Candente Resource Corp. (TSX:DNT)(BVLAC:DNT)(WKN:GW4) ("Candente Resource") and
Candente Gold Corp. ("Candente Gold") advise that they have agreed to
temporarily delay the completion of the previously announced Arrangement and
Financing because of certain negotiations taking place, which could materially
affect Candente Gold.


Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Candente Resource has agreed to
transfer its portfolio of gold and silver properties in Peru to Candente Gold.
Candente Gold previously acquired the right to earn a 70% interest in the El Oro
gold-silver property in Mexico from Candente Resource and Canaco Resource Inc.
whom held the option, indirectly through Minera CCM S.A., from Luismin, S.A. de
C.V., a subsidiary of Goldcorp.


Shareholders of Candente Resource approved the Plan of Arrangement and the
Financing on July 10, 2009. The Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has granted
Candente Gold conditional approval to list its common shares on the TSX subject
to the completion of the Financing by Candente Gold for minimum gross proceeds
of Cdn$5.7 million.


As part of the Arrangement, Candente Resource has agreed to distribute to its
shareholders one common share of Candente Gold for every five common shares of
Candente Resource held on the day before the first day of trading for Candente
Gold (the "Ex-Distribution Date"). The actual day for the Ex-Distribution Date
will be announced in a News Release at least 4 days in advance of that date.


For complete details of the Plan of Arrangement and the Financing see Candente
Resource and Candente Gold's News Releases of July 30, 2009, June 16, 2009 and
