Vena Announces Closing of Private Placement Financing

Toronto, Ontario - Vena Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Vena") (TSX: VEM, Peru: VEM, Germany: V1RA, USA: VNARF) is pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (see press releases of September 19 and November 7).  In connection with this private placement, Vena has entered into unsecured convertible debenture agreements aggregating $718,000 (the "Debentures").

The Debentures accrue interest at 12% per annum, such interest payable quarterly in cash or in common shares ("Common Shares") at the option of the holder, such payment of interest in Common Shares calculated using a price equal to the five-day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares immediately prior to the interest due date, and will have a two-year term and a right for holders of the Debentures to convert the principal into Common Shares at a conversion price of $0.15 per Common Share, subject to a forced conversion feature whereby the Debentures are callable at the Company's option after one year if the Common Shares trade at $0.30 for 20 consecutive days at which point Vena can then force a conversion at $0.15 per Common Share within 20 days.  The Debentures, and any Common shares issuable on conversion of the Debentures or issuable as payment of interest as noted above, are subject to a four-month-and-a-day hold in accordance with applicable securities laws. 

Two insiders participated in the private placement with the purchase of $78,000 of the Debentures. 

Martin Walter, President stated, "We are pleased to welcome new investors to Vena. The Company's drill program at its flagship property, the Esquilache project, is ongoing and initial results are expected mid-December."
