(“BC Offeror”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) (the “Statement”), relating to the common shares, without par value (the “Common Shares”), of Corriente Resources Inc.

Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following immediately following the last paragraph thereof.
“On August 4, 2010, pursuant to a compulsory acquisition under the laws of British Columbia (the “Compulsory Acquisition”), BC Offeror acquired all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares that were not acquired under the Offer. Each holder of Common Shares whose Common Shares were acquired under the Compulsory Acquisition is entitled to receive Cdn $8.60 in cash for each Common Share.
On June 11, 2010, the Issuer filed a Form 25 to notify the SEC of its withdrawal from listing of the Common Shares on the NYSE Amex and of its intention to withdraw the Common Shares from registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and pursuant thereto the Common Shares were delisted from the NYSE Amex on June 21, 2010. Following completion of the Compulsory Acquisition, the Toronto Stock Exchange delisted the Common Shares as of the close of the market on August 4, 2010. The Reporting Persons have caused the Issuer to file the necessary documentation to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Reporting Persons have caused the Issuer to file, concurrently with the filing of this Amendment No. 3 to the Statement, a Form 15 with the SEC for termination of the registration of the Common Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.”
