About Candente Copper

Candente Copper is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition,
exploration and development of mineral properties. The company is currently
focused on its 100% owned Canariaco project, which includes the Feasibility
stage Canariaco Norte deposit as well as the Canariaco Sur deposit and Quebrada
Verde prospect, located within the western Cordillera of the Peruvian Andes in
the Department of Lambayeque in Northern Peru.


At Canariaco Norte 7.5 billion pounds of copper have been delineated in a
Measured and Indicated(i) resource of 752.4 million tonnes grading 0.49% copper
equivalent(ii). An Inferred Resource of 157.7 million tonnes at 0.44% copper
equivalent has also been delineated in the Canariaco Norte deposit.


A highly successful Phase I drilling program was carried out in 2013 on the
Canariaco Sur deposit. Future drilling is planned for additional step-out
drilling at Canariaco Sur as well as first phase drilling on the Quebrada Verde
target. Drilling permits are in place for much of the drilling proposed for
Canariaco Sur and Candente Copper has applied to MINEM for a modification to its
current drilling permit so that additional drilling could be conducted on
potential extension areas to Canariaco Sur and on the Quebrada Verde target.


In addition, Candente Copper holds several other base metal exploration projects
in Peru. One of these, the Arikepay copper-gold porphyry, is being explored
under a joint venture agreement with Zahena S.A.C. who is funding up to USD$5
million (M) in exploration expenditures and USD$4M in payments within 4 years.


Sean Waller, P.Eng., President and Joanne C. Freeze, P.Geo., CEO, are the
Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the projects
discussed above. They have reviewed and approved the contents of this release.
(i)The 'Measured and Indicated Resource' listed above consists of Measured
Resources of 338.1Mt at 0.48% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, and 2.0/t Ag (0.52% Cu Eq.), plus
Indicated Resources of 414.3Mt at 0.43% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au, and 1.8 g/t Ag (o.46%
Cu Eq.). All resources quoted in this release are based on a 0.30% copper
cut-off grade and 229 drill holes completed to end of 2008. (ii)Copper
equivalent grade including gold and silver, metal recoveries (copper 90%, gold
55%; silver 50%) and smelter returns (copper 96.5%: gold 93%; silver 90%)
applied. Copper grade equivalent calculation: Cu Eq% =(Cu % + ((Au grade x Au
price x Au recovery x Au smelter return%)+(Ag grade x Ag price x Ag recovery x
Ag smelter return%))/(22.0462 x Cu price x 31.0135 g/t x Cu recovery x Cu
smelter return%). The metal prices used are: copper US$2.50/lb, gold US$1,035/oz
and silver US$17.25/oz.


CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This news release may contain forward-looking information including but not
limited to comments regarding the timing and content of upcoming work programs,
geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential mineral
recovery processes, etc. Forward-looking information addresses future events and
conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual

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.
