Vancouver, British Columbia - July 29, 2011 - Lumina Copper Corp. ("Lumina Copper") (TSX-V: LCC) and Lumina Royalty Corp. ("Lumina Royalty") announce that they have today filed amended and restated carve-out consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the three month period ended December 31, 2010 (the "Amended Carve-Out Statements") in respect of the royalty and other non-core assets (the "Lumina Royalty Business") formerly owned by Lumina Copper which were transferred to Lumina Royalty prior to the plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") involving Lumina Copper, the shareholders of Lumina Copper and Lumina Royalty pursuant to which Lumina Royalty became a reporting issuer. The original carve-out consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the three month period ended December 31, 2010 for the Lumina Royalty Business were filed as Schedule "G" to Lumina Copper's information circular for the special meeting of the shareholders of Lumina Copper held on June 7, 2011 for the approval of the Plan of Arrangement.

During the preparation of Lumina Royalty's consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011, it was determined that certain historical costs incurred in October 2008 by Lumina Copper relating to the acquisition of the net smelter royalty on Lumina Copper's Taca Taca property (the "Taca Taca Royalty") had not been separately identified under the continuity of interests basis of accounting. As a result, the Lumina Royalty Business should have recognized the Taca Taca Royalty asset at a carrying value of $849,744 (with an offsetting amount included in the contribution from Lumina Copper) instead of $Nil.

Accordingly, the Amended Carve-Out Statements have been revised as set out below:
