Aurcana Corporation Appoints Exploration Manager

Aurcana Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Nils von Fersen P. Geo. to the position of Exploration Manager for the Company. Mr. von Fersen has over 30 years experience working internationally and in Canada with major companies including Kidd Creek Mines and Falconbridge, and several junior mining companies in various technical and senior management positions. His first priority focus will be the Rosario Project located in Sinaloa State, Mexico.

"We are very pleased to have Mr. von Fersen join us at Aurcana. Finding experienced people with a solid understanding of Mexico can be a challenge. Nils von Fersen is a tremendous addition to the Aurcana team." Stated Mr. Ken Booth, President Aurcana Corporation

For clarification in future news releases, the Rosario Mine and/or Rosario property as it has
been referred to in the past, will be renamed the Rosario Project. This encompasses all mineral concessions including the historic producer, the Plomosas Mine, formally referred to as the Rosario Mine. The La Cruz Area and/or La Cruz Mine referenced to previously will now be referred to as the La Cruz Adit.

Aurcana Corporation remains committed to becoming a mid-tier base/precious metals producer. The Company is focused on the acquisition, development and operation of silver, zinc and copper mines with good infrastructure and ore reserves/resources requiring minimal time and money to re-start. The company continues to pursue and evaluate other high quality, producing or near producing projects, with the acquisition of any or all of these advanced stage projects, present and proposed cash flow will increase significantly. 

With $12-$15 million in cash flow expected from the 1,000 tonnes per day production established currently and an additional 800 tonnes per day being added in 2009, aggressive exploration programs underway on two projects, a strong balance sheet together with a positive outlook for the price of commodities, the future is very promising for Aurcana and its shareholders.

Ron Nichols, P.Eng. a Director and Vice President of Exploration for Aurcana, and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the technical information in this release.
