Serengeti Expands Potential of South Zone at Kwanika
Monday September 21, 8:29 am ET
http://ca.us.biz.yahoo.com/iw/090921/0539084.html?.v=1
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 09/21/09) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V:SIR - News) reports the additional results from this summer's exploration program at the Company's Kwanika property in British Columbia.
Two new mineralized intercepts from drilling on the South Zone indicate that the South Zone extends to considerably greater depth than has been previously noted. The drilling has also shown that the South Zone, which abuts against a fault on the west side, the "West Fault", is open to the south and east as well as to depth. More drilling is underway to expand the South Zone.
The results include a deep intercept grading 0.43% copper, 0.02 g/t gold, 2.0 g/t silver and 0.049% molybdenum (0.80% copper equivalent) over 65.5 meters in hole K-136 and in hole K-124, 0.36% copper, 0.01 g/t gold, 1.4 g/t silver and 0.007% molybdenum (0.43% copper equivalent) over 58 meters. The intercept from hole K-124 is additional to the previously reported 242.5 metres of mineralization.

"The drilling reported on here adds size and depth to the South Zone and clearly indicates major expansion potential to the south and east," stated President and CEO David Moore. "Hole K-136 in particular has returned excellent grades adjacent to the West Fault on the South Zone. Recent geological and geophysical modeling has traced this newly identified fault six kilometers to the south, opening up a large area for future exploration. We are very encouraged by the newly demonstrated potential at depth in the South Zone as indicated by holes K-124 and K-136. We are currently drilling several additional holes testing this potential," added Moore.
South Zone Drilling (K-124, and K-135 to 137): Shallow drilling prior to Serengeti's exploration suggested a limited resource that required more testing. Serengeti's recent work has indicated the potential for expansion is wide open. Vertical drill hole K-124, the upper portion of which was previously reported (see NR 2009-08 dated August 26, 2009) was deepened and as noted above an additional mineralized interval grading 0.36% copper, 0.01 g/t gold, 1.4 g/t silver, 0.007% molybdenum (0.43% copper equivalent) over 58.0 meters was intersected. The overall mineralized intercept in K-124 now grades 0.35% copper, 0.04 g/t gold, 1.7 g/t silver, 0.014% molybdenum (0.49% copper equivalent) over 362.5 meters. K-136, an angle hole drilled from the west, drilled though the West Fault and then encountered a 175.5 meter mineralized interval to the bottom of the hole at 677.5 meters, including an interval assaying 0.43% copper, 0.02 g/t gold, 2.0 g/t silver, 0.049% molybdenum (0.80% copper equivalent) over 65.5 meters. Due to orientation and deviation of the drill hole, the intercept in K-136 lies on the same section as K-124.
K-135 which was unmineralized was a west-directed angle hole drilled from the collar of K-124 and helped define the West Fault. K-137 was drilled off the north end of the South Zone and was not mineralized.
North Area Drilling (K-131 to 134): Hole K-131, 132, 133 were drilled in the vicinity of previously reported hole K-08-122 which intersected 0.42% copper, 0.06 g/t gold, over 76.2 meters, approximately one kilometer north of the Central Zone resource. These three recent holes demonstrate that the K-122 area is structurally complex, with the best interval, 0.47% copper, 0.14 g/t gold occurring over 6.1 meters in hole K-132 and a broad zone of anomalous copper intersected in K-133. Hole K-134 which was drilled off the north east end of the Central Zone was unmineralized.
East Area Drilling (K-129 and K-130): Two holes were drilled in the north-east quadrant of the property, with K-130 encountering a narrow mineralized interval grading 0.17% copper, 0.22 g/t gold over 2 meters immediately below unexpectedly deep overburden. K-129, drilled 1.4 kilometers to the south did not intersect significant mineralization.
Drill Program Summary Drilling has now been completed on Serengeti's Osilinka property and results will be released when available. Drilling has now resumed at the South Zone at Kwanika, after which the drill will be moved to test attractive targets on the Choo and Mil properties.

