             Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2017 
 
Arian Silver Corporation ("Arian" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its 
financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2017. 
 
Jim Williams, Chief Executive of Arian, commented: "Our strategy is to create a 
portfolio of primarily lithium, silver and gold exploration projects, 
principally in Mexico. 
 
The investment case for lithium is well understood given the expected demand 
for energy storage in the automotive and housing sectors. This demand for the 
metal is expected to grow and be sustained, which makes this an ideal time to 
have moved into the sector. 
 
The region in Mexico in which Arian has been operating for many years is 
already known to host some large lithium deposits, and we are presently seeking 
out similar prospective mining concessions. As announced earlier today, we have 
withdrawn from exploring a group of projects under option, which although they 
confirmed consistency of lithium grades, did not contain the higher grades 
known to be attainable in the region. 
 
With regards to Arian's portfolio of silver projects, these contain some very 
promising targets which we are keen to retain and explore further once the 
silver price has demonstrated sustainability at higher levels." 
 
Strategy 
 
Arian's objective is to create a portfolio of primarily lithium, silver and 
gold exploration projects, principally in Mexico. 
 
The group has operated in Mexico for over ten years during which time it has 
established long-term relationships with local government, communities, and key 
stakeholders. Arian's geological experts assess and identify projects for 
potential mineralisation. Wherever possible, the Company will seek to enter 
into agreements whereby Arian has the option to acquire projects, allowing 
preliminary exploration work to be undertaken whilst minimising any financial 
commitment. 
 
Where preliminary studies evidence sufficient mineralisation, increasingly 
comprehensive studies will be undertaken with a view to delineating a compliant 
mineral resource estimate in readiness of potential sale of the asset to a 
producing mining company, at which time a significant premium over its 
acquisition and development cost may be justified. 
 
Financial highlights 
 
As at 30 June 2017, the Company had total assets of US$1.5 million (2016: 
US$2.2 million) of which US$0.9 million (2016: US$1.2 million) was cash. The 
Company had total liabilities of US$0.1 million (2016: US$0.1 million) of which 
US$0.1 million were current liabilities (2016: US$0.1 million). 
 
In the six months ended 30 June 2017 the Company made an operating loss of 
US$0.7 million (2016: US$0.9 million) and a loss per share of US$0.003 (2016: 
US$0.006). The Company raised proceeds by way of private placings of shares of 
US$0.8 million before costs and expenses, to further its strategy. 
 
Overview of operations 
 
During the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Company carried out a high level 
exploration programme over its portfolio of silver mining concessions covering 
an area of over approximately 1,500 hectares, to develop and direct future 
exploration work, the findings of which are set out in more detail below. 
 
Properties 
 
As at 30 June 2017, the Company fully owned 12 silver mining concessions 
covering an area of approximately 1,500 hectares. During the six months ended 
30 June 2017, Arian acquired an option over three lithium mining concessions 
covering approximately 1,600 hectares for consideration of US$200,000, payable 
in instalments up to March 2018. 
 
In light of assay results from the initial auger drill programme received after 
the period end, in September 2017, the Company will not undertake any further 
exploration work on these projects and will seek to negotiate an extension to 
the option agreement. 
 
Silver projects 
 
Los Campos project 
 
The Los Campos project comprises four concessions covering an area of 
approximately 500 hectares, located on the south side of the city of Zacatecas. 
The property is easily accessible and is only a 15-minute drive from the centre 
of the City of Zacatecas and from the Calicanto project. 
 
San Celso project 
 
San Celso consists of three contiguous mining concessions totalling 88 
hectares. The concessions are located in the historic mining district of 
Pánfilo Natera-Ojocaliente and are surrounded by other concessions to the south 
and west. 
 
Calicanto project 
 
The Calicanto property, the sale of which was completed in February 2017, 
consists of seven contiguous mining concessions totalling approximately 75 
hectares. The property is located in the heart of the Zacatecas mining 
district, adjacent and partly contiguous to Capstone Mining's Cozamin mine, and 
covers four known main vein systems. 
 
