Aurcana files Amended Interim Filings

Aurcana Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") wishes to advise that subsequent to the filing of the Company's year ended December 31, 2008 audited financial statements and annual management discussion and analysis (the "Financial Statements") which contained two significant audit adjustments required as of yearend, specifically with respect to concentrate sales and the potential future tax effects of our acquisition of the Shafter project in Texas, the Company has elected to restate its Interim Filings for the period ended June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 to accurately reflect these adjustments. 

During 2008, under the contract terms then in place, revenues from concentrate sales were recognized at the time of shipment to the port in Mexico based on metal prices at that time at 90% provisional value. Final pricing was generally set at 4 months after shipment or alternatively 1 month after receipt at smelter. With the precipitous decline in metal prices mid-year, a large number of open contracts for shipments were effectively re-priced at the lower prices in effect at settlement. This resulted in an adjustment to sales of US$4.8 million (approximately $5.1 million Canadian). This adjustment was reflected in the 2008 audited financial statements of the Company, however to allow for accurate quarterly comparisons, the effects of the decline in concentrate prices have been reallocated to the quarter where the original invoices were booked.

During Q3 2008 we also acquired the Shafter project in Texas. At yearend our tax advisors determined the possible future income tax consequences of this acquisition to be in the range of $16 million. Although an earlier determination of FIT was not feasible, as the acquisition occurred during Q3 2008 we have amended the quarterly to reflect the change to mineral properties and FIT liabilities. 

A more detailed analysis of the changes is presented in Note 16 to the amended and restated June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 financial statements, as well as in the respective MD&A.

The 2008 annual audited financial statements were not affected by these changes
