About Candente Copper

Candente Copper's flagship project is the 100% owned feasibility stage Canariaco
Norte copper project located in northern Peru's prolific mining district. The
Canariaco Norte deposit contains 622 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated
resource grading 0.51% copper equivalent, and 128 million tonnes of Inferred
Resource at 0.46% copper equivalent.


A Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed on the Canariaco Norte copper
project in late 2008, which shows robust economics at both current and consensus
long term copper prices. Since this report was published, a number of factors
have been identified which have the potential to significantly improve the
project's economics.


Candente Copper has now resumed feasibility studies on the Canariaco Norte
copper project. A Pre-Feasibility Study is slated for completion in Q4 2010,
with the full Feasibility Study expected 6 months thereafter. Exploration on the
Canariaco Sur and Quebrada Verde copper projects, as well as a number of
Candente Copper's exploration targets throughout Peru is also planned for 2010.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS

We advise U.S. investors that this news release uses terms that are not
recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
including "mineral resources", "measured resources", "indicated resources" and
"inferred resources". The estimation of measured and indicated resources
involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than
the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not
to assume that mineral resources in these categories will be converted to
reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty
as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other
categories of resources. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that
estimates of inferred mineral resources exist, are economically mineable, or
will be upgraded into measured or indicated mineral resources. U.S. investors
are cautioned not to assume that mineral resources in any of these categories
will be converted into reserves.
