Sama Resources Inc. announce drilling results from 2021 drilling campaign. Sama drilled a total of 20 drill holes for 8,768 meters ("m") in 2021, including 5 holes at Yepleu for 2,766 m, 7 holes at the Samapleu deposit, including hole S-312 returning a combined 17.50 m at 1.87% nickel ("Ni"), 1.05% copper ("Cu") and 1.64 grams per tonne ("gpt") of palladium ("Pd"), and 7 holes at the Grata discovery for 2,921 m. Hole GR-04 drilled at the Grata discovery intersected 141m of continuous mineralization including near surface intervals of 6.40 m and 6.60 m grading 1.05% Ni -1.28% Cu & 0.48 gpt Pd and 0.73% Ni - 0.38% Cu & 0.30 gpt Pd respectively. Assays results for GR-05 to GR-09 are still pending.

In September 2021, Sama announced the Grata discovery located 5 kilometers ("km") east of the Samapleu deposit. The discovery hole, GR-03, drilled in June 2021, returned a 310 m sequence of pyroxenite and gabbro containing a 147 m interval of disseminated sulfides and several intersections of semi-massive sulphide mineralization. The second hole GR-04 confirmed the width of the mineralized zone, with a 141 m mineralized intersection including 6.40 m and 6.60 m intervals grading 1.05% Ni, 1.28% Cu & 0.48 gpt Pd and 0.73% Ni, 0.38% Cu & 0.30 gpt Pd respectively.

All measurements are core length. The mineralization at Grata is similar in composition to the Samapleu deposit but shows a larger proportion of chalcopyrite and therefore a higher copper to nickel ratio. This relationship between copper and nickel is particularly evident in the GR-06 mineralized zones.

The Company is looking at increasing mineral resources at Samapleu and Grata for a future surface mining operation as well as searching for massive sulphide veins and lenses that could have accumulated at depth in traps and embayments along the feeder system of the Yacouba Intrusive Complex. At the Yepleu mineralized zone, hole YE-19 returned 45m of disseminated and semi-massive sulphide mineralization including 1.15m @ 1.40% Ni. Hole YE-20 drilled 600 m to the north-northeast returned 16m @ 0.49%Ni including 4.25 m @ 1.01% Ni.

Following the completion of hole YE-23 in mid-2021, which aimed at testing the strong electromagnetic conductor target with a 20,000 conductivity-thickness ("CT"), the Company decided to perform a wedge from the YE-23 hole. The wedged hole is aiming at the centre of the 20,000 CT target. However, due to delays in obtaining equipment and heavy rains during the last four months of 2021, the start of the wedging operation is now planned for the end of this month.

Yepleu is the centre of the intrusive feeder system with evidence of multiple magma injections generating a large volume of host rock assimilation. At Yepleu and Grata, all newly intersected mineralization 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 millimetric to centimetric sulphide veins/accumulations.

The textures of the sulphide mineralization vary from disseminated to semi-massive and massive. Core logging and sampling was performed at Sama's Samapleu and Yepleu field facilities. Sample preparation was conducted at the Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratory in Abidjan.

Sample pulps were delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd, Ancaster, Thunder Bay, Canada, for assaying. All samples were assayed for Ni, Cu, Co, Pt, Pd, Au, Fe and S.
