AGORACOM NEWS FLASH

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

Corriente Recieves Official Notice That All Suspensions Are Lifted
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 17, 2009) - Corriente Resources Inc. (TSX:CTQ)(NYSE Alternext US:ETQ) announces that its Ecuador subsidiary has received an official notice signed by Minister Derlis Palacios Guerrero of the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum in Ecuador (the "MMP") which states that the company is authorized to reinitiate its field operations. Additionally, Corriente received its Water Use Concession for general water use at the Mirador camp on February 26, 2009 and will update its Environmental Permits and Water Use Concessions for exploration drilling with the appropriate agencies.

According to Mr. Jose Serrano Delgado, Sub-Secretary of Mines of the MMP, "With the suspension lifting of the companies' activities, the Government has finished the phase of the process to organize the sector and is initiating a new stage where the development of projects of national priority, of which mining has a central role, will be pushed actively. The new rules handled by an honest government will create a scenario appropriate for the state, the communities, the workers, and investors responsible with society and the environment, and a scenario where the respect of the Constitution and law comes first."

Corriente CEO and President, Ken Shannon, commented, "We are encouraged and pleased with the Ecuador Government's continuing progress in working together to establish an environment in which large-scale mining can participate for the benefit of all project stakeholders."

ABOUT CORRIENTE

Corriente holds a 100% interest in four known copper and copper-gold porphyry deposits that are being strategically developed as the Mirador Project (which includes our Mirador Norte deposit) and the Panantza-San Carlos Project, for which NI 43-101 Technical Reports have been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

The company also holds 100% of concession interests covering approximately 430 square kilometers, in which six additional copper exploration targets have been identified. Taken together, the known project deposits and exploration targets represent a potential long-term district development opportunity for large-scale copper-gold mining in southeast Ecuador.
