Serengeti Resources Earns Additional Interest in Kwanika Copper Gold Project

Serengeti Resources Inc. announces that Daewoo Minerals Canada Corporation ("DMC"), a Canadian subsidiary of POSCO Daewoo Corp., one of South Korea's leading trading corporations, has exercised its right to earn an additional 30% interest, bringing their total interest to 35% in the Kwanika Copper Gold project, subject to finalizing and executing the full Joint Venture Agreement for the project.

Serengeti President & CEO David W. Moore stated, "POSCO Daewoo's commitment provides financial stability and I believe significant value to both the Kwanika project and Serengeti as a Company. Today's announcement provides a clear path forward that will begin with the initiation of a Pre-feasibility in the short term. We look forward to working with a global partner of POSCO Daewoo's caliber having both financial and trading capabilities which will be very advantageous to our shareholders as both companies advance the Kwanika project towards our ultimate goal of putting the project into production".

Kwanika Project Advancement Plan

Over the next 60 days the partners will establish a joint venture company, finalize the full joint venture agreement, DMC will contribute their current 5% interest plus $7 million in cash and Serengeti will contribute an additional 30% Kwanika property interest to the new joint venture company.

Serengeti will remain as project operator and will be entitled to charge a 10% operator's fee on expenditures, so long as it maintains a majority interest.
