SAMA ANNOUNCES THE BEGINNING OF DRILLING AT THE YEPLEU PROPERTY IN COTE D'IVOIRE, WEST AFRICA

Sama Resources Inc. has begun the planned 6,000-metre drilling program designed to test high-conductivity targets defined by phase 1 of the Typhoon electromagnetic geophysical survey at the 100-per-cent-owned Yepleu property at the company's nickel-copper-cobalt-palladium project in Ivory Coast, West Africa.

The drilling program is targeting semi-massive and massive polymetallic sulphide anomalies located between 600 m and 900 m from surface. Capital Drilling Cote d'Ivoire Ltd. is positioning the drill rig for the first hole.

"Mobilization to the drill site in Yepleu was completed smoothly and preparations to commence drilling at the site are under way. We are excited to be working with Sama Resources on this project and look forward to commencing the drilling program," said Brian Rudd, executive director of Capital Drilling.

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