Serengeti Announces Larger Summer Drilling Program on Kwanika and High Priority Regional Targets
* On Monday June 8, 2009, 9:30 am EDT
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Serengeti-Announces-Larger-ccn-15463995.html?.v=1
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 8, 2009) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR - News) has increased its exploration budget for this summer's drilling program, now scheduled to start at the Company's 100% owned Kwanika copper-gold property on or about June 20th. The budget for the summer program has been increased by 20% to $3.1 million, and this, together with lower prices for 2009 project work, will enable Serengeti to drill approximately 6,750 meters in 27 holes, testing nine exploration targets across four properties. In addition, joint venture partner Newcrest Mining BC Limited has received approved work permits for a separate 2,400 meter drill program on Serengeti's Croy Bloom property.
The following table summarizes the number of holes, meters and targets on each property.

-------------------------------------------------------
The drilling program will start on the Kwanika property where approximately half of the program will test:
- High priority targets around the Central Zone where an Indicated Resource of 75 million tonnes grading 0.41% copper and 0.42 g/t gold was announced on February 25, 2009, (see NR 2009-04).
- Step-outs to the South Zone where 2008 drilling in 14 holes returned an average of 0.36% copper, 0.13 g/t gold and 0.01% molybdenum over an average 82 meter composite intercept. The objectives of the drill program are to significantly expand the known mineralized zones and search for new centers of good grade copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization.
For more information on the prior drill results at Kwanika, visit http://www.corebox.net.
The balance of the drill program funded by Serengeti is as follows:
- 1,000 meters on two other targets in the very large Kwanika block, including three holes on a strong copper-molybdenum geochemical response coincident with an induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly 10 km south of the Central zone, and two holes on a copper-gold target at the southern end of the claim block.
- 1,000 meters in five holes to test a highly attractive copper-gold-silver geochemical and coincident IP anomaly on the Osilinka block located 35 km north of Kwanika.
- 750 meters in three holes testing a target with attractive IP geophysical and gold geochemical results on the Mil property located 15 km west of the Mt. Milligan copper-gold deposit. The Mil property is currently held in a 50-50% joint venture with Fjordland Exploration Inc. Serengeti will fund the 2009 drilling and earn additional ownership in the Quest JV including Mil.
- 600 meters in two holes testing a very large IP anomaly on the Choo property. Drilling in the vicinity in the 1990's by a previous owner showed anomalous copper-gold mineralization. Exploration data recently purchased by Serengeti from Amarc Resources Ltd also indicates two additional IP geophysical targets (coincident in one case with a copper geochemical anomaly) on the Choo property and follow up is planned on these new targets this season.
In addition to the program funded by Serengeti, Newcrest Mining BC Limited has received approved work permits for a four hole deep drilling program on Serengeti's Croy Bloom-Davie Creek property located 85 kilometers south of the Kemess mine.

Serengeti Resource Estimate Confirms 1.6 Million Ounce Gold and 1.1 Billion Pound Copper Indicated Resource at Kwanika
Wed Feb 25, 8:01 AM
http://ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/25022009/28/link-f-ccnmatthews-serengeti-resource-estimate-confirms-1-6-million-ounce.html
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 25, 2009) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SIR.V) is pleased to announce the initial mineral resource estimate for the Central Zone at the Company's 100% owned Kwanika copper-gold property in British Columbia.
The estimate for the Central Zone is based on 78 holes totaling 40,784 meters drilled between 2006 and 2008 which establish the volume, grade, and continuity of the mineralization. The mineral resources are reported within a defined volume and at various cut-off grades as presented below in the table of Kwanika Central Zone Mineral Resources.
At a 0.25% copper equivalent (Cu Eq)(1) cut-off the Kwanika Central Zone Mineral Resources are:
- 182.6 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources grading 0.47% Cu Eq or 0.71 g/t Au Eq, containing 1.62 million ounces of gold and 1.15 billion pounds of copper; AND
- 28.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 0.32% Cu Eq or 0.49 g/t Au Eq containing an additional 0.2 million ounces of gold and 120 million pounds of copper.
A higher grade core within the zone, at a 0.4% Cu Eq cut-off, yields:
- 75.1 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources grading 0.69% Cu Eq or 1.05 g/t Au Eq, containing 1.02 million ounces of gold and 680 million pounds of copper.
The estimate was prepared by independent geological and mining consultants, Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associate Inc., under the direction of David W. Rennie, P.Eng. an independent Qualified Person, as defined by the National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Rennie has reviewed and approved the contents of this release. A technical report providing details of the estimate will be filed on Sedar ( www.sedar.com) within 45 days.
"We are extremely pleased to have achieved this important milestone at Kwanika," stated Serengeti Resources President and CEO, David W. Moore. "This NI 43-101 compliant Indicated Resource containing 4.2 million ounces gold-equivalent is a very significant building block for the Company. In light of current market conditions, our efforts this year at Kwanika will focus on selectively testing targets in the vicinity of the resource area, including targets mentioned elsewhere in this release, to seek and expand additional high grade mineralized centers," elaborated Moore

