    Candente and Orex Identify Twelve Exploration Targets on Las Sorpresas Gold Property, Peru


    Monday April 11, 2:47 pm ET


    DNT.TO


    VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 2005--Candente Resource Corp and Orex Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE News) are pleased to announce that twelve gold and gold-copper exploration targets have been identified within the Las Sorpresas property. Las Sorpresas borders the southern boundary of Yanacocha, the world's largest open-pit, heap leach gold operation with in excess of 35 million ounces of gold. The targets are part of a trend of domal-circular features, structural controls and clay alteration zones, which are also associated with some of Yanacocha's gold deposits including Cerro Quillish which lies just northwest of the Las Sorpresas property.

    Domal-circular features often represent intrusions which acted as heat sources for gold mineralizing systems and the controlling structures are believed to have acted as some of the pathways for the gold bearing solutions which deposited gold at Yanacocha. On Las Sorpresas two major NW-NNW trending faults cross the central part of the property and extend northward into the central Yanacocha main mine area and across the NE flank of the Cerro Quillish gold deposit. A cluster of domal-circular features occurs along this structure. The satellite imagery also located a number of alunite, pyrophyllite and kaolinite, alteration anomalies on the Las Sorpresas property, which are similar to those occurring with gold mineralization in the Yanacocha deposits.


    Evidence of gold mineralization on Las Sorpresas, found through previous work by Candente, includes anomalous levels of gold in stream sediments, hydrothermal alteration zones and key (geochemical) trace elements in soils and rocks. All of these indicators are similar to those which have assisted in gold discoveries at Yanacocha.


    The structural and alteration interpretation was conducted on a satellite photo image covering both the Las Sorpresas property and the Yanachocha mine area. Murphy Geological Services of Cork, Ireland completed the study on an Aster high resolution satellite image which encompassed an area 48 km east-west by 64 km north-south.


    During late 2004, Candente and Orex carried out a geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) survey, which evaluated depths of up to 200 meters only. Further IP surveys are planned to have a deeper penetration in order to locate buried gold and gold-copper sulphide deposits similar to those which underlie the oxide gold deposits currently being mined at Yanacocha.


    The Las Sorpresas property is situated in the Andean mountains of Northern Peru and is road accessible one hour from the City of Cajamarca. Exploration on the property is operated by Candente's Peruvian exploration team employed by subsidiary Cia. Minera Oro Candente S.A. ("Oro Candente") and lead by Ing. Fredy Huanqui, Director and Vice President Exploration for Latin America. Michael Casselman, M.Sc., P.Geo., General Manager Exploration and Director of Candente and Joanne C. Freeze, P.Geo., President, are the qualified persons (QP) as defined by NI 43-101 for the project discussed above and they have verified the information, have read and approved the contents of this release.


    Further exploration is planned to commence in May, following the rainy season, and will include additional geophysical (IP) surveys with deeper penetration abilities. The IP survey will cover the major NW-NNW trending faults and clusters of domal and circular features extending southward from Yanacocha's main mine area and Cerro Quilish gold deposit, as well as areas with alunite and pyrophyllite alteration anomalies.


    Orex has the right to earn a 51% interest in the Las Sorpresas property by incurring exploration expenditures of US$2.5 million by December 31, 2007 on the property, while Candente retains the right to operate all exploration during this period. In addition to the exploration expenditure commitments, Candente has received US$15,000 in cash and will receive staged share issuances totalling 250,000 shares for the property by January 31st, 2008.


    Candente is a diversified copper and gold exploration company. Our focus is to increase shareholder value through discovery. Candente has an advanced exploration stage copper project, Canariaco, and several other gold and gold-copper projects in Peru and Newfoundland. Candente's directors have individual track records in both the discovery and development of multi-million ounce gold and silver, and multi-billion pound copper deposits. Candente subscribes to principles which ensure that its exploration and development activities are beneficial to the local communities.


    Orex is a junior mineral exploration company, comprised of highly qualified mining professionals with a current focus on the exploration of prospective gold properties in northern Peru. Management is actively engaged in the acquisition of new properties in South America.

    Gold Doesn't Depend on the Dollar. The Dollar Depends on Gold!


    What everyone is going to be shocked to find out is that gold and the dollar will rise together as the Kondratieff winter gets underway. That is when the real gold bull market will begin and it will begin because confidence in debt money will begin to mount. And a symptom of declining confidence in "debt money" will be widening credit spreads. Bob Hoye does quite a lot of work analyzing this matter and he suggests that another symptom then will also be a steepening of the yield curve as investors flee out of the long end of the yield curve into short term lenders in order to gain liquidity. We will watch that carefully. We note that during the 1930's, early in that decade of deflation, treasury interest rates shot up. Then they slowly declined until about 1940. A rising interest rate could be in fact the straw that breaks the back of inflation which would then cause the establishment to lose control. :rolleyes:

    Den Crayfish kriege ich auch hier, trotzdem muss man die Einsteiger Stadt mal kennenlernen. Da fangen alle an wenn das geld oder der job nicht reicht um gleich an die ostkueste z.B Sydney zu gehen.
    Broome ist ok and der Westkueste.


