Khan Responds to NEA Published Statements Concerning its Licenses

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 12, 2010) - Khan Resources Inc. (TSX:KRI) ("Khan") announced today that the Mongolian Nuclear Energy Agency (the "NEA") has published a notice in certain Mongolian newspapers that it does not intend to reinstate Khan's exploration license 9282X and mining license 237A (the "Licenses") held through its subsidiaries Khan Resources LLC and Central Asian Uranium Company, LLC, respectively.

While the NEA has not officially replied directly to Khan's requests for the NEA's determination of Khan's applications to re-register the Licences under the Nuclear Energy Law, which were filed a year ago, these published reports suggest that the NEA has officially determined that "it is impossible" for the NEA to reinstate the Licenses on the basis of alleged violations of certain Mongolian laws. Khan continues to believe that there exists no legal basis for the NEA to refuse to reinstate and re-register its Licenses.

Khan intends to challenge the NEA's actions through all legally available means and intends to pursue all available remedies to vigorously defend its and its subsidiaries' rights and interests, including by proceeding to international arbitration.

Khan Resources Inc. (TSX:KRI) is a Canadian company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of uranium properties. Its current activities are focused on the Dornod area in northeastern Mongolia. Khan holds interests in the Main Dornod Property and in the Additional Dornod Property.
