Khan Files Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/12/11 -- Khan Resources Inc. (TSX: KRI) ('Khan' or 'the Company') announced today that it has filed its financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 on SEDAR and has posted these documents to its website www.khanresources.com.

Highlights for the third quarter include:

--  Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was $1,374,000
    or $0.02 per share compared to a net loss of $1,587,000 or $0.03 per
    share for the same period in 2010.

--  Net loss for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 was $2,344,000 or
    $0.04 per share compared to a net loss of $3,684,000 or $0.07 per share
    for the same period in 2010.

--  Activities related to the International Arbitration action against the
    Government of Mongolia accelerated during the third quarter with the
    formal constitution of the presiding Tribunal on May 9, 2011. A first
    procedural hearing was held on June 21, 2011. The second hearing is
    scheduled for September 19, 2011 to assess whether the action should be
    split into a jurisdictional component and a merit component or continue
    with a single combined jurisdictional/merit component.

--  The hearing on Khan's motion in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to
    dispense with or order substitute service in respect of its lawsuit
    against ARMZ was delayed by the court to allow ARMZ to cross-examine
    Khan's counsel. This took place in July and a new court date of
    September 7, 2011 has now been set to hear Khan's original motion.

--  Following the earthquake/tsunami in Japan, the share prices of most
    uranium companies has declined. As a result, Khan's investment in
    Macusani Yellowcake Inc. declined to $3,028,000 compared to the cost
    base for the investment of $4,339,000. With share prices for uranium
    companies now recovering and with Macusani's drill program in Peru
    having recommenced, Khan's investment in Macusani is expected to recover
    from the current depressed level.

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.
