Cayden Resources Clarifies Technical Disclosure
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 1, 2013) - As a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC"), Cayden Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYD)(PINKSHEETS:CDKNF) ("Cayden" or the "Company") is issuing this news release to clarify technical disclosure relating to its Morelos Sur and El Barqueño mineral projects. The Company refers to the following clarifications and corrections made to the Company's website, corporate presentation and fact sheet (the "Website Materials"):
- The Website Materials previously included references to the economics of adjacent mineral properties, which is not permitted under NI 43-101 without including certain additional disclosure. Therefore similar economics cannot be inferred about Cayden's property without Cayden first completing an economic assessment on its own property. These references have been deleted.
- The Website Materials stated that Cayden's management had been responsible for discovery of a 5+ million ounce gold deposit. This was clarified to emphasize that this past success was in reference to management's involvement with another issuer and not Cayden or its projects. Cayden's current resources are described in the fourth bullet below.
- The Website Materials contained a link to the technical report for the Morelos Sur project filed on SEDAR on November 30, 2010 which should have linked to the amended and restated technical report filed on January 28, 2011.
- Disclosure in the Website Materials of the Morelos Sur resource did not include certain disclosures required under NI 43-101 and made reference to gross metal content. The references to the Morelos Sur resource has been replaced by the following disclosure, "The Morelos Sur project contains an NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource of 1.5 million tonnes at 1.66 g/t Au using a 0.4 g/t cut-off grade (representing approximately 89,000 ounces of Au)."
- Disclosure in the Website Materials included references to resources contained within adjacent, non-Cayden properties. The disclosure of these resources was non-compliant because it did not include the appropriate resource/reserve categories and was disclosed solely the form of metal content. This disclosure has been removed.
- Disclosure in the Website Materials about the Morelos Sur resource did not properly disclose the applicable resource categories as required by NI 43-101. The disclosure now clearly states the resource under its appropriate categories.
- Disclosure in the Website Materials made reference to a historic resource on the El Barqueño project without providing all the accompanying disclosure required by NI 43-101. The existing disclosure has now been augmented with disclosure from the Company's last AIF to state that historic resources (originally disclosed by Cayden as NI 43-101 non-compliant), related to undeveloped deposits, do not provide any increased probability that new discoveries will be made or that new discoveries can be economically developed. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate at El Barqueño as current mineral resources and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
- Disclosure in the Website Materials included a statement whereby the El Barqueño project was described as having the potential for a "multi-million ounce gold deposit" on a "district scale". These statements require additional disclosure, which clarify that the resource potential at El Barqueño is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. This potential has been determined by the Company's reconnaissance and surface work which has outlined a target area 1.5 km in length defined by mineralized trenches.
- The Website Materials do not consistently identify the Qualified Person for each of the Company's mineral properties and does not adequately disclose the Qualified Person's relationship to the Company. David Hladky, P. Geo., an employee of the Company, is the Qualified Person with respect to NI 43-101 for Morelos Sur and El Barqueño projects which has been clarified in the Website Materials.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company concluded that based on work done at Morelos Sur and El Barqueño that new or updated 43-101 compliant technical reports are required and such reports are now underway. The Company expects to file them at www.sedar.com on or before August 31, 2013.