Other silver projects 
 
Arian Silver holds five additional silver mining concessions covering over 900 
hectares. These concessions were acquired in 2006 because of their strategic 
position to the San Celso project. These concessions too require further 
exploratory work to fully assess their economic potential. 
 
Lithium projects 
 
Initial sampling at the three lithium projects held under option evidenced 
lithium grades of up to 0.016% (160 parts per million). 
 
Pozo Hondo 
 
The Pozo Hondo project is the largest of the projects at almost 1,100 hectares 
in size and covers one salar, the Laguna El Salado. 
 
Columpio 
 
The Columpio project is almost 400 hectares in size, encompassing two salars, 
Laguna Tenango and Laguna La Virgen, approximately 24km from the town of Villa 
de Cos. 
 
Abundancia 
 
The Abundancia project is 150 hectares in size and encompasses the Laguna Noria 
del Burro salar, approximately 40km from the town of Villa de Cos. 
 
Post balance sheet events 
 
On 13 July 2017, the Company announced a fundraise of GBP600,000 before expenses 
through the private placing for 0.5p each, of 120 million units, each 
comprising one Common share in the capital of the Company and one warrant 
exercisable to receive one Common share in the capital of the Company at 0.6p 
each. Admission of the Placing Shares became effective at 8:00am on 27 July 
2017. 
 
Future outlook 
 
The expected increase in demand for lithium has significantly improved the 
economic potential for mining companies with access to good quality lithium 
assets. Arian is focussed on identifying new lithium prospects predominantly 
within the Zacatecas region of Mexico. 
 
The review of the Company's silver mining concessions resulted in the 
identification of good opportunities for the future exploration of those assets 
once the silver price has demonstrated sustainability at higher levels, the 
disposal of one silver project, and the absence of a need for any impairment. 
 
Management continue to work towards the identification of additional 
opportunities to expand and develop the Company's mining assets, with a 
particular focus on assets giving access to near-term revenues.

Arian Silver Corporation 
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Information (Unaudited) 
 
For the six months ended 30 June 2017 
 
(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise stated) 
 
1.    Basis of preparation, going concern and adequacy of project finance 
 
These interim unaudited consolidated financial information for Arian Silver 
Corporation ("ASC" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards. 
 
ASC is a company domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. The consolidated 
financial information of the Company comprise financial information of the 
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Group 
is primarily involved in the exploration and development of mineral resource 
assets. 
 
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of 
the interim unaudited consolidated financial information are the same as those 
described in the Company's audited consolidated financial information and notes 
thereto for the year ended 31 December 2016. In the opinion of the management, 
the interim unaudited consolidated financial information include all 
adjustments considered necessary for fair and consistent presentation of 
financial information. These interim unaudited consolidated financial 
information should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial 
statements and notes for the year ended 31 December 2016. 
 
These consolidated financial information are presented in United States dollars 
as the Company believes it to be the most appropriate and meaningful currency 
for investors. The functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries 
are pounds sterling, Mexican peso and United States dollars. 
 
The financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis. The 
directors regularly review cash flow forecasts to determine whether the Group 
has sufficient cash reserves to meet future working capital requirements and 
discretionary business development opportunities including exploration 
activities. 
 
On 8 June 2017, the Company successfully raised gross proceeds of US$775,000 (GBP 
600,000) by issuing 120,000,000 common shares at 0.5 pence each. 
 
The Group's assets are at an early stage and in order to meet financing 
requirements for their development previously the Company has raised equity 
funds in several discrete share placements, which is a common practice for 
junior mineral exploration companies. Although the Company has been successful 
in the past in raising equity finance, there can be no assurance that the 
funding required by the Group will be made available to it when needed or, if 
such funding were to be available, that it would be offered on reasonable 
terms. The terms of such financing might not be favourable to the Group and 
might involve substantial dilution to existing shareholders. 
 
