VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 2, 2009) - SKANA Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SKN) ("SKANA") announces that the proposed acquisition by SKANA of Bus and Coach International ("BCI") has been terminated.

Because the BCI transaction has been terminated, all of the funds raised in SKANA's subscription receipt financing completed in October and the interest earned on such funds while held in escrow will be returned to the subscribers.

SKANA intends to continue its activities as a merchant bank and refocus its attention on resource based opportunities. SKANA has approximately $10 million in uncommitted cash and a further $6 million in marketable securities at its disposal to back up its immediate search for new opportunities.
