Confidentiality and Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and similar Canadian
legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Khan Resources Inc. (“Khan”). Forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of uranium, the estimation of mineral resources, the realization of mineral resources estimates, the timing and
amount of estimated future production, costs of completing recommended work programs, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of the deposits,
success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, ability to continue as a going concern, competition, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional
capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, outcome of legal proceedings, political instability, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title
disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such
as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or
variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-
looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or
achievements of Khan to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: general business,
economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; risks related to international operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of
reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of uranium, grade or recovery
rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining
governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, as well as those in the NI 43-101 report by Aker Solutions, dated April
22, 2009, and the Annual Information Form (AIF) dated as of December 12, 2008. Although Khan has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Khan does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Disclosure with respect to mineral resources contained in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian
Securities Administrators. Readers should refer to the NI 43-101 report by Aker Solutions, dated April 22, 2009 all of which are available at www.sedar.com, for this

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: This presentation uses the terms “Measured”,
“Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their
economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian
rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume
that all or any part of Inferred Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Measured or Indicated Resources or into Mineral Reserves. United States
investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
