VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 5, 2014) - Cancana Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNY)(the "Company" or "Cancana") is pleased to announce that it has invested US5.0 million and acquired a 30% equity interest in Brazil Manganes Corporation ("BMC") (formerly Rio Madeira Comercio Importacao E Exportacao De Minerios), the joint venture ("BMC JV") between Cancana and Ferrometals BV("Ferrometals").
The US5million investment was made pursuant to the terms of the binding term sheet (the"Agreement"), as initially announced on December 20, 2013 and subsequently amended and announced on February 25, 2014.
Anthony Julien, President & CEO of Cancana, commented; "It is good news for Cancana shareholders that the delays in earning into the BMC JV are been resolved. The Brazilian joint venture is moving ahead with exploration programs with aerial geophysics commencing in the next 30 days (covering 7,340 line kilometers) and ground surveys over four initial test sites. The surveys will assist in defining extensions to the boulder fields that supply current mining operations and will also target primary manganese vein structures at depth. As well as exploration, BMC is implementing work practices and programs to align the work force with Canadian and International mining and safety standards."
Cancana also announces that, due to the expiry and cancellation of certain incentive stock options ("Options") of the Company held by former directors, officers and consultants of Cancana pursuant to the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan, there are currently an aggregate of 1,940,000 Options issued and outstanding.
