Juan Vegarra, Vena's Chairman and CEO stated: "We are pleased with the progress that was made in 2013 to improve the Company's balance sheet. Vena was able to eliminate $787,292 in liabilities in comparison with 2012 and at year end had a positive working capital position of $796,875 compared to negative working capital of $300,000 at year end 2012. In the first quarter 2014, Vena will record the sale of its uranium properties to Azincourt Uranium Inc. ("Azincourt") reflecting $250,000 in a cash payment and $750,000 shares of Azincourt. With a clean balance sheet and excellent properties like Esquilache, the Company is well positioned to improve its performance in 2014."
