Copper and 2.54 gpt Palladium in first Typhoon target at Samapleu
MONTREAL, Jan. 29, 2020 -- Sama Resources Inc. (“Sama ” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SME | OTC-PK: SAMMF) is pleased
to announce the first drill hole of the 2020 campaign (hole: SM2020-1) aiming at a shallow target defined from HPX TechCo
Inc’s (“HPX”) proprietary Typhoon™ electromagnetic geophysical (“ Typhoon”) survey performed at the Samapleu deposit
returned 53 m grading 0.43% nickel (“Ni”), 0.30% copper (“Cu”) and 0.52 grams per tonne (“gpt”) palladium (“Pd”), including 4.6
m grading 1.98% Ni and 0.92% Cu and 2.54 gpt Pd. SM2020-1 was drilled 200 m southwest of the current mineral resources,
hence extending the mineralized trend at the deposit. A second drill rig is currently set to test the 700 m deep Typhoon target
at Samapleu (Fig. 2).
The mineralization encountered in hole SM2020-1 is characterized by aggregates of the nickel, copper and iron sulphides
pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, respectively. Pentlandite occurs together with pyrrhotite, while the chalcopyrite is
either mixed with the pentlandite and pyrrhotite or occurs as late millimetric to centimetric sulphide veins/accumulations. The
textures of the sulphide mineralization vary from disseminated to semi-massive and massive (> 80% of sulphide material).

The 2020 Typhoon program will resume in February and will follow the schedule as indicated in Figure 3. Detailed interpretation
of the several Typhoon targets performed at the Yepleu deposit (25 kilometers southwest of Samapleu) continues as planned.
Readers are invited to view the Updated Corporate Presentation showing results from the 2019 Typhoon geophysical program.
