Zahena Completes Six Drill Holes at Arikepay

Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT)(LMA:DNT)(US:CCOXF) (“Candente Copper”, “Company”) is pleased to announce that Compañia Minera Zahena S.A.C. (“Zahena”) has advised the Company that, in February 2017, they completed six holes on the Company’s Arikepay project in southern Peru.
As quoted in the press release:

“While we were certainly hoping for better grades, results to date clearly demonstrate the large and robust nature of the porphyry system at depths greatly exceeding those from our own reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at Arikepay in 2012. A significant area of the system is still to be tested and the potential for higher grade intercepts remains. We look forward to the results from ongoing drilling,” commented Joanne Freeze, P.Geo., Candente Copper’s CEO.
