JURISDICTIONAL HEARING DELAYED FOR PROCEDURAL REASONS

CALGARY, ALBERTA: Vannessa Ventures Ltd. (the “Company”) announces that the jurisdictional hearing in its international arbitration against Venezuela regarding the Las Cristinas project has been delayed for procedural reasons. Both the President of the three-arbitrator panel and Venezuela's appointee to the panel resigned from the panel at the opening of the hearing in London, England this morning for reasons unrelated to the merits of the dispute. A date will be set to continue the hearing following the appointment of replacement arbitrators.
