Adriana Acquires Labrador Trough Iron Prospect

Adriana Resources Inc. (“Adriana” or the “Company”) – TSX-V: ADI is pleased to announce it has signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (“MOU”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Bedford Iron Prospect (the “Property”), consisting of 94 mineral claims covering 2,350 hectares, located within the Labrador Trough of northeastern Labrador. Subsequently, Adriana staked an additional 82 mineral claims totalling 2,050 hectares, directly adjacent to the Bedford Iron Prospect claims, which brings the total combined land package to 4,400 hectares. The property is located 27 kilometres northeast of the town of Schefferville, Québec on the east side of Howells River.

The Property, formerly held by the Iron Ore Company of Canada as part of its designated Blocks 19 and 103 holdings, covers a significant government aeromagnetic anomaly strategically located within 3 kilometres of the LabMag iron deposit and within 12 kilometres of the KéMag iron deposit, both held by New Millennium Capital Corp. The Property is also within close proximity to several Direct Shipping Iron Ore deposits previously owned by the Iron Ore Company of Canada which operated mines in the area from 1954 to 1982. New Millennium Capital Corp. recently announced plans to develop a Direct Shipping Ore operation in order to take advantage of current shortages of iron ore in the world market place.

Adriana can acquire a 100% interest in the Property from Bedford Resources Partners Inc. (“Bedford”) by making escalating payments totalling $200,000 over the six-year option period, including $15,000 In the first year, and by conducting exploration designed to advance the project to pre-feasibility stage, within the option period. Pursuant to the MOU, Adriana is to pay Bedford a 1.5% royalty from the sale of iron mined from the property, subject to the Company’s option to buy down 50% of the royalty at fair market value at anytime following completion of a bankable feasibility study.

Historic public records, mostly from work carried out in the 1970s, reference “high priority targets for possible taconite deposits” in the Howells River area. Adriana is in the process of collecting all available data on the property and the surrounding area with the intent of initiating an exploration program in the summer of 2008. The planned program would consist of geological and geophysical surveying, outcrop sampling and, if warranted, preliminary orientation drilling.

Adriana also has an option to earn 100% interest in the Lac Otelnuk Iron Project located 165 kilometres northeast of Schefferville, within the Labrador Trough, where the Company has an advanced diamond drilling program designed to delineate a multi-billion tonne NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource. Technical staff and helicopter support assigned to the Lac Otelnuk project will be available to support early stage exploration on the Bedford Iron Prospect during the coming summer field season.

Mr. Frank Condon, P.Eng., a Director of the Company and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.
