Serengeti Reports Additional Results from Kwanika
Market Wire, January, 2008
Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SIR) is pleased to report additional assays from its latest drill program completed in December 2007 at its 100% owned Kwanika porphyry copper-gold property, British Columbia.
"We continue to intersect excellent grades in the high grade core of the system at Kwanika, including 297 meters grading 0.46% copper and 0.59 g/t gold in hole K-07-46," stated Serengeti President and CEO David Moore. "Furthermore, drill hole K-07-44 indicates that the mineralized system remains open for expansion some 600 meters to the north of the high grade core. Drilling will resume by mid-January to continue testing for extensions of the main copper-gold zone as well as other targets in the immediate vicinity," elaborated Moore.

(i) Partial results previously reported. (ii) Copper and Gold Equivalent
(EQ.) calculations use metal prices of US$1.50 for copper, US$600/oz for
gold and US$8.00/oz for silver and both assume metallurgical recoveries
and net smelter returns of 100%. Copper (Cu) EQ equals Cu% + (Au g/t x
12.86/22.06)+ (Ag g/t x 0.171/22.06). Gold (Au) EQ equals Au g/t + (Cu % x
33.09/19.29 + Ag g/t x 8.00/600).
As indicated on the attached map, three of the seven holes reported, K-07-40, 43 and 46 were drilled in the southern part of the mineralized zone; K-07-39 and 41 were drilled in the north-central part of the zone; and holes K-07-42 and 44 were drilled on a fence 250 meters to the north of the main mineralized zone. The balance of the holes including K-07-45 and K-07-47 to 57 have been submitted for analysis and results will be reported when available.
- Hole K-07-46: An angled hole drilled to the west on Section 200N, intersected a strongly mineralized zone grading 0.46% Cu, 0.59 g/t Au, including two intervals of intensely quartz-chalcopyrite-stockworked monzonite grading 0.49% Cu, 0.91 g/t Au over 83 meters and 0.69% Cu, 1.39 g/t Au over 22 meters. Hole K-07-43 drilled easterly on Section 150N, intersected a native copper and chalcocite-bearing supergene zone grading 0.87% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au over 87.6 meters followed by a primary chalcopyrite-bearing zone grading 0.28% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au over 382.6 meters. Partial results for this hole were previously released in News Release dated November 5, 2007. Hole K-07-40 drilled easterly on Section 250N intersected a broad, moderately mineralized chalcopyrite-bearing interval grading 0.18% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au over 431.1 meters.
