Vena Intersects 5.65 Metres of 304 g/t Ag Including 2.0 Metres of 593 g/t Ag at Esquilache Polymetallic Property

TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2015 /CNW/ - Vena Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Vena") (TSX: VEM, Peru: VEM, Germany: V1RA, USA: VNARF) is pleased to provide further results on the current drill program at the Company's 100% owned Esquilache project, a silver-rich polymetallic property. To date, the Company has completed 619.4 metres of drilling and assays have been received for 11 of the 12 holes that have been drilled as shown in the tables below.  Ongoing and future drill programs will lead to an updated National Instrument 43-101 later this year.

The 1,000 hectare Esquilache property covers the mineralized core of a five kilometre diameter volcanic caldera that has been mined for silver/lead since the early Colonial period. The exposed structures on the property are characterized as part of a system of polymetallic, low to intermediate sulfidation, epithermal to mesothermal veins containing silver-lead-zinc-copper and significant values of gold.
