Cancana Completes Terms for Additional Manganese Claim

Cancana Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNY) (the "Company" or "Cancana") is
pleased to announce it has agreed to terms for the acquisition of an additional
Manganese claim in the State of Rondonia, Brazil.


Cancana through its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, M.L.B. De Nogueira
Mineracao, ("MLB") and its trading name Maio Mineracao, ("Maio"), has agreed to
terms of purchase for an additional Manganese claim. The claim is 3,922.07
hectares in size and has occurrences of Manganese at surface and in various
rudimentary pits that the claim owner has completed. 


This additional Manganese claim will bring the total area of Manganese bearing
claims held by Cancana to 27,243.28 hectares. All of the claims are located in
the State of Rondonia, Brazil and are easily accessible.


Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Cancana has until June 1, 2012 to
provide a positive notice to proceed with the acquisition. In the interim the
claim owner has transferred the claim into the name of MLB in good faith and
Cancana will conduct its own pitting and exploration program in order to
ascertain the viability of this particular claim. 


The early stage pitting on the claim completed by the claim owner, indicates a
grade and quality of Manganese mineralization that should be comparable to that
of Cancana's existing claims and of surrounding claims held by unrelated
parties. 


Director & CFO, Mr. Andrew Male remarks; "We are pleased to have secured this
additional mineral claim as it has demonstrated some very interesting
occurrences thus far. We are also particularly pleased with the work of our
country manager Marcio Nogueira in the negotiations for this agreement to
purchase. Marcio has successfully managed this process for Cancana and we
anticipate that he will be able to continue to contribute to Cancana in a
similar manner going forward."
