Dutwa Project - Wamangola Drilling Results

Dutwa Project - Wamangola Drilling Results

14 June 2012: African Eagle Resources plc ("African Eagle" or the "Company")
(AIM: AFE; AltX: AEA) is pleased to report new nickel and cobalt drill results
from a drilling programme completed during the winter of 2011/12 at the
Wamangola deposit, which comprises the larger part of its flagship Dutwa nickel
project in Tanzania.

The drilling programme was designed to further upgrade the remaining zones of
the Wamangola JORC resource from Inferred to Indicated category.  An upgraded
resource report for Wamangola is under development by Snowden in Perth Western
Australia and due for release in Q3 2012.

The new results provide further confirmation of the strength of the Dutwa
resource and reinforce the extent of the significant high-grade zones.

Key Mineralised Intercepts include:

Nickel:
·         54 metres at 2.45% nickel including 6 metres at 4.12% Nickel
·         45 metres at 2.03% nickel including 3 metres at 4.14% Nickel
·         51 metres at 1.04% nickel
·         48 metres at 1.02% nickel
·         36 metres at 1.24% nickel

Cobalt:
·         9 metres at 0.12% cobalt
·         6 metres at 0.14% cobalt


The Wamangola resource upgrade drill programme comprised 93 vertical holes
comprising 4,378 metres of reverse circulation drilling, bringing the total
number of RC drill holes at Wamangola to 421. African Eagle commenced the
drilling in early November 2011 and completed the work in early February 2012.
The programme was specifically designed to upgrade the previously classified
Inferred resource to Indicated category and was defined with the assistance and
approval of Snowden of Perth, Australia, African Eagle's deposit modelling and
resource geology contractor. Snowden will now conduct a formal resource estimate
to JORC standard with the results expected in Q3 2012. With this most recent
drilling, African Eagle has completed a total of 23,255m of resource drilling at
Wamangola.

All mineralised intersections from the latest drilling with grades of more than
0.5% nickel or 0.05% cobalt are listed below. Assays were carried out at Omac
Laboratories in Ireland on 3m composited RC drill cuttings, with approximately
20% of quality control samples (reference standards, blanks and duplicates)
inserted into the sample stream. The resource upgrade drilling programme
infilled previous drilling to nominal drill collar intervals of 100m x 100m.

All mineralised intersections from the latest drilling with grades of more than
0.5% nickel or 0.05% cobalt are listed below.
