CORRIENTE RESOURCES INC.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(AS AT APRIL 21, 2008, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)

____________________________________________________________________________________

INFORMATION FOR UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS

Corriente is a Canadian corporation and the solicitation of proxies for the meeting is not subject to the requirements of section 14(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"). Accordingly, the solicitation contemplated in this Information Circular is made in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and this Information Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. U.S. shareholders should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the 1934 Act. Unless otherwise specificied, all dollar amounts in this Information Circular are in Canadian dollars.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE MEETING

Time, Date and Place

The Meeting will be held at the offices of Bull, Housser & Tupper LLP, 30^th Floor, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3R3 at 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on Wednesday, May 28, 2008.

Record Date

The record date for the determination of Corriente Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting has been fixed at April 21, 2008. Any Corriente Shareholder of record at the close of business on April 21, 2008 who either personally attends the Meeting or who has completed and delivered a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above shall be entitled to vote or to have his or her Corriente Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Corriente for use at the Meeting of Corriente Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 (and any adjournment thereof) at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. While it is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by the directors and regular employees of Corriente. All costs of solicitation will be borne by Corriente.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and Corriente or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary (as defined below) holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, Corriente (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions. (For further information relating to non-registered owners, see the discussion below under "Information for Non-Registered (Beneficial) Owners of Corriente Common Shares".)

2

Information for Non-Registered (Beneficial) Owners of Corriente Common Shares

The Corriente Common Shares owned by many Corriente Shareholders are not registered on the records of Corriente in the beneficial shareholders’ own names. Rather, such Corriente Common Shares are registered in the name of a securities dealer, bank or other intermediary, or in the name of a clearing agency (referred to in this Information Circular as "Intermediaries"). Corriente Shareholders who do not hold their Corriente Common Shares in their own names (referred to in this Information Circular as "nonregistered owners") should note that only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. A non-registered owner cannot be recognized at the Meeting for the purpose of voting his shares unless such holder is appointed by the applicable Intermediary as a proxyholder.

Non-registered owners who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to Corriente are referred to as non-objecting beneficial owners ("NOBOs"). Those non-registered owners who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as objecting beneficial owners ("OBOs").

In accordance with applicable securities regulatory policy (National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators), Corriente has elected to seek voting instructions directly from NOBOs. The Intermediaries (or their service companies) are responsible for forwarding this Information Circular and other Meeting materials to each OBO, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them.

Meeting materials sent to non-registered owners who have not waived the right to receive Meeting materials are accompanied by a request for voting instructions (a "VIF"). This form is provided instead of a proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a non-registered owner is able to instruct the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the non-registered owner. VIFs, whether provided by Corriente or by an Intermediary, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered owners to direct the voting of the Corriente Common Shares which they beneficially own. If a non-registered owner who receives a VIF wishes to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his behalf, then the non-registered owner may request a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will grant the non-registered owner or his nominee the right to attend and vote at the Meeting.

IF YOU ARE A NON-REGISTERED OWNER AND WISH TO VOTE IN PERSON AT THE MEETING, PLEASE REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS SET OUT ON THE "REQUEST FOR VOTING INSTRUCTIONS" (VIF) THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR.

Appointment, Deposit and Revocation of Proxies

The individuals named as appointed proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy are the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

A Corriente Shareholder wishing to appoint some other person (who need not be a Corriente Shareholder) to represent him or her at the Meeting has the right to do so, either by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and striking out the two printed names or by completing another form of proxy.

To be valid, a proxy must be in writing and executed by the Corriente Shareholder or its attorney authorized in writing, unless the Corriente Shareholder chooses to complete the proxy by telephone or the internet as described in the enclosed proxy form. Completed proxies must be received by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9^th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time for holding the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or delivered to the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting or an adjourned meeting.

A Corriente Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke the proxy: (a) by completing and signing a proxy bearing a later date and returning it to Computershare Trust Company of Canada in the manner and so as to arrive as described above; or (b) by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Corriente Shareholder or by his/her attorney authorized in writing: (i) at the registered office of the Company, Suite 520 - 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2V6, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any reconvened meeting at which the proxy is to be used, or (ii) with the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvened meeting; or (c) in any other manner permitted by law. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

3

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote shares in respect of which they are appointed, on any ballot that may be called for, in accordance with the direction of the Corriente Shareholder appointing them. If the Corriente Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

In the absence of such specification, such shares will be voted in favour of the matters to be acted upon as set out herein. The accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority on the person appointed proxyholder hereunder with respect to amendments or variations of those matters specified in the form of proxy and Notice of Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgement on such matter or business. At the time of printing of this Information Circular, management knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented to the Meeting.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS

As at April 21, 2008, Corriente has issued and outstanding 74,972,393 fully paid and non-assessable Corriente Common Shares, each share carrying the right to one vote. Corriente has no other classes of voting securities.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of Corriente, as at April 21, 2008, no person or company beneficially owns or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of Corriente except for Mr. David T. Lu of Riverside, Connecticut, who has filed reports indicating that he owns approximately 8.17 million shares (or approximately 10.9% of Corriente’s outstanding shares), directly and indirectly through Hedgehog Capital LLC and Hold River LLC.