Note 1: Copper and gold equivalent calculations use metal prices of US$2.00/lb for copper and US$900/oz for gold and do not include factors for metallurgical recoveries. Preliminary metallurgical testing on one composite sample from Kwanika has indicated 88.5% recovery for copper and 65.2% recovery for gold in a locked cycle test. Characterization work is underway on gold distribution and additional test work could result in improved gold recovery.
Cu Eq equals Cu % + (Au g/t x (900 / 31.1 / 2.00) / 22.06)
Au Eq equals Au g/t + (Cu % x (22.06 x 2.00) / (900 / 31.1))
Note 2: CIM definitions were followed for mineral resource estimation and classification. By prescribed definition Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic viability and Indicated Resources have a higher degree of confidence than do Inferred Resources. The mineral resources fall within a volume or shell defined by long term metal price estimates of US $2.00/lb for copper and $900/oz for gold. A 0.25% Cu Eq cut-off is considered to be reasonable for a porphyry deposit open pit in this location.
Drilling elsewhere on the property has indicated three additional mineralized areas for which drilling density is not currently sufficient to estimate a resource (see table below). The South Zone, has approximate dimensions of 1000 meters by 300 meters; the South historical Zone, 600 meters by 300 meters; the North target is presently defined by one hole (see maps on www.serengetiresources.com). Importantly, all three areas remain open for expansion and additional targets also include a geochemically anomalous trend lying to the east of the Central Zone as well as a very attractive new target located 10 km to the south described in news release #2009-02 dated January 26, 2009. Drilling in any one of these areas could result in the discovery of additional high grade, near surface copper-gold mineralization.

The Kwanika discovery has demonstrated that important tonnages of higher grade, supergene-enriched porphyry copper-gold mineralization can occur in the Quesnel Trough of B.C., where very favorable geology for hosting these deposits is blanketed by widespread overburden. Modern geophysical techniques are now able to penetrate this overburden cover and open up this very large under-explored area for exploration. Within this region, Serengeti has extensive holdings with many high quality exploration targets which remain to be tested.

http://ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/21012009/28/link-f-ccnmatthews-serengeti-reports-results-croy-bloom-followup-drilling-planned.html
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 21, 2009) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SIR.V) reports the results of a drilling program completed by Newcrest Mining BC Limited on the Serengeti's Croy Bloom property located in the Quesnel Trough of north-central British Columbia.
Four holes totaling 2,473 meters were drilled testing several large coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies in September/October 2008. Newcrest completed this first phase program as a part of a multi-year option agreement under which Newcrest may spend $10.0 million to earn a 51% joint venture interest in Serengeti's Croy Bloom/Davie Creek property. Highlights of the drill program are as follows and summary results are provided in the table below.
- Two holes, (CBB001 and CBB002), drilled on the Bloom Cirque target intersected locally strongly altered andesite, diorite, monzodiorite and breccias hosting widespread moderate copper and weaker gold mineralization from surface to over 680m in depth. The broadest mineralized interval, 136 meters grading 0.10% Cu was encountered in hole CBB001. Hole CBB002 drilled elsewhere in the same target intersected several narrower intervals including; 26 meter grading 0.12% copper and a 5 meter interval near the bottom of the hole grading 0.22% copper, trace gold.
- One hole, (CBR001), testing the Raven target intersected locally pyritic andesite and diorite with alteration intensity increasing down-hole. The highest values encountered include 1.02% copper over a meter at 327 meters and 2.9 g/t gold over 2 meters at 380 meters.
- A hole (CBD001), on the Davie Creek property encountered several narrow intercepts of molybdenite mineralization including 0.188% Mo over 0.3 meters and 0.056% Mo over 2 meters indicating that the hole was drilled peripheral to the Davie Creek molybdenum zone.
In providing the results, Newcrest has indicated that they intend to conduct a follow up drill program in the summer of 2009.

