“We are very pleased to have both Fortescue and Lind supporting Candente Copper and the Cañariaco Project to unlock value for shareholders. Upon completion of the private placement, we will be well-financed to complete an updated preliminary economic assessment, which will better define opportunities with potential to lower initial capital expenditures, operational costs and enhance our environmental, social and governance practices as recently identified by Ausenco in their Desk Top Study. The financing will also allow us to advance our permitting for drilling and our community work.”
