TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 11, 2015) - Khan Resources Inc. (CSE:KRI) ("Khan" or "the Company") announced today that it has filed its financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the year ended September 30, 2015 on SEDAR and has posted these documents to its website www.khanresources.com.

Highlights for the year include:

International arbitration award - On March 2, 2015 the international arbitration tribunal rendered an award to Khan as compensation for the Government of Mongolia's illegal actions in relation to the cancellation of Khan's uranium licenses in 2009. As of the date of the approval of this MD&A, December 10, 2015, the award aggregates to approximately $105.6 million (US) with interest currently accruing at a rate of 2.78% or $7,256 per day (US). In Canadian dollars at December 10, the value of the total award was $144 million.

On June 12, 2015 the Company filed a petition for confirmation of its international arbitration award in the US District Court in the District of Columbia. Mongolia responded to the petition by filing on September 4, 2015 a motion to dismiss or stay the Company's petition. These were followed by memoranda by the Company and by Mongolia on September 29 and October 13 respectively in support of the corresponding arguments. In addition, Mongolia has requested a verbal hearing of the arguments. The Judge on the case has not yet made any rulings. When confirmed, the award will be executable in the US as a court judgement and the Company can begin a process of seizure of non-immune Mongolian sovereign assets in the US. In a case with a number of parallels to Khan's case, the US District Court granted on November 20, 2015 Gold Reserve Inc.'s petition to confirm their international arbitration award against Venezuela for the expropriation of Gold Reserve's gold concessions. Gold Reserve's petition was filed approximately six months prior to Khan's petition.

On July 9, 2015, the Government of Mongolia filed a notice in the French Court of Appeal in Paris for annulment of the international arbitration Award. The Government of Mongolia filed their arguments in support of the annulment on December 9, 2015. The Company's counsel is currently reviewing those arguments and has until April 9, 2016 to file the defense.

A meeting was held in early December with representatives of the Government of Mongolia to discuss the outstanding obligations of the Government of Mongolia.

During the year ended September 30, 2015 the Company received proceeds of $726,000 from the exercise of share options by its directors, officers and employees.