Serengeti drills 111 m of 0.69% Cu, 0.54 g/t Au
2007-01-09 09:18 ET - News Release
Mr. David Moore reports
SERENGETI DRILLS MAJOR COPPER-GOLD INTERCEPT ON KWANIKA PROPERTY 111 METRES OF 0.69% COPPER AND 0.54 G/T GOLD
Serengeti Resources Inc.'s assay results of hole K-06-9, from the recently completed second phase of drilling on its 100-per-cent-owned Kwanika property, confirm the discovery of a potentially major new copper-gold mineralized zone. Kwanika is situated in the prolific Quesnel trough, between the operating Kemess mine and Mount Milligan development project, and is accessible by road from Fort St. James, B.C.
Hole K-06-9, which was drilled vertically, intersected a sulphide zone averaging 0.69 per cent copper and 0.54 gram per tonne gold over 111.13 metres including a high-grade zone located near its base averaging 1.49 per cent copper and 1.9 g/t gold over 22.15 metres. An overlying, 34-metre-thick native copper-bearing oxidized zone was intersected above the sulphide zone. Full results from the hole are presented in the table below. K-06-9 was drilled near the centre of a large induced polarization geophysical anomaly which potentially indicates a large sulphide system measuring 2,500 metres long by 300 to 700 metres wide. A plan map of the drill holes at Kwanika can be found on Serengeti's website.
"This is a significant result and represents one of the best holes drilled on a greenfields porphyry copper-gold discovery in British Columbia in a long time," stated president and chief executive officer David Moore. "The grade of this hole compares very favourably with the Kemess mine (0.21 per cent copper, 0.65 g/t gold) and Mount Milligan (0.25 per cent copper, 0.6 g/t gold). The potential size of the system is large and equally exciting is the fact that the best grades appear to be interrupted near the bottom of the hole by several more recent crosscutting dikes, which strongly suggests that the mineralized system may extend to greater depth," explained Mr. Moore. "We are currently planning a large follow-up drill program which will take advantage of the fact that Kwanika is a road-accessible, year-round project."

Serengeti completes sale of Tide to American Creek
2006-12-27 14:04 ET - News Release
Mr. David Moore reports
SERENGETI COMPLETES SALE OF TIDE PROPERTY INTEREST
Serengeti Resources Inc. has closed a transaction reported in Stockwatch Oct. 5, 2006, assigning its option to earn a 51-per-cent interest on the Tide property, located north of Stewart, B.C., to American Creek Resources Ltd.
Under an assignment of option agreement dated Oct. 27, 2006, American Creek has purchased Serengeti's right to earn from Rimfire Minerals Corp. a 51-per-cent interest in the Tide property. In consideration of the assignment, American Creek paid $75,000 and reimbursed Serengeti $75,192 (being the amount of exploration expenditures incurred by Serengeti during September and October, 2006), issued Serengeti 354,000 American Creek common shares, and assumed Serengeti's obligations under the Serengeti/Rimfire option agreement dated Nov. 20, 2003, which included at closing, making a $40,000 option payment to Rimfire. In addition, Serengeti has reserved a 1-per-cent net smelter returns royalty on the 51-per-cent interest, should such interest vest with American Creek.
David Moore, president of Serengeti, stated: "We are pleased to have completed this sale which strengthens our treasury and enables us to focus on our 100-per-cent-owned projects including the Kwanika copper-gold project where a significant follow-up drill program is planned for early in the new year. The deal structure also enables us to retain some participation in the upside potential on the Tide property."
Serengeti drills Kwanika, admires core, awaits assays

