VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Tambangnews.com.- Southern Arc Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SA) ("Southern Arc" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its newly formed Indonesian subsidiary PT Indotan Lombok Barat Bangkit ("PT ILBB") has been granted a Mining Business License or "IUP" for its West Lombok property, located on Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia.

The IUP has been granted for an area totalling 10,088 hectares (or 24,928 acres) the location of which is shown in Figure 1 (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/sa_map1.pdf).

Southern Arc holds 85% of the shares of PT ILBB, with 10% being held by the local government (the West Lombok Regency) and the remaining 5% held by the Company's original Indonesian partner, PT Puri Permata Mega. A Joint Venture Agreement among the three partners has recently been finalized in preparation to advance this property.

Southern Arc strongly feels that having the local Regency as an equity partner creates a synergistic and mutually beneficial environment for the advancement of this project. This relationship will ensure that it is in the local government's interest to support the Company's activities and that the local community will receive benefits directly from Southern Arc's success in West Lombok. The West Lombok Regency interest is free-carried throughout the life of the project.

The Exploration Stage of the IUP is initially valid for 5 years and permits the Company to pursue exploration activities up to the conclusion of a feasibility study. This period may be extended with approval of the Indonesian Government. On approval of a feasibility study, the Company will automatically be able to transition the IUP into the Exploitation Stage, with the right to conduct mining production on this property for 20 years, with the potential for two further 10-year extension periods.

West Lombok Property

The West Lombok Project IUP (10,088 hectares) covers a 13 km long, northwest trending structural corridor of mineralization and alteration. This is a Mineral Belt within which the Pelangan Epithermal Gold, Mencanggah Epithermal/Porphyry, and Selodong Porphyry prospects are located. These prospects have been targeted for porphyry intrusions and related mineral systems, including porphyry copper-gold, high sulfidation gold-copper and mesothermal to epithermal gold deposits.

Pelangan

Located at the northwest end of the West Lombok property, the Pelangan Epithermal Gold Prospect includes at least five large and complex quartz vein and breccias systems: the Kayu Putih, Raja, Ratu, Tanjung-Jati and Lala veins. During 2006-07 the Company conducted Phase 1 diamond drilling on these targets with encouraging results (previously reported).

Mencanggah

The Mencanggah Epithermal/Porphyry Prospect lies at the centre of the structural corridor. Surface prospecting and mapping have defined the extent of epithermal quartz veining over a broad area (approximately 5 km x 5 km), along with the presence of potential copper-gold porphyry style targets. Five major epithermal breccia targets, including Tebu Serai, Bising, Telekur, Talat Talat and Mahoni-Gunayang have been sampled and mapped in preparation for an upcoming drilling program.

Together, the Pelangan and Mencanggah prospects host a combined proven strike length of more than 20 kilometres of mineralized epithermal breccias, with individual bodies ranging in thickness from 2-30 metres, strike length of 1,000 metres, and a vertical extent of greater than 300 metres.

Selodong

An exceptional gold-rich copper prospect, the Selodong Intrusive Complex (SIC) hosts 14 porphyry copper-gold targets with associated peripheral epithermal gold-silver mineralization. Newmont (the previous operator) had drill-tested six of the targets with shallow drill holes; nine more targets were subsequently identified by Southern Arc. The Company tested seven of the fourteen targets with a 30-hole Phase 1 deeper drilling program in 2007-08. Independent 3-D geophysical modeling has confirmed the potential for significant depth and size of all 14 targets. Further information is available on the Company website. See the link, below.

Exploration Program and Proposed Budget

Field work at Pelangan is anticipated to include approximately 15,500 metres of Phase 2 diamond drilling. At Mencanggah, plans include more than 9,500 metres of Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling. At Selodong, the Company plans to conduct IP/EM surveys, spectral analysis studies and drill testing (3,500 metres) of lithocap-related porphyry Cu-Au targets. The projected field budget is US$6.4 million. With the issuing of this IUP, drill rigs (initially two, to be closely followed by two more units) will commence drilling Mineralized Structural Breccia targets at the Pelangan Prospect. These first drill rigs will be on site by late February, 2011.

Over the next 12 months, the Company will undertake diamond drilling at both the Pelangan and Mencanggah prospects with the objective of advancing these targets to NI43-101 compliant resource estimate status.
