Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT)(BVLAC:DNT)(WKN:GW4) is pleased to announce the
closing of its previously announced private placement of 12,938,011 Units
("Units") and 4,856,187 Special Warrants ("Special Warrants") for total proceeds
of C$6,227,969.


"We are very pleased to have funding in place to resume significant exploration
and development work on our copper projects in Peru," said Sean Waller, P. Eng.,
Candente Copper's President. "Since the release of our positive Preliminary
Economic Assessment report in 2008 we have identified a number of factors which
we believe will improve the economics of the Canariaco Norte copper project.
2010 will be a very exciting year for Candente Copper."


The Units and Special Warrants were sold for a price of C$0.35 each. 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 will be exercisable for a
period of 36 months from the date of closing to purchase one share at a price of
C$0.50 per share. Each Special Warrant will be exercisable for one Unit at no
additional cost to the holder providing shareholder approval for the exercise of
the Special Warrants is obtained at the company's annual general meeting,
scheduled for May 13, 2010, or at any adjournment of such meeting.


The C$1,699,665 in gross proceeds from the sale of the Special Warrants has been
deposited into escrow to be held in trust pending shareholder approval. On the
first business day following receipt of shareholder approval, each Special
Warrant will automatically be exercised to acquire one Unit. If shareholder
approval is not obtained, all of the funds held in escrow will be returned to
the subscribers. The Special Warrants, the shares and Warrants comprising the
Units, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, are all subject to
the same four-month hold period (ending July 10, 2010) applicable under Canadian
securities law.


In connection with this offering, Candente Copper has paid a 6% cash commission
and issued 649,895 broker/finder warrants ("Broker Warrants") and 239,224
special broker/finder warrants ("Special Broker Warrants") on all of the
brokered portions of the offering and on part of the non-brokered portion of the
offering. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable for a period of 36 months from
closing to purchase one share at a price of C$0.45 per share. Each of the
Special Broker Warrants will automatically be exercised to acquire one Broker
Warrant upon receipt of shareholder approval, and will expire if shareholder
approval is not obtained.


The net proceeds of this financing will be used for exploration and development
of Candente Copper's Peruvian copper projects and for general corporate
purposes.


On behalf of the Board of Candente Copper Corp.
