Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT)(PINKSHEETS:CCOXF)(LMA:DNT) ("Candente Copper"
and/or the "Company") is pleased to announce that on Friday, January 24, 2014 a
successful public workshop was carried out as part of the approval for a
modification of the current (Semidetailed) Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIAsd) for the Canariaco exploration project.


The public information workshop, organized by the Ministry of Energy and Mines
(MINEM) of Peru, at the request of Canariaco Copper Peru S.A., a subsidiary of
Candente Copper, proceeded with the participation of approximately 300 villagers
amid a climate of calm dialogue and order during its entirety. The event was
attended by residents of the area of   influence of the project ie. the upper,
middle and lower part of the community of San Juan de Canaris, Ferrenafe
Province, Department of Lambayeque. The workshop took place in the village of
Atunloma and attendants included several community authorities such as
lieutenant governors, magistrates of the peace, association leaders, presidents
of rondas and others. 


During the workshop, the villagers read a manifesto expressing their support for
the mining exploration project and also requesting additional resources from the
Central government and the advancement of infrastructure and development
projects which have been commited to by the government for the area.


The workshop was conducted in compliance with the provisions of the Laws of
Citizen Participation and is part of the exploration permitting process. It
provides the public the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of
environmental consultants, government and the Company on all environmental and
social aspects of the proposed exploration program. 


Candente has applied to MINEM for a modification to its current drilling permit
so that additional drilling on the new deposit at Canariaco Sur and a first
phase drill program on the Quebrada Verde target may be conducted.
