Serengeti Resources Reports Regional Exploration Results from 2018: Including
57% Cu and 670 g/t Ag from Arjay, British Columbia
Vancouver, B.C., November 29, 2018. Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR: TSX -V) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") is
pleased to report results from field work completed on eight of the Company’s wholly -owned early-stage exploration
properties staked earlier in 2018 . Following release of the Geoscience BC Search III survey data in January 2018,
Serengeti staked the properties based on magnetic and radiometric data as well as a detailed compilation of government-
available geological and geochemical information. See the news release dated March 1st, 2018 for details on Serengeti’s
Search III projects.
“Results of 2018 field work are encouraging and show a good return for these early-stage, low-cost acquisitions. Three of
the eight properties staked earlier this year definitely warrant further work which we plan to carry out in 2019”, stated
Serengeti President & CEO, David W. Moore.
Arjay Porphyry Cu-Au
The Arjay property is located approximately 45 kilometres south-southeast of Centerra Gold’s Kemess project within the
Omineca region of north -central British Columbia. The property occurs within a wedge of basaltic rocks of the Upper
Triassic Takla Group intruded by Early Jurassic quartz -diorite plutons. Reconnaissance mapping and sampling yielded
encouraging results, including three samples with locally highly elevated copper and silver from a quartz – copper-
sulphide-oxide vein stockwork zone host ed within hematized mafic agglomerates of the upper Takla Group , likely
representing the Takla – Hazelton unconformity zone . A disrupted highly magnetic zone occurs at Arjay which may
represent hydrothermal alteration of magnetite -bearing volcanic host rocks, possibly associated with the observed
mineralization.

East Niv Porphyry Cu-Au
The East Niv property lies along the boundary between the Upper Triassic Takla and Early Jurassic Hazelton Group s
approximately 15 kilometres northwest of the Sustut Copper developed prospect and surrounding claims now owned by
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Geological mapping and sampling at East Niv in 2018 discovered a quartz-sericite-pyrite (“QSP”)
alteration zone within a feldspar porphyry intrusive hosted by mafic flows of the Takla Group. The QSP zone covers an
area approximately 1000 metres east – west and 1,200 metres north – south, which was subsequently staked by Serengeti
following the field program. Stream sediment values from creeks draining the QSP zone yielded up to 953 ppm copper. A
prior limited Induced-Polarization survey completed over the East Niv property in 2011 identified a strong coincident
chargeability and resistivity anomaly within Takla Group rocks immediately below the Hazelton – Takla unconformity in
the vicinity of the QSP zone. The QSP zone is worthy of detailed follow -up considering the potential association with
copper mineralization.

TrUM Ultramafic-hosted Ni-Co
TrUM occurs within an area that has not had any previous exploration for ultramafic-hosted nickel-cobalt systems despite
permissive geological features. The property lies approximately 65 kilometres northwest of the Kwanika property within
ultramafic cumulates of Upper Triassic age. Outcrop grab and stream sediment sampling from the 2018 program yielded
anomalous nickel, chromium and cobalt values associated with cumulate-textured ultramafic flows. Serengeti is currently
completing further mineralogical test work to determine the nature of nickel and cobalt speciation. The TrUM property was
staked based on highly anomalous nickel and cobalt geochemical values draining a prominent Late Paleozoic to Triassic
ultramafic plug highlighted by the Search III magnetic dataset.

by AQ 270 which is a combined ICP-ES/MS method following Aqua-Regia digestion and is capable of determining up to
100,000 ppm Cu and 1,000 ppm Ag; Au was determined by FA430, a lead collection , Fire Assay/AAS method using a
