TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 3, 2012) - Khan Resources Inc. (News - Market indicators) ("Khan" or the "Company") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") is reviewing the Company's Common Shares with respect to meeting the requirements for continued listing pursuant to their Expedited Review Process. The review of Khan's compliance with the TSX's continuing listing standards is a direct result of the Company putting their Dornod uranium project in Mongolia on a care and maintenance status and initiating an international arbitration action for US$200 million in January 2011 against the Government of Mongolia and its state-owned uranium company, MonAtom LLC.
On April 2, 2012, the Company received a letter from the Compliance and Disclosure Department of the TSX. The letter states that the TSX is reviewing the Company with respect to the following continued listing criteria: 1) ceased to be actively engaged in ongoing business, 2) did not spend at least $350,000 on exploration and/or development work in the most recent year, and 3) discontinued or materially changed the nature of its business.
A hearing on the issue is scheduled for April 10, 2012. There can be no assurance that the Company meets the continued listing requirements of the TSX and as a result the Company is actively pursuing a listing on the Canadian National Stock Exchange ("CNSX") to facilitate an orderly transition of trading activity in the event of a negative decision.
Khan Resources Inc. (News - Market indicators) is a Canadian company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of uranium properties. Its current activities are focused on the Dornod area in northeastern Mongolia.
