Cancana Provides Default Status Report

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/14/13 -- 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"), the MCTO 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").

The Company anticipates that it will be in a position to remedy the default prior to the expiry of the MCTO 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 30, 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.
