TORONTO, CANADA, April 07, 2011 - African Gold Group, Inc. (TSX-V: AGG)("AGG" or the "Company") ispleased to report the analytical results for 27 near surface (oxide),reverse circulation (RC), step out drill holes. All 27 step out RCdrill holes being reported in this release were drilled to the north ofthe Zone 1 deposit that contains a 43-101 resource of 740,000 ozs Au atan average grade of 1.25 g/t Au at a 0.3 g/t Au cutoff.
The 27 northern step out holes were grouped in four distinct regions,north of the Zone 1 deposit. The cluster of northern step out holesdrilled closest to the Zone 1 deposit were collared approximately 400meters north of the 43-101 resource. Moving north, the second clusterof northern step out holes measured approximately 1,100 meters north ofthe 43-101 resource. Continuing north, the third cluster of step outholes are located approximately 1,500 meters north of the 43-101resource and the remaining cluster, representing the most northerlystep-out holes measured approximately 2,000 meters north of the 43-101resource.

The assay results depicting the 27 near surface (oxide) northern step out RC holes are listed in Table 1 below:

"We are most pleased and encouraged by the results of this verysignificant step out program along trend to the north of our Zone 1,43-101 resource. The four areas that we tested measured up to 2,000meters north of Zone 1 and targeted ancient local gold diggings whereartisanal miners have excavated caverns up to 100 meters long by 30meters wide, just below the druacrust hardpan of the laterite profile.These targets occur within the 4.3 km strike length between the Zone 1deposit and the Foroko North structure that AGG announced as a new golddiscovery zone on October 14, 2010: http://www.africangoldgroup.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=167:african-gold-group-inc-step-out-drilling-yields-discovery-of-new-gold-zone-located-43-km-north-o&catid=47:2010&Itemid=162
The holes located in the 1100S area, represent a step out of 400 metersnorth of the Zone 1, 43-101 resource. These holes clearly indicate theoccurrence of economic grade of near surface oxide mineralization thatoccurs over widths of at least 80 meters and corresponding verticaldepths of up to 100 meters. Future drilling in this region will befocused on linking this mineralization to the 43-101 resource andcontinue to test its northern extension.
The three more northerly clusters or groupings of step out drillinggenerated very encouraging mineralized intercepts, especially in the400N area, almost 2,000 meters north along trend from our Zone 1deposit where hole KBRC11-003 contained 39 meters of greater than 0.5g/t Au mineralization. Each of these three northern anomalies is nowscheduled for additional drilling in 2011.
At present, we remain drilling as far as 1,300 meters south of the43-101 resource and remain optimistic that the combination of ournorthern and southern step out holes will ultimately result in thesignificant expansion and growth of our Kobada gold project," statesDr. Kevin Downing, V. P. Exploration.

Sampling - QA/QC Program
RC cuttings are recovered at the bottom outlet of the RC rig cycloneinto 50-kg capacity poly-weave bags to recover the cuttings from each 1meter of drill penetration. Each one meter sample weighs an average ofapproximately 19 to 23 kg. Each sample is passed through a 3-tier JonesRiffler (1 to 8 split), the samples are riffled twice to obtain from 3to 5 kg of cuttings which are put in a numbered sample bag. Each bag issealed and picked up on site by ALS Chemex Laboratories for delivery toits Burkina Faso facilities. The remaining 14 to 18 kg of cuttings(field rejects) are stored in camp under tarps to protect the bagsagainst the elements.
Original samples are analyzed using Leachwell on 2 kg of pulp.Leachwell is a bottle roll cyanidation procedure with the addition of acatalyst to speed up gold dissolution. A QA/QC program is in place andincludes: blank (1 in 20 samples), duplicates (1 in 20), standards (1in 20), external lab checks (1 in 30) and two different analyticalprocedures checks (1 in 100).
