in Northern Peru. Jaime completed both a Bachelor of Mining Engineering from the
Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru in 1994 and the degree of Master of
Business Administration (MBA) at the Australian Graduate School of Management at
Sydney, Australia in 2004. Jaime will report to Tom Rinaldi VP Operations.
"Candente's entrepreneurial culture offers mining professionals the chance of
exerting their ingenuity whilst complying with industry's best practices. It is
an exciting time for the company and the people of the Lambayeque region as we
get closer to the ramp-up stage of the Canariaco Project," Jaime Cortez

Candente is focused on the advancement of the Canariaco copper project in
Lambayeque department, Peru. A new resource calculation is underway by SRK
Consulting (Canada) Inc. ("SRK") and expected to be complete 2Q 2008. This new
resource will include a higher grade Starter zone for a quicker payback period.
SRK and Samuel Engineering Inc. ("Samuel") are also preparing an updated
Preliminary Assessment and Economic Evaluation with updated cash flow analyses.
The updated cash flow analyses is expected to be completed in 3Q 2008 and will
be based on the Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource estimated by SRK
during 2Q 2008.


The Company, SRK and Samuel are evaluating various scalable development options
to take advantage of the higher grade Starter zone. This may allow a quick pay
back and lower capital requirements prior to ramping up production.


Other engineering studies to evaluate processing rates, processing design,
infrastructure configurations and waste dump locations are advancing with
Samuel, SRK and Tetra Tech Inc. under the guidance of VP Operations, Tom
Rinaldi. The Canariaco feasibility has been expanded from the original design
scope of the 104 million tonne Starter Pit contemplated in March 2007 to include
the Measured and Indicated resource estimate underway by SRK. The feasibility
study is expected to be completed for 1Q 2009.
