VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Might 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT, BVL:DNT) (“Candente Copper”, “Firm”) is happy to announce that it has entered into an possibility settlement to amass as much as 100% curiosity within the Canyon Creek copper mission in northwestern British Columbia (“B.C.”), Canada.
B.C. hosts 13 districts of copper-rich deposits within the manufacturing and improvement stage inside two main zones (Quesnel and Coastal/Stikine volcanic-plutonic arc – terranes). Probably the most distinguished deposits are the Crimson Chris, Galore Creek, Schaft Creek, Kemess North, Mount Milligan within the north; and Highland Valley and Copper Mountain within the south. Many of those deposits produce each copper and gold.
The Canyon Creek property is situated within the northwestern finish of the Quesnelia Zone (Terrane) roughly 160 kilometres (“km”) from the Crimson Chris Mine, 15 km from a essential freeway and 60 km from the city of Dease Lake.
Canyon Creek contains 24 sq. kilometres masking a discrete bullseye copper-molybdenum-silver anomaly delineated by regional stream sediment survey. The property additionally covers giant areas with anomalous ranges of molybdenum (“Mo”) and copper (“Cu”) in soils extending over 5 km by 2 km and is open. Mo ranges from 10 to 270 elements per million (“ppm”) and Cu ranges from 40 to 780 ppm. Please see: https://www.candentecopper.com/projects/canyon-creek-bc-canada/ for maps.
Prospecting has recognized two separate zones of Cu and Mo mineralization, in outcrops of quartz veining and stockwork zones containing chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) and molybdenite (molybdenum sulphide). These two areas cowl 800 metres (“m”) by 300m and 400m by 400m, respectively. Mineralization, discovered on floor up to now, grades as much as 1.56% Cu; as much as 0.1% Mo and as much as 17.6 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver (“Ag”).
The mineralization, soil anomalies and geophysical anomalies seem like related to an altered quartz monzonite porphyry which intrudes rocks of the Quesnel Terrane. Massive granodiorite to quartz monzonite plutons are affiliated with the Quesnel Terrane of B.C. Total, quartz-monzonite plutons kind the biggest world class deposits of Cu-Mo-Au and Cu-Mo. Examples are Edernet with 1.78 billion tonnes of 0.62% Cu and 0.025% Mo, Chuquicamata, 6.45 billion tonnes of 0.55% Cu and Bingham Canyon, 3.24 billion tonnes of 0.88% Cu, 0.02% Mo and 0.5 g/t Au.
The property can be located adjoining to a significant NNW putting fault (the Thibert Fault) and near a 70 km lengthy E-W putting lineament.
Earlier Exploration
Over $1 million has been spent at Canyon Creek by earlier explorers courting again so far as 1971 when Dolmage Campbell/UMEX performed IP and floor Magnetics and apparently drilled 4 holes, though this has not been verified. Since then, Cassiar Asbestos Corp. (1971), Noranda (1978), Paget Assets (2008) and Sirius Assets (2012) have performed stream sediment and soil sampling; geological mapping, prospecting and rock chip sampling; airborne Fugro MAG (1317 line km); ZTEM (200 line km). There is no such thing as a proof that any of those teams performed any drilling.
Phrases of the Settlement
The Firm has entered right into a legally binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with property proprietor Chris Baldys. The LOI gives for the next:
Purchase 100% Curiosity (topic to Royalty*) by:
- Issuing a complete of 1M shares over 5 years (by November 30, 2025)
- Funding exploration actions to maintain the claims in good standing till December 2027 (roughly Cdn$45,000 per yr)
Of the above the next is a Agency Dedication:
- Problem 50,000 shares inside 14 days of signing and receiving TSX approval
- Problem a further 50,000 shares by November 30, 2021
- Funding exploration actions totalling a minimal of $42,000 by December 31, 2021
*Royalty:
The Vendor shall be granted a royalty equal to 1.5% of internet smelter returns. The Firm has the precise to buyback the primary 0.5% for $500,000 and the second 0.5% for a further $1.5M.
The proprietor advises that there are not any legacy points, no floor rights exercise and no different points that might restrict orderly exploration work (Discover of Work) purposes.

Please see https://www.candentecopper.com/investors/presentations for particulars from earlier useful resource and engineering research which delineated 9B lbs copper, 2M oz gold and 54M oz silver in: Measured and Indicated Assets of 752.4 million tonnes grading 0.45% copper, 0.07 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 1.9 g/t silver (0.52% Cu equal) containing 7.533 B lb Cu, 1.67 M oz Au and 45.24 M oz Ag and Inferred Assets of 157.7 million tonnes grading 0.44% copper, 0.06 g/t gold and 1.8 g/t silver containing 1.434 B lb Cu, 0.3M oz Au and eight.932 M oz Ag.
Particulars from the Cañariaco Norte Copper Undertaking Pre-Feasibility Research Progress Report accessible at https://www.candentecopper.com/site/assets/files/5389/canariaco-pfs.pdf estimate NPVs and IRRs of $1.06B and 17.5% at $2.50 Cu and $1.56B and 21.5% at $2.90 Cu. The Incentive Value for Cañariaco Norte is within the lowest quartile of high 84 copper tasks worldwide named by Goldman Sachs. Money Prices are additionally in lowest quartile of the copper business.
