Candelaria Mining Announces Updated NI 43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimate For Caballo Blanco

Ramon Perez, CEO of Candelaria commented, “We are pleased to have these new drill holes incorporated into an updated resource estimate for the La Paila Zone. While the ounces in the resource are lower as compared to the previous 2012 report due to the introduction of a pit constraint, the overall in-pit resource did not change materially. The tighter drill hole spacing gives us more confidence in the deposit. We have also identified important drill targets going forward. As we advance the technical work on the project and perform additional drilling beyond the current pit constraint area, we expect to see an increase to the resource at La Paila. We are encouraged by the multiple drill ready targets located within the bigger Caballo Blanco project area.”
