliminary leaching facility layout study has been completed with the assistance of Vector Engineering.

The 2005 work program will focus on evaluating the economic viability of a large scale mining and leaching operation at Regalito. Metallurgical test work is ongoing, with the bulk column-testing program that began in January 2005 and will run for most of the year. A Prefeasibility Study, managed by Hatch (Chile), to evaluate the viability of a mining operation producing approximately 150,000 tonnes per year of copper cathode will commence during the second half of the year as data from the bulk column testing becomes available.

Relincho Property

The Company did not complete any major exploration program at Relincho in 2004. The work program on the property comprised an internal mineral resource estimate on the oxide mineralization at the property, a preliminary economic evaluation, with the assistance of AMEC, on the viability of developing a mining operation at the property and a small geophysics program.

Currently there are no plans in place to conduct any exploration on the property in 2005.

Vizcachitas Property

No exploration work was conducted on the Vizcachitas Property during 2004 and there are, currently, no plans to conduct any exploration work on the property in 2005.

PERU

Galeno Property

In March 2004, Lumina acquired the Molino concession that borders the Company’s Galeno concession. The Molino concession contains extensions to the Galeno copper/gold porphyry. The Company conducted no significant exploration on the property in 2004.

In 2005 Lumina plans to conduct an exploration-drilling program at Galeno. The size and budget for the program will be dictated by the results received from the initial drilling. The program is planned to begin in May.

Pashpap Property

The Company completed no significant exploration work on the property in 2004 and currently has no plans to conduct exploration on the property in 2005.

ARGENTINA

Taca Taca Property

Lumina did not complete any significant exploration work at the property in 2004. Small regional geophysical, relogging and surface sampling programs were completed. There are no plans to conduct any exploration on the property in 2005.

San Jorge Property

No exploration work was conducted on the property in 2004. There are no exploration programs currently planned for 2005.

CANADA

Casino Property

No exploration work was conducted at Casino during 2004 and no work is planned for 2005.

Redstone Property

No exploration work was conducted at Redstone during 2004. The company is currently evaluating the merits of conducting an exploration program on the property during the summer of 2005.

Hushamu Property

No exploration work was conducted on the property in 2004. Maintenance work on preserving the core was completed during the 4th quarter and a preliminary economic evaluation, with the assistance of AMEC was completed during the year. In 2005, the Company plans on conducting a detailed regional exploration program that will lead to an exploration-drilling program in the second half of the year.

Financial Results From Operations

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,975,903 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $1,256,574 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase of $719,329 is a result of a full year of operations. Lumina was formed on May 23, 2003 pursuant to the reverse take-over of First Trimark Ventures Inc. by CRS Copper Resource Corp. Consequently, the expenses for fiscal 2003 were not representative of a full year of comparative operations and all expenditures for fiscal 2004 were significantly higher than expenditures incurred during fiscal 2003. In addition, the Company incurred significant legal, audit and regulatory expenses in connection with its listings on the TSX and AMEX Exchanges, which expenses will not be recurring.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $1,955,287 compared to $1,287,848 for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Significant expenditures were incurred in fiscal 2004 for investor relations and corporate development activities, as well as for legal, audit and regulatory fees. Investor relations and corporate development activities were incurred in connection with the Company’s attendance and participation at trade shows and conferences, the preparation of trade show material and publications and other activities to increase awareness about the Company, its properties and its activities amongst Canadian and United States based fund managers and investors. These services were performed by Company personnel as well as professional contractors. Legal, audit and regulatory fees increased by approximately $189,000, due to the Company acquiring listings for its common shares on the TSX and AMEX Exchanges.

During 2004, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $529,630 in connection with incentive stock options that vested during the year and $148,000 in connection with Founders’ Units, for an aggregate expense of $677,630 (2003 - $582,387). Included in the share capital of CRS at May 22, 2003, were 600,000 Founders’ Units that were issued into escrow under a Voluntary Pooling Agreement (“VPA Founders’ Units”). These units are released from escrow on the basis of one-third per year commencing November 22, 2002. The compensation expense related to the VPA Founders’ Units, recorded at their fair value of $0.75 per unit less the nominal consideration of $0.01 per unit received, is recognized evenly over the period that these units are released from escrow under a Voluntary Pooling Agreement.

Interest income of $80,226 (2003 - $46,141) was earned during fiscal 2004; the increase was due to Lumina having higher cash reserves throughout the 2004 fiscal year than during 2003. No property costs were written-off in fiscal 2004. In 2003, the Company wrote off costs incurred on the OK Property, in the amount of $49,491, pursuant to the termination of an option on the property.

The financial information referenced below has been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). The significant accounting policies are outlined within Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004. These accounting policies have been applied consistently for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies described below are in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differ in certain practices to U.S. GAAP. The reader is directed to the Note 16 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a comparison and a reconciliation of the differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP.

Accounting policies of most significance to Lumina relate to its policies for accounting for mineral property costs and for the recognition of stock-based compensation.

Mineral property costs

The Company capitalizes all costs related to investments in mineral property interests on a property by property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. Costs are deferred until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral property interests are either developed, the property sold or the mineral rights are allowed to lapse.

During the year, the capitalized costs are reviewed on a property by property basis to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate impairment. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount less than the deferred costs, the property is written down for the impairment in value.

From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. Where the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the Company or the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

Capitalized costs will be depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or the claims allowed to lapse.

Stock based compensation

The Company follows the fair value method for recording stock-based compensation. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not

necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options or other stock awards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2004 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,092,038 and working capital of $2,782,864, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $3,469,372 and working capital of $3,010,783 at December 31, 2003. Included in working capital at December 31, 2004 is $2,135,000 of cash which was raised pursuant to the issue of flow-through shares. These funds are committed for expenditure on qualified Canadian mineral exploration expenditures. Other working capital items include receivables of $17,449, prepaid expenses of $42,480 and current liabilities of $504,103.

The Company has no long-term debt obligations.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company spent $1,128,284 (2003 - $564,425) on operating activities on a cash basis. Cash provided by financing activities totalled $11,613,771, which consisted of cash received from the issuance of common shares during the year of $11,996,109 less the payment of the remaining obligation on the Redstone property of $382,338. Cash used in investing activities totalled $12,862,821, consisting of $33,749 for the purchase of equipment, $10,694,072 expended for mineral property expenditures and the committed flow-through funds of $2,135,000. Of the amount spent on mineral property expenditures, a total of $7,799,743 was expended on the Regalito property, on which a significant drilling program was conducted.

The capital requirements of the Company are met primarily by equity proceeds. In January, 2004, the Company completed a private placement consisting of 2,030,200 units issued at a price of $4.25 per unit. The Company received proceeds of $8,152,153, net of agent’s fees and other issue costs in the aggregate of $476,197. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant with each whole warrant exercisable to acquire one additional common share at a price of $5.50 to January 8, 2006. The net proceeds of the financing were used to fund current projects and for general working capital purposes.

In December, 2004 the Company completed a private placement and issued 350,000 flow-through common shares at a price of $6.10 per share for proceeds of $1,973,219, net of agent’s commissions, fees and other issue costs in the amount of $161,781. As discussed above, the Company is obligated to expend the gross proceeds from this financing, of $2,135,000, on qualified Canadian mineral property expenditures.

During 2004, the Company also issued 1,166,625 common shares for cash proceeds of $1,749,937, pursuant to the exercise of warrants, and issued 75,533 common shares for cash proceeds of $120,800, pursuant to the exercise of options.

Subsequent to December 31, 2004 and to the date of this report, the Company has issued an additional 5,215,133 common shares for cash proceeds of $13,220,600, pursuant to the exercise of warrants and options.

Based on the Company’s working capital at December 31, 2004 of $2,782,864 and the $13,220,600 of funds raised subsequent to the year end, management believes that the Company’s liquid assets are sufficient to achieve the Company’s planned corporate and administrative expenses for the ensuing year.

Share Capital

Issued and outstanding common shares as at December 31, 2004 was 15,093,809. Subsequent to December 31, 2004 and to the date of this report, the Company issued 5,215,133 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants and options, 20,000 common shares for fees accrued to

management and 100,000 shares in connection with its acquisition of the Taca Taca Property. The total issued and outstanding common shares as at March 21, 2005 was 20,428,942.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had options outstanding for the acquisition of 1,012,533 common shares having a weighted average exercise price of $3.40 per share. Subsequent to the year end, the Company issued options to acquire 20,000 common shares and cancelled options to acquire 50,000 common shares. As well, options were exercised for the acquisition of 92,533 common shares. As at March 21, 2005, the Company had outstanding options for the acquisition of up to 890,000 common shares having a weighted average exercise price of $3.31 per share.

As at December 31, 2004, the Company had warrants outstanding for the acquisition of 5,482,600 warrants having a weighted average exercise price of $2.47 per share. Subsequent to the year end, a total of 5,122,600 warrants were exercised. The Company also issued warrants to acquire 100,000 common shares at a price of $9.22 per share in connection with its acquisition of the Casino property. As at March 21, 2005 the Company had warrants outstanding for the acquisition of up to 460,000 common shares having a weighted average exercise price of $3.15 per share.

Related Party Transactions

The Company paid or owes $181,700 (2003 - $125,000) for management and geological consulting services to a director and a company controlled by a director. As at December 31, 2004 accrued liabilities include $56,700 of these fees.

Risks and Uncertainties

The following risks relate specifically to the Company's business and should be considered carefully. The Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of the following risks.

(1)

The Company's limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the Company’s current business and forecast future results

   

The Company has only a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of the Company's current business and prospects, each of which should be considered in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered in the early stages of development of all companies. This limited operating history leads the Company to believe that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results may not be meaningful and that the results for any particular period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

   
(2)

The mineral properties of the Company are in the exploration stage only and consequently exploration of the Company’s mineral properties may not result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineralization

   

The property interests owned by the Company or in which it has an option to earn an interest are in the exploration stages only, are without known bodies of commercial mineralization and have no ongoing mining operations. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Exploration of the Company’s mineral exploration may not result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineralization. If the Company’s efforts do not result in any discovery of commercial mineralization, the Company will be forced to look for other exploration projects or cease operations.

- 7 -



 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis  
Year Ended December 31, 2004 March 21, 2005
   

(3)

Maintaining current copper prices for a sustained period of time will be required in order to render the Company’s current mineral properties economically viable.

   

The cornerstone of the Company’s strategy was to acquire and hold non-economic properties containing ore and await higher metal prices to render those properties of higher value. The rise in the copper price has potentially made some of the Company’s projects economically viable. However, higher copper prices will need to be maintained for a sustained period of time in order to render the Company’s current mineral properties economically viable. In the event higher mineral prices are not maintained for a sustained period of time in order to render the Company’s properties economically viable the Company’s economic prospects will significantly suffer and the Company will be forced to look for other exploration projects or cease operations.

   
(4)

The Company has no significant source of operating cash flow and failure to generate revenues in the future could cause the Company to go out of business

   

As none of the Company’s mineral properties currently have mineralization reserves the Company has no revenues from operations. The Company has limited financial resources. The Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the Company’s:


 

ability to locate a profitable mineral property;

 

ability to generate revenues; and

 

ability to reduce exploration costs.


Based upon current plans, the Company expects to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are continuing expenses associated with the holding and exploration of the Company’s mineral properties. The Company may not be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues could cause the Company to go out of business.

   

Additional funds raised by the Company through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities will cause the Company’s current stockholders to experience dilution. Such securities may grant rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the Company’s common stockholders.

   

The Company does not have any contractual restrictions on its ability to incur debt and, accordingly, the Company could incur significant amounts of indebtedness to finance its operations. Any such indebtedness could contain covenants, which would restrict the Company’s operations. The Company does not plan on entering into any debt obligations in the next twelve months.

   
(5)

The possibility of any of the Company’s mineral properties ever having ore reserves is extremely remote

   

The Company has no known ore reserves. The possibility of any of the Company’s mineral properties ever having ore reserves is extremely remote and any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost. The Company’s success depends upon finding and developing an ore reserve. If the Company does not find an ore reserve containing copper, precious or non-precious metals, either because it does not have the money to do so or because it is not economically feasible to do it, the Company will cease operations.

   
(6)

Government expropriation or regulation may prevent or restrict mining of any of the Company‘s mineral deposits

   

Even if the Company’s mineral properties are proven to host economic reserves of copper or other precious or non-precious metals, factors such as governmental expropriation or regulation may

- 8 -



 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis  
Year Ended December 31, 2004 March 21, 2005
   

prevent or restrict mining of any such deposits. Exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by government policies and regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

   
(7)

The Company has no history of generating revenues and the continuing failure to generate revenues could cause the Company to cease operations

   

The Company has no history of pre-tax profit. None of the Company’s mineral properties have ore reserves. The Company sustained operating losses for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 of $1,975,903, $1,256,574, $3,356,101 and $734 respectively. The continued operation of the Company will be dependent upon its ability to generate operating revenues and to procure additional financing. The Company may not be successful in generating revenues or raising capital in the future. Failure to generate revenues or raise capital could cause the Company to cease operations.

   
(8)

Seven of the Company’s mineral properties are in foreign countries and as such that portion of Company’s business may be exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties

   

Seven of the Company’s mineral properties are located in Argentina, Chile and Peru. As a portion of the Company’s business is carried on in a number of foreign countries it is exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but not limited to, terrorism, hostage taking, military repression, expropriation, changing tax laws, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation and labour unrest. Peru, Chile and Argentina’s status as developing countries may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain any required exploration financing for its Peruvian, Chilean and Argentinean projects.

   

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Peru, Chile or Argentina may adversely affect the Company’s operations in these countries. Operations may be effected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to restrictions on expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legalisation, land use and land claims of local people.

   

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

   

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

   
(9)

There are risks relating to an uncertain or unpredictable political environment in Argentina Chile and Peru which may affect the Company’s operations in that country

   

Some of the Company’s mineral properties are located in Argentina Chile and Peru. There are risks relating to an uncertain or unpredictable political environment in Argentina and Chile. In the short term, significant macroeconomic instability in the region is expected to negatively impact on the business environment and may lead to longer term negative changes in the national approach

taken to ownership by foreign companies of natural resources. Argentina recently suffered severe economic difficulties including significant currency devaluation.

   

In response to the political and economic instability in Argentina, in January 2002 the Argentinean government announced the abandonment of the one-to-one peg of the Argentina peso to the US dollar. During the economic crisis Argentina defaulted on foreign debt repayments and, from November 2002 to January 2003 Argentina defaulted on the repayment on a number of official loans to multinational organizations. In January 2003, the International Monetary Fund agreed to reschedule certain debt owned by Argentina and approved a short term credit line to repay debts to multinational organizations that could not be postponed.

   

There is the risk of political violence and increased social tension in both Argentina and Peru as a result of the economic crisis in Argentina and because both countries have experienced increased civil unrest, crime and labour unrest. Roadblocks by members of the local communities, unemployed people and unions can occur on most national and provincial routes without notice. Civil disruptions may become more frequent if the economic situation in Argentina and Peru continues to deteriorate.

   
(10)

As the Company is a Canadian company it may be difficult for U.S. shareholders of the Company to effect service on the Company or to realize on judgements obtained against the Company in the United States

   

The Company is a Canadian corporation. All of its directors and all but one of its officers are residents of Canada and a significant part of its assets are, or will be, located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders resident in the United States to effect service within the United States upon the Company, directors, officers or experts who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of any of the Company, directors or officers under the United States federal securities laws. If a judgment is obtained in the U.S. courts based on civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the Company or its directors or officers, it will be difficult to enforce the judgment in the Canadian courts against the Company and any of the Company’s non-U.S. resident executive officers or directors. Accordingly, United States shareholders may be forced to bring actions against the Company and its respective directors and officers under Canadian law and in Canadian courts in order to enforce any claims that they may have against the Company or its directors and officers. Nevertheless, it may be difficult for United States shareholders to bring an original action in the Canadian courts to enforce liabilities based on the U.S. federal securities laws against the Company and any of the Company’s non-U.S. resident executive officers or directors.

The mineral exploitation industry is intensely competitive in all its phases and the Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself

   

The mineral exploitation industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. In addition, there is no assurance that even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, a ready market will exist for their sale. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies), interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities, government regulations,

- 10 -



 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis  
Year Ended December 31, 2004 March 21, 2005
   

including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital or losing its invested capital. As the Company is in the exploration stage, the above factors have had no material impact on operations or income. It is a key part of the Company’s strategy to acquire and hold non-economic properties containing ore and await higher mineral prices to render those properties of higher value. In the event higher mineral prices do not occur the Company’s economic prospects will significantly suffer.

   
(12)

Substantial expenditures are required to be made by the Company to establish ore reserves

   

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves. These expenditures include the costs of drilling, sampling, bulk sampling, metallurgical testing, cost estimating, economic evaluations, market and environmental studies, cost estimating, economic evaluation, and market and environmental studies which have to be completed before an ore reserve can be designated.

   
(13)

The Company does not presently have insurance covering any of its mineral properties and as a consequence could incur considerable costs

   

Mineral exploration involves risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest may be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration of precious and non-precious metals, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property, and possible environmental damage. The Company does not presently have insurance covering any of its mining properties and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance. As a result of not having insurance, the Company could incur significant costs that could have a materially adverse effect upon its financial condition and even cause the Company to cease operations.

   

To date, the Company has not experienced any material losses due to hazards arising from its operations.

   
(14)

The Company’s mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and as such title to some of the Company’s mineral properties may be affected

   

Although the Company has sought and received such representations as it has been able to achieve from vendors in connection with the acquisition of or options to acquire an interest in its mining properties and has conducted its own investigation of legal title to each such property, the mining properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.

   
(15)

Certain mineral right holdings are currently the subject of litigation

   

Two of the Company’s mineral right holdings are the subject of ongoing litigation. The holdings, the San Jose Claims on the San Jorge property and the El Molino Claims at the Galeno Property are not considered by management to be material to the development of the properties but could limit the expansion of the known mineral resources. Management believes it will successfully defend both suits.

   
(16)

All phases of the Company’s operations in Canada, Peru, Argentina and Chile are subject to environmental regulations which may cause the Company to invoke stricter standards

   

All phases of the Company’s operations in Canada, Peru, Argentina and Chile are subject to environmental regulations. Environmental legislation in Canada is evolving in a manner which may

- 11 -



 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis  
Year Ended December 31, 2004 March 21, 2005
   

require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Legislation and regulations implemented by the Ministry of Energy and Mines directly affect the mining industry in the Province of British Columbia, where the Company’s Hushamu property is located. Legislation and regulations implemented by the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development directly affects the mining industry in the Northwest Territories, where the Company’s Redstone Property is located. Legislation and regulations implemented by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources affects the mining industry in the Yukon where the Company’s Casino Property is located. The General Mining Law of Peru is the primary body of law with regard to environmental regulation, where the Company’s Pashpap and El Galeno properties are located. The Environmental Protection Mining Code of Argentina, enacted in 1995, is the primary body of law with regard to environmental regulation, where the Company’s Taca Taca and San Jorge properties are located. The Degree Law Number 1,349 of Chile is the primary body of law with regard to environmental regulation, where the Company’s Regalito, Relincho and Vizcachitas properties are located. See “Item 4(B) – Business Overview.”

