Vena owns a 99% interest in Las Dunas de Oro SA, a Peruvian company holding the interests in four gold exploration properties located in Peru. Vena also has approximately $1,600,000 in cash raised through a private placement which was completed in March, 2004 prior to the Company’s share exchange acquisition of Vena. The acquisition of Vena was negotiated at arm’s-length with the principal shareholders of Vena and completed pursuant to a share exchange offer mailed to all shareholders of Vena on April 8, 2004.

As a condition of the transaction, the common shares of the Company were consolidated on a three (3) for one (1) basis and the Company changed its name to “Vena Resources Inc.”.
