Keegan (KGN.V) anomalies in Asumura, Yamfo-Sefwi, Ghana
Thu Mar 2, 2006 IP Continues to Confirm Robust Drill Targets at Asumura Gold Project
Vancouver, March 2, 2006: Keegan is pleased to announce that it has completed an IP survey at the Twiapasi anomaly and discovered strong chargeability and resistivity anomalies coincident with the soil and trench results. The anomalies are at least 600 meters long and are open (and strongest) on the north side. The anomalies trend directly beneath the Keegan trench where a very sharp break in resistivity indicates a strong fault, which is coincident with a strong chargeability anomaly, almost certain indication of high sulfides associated with the fault beneath oxidation. As previously reported, this trench contains a saprolite/bedrock intercept of 6 metres @ 4.6 g/t Au associated with a 107 ppb Au-in-soil anomaly. Please visit www.keeganresources.com for supporting maps and sections.
The Tiwipasi anomaly is similar in size, strength and gold coincidence to the Wagyakrom anomaly, where Keegan is currently drilling. The Wagyakrom anomaly is mostly underneath a topographic low and bedrock is inaccessible for trenching whereas the Tiwipasi anomaly has had successful trenching results to date which now have not only confirmed soil anomalies but were further confirmed with an IP anomaly.
The Asumura concession comprises a 210 square kilometer area within the highly prospective Sefwi greenstone belt and in addition to the current drilling program; the company continues to conduct geochemical and geophysical surveys in order to efficiently target additional areas for drilling. Vincent Dzakpasu, a qualified member of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in the United Kingdom is Keegan's QP on the property and has reviewed this release.
Dan McCoy, president and CEO of Keegan Resources states: "The IP anomalies give us strong indication that the gold mineralization we intercepted in the trench could continue at depth and along strike. We will be drilling this anomaly during the course of our current drill program. We are thrilled to now have two separate kilometer scale coincident gold and geophysical anomalies to drill during this program."

Keegan Resources (KGN.V); Gold in Ghana at Asumura
Mon Mar 27, 2006 Keegan Updates Drill Progress at Asumura and Nevada Gold Projects
Vancouver, March 24, 2006: Keegan is pleased to announce that it has completed drilling the first 14 reverse circulation holes across the northern portion of the Wagyakrom target area on the Asumura Property in southwest Ghana (please see www.keeganresources.com for map). Keegan completed it's initial 9 hole fence on the north end of the anomaly and is now in the middle of a 10 hole fence 200 meters south where a recent trenching program intercepted 12 metres @ 0.65 g/t Au including 2 meters @ 1.1 g/t Au and 2 meters @ 1.2 g /t Au. Keegan will issue the first set of results to the public when all the fire-assay and metallic screen analysis have been received.
Geologically, the drilling on the first fence encountered a significant fault between metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks directly beneath a gold-in-soil anomaly. The fault contains abundant sulfide and quartz and carbonate vein material. These developments have prompted the early mobilization of a core drill to the property expected to arrive early in April.
The Asumura concession comprises a 210 square kilometer area within the highly prospective Sefwi greenstone belt and in addition to the current drilling program; the company continues to conduct geochemical and geophysical surveys in order to target additional areas for drilling. Vincent Dzakpasu, a qualified member of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in the United Kingdom is Keegan's QP on the property and has reviewed this release.
Nevada Updates Keegan is planning to resume drilling at the Regent Au-Ag epithermal bonanza vein property later this summer. Last fall, Keegan intercepted 16 meters @ 2.7 g/t Au including 1 meter @ 11.4 g/t Au and 1.5 meters @ 166 g/t Ag. Keegan plans to drill at least two holes deeper on the same vein structure. Keegan will also undertake a mapping and sampling program at the Black Velvet Au-Ag epithermal bonanza vein property this summer to better understand structural controls contributing to the 9.1 meters @ 28.7 g/t Au drilled by a previous operator. Keegan has also decided not to further pursue the Horse Mountain and Fri option agreements.
Dan McCoy, president and CEO of Keegan Resources states: "We continue to get confirmation of significant mineralized structures on the Wagyakrom, Twiapasi, and Mangoase anomalies. This is significant as these mineralized structures vary from two to eight kilometers in length and thus hold the potential of world class size gold deposits. We have also decided to retain only the best of our Nevada properties in order to effectively focus our capital and human resources. The company continues to evaluate advanced stage gold exploration opportunities in Ghana and the USA while maintaining our primary focus on Asumura."
