Russia Refuses to Serve ARMZ in Litigation Claim

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/07/11 -- On August 20, 2010, Khan Resources Inc. (TSX: KRI) ('Khan') announced that it had filed a statement of claim against Atomredmetzoloto JSC ('ARMZ') and its affiliate JSC Priargunsky Industry Mining and Chemical Union, with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The claim was brought by Khan and certain of its subsidiaries and sought damages from ARMZ and its affiliate in the total amount of CDN$300 million. (See Khan press release August 20, 2010).

ARMZ is a Russian state-owned enterprise. Accordingly, Canadian and international procedure calls for service of the claim against ARMZ to be effected through the Russian Ministry of Justice. To further this end, the statement of claim was translated into Russian and presented to the Ministry of Justice on October 28, 2010 for service to ARMZ.

The Russian Ministry of Justice has notified Khan that it refuses to effect service on ARMZ, citing Article 13 of the Hague Convention. Article 13 provides that 'the State addressed may refuse to comply therewith only if it deems that compliance would infringe its sovereignty or security'.

Mr. Grant Edey, President and CEO of Khan, commented 'We are disappointed that such extraordinary measures have been resorted to in order to shield ARMZ from commercial litigation. We are not deterred by this temporary road block and we are considering alternate methods of rendering service to ARMZ'.

Khan intends to continue to vigorously defend its rights and interests, including pursuing all available rights and remedies in Canada, Mongolia and elsewhere.

Khan Resources Inc. (TSX: KRI) 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.
