Zahena Continues Option of Arikepay and Makes USD$200,000 Payment

22.03.2016  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BC  --(Marketwired - March 22, 2016) - Candente Copper Corp. (TSX: DNT)  (LMA: DNT), ("Candente Copper" and/or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Compañia Minera Zahena S.A.C. (Zahena) has made an option payment of USD$200,000 for the Arikepay copper-gold porphyry project ("Arikepay"), located in southern Peru.

Zahena has the right to earn up to 100% interest in the Arikepay property from Candente Copper by completing the following terms:

Under the First Option, Zahena has the right to earn up to a 75% interest by making payments to Candente Copper that total USD$4 million ("M") and exploration expenditures that total USD$5 M  by March 13, 2019.  USD$50,000 was received by Cobriza Metals, (a subsidiary of the Company) upon signing the Agreement (on November 28, 2013).  Payments of $750,000, $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 are due on March 13 of 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

In addition to the requirements above, Zahena also must complete a minimum of 3,000 metres of drilling or pay Candente $100.00 per metre for any metres not drilled.  The minimum drilling requirement was to be completed by the First Anniversary, March 13, 2016, however the Company has agreed to grant a one year extension for that requirement.  Zahena advised the Company that the commencement of drilling has been delayed due to permitting and authorization delays.  Drilling is expected to begin by mid-2016.  

Upon completion of the First Option, Zahena would have the right to earn an additional 25% interest (for a total 100%) subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return ("NSR"), by completing a bankable feasibility study and by paying the Company USD$10M within 5 years of earning its initial 75% interest (the "Second Option").

Upon completing the Second Option, Zahena would retain the right to purchase 1% of the NSR for USD$5M at any time up to 60 days from the start of commercial production, leaving Candente with a 1% NSR.  A final payment of USD$5M would be required to be made to Candente within 60 days from the start of commercial production or within 4 years of the completion of the bankable feasibility study, whichever is completed first.
