Khan Files Year End 2011 Financial Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 19, 2011) - Khan Resources Inc. (TSX: KRI) ("Khan" or "the Company") announced today that it has filed its financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and annual information form for the year ended September 30, 2011 on SEDAR and has posted these documents to its website www.khanresources.com.

Highlights for the year include:

--  Net loss for the year ended Sep. 30, 2011 was $3,757,000 or $0.07 per
    share compared to a net loss of $4,130,000 or $0.08 per share for the
    same period in 2010.


--  Activities related to the International Arbitration action against the
    Government of Mongolia accelerated during summer and fall of 2011. The
    action was initiated in January 2011 and the presiding Tribunal was
    formally constituted on May 9, 2011. A first procedural hearing was held
    on June 21, 2011. A second hearing was held on September 19, 2011 to
    decide whether the overall process would involve a single phase hearing
    all aspects of the action or would be split into two hearings: a first
    phase to hear jurisdictional matters followed by phase to hear the
    merits of the case. In late September, Khan and the Government of
    Mongolia jointly agreed to the two phase approach and the jurisdictional
    aspects are scheduled to be heard in May 2012.


--  In August 2010, Khan initiated a lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court
    of Justice against Atomredmetzoloto JSC ("ARMZ") claiming $300 million
    in damages for ARMZ's breach of fiduciary duties, unlawful interference
    in Khan's economic relations and damages to Khan's rights, property and
    reputation. Through a number of procedural delays, including invoking
    the Hague Convention claiming the lawsuit was an issue of Russian
    sovereignty or security, ARMZ avoided being served for a period of time.
    However, on October 31, 2011 Khan announced that it had obtained an
    order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice validating service on
    Atomredmetzoloto JSC ("ARMZ") in respect of the lawsuit. ARMZ has
    appealed the decision and the appeal will be heard on January 24, 2012.


--  Following the earthquake/tsunami in Japan, the share prices of most
    uranium companies have declined significantly. As a result, Khan's
    investment in Macusani Yellowcake Inc. declined to $2,160,000 compared
    to the cost base for the investment of $4,339,000. Macusani raised funds
    in March 2011 (Khan subscribed for 3 million units) and is currently
    conducting a further drill program on its properties in Peru.

Khan Resources Inc. is a Canadian company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of uranium properties. Its current activities are focused on the Dornod uranium property in north-eastern Mongolia.
