Vena Provides Update on Azulcocha West Polymetallic Project

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct 8, 2014) - Vena Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Vena") (TSX:VEM)(LMA:VEM)(FRANKFURT:V1RA)(OTCBB:VNARF) provides a positive development for the Company on the arbitration process in Peru related to the Azulcocha West Polymetallic Project. As announced by Vena on May 26, 2014, the arbitration process in Peru returned the promising Azulcocha West polymetallic property to the Company and awarded Empresa Minera Los Quenuales S.A. ("LQ"), a company owned by Glencore plc of Switzerland, US$2,342,092.51 for damages (the "Arbitral Reward") despite the fact that LQ did not comply with the original option agreement. In July, the Company filed a lawsuit for the Annulment of the Arbitral Award (the "Lawsuit") with the Superior Court of Lima on the basis that the Arbitral Award lacked grounds and was based on further contradictory and insufficient reasons that infringe the basic rules of the due process under the arbitration process. After review of the Lawsuit, the Superior Court of Lima has admitted the Lawsuit. Under Peruvian Law, the Superior Court of Lima will review whether the Arbitral Award was issued in compliance with the essential formalities that must exist in any judicial judgment or arbitral award.

Juan Vegarra, Vena's Chairman and CEO stated: "We are very pleased with the ruling of the Superior Court of Lima to accept our lawsuit for the Annulment of the Arbitral Award. Vena believes that the Arbitral Award was egregious given LQ did not meet the terms and further that it breached the terms of the option agreement by performing drilling without the required authorizations and permits and by not disclosing the technical results to Vena. A final decision on the Lawsuit could take up to a year."

In other news and further to the Company's press release of September 19^th, Vena now holds 2,525,252 Azincourt Uranium Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AAZ) and 3,318,655 common shares of Macusani Yellowcake Inc. ("Macusani") (TSX VENTURE:YEL) pursuant to Macusani's acquisition of Azincourt's Peruvian uranium assets.
