Cancana Provides Default Status Report and Announces Resignation of Director

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 14, 2013) - Cancana Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNY) (the "Company" or "Cancana") announces that a temporary Management Cease Trade Order (the "MCTO") was issued by the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") against the Company's Chief Executive Officer on June 3, 2013, as opposed to a general cease trader order against the Company. The MTCO prohibits trading in securities of the Company, either directly or indirectly, by this individual.

As summarized in Cancana's News Release dated May 31, 2013 (the "Default Notice"), this action was expected due to the fact that the Company was unable to file its annual financial statements, management discussion and analysis and related Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates for its fiscal year-ended January 31, 2013 (the "Required Filings") before the May 31, 2013 filing deadline (the "Filing Deadline").

Through the process of completing the Cancana's financial statements, the Company's auditors have raised an issue with respect to the consolidation of an investment currently held by the Company and the applicable accounting treatment in respect of this holding. The Company is working with its auditors to remedy the situation and complete the Required Filings.

The Company anticipates that it will be in a position to remedy the default within two months and file the Required Filings, on or before July 30, 2013. The MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are filed. Should Cancana fail to file the Required Filings on or before July 20, 2013, the ASC can impose a cease trader order on the Company such that all trading of securities of the Company cease for such period as the ASC deems appropriate.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 4.4 of National Policy 12-203 - Alternative Information Guidelines ("AIG"), the Corporation reports the following:

(i)	There have been no material changes to the information contained in the Default Notice and the Corporation expects to file the Required Filings on or before July 30, 2013;
(ii)	There have been no failures with respect to the Corporation fulfilling its stated intention of satisfying the requirements of the AIG;
(iii)	There has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the Default Notice; and,
(iv)	There is no other material information about the affairs of the Corporation that has not otherwise been reported.
