VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/03/10 -- CADAN RESOURCES CORPORATION (TSX VENTURE: CXD)(FRANKFURT: A0MZ25) ("Cadan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced the initial "testing phase" of its ball mill and CIP tanks section of its wholly own gold-silver treatment plant located at T'Boli, South Cotabato Province, Mindanao, Philippines.

To-date some 500t of old tailings and lower grade material, ranging from 1 to 3 g/t gold, is being used to test the plant and equipment. The ball mill has operated between 8 and 10 tonnes per hour with mechanical adjustments being made to fine tune the plant and equipment.

According to Cadan's Chief Operating Officer, Mr Robert Butchart, this "testing" phase will provide progressive information on operational performance and consumables consumption to achieve optimum recoveries of gold and silver, expected to be some 90 per cent.

While this work is ongoing, the plant contractors will complete additional infrastructure for the primary and secondary crushing circuits.

Cadan's T'Boli epithermal gold-silver deposit has a NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource (2.4Mt @ 5.5g/t gold and 21 g/t silver) of some 420,000 ounces of gold and 1,600,000 ounces of silver (see News Release dated Thursday, December 18, 2008).

In addition, some 400m of decline crosscutting and some 400m of decline have been completed with four auriferous vein structures exposed. The underground work is focused on the lateral development of these vein structures. Six heading have been advanced towards historic and previously reported drill intercepts being 1m @ 15.3 g/t gold and 1m @ 24.1g/t gold.

Development planning is underway to access historic and previously reported deeper, higher grade and wider intersections being TD 008 - 8.5m @ 15.6 g/t gold and TD 003 - 3.5m @ 23.5 g/t gold.

Cadan Resources Corporation is an emerging junior gold-silver producer and development company with significant mineral assets located in the Philippines. The Company's T'Boli gold-silver mine is near completion and expected to be operational by the end of the first quarter this year. Exploration and development work is also underway on its 9,000 hectare Comval Property which hosts large and significant gold and copper-gold deposits.
