TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 10, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES.

Noravena Capital Corporation ("Noravena") (TSX VENTURE:NRV.P) a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that pursuant to its previously announced letter of intent dated August 26, 2011, as amended September 29, 2011, October 7, 2011 and October 25, 2011 (the "LOI"), with respect to a proposed business combination with 3MV Energy Inc. ("3MV"), 3MV has completed the private placements for gross proceeds of $7,541,119, meeting the threshold financing condition set out in the LOI, and has entered into the definitive amalgamation agreement. Upon completion, the merger with 3MV is intended to constitute Noravena's qualifying transaction (the "Transaction"), subject to regulatory approval, 3MV shareholder approval and other conditions. The resulting company will be renamed "3MV Energy Corp."

Private Placement Financings of 3MV

In connection with the Transaction, 3MV has completed a best-efforts private placement financing (the "Financing") for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,541,119 consisting of the issuance of 1,231,285 common shares at a price of $3.75 per common share and 730,950 flow-through common shares at a price of $4.00 per flow-through common share. The Financing was led by Stonecap Securities Inc. as lead agent together with Cornerstone Asset Management L.P. as co-lead agent. Pro forma the offering, 3MV has 6,553,420 common shares outstanding.

Definitive Amalgamation Agreement Signed

Noravena and 3MV have entered into a formal definitive amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") providing for the merger of Noravena and 3MV by way of 3-corner amalgamation between 3MV, a new subsidiary of Noravena and Noravena. The Amalgamation Agreement also contains covenants, representations, warranties, conditions, indemnities and provisions customary for transactions of the nature of the qualifying transaction.

All of the issued and outstanding shares of 3MV will be acquired on the basis of 20.27 common shares of Noravena for each one (1) common share of 3MV including the currently outstanding common shares of 3MV and the common shares issued in connection with financings issued as part of the qualifying transaction.

The Amalgamation Agreement updates the LOI and corrects the August 29, 2011 press release to remedy an arithmetic error respecting the merger exchange ratio. The merger ratio was agreed on the basis of $3.75 per 3MV share and $0.185 per Noravena share, resulting in a ratio of 20.27:1.

Measurements

BOEs derived by converting gas to oil at a ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf: 1 bbl). BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
