Arian Silver Can Boost Silver Recoveries Says Independent Metallurgical Report

Arian Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Arian") (TSX
VENTURE:AGQ)(AIM:AGQ)(FRANKFURT:I3A),  a silver exploration, development and
production company with a focus on projects in the silver belt of Mexico, is
pleased to announce that it has received positive results from an independent
metallurgical report as part of its plan to construct and operate a new custom
plant and milling facility at its 100% owned San Jose operation in Zacatecas,
Mexico.


The report has been compiled by Maelgwyn Mineral Services Limited ("Maelgwyn"),
of the United Kingdom, with support from their subsidiary in the Republic of
South Africa. Maelgwyn carried out a series of detailed metallurgical tests
under laboratory conditions from samples of run of mine ("ROM") material from
the current operational mining areas at San Jose.


The large (approximately 1 tonne) sample, which was taken from the San Jose
mine's 110 metre ("m") level (110 m below surface), is representative of the
current working depth, although it was reportedly partially oxidised in nature.
However, recoveries in the order of 80% were still achieved using a process of
"Leach-Ox" (direct leaching of the ROM material). The report further suggests
there is significant upside potential to improve the recoveries of silver with
the addition of flotation within the mill circuit to process the deeper seated,
less oxidised / more sulphide rich material.


Arian's Chief Executive Officer, Jim Williams, commented today, "We are very
pleased with these detailed, albeit initial, metallurgical results in support of
a planned customised milling facility at San Jose. Test work on the partially
oxidised sample, which represents quite a significant portion of the current and
past mining plan at San Jose, has demonstrated that a recovery of 80% is
achievable and there is further significant upside on this with the addition of
flotation for the more sulphide-rich, deeper seated material."


He further adds, "The permitting process, on the assumption such a facility will
be constructed, is progressing well, and no negative sentiment in relation to
this has so far been received. The proposed mill site, which has already been
purchased, covers some 32 hectares of land and is located approximately 3
kilometres from the main San Jose portal (ramp) entrance. In addition, not only
does the test work to date indicate a substantial improvement in metal
recoveries from the previous toll mill but significant cost savings will be made
on transportation of the ROM material."


As previously reported it is anticipated Arian will resume trial mining and toll
milling very soon at a refurbished toll mill near the City of Zacatecas which is
nearing completion.
