Arian Commences New 10,000m Drilling Programme at San Jose, Mexico
LONDON, ENGLAND, Nov 22, 2010 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) --
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 announce the commencement of a new 10,000m drill programme at its 100% owned San Jose Property, Zacatecas, Mexico.
The drill programme, which will complement the previous two drilling campaigns, is aimed initially to delineate additional areas of high grade mineralisation and to upgrade existing resources, between the Santa Ana and Guanajuatillo resource areas along the San Jose Vein ("SJV"). The drill programme will also start to explore in detail the SJV system that lies to the west of the village of Guanajuatillo, which collectively accounts for approximately 90% of the known strike length of the SJV system. One drill rig has commenced drilling at San Jose, and a second drill rig will be mobilised and operational shortly.
The previous two drilling campaigns delineated JORC and NI 43-101 compliant resources of approximately 43 million ounces of silver, 120 million pounds of lead and 250 million pounds of zinc within only approximately 10% of the known strike length of the SJV within the concession area.

Validating it with the equation for 60moz based on XCap's data:
y = 4.1719x - 46.096 where x = spot (assume 27.50) = 68.64
Let's take an average of the two = 70.50p
So at the moment we have a SP of 32.5p or 46% of asset value.
Future:
Let's take a more prudent 150moz reserves vs. 200moz.
Let's also take a prudent $35 silver by next May.
The equation for 150moz using XCap's NPV data is y = 10.426x - 115.31
Using these variables generates a potential value of 249.6p by May. In other words over 7.5 x today's market value.
We have a good chance of finding the 150moz but a lower chance of getting the market to recognise the value. My guess is that we will get another 100p of value with a takeout price of circa 135p. THe rest will be picked up by the acquirer for future exploitation.
