CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS

We advise U.S. investors of 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.


On behalf of the Board of Candente Copper Corp.
