Clarification
The Company also advises that the Chairman's message to shareholders in the Company's recently filed 2012 Annual Report inadvertently referred to the Company having two projects with mineral reserves as well as a completed feasibility study for the Invicta Gold Project. As previously disclosed, the Company confirms that the Company's Crucero Gold Project and the Invicta Gold Project contain National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimates, but that none of the Company's projects currently have mineral reserves or a completed feasibility study, and accordingly the inadvertent references to reserves and a feasibility study should not be relied upon. The Company is filing concurrently with this release an amended and restated 2012 Annual Report that replaces the previously filed 2012 Annual Report.

About the Company
Lupaka Gold is a Peru-focused gold explorer with geographic diversification and balance through its interest in asset-based resource projects spread across three regions of Peru.

Lupaka Gold's flagship project is the Crucero Gold Project, its 5,500 hectare gold property located in southern Peru. The Company, based in Vancouver, Canada, is project operator and holds a 100% indirect interest in the Crucero Gold Project. Since commencing active exploration in April 2010, the Company has reported annual NI 43-101 compliant gold resource estimate increases for the Crucero Gold Project in the first quarter of 2011 and 2012 (see the Company's most recent technical report on www.sedar.com).

As a result of the Company's recent acquisition of Andean American Gold Corp., Lupaka Gold's assets now include the 100% owned Invicta Gold Project (central Peru), which has near-term underground gold and poly-metallic development potential, and a strategic 17% stake in Southern Legacy Minerals Inc., owner of the AntaKori copper-gold deposit located in northern Peru.
