KRIA RESOURCES' METALLURGICAL TEST RESULTS INDICATE HALFMILE LAKE PROJECT ORE IS COMPATIBLE WITH XSTRATA ZINC'S BRUNSWICK 12 MILLING FACILITY

Kria Resources Ltd. has released the results from metallurgical bench testwork for its Halfmile Lake project located near Bathurst, N.B. Over all, the results indicate the Halfmile Lake ore is similar to the ore at Xstrata's Brunswick 12 mill and it is compatible with the Brunswick 12 milling facility process.

As previously announced, Kria completed a drill program at the Halfmile Lake project (see news in Stockwatch May 26, 2010) in part to obtain fresh core samples for the purpose of conducting metallurgical bench testwork to simulate Xstrata's Brunswick 12 milling facility. These bench tests were used to determine recoveries and concentrate grades and to confirm amenability to the Brunswick 12 processing facility owned by Xstrata Zinc when the ore from Halfmile Lake is toll processed from the Halfmile Lake property.

Composites from Halfmile Lake and Brunswick ores were tested separately following the process flow sheet and reagent dosages and consumption supplied by Xstrata Zinc and used at Brunswick 12. The test results show that copper flotation kinetics is the same for the two composites from Halfmile Lake and Brunswick 12, while Halfmile composite lead and zinc flotation kinetics is generally faster compared with the Brunswick composite. In addition, two blended tests of Brunswick and Halfmile composites in the following manner, 80:20 and 90:10 have been completed, which indicate that Halfmile Lake ore is amenable to the Brunswick 12 process. A further two blend tests, representing current Brunswick 12 reagent consumptions, will be conducted. These additional blended composite tests will be complete in early September, 2010, which should confirm that the blends in the above ratios are compatible with the Brunswick 12 milling facility process and further validate that Halfmile Lake ore is amenable to Xstrata's Brunswick 12 process.

Kria announced in November, 2009, that it was in discussions with Xstrata Zinc to potentially use Xstrata's Brunswick 12 mill to toll process ore from Kria's Halfmile Lake property once it is advanced to production. Kria intends, upon receipt of governmental permits, to begin development activities at the Halfmile Lake site in order to begin supplying ore to Xstrata's Brunswick 12 processing facility by early 2011, assuming an agreement with Xstrata is successfully negotiated.

Discussions with Xstrata with regard to the terms of toll processing ore at the Brunswick 12 mill have progressed and Kria expects to finalize an agreement in the next month.

The metallurgical bench testing was conducted at SGS Lakefield laboratories and was lead by Wardrop, a Tetra Tech Company, under the supervision of Georgi Doundarov, PEng, PMP, CCE, who is an independent qualified person and employee of Wardrop.