The maximum aggregate number of common shares available for the grant of Corriente Options under the Corriente Option Plan and all other share compensation arrangements of Corriente is that number which is equal to 10% of the total number of shares actually outstanding immediately prior to the grant of any particular Corriente Option.

As at December 31, 2007, taking into account outstanding Corriente Options to purchase a total of 2,702,500 Corriente Common Shares, Corriente had 4,790,239 Corriente Common Shares available for the grant of Corriente Options.

Since December 31, 2007, Corriente has granted Corriente Options to purchase a total of 300,000 Corriente Common Shares to senior management.

The exercise price for a Corriente Option issued under the Corriente Option Plan is determined by the directors at the time of grant but will not be less than the "market price", which is defined in the Corriente Option Plan as the closing market price of Corriente’s common shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately prior to the grant of the Corriente Option.

The Corriente Option Plan does not provide for any financial assistance to be provided to participants to facilitate the purchase of shares pursuant to Corriente Options granted under the Corriente Option Plan, nor is it the policy of Corriente to provide such assistance outside of the Corriente Option Plan.

The maximum number of common shares available for the grant of Corriente Options under the Corriente Option Plan and all other share compensation arrangements of Corriente to any one person is that number which is equal to 5% of the issued capital at the time of grant. Corriente Options granted under the Corriente Option Plan are not assignable or transferable.

No Corriente Option may be granted for a term longer than 10 years. An Corriente Option may expire on such earlier date or dates as may be fixed by the Board, subject to earlier termination in the event the optionee ceases to be eligible under the Corriente Option Plan by reason of death, retirement or otherwise. Although the Corriente Option Plan does not require vesting provisions, the Board may stipulate such provisions at the time it grants an Corriente Option under the Corriente Option Plan. If a take-over bid is made for the common shares of Corriente, Corriente will so notify each optionee, and will amend the terms of any Corriente Option outstanding under the Corriente Option Plan to provide that any otherwise applicable vesting restrictions are waived, so that the optionee may exercise his or her Corriente Option and tender to the take-over bid the shares issued on exercise of the Corriente Option.

Amendments to the Corriente Option Plan are subject to approval by the TSX and any amendment to the Corriente Option Plan which increases the maximum number of shares issuable under the Corriente Option Plan also requires shareholder approval.

Composition of the Compensation Committee

Corriente’s compensation program is administered primarily by the Compensation Committee, which reports to the full Board with its recommendations. The Compensation Committee is composed of Richard P. Clark, Anthony F. Holler and David G. Unruh, all of whom are independent directors.

Report on Executive Compensation

Corriente’s executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives, and to encourage and reward on the basis of individual and corporate performance those in the best position to enhance Corriente’s results and prospects, both in the short and the long term.

The compensation of Corriente’s senior management team, including its Chief Executive Officer, has historically consisted of salary and stock options. In January 2006, the Compensation Committee engaged Mercer Human Resource Consulting to undertake a review of the compensation of Corriente’s senior management. Following the completion of that review, the Board, acting on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, made certain changes to Corriente’s executive compensation regime for 2006, which now comprises salary, bonus and stock option components. The review was further updated in January 2007, whereupon the Board, acting on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, made certain changes to Corriente’s executive compensation regime for 2007.

The salary component of Corriente’s executive compensation program is intended to reflect current industry standards. The bonus component is based on performance milestones developed by the chairman of the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Board. The stock option component is intended to encourage and reward loyalty and outstanding performance, and to align the interests of the executive officers with the longer-term interests of shareholders by reinforcing an ownership perspective.

The Board has sole discretion to determine the key employees to whom option grants should be made and to determine the terms and conditions of any such options. Individual grants of options are based on the Board’s assessment of the optionee’s current and anticipated work performance, level of responsibility within Corriente, and importance to Corriente. In addition, the number and terms of outstanding options are taken into account when determining whether and how many new options should be granted.

Presented by:

Anthony F. Holler (Chairman), Richard P. Clark and David G. Unruh

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate governance is the process and structure used to direct and manage the business and affairs of an issuer with the objective of enhancing value for its owners. National Instrument 58-101 of the Canada Securities Administrators – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires Corriente to disclose in this Information Circular its system of corporate governance.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Corriente consists of six directors, five of whom are independent directors as defined in NI 58-101, meaning that, in each case, he has no direct or indirect relationship with the issuer which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment, and is not otherwise deemed not to be independent. Applying the criteria in NI 58-101, each of Richard P. Clark, Anthony F. Holler, G. Ross McDonald, Dale C. Peniuk and David G. Unruh is an independent director. Ken Shannon is considered not to be independent, on the basis that he is an executive officer of Corriente.

