SME Sama Resources Inc

Sama Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SME) ("Sama" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that the results of recent heavy media separation tests carried out as
part of the metallurgical test program on the Company's "Samapleu Main
poly-metallic deposit" and "Samapleu Extension 1 poly-metallic deposit" in Cote
d'Ivoire, have returned increased results in grade. Tests showed that in
treating ore material with a calculated head grade of 0.35% nickel and 0.33%
copper, float rejects of 0.092% nickel and 0.17% copper were produced with the
sink material upgraded to 0.66% nickel and 0.53% copper, while rejecting 55% of
the feed material mass. The tests are continuing using a range of ore feed
materials.


"These initial results indicate that there appears to be good potential to
upgrade the lower grades of Samapleu ore to produce higher grade material as
feed to flotation," stated Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, President and CEO of the
Company. "The information being developed will form part of a National
Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant report on the project, due to be
issued in the first quarter of 2012," he added.


Metallurgical testing was conducted by Societe Generale de Surveillance of
Lakefield, Ontario. Earlier reported flotation test work demonstrated that with
a "production" ore blend grading 0.53% nickel and 0.52% copper, a bulk
nickel-copper concentrate analyzing over 18% nickel+copper could be produced
with good metal recoveries.


The phase II drilling program is now complete at the Samapleu Main poly-metallic
deposit, the Samapleu Extension 1 poly-metallic deposit and the Sipilou South
laterite deposit, with the remaining batches of samples being submitted for
assaying. The process for establishing mineral resource estimates for these
deposits has started and will be completed upon receiving the last remaining
assay results.


This news release was prepared by Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, P.Geo., President and
CEO of Sama, and by Dr. Phillip Mackey, P.Eng., a metallurgical consultant, both
acting as Qualified Persons under NI 43-101.