   

Although compliance with such laws is not presently a significant factor in the Company’s operations, compliance with future changes in environmental regulation, if any, may adversely affect the Company’s operations.

   
(17)

The price of copper, base and precious metals has fluctuated widely in recent years and may adversely affect the economic viability of any of the Company’s mineral properties

   

The Company’s revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the mining and sale of copper and other precious and non-precious metals. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of copper, base and precious metals and therefore the economic viability of any of the Company’s mining properties, cannot be accurately predicted but may adversely affect the Company’s operation and its ability to raise capital

   
(18)

The Company’s future performance is dependent on key personnel. The loss of the services of any of the Company’s executives or Board of Directors could have a material adverse effect on the Company business

   

The Company’s performance is substantially dependent on the performance and continued efforts of the Company’s executives and its Board of Directors. The loss of the services of any of the Company’s executives or Board of Directors could have a material adverse effect on the Company business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company currently does not carry any key person insurance on any of the board of directors.

   
(19)

The Company has not declared any dividends since its inception in 2000, and has no present intention of paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future

   

The Company has not declared any dividends since its inception in 2000, and has no present intention of paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment by the Company of dividends, if any, in the future, rests in the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors.

(20)

The possible issuance of additional shares may impact the value of the Company stock

   

The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock without par value. It is the Company's intention to issue more shares. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, the conversion of notes and the exercise of warrants), or the perception that such sales could occur, could materially adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock and the ability of the Company to raise equity capital in the future.

   
(21)

Certain of the Company's directors are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties and accordingly conflicts of interest may arise

   

Certain of the Company's directors are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. Such a conflict poses the risk that the Company may enter into a transaction on terms which place the Company in a worse position than if no conflict existed.

   

Anthony Floyd, President of the Company, is also the President, a principal and a director of Inca Pacific Resources Inc. (“Inca”). Inca is a junior mining company engaged in the exploration of copper in Peru. As a condition of employment with the Company, Mr. Floyd required that the possible competing interests of the Company and Inca be resolved as between them in order to address inevitable conflicts or perceived conflicts. The Company and Inca agreed Inca shall be given the first right to acquire all grassroots copper exploration opportunities in the country of Peru which the Company or its executives become aware of. As the Company is not currently planning to undertake exploration of grassroots copper properties, this may be of no impact to the Company's business practices. Inca has agreed that the Company shall be given first right to acquire advanced stage copper properties with defined Resources of which Inca or its executives become aware in the country of Peru. Inca and the Company have agreed to review and renew this commitment annually.

   
(22)

Management of the Company can through their stock ownership in the Company influence all matters requiring approval by the Company’s stockholders

   

Management of the Company own collectively as of March 21, 2005, 6,660,534 shares being 32.6% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. These stockholders, if acting together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by the Company's stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.

COMPILATION REPORT

TO THE DIRECTORS OF LUMINA COPPER CORP.

We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets of Lumina Copper Corp. (“Lumina”) as at December 31, 2004, and have performed the following procedures.

1.

Compared the figures in the column captioned “Lumina Copper Corp.” to the audited financial statements of Lumina as at December 31, 2004, and found them to be in agreement.

   
2.

Made enquiries of certain officials of Lumina who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments. The officials described to us the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments.

   
3.

Read the notes to the pro forma statements, and found them to be consistent with the basis described to us for determination of the pro forma adjustments.

   
4.

Recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the column captioned “Total” and found the amounts to be arithmetically correct.

   
5.

Recalculated the application of the pro-forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the columns captioned “Lumina Resources Corp. Pro Forma”, “Northern Peru Copper Corp. Pro Forma”, “Continental Copper Corp. Pro Forma” and “Regalito Copper Corp. Pro Forma” as at December 31, 2004, and found the amounts to be arithmetically correct.

A pro forma financial statement is based on management assumptions and adjustments which are inherently subjective. The foregoing procedures are substantially less than either an audit or a review, the objective of which is the expression of assurance with respect to management’s assumptions, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of the adjustments to the historical financial information. Accordingly, we express no such assurance. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance to the pro forma financial statements, and we therefore make no representation about the sufficiency of the procedures for the purposes of a reader of such statements.

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets have been compiled for purposes of inclusion in the Management Proxy Circular of Lumina Copper Corp. (“Lumina”) dated April 1, 2005.

   

These pro forma consolidated balance sheets have been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of Lumina as at December 31, 2004 and the assumptions contained in Note 3. Lumina Resources Corp. (“Lumco”), Northern Peru Copper Corp. (“Norco”) and Continental Copper Corp. (“Continental”) are newly formed companies incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Management proposes to change the name of Lumina to Regalito Copper Corp. (“Regalito”).

   

Lumina intends to proceed with a reorganization which will have the result of dividing its present mineral resource assets into four separate companies. Upon implementation of a Plan of Arrangement:

- Lumina will continue to hold the Regalito property;

- Lumco will hold the Casino, Redstone and Hushamu properties;

- Norco will hold the Galeno and Pashpap properties; and,

- Continental will hold the Taca Taca, San Jorge, Relincho and Vizcachitas properties.

The pro forma consolidated balance sheets are prepared as if the reorganization of Lumina into four separate entities, Lumco, Norco, Continental and Regalito, had occurred on December 31, 2004 and the adjustments and assumptions in Notes 2 and 3 had occurred as at December 31, 2004. In the opinion of management, the pro forma consolidated balance sheets include all the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

These pro forma consolidated balance sheets are not intended to reflect the financial position that would have occurred if the events reflected therein had been in effect at the dates indicated. Further, these pro forma consolidated balance sheets are not necessarily indicative of the financial position that may be attained in the future. The pro forma consolidated balance sheets have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated balance sheets of Lumina for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 included elsewhere in this Management Proxy Circular.

No attempt has been made to present pro forma consolidated statements of operations of the new entities. The audited consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented elsewhere in this Management Proxy Circular.

Recognizing that all of the Lumina Series 1 Special Shares, Lumina Series 2 Special Shares and Lumina Series 3 Special Shares issued to the Shareholders will immediately be transferred to Lumco, Global and Norco in exchange for Lumco, Global and Norco Common Shares, Lumina will not issue certificates representing the Lumina Series 1 Special Shares, Lumina Series 2 Special Shares and Lumina Series 3 Special Shares.

G-22


financial or otherwise, of Lumina and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or in Lumco, or any change in general economic conditions, interest rates or any outbreak or material escalation in, or the cessation of, hostilities or any other calamity or crisis, or there should develop, occur or come into effect any occurrence which has a material effect on the financial markets of Canada and the board of directors of Lumina determines in its sole judgment that it would be inadvisable in such circumstances for Lumina to proceed with the Arrangement.

5.3      Effect of Termination

Upon the termination of this Plan of Arrangement pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, no party shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party hereunder.

ARTICLE 6.      RIGHTS OF DISSENT AND APPRAISAL

6.1      Dissent Right

Notwithstanding section 3.1 hereof, Shareholders may exercise rights of dissent (the “Dissent Right”) in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to the Interim Order and this Article 6.

6.2      Notice of Dissent

A Shareholder who wishes to exercise a Dissent Right must give written notice of dissent (“Notice of Dissent”) to Lumina by depositing such Notice of Dissent with Lumina, or mailing it to Lumina by registered mail, at its head office at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T6, marked to the attention of the President, not later than two days before the Lumina Meeting. A Shareholder who has given a Notice of Dissent in accordance with this section 6.2 is herein referred to as a “Dissenting Shareholder”. A Shareholder who wishes to dissent must prepare a separate notice of dissent for (i) the Shareholder, if the Shareholder is dissenting on its own behalf and (ii) each person who beneficially owns shares in the Shareholder’s name and on whose behalf the Shareholder is dissenting. To be valid, a Notice of Dissent must:

(a)

identify in each Notice of Dissent the person on whose behalf dissent is being exercised;

     
(b)

set out the number of Lumina Common Shares in respect of which the Shareholder is exercising the Dissent Right (the “Notice Shares”), which number cannot be less than all of the Lumina Common Shares held by the beneficial holder on whose behalf the Dissent Right is being exercised;

     
(c)

if the Notice Shares constitute all of the shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered owner and beneficial owner and the Dissenting Shareholder owns no other shares of Lumina as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect;

     
(d)

if the Notice Shares constitute all of the shares of which the Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner but the Dissenting Shareholder owns other shares of Lumina as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect, and

     
(i)

the names of the registered owners of those other shares,

     
(ii)

the number of those other shares that are held by each of those registered owners, and

     
(iii)

a statement that Notices of Dissent are being or have been sent in respect of all those other shares;

     
(e)

if dissent is being exercised by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a statement to that effect, and

     
(i)

the name and address of the beneficial owner, and

     
(ii)

a statement that the Dissenting Shareholder is dissenting in relation to all of the shares beneficially owned by the beneficial owner that are registered in the Dissenting Shareholder’s name.

G-23


6.3      Right of Dissenting Shareholder

The giving of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive a Shareholder of his or her right to vote at the Meeting on the special resolution approving the Arrangement. A vote against the special resolution or the execution or exercise of a proxy with instructions to vote against the special resolution does not constituted a Notice of Dissent.

6.4      When Dissent Right Not Available:

A Shareholder is not entitled to exercise a Dissent Right with respect to any Lumina Common Shares if the a Shareholder votes ( or instructs or is deemed, by submission of any incomplete proxy, to have instructed his or her proxyholder to vote) in favour of the special resolution approving the Arrangement. However, a Shareholder may vote as a proxy for a Shareholder whose proxy required an affirmative vote, without affecting his or her right to exercise the Dissent Right in respect of the Lumina Common Shares of which he or she is the registered holder.

6.5      Notice to Proceed

If Lumina intends to act on the authority of the special resolution approving the Arrangement, it must send a notice (the “Notice to Proceed”) to the Dissenting Shareholder promptly after the later of:

(a)

the date on which Lumina forms the intention to proceed, and

   
(b)

the date on which the Notice of Dissent was received.

If Lumina has acted on the authority of that special resolution it must promptly send a Notice to Proceed to the Dissenting Shareholder. The Notice to Proceed must be dated not earlier than the date on which it is sent and state that Lumina intends to act or has acted on the authority of the special resolution and advise the Dissenting Shareholder of the manner in which dissent is to be completed under section 6.7 hereof.

6.6      Entitlement to Payment of Fair Value

On receiving a Notice to Proceed in accordance with section 6.5 hereof, the Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to require Lumina to purchase all of the Lumina Common Shares in respect of which the Notice of Dissent was given.

6.7      Demand for Payment of Fair Value

A Dissenting Shareholder who receives a Notice to Proceed is bound to sell its Lumina Common Shares to Lumina and must send to Lumina within one month after the date of the Notice to Proceed:

(a)

a written statement that the Dissenting Shareholder requires Lumina to purchases all of the Notice Shares;

     
(b)

the certificates representing the Notice Shares, and

     
(c)

if dissent is being exercised by the Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the Dissenting Shareholder, a written statement signed by the beneficial owner setting out whether the beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of other shares of Lumina and if so, setting out:

     
(i)

the names of the registered owners of those other shares,

(ii)

the number of those other shares that are held by each of those registered owners, and

(iii)

that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of those other shares,

whereupon Lumina is bound to purchase them in accordance with the Notice of Dissent.

6.8      Payment for Notice Shares

Lumina and the Dissenting Shareholder may agree on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares and in that event, Lumina must either promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder or send a notice to the

G-24


Dissenting Shareholder that Lumina is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their share as Lumina is insolvent or if the payment would render Lumina insolvent.

6.9      Application to Court to Fix Payout Value

If Lumina and the Dissenting Shareholder do not agree on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares the Dissenting Shareholder or Lumina may apply to the court and the court may:

(a)

determine the payout value of the Notice Shares or order that the payout value of the notice shares be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar or a referee of the court;

   
(b)

join in the application each Dissenting Shareholder who has not agreed with Lumina on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares; and

   
(c)

make consequential orders and give directions it considers appropriate.

Promptly after a determination of the payout value of the Notice Shares has been made, Lumina must either pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder or send a notice to the Dissenting Shareholder that Lumina is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their shares as Lumina is insolvent or if the payment would render Lumina insolvent. If the Dissenting Shareholder receives a notice that Lumina is unable to lawfully pay Dissenting Shareholders for their share the Dissenting Shareholder may with in 30 days after receipt of the notice, withdraw his or her Notice of Dissent. If the Notice of Dissent is not withdrawn the Dissenting Shareholder remains a claimant against Lumina to be paid as soon as Lumina is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of Lumina but in priority to its shareholders.

6.10      Deemed Notice

Any notice required to be given by Lumina or a Dissenting Shareholder to the other in connection with the exercise of the Dissent Right, will be deemed to have been given and received, if delivered, on the day of delivery, if mailed, on the earlier of the date of receipt or the second business day after the day of mailing, or, if sent by telecopier or other similar form of transmission, the first business day after the date of transmittal.

6.11      Consequences of Exercising Dissent Rights

A Shareholder who:

(a)

properly exercises the Dissent Right by complying with all of the procedures (the “Dissent Procedures”) required to be complied with by a Dissenting Shareholder, will:

     
(i)

be bound by the provisions of this Article 6;

     
(ii)

be deemed not to have participated in the Arrangement; and

     
(iii)

cease to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the payout value of the Notice Shares by Lumina in accordance with the Dissent Procedures and is deemed to have disposed of his shares immediately prior to the Effective Date; or

     
(b)

seeks to exercise the Dissent Right, but:

     
(i)

who for any reason does not properly comply with each of the Dissent Procedures required to be complied with by a Dissenting Shareholder, or

     
(ii)

subsequent to giving his or her Notice of Dissent, acts inconsistently with such dissent;

will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as each non-dissenting Shareholder and will receive his or her pro rata portion of the Lumco Common Shares based upon the number of Lumina Common

G-25


Shares of which such Dissenting Shareholder is the registered holder. Lumina may in its sole discretion waive any non-compliance by a shareholder with any of the provisions of this Article 6 in order to give effect to a shareholder's Dissent Rights.

6.12      Abandonment of Dissent

A Dissenting Shareholder may not withdraw a Notice of Dissent without the consent of Lumina. A dissenting Shareholder may, with the written consent of Lumina, at any time prior to the payment to the Dissenting Shareholder of the full amount of money to which the Dissenting shareholder is entitled under this Article 6, abandon such Dissenting Shareholder’s dissent to the Arrangement by giving written notice to Lumina withdrawing the Notice of Dissent by depositing such notice with Lumina or mailing it to Lumina by registered mail, at its head at office at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T6, marked to the attention of the President, and will then be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as each non-dissenting Shareholder and will receive such number of Lumco Global, and Norco Common Shares to which he or she is entitled.

6.13      Reservation of Lumco, Global, and Norco Common Shares

If a Shareholder exercises the Dissent Right, Lumina shall on the Effective Date set aside and not distribute that portion of the Lumco, Global, and Norco Common Shares which is attributable to the Lumina Common Shares for which Dissent Rights have been exercised. If a Lumina Shareholder exercises the Dissent Right, but, as set out in subsection 6.11(b), does not properly comply with the Dissent Procedures or, subsequent to giving his or her Notice of Dissent, acts inconsistently with such dissent, then Lumina shall distribute to such Shareholder his or her pro rata portion of the Lumco, Global and Norco Common Shares. If a Shareholder duly complies with the Dissent Procedures as set out in subsection 6.11(a), then Lumina shall retain the portion of the Lumco, Global or Norco Common Shares attributable to such Shareholder (the “Non-Distributed Lumco, Global or Norco Shares”), and the Non-Distributed Lumco, Global, and Norco Shares will be dealt with as determined by the Board of Directors of Lumina in its discretion.

Such notice shall be delivered or mailed by letter, postage prepaid, addressed to each such shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Company or in the event of the address of any such shareholder not so appearing then to the last known address of such shareholder or if delivered, delivered to each such shareholder at such address; provided, however, that accidental failure to give any such notice to one or more of such shareholders shall not affect the validity of such redemption.

From and after the date specified for redemption in any such notice the holders of the Series 1 Special Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof unless payment of the Redemption Amount shall not be made upon presentation of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of shareholders shall remain unaffected.

G-29


Series 1 Special Shares represented by such certificate or certificates redeemed by the Company and (ii) the business day (“Retraction Date”) on which the holder desires to have the Company redeem such Series 1 Special Shares.

Such payment shall be made by a promissory note or a cheque payable at par at any branch of the Company’s bankers for the time being in Canada. If less than all of the Series 1 Special Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Series 1 Special Shares represented by the original certificate or certificates which are not redeemed. The said Series 1 Special Shares shall be redeemed on the Retraction Date and from and after the Retraction Date the holder of such shares shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders of Series 1 Special Shares in respect thereof unless payment of the Redemption Amount is not made on the Retraction Date, in which event the rights of the holder of the Series 1 Special Shares shall remain unaffected.

The Directors of the Company may determine at any time and from time to time, with respect to all or portion of any dividend on the Series 2 Special Shares of the Company that such dividend shall be payable in money or, in the case of electing holders whose addresses on the books of the Company are in Canada, and in jurisdictions specified by the Directors outside Canada, by the issue of fully paid Series 2 Special Shares of the Company having a value, as determined by the Directors, that is substantially equivalent, as of the date or period of days determined by the Directors, to the cash amount of such dividend, provided that the Directors may (but need not) value the Series 2 Special Shares to be issued in payment of the dividend at a discount from or premium to the relevant market value thereof of up to 5%, in either case.

With respect to fractional shares that may result from any such stock dividend the Company shall issue to an agent for shareholders appointed by the Company a number of whole shares representing in the aggregate the fractional shares of all electing shareholders, unless the Directors of the Company otherwise determine, for instance by the payment of cash in lieu of fractional share interests that may result from any such stock dividend.

