The 41 holes released to date at Pena de Oro have only partially tested one of three mineralized structures identified within the target area. These results have increased the maximum vertical depth tested to 200 meters; the structure remains open at depth and along strike in both directions. Once additional permits are received (currently in process), an aggressive second phase of drilling will target the open strike length and depth extensions throughout the Pena de Oro area. (Please see Figure 1 below or www.caydenresources.com for a drill location map and Figure 2 / 3 for a cross-section)
Cayden is now drilling its initial exploration holes at the Angostura target. Once completed, the drill will move to the Zapote target.
The El Barqueno concessions contain multiple, strong, widespread mineralized systems, some with kilometers of strike length. In preparation for an expansive exploration drill program planned for this fall, CSAMT and gradient array geophysical programs are currently underway over the Azteca, Pena de Oro, Zapote and Angostura target areas.
President and CEO Ivan Bebek states: "Pena de Oro has delivered the highest gram-meter intercept to date, demonstrating what the mineralized systems at El Barqueno are capable of delivering. We have a lot more to explore in all of our targets and are looking forward to an exciting year of aggressive exploration in what we believe is becoming a major gold and copper discovery."

Qualified Person - David Hladky, P. Geo. is the Qualified Person with respect to NI 43-101 at Barqueño. All drill core from this release is drilled at PQ3 or HQ3 diameter and is sawed or split into equal halves on site. All samples are assayed using standard 30 gram fire assay with atomic absorption finish by Acme Labs in Vancouver, Ca. QA/QC programs using internal standard samples, field and lab duplicates, re-assays, and blanks indicate good accuracy and precision in a large majority of standards assayed. As the mapped mineralized corridors strike EW to ENE, the drill holes were designed to have azimuths perpendicular or as close to perpendicular to the strike as the permitted pads would allow. As this is the first drill program by Cayden at Peña de Oro, the dips of the main structure are not entirely known but are believed to dip steeply to moderately to the south based on mapping and historical work, and thus the intercepts are estimated to represent 60-90% of the true width. Intercepts were calculated assuming a bulk-mining scenario. No intercepts were reported that averaged less than 0.5 g/t Au and/or 0.2 % Cu and no intercepts have more than six consecutive meters of less than 0.2 g/t and/or 0.2% Cu, or begin or end with values less than 0.2 g/t and/or 0.2% Cu.