The independent directors hold regularly scheduled meetings without the non-independent directors and other members of management in attendance and are able to hold such meetings whenever they wish.

The independent members of the Board believe that their majority on the Board, their sophistication and their knowledge of Corriente’s business are sufficient to facilitate the functioning of the Board independently of management and to provide for open and candid discussion among the independent directors.

The attendance record of the directors at meetings of the Board and its committees during 2007 was as follows:

Mandates and Position Descriptions

The Board has adopted a written mandate in which it explicitly acknowledges responsibility for its stewardship of Corriente. The text of the Board’s written mandate is attached as Schedule A hereto.

The Board has not adopted written position descriptions for the Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of each Board committee, on the basis that the role of the Chairman is well understood by all of the directors. The Board has also not adopted a written position description for the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shannon, on the basis that his role and responsibilities are well understood by him and by the other directors. The Board has adopted a written mandate for each of the company’s three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Conmpensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

13

Audit Committee

Corriente’s Audit Committee is composed of three Board members: Richard P. Clark, Dale C. Peniuk and David G. Unruh, all of whom are independent directors. The disclosure required by Form 52-110F1 relating to the Audit Committee, including a copy of the Audit Committee’s mandate, is included in Corriente’s Annual Information Form dated March 26, 2008 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is composed of three Board members: Richard P. Clark, Anthony F. Holler and David G. Unruh, all of whom are independent directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of senior management of Corriente, evaluating performance in light of those goals and making recommendations to the Board with respect to executive compensation levels based on that evaluation, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the adequacy and form of the compensation of the directors, and reviewing executive compensation disclosure before it is publicly issued.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of four Board members: Richard P. Clark, Anthony F. Holler, G. Ross McDonald and David G. Unruh, all of whom are independent directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying new candidates for the Board as necessary, after considering what competencies and skills the directors as a group should possess and assessing the competencies and skills of the existing and any proposed directors, and considering the appropriate size of the Board.

The mandate of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also includes overseeing the effective functioning of the Board, which includes a periodic review of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and of the composition of the Board. To date, given the small size of the Board and the frequency with which its meetings are held, the Board has not found it necessary to institute any formal process in order to satisfy itself that the Board, its committees and its individual directors are performing effectively.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board does not have a formal orientation and education program for new directors. Upon joining the Board in September 2006, Dale C. Peniuk participated in an orientation process regarding the role of the Board, its committees and its directors, and the nature and operation of Corriente’s current and past business. The Board encourages directors to participate in continuing education opportunities in order to ensure that the directors may maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors, and maintain a current and thorough understanding of Corriente’s business.

Ethical Business Conduct and Social Responsibility

The Board has adopted a Corporate Creed and a written code of business conduct, which is applicable equally to all directors, officers, employees, consultants and suppliers of Corriente and its subsidiaries. A copy of the Code of Conduct, including the Corporate Creed, is available on Corriente’s website at www.corriente.com or on request as indicated under "Additional Information" elsewhere in this Information Circular.

Corriente regards maintaining a culture of ethical business conduct and social and environmental responsibility as critically important. Management consistently strives to instil Corriente’s Corporate Creed principles into the practices and actions of Corriente’s management and staff. The Board monitors compliance with the Code of Conduct by requiring management, supervisors and business unit leaders to assume responsibility for the conduct of those who report to them. This means ensuring that the code is clearly communicated, leading by example, establishing and maintaining controls designed to prevent or detect breaches, appropriately investigating situations which may indicate a breach and dealing appropriately with known breaches. All known or suspected breaches of the Code of Conduct are required to be reported to a supervisor, general manager, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Chief Financial Officer. All known or suspected instances of fraud are required to be reported to the Audit Committee, which will report all complaints and allegations to the Board of Directors for investigation.

14

The Code of Conduct calls on all directors, officers and employees of Corriente and its subsidiaries to strive to avoid situations that create, have the potential to create, or create the appearance of, a conflict of interest. A director or officer who has a material interest in any transaction or agreement that comes before the Board for decision is required to disclose his or her interest to the Board members and to abstain from any vote taken on the matter.

Corriente’s social responsibility objectives are embodied in Corriente’s Corporate Creed and Health, Safety, Environment and Community Policy, which is attached as Schedule B hereto.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No informed person of Corriente, proposed nominee for election as a director of Corriente or any associate or affiliate of any such informed person or proposed nominee has been involved in any transaction entered into since January 1, 2007 or now proposed to be entered into which has materially affected or would materially affect Corriente or any of its subsidiaries.

INTERESTS OF EXPERTS
