Cayden Resources Completes Final Payment for Morelos Sur Gold Property in Mexico and Provides Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Oct. 17, 2011) - Cayden Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CYD) ("Cayden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has made the final payment of $8.6 million USD (inclusive of value added taxes and interest) to Grupo Mexico, the former owner of the Morelos Sur property (the "Property"). With this payment, Cayden now holds an unencumbered 100% interest in the Property. The Property remains subject to an annual royalty equal to the greater of $200,000 USD or a sliding scale royalty (a maximum of 3.5% when the spot price of gold is greater than $600 per ounce).

Cayden is currently finalizing the contract for drilling at the Las Calles exploration target, with plans to begin drilling within two weeks. At the La Magnetita exploration target, stream sediment results indicate a 2 km wide, +50 ppb Au anomaly with many samples greater than 100 ppb Au in the heart of the existing magnetic anomaly. Cayden is currently completing a soil and rock sampling program to develop detailed drill targets in the La Magnetita area and expects to begin drilling in early Q1, 2012 (see La Magnetita target geochemistry map).

We believe that there is significant upside in the project and are very pleased with the continued progress and preliminary results at our La Magnetita target, one of the largest untested magnetic anomalies in the Guerrero Gold Belt."
