NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES.


Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT)(BVLAC:DNT)(WKN:GW4) (the "Company") is pleased
to announce that purchasers have subscribed for approximately C$6,000,000 of
units (the "Units") of the Company to be sold by way of private placement (the
"Offering"). This is an increase from the C$5,000,000 originally announced in
the Company's press releases of February 11 and 16, 2010. 


Due to the size of the Offering, the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange require
that the Company obtain shareholder approval for the total shares issuable under
the Offering that represent more than 25% of the number of the Company's
currently issued and outstanding shares.


As a result, each subscriber will receive no less than 78% of their allocation
by the sale of Units, with the remaining Units sold to each subscriber pursuant
to special warrants ("Special Warrants") which will be subject to approval by
the shareholders of the Company at its annual and general meeting planned for
May 14, 2010. 


Each Special Warrant will be convertible into one Unit, the terms of which are
the same as those of the original subscription Units. Each Unit consists of one
common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one share purchase
warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant is exercisable for a period of 36 months
from Closing at a price of $0.50 per share. The Special Warrants, the common
shares and Warrants comprising the Units, and the common shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, will all be subject to the same four-month hold period
under applicable Canadian securities laws. Closing is expected to be on or about
March 9, 2010 ("Closing").


The Offering is being made in all provinces of Canada, via private placement in
the U.S. in accordance with certain exemptions under the U.S. Securities Act,
and other jurisdictions as may be determined between the Company and the Agents,
and is subject to the approval of the appropriate regulatory authorities. The
securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This
press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS

We advise U.S. investors that this news release uses terms which 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.