In the case of redemption of Series 2 Special Shares under the provisions of sub-clause 3(a) hereof, the Company shall, unless waived in writing by the holders of all of the Series 2 Special Shares, at least 14 days before the date specified for redemption deliver or mail to each person who at the date of mailing is a registered holder of Series 1 Special Shares to be redeemed a notice in writing of the intention of the Company to redeem such Series 1 Special Shares. Such notice shall be delivered or mailed by letter, postage prepaid, addressed to each such shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Company or in the event of the address of any such shareholder not so appearing then to the last known address of such shareholder or if delivered, delivered to each such shareholder at such address; provided, however, that accidental failure to give any such notice to one or more of such shareholders shall not affect the validity of such redemption. Such notice shall set out the Redemption Amount and the date on which redemption is to take place and if part only of the shares held by the person to whom it is addressed is to be redeemed the number thereof to be so redeemed; provided, however, that if a part only of the Series 1 Special Shares for the time being outstanding is to be redeemed, the shares so to be redeemed shall be selected by lot in such manner as the directors in their discretion shall decide or if the directors so determine may be redeemed pro rata (disregarding fractions) unless otherwise agreed in writing by the holders of all of the Series 2 Special Shares. On or after the date so specified for redemption, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the registered holders of the Series 2 Special Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Amount thereof on presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Company or any other place designated in such notice of the certificates representing the Series 2 Special Shares called for redemption. Such payment shall be made by cheque payable at par at any branch of the Company’s bankers in Canada or by promissory note. If less than all of the Series 2 Special Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Series 2 Special Shares represented by the original certificate which are not redeemed. From and after the date specified for redemption in any such notice the holders of the Series 2 Special Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof unless payment of the Redemption Amount shall not be made upon presentation of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of shareholders shall remain unaffected. The Company shall have the right at any time after the mailing of notice of its intention to redeem any Series 2 Special Shares to deposit the Redemption Amount of the shares, either in cash or promissory note, so called for redemption or of such of the said shares represented by certificates as have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption to a special account in any chartered bank or in any trust company in Canada, named in such notice, to be paid without interest to or to the order of the respective holders of such Series 2 Special Shares called for redemption upon presentation and surrender to such bank or trust company of the certificates representing the same. Upon such deposit being made or upon the date specified for redemption in such notice, whichever is the later, the Series 2 Special Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or such redemption date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving without interest their proportionate part of the total Redemption Amount so deposited against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them respectively and any interest on the amount so deposited shall be for the account of the Company. If any part of the total Redemption Amount so deposited has not been paid to or to the order of the respective holders of the Series 2 Special Shares which were called for redemption within two years after the date upon which such deposit was made or the date specified for redemption in the said notice, whichever is the later such balance

Such payment shall be made by a promissory note or a cheque payable at par at any branch of the Company’s bankers for the time being in Canada. If less than all of the Series 2 Special Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Series 2 Special Shares represented by the original certificate or certificates which are not redeemed. The said Series 2 Special Shares shall be redeemed on the Retraction Date and from and after the Retraction Date the holder of such shares shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders of Series 2 Special Shares in respect thereof unless payment of the Redemption Amount is not made on the Retraction Date, in which event the rights of the holder of the Series 2 Special Shares shall remain unaffected.

NOTICE TO READER

The following is a summary of the business of Regalito Copper Corp. (“Regalito” or the “Company”), formerly Lumina Copper Corp., after the Arrangement and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained elsewhere in this schedule and in the Management Proxy Circular. Except where otherwise indicated herein, all of the disclosure in this schedule is made on the basis that the Arrangement has been completed as described in the Management Proxy Circular.

COMPANY PROFILE

Regalito is considering changing the focus of its business to concentrate on the development of its Regalito Property in Chile. Regalito’s business, previously conducted under the name Lumina Copper Corp, was the acquisition and development of advanced stage copper exploration properties and other exploration mineral properties in a number of countries. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement Regalito will dispose of all of its mining interests other than the Regalito Property. See “The Arrangement” in the Management Proxy Circular.

The focus of Regalito will be the continuing development of the Regalito property. In 2004 Regalito initiated a work program on the Regalito Project consisting of mapping, sampling and resource confirmation and expansion drilling. To date, a total of 183 holes have been drilled consisting of both reverse circulation (“RC”) (24,927m) and diamond core (”DD”) (14,690m) drilling. See “Regalito Copper Property, Chile” below for details of the work program.

Corporate Strategy

Regalito’s ongoing business objective will be the continuing development of the Regalito Property. Regalito’s common shares will continue to be listed and traded on the TSX and AMEX, subject to Regalito complying with the listing requirements of the TSX and AMEX.


CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Regalito was incorporated by registration of its Memorandum and Articles under the British Columbia Company Act on March 3, 2000 under the name “First Trimark Ventures Inc.”. On May 23, 2003 the Company changed its name to Lumina Copper Corp. Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Company’s name was changed to Regalito Copper Corp., and all of its assets, except for the Regalito Property, were assigned to three new companies.

The principal place of business of Regalito is located at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T6. The following chart sets forth the Company’s corporate structure:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Regalito’s business is the continuing development of the Regalito property in Chile including further refinement of the property’s geological model and database, continued metallurgical testwork and a scoping study.

REGALITO COPPER PROPERTY, CHILE

Acquisition of the Property

On October 20, 2003, Minera Lumina Copper Chile S.A., the wholly-owned Chilean registered subsidiary of Regalito, entered into a letter of intent option agreement (the “Agreement”) with La Compañía Minera Caserones (“LCM Caserones”) and Sociedad Minera California Una de la Sierra de Peña Negra (“SMC California”) to acquire 100% of the following mensuras totalling 4,158 ha (Floyd, A. 2003): California 1 al 1,000, Ramadilla 1 al 12, Caserones Segunda 1 al 80, Caserones Segunda 81 al 160, Caserones Tercera 1 al 80 and Caserones Tercera 81 al 160. In addition, 20 pedimentos, held under the name of Mario Hernandez, the principal owner of LCM Caserones were included in the Agreement. The agreement was subsequently amended to include a total of 63 pedimentos and was finalized the “Final Sale Agreement Document” that was signed on November 12, 2004 (pers comm, J.Selters, 2004). Table 1 lists the mensuras held by LCM Caserones and SMC California and the pedimentos held by Mario Hernandez.

The claim block is an irregular shaped area, which extends approximately 25 km north-south and 45 km east-west and hosts the Regalito Cu Deposit, as well as the Angelica, Don Diego, Potro and Pulido Prospects. The western edge of the block straddles the Chile-Argentina border in several locations. The claim block consists of six mensuras, totalling 4,158 ha (and host the Regalito Cu Deposit), and a series of 158 new claims on application, known as “pedimentos”, covering 41,700 ha that surround and overlap with some of the existing mensuras. As the “pedimentos” have not been surveyed, the exact area of the overlap is estimated at approximately 3,303 ha, thus the overall coverage of the claim block is estimated at approximately 42,555 ha. There may also be other pre-existing pedimentos, manifestations, or mensuras held by third parties, which were staked prior to Regalito’s and would therefore take precedence.

TOTAL Regalito Property       45,858 164 Mensuras and Pedimentos

As shown in Table 1, a total of 158 pedimentos (exploration claims) covering 41,700 ha have been added to the Regalito Property, principally along the west, south, and east margins of the mensuras, for exploration and infrastructure purposes. A total of 63 (16,000 ha) of these pedimentos are registered under the name of Mr. Mario Hernandez Alvarez while 95 (25,700 ha) are held directly by Regalito.

The terms of the acquisition to acquire the 6 mensuras and 63 pedimentos are that Regalito shall make payments to SMC California (67.5%) and LCM Caserones (32.5%) totalling US$900,000 over an eight-year period and take responsibility for property maintenance payments including the filing costs of the 63 new pedimentos. Regalito has also agreed that, in the event that copper prices exceed US$1.00 per pound, for an entire calendar year, Regalito will pay a minimum of US$200,000 in respect of the payments described for that year. After the 8th year of the agreement, provided the price of copper exceeds US$1.00 per pound for the entire calendar year, Regalito will pay US$200,000 per year until commercial production commences. After commercial production commences, Regalito will pay a Net Smelter Royalty of between 1% and 3% depending on the price of copper. Regalito is entitled to recover a portion of its aforementioned payments as an offset against the Net Smelter Royalty. The payment schedule to complete this acquisition is shown on Table 2.

Regalito has agreed to pay the amount of the Cu Price Premium in February 2005.

In 2004 Regalito paid approximately US$55,000 to maintain the claims (payment of patentes). Regalito estimates that in 2005 the cost of maintaining the overall claim position will be approximately US$80,000.

LCM Caserones and SMC California are both private Chilean mineral resource companies. Mr. Mario Hernández Alvarez and Mr. David Thomson are two of the principal owners of LCM Caserones. Mr. Hernandez also serves as an Executive Vice President and is the Director of Claims and Land Management for South American Gold and Copper Company Limited (“SAGC”). Mr. Thomson, is also Executive Vice President and Director of Exploration for SAGC.

The original applicant’s name and the corresponding application dates for each of Regalito’s concessions are shown in Table 1. It has not been confirmed if any pre-existing mining concessions owned by other parties occur within any of the Regalito claims, and if so, which claims would take precedence.

The Report

Regalito commissioned AMEC (Perú) S.A. (AMEC) to provide an independent Technical Report (the “Report”) for the Regalito Cu Porphyry Property (the “Property”). Dr. Ted Eggleston, Ph.D., P.Geo (AMEC Associate Geologist) and Robert Cinits, P.Geo. (AMEC Principal Geologist) prepared the Report. Robert Sim, P.Geo. (Consulting Geologist to Regalito, through Sim Geological) prepared the mineral resource estimate. Steven Blower, P.Geo. (AMEC Senior Geologist) provided AMEC’s review of the mineral resource estimate. The effective date of the Report is January 24, 2005.

The following disclosure is a summary of the Report. A full copy of the Report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. If internet access is not available, a full copy of the Report can be reviewed at the offices of Regalito at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC during normal business hours.

Location and Access

The Regalito Property is located approximately 595 km north of Santiago, Chile in the high cordillera of Region III and covers an area of approximately 42,555 ha. The city of Copiapo is the closest major centre and is located on the Pan American Highway, a 10 hour drive north of Santiago. Copiapo is a regional centre with a population of 130,000, and its commercial airport is served by several daily flights from Santiago, a flight time of 1.5 hours. The Regalito Property is 162 km by road, east from Copiapo and the driving time is approximately 4 hours.

Climate

While the elevation on the overall property varies from 2,200 masl in the west to 5,535 masl in the east, the Regalito deposit and the other mineralized zones occur in the range of 4,200 masl to 4,650masl.

The Regalito Property is in an area referred to as a cold desert. Climate during the summer months, between November to the end of May, is dry and sunny with warm days and cold nights. Normal daily temperatures range from 0°C to 10°C but occasionally can reach 20°C to 25°C, during the day and frequently fall below freezing at night. Winds can be strong and cold at times. Rainfall is virtually non-existent, and a light dusting of snow occurs occasionally at the higher elevations but does not remain long.

The climate during the winter months from June to the end of October, and particularly in June and August, is harsh with freezing temperatures and strong winds and occasional snowstorms. Temperatures can drop to –20°C at elevations above 4,000m. Snowstorms two or three days in length are reported to occur at a frequency of approximately one every three weeks or so. Although the snowfall rarely exceeds 1 or 2 m, drifting is common because of the powdery nature of

I-6


the snow and the strong winds. The total annual snowfall is quite unpredictable ranging from nil to several meters, and even heavier accumulations can be associated with the “El Niño years”. The relative humidity averages 18% and on average, there are 270 days of sunshine annually.

Exploration can be carried out year round, but is best if completed during the summer months, however, Regalito drilled through the winter with minor problems relating to several snow storms.

Local Resources and Infrastructure

The Regalito Property contains little road infrastructure apart from the tracks constructed for drill rig access during the period of 1989-1996 and improvements and additional roads constructed for the 2004 Regalito drilling program. The condition of these drill tracks is good to moderate, although a 4-wheel drive truck is essential.

Regalito maintains a permanent exploration camp at the Regalito Property in La Brea Quebrada at an elevation of 2,800 masl. During that time that Inversiones Mineras del Inca S.A. (INCA) was exploring they had established a field camp at the confluence of the Rio Las Breas with the Rio Ramadillas at an elevation of 2,800 masl (Egert and Ulriksen, 1991). The location of the BHP camp is not known. The nearest guest house (pension) is located at Jutra el Potro, approximately 45 km from the Regalito Property.

Year round water flow occurs in the Rio Ramadillas drainage and Regalito is investigating additional potential water sources that could supply sufficient water to supply a mining operation at the Regalito Property. Regalito has contracted SITAC water consultants to measure the water flow rates on the Rio Ramadillas just above the confluence with the Quebrada La Brea and between October 2004 and January 2005 the monthly average rates have ranged between 259 and 441 l/s.

The main Copiapo River Valley is a significant drainage system and a major grape growing area. Vegetation at higher levels in the headwaters of the watershed supports livestock, ranging from cattle at lower elevations to goats and donkeys at higher elevations.

A small power line parallels highway C-35 along the Copiapo River Valley for approximately 90 km, but would need to be both upgraded and extended to support any future mining activities at the Regalito Property. A power requirement of 25 Mw including losses was estimated in a conceptual study for a dump leach operation using the solvent extraction/electrowinning process. Alternatively, a new 115 km power line could be constructed from the SING power installation located midway between Copiapo and Vallenar on the Pan American Highway.

The city of Copiapo is the closest centre and has been a major mining community since the late 1800s. Current nearby mining activities include the Candelaria Copper Mine (432 Mt of 0.88% Cu) operated by Phelps Dodge Inc. which is located approximately 15 km south of Copiapo. The city and region can easily provide the basic goods, services and accommodations for the early and advanced stages of project development as well as labour requirements for various stages of exploration and development projects. More advanced projects would generally have to be serviced from Santiago.

There is no fixed line telephone or cellular phone service on the Regalito Property, although Regalito does have satellite telephone and internet service at the company camp and a repeater station for walkie-talkie communication in the project area. The closest public telephone communication is available at the small settlement of Juntas de Potro, 45 km from the project area. Chile has an excellent telecommunication network and most of the main cities and towns are connected to a fibre optic network, or have cellular phone coverage.

The nearest industrial port is located at Punta Padrones in Caldera where Phelps Dodge loads concentrates from the Candelaria copper mine. This port, which is designed for handling concentrates is 75 km to the west of Copiapo a haulage distance of 240 km from the Regalito Property.

Physiography, Flora and Fauna

The Regalito Property is located in moderately steep mountainous terrain within the western edge of the high Andes. Immediately east of the property, the high Andean cordillera consists of numerous peaks with elevations in excess of 5,000 masl. The border between Chile and Argentina occurs approximately 8 km southeast of the Regalito Property and portions of the overall property reach the border in a few locations. The border marks the continental watershed divide.

I-7


The property is located within the tributary headwaters of the Copiapo River watershed. The prominent northeast trending ridge at the Regalito Property is the divide between the Rio Ramadillas drainage to the south, and the La Brea and Escharca Quebradas to the northwest.

Due to the desert climate, vegetation on the Regalito Property is sparse and rapidly thins from approximately 20% cover at elevations around 3,200 masl, to 10% or less at 4,000 masl, to less than 1% at 4,200 masl. The vegetation consists of scattered clumps and clusters of an assortment of grasses and low shrubs that include coiron, pingo pingo, yareta and bailahen. With the exception of rare mosses and lichens, there is essentially no vegetation at the elevations of the Regalito Property.

History

The exploration history of the Regalito Property, and particularly the Regalito Deposit, can be divided into the following eras:

Pre-Colombian small scale mining for turquoise.

1983-1986:

Reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling by Chilean junior exploration companies (SMC California, LCM Caserones, BTX Explorations Ltda.) that identified several porphyry Cu-Mo and porphyry-Au prospects associated with regional northeast trending structures; two of these, Central Caserones and West Caserones later became known as the Regalito Prospect.

 

1988-1997:

Prospect evaluations with drilling, limited underground sampling and metallurgical testing, and resource estimations on the Regalito Prospect by four major international mining companies: Compañía Minera Newmont Chile (“Newmont”), Niugini Mining (“Niugini”), Inversiones Mineras del Inca S.A. (“INCA”) and BHP Chile Inc. (“BHP”). The Angelica porphyry-Cu-Mo and Don Diego porphyry-Au Prospects were tested with limited drilling.

 

2000:

Economic reassessment and resource estimate of the Regalito Prospect by South American Gold and Copper Company (“SAGC”).

 

2004:

RC and core drilling, and resource estimation by Regalito.

The Regalito Prospect is the most economically significant and advanced prospect on the Regalito Property, and the principal exploration target on the Regalito Property. It has been described as a porphyry Cu-Mo system associated with a cluster of small dacitic porphyry bodies and hydrothermal or contact breccias with phyllic and potassic alteration. The deposit occurs at elevtions ranging from 4,300 masl to 4,650 masl. Four other Cu porphyry prospects, Angelica, Don Diego, Potro and Pulido are located on the Regalito Property. However, Regalito has not completed any work on these prospects.

The Regalito copper mineralization is associated with a cluster of potassic and phyllic altered dacitic porphyry intrusives and minor breccias with a surface area of approximately 2 km north-south by 1.5 km east-west. The porphyries intrude Paleozoic granitic rocks and are spatially associated with a regional north-east trending fault known as the Caserones Fault.

Property Exploration

Since the discovery of copper on the Regalito Property in the early 1980’s near an artisanal pre-Colombian turquoise mining site, the Regalito Property had been explored by several mining companies.

  • During the period of 1983-1986, reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling by Chilean exploration companies first identified several porphyry Cu-Mo and porphyry Au prospects associated with regional north- east trending structures. Chilean mining companies, SMC Caserones and LCM California were established during that time and acquired the mineral properties underlain by several prospects including the Regalito Cu Deposit, the Angelica Cu-Mo Porphyry and the Don Diego Au Porphyry.

I-8


  • During the period of 1988-1997, Compañía Minera Newmont Chile (“Newmont”), Niugini Mining (“Niugini”), Inversiones Mineras del Inca S.A. (“INCA”) and BHP Chile Inc. (“BHP”) explored the Regalito mineralization with geological mapping and sampling, drilling, limited underground sampling, metallurgical testing, and historical resource estimations. More recently, SAGC carried out a historical resource estimate and economic assessment of the Regalito Project in 2000. These companies drilled a combined total of 10,992.72 m of RC and core drilling, 60% of which was targeted at the Regalito Deposit. Drilling consisted of 10 core holes totaling 1,495.57 m, 50 RC holes totaling 4,080 m, and 5 combination RC and core holes totaling 1,157.15 m. Other drilling on the Property was completed on the Angelica (2,700 m in 10 RC holes), Don Diego (430 m in 3 RC holes), and a few unnamed regional targets (262 m in 2 RC holes).

In 2004, Regalito acquired the Regalito Property and embarked on a major drilling campaign concentrating on the Regalito Deposit. During a 10 month period they drilled 114 holes totaling 32,189.10 m, including 30 core holes (9,470.15 m), 68 RC holes (17,930 m), 8 RC pre-collared core holes (2,928.60 m), and 8 core holes (1,860.35 m) for metallurgical samples. The drilling defined a copper mineralized supergene enriched blanket that exends about 1.5 km east-west and 2.0 km north-south and remains open to the southwest. In addition, Regalito completed deposit scale geological mapping, metallurgical testwork and petrographic analysis. A NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate was completed by Robert Sim a consultant to Regalito and reviewed by AMEC.

