TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Canuc Resources Corporation ("Canuc" or the "Company") (TSXV: CDA) is pleased to report that the Minerals Registry Branch of the Department of Natural Resources, Nova Scotia has confirmed that the Company has acquired 863 mining exploration claims in the Meguma Terrane of Southwestern Nova Scotia. The claims cover an area of approximately 140 square kilometres in three areas known as Little Lake Brook, Sable River and Jordan Falls. The mining exploration claims are located north of Shelburne and due west of Liverpool along the southern extension of the Pleasantville anticline, a structural feature that hosts the Company's current Mill Village exploration project to the north.

Previous exploration work in these areas is limited. Exploration on these new claims will commence in 2012 in conjunction with the work presently being conducted at the Company's Mill Village exploration project.

"We believe the Southwestern Meguma Terrane holds potential for bulk mineable gold deposits similar to those being evaluated in the eastern portions of the Terrane by Atlantic Gold NL and Acadian Mining Corporation. Phase 1 work on Canuc's Mill Village property is currently ongoing and is focused on identifying similar bulk tonnage potential to complement the known, narrow vein, high grade occurrences on the property. Results are expected from the Phase 1 program within the next several weeks."

Mr. Bruce Hudgins, P. Geo is the Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 for this press release and has reviewed and approved the technical and scientific disclosure contained herein.
