Venerable Ventures Ltd. Announces Start of Drill Program and Grant of Options

VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2012 - Venerable Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:VLV) ("Venerable" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on its Trout Property. The Company has begun a Phase One 2,200 metre drilling program on three of the seven targets. Four of the remaining targets will be investigated by additional soil geochemistry, rock sampling, geological mapping and prospecting before season closure. The target is epithermal gold mineralization associated with zones of silica-sulphide and surrounded by broader clay alteration.

The Company's objective is to test for similar Discovery and Camp Zone style mineralization to the northeast and within this graben structure. Here, mineralization may either be 'buried' by a thin veneer of post-mineralization basalt or occur as near-surface silicified structures outside the basalt cover. Previous operators have never tested for gold and silver mineralization along these two northeast trends.

Descriptions of the drill targets are listed below, all of which are considered consistent with the Company's exploration objectives:
