Vena Resources Inc.: Candelaria Silver Inc. Withdraws Preliminary Prospectus

TORONTO, June 29, 2012 - Vena Resources Inc. ("Vena" or the "Company") (TSX: VEM) (LIMA: VEM) (Frankfurt: V1R) (OTCBB: VNARF) (Xetra®: V1R.DE), a Company with strong partnerships with some of the world's largest mining companies, announces that Candelaria Silver Inc. ("Candelaria"), Vena's wholly-owned subsidiary, has decided to withdraw the preliminary prospectus that it filed on April 9, 2012 with respect to a proposed offering of units of Candelaria, because it was not able to complete the proposed offering under current market conditions. As a result, the Company has determined that, at this time, it is unable to proceed with its previously announced the spin-out transaction, pursuant to which it proposed to spin-out its shareholdings in Candelaria to the Company's shareholders. The Company is now evaluating other alternatives, including continuing its effort to complete a financing and the spin-out transaction when market conditions are more favorable, and pursuing one or more alternative strategic transactions involving Candelaria.
