"I am enthusiastic to be joining the Board of Directors of Candente Gold Corp. The El Oro - Tlapujahua Districts represent a rich and storied chapter of Mexico's mining history and I look forward to working with the Candente team in employing modern exploration principles to realize the undiscovered potential of this unfinished story" commented Mr. Melnyk.
On another matter, the Company announces that Mr. Paul H. Barry is retiring after a long and distinguished term as Chair and director of Candente Gold.

About Candente Gold
Candente Gold's flagship asset is El Oro, a district scale gold project encompassing a well-known prolific high grade gold dominant 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.
In addition to the hard rock potential, Candente Gold is investigating the potential to recover gold and silver from the Mexico Mine Tailings which contain an Inferred Resource* of 1,267,400 Tonnes grading 2.94 Au g/t, 75.12 Ag g/t containing 119,900 ounces of gold and 3,061,200 ounces of silver.
Candente Gold is dedicated to being a responsible Community partner.
