SME Sama Resources Inc

(TSX VENTURE: SME) Sama Resources Inc. ("Sama" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration activities for nickel-copper sulphide and for nickel-cobalt-scandium laterite mineralization are currently underway at the "Lola Project". The Lola Project encompasses 1,212 square kilometres of highly prospective property in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. The Guinean permits were acquired to cover extensions which are proving to be world class laterite nickel-cobalt deposits in addition to the massive sulphide potential discovered in adjacent Cote d'Ivoire. Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, Sama's President and Chief Executive Officer, first identified the potential while working on adjacent permits in Cote d'Ivoire in the 1990s.

The exploration program includes digging man-made pits, down to a maximum depth of 12 metres on several large laterite plateaus that have already been identified through Sama's field reconnaissance. To date, 12 pits have been dug on a 400 metre by 400 metre pattern at one of the plateaus (known as the 'Gogota laterite plateau') and have returned red limonite, followed downward by asbolane-rich yellow limonite. A limitation on the pit's maximum depth prevented going through the entire laterite profile. Consequently, no saprolite facies are currently accessible. Saprolite facies will be characterized at a later stage by drilling. All of the collected samples will be delivered to Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratory's facility in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire ("BVML") and then dispatched by BVML directly to their assay laboratory, Ultra Trace Pty, in Perth, Australia. All samples will be assayed for nickel, cobalt, scandium and all major oxides. The exploration program also includes an extensive stream sediment sampling program covering areas with similar rock types that host the Company's Samapleu nickel-copper deposit in Cote d'Ivoire.

The Lola Project is 100% owned by the Company and is located in eastern Guinea, adjacent to Sama's Samapleu project, which is just across the border to the west in Cote d'Ivoire. Exploration is continuing as planned at Sama's Samapleu project in Cote d'Ivoire.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it received proceeds of $839,890.50 from the exercise of non-transferable share purchase warrants issued in connection with the March 26, 2010 non-brokered private placement. A total of 2,799,635 warrants at an exercise price of $0.30 each were exercised, representing 85% of the total warrants issued. The Company has issued 2,799,635 common shares for these warrants.

"We are very excited about the high percentage of warrants exercised. The proceeds will be utilized for the Company's exploration efforts and working capital requirements," stated Dr. Audet.
