VENA FILES NI 43-101 REPORT FOR MACUSANI URANIUM PROJECT IN PERU

Vena Resources Inc. has completed an independent National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource estimate for its Macusani uranium project, located in Peru. The estimate will be filed on SEDAR and on the company's website today. Henkle and Associates has completed its first resource estimate for Minergia SAC, a uranium exploration company owned by Vena (75 per cent) and Cameco Corp. (25 per cent). It should be noted that the NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate only encompasses five of the nine properties in the Macusani region. Minergia also owns uranium properties in the Munani region where work is continuing.

The current resource numbers are based on 25,187 metres of diamond drilling in 158 drill holes performed over four years covering a small portion of the prospective target areas and indicates an overall resource estimate for the Macusani region of 8,316,818 pounds of indicated resources and 14,211,857 pounds of inferred resources at a 0.18-pound-per-ton cut-off and 7,618,216 pounds of indicated resources and 13,172,202 pounds of inferred resources at a 0.36-pound-per-ton cut-off as outlined in the associated table. A new drill program is expected to begin mid-January, 2011, intended to increase resources at Tantamaco and Isivilla.
