Adriana Resources Inc. ("Adriana" or the "Company") - TSX-V: ADI is pleased to announce the Company is restructuring to focus on becoming a fully integrated iron ore producer.

The Company has purchased a total of 771,818 square meters of land on the coast of Brazil for the development of an iron ore port facility (the purchase of the adjacent Lot 3 comprising 85,757 square meters is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2008.). The Company has developed key strategic relationships and established a world-class team of mining, port engineering, shipping and iron ore trading professionals to assist in advancing the Brazilian iron ore strategy. Adriana has commenced the engineering and permitting required to develop a port facility initially capable of handling 5 million tonnes per year of iron ore, ramping up to 50 million tonnes by year five through the accelerated development of a deep water port facility.

Adriana is in discussions for the construction of two 15,000 tonne Self-Unloading Transport Vessels ("STV's"), which will be used at the port facility to transport ore at an initial annual production rate of 5 million tonnes, ramping up to twenty million tonnes of iron ore per year. A corporate video is available on Adriana's website (www.adrianaresources.com) and provides an overview of the planned port facility.

Adriana's strategic relationship with Seabulk Systems ("Seabulk" - www.seabulk.com) and WorldLink Resources Ltd. ("WorldLink" - www.worldlink-group.com) has created a vertically integrated alliance for the delivery of iron ore from Brazil to China and Europe. Seabulk, a world leader in the development of large scale bulk mineral systems, port development and shipping solutions will be a key manager in the construction of the STV's and development of the Brazilian port facility. WorldLink, a private Chinese based integrated trading and shipping company, engaged in the import and export business of iron ore, coal and other dry bulk commodities will assist in the shipping of iron ore to China and in the development of off-take contracts with the end users in China, Asia and Europe.

Adriana is well positioned to capitalize on the restricted and captive iron ore market by offering a short and long term solution to the current and future Brazilian iron ore miners and end users, noting all existing port facilities are running at full capacity. Adriana plans to provide the solution to transport iron ore from within Brazil to China, Asia and Europe to meet the surging demands for iron ore in the steel industry. The majority of iron ore that will be processed through the port is anticipated to originate from the Iron Quadrangle region of Brazil, which is situated just north of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and contains some of the largest and highest grade underdeveloped iron ore deposits in the world.

Iron Ore Projects

The Company is presently evaluating iron ore projects based in Brazil with a view to obtaining an interest in iron ore development projects or mines.

The Company's Lac Otelnuk Iron Project located in Quebec, Canada is another key project that is expected to bring longevity to the iron supply side of the Company. The Company expects to be able to announce an update on the project in the near future detailing results from the drilling program that was completed in the fall of 2007. The Company is also investigating various opportunities to maximize shareholder value with the Mustavaara Vanadium-Iron-Titanium Project in Finland.

Project Spin-Out

Adriana has received board approval to spin out the MIE (Copper - Nickel - Platinum Group Elements) and the Bear Valley (Uranium) advanced exploration projects directly or indirectly into a new company to be named MIE Metals Corporation. The Company intends to list and have the shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange. Shareholders of Adriana are intended to receive shares of the new company by way of a dividend-in-kind transaction which, in the discretion of the Company will be structured in the manner determined in consultation with the Company's legal, financial and tax advisers.

About Adriana Resources Inc.

Adriana's goal is to become a fully integrated iron ore producer in Brazil through continued development of its iron ore port facility in Brazil, through acquisition of iron ore mineral resources in Brazil, and the advancement of the Lac Otelnuk Iron Project in Quebec, Canada.
