TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 8, 2010) - Adriana Resources Inc. ("Adriana" or the "Company") - (TSX VENTURE:ADI) announces that it has commenced drilling as part of its 2010 exploration program to increase and upgrade mineral resources on its Lac Otelnuk world-class iron ore deposit located in the Labrador Trough, Nunavik Quebec.

The Company currently has 20 employees/consultants on site and two diamond drills. Over the last few weeks, the Company has completed 1 and 5 meter contour topographic mapping in the North Zone and other areas where drilling is proposed for the season.

The Company plans to complete a diamond drilling program on the North Zone designed to test the entire stratigraphy of the drilled zone and define a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant mineral resource estimate for the North Zone.

The Company also plans further diamond drilling on the South Zone to upgrade a portion of the indicated mineral resources contained in the NI 43-101 Report in respect of the South Zone to measure mineral resources. The NI 43-101 Report in respect of the South Zone was issued on behalf of the Company by Watts, Griffis and McOuat and filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR in May 2009.

As part of its 2010 Lac Otelnuk Property program, the Company also plans to complete certain geo-metallurgical sampling and bench scale testing, and collect large diameter drill core samples for metallurgical grindability testing. Environmental baseline monitoring under the supervision of Golder Associates is also scheduled to resume.