Geological Setting

The oldest basement rocks in the region are a Carboniferous assemblage of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks that are collectively known as the Mondaquita Metamorphic Complex, and include metamorphosed basaltic and andesitic lava flows along with slate, siltstone and greywacke. During the Upper Carboniferous, these rocks were intruded by the Caserones Granite (260-250 Ma), and during Permo-Triassic by the El Colorado Granite. The Caserones Granite is commonly the host rock for the Tertiary-aged porphyries and associated base and precious metal mineralization at the Regalito Deposit and the Angelica and Don Diego Prospects.

The most significant Tertiary-aged intrusive activity in the region is represented by several stock-sized, porphyry intrusive bodies ranging in composition from quartz-diorites to diorites and dacites, some of which host base and precious mineral prospects. Based on their age and compositions, they are thought to represent the southern extension of the Lower Miocene Maricunga Belt intrusives, which host the La Pepa, Refugio, Cerro Casale and Santa Cecilia precious and/or base metal deposits to the north.

Regalito Deposit - Geology, Alteration and Mineralization

In the area of the Regalito Deposit the geology is dominated by two main intrusives; monzogranite and dacite porphyry, along with lesser amounts of microdiorite and various contact, hydrothermal and crackle breccias. Both the monzogranite and dacite porphyry are host rocks for the porphyry-style mineralization at the Regalito Deposit. The dacite porphyry has a complex geometry and in the central part of the deposit up to three, steep sided stocks ranging in width between 150 and 300 m have been identified, which appear to coalesce into a single stock to the northeast of the deposit. The limits of the dacite porphyry are not completely defined by drilling but currently it is believed that they cover an area of at least 1,500 m in diameter.

The dominant alteration style at Regalito is moderate to strong phyllic and consists mainly of silicification with sericite, along with disseminated pyrite and quartz stockwork veinlets. Phyllic alteration affects both the dacite porphyry and the monzogranite, however it diminishes in intensity away from the porphyry contacts.

Within the dacite porphyry strong to intense potassic (secondary biotite) alteration occurs in irregular pods that appear to be more common deeper within the deposit, and are often associated with disseminated magnetite and veinlets. The pod-like occurrences of this alteration are interpreted to be relics of the original potassic alteration that were not affected by the overprinting phyllic alteration event. The potassic alteration appears to exend into the monzongranite wallrock to the north and west of the deposit where K-feldspar alteration has been observed along with weak secondary biotite.

A generally discreet zone of clay alteration, thought to be derived from supergene acid generation, is concentrated along the northeast trending ridge through the northwest part of the deposit and broadly coincides with the oxide mineralized portion of the deposit. Intermediate argillic assemblages with chlorite have been reported locally, and are considered to be quite minor. A propylitic altered halo has not been observed at Regalito.

I-9


The Regalito Cu Deposit strikes SE-NE with a length of approximately 2.0 km and a width of approximately 1.5 km. The highest copper grades are concentrated in the oxide and secondary copper zones, which form a surface-parallel blanket over 1,200 m in diameter. Within this blanket is a central “core” of supergene enriched mineralization at least 1,000 m in diameter with an average thicknesses of 300 m, but exceeding 400 m in the central part. Copper grades within this central area secondary enrichment average 0.6% CuT and are slightly elevated above those in the surrounding parts of the deposit. Peripheral to this “core” the zone thins to approximately 100 m in thickness and grades are generally lower (0.3 to 0.4% CuT). The enrichment blanket still remains unexplored to the southwest. Supergene copper mineralization mostly occurs as disseminated or regularly spaced veinlets of chalcocite, which preferentially replace chalcopyrite. Small amounts of covellite and traces of native copper are also present and are generally more common towards the base of the enrichment blanket.

The oxide zone is very restricted in size and forms an irregularly shaped cap that overlies the secondary copper zone in the uppermost part of the northeast trending ridge that marks the northwest margin of the deposit. The oxide zone is as much as 100 m thick, but is typically less than 50 m thick, thinning to only few metres down the ridge slopes. Copper grades within the oxide zone average 0.46% CuT. Oxide copper mineralogy is dominantly chalcanthite with subordinate crysocolla, brochantite and minor amounts of malachite, azurite and anterlite noted locally. Oxide minerals occur as fracture filling or as disseminated mineralization replacing the original primary sulphides. The oxide zone remains unexplored to the northeast.

Flanking the oxide zone and overlying the supergene zone, is a zone of “leached” material which varies in thickness from 0 to 200m but averages approximately 40 m over the majority of the deposit. This zone is not leached sensu strictu, as it contains appreciable amounts of pyrite and localized pods of chalcocite and copper oxide mineralization, which is poorly defined at the current drill spacing and was not included in the resource estimate.

Primary copper mineralization was not targeted by Regalito’s drill program and this zone remains unexplored in all directions. Copper and molybdenum grades of this portion of the deposit average 0.25% and 94 ppm respectively, however locally, high grade copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with structurally controlled hydrothermal breccia bodies was identified. Given that only a small portion of this mineralization was drilled it remains to be determined whether the primary zone is of economic interest.

It should be noted that molybdenum occurs in the oxide, supergene enriched and primary mineralized zones but was not modeled as part of the resource estimate. Regalito envisions a heap leach SX-EW operation from the oxide and supergene enriched horizons, which would not recover any molybdenum.

Mineral Resource Estimation

The mineral resource estimates for the Regalito Deposit were prepared by R. Sim, P.Geo and were reviewed by Steven Blower, P.Geo. (AMEC). Estimations are made from 3-dimensional block models generated using commercial mine planning software (MineSight).

The mineral resource estimate was generated from drill hole sample assay results and a geologic model that relates to the spatial distribution of copper. Individual domains, reflecting distinct zones or types of mineralization, have been defined and interpolation characteristics have been defined for each domain based on the geology, drill hole spacing and geostatistical analysis of the data. The degree of confidence in the resources have been classified by their proximity to the sample locations and are reported, as required by NI43-101, according to the CIM standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves.

The Report includes only estimates for mineral resources. There are no mineral reserves estimated or reported in the Report.

Based on information available in the drill hole database, (183 drill holes, including core, RC and mixed core/RC holes) 3-dimensional wire frame solids were generated for the main rock units (a complex array of porphyry intruded into monzogranite), the distribution of alteration assemblages, and the four zone-code domains (Leached, Oxide, Supergene and Primary).

The geologic interpretation was conducting using drilling information displayed on a series of 15 vertical cross sections spaced at 100 m intervals across the deposit. Sectional polyline interpretations were then linked together to produce 3D wireframe solids.

I-10


The block model grade interpolation, by ordinary kriging (OK), was conducted using hard-boundary code matching within the Zone domains (Leached, Oxide, Supergene, and Primary). For comparison purposes, an inverse distance (IDW) and nearest neighbour (NN) estimation of grade was also conducted. The Mineral Resources of the Oxide and Supergene Mineralized zones of the Regalito Porphyry are shown in the following table and are classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories as per CIM reporting standards.

  • Regalito requested that AMEC review and validate the mineral resource estimate on the Regalito Deposit completed by Robert Sim, December 30 2004. Steven Blower, P.Geo from AMEC (Vancouver office) completed the review and did not find any significant or fatal flaws in the model. The model is based on a geological interpretation that is consistent with all of the data, spatially consistent, and geologically reasonable. The resource model has been constructed in a manner consistent with the data. All mechanical errors incurred during the estimate that were found by AMEC have been addressed and corrected by Regalito. AMEC accepts the mineral resource estimate as presented by Robert Sim.

NOTICE TO READER

The following is a summary of the business of Northern Peru Copper Corp. (“Norco” or the “Company”) after the Arrangement and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained elsewhere in this schedule and in the Management Proxy Circular. Except where otherwise indicated herein, all of the disclosure in this schedule is made on the basis that the Arrangement has been completed as described in the Management Proxy Circular.

COMPANY PROFILE

Norco was incorporated under the BCCA on February 28, 2005 in order to take part in the Arrangement. Norco has applied to be listed on the TSX. There are no assurances as to if, or when, Norco will be listed on the TSX indicated above, if ever. In the event Norco is unsuccessful in having its shares listed on the TSX it will apply to be listed on the TSX-V.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Norco will continue certain of the assets previously owned by Regalito (formerly Lumina) which consisted of advanced stage copper exploration properties. See “The Arrangement” in the Management Proxy Circular.

Corporate Objective

The focus of Norco will be the acquisition and development of advanced stage copper exploration properties and other exploration mineral properties in Peru. Norco currently has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Galeno Property in northern Peru. Norco also owns a 100% interest in the Molino Property, which lies contiguous to the Galeno Property, as well as a 100% interest in the Pashpap Property, also in northern Peru.


CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Norco was incorporated by registration of its Notice of Articles under the BCBCA on February 28, 2005.

Norco obtained its interests in the Galeno, Molino and Pashpap properties in Northern Peru by way of the Arrangement which saw Regalito dispose of its Peruvian copper property interests.

The principal place of business of Norco is located at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T6. The following chart sets forth Norco’s corporate structure:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Norco’s business is the acquisition and development of advanced stage copper exploration properties and other exploration mineral properties in Peru. Norco currently has interests in three properties in Peru. Its primary asset is the Galeno Property.

GALENO PROPERTY, PERU

Acquisition of the Property

The four mining concessions, which make up the Galeno Property, are currently registered under the name of Asuncion Negociacion Minera S.A. (ASUMIN). On April 25, 2003 Regalito, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CRS Copper Resources Corp. (“CRS”) entered into an agreement with ASUMIN, that will grant CRS the option to obtain a 100% interest in the property by making staged cash and/or share payments which total US$2.0 million. The terms of the agreement as supplied by Regalito and which have been assigned to Norco are summarized as follows:

Norco may purchase the property for cash payments totalling US$2.0 million as set out in the following table:

J-2



Schedule of Payments
Period Amount (US$)
On signing 10,000 (paid)
3 months 20,000 (paid)
6 months 50,000 (paid)
12 months 100,000 (paid)
24 months 300,000
36 months 400,000
48 months 1,120,000
Total 2,000,000

The payment scheduled for the 48th month may be delayed for up to three years if payments of a US$100,000 each are made at each of the 48th, 60th and 72nd months. US$50,000 of each of the US$100,000 payments is to be considered as an annual advance payment against the US$1,120,000. The remaining US$50,000 of each US$100,000 payment is to be taken as an annual penalty payment. For example, if the payment at month 48 is deferred in all three years, the payment will be due in month 84 in the amount of US$970,000. The only factor that may impact the US $970,000 payment relates to the prevailing copper prices (see below).

Norco has no exploration commitments. All property maintenance costs are to be met by Norco.

If Norco fails to make any of the option payments when due it will lose its interest in the property. Alternatively, if Norco meets all the payments as outlined above, it will have exercised its option to own a 100% interest in the property. However, Norco will in this latter scenario remain obligated to make bonus payments as described below.

Bonus payments are to be made to the owners by Norco under the following terms. A US$250,000 payment is due on completion of a positive feasibility study. In this case a “positive feasibility study” is defined as a study recommending commercial production on which banks would be prepared to lend funds for construction. A further US$250,000 payment is due when construction commences on a new mine on the property as described in the feasibility study, and finally a US$1,300,000 payment is to be made one year after commercial production has commenced at the property.

Payments starting in month 12 are to be subjected to reductions, if the average copper prices (3 month London Metal Exchange average) move between the determined ranges outlined in the following table:

Copper Price Ranges and Related Payment Discounts
Copper Price Copper Price Payments Reduced by
* = or < than 0.65 50%
* > 0.65 < 0.80 35%
* > 0.80 < 1.00 20%
* = or > 1.00 No discount

The first three option payments, and also 50% of the payment to be made at month 12 are to be in cash, whereas the remaining 50% of the month 12 payment, in addition to all the rest of the payments, may be made in Norco shares. This is provided that Norco can guarantee ASUMIN that they will receive at least as much as the agreed cash payment when the shares become freely tradable (4 months after issuance to ASUMIN). If the shares trade at a value below the agreed cash payment, Norco is obliged to pay the difference in cash to ASUMIN. If the shares are trading above the agreed cash value, Norco will have no further obligation to ASUMIN in respect to specific cash payments, and ASUMIN are to be entitled to retain the excess value.

Property Description and Location

The property comprises four mining concessions, which cover a total surface area of 1,347.5 ha (see the following table). An additional claim called ‘’El Galeno II”, which was originally included in the property position, has been contested before the Peruvian judiciary. It is unclear at present whether this claim will eventually be included in the list of mining concessions that form the Galeno Property.

The Galeno Property is located approximately 600 km north of Lima and 150 km northeast of the coastal city of Trujillo (350 km by road), in northern Peru.

The Report

Regalito commissioned AMEC (Peru) S.A. (AMEC) to provide an independent Qualified Person’s Review and Technical Report on the Galeno Copper-Gold Property. Diane Nicolson, Ph. D., MAIG, a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, and an associate of AMEC served as the Qualified Person responsible for the preparation of the Technical Report as defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and in compliance with Form 43-101F1 (the Technical Report). The Report is based on information known to AMEC as of May 30, 2003.

The following disclosure is a summary of the Report. A full copy of the Report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. If internet access is not available, the full Report may be reviewed at the offices of Norco at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC during normal business hours.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

Accessibility

Access to the Galeno Property is from the city of Cajamarca, which is located in north-western Peru in the Cajamarca Department. Road access from Cajamarca to the Galeno Property is summarized in Table 5-1. The driving time for the 56 km distance is approximately 2.5 hours. The Cajamarca to Michiquillay portion of the road is a heavily used dirt road, which also links Cajamarca to the provincial capital of Celedin. This road is in a reasonable to poor state of repair, until the turn-off to the Michiquillay copper deposit is reached. Beyond this point, the access road narrows, is less heavily used, and is in a poor to moderate condition.

An alternative dirt road exists that crosses the Rodacocha community, which reduces travel time by half an hour as compared to the route via Michiquillay. This road is, however, periodically closed.

Cajamarca has a commercial airport, which is serviced by daily flights from Lima.

Climate

The climate in the region is regarded as high-altitude temperate and has both a dry and rainy season. Generally the winter months (or the ‘dry season’ are June to September) have very little precipitation while the summer months (or the ‘wet season’ are October to May) have consistent rains. The annual temperature range is 2 to 18ºC. Although exploration can continue year round in this part of Peru, it is common to avoid conducting field programs during the rainy season as the rains can hamper access.

Local Resources and Infrastructure

The Galeno Property contains very little developed infrastructure apart from the roads constructed for drill rig access, and a semi-permanent exploration camp installed by North Limited (“North”) during the late 1990’s, which comprises office, sleeping, warehouse and logging facilities).

J-4


Local water sources are currently inadequate to support any development as the main rivers have minimal water flow during the dry season. Previous studies by North had suggested damming the junction of the Rio Yanacocha and Rio Grande as a permanent water source for the operation.

The closest power source to the property is probably at the village of Encañada, and is currently only sufficient to serve the requirements of the local communities. In 1999, North investigated the power requirements of a significant mining operation at Galeno and suggested that the current Peruvian Centre-North Interconnected Power System did not have surplus power to support a mine and processing facility, and that a substantial upgrade to the existing system would be needed. North also commented that this problem could be rectified subsequent to a proposed up-grade of the power system in 2000. AMEC is not aware if these upgrades were completed.

The city of Cajamarca is the closest major town and can provide basic goods, services and accommodations for the early and advanced stages of project development and operations, as it currently does for the Yanacocha Mine. Specialised services generally have to be obtained from Lima, or possibly the coastal city of Trujillo. Local towns, such as the District town of Encañada and the Provincial town of Celedin, that are located on the main road connecting Cajamarca to the high jungle town of Chachapoyas, may provide limited resources such as manual labour.

The closest port facility is at Pacasmayo, which is located approximately 220 km by road west of the Galeno Property. A second port exists at Salaverry, 360 km by road southwest of the property. Previous conceptual studies on the Galeno Property by North considered using these two ports as a potential destination for a concentrate slurry pipeline.

Physiography

The topography of the Galeno Property is dominated by a glacial morphology. Elevation varies from 3,000 to 4,000 masl. The principal glacial valley, the Rinconada Valley, trends approximately north-south, has a broad, flat to undulating base. The base of the valley is filled with fluvio-glacial material and hosts several lakes, which include Milpo, Rinconada and Los Dos Colores. Much of the base of the valleys surrounding the lakes is water-logged and comprises marshland. The dryer, slightly elevated areas comprise terminal moraines of limited areal extent.

The second main valley, the Kerosene Valley, is notably much less developed than the Rinconada Valley and has a morphology more akin to that of a young river valley (“V” shaped). Kerosene Valley has moderate to steep sides and lacks a broad base.

The center of the Galeno mineralized system is located at the head of these two sub-catchments. The Rinconada Valley corresponds to the Sendamal River, which is a tributary of the Marañon River, and the Kerosene Valley corresponds to the Chonta River, which eventually feeds the Cajamarca River and subsequently the Crisnejas River. Both catchments have smaller surface water drainages or quebradas, which are shallow and typical of the upper reaches of catchment zones.

History

Copper mineralization was first recognized on the Galeno Property in 1993.

Subsequently the Galeno Property has undergone a number of exploration campaigns by Newmont Peru Ltd. (“Newmont”) and North. Twenty-one diamond drillholes and thirty reverse circulation drillholes for a total of 13,145.85 m have been completed on the Property. This drilling, along with surface trenching and sampling, magnetic and induced polarization geophysical surveys have assisted in the delineation of the Galeno Cu-Au-Mo porphyry. Hypogene and enriched, copper porphyry mineralization at Galeno is hosted by both lower Cretaceous sediments and dacitic intrusives. Low-grade hypogene mineralization is associated with the potassic and to a lesser extent with the phyllic alteration while the enriched mineralization, which consists of covellite and chalcocite, occurs more closely associated with the phyllic alteration. The overlying leach cap and oxide zone are poorly represented and are often absent.

Geological Setting

The general geology of Peru has been summarized as consisting of a number of northwest-trending lithotectonic belts. The geological, structural, and metallogenic provinces that comprise these belts define the Peruvian Andes, which form a continuous line along the entire western edge of South America. The belts along the Peruvian continental margin

J-5


have long been recognized as one of the most heavily mineralized regions in the world.

A regional thrust fault verging north-northeast has brought the Lower Cretaceous rocks that host the Galeno mineralization, over the Upper Cretaceous stratigraphy. The porphyry-style mineralization is hosted both by sediments of the Goyllarisquizga Group and porphyritic dacitic intrusive bodies.

