Sama Confirms Geological Model at Depth Intersecting 149 m of Mineralization Including; 9.2 m of 0.46% Ni, 1.12% Cu and 1.11 gpt Pd at Samapleu Cote d'Ivoire

Highlights:

- Confirms pipe-like intrusion as a 1.6 kilometre long, large fold linking the Samapleu Main and the Extension 1 deposits and solidifies the geological model at depth

- Hole SM44-683140 returned 149 metres grading 0.30% nickel, 0.29% copper and 0.42 gpt palladium including; 9.2 metres grading 0.46% nickel, 1.12% copper and 1.11 gpt palladium

- Hole SM44-683140B, terminated in mineralization with a bottom intercept of 3.4 metres grading 1.12% nickel, 0.50% copper and 1.61 gpt palladium

- Individual grades of up to 6.55% copper, 3.20% nickel, 2.06% nickel were intersected in the first two holes at depth

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Aug 12, 2014) - (TSX VENTURE:SME). Sama Resources Inc./Ressources Sama Inc. ("Sama" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has confirmed the pipe-like intrusion as a 1.6 kilometre ("km") long, large fold linking the Samapleu Main and the Extension 1 deposits and solidifies the geological model at depth. In addition, exploration hole SM44-693140 intercepted a continuous mineralized zone of 149 metres ("m") grading 0.30% nickel 0.29% copper, 0.04% cobalt, 0.42 gram per tonne ("gpt") palladium at the Samapleu Main nickel-copper-palladium deposit in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa.

The SM44-693140 interval started 347m from surface and included several semi-massive high grade sulphide lenses, including a 30m combined interval grading 0.50% nickel, 0.89% copper and 0.83 gpt palladium within intercepts of up to 2.06% nickel and 1.54% nickel.

"These impressive intercepts confirm the magnitude of the newly discovered system that form part of what we believe to be the next world class polymetallic district in West Africa", commented Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, President and CEO of Sama. "This large pipe-like intrusion has strong similarities with other world class deposits such as Jinchuan (515 million tonnes ("Mt") at 1.06% nickel), Voisey Bay (137Mt at 1.68% nickel), Kabanga (52Mt at 2.65% nickel), Eagle (4.5Mt at 3.33% nickel), Eagle Nest (20Mt at 1.68% nickel) and Kalatongke (24Mt at 0.68% nickel)." Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet added.

Two additional boreholes were drilled in June-July 2014; SM44-683140B and SM34-626442. Both targeted strong Tri-dimensional Conductivity Depth Imaging ("CDI") targets. Hole SM44-683140B intercepted a total of 91m of mineralized pyroxenite with several semi-massive to massive sulphide stringers and lenses before been terminated within the mineralization due to maximum depth capability of our drill rig. Tenors of up to 6.55% copper and an interval of 3.4m grading 1.12% nickel, 0.50% copper and 1.61gpt palladium were intercepted at the bottom of the hole which suggest that the mineralization continued at depth. The hole will be deepened using a more powerful drilling rig in order to fully test the bottom of the pipe-like intrusion that forms the large fold and returns very strong conductivity responses over a strike length of 1.6km and links the Samapleu Main and the Extension 1 deposits.

Hole SM34-626442 is currently being assayed.

The current drilling program is targeting strong CDI targets generated from the Helicopter Electromagnetic survey (HTEM) in the vicinity of the Samapleu Main, Extension 1 and the Yepleu deposits. All high priority CDI's targets could be related to the presence of mineralization in various concentrations including semi-massive to massive lenses within what Sama believes to be the mineralized trend extending at depth and also laterally.

The table set out below shows the details for mineralized intercepts. Intercepts were defined using 0.1% nickel cut-off grades.