Mr. David Moore reports
SERENGETI COMPLETES PHASE II DRILLING AT KWANIKA PROPERTY
Serengeti Resources Inc. has recently completed the second phase of drilling on its Kwanika copper-gold property. Five holes totalling 1,257 metres were drilled, following up on copper-gold mineralization first identified in a program on the property in August (see news in Stockwatch on Sept. 20, 2006). All holes drilled in the current program have encountered sulphides, with particularly encouraging signs of copper mineralization encountered in drill hole K-06-9. Kwanika is situated midway between the Lorraine and Mt. Milligan deposits (206-million-tonne resource grading 0.25 per cent copper, 0.6 gram per tonne gold) and is accessible by road from Fort St. James, B.C.
The five holes in the current program were drilled within a 500-by-500-metre area around earlier hole K-06-4 and tested the central portion of a large induced polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly described in more detail in news in Stockwatch on Nov. 15, 2006. Strongly altered andesitic volcanics and monzonitic intrusive rocks carrying variable amounts of pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite have been encountered in all holes. The most southerly hole of the current program, K-06-9, has provided the visibly most encouraging signs and contains three styles of copper mineralization within a 131-metre interval: a 33-metre thick upper zone from 73 to 106 m containing minor native copper in hematitic breccia followed by a six m dyke; a three m zone from 112 to 115 m containing supergene chalcocite mineralization; followed by an 89 m thick primary sulphide zone from 115 to 204 m carrying variable amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite and minor covellite and bornite within highly altered monzonitic rocks. The intensity of mineralization appears to increase toward a fault at the base of the zone. A narrower interval of copper mineralization was also encountered in the footwall to the fault, before the hole was stopped at 230 m depth.
The mineralization and alteration described above has not been confirmed by assay or mineralogical analysis and consequently this information should not be relied upon for quantitative purposes. Sawn drill core has been submitted for assay, with priority put on hole K-06-9. Results will be released when available.
The company also announces that it has tripled the size of its 100-per-cent-owned land position at Kwanika by staking to 94 square kilometres, and staked three additional blocks to the north, totalling 185 square km in a similar geological setting.
Never noticed. Nice breakout.

Serengeti Completes Phase II Drilling at Kwanika Property
Friday December 8, 9:30 am ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 8, 2006) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR - News) reports that it has recently completed the second phase of drilling on its Kwanika copper-gold property. Five holes totaling 1257 meters were drilled, following up on copper-gold mineralization first identified in a program on the property in August (See News Release dated September 20, 2006). All holes drilled in the current program have encountered sulphides, with particularly encouraging signs of copper mineralization encountered in drill hole, K-06-9. Kwanika is situated midway between the Lorraine and Mt. Milligan deposits (206 million tonne resource grading 0.25 % copper, 0.6 g/t gold) and is accessible by road from Ft. St. James, B.C.
The five holes in the current program were drilled within a 500 by 500 meter area around earlier hole K-06-4 and tested the central portion of a large induced polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly described in more detail in News Release dated November 15, 2006. Strongly altered andesitic volcanics and monzonitic intrusive rocks carrying variable amounts of pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite have been encountered in all holes. The most southerly hole of the current program, K-06-9 has provided the visibly most encouraging signs and contains three styles of copper mineralization within a 131m interval: a 33m thick upper zone from 73-106m containing minor native copper in hematitic breccia followed by a 6m dyke; a 3m zone from 112-115m containing supergene chalcocite mineralization; followed by an 89m thick primary sulphide zone from 115-204m carrying variable amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite and minor covellite and bornite within highly altered monzonitic rocks. The intensity of mineralization appears to increase towards a fault at the base of the zone. A narrower interval of copper mineralization was also encountered in the footwall to the fault, before the hole was stopped at 230m depth.
The mineralization and alteration described above has not been confirmed by assay or mineralogical analysis and consequently this information should not be relied upon for quantitative purposes. Sawn drill core has been submitted for assay, with priority put on hole K-06-9. Results will be released when available.

