Keegan Provides Essase Gold Project Update and Resumes Drilling

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - Keegan Resources Inc. (TSX:KGN)(NYSE Amex:KGN) ("Keegan") is pleased to provide the following update on its flagship Esaase gold project.

Since, October 2006, Keegan has drilled 120,000 meters to date and released a 43-101 resource 2.025 M oz Au indicated averaging 1.5 g/t Au and 1.451 M oz Au inferred averaging 1.6 g/t Au using a 0.6 g/t Au cut-off. The 43-101 report was completed by Coffey Mining Ltd. and is available at www.sedar.com. Keegan, together with Coffey Mining, is also performing additional studies to examine the potential of screen fire assay to better estimate the deposit's coarse gold content (see NR dated March 2, 2009). Approximately 1400 samples have been selected to confirm the previous screen fire assay results, which identified a 28% increase in grade. This much larger sample set will be sent for analysis shortly.

On the project development front, Lycopodium Engineering Pty. Ltd., a mining engineering firm based in Perth Australia, is currently performing metallurgical and other initial engineering studies at the Esaase Project using composite samples as well as four large diameter core holes. Meteorological and stream flow monitoring are continuing as are community development projects. Knight and Piesold have also completed the field portion of a preliminary hydrological program.

On the exploration front, Keegan has resumed drilling on the Esaase project. In addition to exploration and infill drilling Keegan plans to also drill holes for the purpose of obtaining geotechnical and hydrological data.

President and CEO Dan McCoy states: "Keegan is pleased to have advanced its Esaase project to a point where it is sufficiently financed to continue to aggressively advance project developments as well as continue to explore some of numerous untested targets."
