Highlights:



Intersection of a mineralized zone of 33.29 metres grading 1.29% nickel and 1.16% copper, including 6.65 metres grading 3.71% nickel and 2.84% copper.


Intersection of a mineralized zone of 19.6 metres grading 2.14% nickel+copper, including 2.55 metres grading 2.72% nickel and 1.75% copper.


Intersection of a possible new parallel mineralized horizon: 8.25 metres of mineralization, including 0.5 metres of massive sulphide and 2.75 metres of semi-massive sulphide.


Commenced 1,000 metre drilling program at its Sipilou South nickel and cobalt-rich laterite deposit.





Sama Resources Inc. ("Sama" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results for the first 7 holes of its Phase II definition and exploration drilling program at the Company's "Samapleu Project" in Cote d'Ivoire, Africa.



"Management is very excited about the excellent nickel and copper grades being returned over good widths in this drilling program. These results further confirm that Sama feels it has a world-class opportunity at its Samapleau Project," stated Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, President and CEO.


In January, 2011, the Company drilled 7 holes totalling 846 m. Since the start of the Phase II drilling program on October 10, 2010, 27 boreholes totalling 3,604 m of the planned 9,000 m have been completed.


Drill hole SM44-450250b has returned 33.29 m grading 1.29% nickel and 1.16% copper, including 6.65 m at 3.71% nickel, 2.84% copper and 3.42 grams per tonne ("gpt") palladium, platinum and rhodium combined.


Drill hole SM44-450250c intersected 38.6 m grading 0.52% nickel and 0.88% copper, including 2.55 m at 2.72% nickel, 1.75% copper and 2.62 gpt palladium, platinum and rhodium combined.


The Company is also pleased to announce that it has intersected 8.25 m of mineralization, including 0.5 m of massive sulphide and 2.75 m of highly disseminated sulphide, starting 25 m below surface in hole SM44-680289. True widths are not known at this time. The orientation and geometry of this new intercept needs to be further defined, as it is located approximately 75 m east of the main Samapleu mineralization and may represent a new and parallel mineralized horizon.
