Consistent Values and Widths Confirm High-Grade Mineralization

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 07/18/11 -- SEMAFO (TSX: SMF) is pleased to provide an update on ongoing delineation drilling at Mana's Fofina area, a deposit that was discovered in 2010. Reverse-circulation ('RC') delineation drilling at 25-meter intervals was carried out within the core of the zone in May 2011. To date, we are in receipt of 64 percent of assay results which continue to suggest a high-grade mineralization with some similarities to the gold-producing Nyafe deposit located 3 kilometers east of Fofina (ref. Figure 1). While some assays remain pending, current data supports our original interpretation which remains consistent with the position of most of the new intersections.
