   About Ariana Resources: 
 
   Ariana is an Anglo-Turkish exploration and mine development company 
focused on advancing epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper-gold 
deposits in Turkey.  The Company is developing 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 Eldorado Gold Corporation in north-eastern Turkey. 
Eldorado owns 51% of this joint venture and are fully funding all 
exploration work on the JV properties, while Ariana owns 49%.  The total 
resource inventory within this JV is 1.09 million ounces of gold. 
 
   The Company's flagship assets are its Kiziltepe and Tavsan gold projects 
that form the Red Rabbit Gold Project.  Both contain a series of 
prospects, within two prolific mineralised districts in the Western 
Anatolian 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 and now form part 
of a Joint Venture with Proccea Construction Co.  The total resource 
inventory at the Red Rabbit Project stands at 475,000 ounces of gold 
equivalent. 
 
   Beaufort Securities Limited and Loeb Aron & Company Ltd. are joint 
brokers to the Company and Beaumont Cornish Limited is the Company's 
Nominated Adviser. 
 
   For further information on Ariana you are invited to visit the Company's
