Cavan Ventures Inc. ("Cavan" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CVN) announces that
it has signed an agreement to acquire claims located in Quebec. The claims cover
approximately 1140 hectares of ground adjacent to the historic Asbury Graphite
Mine, the historic minesite area, and a large unexplored mag anomaly identified
on Gestim online. The Asbury Graphite Mine area is located approximately 30km
south of the TIMCAL graphite mine, one of only two currently producing graphite
mines in Canada.


The Asbury Graphite mine had historic production from 1980 to 1988. The
following information (file number 31J/04-0016 - The Asbury Mine), was derived
from the Quebec Department of Natural Resources website at
http://www.mrnf.gouv.qc.ca/mines/industrie/mineraux/mineraux-exploration-graphite.jsp
and contains: The discovery of graphite occurred in 1951 with work continuing
intermittently over the years. In 1974, Graphex Mines Inc., guided by surface
sampling, outlined a bed with graphite content ranging from 20 to 35% carbon.
Reserves in 1975 were listed at 300,000 tonnes at 10.0% carbon. The reserve
estimates are historical, and a qualified person has not done sufficient work to
classify the historical resource estimate as current mineral resources,
therefore these historical reserves should not be relied upon, and do not have
currently demonstrated economic viability. Historical reserve estimates do not
meet the CIM Definition Standards for a Mineral Reserve as referred to in
Section 1.2 of the National Instrument 43-101, as they have not been
demonstrated by at least a Preliminary Feasibility Study. A full review of all
historic data by a qualified person, including quality assessment of results,
possibly with additional drilling, would likely be necessary to bring the
resource into compliance with National Instrument 43-101.


The ground is located within the Grenville metasedimentary belt of rocks which
have hosted several historic graphite mines and numerous graphite occurrences.
The general host geology of the Asbury Graphite mine is crystalline
limestone/marble, pegmatites and quartzites.


Terms of the acquisition have Cavan making cumulative payments of $75,000 and
issuing one million common shares of the Company over 2 years. A 2% NSR will
also be issued with the option to purchase back 1% for $1 million. A finder's
fee will be payable on this transaction. This transaction is subject to TSX
Venture approval. 


The technical contents of this release were approved by Marvin Mitchell, P.
Eng., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.


Cavan Venture's mission is to identify, acquire, and advance high potential
mining prospects located in North America for the benefit of its stakeholders.
