Vancouver, BC, March 24, 2014 – (TSX Venture: SME). Sama Resources Inc./Ressources Sama Inc. (“Sama” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of the Downhole Electromagnetic Geophysical (“DHEM”) survey on five (5) holes at the Samapleu and newly discovered Yepleu nickel-copper-palladium Deposits in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa.
Abitibi Geophysics Inc. from Val d’Or in Canada performed the survey and the interpretation is performed by Mr. Daniel Card, Senior Geophysicist for Southern Geoscience Consultants, Australia.
Three holes were surveyed at the Yepleu deposit, one hole at the Samapleu Main and one hole at the Samapleu Extension 1 deposits.
Preliminary inspection of the data indicate strong Electromagnetic (“EM”) responses on all holes surveyed. Detailed interpretation and modelling is in progress for the following geophysical anomalies:
| Hole | Location | Response: Depth from surface in meters (“m”) |
| SM34-570407 | Extension 1 | — EM anomaly at around 280-320 m |
| SM44-525290 | Samapleu Main | — EM anomaly at around 150 m |
| YE31-637117 | Yepleu | — EM anomaly at around 120 m |
| YE31-694543 | Yepleu | — EM anomaly at around 160 m |
| YE23-398223 | Yepleu | — EM anomaly at around 40 m |
“The survey was performed extremely well by Abitibi Geophysics”stated Dr. Marc‑Antoine Audet, President and CEO. ”We look forward to some very good drilling targets from the modelling.” “We are working on this as top priority” added Mr. Card, Senior Geophysicist for Southern Geoscience Consultants.
The Yepleu discovery is located 18 kilometers (“km”) southwest of the Samapleu nickel-copper-palladium deposits. Regional geological mapping has identified that the geological host of the newly discovered Yepleu nickel-copper-palladium mineralization extends beyond the original 3 km by 600 to 800m to an area as vast as 6 km x 4 km (Refer to News Release dated February 03, 2014).
A total of 18 diamond drilling holes for 3,320m were drilled at the Yepleu discovery testing the large sub-horizontal mineralized layer associated with pyroxenite, gabbro-norite and diorite units been part of the newly identified and described Yacouba Layered Complex (Gouedji et al., submitted to Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France (BSGF), January 24, 2014). Exploration results for all drilled holes at Yepleu will be announced in a subsequent press release.
Exploration Model and Targets
Exploration to date has focused mostly on shallow targets (<150m) at the Samapleu and Yepleu deposits. Sama believes that mineralization at the Samapleu deposits could plunge deeper and could extend laterally as suggested by responses obtained from the Helicopter Electromagnetic survey completed in January 2013 and by the current DHEM survey.
At Yepleu, the Company is chasing embayments or structural features that would have trapped mineralised pyroxenite within the sub-horizontal layered complex assemblage.