Serengeti Resumes Drilling at Kwanika Copper-Gold Property
Wednesday November 15, 8:30 am ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Nov. 15, 2006) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR - News) is pleased to announce that it has resumed drilling on its Kwanika property located in the Quesnel Trough, the largest copper-gold porphyry belt in Canada. This renewed drilling will be focused on a newly discovered copper-gold zone identified in August 2006. Kwanika is situated midway between the Lorraine and Mt. Milligan (206 million tonnes grading 0.25% copper and 0.6 g/t gold) deposits and is accessible by road from Ft. St. James, B.C.

The current program will consist of 1000 metres of drilling in five holes stepping out from DDH-K-06-04, which intersected 18.3 metres grading 0.32% copper and 0.152 g/t gold, along with anomalous silver and molybdenum values (See News Release dated September 20, 2006). This newly identified zone at Kwanika is associated with strong potassic alteration near the contact between andesites and intrusive rocks which is a very similar geological setting for much of the resource at Mt. Milligan.
As part of the current program, a recently completed more detailed and deeper penetrating induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey has outlined a chargeability anomaly associated with this new mineralized zone, measuring at least 1750 metres in length by 500-750 metres in width and interpreted to extend to greater than 250 metres in depth.
"We like the nature of the mineralization encountered in DDH-K-06-04 and are strongly encouraged by the indicated size of the IP anomaly apparently associated with this new zone at Kwanika. We are pleased to have this follow-up drill program underway," stated David Moore, President of Serengeti.
The company also reports that it has received results from a scout drilling program conducted on its Tchentlo property located west of Mt. Milligan earlier this year. Three short holes tested a variety of targets on Tchentlo and although two of these returned anomalous copper-gold values, the results do not warrant follow-up at the current time.

Serengeti Identifies Two Attractive Primary Gold Targets on Valleau
Thursday March 2, 8:30 am ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - March 2, 2006) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR - News) is pleased to report that it has identified two attractive primary gold targets on its Valleau project as a result of the integration of an airborne geophysical survey flown by the company in 2005 with all prior work completed on the property. This 64 sq. km. property is located in the highly mineralized Quesnel Trough in north-central British Columbia about 70 km. northwest of the Mt. Milligan deposit and 125 km. northwest of Fort St. James.

The recent airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has highlighted two gold targets as follows. The first target covers an area of about 1200 meters long and up to 300 meters wide in Chickadee Creek, where previously identified anomalous gold soil and stream sediment values ranging up to 500 parts per billion are associated with angular grains of alluvial gold. A cross structure identified by the recent geophysical survey coincides with a sharp upstream cutoff to this anomaly, potentially indicative of a nearby gold source area.
The second target zone is large, covering an area of about 4 km. long by up to 1 km. wide where prior sampling has established anomalous gold values in soil samples as well as in float boulders of altered rocks. The recent geophysical survey has identified a series of distinctive, coincident magnetic and radiometric anomalies associated with this target, the size of which is sufficient to host a large mineralized system.
These two zones apparently represent gold dominated systems which is somewhat unusual in a trend that is highly prospective primarily for porphyry copper-gold deposits. Both of these targets are associated with major favorable cross cutting structures. The first target may represent a structurally controlled, higher grade vein-hosted gold situation, whereas the second target may represent a large intrusive-related gold system.
David Moore, President of Serengeti, stated: "We are pleased that the airborne geophysical survey has highlighted these two attractive gold targets. Both represent previously unrecognized target types for the immediate area. Furthermore, given these positive factors and the extensive overburden cover on the property, we believe there is excellent gold potential on the Valleau claims."

