(TSX VENTURE:VVI) ("Valencia" or the "Company") announces that it will be again taking advantage of the Notice-and-Access rules to reduce printing and mailing costs associated with the dissemination of annual information to shareholders. Notice-and-Access permits annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and meeting circulars to be posted on public companies' websites, instead of being mailed to shareholders.

The Company will post on its website, www.valenciaventures.com, under the "Investors" tab, the meeting circular, annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis in respect of its upcoming annual general and special meeting to be held on May 26, 2014.

Consolidation

Among other matters which may duly come before shareholders, the Company proposes that shareholders consider and approve a share consolidation (the "Consolidation") on the basis of one new common share of the Company (each,a "New Share") for up to every eight existing common shares of the Company (each, an "Old Share"), or such lower number of Old Shares as may be determined by the Board of Directors of Valencia and as may be required to obtain approval of the consolidation from the TSX Venture Exchange. The principal effects of the Consolidation will be that the number of common shares of the Company issued and outstanding will be reduced from 16,754,065 Old Shares as of April 10, 2014 to approximately 2,094,258 New Shares, assuming a consolidation ratio of 8 to 1.

The expected benefits of the Consolidation include improved trading liquidity from lower transaction costs and great investor interest as well as reduced future dilution from the ability to raise additional capital at a higher price per share. Additional benefits of the Consolidation, as well as the procedure for implementing the Consolidation and the full text resolution approving the Consolidation may be found in the Company's management information circular dated April 14, 2014 (the "Circular") that is being posted on the Company's website and may be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR.
