Cayden Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYD) ("Cayden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the sale by Cayden's Mexican subsidiary LC Mines, S.A. de C.V. ("LCM") of two blocks of the eastern portion (15%) of its Morelos Sur Concession "Morelos East Concession" to Desarrollos Mineros San Luis, S.A. de C.V. ("DMSL"), Goldcorp's subsidiary which owns and operates the adjacent Los Filos mine in Guerrero State, Mexico.
The sale represents a total of 2,492 hectares of Cayden's 17,076 hectare concession for a total cash consideration of $15,744,000 USD plus a royalty to Cayden, of which 50% of the cash will be paid on or before February 28, 2013 and the balance to be paid once the subdivided titles of the Morelos East Concession are registered in the name of DMSL.
