Vancouver, B.C., February 5, 2013 – INCA ONE RESOURCES CORP. (IO:TSXv) –(“the Company” or “Inca One”) announces that as part of Peruvian President Huamala’s mandate for public investment , $68 million US dollars will be spent over the span of 2013-2015 on building and improving infrastructure in Northern Peru to rehabilitating roads from Chamaya –Jaen–San Ignacio–Rio Chinchipe near the Peruvian / Ecuador boarder. This is a major transformation of approx 125Km of poorly build gravel/dirt roads to widened paved roads, and great news for both local residents and foreign operating mining operation.
Currently four international mining companies operate out of Northern Peru: Rio Tinto (La Granja), Newmont (Yanacocha), Anglo American (Michiquillay) and Goldfields (La Cima). Inca One Resources’ Las Huaquillas Gold project will greatly benefit from large-scale investment and construction of modernized roads and power grid.

He is most popular among the wealthy, with 66 percent, and in the jungle, with 67 percent. According to the poll, The President gets his strongest marks for social programs on behalf of the poor.

About Inca One:
Inca One Resources Corp. (IO:TSXv) is focused on acquiring and advancing properties in Peru with an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Las Huaquillas Gold project.
In 1998, Sulliden Resources estimated a geological resource on Las Huaquillas of 6.57 million tons grading 2.09 g/t Au and 25.2 g/t Ag (equivalent to 443,000 ounces of gold and 5.3 million ounces of silver)*. The historical estimate used a cut-off of 1.5 g/t gold and remains open at depth and along its 2.2 Km strike.
*Note: The historic resource was calculated in 1998 and the Company has not completed the work necessary to have the historical estimate verified by a Qualified Person. The Company is not treating the estimate as a current NI 43-101 defined resource and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. The Project will require considerable future exploration which the Company intends to carry out in due course.
