Private Placement

and/or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a it intends to complete a non-brokered private

placement (the “Private Placement”) of up to 4,000,000 common shares (“Shares”) at a price of $0.05 per

Share for gross proceeds to the Company of up to $200,000.

Joanne Freeze, President and CEO, a control person of Candente Gold Corp., will subscribe for a minimum

of 50% of the Private Placement. In connection with the Private Placement, Ms. Freeze plans to complete

a cross distribution, whereby she will sell up to 2,000,000 Shares from her holdings in pre-arranged trades

(the “Cross”) over the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “TSXV”). Ms. Freeze will use 100%

of the proceeds from the Cross to subscribe for Shares in the Private Placement. The price at which the

Cross is completed will be determined in the context of the market.

The Private Placement and the Cross remain subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, including the

approval of the TSXV.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to advance the recently launched

growth strategy to build a cash flowing business platform and gain access to properties with near surface

exploration potential while advancing drill targets on the El Oro project, its flagship asset, and general

working capital purposes. The Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four

month’s hold period from the date of closing.

The issuance of Shares to Ms. Freeze pursuant to the Private Placement is considered to be a related party

transaction subject to TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101. Ms. Freeze intends to rely on

exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under

sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Private

Placement by Ms. Freeze will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of Candente Gold Corp’s market

capitalization. The Private Placement has been approved by the board of directors of the Company.

About Candente Gold

Candente Gold has launched a comprehensive growth strategy to build a cash flowing business platform

and gain access to properties with near surface exploration potential while maintaining El Oro as its flagship

asset and an integral part of the overall growth strategy. The acquisition of the SDA Plant, the El Dorado

historic mines and the Cocula Project signify important initial steps.

The financial benefits from Western Mexico operations and the addition of specialized personnel will

translate across platforms to strengthen the Company’s efforts to explore and potentially mine areas

demonstrated to contain mineralization of value. The Company is currently evaluating other properties

that are complimentary to the SDA plant, El Dorado and the Cocula Project.

NEWS RELEASE

El Oro is a district scale gold project encompassing a well-known prolific high-grade gold dominant gold-

silver epithermal vein system in Mexico. The project covers 20 veins with past production and more than

57 veins in total, from which approximately 6.4 million ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were

reported to have been produced from just two of these veins (Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin No.

37, Mining of the El Oro and Tlapujahua Districts. 1920, T. Flores*)

Modern understanding of epithermal vein systems indicates that several of the El Oro district’s veins hold

excellent discovery potential, particularly below and adjacent to the historic workings of the San Rafael

Vein, which was mined to an average depth of only 200 metres.
