Arian Silver's Continuing Exploration Drilling Intercepts High-Grade Silver at San Jose
LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwire - April 4, 2011) - Arian Silver Corporation ("Arian" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:AGQ)(AIM:AGQ)(PLUS:AGQ)(FRANKFURT:I3A), a silver exploration, development and production company with a
focus on projects in the silver belt of Mexico, is pleased to report assay results from a further eleven holes
recently drilled at its 100%-owned San Jose Property in Zacatecas State, Mexico.
Highlights:
/T/
=- High-grade silver intersected in latest round of drilling;
=- Mineralisation intersected in 11 out of 12 holes;
=- A total of 32 holes completed for 7,626 metres ("m"), representing
approximately 76% of the Phase 3 drill programme; and
=- Mineralisation remains completely open along strike and depth.
/T/
Commenting on today's drilling update, Arian's Chief Executive Officer, Jim Williams, said:
"Once again everyone is highly encouraged by the latest results from our current phase of drilling along the
San Jose Vein ("SJV"). We continue to confirm the presence of significant silver mineralisation in a westerly
direction along the strike of the SJV with the latest batch of drill core results. We have now completed 32
holes, which represents approximately 76% of the current programme moving further west following the extensive
strike of the SJV. Once this current drill programme is complete, drilling will continue under a new programme.
We are now working to update our resources. An updated NI 43-101 estimate will be undertaken upon conclusion of
this 10,000m drill programme; in addition to drill data from this programme, much of the previously completed
Phase 2 drill programme will also be incorporated."
Drilling continues using two 'Longyear 44' drill rigs. Thirty-two drill holes have been completed to date for a
total of 7,626m. The latest batch of results is from eleven drill holes that were positioned west of the
village of Guanajuatillo and continue to confirm, as expected, the continuation of silver mineralisation along
the SJV in a westerly direction. Mineralised intercepts were assayed in all eleven drill holes and a selection
of these assayed intercepts includes:
/T/
=- Hole GW-11-007 comprising 1.10m with 265.2 g/t Ag with additional
mineralised intercepts further down the hole;
=- Hole GW-11-009 comprising 1.65m with 167.0 g/t Ag with additional
mineralised intercepts within the hole;
=- Hole GW-11-010 comprising 1.22m with 97.5 g/t Ag with additional
mineralised intercepts within the hole, including 0.73m with 406.1 g/t
Ag;
=- Hole GW-11-012 comprising 1.22m with 201.5 g/t Ag with additional
mineralised intercepts deeper within the hole;
=- Hole GW-11-014 comprising 3.99m with 201.7 g/t Ag and 1.36% Zn;
=- Hole GW-11-016 comprising 1.99m with 167.2 g/t Ag with additional
mineralisation further down the hole with 3.39m with 107.2 g/t Ag;
=- Hole GW-11-017 comprising 1.03m with 355.6 g/t Ag including 0.46m with
940 g/t Ag, and with additional mineralised intercepts further down the
hole, including 2.10m with 213.4 g/t Ag and 0.93m with 297.4 g/t Ag;

the SJV, are shown on the plans, which can be found at:

Further step-out and infill drilling is still concentrating in the area west of Guanajuatillo village and the
results of this drilling will be reported when received.
All technical information for the San Jose Project is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance
and quality control (QA / QC) programme. The core is logged and photographed by Arian staff and then split
using a diamond saw. Half the core is stored on-site in a secure core shed and the other half is labelled,
bagged and secured before transporting to Stewart Group's sample preparation facility in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Each sample has its own unique sample number. The entire half-core is crushed to minus 10 mesh and a half
kilogram riffle split is pulverized and homogenized to minus 200 mesh. The pulp samples are then air freighted
to Stewart Group's analytical laboratory in Canada for analysis. Systematic assaying of duplicates, blanks and
certified reference material is performed for precision and accuracy; quality procedures and processes are
continually reviewed and monitored with protocols in place to deal with any non-conformity. Stewart Group's
laboratories in Zacatecas, Mexico, and Kamloops, BC Canada are ISO 9001:2000 accredited.
Approximately 5% of the analysed samples are re-sampled and sent to ALS Chemex preparation facility in
Guadalajara, Mexico. The samples consist of both coarse reject samples as well as pulp samples. The coarse
material is crushed and pulverised according to the same protocol, and the pulp samples are air freighted to
ALS Chemex's analytical laboratories in Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Results from all duplicate analyses
are compared to identify potential analytical or sampling errors.
Stewart Group and ALS Chemex Laboratories are independent of Arian.
The samples were analysed for a multi element scan by aqua regia digestion and ICP (inductively coupled plasma)
finish. High-grade samples (greater than 200 g/t Ag) were re-analysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