Three intrusive units have been identified on the Galeno Property: (i) an early dacite porphyry is characterized by a holocrystalline porphyritic texture. A fine-grained matrix of quartz and potassium feldspar is more abundant than the feldspar, biotite, hornblende and quartz phenocryst population; (ii) a late dacitic porphyry intrusive by contrast has a holocrystalline texture and a higher phenocryst, predominantly plagioclase, concentration with a subordinate groundmass of feldspar and quartz. This intrusive is characterized by weak to no alteration, therefore often sterile, and is generally encountered in the inner, deeper areas of the system; and (iii) diabase dykes have an ophitic to subophitic texture with local hypocrystalline to holocrystalline textures. The dykes are comprised of plagioclase, calcite, augite, olivine, magnetite and spinel.

In addition, an intrusive breccia is observed in the northeast and central areas of the deposit at depth. This unit consists of fragments of the early dacite porphyry, which may be mineralized in a matrix of late dacite porphyry. Quaternary deposits include glacial and fluvio-glacial deposits of Pleistocene age, which consists of sands, gravels etc. The deposits are most prevalent in the base of the Rinconada Valley.

The Galeno Project is associated with an asymmetric anticline that formed in the upper plate of a major thrust. The main intrusive bodies were emplaced close to the axis of the fold occupying the area between Cerros Guaguayo and Quina Cucho.

Deposit Types

Mineralization at Galeno is an Andean example of a porphyry copper, molybdenum and gold deposit.

Mineralization

There are two main styles of mineralization on the Galeno Property. Both are related to the Galeno porphyry hydrothermal center, and comprise: (i) an early lower grade Cu with Mo and Au hypogene mineralization event; and (ii) a later Cu enriched mineralization event whose origin (i.e. whether it relates to a hypogene or a supergene enrichment event), is unclear from the information provided to AMEC although a hypogene origin is favoured based on available data. In addition, there is a very weakly developed and localized oxidation/leaching event superimposed on the main Cu mineralization.

Zones of breccia-hosted gold mineralization are located to the east and southeast of the hydrothermal centre, lying partially on the Galeno Property but also extending onto the adjacent and overlapping the Molino Claims (see “Molino Property” below).

Exploration, Drilling and Reserve Estimates

North completed two mineral resource estimates on the porphyry mineralization at Galeno, both of which are considered to be historical estimates. The first estimate was very preliminary in nature based on thirty-eight drillholes, and was done using a block model and the inverse distance squared interpolation method. The second estimate incorporated forty-six drillholes, and used an Ordinary Kriging interpolation method, which treated copper and gold grades separately. AMEC did not audit or re-estimate the mineral resource. In AMEC’s opinion the Historical Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate calculated by North (Webster, 1998b) using the Ordinary Kriging method may be quoted as 486 Mt at 0.57% Cu and 0.14g/t Au, at a cut-off grade of 0.4% Cu. No Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves, as defined by NI 43-101 or CIM definitions, have been estimated at Galeno.

Using the first historical resource estimate as a base, North completed an in-house conceptual study of the Galeno deposit, prior to the completing the final drill program. The study assumed that all the copper existed as sulphide and that it was suitable for heap leach or the production of a higher-grade flotation concentrate. The possibility of mining the deposit by open pit methods was addressed.

J-6


North also completed a preliminary metallurgical study. Direct acid leaching with sulphuric acid was found not to be feasible. A concentrate leach option considered two options, the Intec and the CESL processes, both of which at the time were not fully commercialized. According to the Conceptual Study, only the untested Intec Method was financially viable (Webster, 1998b).

After the completion of additional diamond drilling and the second resource estimate (using the Ordinary Kriging method), the conceptual study was updated by North (Webster, 1998b). A high grade zone (grading >1% Cu) that was defined by the drilling was evaluated as a starter pit, however it was determined that it would not meet North’s minimum development criteria unless there were significant reductions in the capital costs. North also concluded that the geology and mineralization in the Galeno zone had not been adequately defined by the drilling completed to date.

Norco has completed no exploration activities on the Project to date.

OTHER NORCO PROPERTIES

Molino Property

The Molino Property lease lies contiguous to Norco’s Galeno Property described above. The vendors of the Property will be paid a net profits interest (“NPI”) of up to 20%, depending on the timing of production from the concession. The NPI converts to a 1% net smelter return royalty if production commences after 2006. The agreement also involved the acquisition of Eastpac Minerals Peru SA by Norco’s Ontario subsidiary, 1327008 Ontario Ltd., and Minera Andes de Norte SA by Norco’s Peruvian subsidiary, Lumina Copper SAC. Under the lease there is a 6% NPI.

The Molino Property lease is currently the subject of ongoing litigation. Norco does not consider the dispute to be material but an unfavourable ruling could limit the expansion of the known mineral resource at Galeno. Norco has already been successful in defending the claim in an arbitration and Norco believes it will be successful in defending the litigation; however, Norco cannot guarantee the results.

Pashpap Property

The Pashpap Property was acquired by staking in July 2003. It consists of 8 mining concessions (6,240 hectares) and is located in Ancash department of northern Peru. The Pashpap property contains an Andean type “porphyry copper” hydrothermal system that has at least five porphyry centres and a skarn zone. Copper mineralization was first recognised on the Pashpap property in 1914. Subsequently the property has undergone a number of exploration campaigns by the following companies: Newmont, AMAX, Homestake, Buenaventura and Noranda. A total of 16,245 metres of diamond drilling in 88 holes have been completed on the property.

The Pashpap Property is without known ore reserves and any exploration undertaken by Norco in the future will be exploratory in nature.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Attached as Schedule “A” to the Management Proxy Circular is a summary of historical financial data for Regalito for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 derived from the financial statements of Regalito at each of those dates. As well, at Schedule “A” to the Management Proxy Circular is the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet for Norco as at December 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet was prepared as if the Arrangement had occurred on December 31, 2004.

MARKET FOR SECURITIES

An application will be made for the listing and posting on the TSX of Norco’s Common Shares. The listing of the Norco Common Shares on the TSX will be subject to Norco meeting the TSX’s original listing requirements. If Norco is not able to meet the original listing requirements of the TSX then Norco will seek to list the Norco Common Shares on the TSX-V. Conditional listing approval has not yet been obtained and there can be no assurance that the Norco Common Shares will be listed on the TSX or any other stock exchange. While Norco intends to continue to seek a listing for the Norco Common Shares if such shares are not listed on the TSX, delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain such listings will not be a condition of the parties to the completion of the Plan of Arrangement.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

Following the Arrangement, Norco will be authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The holders of Norco Common Shares will be entitled to receive notice of, and to one vote per share at, every meeting of shareholders

J-8


of Norco, to receive such dividends as the board of directors declares, and to share equally in the assets of Norco remaining upon the liquidation of Norco after the creditors of Norco have been satisfied.

RISK FACTORS

The risk factors contained in Schedule “M” to the Management Proxy Circular should be considered carefully. These risk factors could materially and adversely affect Norco’s future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to Norco.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The directors of Norco approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the “Norco Plan”), subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. The directors are of the view that it is in the best interests of Norco to implement the Norco Plan, which will enable the directors to grant options to directors, officers, employees and other service providers as a means of rewarding positive performance and providing incentive to effectively manage the affairs of Norco.

In addition, the directors of Norco wish to seek “disinterested shareholder approval” (such that no insider or proposed insider (or their associates) will be entitled to vote on such resolutions) to include a provision for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Norco (the “Norco Bonus Shares”) in each calendar year to those directors, officers, employees and consultants who are deemed to have provided extraordinary contributions to the advancement of Norco. Any such issuance would be based on performance reviews.

The Norco Plan is in all material aspects identical to the Lumina New Plan. The following information is intended as a brief description of the Norco Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Norco Plan which is available for review by any Shareholder up until the day preceding the Meeting at Norco’s office at Suite 1550 - 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia:

(a)

all options will be non-assignable and non-transferable.

     
(b)

a maximum of 10% of the issued shares of Norco, from time to time inclusive of the Bonus Shares, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options.

     
(c)

the exercise price of any options granted under the Norco Plan will be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, but shall not be less than the weighted average market price of the 5 trading days prior to the date the option is granted.

     
(d)

the number of shares which may be reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to Insiders under the Norco Plan, together with all of Norco’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Norco on a non-diluted basis. The number of option shares and Bonus Shares which may be issuable under the Norco Plan, together with all of Norco’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, within a one-year period:

     
(a)

to Insiders in aggregate, shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding issue; and

(b)

to any one optionee who is an Insider and any Associates of such Insider, shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding issue.

     
(e)

subject to prior shareholder approval, the Norco Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to any one individual during a one year period to 5% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

     
(f)

the Norco Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to a consultant or an employee performing investor relations activities during a one year period to 2% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

     
(g)

the Norco Plan limits the exercise period of any option grant to 10 years from the date of grant, or such lesser period as determined by the directors of Norco.

J-9



(h)

upon expiry of an option, or in the event an option is otherwise terminated for any reason, without having been exercised in full, the number of shares in respect of the expired or terminated option will again be available for the purposes of the Norco Plan.

   
(i)

if the option holder ceases to be a director of Norco or ceases to be employed by Norco (other then by reason of death), as the case may be, then the option granted will expire on no later than the 30th day following the date that the option holder ceases to be a director or ceases to be employed by Norco, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Norco Plan.

   
(j)

disinterested shareholder approval must be obtained for (i) any reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding option, if the option holder is an insider; and (ii) any grant of options to any one individual, within a 12 month period, exceeding 5% of Norco’s issued shares.

   
(k)

for stock options granted to employees, consultants or management company employees, Norco represents that the proposed optionee is a bona fide employee, consultant or management company employee, as the case may be.

   
(l)

options will be reclassified in the event of any consolidation, subdivision, conversion or exchange of Norco’s common shares.

   
(m)

the Board of Directors may make certain amendments to the Norco Plan or any option without shareholder approval. The directors have the authority to make changes such as: amendments of a “housekeeping” nature; a change to the vesting provisions of an option or the Norco Plan; a change to the termination provisions of an option or the Norco Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; and the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying options from the Norco Plan reserve. Amendments which reduce the exercise price or extend the term of an option held by an insider or which increase the fixed maximum percentage of common shares issuable under the Norco Plan will require shareholder approval. Any amendment to the Norco Plan is also subject to the acceptance of the TSX.

The Norco Plan will be administered by Norco’s secretary or such other senior officer or employee as may be designated by the board of directors from time to time. Upon the approval of the Norco Plan by the Shareholders, shareholder approval will not be required or sought on a case-by-case basis for the purpose of the granting of options to and the exercise of options by employees of Norco or its affiliates regularly employed on a full-time or part-time basis, directors of Norco and persons who perform services for Norco on an ongoing basis or who have provided, or are expected to provide, services of value to Norco.

At the Meeting, conditional upon approval of the Arrangement, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit to approve a resolution approving the Norco Plan, the full text of which resolution is included in Schedule “D” hereto under the heading Norco Plan Resolution.

AUDITORS, REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT

Norco’s auditors are Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Accountants, of Suite 2800 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N3.

The registrar and transfer agent for Norco is Pacific Corporate Trust Company, 10th floor, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B8.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Global was incorporated by registration of its Notice of Articles under the BCBCA on February 28, 2005 under the name “Continental Copper Corp.” On May 23, 2005, the Company changed its name to “Global Copper Corp.”

Global obtained its interests in the Relincho and Vizcachitas properties in Chile and the San Jorge and Taca Taca Properties in Argentina by way of the Arrangement which saw Regalito dispose of part of its Chilean copper property interests and all of its Argentinean property interests to Global. Regalito retained its interest in the Regalito Property.

The principal place of business of Global is located at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T6. The following chart sets forth Global’s corporate structure:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Global’s business is the acquisition and development of advanced stage copper exploration properties and other exploration mineral properties in Chile and Argentina. Global currently has interests in two properties in Chile and two properties in Argentina. Its primary asset is the Relincho Property.

RELINCHO PROPERTY, CHILE

Acquisition of the Property

On January 8, 2004 Regalito concluded an agreement with Andes Pacific Development S.A ("APDS”) of Santiago, Chile, to acquire 100% of the Relincho Property. To date US$1.0 million has been paid by Regalito to APDS. Global must pay APDS a further US$5.0 million in cash or shares of Global (at Global’s election) by December 31, 2006. Provided the shares of Global are trading on a recognised stock exchange in North America, Global will have the right to pay any or all of the remaining $US5.0 million in shares of Global based on the price of Global’s shares for the 20 trading days ending five trading days prior to the date of the issuance of the shares of Global.

Description and Location of the Property

The Relincho Property is located approximately 50 km east of Vallenar and 630 km north of Santiago in Region III of northern, Chile and consists of approximately 19,516 hectares. The property consists of 87 contiguous mining claims, more particularly described as follows:

Relincho Property Information

The Report

Regalito commissioned AMEC (Perú) S.A. (AMEC) to provide an independent Qualified Person’s Review and Technical Report for the Relincho Cu-Mo Porphyry Property (the “Property”) located in northern Chile. As part of the Technical Report, AMEC was also requested to complete an independent mineral resource estimate of the Relincho Porphyry Deposit, which complies with CIM reporting standards. AMEC employees Robert Cinits, P.Geo and Denis Boivin, P.Geo served as the Qualified Persons responsible for the preparation of the Technical Report as defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and in compliance with Form 43-101F1. The Report is based on information known to AMEC as of December 10, 2003.

The following is a summary of the Report. The full Report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. If access to the internet is not available, a copy of the full Report can be reviewed at the offices of Lumina at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T6 during normal business hours.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

Accessibility

Access to the Relincho Property is from the city of Vallenar, located approximately 630 km north of Santiago. Vallenar can be reached from Santiago by driving north approximately 4.5 hours along the four lane Pan American highway to La Serena and continuing north an additional 2.5 hours to Vallenar. Although Vallenar has an airport, it currently only

K-4


services local private small aircraft and no scheduled flights are available. The closest commercial airports, which are serviced by several daily flights from Santiago, are in La Serena (approximately 150 km direct distance to the south of Vallenar) and Copiapo (approximately 140 km direct distance to the north). Copiapo can be reached in about 2.0 hours driving time from Vallenar along the Pan American highway.

Climate

The climate in the region is regarded as arid to desert with an average annual rainfall of about 5 to 20 mm. Winters (May to September) are generally mild with temperature variations between -5° and 25°, while summers (October to April) are hot and very dry with temperature variations between 10° and 30°. Snow is extremely rare around Vallenar and the Property, however it is known to occur at the higher elevations east of the Property boundary. Exploration can easily continue year round in this part of Chile.

Local Resources and Infrastructure

The Relincho Property contains very little developed road infrastructure apart from those constructed for drill rig access during the mid 1990’s. The condition of these drill roads is moderate to poor at best and a 4-wheel drive truck is recommended.

A permanent camp exists on the Property, and was used a base for Outokumpu’s exploration programs (see below). The camp has been continually guarded and moderately maintained since Outokumpu’s departure and includes sleeping facilities for 16 people, an office, kitchen and dining room. The camp also includes a covered core cutting shed and core racks (currently holding over 17,800 metres of core), an RC cuttings storage area, an operating 10KW diesel generator and an area with fuel tanks for vehicles.

Previous studies have located several water sources nearby the project area, the most significant being the Huasco River, located approximately 30 km southwest of the Property. A second significant source exists at the Quebrada de Algarrobal, the headwaters of which occur approximately 3 km north of the Relincho Porphyry. Flow rates in this creek had previously been measured at a rate of 20 to 50 litres per second. Although there are other year round creeks on the Property, an updated hydrogeological study would be required to determine their suitability to support a mining operation.

The city of Vallenar (population ~ 50,000) is the closest major centre and can provide basic goods, services and accommodations for the early and advanced stages of project development and operations. More advanced projects would generally have to be serviced from Santiago. Vallenar can provide labour requirements for various stages of exploration and development projects.

Although the closest significant power source to the Relincho Property is in Vallenar, the camp at the Relincho Property does have an operating 10 kW diesel generator, which is sufficient to supply power for exploration purposes. The main power grid that is part of the Chilean northern electrical distribution system passes through the town of Maitencillo, approximately 70 km east of the Property. The grid is fed by two coal fired 150 MW power plants in the Huasco area, on the coast, and a third 83 kW gas turbine unit, which is also in the Huasco area.

There is no telephone or cellular phone service on the Relincho Property and the closest communication is available in Vallenar. Chile has an excellent telecommunication network and most of the main cities and towns are connected to a fibre optic network, or have cellular phone coverage.

Andes Pacific also owns a residential property in the town of Vallenar, which includes a 190 m2 one-story house, comprising two offices and a conference room, together with reception and secretarial stations, and accommodations and showers for overnight stay. Within the property are several secure storage sheds where most of the laboratory rejects and pulps from the previous sampling programs are stored. A guard remains on site on a permanent basis. The property surrounding the house has an area of 3,000 m2.

The nearest industrial port is located in Huasco, approximately 80 km direct distance west from the Relincho Property. These facilities host three docks, which are currently used to load iron ore from Compania Minera Pacifico’s (CMP) nearby open pit mines (Los Colorados and El Algarrobo Mines). The largest of the docks can accommodate iron ore ships up to a capacity of 300,000 dwt. A second dock receives coal ships with capacity up to 40,000 tonnes and the third dock, which is the smallest of the three, receives limestone for the CMP iron pelletizing plant. An alternative port

K-5


is located at Punta Padrones in Caldera (approximately 160 km direct distance north of Huasco), where Phelps Dodge loads concentrates from the 432 Mt Candelaria copper mine. This port, which is designed for handling concentrates, is situated 270 km by road from Relincho and is reportedly operating at less than 50% capacity.

Although a detailed study on potential buyers and smelting of a Relincho copper concentrate has not been completed, operating Chilean smelters exist at Potrerillos, Altonorte and Paipote. These smelters mostly treat sulphide copper concentrates from various mines throughout northern Chile and Andes Pacific believes that they would likely acquire Relincho concentrates.

Physiography, Flora and Fauna

The Relincho Property is located in the gently rolling mountainous terrain along the western edge of the high Andean Cordillera. Elevations on the Property vary between approximately 1,500 and 2,000 masl. To the east of the Relincho Property occurs the high Andean cordillera, which consists of numerous peaks with elevations in excess of 5,000 m. The border between Chile and Argentina occurs approximately 65 km east of the camp and marks the continental watershed divide.

Due to the desert climate, vegetation on the property is very sparse and generally only occasional cactus or shrubs can be found. The only trees that can be found are in some dry creek beds, where water might be only a metre below surface. Although water is sparse in the area, occasional foxes, rabbits, and vizcachas can be found in the hills surrounding the property. The only domestic livestock that can survive in the area are goats and no agricultural activity is carried out on the Relincho Property.

History

Small scale mining activities in the vicinity of the Relincho Property date back as far as the turn of the century and continued to the 1970’s. There is evidence of numerous other pits, adits and shafts within the district however no documentation of who worked these, or if any significant amount of ore was mined.

