Arian Silver Corporation ("Arian" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:AGQ)(AIM:AGQ)(FRANKFURT:I3A), a silver exploration, development and
production company with a focus on projects in the Zacatecas silver belt of
Mexico, reports a positive start to the refurbishment programme for the
Company's recently purchased El Bote processing plant ("El Bote" or the
"Plant"), which is expected to process up to 1,500 tonnes per day ("tpd") when
fully commissioned.


Today's news follows on from the Company's transformational statement reported
on 2 September 2013 regarding the successful completion of its private placement
debt financing in the principal amount of US$15,585,000 consisting of a senior
secured convertible note.


Jim Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Arian, commented: "I am very pleased
with the progress already made on the refurbishment of El Bote. The successful
commissioning of the Plant and development of the mine will give Arian the
capacity to achieve a scale of production that will create a robust project."


In August 2013, Arian purchased El Bote, situated approximately 50 km from the
site of the San Jose mine. El Bote comprises a crushing circuit with a reported
throughput of 150 tonnes per hour, a grinding circuit comprising a series of
ball mills, and flotation circuits, thickening tanks, and filters.


The refurbishment programme includes the reconditioning of the Plant in-situ,
its dismantling, transport and reinstallation in a modular manner at the
Company's 100%-owned San Jose project. An internal team is leading the
refurbishment of the Plant which is proving to show cost efficiencies and
quality of work. Third-party contractors will, in due course, commence the
development of the necessary site works, tailings dam and electrical
infrastructure for the Plant.


Arian Silver's investment in its owner-operated Plant is expected to enable the
Company to deliver reduced operating costs through improved overall
efficiencies, including metal recoveries, the reduction of transport costs,
increased control of the entire operation and no more toll fees to a third-party
for processing.


It is anticipated the initial stage of the plant, providing a capacity of 750
tpd, will be commissioned towards the end of 2014. The second commissioning
stage to increase capacity up to 1,500 tpd is expected to complete shortly
afterwards. Meanwhile, a programme of further mine development is on-going to
prepare sufficient mining areas to supply the Plant on a sustainable basis.
