CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 14, 2016) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR)(FRANKFURT:34S) reports the results of a recently completed, independent mineral resource estimate for its Kwanika property located in north central British Columbia. The resource includes a high-grade, well defined domain within the Central Zone on the property, estimated to contain 57.7 million tonnes grading 0.48% copper and 0.55 g/t gold at a 0.4% copper equivalent cut-off. The resource estimate is based on a 122 drill holes totaling 57,454 metres drilled on the Central Zone by Serengeti between 2006 and 2016 and includes three holes drilled earlier this year in a program fully funded by partner, Daewoo Minerals Canada.

"We are very pleased with the results of this resource estimate, which I believe will significantly improve the economics of the Kwanika Project" stated David W Moore, President & CEO of Serengeti Resources. "Furthermore, K-16-177, one of the recent drill holes incorporated into the current estimate and drilled though the heart of the Central Zone, perpendicular to virtually all the prior holes, indicates the possibility of an additional modest increase in copper grade and a more significant increase in gold grade if the trend identified by K-177 holds up. While one hole is not statistically significant, it demonstrates additional potential upside at Kwanika, as do our two other exploration holes reported on earlier in September" said Moore.    

Dr. Kyu Youl Sung, General Manager of Mineral Resources Division of POSCO-Daewoo stated "We are gratified to see that this independent study supports Daewoo's early contention that the Central Zone could contain a higher grade core zone than was recognized by prior work. We are pleased with the progress of the partnership with Serengeti, the project results to date and look forward to seeing these results incorporated into a revised mining and economic study which is the next step", elaborated Sung.    

The partners also announce that Moose Mountain Technical Services has been engaged to carry out the revised mine optimization and financial study for the project. This study is due for completion on or before March 1, 2017 with the objective of incorporating the results into a revised Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") and N.I. 43-101 Technical Report.   

As part of the recent resource study, a resource estimate update at 0.13% copper equivalent cut-off was also completed for the South Zone on the Kwanika property and the results are shown in the following table. This estimate is based on 58 holes, totaling 17,958 meters drilled on the South Zone by Serengeti, between 2008-2010.

All of the work outlined above is being funded by Daewoo Minerals Canada, in a deal finalized earlier this year (See NR-2016-03), whereby Daewoo will earn a 5% project interest by paying Serengeti $400,000 (paid) and spending $800,000 on the project in the first year. Daewoo may earn an additional 30% interest in the project by electing on or before March 6, 2017, to spend an additional $7 million over the following two years for aggregate expenditures of $8.2 million to earn a 35% project interest. Serengeti remains as project operator and is entitled to charge a 10% operator fee on expenditures beyond the initial $1.2 million. Serengeti is entitled to an NSR royalty if its project interest is diluted below 50% and also retains the right to enter into precious metal streaming transactions subject to certain off-take rights to Daewoo.