    Bin gespannt was du meinst dazu ?

    COMMENTS:


    1. Now here is a piece of news with VERY significant implications for gold, silver, oil as well as other markets: I quote from the FT of Friday, April 8:


    " The US Senate will vote no later than July on legislation that would slap across the board tariffs on imports of Chinese goods unless China agrees to revalue its currency ".


    OK, IT'S SHOWDOWN TIME and there are two and a half months for the Chinese to act. I frankly don't see any other viable option but for the Chinese to revalue BY AT LEAST 15% TO 20% against the US dollar ( anything less than that would be seen as trivial as many economists/analysts have come to the conclusion that the yuan is 40% undervalued ) as a first step measure. How precisely the Chinese decide to revalue is an open question ( all at once or in a step ladder fashion and against a basket of currencies including the US dollar or just the dollar ) but revalue they must, in my opinion, and I think they will do this before the debates begin in the US Senate since once that starts the results may be far more damaging for them then to act preemptively. I believe investors/traders will agree with my thinking and act NOW on the assumption that revaluation is in the cards in the near term. Here are some of the potential ramifications as I see them:


    i. Anything denominated in US dollars in the world markets becomes immediately less costly to the Chinese by the amount of the revaluation and that means GOLD, SILVER, AND OIL among other commodities. This would be happening just as the Chinese banks are opening up the cash/bar gold market to the Chinese public in an unprecedented fashion. This is so important that I will quote directly from an article in the Shanghai Daily News of April 4, 2005:


    " The China Construction Bank will lead the other Chinese banks in entering the gold trade. The bank has announced a plan to start its own bullion sale next month in eight of its branches nationwide, including Shanghai, the Youth Daily reported. Previously, banks only helped gold manufacturers to sell their products. CCB has branded the new product as " Long Ding Jin " in Chinese and is having Shanghai Gold Exchange member companies produce the bullion, the same report said. THE BULLION WILL COME IN A SERIES OF SIZES, SUCH AS 50 GRAMS AND 100 GRAMS. TO ENSURE A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY FOR INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS, CCB WILL SELL THE BULLION OVER THE COUNTER RATHER THAN RECEIVING BOOKINGS ( I hope they set up a branch here soon since I would love to buy over the counter too ). Seeking to create new profit sources, and MOTIVATED BY THE DOMESTIC ZEAL FOR THE NEWLY OPENED GOLD TRADE , China's banks are eager to start the individual gold trade, analysts said. As well, THE OTHER THREE OF THE COUNTRY'S ' BIG FOUR ' STATE-OWNED BANKS HAVE OBTAINED CENTRAL BANK APPROVAL FOR GOLD SALES AND ARE PREPARING TO UNVEIL THEIR OWN GOLD BUSINESS PLANS. While China Agricultural Bank is still considering introducing its own branded gold business, the Bank of China has said it has a plan to start gold sales this year. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China will create a gold trade product in cooperation with the Shanghai Gold Exchange. "


    In conclusion, the fastest growing economy on the planet with no material slowdown in sight, whose population has revered gold for millenia, is going to revalue its currency sooner than later making gold that much less expensive and, at the same time, allowing the purchase of gold over the counter in small bar sizes and coins accessible to the general public over a wide distribution area. This has to be one of the most bullish set of fundamentals to enter the gold market in a very long time. As Bill Murphy would surely comment, who cares about expensive Italian gold jewelry design when you have this mega tsunami demand coming from the East. How do you say " Hello " in Chinese ?


    It is now Monday morning 10:08 ET and I started to write this Saturday evening but have been interrupted from completing this essay due to circumstances beyond my control and I want to get it to you immediately in view of its importance and urgency. I will finish in detail my analysis of gold, silver, and the US stock market this evening and will post it then. Many have asked me to post more often and I plan to do so twice weekly on a minimal cost subscription basis and if you are interested please email me at royalpalmtrading@adelphia.net and you will be notified shortly.

    Cream Minerals Begins Drilling Program on Cassiera Property in Sierra Leone


    Monday April 11, 1:23 pm ET



    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - April 11, 2005) - Cream Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CMA - News; OTCBB:CRMXF - News; "Cream") announces that drilling has started on the Hima Exclusive Prospecting Licence for diamonds located on the Sewa River in Sierra Leone. Two Banka drills are operating to sample high terrace gravels identified as diamondiferous in earlier work by the National Diamond Mining Company of Sierra Leone and by the Geological Survey of Sierra Leone. Eight holes out of a planned 150 holes have been completed to date with an average depth of 5 meters each. Two gravel layers have been intersected in the Banka holes completed and these gravels will become targets for a bulk sampling programme where continuity can be demonstrated over a large enough area to allow an industrial scale operation. The two gravel horizons confirm the description of the gravel distribution described by the Geological Survey of Sierra Leone.

