SAMA RESOURCES COMMENCES AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT NICKEL-COPPER-COBALT-PALLADIUM PROJECT IN COTE D'IVOIRE

Sama Resources Inc. has commenced a 3,000-line-kilometre airborne helicopter time-domain electromagnetic and magnetic (HTEM) survey over the Samapleu and Yepleu areas on the company's Cote d'Ivoire nickel-copper-cobalt-palladium project in Ivory Coast, West Africa. The HTEM survey will be flown over the area at 200-metre line spacing and is being carried out by Geotech Ltd. of Canada using its versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical system.

The HTEM survey will assist Sama with its geological interpretation of the entire Samapleu and Yepleu project areas. The HTEM survey is aimed at targeting new sectors with the potential for additional nickel-copper sulphide mineralization from the surface to several hundred metres at depth.

The company's exploration objective is to delineate massive sulphide reservoirs that could be the source of high-grade nickel-copper-palladium lenses intercepted in shallower boreholes at the Samapleu deposits.

The Samapleu mineralization is typical of a layered, pipe-like intrusion or conduit-hosted nickel deposits. These rare types of intrusions host the world's largest nickel-copper deposits such as Jinchuan (515 million tonnes at 1.06 per cent nickel), Voisey's Bay (137 million tonnes at 1.68 per cent nickel), Kabanga (52 million tonnes at 2.65 per cent nickel), Eagle (4.5 million tonnes at 3.33 per cent nickel), Eagle Nest (20 million tonnes at 1.68 per cent nickel), Kalatongke (24 million tonnes at 0.68 per cent nickel) and N'komati (2.8 million tonnes at 2.08 per cent nickel).

Sama discovered the nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization when it discovered the Yacouba layered complex of mafic and ultramafic rock. This layered complex was created approximately 2.1 billion years ago by the intrusion of magma through the Man Shield. The Yacouba complex can be traced over a strike length of more than 30 kilometres within Sama's properties in Ivory Coast.