In 1970, a Chilean-Romanian consortium named Compañia de Exploración y Explotación Minera Chileno-Rumana Ltda. (COEMIN) optioned the Porvenir and Progreso properties, which cover the current Relincho Deposit, and over a two year period they completed an exploration program targeting high grade, vein-style Cu-Au-Ag mineralization.

As far as AMEC is aware the Relincho Property sat idle for the next 20 years until 1993 when Outokumpu Chile S.A. (Outokumpu), a subsidiary of the Finnish based mining and smelting group, Outokumpu Metals and Resources OY, acquired the prospecting rights to the Property and initiated a multi-phase exploration program, which lasted until 1997. In 2000, Placer Dome acquired Minera Relincho S.A. and hence the Relincho Property, by exercise of certain rights in connection with the joint ownership with Outokumpu in the Zaldivar Copper mine in northern Chile (Andes Pacific, 2002). Placer did not complete any exploration over the Relincho Property and in February 2002 it was vended to Andes Pacific, which was set up as a vehicle to sell the Property. Subsequent to acquisition of the Relincho Property, Andes Pacific has advanced many of the claims to a mensura stage, and has maintained the others in good standing, but has not completed any new exploration.

Geological Setting

The geology of the central portion of the Relincho Property comprises a sequence of Lower Tertiary andesites, which are intruded by the Lower Tertiary Los Morteros Granodiorite Batholith. A multi-phase intrusive complex intrudes the granodiorite batholith and consists of a series of “Intra-mineral”, “Late Mineral”, and “Post Mineral” rhyodacitic to dacitic intrusive stocks aligned along a west-northwest trend. The porphyry-style copper and molybdenum mineralization on the Relincho Property is associated with these intrusives, associated breccia phases, and also in the contact zones with the host granodiorite. The porphyries, particularly at contacts, display moderate to intense potassic hydrothermal alteration and strong quartz and k-feldspar stockwork veining. A set of major north striking and west-northwest striking faults are key structural controls to the emplacement of the mineralized porphyries.

Exploration

Five Cu-Mo porphyry centres have been discovered on the Relincho Property in a five kilometre long east-west alignment known as the Relincho-Soledad Porphyry System. From west to east the centres are Los Amarillos,

K-6


Relincho, Las Guias, Marja, and Soledad. Outokumpu drilled 150 diamond and RC drill holes totalling approximately 43,028 m into the Cu-Mo porphyry centres and most of the drilling was concentrated on the Relincho Porphyry (120 holes totalling 35,469 m). The Relincho Porphyry is considered to be at an advanced stage of exploration and hosts mineral resources. The other porphyry centres are considered to be moderate to early stage exploration targets.

Mineralization

The Relincho Porphyry is located on the western side of the Relincho-Soledad Porphyry System and on surface covers an area of approximately 700 m by 500 m. Copper mineralization occurs mostly as primary sulphides. A 10 to 70 m thick leached/oxide cap occurs above the sulphide mineralization. Supergene enrichment is not well developed at Relincho. The primary sulphide mineralization has been intersected to a maximum depth of approximately 700 m and consists of mostly bornite and chalcopyrite along with varying amounts of molybdenite, pyrite, digenite, and covellite. Oxide mineralization consists mainly of malachite and chrysocolla.

Drilling

The exploration and delineation of the Relincho Porphyry and the early stage drilling over the Las Guias, Marja, and Los Amarillos Porphyries was carried out by Outokumpu, during a five year exploration program between 1993 and 1997. The majority of the drilling was completed between 1994 and 1996. The following table summarize the drilling completed on the Relincho Property.

Almost all of the holes were collared at a dips ranging between of –50° and –75° and at an azimuth of 270°. Only one hole was drilled to the north, and a few holes were drilled at various dips oriented towards the east. Drill hole lengths ranged between 30 and 759 m, but in general averaged around 250 to 350 m. The drilling orientation was chosen presumably since is perpendicular to the trend of the main faults that cross the system, which were designated as one of the major controls on mineralization. From the surface mapping it is clear that there is also a strong component of mineralized veining in the stockwork fractured zones that trends east-west or west-north west and these orientations would not have been properly tested during the drill program. Several important east trending late andesitic dikes also intrude in this westerly direction, however modeling of these dikes at depth to properly account for dilution of the mineral resources has proved to be difficult due to the lack of north or south oriented drill holes.

All of the core holes and mixed RC/core holes were drilled at the Relincho Porphyry and constitute approximately half of the amount of drilling in this zone. Holes were collared using HX diameter core, which was reduced to NX at depths ranging between approximately 43 and 215 m, and some were further reduced to BQ or BX at depths ranging between approximately 450 to 550 m.

Fourteen of the holes were collared using RC drilling, and then once mineralization was intersected, at depths ranging between 120 m and 300 m, the drilling method was switched to core drilling. All of the RC holes were 5 ¼” diameter holes.

Drill holes at the Relincho Porphyry were collared on fifteen, 50 m spaced east-west sections, between 6,844,600 N and 6,845,300 N. Hole spacing along each section is variable, but in general ranges between approximately 20 and 200 m. The majority of the holes were drilled on eight of these sections between 6,844,650 N and 6,845,100 N, where drill spacing ranges between approximately 20 m and 75 m, and where the majority of the mineral resource has been outlined (see “Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates” below). A few isolated holes were drilled outside of the main grid. Outokumpu presented the drill hole data and interpreted the geology on the fifteen cross-sections.

K-7


Drill holes at the Las Guias Porphyry were collared on five 100 m spaced, east-west sections. All holes were oriented at approximately 270° at dips ranging between -65° and -75°. Hole spacing along each section was wide spaced, ranging between approximately 120 and 250 m. Two of the sections only have one drill hole.

Drill holes at the Marja Porphyry were collared on seven 50 to100 m spaced, east-west oriented sections. Almost all of the holes were oriented at approximately 270° at dips ranging between -50° and -73°. Drill hole spacing along each section was wide spaced, ranging between approximately 50 and 300 m. Two of the sections only have one drill hole.

Only two east oriented RC holes, which are spaced approximately 400 m apart were drilled at the Los Amarillos Porphyry.

Geotechnical summaries report that recovery was recorded for only 53 of the holes drilled on the Relincho Property, corresponding with the majority of the core holes drilled at the Relincho Porphyry. No recovery was recorded for the RC drill holes. In general, the average recovery for each hole was good, ranging between 90 and 99%. Within each hole there were local small intervals with poor recovery, averaging between approximately 50% to 70%, generally corresponding with zones of faulting and/or fracturing or near surface oxidized rock. All core was logged and sampled on site, and then stored on aluminium boxes in covered aluminium core racks, which are still in excellent shape. The RC rejects for the low grade intervals are stored in plastic bags in a covered storage area on the Relincho Property. The higher grade intervals were removed from the site and a small (approximately 1,000 g) portion has been transferred to a plastic jar and is stored at the facility in Vallenar.

Sampling and Analysis

Introduction

Three main sampling programs were completed during the five years that the Property was explored by Outokumpu. These sampling programs included drill core samples, RC sampling and surface channel chip samples. Documentation of these methods, including the logging and sampling procedures, are in most cases incomplete, however based on the data provided to AMEC these sampling programs are described in various levels of detail below.

Core Logging and Sampling Procedures

There is little documentation of procedures used during the Outokumpu core drilling program (46 core holes, plus 14 mixed RC/core holes) except for the documentation in the summary style reports and the drill hole logs which were made available to AMEC. As stated under “Drilling” above, core diameter and recovery information was available for most of the core holes.

In general, the hard copy drill hole logs are very generalized and are lacking in detail, given the complex nature of the geology in the Relincho Porphyry. The geological logging included ore type, lithology, alteration, grade of alteration, type of mineralization, and visually estimated bornite volume percent. Each drill hole has the following data in digital format: collar details, survey details, sample number, from, to, length, ore type code, ore type number, lithology code (alphabetical and numeric), mineralization code, bornite volume %, total Cu (%), soluble Cu (%; only 100 samples out of the entire drill hole database), Mo (ppm), structural code, and RQD.

In addition, geotechnical logging was completed for each core hole. The data collected was based on a core logging program developed by Piteau Associates and included the following information: RQD, hardness, joint frequency, joint condition, degree of breakage, alteration degree (amount of clay minerals), and percentage of crushed material.

There is no information relating to protocols used for core handling.

A total of 18,986 samples were collected (cut by a diamond saw) from the 60 core holes drilled at the Relincho Porphyry. Samples were collected over the entire length of the each core hole across mostly one metre sample lengths (97% of the samples). The remaining 3% of the core samples range from 0.05 m to 0.95 m or 1.10 to 5.0 m in length. All of the drill hole data is in a digital format.

Most of the core was photographed and the photos are appended to the hard copy drill logs. There is no mention whether the geologist who was logging the core marked a grease pencil line as a guide for the core cutter to follow. Cutting guidelines should be placed on the core by an experienced geologist and drawn so that they are perpendicular to the mineralization or lithologic foliation, so sampling bias is not introduced. Based on the results of AMEC’s re-

K-8


sampling program (see “Data Verification” below) it is possible that a bias may have been introduced for the higher grade samples (>1.25% copper). Samples above this grade likely have a higher percentage of coarse bornite and chalcopyrite mineralization and it is possible that the cutter placed the “better” side of the core into the sample bag.

AMEC is not aware if any systematic blanks, standards, or duplicates were inserted into the sample sequence as part of a QA/QC program, however Outokumpu did complete a program of pulp duplicate sampling.

Samples were collected by Outokumpu for bulk density testing from most of the core holes. In total 3,392 samples were collected.

RC Logging and Sampling Procedures

There is little documentation of procedures used during the Outokumpu RC drilling program (90 RC holes, plus 14 mixed RC/core holes) except for the documentation in the summary style reports and the drill hole logs which were made available to AMEC. As stated under “Drilling” above, core diameter was 5 ¼” and no recoveries were measured for any of the holes.

In general, the hard copy drill hole logs were generalized, but provide sufficient information given the RC nature of drilling. The RC drill logs include the same information as on the core logs. Each drill hole has the following data in digital format: collar details, survey details, sample number, from, to, length, ore type code, ore type number, lithology code (alphabetical and numeric), mineralization code, bornite volume %, total Cu (%), soluble Cu (%; only 100 samples out of the entire drill hole database), Mo (ppm), and a structural code.

There is no information relating to protocols used for the splitting of the sample at the drill rig, or general drilling conditions, including water levels intersected in the holes.

A total of approximately 22,599 samples were collected from the 90 RC holes (plus 14 mixed RC/core holes) drilled on the Relincho Property. This includes 15,055 samples from Relincho Porphyry; 1,946 from Las Guias Porphyry; 5,208 from Marja Porphyry; and 390 from Los Amarillos Porphyry. Samples were collected over the entire length of the each RC hole across mostly one metre sample lengths. Only a handful of samples in the entire database were from other lengths. All of the drill hole data is in a digital format.

AMEC is not aware if any systematic blanks, standards, or duplicates were inserted into the sample sequence as part of a QA/QC program, however Outokumpu did complete a program of pulp duplicate sampling.

Surface Sampling

A total of 6,692 surface channel chip samples were collected over the Relincho-Soledad Porphyry System. The samples were collected across widths ranging between 2 to 5 metres. The digital database forwarded to AMEC provides the x and y coordinate of the start of each sample interval. The database does not include a sample length or z coordinate. The format of the data is suitable for import to resource estimation software as horizontal “drill holes” or sample strings. Original hard copy maps were forwarded to AMEC which document this information.

No data was forwarded to AMEC, which summarizes the sample collection protocols.

AMEC is not aware of any systematic blanks, standards, or duplicates that were inserted into the sample sequence as part of a QA/QC program for the surface samples.

AMEC does not consider that the surface samples have the same support as the drill core and RC samples due to the lack of information on the sample size, sampling methods and material being collected. The database for the current mineral resource estimate does not include data from the surface sampling program.

Sample Analyses

According to the Outokumpu Conceptual Study, samples from the drilling programs and surface sampling programs were sent to ACME Analytical Laboratories (Chile) Limitada in Santiago, Alfred H. Knight Limitada in Antofagasta, Chile, Bondar-Clegg Chile Limitada in Coquimbo or Geoanalitica in Coquimbo. Based on the data reviewed by AMEC, it appears that the majority of the drill hole samples were forwarded to either Alfred H. Knight or Geoanalitica.

K-9


Sample preparation and analytical protocols were only available for the latter laboratory, however Outokumpu stated in the 1997 Conceptual Study that all of the other labs used the following protocols:

  • Weighing: 2 grams
  • Attack: HNO3 = 5 cc; HCl = 15 cc, HclO4 = 5 cc.
  • Leaching with 5% HCl, slow warming until complete dissolution of salts
  • Cooling, transfer to 100 cc volume, adding 1 cc of 10% Na2SO4
  • Reading of Cu and Mo by AAS method

No documents were provided to AMEC which show the details for sample preparation protocols from each lab or their internal quality control protocols or data.

The majority of the original laboratory rejects and pulps were returned to Outokumpu at the conclusion of the analyses and are currently stored in the Andes Pacific house in Vallenar.

Security of Samples

Very little documentation was provided in the reports reviewed by AMEC that documents the sample preparation and analytical protocols used by the various laboratories that Outokumpu used during their exploration program. In addition, no reference is made as to sample security during transportation or what (if any) procedures were in place to ensure a ‘chain of custody’. In addition there is also no mention of any security measures that were in place for core and sample storage. It appears that all of the sampling was carried out by company employees. However, there is no mention of this in the available documents.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates

AMEC was retained to complete a mineral resource estimate on the Relincho Porphyry Deposit. The estimate was made from 3-dimensional block models utilizing commercial mine planning software (Gemcom®). Denis Boivin, P.Geo was the Qualified Person responsible for the preparation of the resource estimate. AMEC also undertook a program of data verification by resampling a portion of the existing core, RC rejects, pulps, and lab rejects.

The estimate was completed using a block model with 10 m x 10 m x 10 m blocks and 10 m bench composites. Grade interpolation was done by Ordinary Kriging and was compared with two other methods, inverse distance squared and nearest neighbour. In addition, the Gemcom generated resource estimates were compared against an estimate prepared in Medsystem using inverse distance squared interpolation. The resource estimate is presented as % Total Cu, since the previous sampling campaigns included very few assays for soluble copper. AMEC has recommended that a program of re-sampling of the drill hole sample pulps be completed to determine the amount of soluble copper in the oxide portion of the deposit.

The total (oxide plus sulphide) mineralization of the Relincho Porphyry as of November 27, 2003, is classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources, consistent with the CIM definitions referred to in National Instrument 43-101. The Measured plus Indicated Mineral Resources are 184.24 Mt tonnes grading 0.59% Cu and 235 ppm Mo, at a 0.40% Cu cut-off. An additional 101.39 Mt grading 0.51% Cu and 165 ppm Mo is reported as an Inferred Mineral Resource at a 0.40% Cu cut-off. The classified mineral resources at various copper cut-off grades are shown in the following tables.

Exploration and Development

Early stage, in-house metallurgical and flotation testwork was completed on samples from the Relincho Deposit by Outokumpu in 1995. The results of the testwork determined that based on the sample mineralogy, the main zones of copper mineralization respond reasonably to conventional flotation methods. A clean, high grade copper concentrate and good copper recoveries should be achievable, ranking Relincho well in comparison to existing copper porphyry concentrate operations. Molybdenum recoveries were not so high and Cu-Mo flotation separation was not successful at achieving a saleable Mo concentrate. Further metallurgical testwork is recommended to improve the Mo recoveries.

Other principal porphyry target areas on the Relincho Property, some of which have seen previous drilling (Las Guias and Marja), were reviewed but were not considered as part of the resource estimate. Drilling data is considered to be either too widespread or without sufficient support. Data validation, including twin drilling is required before a mineral resource estimate can be initiated for the other areas.

AMEC’s review of the Relincho Property indicates that the Cu-Mo mineralization at the Relincho Porphyry remains open at depth and to the north and south although copper grades appear to be dropping in these directions. Hypogene copper mineralization intersected at the Las Guias and Marja Porphyries is lower in grade than at the Relincho Porphyry, however it remains open in most directions. Results of early stage mapping, sampling and drilling at the Los Amarillos Porphyry combine to make this area a prospective exploration target with the potential for supergene enriched copper mineralization.

The copper oxide potential on the property has only been tested on a preliminary basis, but remains an attractive exploration target. Although the depth of the oxides generally does not exceed 70 metres, there appears to be an extensive capping of leached/oxidized copper mineralization that covers a significant portion of the 5 km long Relincho-Soledad Porphyry System.

Three main types of copper mineralization are exploration targets on the Relincho Property, which are as follows:

  • Extensions to the known hypogene mineralization at the Relincho, Marja, and Las Guias Porphyries.
  • Oxide copper mineralization within the entire 5 km long Relincho-Soledad Porphyry System.
  • Supergene porphyry copper enrichment zones beneath the leached stockwork zone at Los Amarillos.

The Relincho Property is without known ore reserves and any exploration undertaken by Global in the future will be exploratory in nature.

Property Information

Copper mineralization was first recognized on the San Jorge Property in the early 1960s. From the 1960s to 1998 the property has been explored by four exploration companies, namely Minera Aguilar S.A., Exploraciones Falconbridge Argentina S.A., Recursos Americanos Argentinos S.A. and Gruponer Concagua S.A

A total of 117 drillholes totalling over 20,000 metres have been drilled on the property between 1964 and 1996 including 11,831 metres of diamond drilling in 57 drillholes and 8,371 m of reverse circulation drilling in 60 drillholes. Mineralization is hosted by both Carboniferous sediments and Permo-Triassic granitic and dacitic, porphyritic intrusives. Both low and high-grade hypogene copper mineralization is dominated by chalcopyrite. Superimposed on the hypogene mineralization is a supergene enriched zone, which comprises chalcocite, digenite and covellite, an oxide zone dominated by malachite and chrysocolla, and a poorly developed leached cap.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Attached as Schedule “A” to the Management Proxy Circular is a summary of historical financial data for Regalito for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 derived from the financial statements of Regalito at each of those dates. As well, at Schedule “A” to the Management Proxy Circular is the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet for Global as at December 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet was prepared as if the Arrangement had occurred on December 31, 2004.

MARKET FOR SECURITIES

Subsequent to the applications for the listing and posting on the TSX by Global and Global of their respective common shares Global will apply for the listing and posting on the TSX of Global’s Common Shares. The listing of the Global Common Shares on the TSX will be subject to Global meeting the TSX’s original listing requirements. If Global is not able to meet the original listing requirements of the TSX then Global will seek to list the Global Common Shares on the TSX-V. Conditional listing approval has not yet been obtained and there can be no assurance that the Global Common Shares will be listed on the TSX or any other stock exchange. While Global intends to continue to seek a listing for the Global Common Shares if such shares are not listed on the TSX, delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain such listings will not be a condition of the parties to the completion of the Plan of Arrangement. There can be no assurance that the necessary discretionary orders or exemptions will be granted by the applicable regulatory authorities or that the Global Common Shares will be listed on any stock exchange.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

Following the Arrangement, Global will be authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The holders of Global Common Shares will be entitled to receive notice of, and to one vote per share at, every meeting of shareholders of Global, to receive such dividends as the board of directors declares, and to share equally in the assets of Global remaining upon the liquidation of Global after the creditors of Global have been satisfied.

