Sama Resumes Exploration Activity
Targeting Typhoon™ High Conductivity Nickel-Copper-Palladium anomalies
at depth
Montreal, Quebec – September 24, 2020 – Sama Resources Inc. (“Sama” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:
SME | OTC-PK: SAMMF) is pleased to announce that geophysical activities have resumed on the Cote
D’Ivoire nickel project, with downhole electromagnetic (“EM”) surveys (“DHTEM”) planned in four deep
drill holes at the Yepleu target zone and in one deep drill hole at the Bounta target zone . The holes at
Yepleu and Bounta were drilled in the early months of 2020, with both zones part of the large Yacouba
Ultramafic-Mafic intrusive complex discovered by Sama in 2010 (ref: Press Release: August 08, 2020),
(Figure 1) . The DHTEM survey s are using HPX TechCo Inc .’s (“HPX”) proprietary Typhoon™
electromagnetic geophysical transmitter (“Typhoon”), maximising power transmission for higher
resolution at depth.

DHTEM – Yepleu Target Zone
DHTEM surveying is underway, starting with borehole YE2020- 03 (Figures 2 & 3) at the Yepleu zone,
which returned 8.00 meters (”m”) of mineralised material at 850 m from surface grading 0.31% nickel
(“Ni”) and 0.24% copper (“Cu”) including 1.00 m at 1.08% Ni, 1.29 % Cu and 0.18 gram per tonne (“gpt”)
Palladium. The mineralization encountered in YE2020- 03 does not explain the very high conductivity
target located nearby and defined by the previous Typhoon surface EM survey (15,000 c onductivity
thickness (“CT”)). DHTEM surveys will follow with boreholes YE2020- 01 and YE2020- 02. Both holes
returned mineralization characterized by aggregates of the nickel, copper and iron sulphides –
pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, respectively.
DHTEM – Bounta Target Zone
The current DHTEM program includes surveying borehole BM2020- 01 a t the Bounta zone, a new
discovery located midway between Samapleu and Yepleu. Borehole BM2020-01 returned disseminated
mineralization and a stringer of semi-massive to massive sulphide grading 1.23% Ni and 1.14% Cu over
0.35 m at a depth of 540 m from surface (Photo 1). The mineralization encountered by BN2020-01 closely
matched the moderately conductive EM plate but could not fully explain the high conductivity target
defined by the Typhoon surface EM survey (Figure 4). The DHTEM should delineate with more accuracy
the centre of the strong conductor.

2020.

Photo 1: BN2020-1 semi-massive to massive sulphides showing similar composition to that and seen at Samapleu
and Yepleu returning 1.24% Ni and 1.14% Cu over 0.35 m at a depth of 540.2 m from surface.

intercepted in BN2020-01 could not explain the high conductivity target (11,000 CT) defined by the surface Typhoon
survey.
Three holes drilled at Yepleu (YE2020-01 to 03) were aimed at testing three Typhoon EM targets along
a mineralized trend of more than 4,500 m of strike length (Figure 2). The mineralized horizon starts near
surface, reaches a depth of more than 850 m toward the south-southwest and appears to remain open.
The very strong conductive target at 850 m depth from surface defined by Typhoon surface EM (15,000
CT), remains unexplained.
