Editors' note:

About Ariana Resources

Ariana   is  an  exploration  and  development  company  focused  on  epithermal
gold-silver  and  porphyry  copper-gold  deposits  in  Turkey.   The  Company is
exploring  a  portfolio  of  prospective  licences  selected on the basis of its
in-house  geological and remote-sensing  database, on its  own in western Turkey
and in Joint Venture with European Goldfields Limited in north-eastern Turkey.

The  Company's flagship assets are its  Sindirgi and Tavsan gold projects.  Both
projects  contain  a  series  of  prospects,  within  two  prolific  mineralised
districts  in the WesternAnatolian  Volcanic and Extensional  (WAVE) Province in
western  Turkey.  This Province hosts the largest operating gold mines in Turkey
and  remains highly prospective for new porphyry and epithermal deposits.  These
core  projects, which are  separated by a  distance of 75km, are presently being
assessed  as  to  their  economic  merits.   The total resource inventory of the
Company stands at 401,000 ounces of gold equivalent.

Loeb  Aron  &  Company  Ltd.  and  Alexander  David Securities Limited are joint
brokers  to the Company and Beaumont  Cornish Limited is the Company's Nominated
Adviser.