RISK FACTORS

The risk factors contained in Schedule “M” to the Management Proxy Circular should be considered carefully. These risk factors could materially and adversely affect Global’s future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to Global.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The directors of Global approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the “Global Plan”), subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. The directors are of the view that it is in the best interests of Global to implement the Global Plan, which will enable the directors to grant options to directors, officers, employees and other service providers as a means of rewarding positive performance and providing incentive to effectively manage the affairs of Global.

In addition, the directors of Global wish to seek “disinterested shareholder approval” (such that no insider or proposed insider (or their associates) will be entitled to vote on such resolutions) to include a provision for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Global (the “Global Bonus Shares”) in each calendar year to those directors, officers, employees and consultants who are deemed to have provided extraordinary contributions to the advancement of Global. Any such issuance would be based on performance reviews.

The Global Plan is in all material aspects identical to the Lumina New Plan. The following information is intended as a brief description of the Global Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Global Plan which is available for review by any Shareholder up until the day preceding the Meeting at Global’s office at Suite 1550 - 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia:

(a)

all options will be non-assignable and non-transferable.

   
(b)

a maximum of 10% of the issued shares of Global, from time to time inclusive of the Bonus Shares, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options.

   
(c)

the exercise price of any options granted under the Global Plan will be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, but shall not be less than the weighted average market price of the 5 trading days prior to the date the option is granted.

K-17



(d)

the number of shares which may be reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to Insiders under the Global Plan, together with all of Global’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Global on a non-diluted basis. The number of option shares and Bonus Shares which may be issuable under the Global Plan, together with all of Global’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, within a one-year period:

     
(a)

to Insiders in aggregate, shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding issue; and

(b)

to any one optionee who is an Insider and any Associates of such Insider, shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding issue.

     
(e)

subject to prior shareholder approval, the Global Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to any one individual during a one year period to 5% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

     
(f)

the Global Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to a consultant or an employee performing investor relations activities during a one year period to 2% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

     
(g)

the Global Plan limits the exercise period of any option grant to 10 years from the date of grant, or such lesser period as determined by the directors of Global.

     
(h)

upon expiry of an option, or in the event an option is otherwise terminated for any reason, without having been exercised in full, the number of shares in respect of the expired or terminated option will again be available for the purposes of the Global Plan.

     
(i)

if the option holder ceases to be a director of Global or ceases to be employed by Global (other then by reason of death), as the case may be, then the option granted will expire on no later than the 30th day following the date that the option holder ceases to be a director or ceases to be employed by Global, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Global Plan.

     
(j)

disinterested shareholder approval must be obtained for (i) any reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding option, if the option holder is an insider; and (ii) any grant of options to any one individual, within a 12 month period, exceeding 5% of Global’s issued shares.

     
(k)

for stock options granted to employees, consultants or management company employees, Global represents that the proposed optionee is a bona fide employee, consultant or management company employee, as the case may be.

     
(l)

options will be reclassified in the event of any consolidation, subdivision, conversion or exchange of Global’s common shares.

     
(m)

the Board of Directors may make certain amendments to the Global Plan or any option without shareholder approval. The directors have the authority to make changes such as: amendments of a “housekeeping” nature; a change to the vesting provisions of an option or the Global Plan; a change to the termination provisions of an option or the Global Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; and the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying options from the Global Plan reserve. Amendments which reduce the exercise price or extend the term of an option held by an insider or which increase the fixed maximum percentage of common shares issueable under the Global Plan will require shareholder approval. Any amendment to the Global Plan is also subject to the acceptance of the TSX.

The Global Plan will be administered by Global’s secretary or such other senior officer or employee as may be designated by the board of directors from time to time. Upon the approval of the Global Plan by the Shareholders, shareholder approval will not be required or sought on a case-by-case basis for the purpose of the granting of options to and the exercise of options by employees of Global or its affiliates regularly employed on a full-time or part-time basis, directors of Global and persons who perform services for Global on an ongoing basis or who have provided, or are expected to provide, services of value to Global.

K-18


At the Meeting, conditional upon approval of the Arrangement, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit to approve a resolution approving the Global Plan, the full text of which resolution is included in Schedule “E” hereto under the heading Global Plan Resolution.

Access

The Hushamu Property can be reached along logging roads from Port Hardy. Hushamu is about 12 km by logging road from Holberg Inlet. Port Hardy is about 6 or 7 hours traveling time north from Nanaimo via the Island Highway. Port Hardy can also be reached via commercial airline from Vancouver.

Physiography, Climate, Local Resources and Infrastructure

The Hushamu Property is characterized by multiple low, northwesterly to westerly trending hills and ridges bounded by narrow valleys with steep slopes. Elevations range from sea level to 695 masl with ridge tops on the property commonly about 300 m above valley floors.

The Hushamu Property was actively logged in the early 1990's. Forest cover consists of mature stands of fir, hemlock, spruce and cedar, areas of dense second growth and open clear-cut areas. The ridge tops are open with widely scattered stunted evergreens. Low areas along creeks are covered by thick bush.

Outcrop exposure is abundant in areas of steep relief and along ridge tops. Thick humus on the forested slopes and residual glacial gravels on the valley floors restrict geologic mapping in these areas.

The Hushamu Property receives little snowfall in winter and can be effectively explored for 10 months each year. The climate is cool and wet, with windstorms in late fall. There are typically hot, dry spells during the summer when exploration work may be curtailed because of forest fire hazard.

The Hushamu Property is situated about 29 km from the reclaimed BHP Island Copper Mine. This mine produced 345 million tonnes of ore averaging 0.41% Cu, 0.017% Mo, 0.19 g Au/t and 1.4 g Ag/t from 1971 to 1994.

History

Utah Construction and Mining Company (“Utah”) discovered a large, porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold deposit at the eastern end of Rupert Inlet between January 1966 and May 1969. This deposit was developed into the Island Copper Mine, with production beginning in October 1971. The mine produced 345 million metric tonnes of ore with average head grades of 0.41 % copper, 0.017 % molybdenum, 0.19 gm/tonne gold and 1.4 gm/tonne silver by December 1994.

Utah staked mineral claims covering most of the area between the eastern end of Rupert Inlet and the western end of Holberg Inlet during the late 1960's. Utah staked the Expo claims, which cover the Hushamu deposit, in 1966. The Expo property was geologically mapped between 1967 and 1975; geochemical soil sampling, geophysical surveying and diamond drilling resulted in the discovery of the “Hushamu Zone”. The style of copper mineralization at the Hushamu Zone was similar to that at the Island Copper orebody.

Induced polarization geophysical surveying during 1982 indicated moderately anomalous chargeabilities across a broad area at Hushamu. Four diamond drill holes totalling 480.5 m were drilled at the Hushamu Zone in 1982.

Geology

The deposit is hosted by andesitic volcanics and volcaniclastics intruded by a series of porphyritic dykes and stocks of diorite and quartz-diorite composition.

Report on the Property

A Resource Estimate of Hushamu Copper-Gold Deposit dated December 31, 2002 (the “Report”) was prepared by G.H. Giroux, P.Eng., MASc. of Giroux Consultants Ltd. of Vancouver, BC and David J. Pawliuk, P.Geo. of Nanoose Geoservices, of Nanoose Bay, BC. The Report describes the data analysis and interpolation technique used to produce a geologic block model for the Hushamu porphyry copper-gold deposit. The following disclosure is from the summary contained in the Report. A full copy of the Report can be obtained on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, or at the offices of Lumco at Suite 1550, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC during normal business hours.

The assay data was subdivided on the basis of geology into five rock types: siliceous pyrophyllite breccia, siliceous breccia, altered andesite-basalt, intrusive and relatively unaltered andesite. Histograms and probability plots of the

L-4


distribution of copper and gold show that the metals are distributed differently within each of the five rock units. Each rock unit was therefore independently evaluated.

The study is based on the results from 114 diamond drill holes completed between 1980 - 1993. Composites 20 feet in length were formed from drill hole data and honoured geologic boundaries. For example, andesite composites only contained drill hole data coded as andesite. Simple statistical studies also show that copper and gold distributions for composited values are different for each of the five rock types. As a result copper and gold values within each of the five rock types were modelled and estimated independently.

A study of copper-gold correlation showed very poor agreement in the area of economic cut-offs. Samples with copper grades between 0.1% to 0.3%, for example, can have gold grades ranging from 0.001 to 0.02 oz/ton. A geologic assumption that copper-gold correlation was different above and below 1100 ft. elevation was tested and not substantiated with the available data.

Semi-variograms for each variable were produced for each of five rock types. All of the rock types showed isotropic spherical models with the exception of altered andesites and basalts. For copper within the andesite unit a geometric anisotropy was indicated with a maximum horizontal range of 600 ft. in a N 45o W direction and a minimum horizontal range of 150 ft. at N 45o E. The range of maximum continuity in the vertical plane was 300 ft. plunging N 45o E at 60o. A similar pattern was obtained for gold with ranges 700 ft. and 85 ft. in the horizontal plane and 300 ft. plunging 60o N 45o W.

A geologic block model was produced to control the interpolation process. A total of 503,580 blocks, each 100 x 100 x 40 ft. in dimension, were coded with geologic information.

Ordinary kriging was used to interpolate a grade into each geologic block. A total of 46,515 blocks were estimated. Results for the resource at several copper cut-offs are shown below:

The Casino Property is located in the north-westerly trending Dawson Range mountains, about 300 km northwest of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in a prolific megallogenic belt of the Dawson Range Mountains that escaped Pleistocene continental glaciation. The Casino Property is remote, having no all season road access. The region has at least two other extensively developed exploration properties: the Williams Creek Copper Oxide Project and the Minto Project.

The following is a description of the Casino Property. This description is taken from a report on the Casino Property dated January 2003 prepared by C.M. Rebagliati P. Eng. of Rebagliati Geological Consulting Ltd. of Vancouver, BC, Canada, and Ross Banner P.Eng. of RH Banner Ltd. of North Vancouver, BC. Canada.

Porphyry copper mineralization was first recognized at Casino in 1967. From 1967-1990 various companies drilled 57 core holes (12,294 metres) and 33 reverse circulation holes (5,188 metres). In 1991 Archer, Cathro acquired the property and completed a 21-hole HQ diamond-drilling program. In 1992 Pacific Sentinel Gold Corp. acquired the property from Archer Cathro and commenced a major exploration program. From 1992 until 1995 work included surface soil sampling, trenching investigations, 236 HQ and NQ diamond drill holes totalling 73,084 metres, comprehensive metallurgical investigations, environmental studies and socio economic activities culminating in a project scoping study. The scoping study envisioned a large-scale open pit mine, conventional flotation concentrator that would produce a copper-gold concentrate for sale to Pacific Rim smelters.

The exploration completed to date has identified the following for Measured and Indicated Resources, as defined by National Instrument 43-101:

Calculation of Copper equivalent was based on the following formula:

Cu EQ% = (Cu%) + (Aug/t x 11.25/17.64) + (Mo % 99.21/17.64) using metal prices of US$.80 a pound for copper, US$350 per ounce for gold and US$4.50 a pound for molybdenum.

The Casino Property is without known ore reserves and any exploration undertaken by the Company in the future will be exploratory in nature.

REDSTONE PROPERTY, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

In September 2002 Regalito through CRS acquired a 100% interest from Redstone Resources Inc. (“Redstone”) of Vancouver, BC, in five mining leases known as the Redstone Property located in the Northwest Territories. In consideration for the Redstone Property, Redstone was paid the sum of US$500,000. In addition, Redstone was granted a Net Smelter Return royalty to be calculated monthly as follows:

NSR % Average Price of Copper(1)
3 If less than or equal to US$0.75 per pound
3.5 If greater than US$0.75 and less than or equal to US$1.00 per pound
4 If greater than US$1.00 per pound

(1) The average of the New York Commodities Exchange final daily spot Prices for Copper reported for the calendar month of production.

The Redstone Property consists of five mining leases (5,661.75 hectares) located in the Nahanni Mining District in the Northwest Territories, 290 kilometres south of Norman Wells, Northwest Territories, and 300 kilometres north of Watson Lake, Yukon Territory. The leases are more particularly described as follows:

Lease Number Expiry Date
2416 October 19, 2005
2417 October 19, 2005
2505 July 23, 2005
2506 July 23, 2005
2684 November 29, 2005

The following is description is taken from a report of the Redstone Property dated March 2003 prepared by A.W. Gourlay P.Geol., F.G.A.C. of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The Redstone copper deposit is located 290 kilometres south of Norman Wells in the Nahanni Mining District, Northwest Territories. The property comprises 5 Mining Leases totalling 5,661.75 hectares (13,990 acres) owned by Lumina Copper Corp. The copper occurrences, which are of the “red-bed copper” type, were discovered by regional prospecting during 1961. Subsequently, the property has undergone a number of exploration campaigns by the following companies: Redstone Mines Ltd., Cerro Mining Company of Canada Limited and Shell Canada Resources, Ltd. A total of 15,529 metres of diamond drilling in 56 holes has been completed to date on the property.

Exploration completed to date has identified the following Inferred Mineral Resource as defined by National Instrument 43-101:

Class
Cut-off

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

Following the Arrangement, Lumco will be authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The holders of Lumco Common Shares will be entitled to receive notice of, and to one vote per share at, every meeting of shareholders of Lumco, to receive such dividends as the board of directors declares, and to share equally in the assets of Lumco remaining upon the liquidation of Lumco after the creditors of Lumco have been satisfied.

RISK FACTORS

The risk factors contained in Schedule “M” to the Management Proxy Circular should be considered carefully. These risk factors could materially and adversely affect Lumco’s future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to Lumco.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The directors of Lumco approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the “Lumco Plan”), subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. The directors are of the view that it is in the best interests of Lumco to implement the Lumco Plan, which will enable the directors to grant options to directors, officers, employees and other service providers as a means of rewarding positive performance and providing incentive to effectively manage the affairs of Lumco.

In addition, the directors of Lumco wish to seek “disinterested shareholder approval” (such that no insider or proposed insider (or their associates) will be entitled to vote on such resolutions) to include a provision for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Lumco (the “Lumco Bonus Shares”) in each calendar year to those directors, officers, employees and consultants who are deemed to have provided extraordinary contributions to the advancement of Lumco. Any such issuance would be based on performance reviews.

The Lumco Plan is in all material aspects identical to the Lumina New Plan. The following information is intended as a brief description of the Lumco Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Lumco Plan which is available for review by any Shareholder up until the day preceding the Meeting at Lumco’s office at Suite 1550 - 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia:

(a)

all options will be non-assignable and non-transferable.

     
(b)

a maximum of 10% of the issued shares of Lumco, from time to time inclusive of the Bonus Shares, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options.

     
(c)

the exercise price of any options granted under the Lumco Plan will be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, but shall not be less than the weighted average market price of the 5 trading days prior to the date the option is granted.

     
(d)

the number of shares which may be reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to Insiders under the Lumco Plan, together with all of Lumco’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Lumco on a non-diluted basis. The number of option shares and Bonus Shares which may be issuable under the Lumco Plan, together with all of Lumco’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, within a one-year period:

     
(i)

to Insiders in aggregate, shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding issue; and

(ii)

to any one optionee who is an Insider and any Associates of such Insider, shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding issue.

L-11



(e)

subject to prior shareholder approval, the Lumco Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to any one individual during a one year period to 5% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

   
(f)

the Lumco Plan limits the number of options granted together with the number of Bonus Shares issued to a consultant or an employee performing investor relations activities during a one year period to 2% of the issued and outstanding shares capital.

   
(g)

the Lumco Plan limits the exercise period of any option grant to 10 years from the date of grant, or such lesser period as determined by the directors of Lumco.

   
(h)

upon expiry of an option, or in the event an option is otherwise terminated for any reason, without having been exercised in full, the number of shares in respect of the expired or terminated option will again be available for the purposes of the Lumco Plan.

   
(i)

if the option holder ceases to be a director of Lumco or ceases to be employed by Lumco (other then by reason of death), as the case may be, then the option granted will expire on no later than the 30th day following the date that the option holder ceases to be a director or ceases to be employed by Lumco, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Lumco Plan.

   
(j)

disinterested shareholder approval must be obtained for (i) any reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding option, if the option holder is an insider; and (ii) any grant of options to any one individual, within a 12 month period, exceeding 5% of Lumco’s issued shares.

   
(k)

for stock options granted to employees, consultants or management company employees, Lumco represents that the proposed optionee is a bona fide employee, consultant or management company employee, as the case may be.

   
(l)

options will be reclassified in the event of any consolidation, subdivision, conversion or exchange of Lumco’s common shares.

   
(m)

the Board of Directors may make certain amendments to the Lumco Plan or any option without shareholder approval. The directors have the authority to make changes such as: amendments of a “housekeeping” nature; a change to the vesting provisions of an option or the Lumco Plan; a change to the termination provisions of an option or the Lumco Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; and the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying options from the Lumco Plan reserve. Amendments which reduce the exercise price or extend the term of an option held by an insider or which increase the fixed maximum percentage of common shares issuable under the Lumco Plan will require shareholder approval. Any amendment to the Lumco Plan is also subject to the acceptance of the TSX.

The Lumco Plan will be administered by Lumco’s secretary or such other senior officer or employee as may be designated by the board of directors from time to time. Upon the approval of the Lumco Plan by the Shareholders, shareholder approval will not be required or sought on a case-by-case basis for the purpose of the granting of options to and the exercise of options by employees of Lumco or its affiliates regularly employed on a full-time or part-time basis, directors of Lumco and persons who perform services for Lumco on an ongoing basis or who have provided, or are expected to provide, services of value to Lumco.

At the Meeting, conditional upon approval of the Arrangement, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit to approve a resolution approving the Lumco Plan, the full text of which resolution is included in Schedule “F” hereto under the heading Lumco Plan Resolution.

AUDITORS, REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT

Lumco’s auditors are Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Accountants, of Suite 2800 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N3.

The registrar and transfer agent for Lumco is Pacific Corporate Trust Company, 10th floor, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B8.

SCHEDULE “M”
(to the Management Proxy Circular of Lumina Copper Corp. dated April 1, 2005)

RISK FACTORS

In evaluating the Arrangement Lumina Shareholders should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in this management Circular, the following risk factors which apply to Lumina and will apply to Regalito, Global, Norco and Lumco as appropriate after the Effective Date.

(1)      The mineral properties of Lumina are in the exploration stage only and consequently exploration of Lumina’s mineral properties may not result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineralization.

