=======================================================================

London, England, Arian Silver ("Arian" or the "Company") a silver
exploration and development company with a focus on projects in the
silver belt of Mexico, is pleased to update shareholders on the
progression of its San Jos� Property, Zacatecas state, Central Mexico.


Key Points

.. Completion of acquisition of 100% of San Jos� Property in Mexico;
.. San Jos� Property progresses towards production;
.. Strong balance sheet following recent over-subscribed Cdn$3.5m
Private Placement;
.. Successful unwinding of the major shareholding position of Grafton
Resource Investments Ltd; and
.. Aggressive 2010 marketing drive to investment and partner community.

Commenting on today's statement, Arian's Chief Executive Officer, Jim
Williams, said: "This is an exciting time for Arian. After a
challenging 2009, the start of 2010 has so far worked in our favour
with the successful unwinding of Grafton Resource's shareholding
position in the Company, the successful closing of an over-subscribed
private placement financing, the outright purchase of our key San Jos�
Property, and the signing of a definitive option agreement with
Geologix Explorations for the disposal of our Tepal Project. All
efforts remain focused on getting San Jos� into production as soon as
possible, and we look forward to updating shareholders in due course on
developments in this respect."

Update on the San Jos� Property
Following the recent news regarding the Company's completed and
over-subscribed Cdn$3.5 million non-brokered Private Placement, Arian
announces that it has concluded the acquisition of the remaining 33.33%
interest in the San Jos� Property to take its ownership interest to
100%.

Arian's final payment of US$500,000 (plus IVA) has been paid to the
underlying vendors and the acquisition contracts have been executed,
notarized and are in the process of being registered with the
appropriate Mexican authorities.

A 2% Net Smelter Return remains payable to the vendors of the San Jos�
Property.

Progressing towards Production
All necessary permits are in place and the Company's efforts will
remain focused on pushing the San Jos� Property into production.
Contracts for the proposed initial contract mining and custom milling
operations are currently being finalized. Road upgrading has already
begun within the mine site area to ease the movement of heavy plant
away from local built-up areas and minimize any environmental impact.

The parameters of the initial contract mining and custom milling
operations are set out in the Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared
by A.C.A. Howe International Limited dated 22 June, 2009. A copy of
this report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment Report (PEAR) on
the San Jos� Silver-Lead-Zinc Deposit, Zacatecas, Mexico" is available
on the Company's website www.ariansilver.com or on SEDAR at

Aggressive 2010 Marketing Plan
Following January's significant achievements, Arian is now well
positioned to be taking an aggressive approach to its corporate
marketing activities. The Company announces the recent engagement of
Yellow Jersey PR to spearhead the public relations and marketing
programme in the United Kingdom. CHF Investor Relations will continue
to lead the investor and public relations programme in Canada.

About the Company
Arian is a silver exploration and development company and is listed on
London's AIM; trades on London's "PLUS" market; is listed on Toronto's
TSX Venture Exchange and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Arian is
active in Mexico, the world's second largest silver producing country.
The Company's main projects are the Calicanto and San Jos� projects in
Zacatecas State. Arian's Tepal project in Michoac�n State is subject to
an exclusive purchase option to Geologix Explorations Inc. Part of
Arian's forward-looking strategy lies in the envisaged use of large

which reduces the overall unit operating cost of metals, and to build
up NI 43-101 compliant resources.