    The water level of the Sewa River has continued to drop since the start of the programme. Several large sand bars have been exposed on the downstream side of the large riffles formed by two strong diabase dykes that cross the river from bank to bank, a distance of approximately 500 meters (1500 feet). Sampling is planned with a detailed Banka Drill programme for possible higher grades of heavy minerals, including diamonds, in these natural traps.



    Sierra Leone is currently enjoying an unprecedented mineral exploration boom for diamonds, gold, rutile, bauxite and platinum group elements. Participants include BHP Billiton in joint venture with Mano River Resources, Sierra Leone Diamond Company Ltd. ("SLDC") (which has just completed a reported U.S.$37.3 million flotation on the London Alternative Investment Market - AIM), and the Sierra Rutile Company. The rutile operations of Sierra Rutile were officially opened by the President of Sierra Leone last week on 31st March. This is considered to be a further indication of business confidence in the continuing stability of the country. Part of the financing to complete the reconstruction of the Sierra Rutile operations is reported to have included a 40 million Euro loan from the E.E.C.


    Planning is almost complete for ship charter and engagement of geophysical crews to carry out a detailed marine magnetometry survey supervised by Casierra Diamond Corporation over targets on the marine licence where 20 diamonds were recovered from marine alluvial deposits. This area was tested in 1995 and 1996 for a cost of approximately US $4 million. That work included surveys with sub-bottom profiling with boomer and sparker arrays, bathymetry, vertical gradient magnetometry and sampling. The line spacing was relatively coarse at 500 to 250 meter line spacing and more detailed coverage is planned to allow a close definition of targets for sampling later in 2005.

    Nell Sloane's daily comments


    Monday Apr 11



    GOLD: With the Dollar breaking out to the downside, it is not surprising that gold has come alive again. However, in order to manage a true breakout, June gold will have to manage a rise above $430.5 and manage to hold above critical support of $428.4. Apparently the gold market is capable of discounting the potential negatives off the IMF gold sale effort and that is mostly because of the consistent declines in the Dollar. It would seem like the US is against the sale but that issue certainly has the ability to limit the gold market, especially in its current marginally bullish setup. The weekly COT report with Options showed the Large Trader to be holding a net long position of 118,016 contracts, which is up 3,247 from the previous report. The Small Speculator position was down 3,675 contracts for a total net long position of 31,301 contracts. Therefore, the net spec and fund long in gold is roughly 149,000 contracts, which is only a moderately overbought condition. With US Trade numbers due out on Tuesday, we suspect that even more Dollar declines are ahead and that could give June gold the chance to rise above the late March consolidation high of $431.4 but with significant overhead resistance coming off the bottom of the early March chart formation around $432.5, the gold market could have a difficult task forging big gains this week. In short, the market has an upward bias but will need some significant from the fundamental front in order to entice broad based buying.


    SILVER: The silver market would appear to be poised to rise toward the critical pivot point of $7.25 but like gold, silver also has significant overhead resistance off the bottom of the February and March consolidation pattern. Fortunately silver wasn't overly spec long, as the April 5th Commitment of Traders with Options report showed the Large Trader to be holding a net long position of 35,300 contracts, which is up 1,621 from the previous report. The Small Speculator position was down 1,293 contracts for a total net long position of 23,650 contracts. Therefore, the Spec and fund long position was only 47,000 contracts long and that is an average long for the recent trade. Critical pivot point support comes in this week at $7.112 and thin resistance is seen at $7.225.


    METALS TECHNICAL OUTLOOK 4/11/2005


    SILVER (MAY) 04/11/2005: The market now above the 60-day moving average suggests the longer-term trend has turned up. Momentum studies are rising from mid-range, which could accelerate a move higher if resistance levels are penetrated. The market now above the 18-day moving average suggests the longer-term trend has turned up. The daily closing price reversal up on the daily chart is somewhat positive. With the close over the 1st swing resistance number, the market is in a moderately positive position. The near-term upside target is at 728.0. The next area of resistance is around 724.0 and 728.0, while 1st support hits today at 709.1 and below there at 698.1.


    GOLD (APR) 04/11/2005: Rising from oversold levels, daily momentum studies would support higher prices, especially on a close above resistance. The major trend has turned down with the cross over back below the 18-day moving average. The upside closing price reversal on the daily chart is somewhat bullish. It is a slightly negative indicator that the close was under the swing pivot. The next upside objective is 428.9. The next area of resistance is around 428.1 and 428.9, while 1st support hits today at 425.7 and below there at 424.0.
