LANGU GOLD AND MAE LAMA TUNGSTEN PROPERTY UPDATES

Amanta Resources Ltd.
(AMH - TSX Venture), ("Amanta") is presently active at two of its exploration
properties in Thailand; the Langu Gold property, where a 5,000 metre drilling
programme is in progress and the Mae Lama Tungsten property, where a limited
initial drilling programme has just begun.

Langu Gold Property
Amanta holds four contiguous Special Exploration Licences (SPLs) at its Langu
Gold Property, in Satun Province, southern Thailand, covering approximately 57
sq. km. Two of the SPLs were granted in 2004, the other two followed in 2006.

The geology of the area is dominated by Devonian continental and deep sea
marine sediments with dominant fault directions NW and EW and north-south
folding axes. The presence of gold in the area was first discovered in 1999 at
an abandoned stibnite (antimony) quarry, the Discovery Quarry, in the north of
the company's present licence area. Channel samples along outcropping
mineralized rocks returned an average grade of 20 g/t gold, over a length of
approx. 20 metres, in an outcrop in the quarry wall. Grab samples from the area
of the previous stibnite operation yielded assays up to 160 g/t.

In late-2005, Amanta conducted a limited shallow reconnaissance drilling
programme (up to 90 m deep) in the vicinity of the Discovery Quarry. While the
outcropping high grades were not intersected at depth, several holes
intersected lower grade mineralization, with the best intercept being in drill
hole LNG 02, a 75 metre deep drill hole located between the Discovery Quarry
and the Discovery South target, which intersected a gold mineralized interval
of 2.9 g/t Au, over 3.4 metres, at a depth of approx. 30 metres. This hole also
had two other mineralized intervals, each of 1.5 metres and grading 0.2 g/t Au.

Amanta has since completed extensive mapping, rock and soil sampling and
geophysical programs over approximately half of the present project area (the
area of the two original SPLs), resulting in the identification of a 6,000
metre anomalous gold trend and the delineation of a number of priority drill
targets. High grade outcrops were discovered 2000 metres south of the Discovery
quarry, where grab samples of up to 160 g/t Au were collected at surface, and
in several locations along the trend where trenches encountered significant
gold grades at shallow depth. One trench at the May target included 40 metres
at a grade of 1.4g/t Au, including 8 metres at 3 g/t Au, while a trench at the
Discovery South target yielded 4 metres at a grade of 15g/t Au.

Gold mineralization occurs mainly as stratiform sediment hosted replacement
style closely associated with decalcification and partial replacement of
calcareous shale by silica. The type of gold mineralization may be described as
"Carlin-style" and is similar to such deposits in China.

Amanta is presently completing a 5,000-metre drilling program, comprising an
estimated 30 HQ cored holes, designed to test several identified targets over
the present Langu gold trend. Drilling commenced in the northwest area of this
trend (the May target) and is proceeding from north to south. To date, a total
of nine drill holes have been completed, with depths ranging from approximately
180 to 300 metres. Assays are now available for these, comprising the initial
programme in this target area.

These nine widely spaced holes, totaling 1616 metres, have been completed over
an area of approximately one sq km which is structurally offset to the west of
the main Langu anomalous gold zone. The first five holes were aimed at
systematically intersecting IP chargeability anomalies, at sections 200 metres
apart, in order to examine the validity and the meaning of these anomalies.

Each of these holes intersected wide intervals of sulphide mineralized material
in which the sulphides generally accounted for up to 5%, and sometimes 10%, of
the rock volume. Drill hole LNG 13, encountered an 11 metre intercept anomalous
in gold with an average grade of just below 0.1 g/t Au. This occurrence will be
further explored at a later date.

Drill holes LNG 15 and LNG 17, drilled along the same strike and with the same
azimuth, were aimed at intercepting at depth the shallow mineralization
encountered in trenching. Each hole intersected a two to three metre thick
steeply dipping mineralized zone with values of 3 meters @ 1g/t Au at a depth
of 70 metres in drill hole LNG 15, and of 2 meters @ 0.25 g/t Au at a depth of
41 metres in drill hole LNG 17. In addition, drill hole LNG 15 returned an
intercept of 5 metres @ 0.35 g/t Au from 108 to 113 metres, including 2 metres
@ 0.7 g/t Au from 111 to 113 meters.

The mineralized material is a pyrite rich brecciated silicified mudstone and
could be the upper part of a 'feeder' zone. The Company is very encouraged by
these initial results at the May target area and will further evaluate the
mineralized system, at greater depths, in the ongoing exploration programme.

Following the completion of the initial programme in the May area, drilling has
now commenced in the target area known as Discovery South, located approx 2 km
south of the Discovery Quarry. Major gold indications in this area include a
four metre trench intercept @ 15 g/t Au and the occurrence of visible gold in
another small stibnite pit. In this same pit, two high grade grab samples
returned 160 g/t Au.

Upon completion of its recently announced financing, Amanta plans to contract
an additional 5,000 metres of core drilling at Langu. Additional funds will be
also be allocated to evaluate the area of the two recently-granted SPLs,
including geochemical and geophysical programmes and subsequent drilling of
identified targets.

Mae Lama Tungsten Property
Amanta holds the exploration and development rights to the Mae Lama tungsten
property, in Mae Hong Son province, northern Thailand, under an agreement with
the present Mining Licence holders. A limited drilling programme has now
commenced at the property.

Mae Lama was the scene of one of Thailand's more prolific tungsten producers
until declining tungsten prices led to its closure in the mid-1980s. Production
was from wolframite contained in a quartz vein (the Mae Lama vein) with a
reported mining head grade in excess of 2% WO3.

Amanta proposes to test this vein below the extent of the previous open-pit
operations, as well as examine the potential of a number of quartz veins which
run approximately parallel to it. These 'parallel' veins have never been mined
but historic test pitting results obtained from the Geological Survey
Department indicate a 1000 x 300 meters wide surface zone, having assay values
above 0.1% WO3 in eluvial material. Amanta is presently conducting a
confirmation programme of these surface results.

Upon completion of these initial programmes, pending the company's review of
all available Mae Lama data and records, and the extension to the existing
Mining Licence, the company proposes to move the drill rig to the Langu Gold
property to accelerate the drilling programme at that project.
