Khan Provides a Further Update on International Arbitration Award

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2015) - Khan Resources Inc. ("Khan" or the "Company") (CSE:KRI) provides this third update in response to media reports concerning the possible intentions of the Government of Mongolia in respect of the recent arbitration award in Khan's favour, in particular a possible intent to seek its annulment. The Company is not aware of any grounds that would justify the annulment of the award and believes that there would be a minimal chance of success for such an initiative. The award was rendered by a Tribunal consisting of three experienced and well-respected arbitrators, namely Dr. Bernard Hanotiau, the Honourable L. Yves Fortier, and Professor David A. R. Williams QC (as the Presiding Arbitrator). Khan will vigorously contest any such move and would not alter any strategy for enforcement of the award while such annulment process is in progress.

Khan has consistently sought an amicable solution to the full recognition of its rights under the binding results of the arbitration. This remains a preferred course of action. Khan will, in the next ten days, be in a position to publish the full text of the March 2, 2015 arbitration award and the July 25, 2012 decision on jurisdiction, an important step to add clarity and transparency to this issue.

Mr. Grant Edey, President and CEO of Khan, commented, "The Government of Mongolia's apparent intention of trying to set aside the award shows a desperate and short-sighted approach to settlement. Surveys have shown that there is a high degree of compliance with international arbitration awards and that states and state enterprises regularly comply voluntarily with arbitral awards. It is of course the Mongolian Government's decision as to whether they want to respect the rule of law and honour the Award, or join the small group of recalcitrant sovereigns who make attempts to avoid their international obligations."

On March 2, 2015 the international arbitration tribunal rendered the Award to Khan as compensation for the Government of Mongolia's illegal actions in relation to the cancellation and expropriation of Khan's uranium licenses in 2009. The award consisted of a Base Amount of US$80 million plus interest at LIBOR +2% (compounded annually) from July 1, 2009 to the time of payment. In addition, the Tribunal awarded costs of US$9.1 million in favour of Khan. As of April 23, the award aggregates to approximately US$104 million. Interest is currently accruing at a rate of 2.546% or US$6,485 per day.