The property interests owned by Lumina or in which it has an option to earn an interest are in the exploration stages only, are without known bodies of commercial mineralization, and have no ongoing mining operations. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Exploration of Lumina’s mineral exploration may not result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineralization.

(2)      Lumina has no significant source of operating cash flow and failure to generate revenues in the future could cause Lumina to go out of business.

As none of Lumina’s mineral properties currently have ore reserves, Lumina has no revenues from operations. Lumina has limited financial resources. Lumina’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon Lumina’s ability to:

  • locate a profitable mineral property;
  • generate revenues; and
  • reduce exploration costs.

Additional funds raised by Lumina through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities will cause Lumina’s current shareholders to experience dilution. Such securities may grant rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of Lumina’s common shareholders.

Lumina does not have any contractual restrictions on its ability to incur debt and, accordingly, Lumina could incur significant amounts of indebtedness to finance its operations. Any such indebtedness could contain covenants, which would restrict Lumina’s operations.

(3)      Government expropriation or regulation may prevent or restrict mining of any of Lumina‘s mineral deposits.

Even if Lumina’s mineral properties are proven to host economic reserves of copper or other precious or non-precious metals, factors such as governmental expropriation or regulation may prevent or restrict mining of any such deposits. Exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by government policies and regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of Lumina and may adversely affect its business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

(4)      Seven of Lumina’s mineral properties are in foreign countries and as such that portion of Company’s business may be exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties.

Seven of Lumina’s eleven mineral properties are located in Argentina, Peru or Chile. As a portion of Lumina’s business is carried on in a number of foreign countries it is exposed to various levels of political, economic and other


risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, terrorism, hostage taking, military repression, expropriation, changing tax laws, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation and labour unrest. The status of Peru, Argentina and Chile as developing countries may make it more difficult for Lumina to obtain any required exploration financing for its Peruvian, Argentinean and Chilean projects.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Peru, Argentina and Chile may adversely affect Lumina’s operations in these countries. Operations may be effected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to restrictions on expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legalisation, land use and land claims of local people.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on Lumina’s operations.

(5)      The mineral exploitation industry is intensely competitive in all its phases and Lumina competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities.

The mineral exploitation industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. Lumina competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. In addition, there is no assurance that even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, a ready market will exist for their sale. Factors beyond the control of Lumina may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies), interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in Lumina not receiving an adequate return on invested capital or losing its invested capital. As Lumina is in the exploration stage, the above factors have had no material impact on operations or income.

(6)      Substantial expenditures are required to be made by Lumina to establish ore reserves and Lumina may not either discover minerals in sufficient quantities or grade or may not have the necessary required funds.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, Lumina may not discover minerals in sufficient quantities or grades to justify commercial operation and the funds required for development may not be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves and mineral deposits can also be affected by environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties and unusual or unexpected geological formations. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.

(7)      Lumina does not presently have insurance covering any of its mineral properties and as a consequence could incur considerable costs.

Mineral exploration involves risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which Lumina has a direct or indirect interest may be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration of precious and non-precious metals, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property, and possible environmental damage. Lumina does not presently have insurance covering any of its mining properties and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance.

M-2


(8)      Lumina’s mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and as such title to some of Lumina’s mineral properties may be affected.

Although Lumina has sought and received such representations as it has been able to achieve from vendors in connection with the acquisition of or options to acquire an interest in its mining properties and has conducted its own investigation of legal title to each such property, the mining properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.

(9)      All phases of Lumina’s operations in Canada are subject to environmental regulations which may cause Lumina to invoke more stringent standards.

All phases of Lumina’s operations in Canada are subject to environmental regulations. Environmental legislation in Canada is evolving in a manner which may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Legislation and regulations implemented by the Ministry of Energy and Mines directly affect the mining industry in the Province of British Columbia, where Lumina’s Hushamu and Apple Bay Properties are located. Legislation and regulations implemented by the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development directly affects the mining industry in the Northwest Territories, where Lumina’s Redstone Property is located. Legislation and regulations implemented by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources affects the mining industry in the Yukon Territory where Lumina’s Casino Property is located.

Although compliance with such laws is not presently a significant factor in Lumina’s operations, compliance with future changes in environmental regulation, if any, may adversely affect Lumina’s operations.

(10)      The price of copper, base and precious metals has fluctuated widely in recent years and may adversely affect the economic viability of any of Lumina’s mineral properties.

Lumina’s revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the mining and sale of copper and other precious and non-precious metals. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond Lumina’s control including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of copper, base and precious metals and therefore the economic viability of any of Lumina’s mining properties cannot be accurately predicted but may adversely affect Lumina’s operation and its ability to raise capital.

(11)      Certain of Lumina's directors are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties and accordingly conflicts of interest may arise.

Certain of Lumina's directors are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. Such a conflict poses the risk that Lumina may enter into a transaction on terms which place Lumina in a worse position than if no conflict existed.

Anthony Floyd, President of Lumina, is also the president, a principal and a director of Inca Pacific Resources Inc. (“Inca”). Inca is a junior mining company engaged in the exploration of copper in Peru. As a condition of employment with Lumina, Mr. Floyd required that the possible competing interests of Lumina and Inca be resolved as between them in order to address inevitable conflicts or perceived conflicts. Lumina and Inca agreed Inca shall be given the first right to acquire all grassroots copper exploration opportunities in the country of Peru of which Lumina or its executives become aware. As Lumina is not currently planning to undertake exploration of grassroots copper properties, this may be of no impact to Lumina's business practices. Inca has agreed that Lumina shall be given first right to acquire advanced stage copper properties with defined resources of which Inca or its executives become aware in the country of Peru. Inca and Lumina have agreed to review and renew this commitment annually.

M-3


(12)      Impact of Government Regulations on Lumina’s Business

Some of the projects in which Lumina has an interest are located in Chile, Argentina and Peru. Mineral exploration and mining activities in Chile, Argentina and Peru may be affected in varying degrees by political instability and government regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of Lumina and may adversely affect its business. Lumina does not maintain and does not intend to purchase political risk insurance. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriations of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. The status of Chile, Argentina and Peru as developing countries may make it more difficult to obtain any required exploration financing for projects. The effect of all of these factors cannot be accurately predicted. All of the Chilean, Argentinean and Peruvian economies have experienced recessions in recent years and there can be no assurance that their economies will recover from such recessions.

(13)      There are risks relating to an uncertain or unpredictable political environment in Argentina, Chile and Peru which may affect the Company’s operations in that country

Some of the Company’s mineral properties are located in Argentina, Chile and Peru. There are risks relating to an uncertain or unpredictable political environment in Argentina and Peru. In the short term, significant macroeconomic instability in the region is expected to negatively impact on the business environment and may lead to longer term negative changes in the national approach taken to ownership by foreign companies of natural resources. Argentina recently suffered severe economic difficulties including significant currency devaluation.

In response to the political and economic instability in Argentina, in January 2002 the Argentinean government announced the abandonment of the one-to-one peg of the Argentina peso to the US dollar. During the economic crisis Argentina defaulted on foreign debt repayments and, from November 2002 to January 2003 Argentina defaulted on the repayment on a number of official loans to multinational organizations. In January 2003, the International Monetary Fund agreed to reschedule certain debt owned by Argentina and approved a short term credit line to repay debts to multinational organizations that could not be postponed.

There is the risk of political violence and increased social tension in both Argentina and Peru as a result of the economic crisis in Argentina and because both countries have experienced increased civil unrest, crime and labour unrest. Roadblocks by members of the local communities, unemployed people and unions can occur on most national and provincial routes without notice. Civil disruptions may become more frequent if the economic situation in Argentina and Peru continues to deteriorate.

(14)      Terrorism

Peru has been the subject of terrorism by the Sendero Luminoso, a Maoist group intent on creating a socialist government, and the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (the “MRTA”). In recent years neither group has been active. In 1997, the Sendero Luminoso was implicated in a car-bombing. In 1996-1997, 17 people were killed when the MRTA attacked the Japanese embassy in Peru. Lumina may not be able to find suitable labor for its Peruvian projects, may have difficulty in obtaining financing for its Peruvian projects and may not be able to continue its activities if the terrorism resumes.

(15)      Foreign Subsidiaries

Lumina conducts operations through foreign (Cayman Islands, Bahamian, Argentinean, Peruvian and Chilean) subsidiaries, joint ventures and divisions, and substantially all of its assets are held in such entities. Accordingly, any limitation on the transfer of cash or other assets between the parent corporation and such entities, or among such entities, could restrict Lumina’s ability to fund its operations efficiently. Any such limitations, or the perception that such limitations may exist now or in the future, could have an adverse impact on the Issuer’s valuation and stock price

(16)      Acquisition Strategy

As part of Lumina’s business strategy, it will continue to seek new mining and development opportunities in the mining industry. In pursuit of such opportunities, Lumina may fail to select appropriate acquisition candidates or

M-4


negotiate acceptable arrangements, including arrangements to finance acquisitions or integrate the acquired businesses and their personnel into Lumina. Lumina cannot assure that it can complete any acquisition or business arrangement that it pursues, or is pursuing, on favourable terms, or that any acquisitions or business arrangements completed will ultimately benefit Lumina’s business.

(17)      Certain mineral right holdings of the Company are currently the subject of litigation

Two of the Company’s mineral right holdings are the subject of ongoing litigation being the San Jose claims at the San Jorge Property and the El Molino claims at the Galeno Property. The Company does not consider the claims in dispute to be material to the development of the respective properties but an unfavourable ruling could limit the expansion of the known mineral resource. The Company believes it will be successful in defending both cases however the Company cannot guarantee the results of either case.

(18)      Foreign Subsidiaries

The Company conducts operations through foreign (Cayman Islands, Bahamian, Argentinean, Peruvian and Chilean) subsidiaries, joint ventures and divisions, and substantially all of its assets are held in such entities. Accordingly, any limitation on the transfer of cash or other assets between the parent corporation and such entities, or among such entities, could restrict the Company’s ability to fund its operations efficiently. Any such limitations, or the perception that such limitations may exist now or in the future, could have an adverse impact on the Issuer’s valuation and stock price.

(19)      Tax consequences based on valuations obtained by Lumina

The anticipated tax consequences of the proposed transactions to both Lumina and its shareholders are based on estimates of the fair market value of Lumina’s assets which were obtained by Lumina from an independent third party valuator. The valuations obtained from the valuator are not binding on the Canada Revenue Agency and if the Canada Revenue Agency disagrees with these valuations, the tax consequences to both Lumina and its shareholders may differ from those set out herein.

(20)      Potential adverse tax consequences to annuitants of RRSP’s and RRIF’s and to DPSP’s and RESP’s which acquire Global Common Shares

As Global may delay the listing of its Common Shares acquired under the Arrangement the Global Common Shares may not be a qualified investment for a registered retirement savings plan (a “RRSP”), a registered retirement income fund (a “RRIF”), a deferred profit sharing plan (a “DPSP”) or a registered education savings plan (a “RESP”) at the time of acquisition. As a result, there will be adverse tax consequences to annuitants of RRSP’s and RRIF’s, and to DPSP’s and RESP’s as a consequence of acquiring Global Common Shares. In the event Lumco and/or Norco does not obtain a listing on either the TSX or the TSX-V the Common Shares of the company not listing its shares may not be a qualified investment for a RRSP, RRIF, DPSP or a RESP and adverse tax consequences will arise.

(21)      Dissenting Shareholders

If Lumina receives Notice of Dissent from Shareholders holding greater than 1% of the outstanding Lumina Common Shares management of Lumina may at their option not implement the Plan of Arrangement.

(22)      Failure to obtain Court, Shareholder, TSX and/or AMEX approval to the Plan of Arrangement

The Plan of Arrangement is subject to the approval of the Shareholders, TSX, AMEX and the Supreme Court of the Province of British Columbia. There is no assurance that the Shareholders, TSX, AMEX and the Supreme Court of the Province of British Columbia will approve the Plan of Arrangement. If Lumina does not receive approval from all parties Lumina will not proceed with the Plan of Arrangement.

(23)      The Plan of Arrangement may not produce the anticipated benefits

Notwithstanding that Lumina completes the Plan of Arrangement the reasons for the Plan of Arrangement and the anticipated benefits may not materialize.

(24)      As Lumina is a Canadian company it may be difficult for U.S. shareholders of Lumina to effect service on Lumina or to realize on judgements obtained against Lumina in the United States

Lumina is a Canadian corporation. All of its directors and all but one of its officers are residents of Canada and a significant part of its assets are, or will be, located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders resident in the United States to effect service within the United States upon Lumina, directors, officers or experts who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of any of Lumina, directors or officers under the United States federal securities laws. If a judgment is obtained in the U.S. courts based on civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against Lumina or its directors or officers, it will be difficult to enforce the judgment in the Canadian courts against Lumina and any of Lumina’s non-U.S. resident executive officers or directors. Accordingly, United States shareholders may be forced to bring actions against Lumina and its respective directors and officers under Canadian law and in Canadian courts in order to enforce any claims that they may have against Lumina or its directors and officers. Nevertheless, it may be difficult for United States shareholders to bring an original action in the Canadian courts to enforce liabilities based on the U.S. federal securities laws against Lumina and any of Lumina’s non-U.S. resident executive officers or directors.

the Option shall not have been validly exercised; and

     
  (b)

the Option shall no longer be exercisable unless the Board determines otherwise.

4.2            General Rule. Subject to section 4.3 of this Plan, an Option may be exercised to purchase any number of Shares up to the number of Unissued Option Shares at any time after the Grant Date up to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the Expiry Date.

Notwithstanding subsections 4.3(a) and 4.3(c) of this Plan, the Board reserves the right to amend the terms of an Option granted to any Optionee, or, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who falls under the definition of Service Provider set out in subsection 2.17(c) of this Plan, the Optionee’s employer, if such party resigns or is terminated from employment or engagement with the Company and any of its subsidiaries or such other circumstances as the Board sees fit. The Board shall be entitled, but in no way obligated, to amend the number of Option Shares which an Optionee may purchase under an Option, the Expiry Date of an Optionee’s Option and the Option Price.

4.6            Amendment of Options of holders by the Board. Notwithstanding section 4.5 of this Plan, the Board will not amend the terms of any option held by an insider without first receiving the requisite shareholder approval.

4.7            Accelerated Vesting and Termination. The Company may, during the term of any Option, give 30 days notice in writing to all of the Optionees that all Options outstanding under the Plan that have not vested as at the time of the notice are immediately deemed vested, and all Options outstanding under the Plan that have not been exercised shall cease and terminate and be of no further force and effect unless the Optionees exercise such Options before their termination on the 30th day after delivery of the notice.

5.              ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION PRICE AND NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES

5.1            Share Reorganization. Whenever the Company issues Shares to all or substantially all holders of Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, or subdivides all outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or combines or consolidates all outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares (each of such events being herein called a “Share Reorganization”) then effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or other distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or consolidation, for each Option:

O-4



  (a)

the Option Price will be adjusted to a price per Share which is the product of:

       
  (i)

the Option Price in effect immediately before that effective date or record date; and

       
  (ii)

a fraction the numerator of which is the total number of Shares outstanding on that effective date or record date before giving effect to the Share Reorganization, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares that are or would be outstanding immediately after such effective date or record date after giving effect to the Share Reorganization; and

       
  (b)

the number of Unissued Option Shares will be adjusted by multiplying (i) the number of Unissued Option Shares immediately before such effective date or record date by (ii) a fraction which is the reciprocal of the fraction described in subsection (a)(ii).

5.2            Special Distribution. Subject to the prior approval of the Exchanges, whenever the Company issues by way of a dividend or otherwise distributes to all or substantially all holders of Shares:

  (a)

shares of the Company, other than the Shares;

     
  (b)

evidences of indebtedness;

     
  (c)

any cash or other assets, excluding cash dividends (other than cash dividends which the board of directors of the Company has determined to be outside the normal course); or

     
  (d)

rights, options or warrants,

then to the extent that such dividend or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), and effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution, for each Option the Option Price will be reduced, and the number of Unissued Option Shares will be correspondingly increased, by such amount, if any, as is determined by the Board in its sole and unfettered discretion to be appropriate in order to properly reflect any diminution in value of the Shares as a result of such Special Distribution.

5.3            Corporate Organization. Whenever there is:

  (a)

a reclassification of outstanding Shares, a change of Shares into other shares or securities, or any other capital reorganization of the Company, other than as described in sections 5.1 or 5.2 of this Plan;

     
  (b)

a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another corporation resulting in a reclassification of outstanding Shares into other shares or securities or a change of Shares into other shares or securities; or

     
  (c)

a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company’s undertaking and assets become the property of another corporation;

(any such event being herein called a “Corporate Reorganization”) the Optionee will have an option to purchase (at the times, for the consideration, and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Plan) and will accept on the exercise of such option, in lieu of the Unissued Option Shares which he would otherwise have been entitled to purchase, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property that he would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the holder of all Unissued Option Shares.

5.4            No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Options and accordingly, if as a result of a Share Reorganization or Corporate Reorganization, an Optionee would become entitled to a fractional Share, such Optionee shall have the right to purchase only the next lowest whole number of Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with the fractional interest so disregarded. Additionally,

O-5


no lots of Shares in an amount less than 500 Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Option unless such amount of Shares represents the balance left to be exercised under the Option.

6.              BONUS SHARES

6.1            Allotment and Issuance. The Board shall have the power and authority in its sole and absolute discretion, to allot, issue and deliver in such amounts as the Board in its sole and absolute discretion deems fit, as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Company, up to a total of 200,000 common shares (“Bonus Shares”), in each calendar year, to those directors, officers and Service Providers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries whom the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems to have provided extraordinary contributions to the advancement of the Company.

6.2            Consideration. The Bonus shares will be issued in consideration of the fair value of the extraordinary contribution of the Company by the recipient as determined by the Board, in its discretion, and shall be issued at a deemed price determined by the Board at the time of issuance of such Bonus Shares, but such price shall not be less than the Market Price on the trading day immediately preceding the day on which the Bonus Shares are issued. No Bonus Shares shall be issued at a time when it is unlawful to fix the price for such Bonus Shares.

6.3            Board Discretion. Nothing in this Plan shall require the issue or distribution of any Bonus Shares in any given year or the distribution to any particular person of Bonus Shares at any time. The receipt by a recipient in any year of Bonus Shares shall not create any entitlement to a receipt of Bonus Shares by such recipient in any other year. No person shall have any right to receive a distribution Bonus Shares in a year, whether or not other persons receive Bonus Shares in such other year. The pool of Bonus Shares available for any given year, if not distributed, shall cease to be available at the end of such year and shall not accumulate or be available for any succeeding year. The Bonus Shares available for distribution in any year will be included for the purposes of calculating the amounts set out in section 3.2 of this Plan.
