Khan Receives Favourable Ruling From Mongolian Appeal Court

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/27/10 -- Khan Resources Inc. (TSX: KRI) ('Khan' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that the Company has now received a favourable written decision of the Mongolian appellate court in respect of the appeal requested by the Mongolian Nuclear Energy Agency ('NEA') of the July 19, 2010 decision of the Capital City Administrative Court.

The July ruling of the administrative court declared that the notices issued by the NEA purporting to invalidate the mining license held by Khan's 58% owned joint venture subsidiary, Central Asian Uranium Company, LLC ('CAUC'), were themselves illegal and invalid. The appellate court ruling, while containing some variations, substantially upheld the earlier administrative court ruling. The NEA has a right to appeal the appellate court ruling within 30 days.

Khan notes that in August 2010, the Capital City Administrative Court rendered a decision, similar to their July ruling, in favour of Khan's 100% owned subsidiary, Khan Mongolia. This August decision was uncontested by the NEA.

Mr. Grant Edey, President and CEO of Khan, commented 'We are pleased with the ruling by the appellate court. We now trust the NEA will move forward with re-registering our licenses under the Mongolian Nuclear Energy Act, or will provide just cause as to why not, all as prescribed by the laws of Mongolia.'

In November, 2009, the Company submitted detailed applications for re-registration of the mining and exploration licenses as required by the Nuclear Energy Act. To date, the licenses have not been re-registered, even though Khan believes that it meets all of the re-registration criteria.

Khan continues to believe that it and its Mongolian subsidiaries have always operated in compliance with applicable Mongolian laws. If re-registration of its licenses continues to be obstructed, the Company intends to pursue all legally available means of redress.

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.
