TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/26/12 -- Khan Resources Inc. (CNSX: KRI) ("Khan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Tribunal hearing the Company's $200 million international arbitration action against the Government of Mongolia has ruled entirely in Khan's favour on matters of jurisdiction and has dismissed all of Mongolia's objections to the continuance of the suit.

Khan initiated the international arbitration suit in January, 2011.

Mr. Grant Edey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Khan, commented, "We are pleased that the Tribunal has validated Khan's initiatives to achieve recourse to damages suffered by our shareholders. Our treasury is well-funded and we will continue to vigorously pursue this action to its logical end to receive value for our investments in Mongolia."

Khan will immediately commence preparatory activities for the upcoming merits/damages phase of the proceedings.