The directors currently believe that the Group has adequate resources for the 
foreseeable future or access to such resources in order to continue to prepare 
the Company's financial information on a going concern basis. In reaching this 
conclusion, the directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts to the end of July 
2018 and considered their ability to reduce expenditure in the event that 
further fundraisings are not completed within that timeframe, and have 
concluded they can make such savings as may be necessary in order to operate 
within the funds currently available to them. 
 
2.    Intangible assets - deferred exploration and evaluation costs 
 
The Group's deferred exploration and evaluation costs comprise costs directly 
incurred in exploration and evaluation as well as the cost of maintaining 
mineral licences. They are capitalised as intangible assets pending the 
determination of the feasibility of the project. When the decision is taken to 
develop a mine, the related intangible assets are transferred to property, 
plant and equipment. Where a project is abandoned or is determined not 
economically viable, the related costs are written off. 
 
The recoverability of deferred exploration and evaluation costs is dependent 
upon a number of factors common to the natural resource sector. These include 
the extent to which the Group can establish economically recoverable reserves 
on its properties, the ability of the Group to obtain necessary financing to 
complete the development of such reserves and future profitable production or 
proceeds from the disposition thereof. 
 
Intangible assets for the six months ended 30 June 2017 are detailed in the 
following table and relate entirely to deferred exploration and development 
costs:

The opening balance for 30 June 2016 has been restated because upon review of 
licences in prior year, directors identified 4 licences relating to the San 
Jose project, which were discontinued in 2015. Therefore, the loss on 
discontinued operations in 2015 was restated, increasing by $69,000, with 
intangible assets and equity decreasing by the same amount. 
 
3.    Available-for-sale investment 
 
Investments classified as available-for-sale comprise the Group's investments 
in entities not qualifying as subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled 
entities. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value, other than 
those arising due to exchange rate fluctuations and interest calculated using 
the effective interest rate, recognised in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated in the available-for-sale reserve. Exchange differences on 
investments denominated in a foreign currency and interest calculated using the 
effective interest rate method are recognised in profit or loss.  The 
available-for-sale investments held at period end are held at cost as 
management consider it representative of fair value. 
 
4.    Share capital and reserves 
 
Share capital 
 
The Company is authorised to issue an unlimited number of common shares of no 
par value. 
 
Changes in share capital for the six months ended 30 June 2017 are as follows:

issued during the period was incorrectly charged to the income statement, 
instead of being charged to share capital. Accordingly share capital was 
restated to include a charge of $1.3m.

exercisable at 0.76 US cents (0.6p) per common share, until 8 June 2019. 
 
Upon review, it was determined that the fair value of the warrants issued 
during the period was incorrectly calculated as US$2.8m and should have been 
US$1.3m. Accordingly the balance of the warrant reserve for the six-month 
period ended 30 June 2016 has been restated. 
 
Fair value of Warrants and assumptions 
 
The estimate of the fair value of the Warrants is measured based on the 
Black-Scholes model. The following inputs were used in the calculation of the 
fair value of the warrants granted.

Siberian Goldfields Ltd ("SGL") 
 
On 24 September 2013 the Company acquired an option for US$200,000 to conduct 
due diligence on SGL and its mineral properties, with a view to ASC undertaking 
a potential equity transaction or other corporate transaction or investment 
with SGL ("Transaction"). On 27 November 2013, ASC gave notice to SGL of its 
election not to proceed with a Transaction. 
 
The option grant fee was repayable by SGL to ASC together with interest payable 
at a rate of 10% per annum in the event that ASC elects not to proceed with a 
Transaction. On 21 April 2017 the outstanding debt owed by SGL was settled 
through the issue of 2 million SGL shares representing 0.70% of the issued 
share capital of SGL. These were subsequently exchanged for 881,077 ordinary 
shares (representing 0.35% of the issued share capital) of Siberian Goldfields 
Ltd ("SGL UK"), a UK registered company. The Company's interest in the 
underlying Siberian Goldfields project remains unchanged as a consequence of 
the restructuring from SGL to SGL UK. 
 
As at 30 June 2017 the investment in SGL UK is shown as an investment held for 
sale in the statement of financial position. 
 
As at 21 April 2017, interest accrued during the period ended 30 June 2017
