Aurcana Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") is pleased to report its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. The summary of the selected financial information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the related management's discussion and analysis dated November 22, 2007 together referred to as the "Financial Statements", which have been filed on www.sedar.com and the Company's website www.aurcana.com. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Highlights of the 3rd Quarter September 30, 2007 results are:

• 74,000 tonnes of ore processed
• 3,800 tonnes of concentrate sold
• Revenues of $3,936,000
• Operating cash flow of $754,142 and gross operating profit was $1,194,320
• $14.8 million in cash held on deposit with major bank (no exposure to Asset Backed Commercial Paper) working capital of C$14.3 million

Overall Performance:

La Negra
During the third quarter the operation performed as expected. Efforts during the first six months of 2007 were concentrated on ensuring the mill was reconditioned to obtain a capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day, an increase of 25% of the previous operating capacity and this capacity was achieved in the third quarter.

Morale at the mine continues to be high and recent monthly production levels at the mine are on target with expectations of an average of 1,000 tonnes per day and monthly sales on target with expectations for a restarted mine. It is expected that with the recent acquisition of new underground equipment the mine will sustain production to meet mill throughput.

The Company also recently commenced a 15,000 metre underground diamond drill exploration program to define additional resources.

Rosario
On February 22, 2007, the Company received Exchange approval to enter into an Option Agreement to acquire, through its subsidiary, Aurcana de Mexico, an 100% interest in a silver-zinc-lead-gold Property, Rosario (Rosario) located in Sinaloa State, Mexico for US$3,000,000.

Following its technical and legal review of the Rosario Property, the Company on August 7, 2007 exercised the Option to Purchase and executed a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire a 100% undivided interest in Rosario, under the following terms:

February 22, 2007 US$250,000 upon signing the option agreement (paid)
August 7, 2007 US$250,000 upon signing the purchase agreement (paid)
February 7, 2008 US$1,250,000
February 7, 2009 US$1,250,000

Development at the Rosario site has been proceeding well and the Company expects to begin production from the mine before the end of fiscal 2008. To assist in meeting its goal of production start up in the last quarter of 2008, Aurcana has acquired a critical piece of mill equipment. Currently, lead times in the mining industry for both mill equipment and mining equipment are becoming increasingly longer but Aurcana has been successful in securing a SAG ("Semi-Autogenous Grinding") mill that will be instrumental in the refurbishment of the Rosario mill and ensure that timelines are maintained. The SAG mill is capable of processing up to 1200 tonnes per day.
