Sama Resources Reports on SRG’s Assay Results for Its Cobalt-Nickel-
Scandium Gogota Project
MONTREAL, March 26, 2018 -- Sama Resources Inc. (“Sama” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SME) is pleased to report that
SRG Graphite Inc. (“SRG” (TSXV:SRG) announced today the remaining assay results from the drilling program conducted on
the SRG’s cobalt-nickel-scandium Gogota project in Guinea, West Africa. With these latest assay results, SRG is now in a
position to produce a maiden resource estimate. Sama holds a control position in SRG of 24,658,267 shares representing
40.09% of the issued and outstanding shares of SRG and is considered an insider for reporting purposes
To complete the resource estimate, SRG has engaged Montréal-based Met-Chem, a division of DRA Americas Inc. (“Met-
Chem/DRA”). The Gogota cobalt-nickel-scandium occurrence has a prospective surface outline of 1.96 km 2 and is
approximately 5km away from SRG’s Lola graphite deposit. The study will commence immediately with completion of the
National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate expected in H1 2018.
Press release highlights:
• 25m @ 0.21% cobalt, 1.37% nickel and 32gr/ton scandium
• 23m @ 0.18% cobalt, 1.27% nickel and 39gr/ton scandium
• SRG hires Met-Chem/DRA for the completion of a 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Gogota Project
Of the 51 vertical drill holes carried out over the Gogota Deposit in 2012-2013, 31 were drilled over a 200-meter by 400-meter
grid and 20 were drilled over a 200-meter by 200-meter grid. The first phase of samples from 31 drill holes representing 800
samples were sent for analysis in 2013 and returned significant cobalt (“Co”), nickel (“Ni”), and scandium (“Sc”) results, among
others. These results were reported again by SRG on January 23, 2018. The second phase of 20 drill holes representing 425
samples were recently sent for analysis. The combined mineralized intervals for all boreholes are presented in Table 1. A
compilation map can be seen in Figure 1.

Core logging and sampling were performed at the SRG’s facility in the village of Gogota. Sample preparation was performed by
Veritas Laboratory in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Pulp samples were delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario,
Canada. All samples were assayed for cobalt, nickel and all major oxides using peroxide fusion XRF. Scandium was
determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry.
