Based on discussions with the Ecuador Ministry of Mines and Petroleum, Corriente (TSX: CTQ)(AMEX: ETQ) has given notification of the resumption of activities related to the development of an Environmental Impact Assessment Amendment (EIAA), covering the complete Mirador concession area, starting November 2007.

The EIAA is an amendment to the previously-approved Environmental Impact Assessment for the Mirador concession area that will incorporate engineering enhancements completed on the Mirador project.

"The resumption of these activities is the result of multiple open and transparent conversations that have been taking place over the past few months with the Ministry that are leading to formal bilateral negotiations," commented Corriente CEO, Ken Shannon.