Serengeti Outlines 3 Large Drill-Ready Targets on Croy-Bloom Copper-Gold Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Nov. 15, 2005) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR) reports that a number of compelling targets have now been brought to the drill-ready stage on the Company's Croy-Bloom copper-gold property located in the northern portion of the 600 kilometer long Quesnel Trough, the largest copper-gold porphyry belt in Canada. Of particular importance are three specific areas which have been further outlined as a result of the recently completed ground induced polarization (IP) geophysical program. This work has in turn confirmed and greatly enhanced previously identified geochemical and airborne geophysical anomalies. Serengeti owns or has the right to earn a 100% interest in this property.
The Croy-Bloom property encompasses roughly 49 sq. km. and is located in north-central B.C. about 75 km. south of the Kemess Mine, which produces 300,000 ounces of gold and 75 million pounds of copper annually. The property is easily accessible and lies within two km. of a secondary spur from the Kemess Mine haul road. The recently completed geophysics has solidly confirmed the existence of one or more strong, potential sulphide systems, similar to those associated with virtually all porphyry copper-gold deposits. The best geophysical target identified thus far is the Bloom Cirque which is coincident with a four sq. km. copper-gold-cobalt geochemical anomaly. Assays from 150 mineralized rocks previously collected from this target area have a range from trace to 5.5% copper, 9.4 g/t gold, and 0.075% cobalt in grab samples. The better cobalt values are among the highest known reported from surface samples anywhere in the Quesnel Trough.
This new work, combined with prior surveying, has outlined a highly encouraging, IP geophysical anomalous trend measuring some 5 km. in length and up to 1 km. in width. This anomaly is open to the east, where additional targets are possible. Sampling of mineralized rocks elsewhere on the property in the course of the current program returned values up to 1.6% copper and 1.3 g/t gold and a large portion of the property has not yet been thoroughly sampled.
David Moore, President of Serengeti, stated: "We are very pleased with these recent IP geophysical results which have strongly enhanced several of the copper-gold targets on the property. The indicated size of the system is similar to that at Kemess South (about 4 km. long and up to 1 1/2 km. wide) and is more than sufficient to host a large porphyry copper-gold deposit. The presence of elevated cobalt values is also intriguing, given its current price of about $13 per pound. We now feel we have three compelling, high quality drill target areas on Croy-Bloom that are among the best we've seen in the Quesnel Trough."

Serengeti Identifies Major New Target on Kwanika
Thursday October 27, 8:30 am ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Oct. 27, 2005) - Serengeti Resources (TSX VENTURE:SIR - News) is pleased to report encouraging new results from the recently completed airborne geophysical survey and ground geochemical sampling program conducted on the Company's Kwanika copper-gold-molybdenum (Cu-Au-Mo) property located in the Quesnel Trough in north-central B.C. A total of 6 new target zones were identified, and one in particular outlined a much larger and stronger system than had previously been discovered on the property.

The Kwanika project encompasses approximately 28 sq. km. and is situated in the northern portion of the Quesnel Trough, the largest copper-gold porphyry belt in Canada. Serengeti's helicopter geophysical survey confirmed the previously known mineralized occurrences on this project. However, a much more pronounced anomaly, of a sufficient size to reflect a large potential deposit, was identified in an overburden covered area 1.5 kms. north of previous workings. Of primary importance is that this geophysical signature was confirmed by geochemical sampling in this area, with grab samples running up to 0.69 % copper, 0.20 g/t gold and 0.41 % molybdenum from porphyry-style mineralization. Prior geophysical surveying has identified an 800 meter wide, open-ended IP anomaly associated with this target.
Historical work on the Kwanika project has taken place mostly on the southern portion of the property where most mineralized samples have returned values between 0.1 % and 1.0 % copper, with gold and molybdenum credits. The main mineralized zone is open in two directions, to depth and is locally more than 150 meters in thickness.
David Moore, President of Serengeti, stated: "This new target is exactly the sort of signature we were looking for when we flew the survey. Similar geophysical signatures are present at the other copper-gold deposits in the Quesnel Trough. Furthermore, our work at Kwanika this past summer has demonstrated that this is a transitional Cu-Au-Mo mineralized system, which is a characteristic of some of the world's largest porphyry deposits. We look forward to completing the ground geophysical work on this attractive target over the next several months and are confident that this prospect will rapidly advance to the drill stage."
By way of review, the Kwanika property is located approximately mid-way between the Lorraine copper-gold deposit (possible 250 million tonne target) and the Mt. Milligan deposit (est. resource of 5.6 million ounces of gold, 1.7 billion pounds copper - Placer Dome 2004 annual report). The Quesnel Trough geological belt extends approximately 600 kms. from Mt. Polley in the south to the Kemess deposit (300,000 oz./yr. gold mine) in the north.

