Non-Brokered Financing Announcement

Vancouver, British Columbia, March 2nd, 2015.  Candente Copper Corp.
(TSX:DNT, BVL:DNT, US:CCOXF) ("Candente Copper" and/or the "Company" )
is pleased to announce, subject to regulatory approval, that it has
agreed to carry out a non-brokered private placement (the "Private
Placement") to raise gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$500,000.

The placement will consist of approximately 5,555,555 units (the
"Units") at a price of $0.09 for gross proceeds of approximately
$500,000 dollars.  Each Unit will consist of one common share of stock
and one half share purchase warrant.  Each full warrant will be
exercisable for one additional share of the Company's common stock for
two years at a conversion price of $0.15.  Shares will be subject to a
mandatory 4 month hold period.

The Private Placement is being offered to both accredited investors and
existing shareholders of Candente Copper who, as of the close of
business on February 25th, 2015, held common shares of the Company (and
who continue to hold common shares of the Company at the time of
closing) pursuant to the prospectus exemption set out in British
Columbia Instrument 45-534 and in similar instruments in other
provinces of Canada. If aggregate subscriptions for Shares under
Private Placement exceed the maximum number of Shares to be sold,
Candente Copper may increase the size of the Private Placement or
subscriptions will otherwise be accepted on a "first-come,
first-served" basis.

Joanne Freeze, CEO and Director of the Company, and other directors are
to subscribe for a portion of the Private Placement, which in total
will be for less than 25% of Candente Copper's market capitalization.
The Company is therefore relying upon exemptions from the valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements contained in sections 5.5(a)
and 5.7(1)(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for general
corporate purposes.
