2007 News

Vancouver, British Columbia, March 13th, 2007. Candente Resource Corp. (DNT:TSX) ("Candente" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the following resolutions were passed by the shareholders at the Special General Meeting held on March 9, 2007:

  • an ordinary resolution to approve the Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement (the "Rights Plan") adopted on September 7th, 2006; and
  • a special resolution to continue the Company from the federal jurisdiction of Canada (CBCA) to the provincial jurisdiction of British Columbia (BCBCA).
The Rights Plan is similar to plans adopted by other Canadian companies and ratified by their shareholders and is designed to ensure the fair and equal treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for outstanding common shares of Candente. The Company is not aware of any specific or pending proposal to acquire control of the Company. The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent or deter take-over bids that offer fair treatment and value to shareholders, and is designed to encourage offers that represent fair value to all shareholders. For more information on the Rights Plan please see News Release 176 dated September 7th, 2006. The Rights Plan has been approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange. A copy of the Rights Plan will be posted on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) once it has been signed by the Company's transfer agent Pacific Corporate Trust Company.

The change of the Company's corporate jurisdiction to British Columbia (BCBCA) is to make day-to-day operations of the Company more expedient and to allow a larger number of non-Canadian residents to join the board. The BCBCA is a more modern and streamlined company law than the CBCA and provides greater flexibility and reduces the regulatory burden to companies by, for example, permitting directors to pass consent resolutions by e-mail and by implementing an electronic filing system.

Candente is a diversified exploration company with copper, gold, silver, and zinc projects in Peru and Mexico. Candente subscribes to principles, which ensure that its exploration and development activities are beneficial to the local communities.