Rimfire and Serengeti Expand 36 Zone at Tide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vancouver, BC - September 1, 2005: Rimfire Minerals Corporation (TSX-V:RFM) and partner Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SIR) report on results from the Tide Project 36 km north of Stewart, BC. Serengeti funded exploration that included eight diamond drill holes totalling 967 metres. This program expanded the 36 Zone gold mineralization downdip and in both directions along strike, while infill soil geochemical sampling has increased the gold-arsenic+/-antimony soil geochemical anomaly coincident with the 36 Zone to an area of 0.5 by 2.1 kilometres.
David Moore, President of Serengeti stated, "The 36 Zone soil geochemical anomaly is much larger than first recognized and presents a compelling target with soil values exceeding 0.5 g/t gold and locally up to 16.2 g/t gold. Drilling to date has tested approximately 5% of this area, intersecting broad zones of gold mineralization indicating the 36 Zone is part of a large mineralized system. Our next step is to evaluate the lithological and structural controls on gold mineralization in order to better target future drilling campaigns."
The primary focus of the 2005 drilling was to follow up the 2004 discovery at the 36 Zone where drill hole TIDE04-03 averaged 1.00 g/t gold over 129.4 metres. Hole TIDE05-07 extended gold mineralization 45 metres along strike to the northeast, intersecting 55.67 metres of 0.74 g/t gold followed by a 50.05 metre intersection averaging 0.45 g/t gold further downhole. TIDE05-08 stepped back 60 metres on section from the discovery hole extending the zone to a depth of 110 metres, intersecting a 26.14 metre interval of 1.4 g/t gold within a 121.73 metre interval of 0.72 g/t gold. A second intersection further downhole returned 1.12 g/t gold over 18.29 metres. TIDE05-10 tested the zone 105 metres to the southwest, intersecting 60.31 metres of 0.44 g/t gold. A fourth hole, 225 metres south-southwest of the 2004 hole TIDE04-03, tested a geophysical EM conductor, intersecting 6.72 g/t gold over 0.51 metres. Holes TIDE05-05, 06, 11 and 12 were targeted at the 52 Zone.

* Hole terminated in fault zone
Infill soil geochemical sampling between the 36 Zone and the South Pit soil anomalies to the south has shown that the two anomalies are continuous as defined by gold values in excess of 500 ppb (0.5 g/t) gold. This gold-arsenic+/-antimony anomaly is now approximately 500 metres by 2100 metres in size, with diamond drilling having tested an area of 170 by 350 metres. The 36 Zone remains a compelling bulk tonnage-style gold target. Favourable results from preliminary metallurgical studies (see news releases dated June 25 and April 8, 2005) show that this mineralization is amenable to leaching, with gold recoveries averaging 73-81%.
Prospecting, trenching and diamond drilling were completed at the 52 Zone, where high grade gold and silver mineralization was discovered in 2004. Mineralization at the 52 Zone consists of steeply-dipping, west-northwest trending, quartz-pyrite-arsenopyrite+/-sphalerite-galena-sulphosalt veins from 0.1 m to 0.75 m in width. Trench vein chip sample results range from 0.25 metres of 158.5 g/t gold and 363.0 g/t silver to 0.5 metres of 2.4 g/t gold and 57.5 g/t silver. Subsequent diamond drilling, combined with the surface results has shown mineralization to be variable in nature, with the best drill intersection averaging 6.24 g/t gold and 8.8 g/t silver over 0.59 metres in hole TIDE05-06. The 52 Zone occurs within a corridor of west-northwest trending veins characterized by a large area of anomalous antimony-silver-arsenic+/-gold soil geochemistry. Prospecting along this corridor yielded chip samples up to 1 km away from the 52 Zone, ranging in value from 0.17 g/t gold and 7.3 g/t silver, to 18.5 g/t gold and 2300 g/t silver over 50 cm and 30 cm, respectively.
Analytical results from the current program were completed at ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, BC.
