Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT)(PINKSHEETS:CCOXF)(BVL:DNT) ("the Company")
advises that a meeting of the members of the Comunidad Campesina San Juan De
Kanaris ("the Community") was held on Sunday September 30th, and that a vote was
held concerning mining in the region. According to media reports in Peru, the
Community voted against mining in San Juan de Kanaris.


The Company's Peruvian counsel has advised that this meeting was not convened
according to the established rules of rural community law in Peru, and as a
result the vote is not legally binding. Meetings regarding land access for
mineral exploration and mining must follow a clearly defined legal protocol. We
have been advised that the meeting on September 30th did not follow this
protocol. 


The community general assembly held on July 8th, 2012, where the Community voted
in favour of granting surface access to the Company for resumption of
exploration and feasibility drilling at Canariaco (see Candente Copper News
Release 037 dated July 9th, 2012), was convened according to Peruvian law and
has been previously confirmed as legally binding by the Ministry of Energy and
Mines of Peru ("the Ministry").


The Company plans to mobilize for drilling as soon as the remaining formal
documentation is received from the Ministry. The Company will continue to
communicate with the various members of the community, as we do on a continual
basis, as we move forward with the Canariaco Norte copper project.

Feasibility stage Canariaco Norte Copper Project located in northern Peru's
prolific mining district. The Canariaco Norte deposit contains a Measured and
Indicated resource of 752.4 million tonnes grading 0.49% copper equivalent(i),
and an Inferred Resource of 157.7 million tonnes at 0.44% copper equivalent(i).


Sean Waller, P.Eng., President and Joanne C. Freeze, P.Geo., CEO, are the
Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the projects
discussed above. They have reviewed and approved the contents of this release.
(i)The 'Measured and Indicated Resource' listed above consists of Measured
Resources of 338.1Mt at 0.48% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, and 2.0/t Ag (0.52% Cu Eq.), plus
Indicated Resources of 414.3Mt at 0.43% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au, and 1.8 g/t Ag (o.46%
Cu Eq.). All resources quoted in this release are based on a 0.30% copper
cut-off grade and 229 drill holes completed to March 2008. (i)Copper equivalent
grade including gold and silver, metal recoveries (gold 55%; silver 50%) and
smelter returns (copper 96.5%: gold 93%; silver 90%) applied. Copper grade
equivalent calculation: Cu Eq% =(Cu % + ((Au grade x Au price x Au recovery x Au
smelter return%)+(Ag grade x Ag price x Ag recovery x Ag smelter
return%))/(22.0462 x Cu price x 31.0135 g/t x Cu recovery x Cu smelter return%).
The metal prices used are: copper US$2.50/lb, gold US$1,035/oz and silver
US$17.25/oz.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS

We advise U.S. investors that this news release uses terms that are not
recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
including "mineral resources", "measured resources", "indicated resources" and
"inferred resources". The estimation of measured and indicated resources
involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than
the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not
to assume that mineral resources in these categories will be converted to
reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty
as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other
categories of resources. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that
estimates of inferred mineral resources exist, are economically mineable, or
will be upgraded into measured or indicated mineral resources. U.S. investors
are cautioned not to assume that mineral resources in any of these categories
will be converted into reserves.


On behalf of the Board of Candente Copper Corp.
