VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 10, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- CAVAN VENTURES INC. (TSX VENTURE: CVN) ("Cavan" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of the CAGE claims, adjoining the Albany graphite deposit that is presently under advanced exploration by Zenyatta Ventures Ltd.

Zenyatta recently announced several significant intersections of graphite mineralization, including five holes with 146m of 5.2% Cg, 177m of 5.3% Cg, 186m of 4.9% Cg, and 125m of 4.6% Cg, respectively (see Zenyatta Ventures news release, July 2, 2013).
The CAGE claims are contiguous, covering an area of 768 hectares (1,897 acres), and adjoining the eastern edge of the Albany graphite property.

The magnetic low will be investigated through reconnaissance prospecting and sampling that is planned to take place in the coming weeks.
