Cadan Regains Control of the Batoto Gold Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/29/12 -- CADAN RESOURCES CORPORATION (TSX VENTURE: CXD)(FRANKFURT: AOMZ25) ("Cadan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's Option agreement over the "Batoto" Project(1) with Mining Group Limited (ASX: MGL) has lapsed and the Company will not enter into a similar agreement in the short term.
Cadan's President and CEO, Robert Butchart, stated:
"The Company believes the Batoto Project is one of the Philippines' best undeveloped gold projects and we are now in a position of strength to develop this project and return full value of this asset to shareholders.
"The original option agreement to offer over the Batoto Gold Project was driven by difficult market conditions, and we are excited to have the same market conditions return this project to Cadan's control.
"The Batoto Gold Project offers excellent discovery opportunities for gold and gold-copper that will complement the T'Boli gold mining operation. Six large areas of stockwork gold mineralization have been identified to date. Three of the areas are 'walk up' drill targets. The Company intends to capitalize on our existing projects to build an enduring mining house."
