Khan Files First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/09/12 -- 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 months ended December 31, 2011 on SEDAR and has posted these documents to its website www.khanresources.com.

Highlights for the quarter include:

--  The Company's interim financial statements have been prepared for the
    first time in accordance with IFRS and in Canadian dollars. Comparative
    statements, previously prepared in US$ under Canadian Generally Accepted
    Accounting Principles ('GAAP'), have been adjusted for changes in the
    functional and reporting currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries
    and other IFRS adjustments.

--  The net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 was
    $932,000 or $0.02 per share compared to a net loss of $300,000 or $0.01
    per share for the same period in 2010.

--  Activities related to the International Arbitration action against the
    Government of Mongolia were lower for the three month period ending
    December 31, 2011 following the hearing held in September, 2011 on
    scheduling and procedural matters. Activities have now resumed to a high
    level in this current second quarter as submissions to the Arbitration
    Tribunal are required in advance of the jurisdictional hearing scheduled
    for May, 2012. An eight binder submission in support of the Company's
    position on jurisdictional matters was made to the Tribunal on February
    3, 2012. The Company remains confident of a favourable outcome to the
    arbitration action.

--  On October 31, 2011, the Company announced that it had obtained an order
    of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice validating service on
    Atomredmetzoloto JSC ('ARMZ') in respect of its $300 million lawsuit
    against that company. ARMZ appealed the decision and the appeal was
    heard on January 24, 2012. The parties are now awaiting the decision of
    the appeal court.

--  Khan holds 15.5 million common shares of Macusani Yellowcake Inc.
    ('Macusani') which represents 14.4% of the 107.8 million Macusani common
    shares outstanding. On February 3, 2012, Macusani announced that they
    had entered into a merger agreement with Southern Andes Energy Inc.
    ('Southern Andes') pursuant to which Macusani will acquire all of the
    outstanding common shares of Southern Andes. The proposed merger is
    subject to the approval of Macusani shareholders. The proposed merger
    will increase the number of Macusani common shares to 169.8 million,
    reducing Khan's interest in Macusani to 9.2%. Khan intends to vote its
    shareholding in Macusani against the proposed merger due to substantial
    dilution of its interest without clear benefits.

--  In January, 2012, the Company announced that it had received an
    information request from the Toronto Stock Exchange ('TSX') in respect
    of whether or not the Company continues to meet the listing requirements
    of that exchange. The Company has not yet received a formal response
    from the TSX but anticipates that the exchange will render a narrow
    interpretation of its rules and guidelines. As such, the Company has
    initiated detailed discussions for listing on an alternate exchange to
    pursue an orderly transition.

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.
