Standard & Poor's Announces Changes in the S&P/TSX SmallCap Index

    




 TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2011 /CNW/ - Standard & Poor's will make the following  changes in the S&P/TSX SmallCap Index after the close of trading on  Tuesday, October 11, 2011: 

 Shareholders of Candente Copper Corp.  approved on August 23,  2011, the Plan of Arrangement whereby the company will spin out certain  copper and lead-zinc properties in Peru. For every 5 shares of Candente  held, shareholders will receive 1 share of a new company named Cobriza  Metals Corp. Cobriza will trade on TSX for the first time (the ex-date  of the spin-off) on October 12, 2011, under the ticker symbol "CZA" and  the CUSIP number 19105V 10 5. The spun out shares of Cobriza will be  added at zero price to the S&P/TSX SmallCap and Equity SmallCap Indices  after the close of trading on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. There will be  no divisor changes for either of these indices as a result of these  additions. 

 Effective after the close of Wednesday, October 12, 2011, the shares of  Cobriza will be removed from the same two indices and new divisors will  be created. 

 Company additions to and deletions from an S&P equity index do not in  any way reflect an opinion on the investment merits of the company.
