Arian Resources Corp. announced, in association with Sinomine International Exploration (Hong Kong) Holding Co. Limited, that the results of the third core hole drilled at the Kacinar gold project are anticipated shortly.

Sinomine has optioned the Kacinar project from Arian and has the ability to earn up to a 60% interest in Arian's wholly owned subsidiary Jab Resources Shpk which holds the project. Arian has received results from the first two holes drilled from the current round of drilling at the Kacinar project. These holes unfortunately did not intersect the expected large sulphide-bearing intrusive interpreted from the induced polarization geophysical survey.

As such elevated gold values were not returned. Upon receipt of the results from the third hole Arian and Sinomine will review the results received to date to guide the future work on the project. The drill program is being funded by Sinomine and upon the expenditure of $1,000,000 Sinomine will have earned a 10% interest in Arian's subsidiary Jab which holds the project.

Kacinar Gold Project: Based on the geological, geochemical and geophysical results obtained to date, the company has unearthed what appears to be a new gold-bearing greenstone belt. Where suitable tectonic and intrusive activity has occurred greenstone belts can contain substantial gold deposits. Greenstone-hosted gold deposits currently provide over 13% of global gold production, with examples such as the Kirkland Lake, Malartic and Detour Lake mines within the Abitibi belt in Canada, the Tasiast mine in Mauritania, and the Fimiston mine in Kalgoorlie, Australia.
