TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2011) - Vena Resources Inc. (Toronto:VEM.TO)(Toronto:VEM.TO)(Frankfurt:V1R.F)(Other OTC:VNARF.PK)(XETRA:V1R.DE) -

Vena Resources Inc. ("Vena" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a prospectus supplement regarding its previously announced public offering of units in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. M Partners Inc. and Celfin Capital S.A. SAB (collectively, the "Agents") have entered into an agreement with the Company to arrange, on a best efforts basis, for purchasers of up to 24,039,458 units, of which 720,000 units will be purchased by insiders of the Company, at a price of $0.50 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $12 million. The Units will be sold in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario through M Partners and on a private placement basis to purchasers in Chile and Peru through Celfin Capital.

Each unit shall be comprised of one common share (a "Common Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant") (the "Offering"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.75 per Warrant Share at any time following the closing of the Offering until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 18 months following the closing date of the Offering. The Company has a right, if the closing trading price for the Common Shares as reported by the Toronto Stock Exchange is greater than $1.00 for a period of 20 or more consecutive trading days on the TSX, to give notice in writing to the holders of the Warrants, within 30 days of such an occurrence, that the Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the 30th calendar day following the date of the notice of acceleration unless the Warrants are exercised by the holders of the Warrants prior to such time.

Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about February 25, 2011. Closing of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval, including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). The Company has applied to list the Common Shares and Warrant Shares on the TSX. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX.

Juan Vegarra, Chairman and CEO stated: "We're very pleased with expanding Vena's shareholder base through the efforts of M Partners and Celfin. The funds from the Offering will be utilized to advance our Azulcocha polymetallic mine to production this year, for further exploration and drilling at our Esquilache project and for general working capital purposes."
