The   following   announcement   replaces  the  Issue  of  Equity  announcement,
HUG#1508595,  released  at  17.00 on  21 April  2011.  There was a typographical
error  in the first  paragraph and the  number of new  ordinary shares issued to
Rivington  Street Sales and Conferences Limited should have read 438,333 and not
483,333. All other text remains the same.

                                ISSUE OF EQUITY

                              TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

The  Board  of  Ariana  Resources  plc  ("Ariana"  or  "the  Company"), the gold
exploration and development company focused on Turkey, today announces the issue
of  438,333 new ordinary shares of 1p each in  the capital of the company at 6p
each  to Rivington Street Sales and Conferences Limited in settlement of certain
invoiced services.

Application  will be  made for  the new  ordinary shares,  which will  rank pari
passu,  with all  existing ordinary  shares, to  be admitted  to trading on AIM.
 Admission is expected to take place on or around 28 April 2011 ("Admission").

At  Admission, the Company's  issued share capital  will consist of 250,920,008
Ordinary  Shares with a nominal value  of 1p each, with voting rights ("Ordinary
Shares").  The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.  Therefore
the  total number of Ordinary  Shares in the Company  with voting rights will be
250,920,008.

The  above figure of 250,920,008 Ordinary Shares  may be used by shareholders in
the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine
if  they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest
in,  the share  capital of  the Company  under the Financial Service Authority's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
