Adriana Files Third Quarter Financial Statements Ended September 30, 2015 and Provides an Update on the Company

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/06/15 -- Adriana Resources Inc. ("Adriana" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ADI) announces that it has filed its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and the related Management Discussions and Analysis. Both documents are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

As at November 6, 2015, Adriana has cash and cash equivalents of $34.1 million.

Lac Otelnuk Mining Ltd. ("LOM"), a joint venture company with WISCO International Resources Development & Investment Limited ("WISCO"), of which Adriana owns 40% and WISCO owns 60%, has cash of $5.2 million as at November 6, 2015.

In April 2015, Adriana announced the completion of a Feasibility Study on the Company's Lac Otelnuk Project located in Nunavik, Quebec. The results of the Feasibility Study showed that the Lac Otelnuk Project has attractive economics at higher iron prices and we remain optimistic for the future of the Lac Otelnuk Project. Currently the iron ore market is depressed due to two factors: oversupply; and soft demand from the Chinese steel industry. New iron ore production coming on stream from Australia and Brazil will result in in excess of 100 million tonnes of new supply next year at a time when steel inventories are very high and demand for steel in China is softening. A recovery in iron pricing will likely be delayed until supply and demand are approaching equilibrium. It is difficult to predict the timing but it is unlikely to occur in the short to medium term.

Adriana has taken steps to conserve cash and reduce all discretionary expenditures. As the recovery in the iron space is difficult to estimate, the Company is reviewing its strategic options with a view to creating shareholder value in the short term while preserving exposure to the iron ore space. Adriana currently has its cash reserves, a strategic partnership with WISCO, and a world class asset. We are investigating opportunities that will generate short term cash flow and have "blue sky" for potential appreciation in the share price.

Adriana also announces that it has sold the shares of all of its subsidiaries holding its interests in the legacy Brazil investment (the "Subsidiaries") to a third party for contingent consideration of up to $3 million, payable out of 50% of the net proceeds of a future sale of the Subsidiaries or their assets. Adriana previously disclosed that it would not be proceeding with the development of the Brazil investment and was considering various strategic alternatives. Exiting from the Brazil investment eliminates all future care and maintenance expenses, preserves cash balances and allows Adriana to focus on reviewing its strategic corporate options.
