Item 1. Security and Issuer
     This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on December 17, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on December 20, 2008 by China Minmetals Non-Ferrous Metals Co. Ltd., Jiangxi Copper Company Ltd. and Copper Bridge Acquisition Corp. (the “Statement”) relating to the common shares, without par value, of Northern Peru Copper Corp., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Statement, and unless amended or supplemented hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Fund or Other Consideration
     Item 3 of the Statement is amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph immediately after the last paragraph thereof:
     “On January 28, 2008, the Offeror mailed a notice of the Compulsory Acquisition (as defined in Item 4 below) to the remaining holders of the Common Shares. The notice provides that: (a) the Offeror, upon sending such notice and subject to (b) below, is entitled and bound to acquire all of the remaining Common Shares for the same price and on the same terms as the Common Shares that were acquired under the Offer; and (b) a remaining holder of Common Shares may, within two months from the date of such notice, apply to the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”) for an order setting the price and terms of payment for such holder’s remaining Common Shares, and any consequential orders or directions that the Court considers appropriate. The Reporting Persons currently anticipate that the funds required to purchase the remaining Common Shares will be approximately Cdn.$18,565,402 and that such funds will be provided from the above discussed sources.”
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs immediately following the last paragraph thereof:
     “On January 25, 2008, Minmetals and Jiangxi Copper, through the Offeror, took up and accepted for payment all of the Common Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn, totaling 31,761,682 Common Shares (representing approximately 95.9% of the Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis).
     With the take-up and acceptance for payment by the Offeror of Common Shares representing at least 90% of the Common Shares, other than Common Shares owned by the Offeror or its affiliates as of December 20, 2007, the Offeror is entitled to acquire the Common Shares not deposited under the Offer pursuant to the compulsory acquisition provisions of section 300 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) for the same price of Cdn.$13.75 per share and on the same terms as the Common Shares that were acquired under the Offer by mailing a formal notice to all remaining holders of Common Shares (the “Compulsory Acquisition”). On January 28, 2008, the Offeror mailed a notice of the Compulsory Acquisition


 

Page 6 of 10

to the remaining holders of the Common Shares. The notice provides that: (a) the Offeror, upon sending such notice and subject to (b) below, is entitled and bound to acquire all of the remaining Common Shares for the same price and on the same terms as the Common Shares acquired under the Offer; and (b) a remaining holder of Common Shares may, within two months from the date of such notice, apply to the Court for an order setting the price and terms of payment for such holder’s remaining Common Shares and any consequential orders or directions that the Court considers appropriate.
     Where the Court has not, on application made by a remaining holder of Common Shares, ordered otherwise, the Offeror must, no earlier than two months after the date of the notice of the Compulsory Acquisition or, if an application to the Court by a remaining holder of Common Shares is then pending, after that application has been disposed of, send a copy of the notice of the Compulsory Acquisition and transfer to the Issuer the cash consideration payable by the Offeror for the remaining Common Shares that the Offeror is entitled to acquire. On receiving such notice and cash consideration, the Issuer must register the Offeror as a shareholder of the Issuer with respect to all the remaining Common Shares. The Offeror intends to transfer the cash consideration for, and become registered as the holder of the remaining Common Shares on or about March 28, 2008.
     Upon completion of the Compulsory Acquisition, the Reporting Persons will issue, or cause the Offeror to issue, a press release announcing the completion of the Compulsory Acquisition. The Reporting Persons may cause the Issuer to take steps to cease being subject to the public reporting requirements under The Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the Common Shares after the consummation of the Compulsory Acquisition if the Reporting Persons determine that the Issuer may do so in accordance with the Exchange Act. The foregoing description of the Compulsory Acquisition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by full reference to the notice of the Compulsory Acquisition and accompanying transmittal filed as Exhibit 9 hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference.
     Following the take-up by the Offeror of approximately 95.9% of the Common Shares, all of the directors and officers of the Issuer resigned and were succeeded by nominees of Minmetals and Jiangxi Copper.”
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     Item 5(a) and (b) of the Statement are hereby deleted and replaced in their entirety with the following sentence”
     
     “(a) and (b)
  Minmetals, Jiangxi Copper and the Offeror beneficially own 31,761,682 Common Shares representing approximately 95.9% of the Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis.”
     Item 5(c) of the Statement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following sentence:
     
     “(c)
  Except for the purchase of Common Shares described in the fifth last paragraph of Item 4 and the mailing of the notice of the Compulsory Acquisition described in the second to fourth last paragraphs of Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any other Schedule I Person has effected

  any transactions in the Common Shares since the date of the most recent amendment to the Statement.”
Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, understandings or Relationships with respect to the Securities of the Company

     “On January 28, 2008, the Offeror mailed a notice of the Compulsory Acquisition to the remaining holders of the Common Shares. The notice indicates that: (a) the Offeror, upon sending such notice and subject to (b) below, is entitled and bound to acquire all of the remaining Common Shares for the same price and on the same terms as the Common Shares acquired under the Offer; and (b) a remaining holder of Common Shares may, within two months from the date of such notice, apply to the Court for an order setting the price and terms of payment for such holder’s remaining Common Shares and any consequential orders or directions that the Court considers appropriate.”
