Sama Resources Inc. announced additional nickel ("Ni"), copper ("Cu") and platinum group of element ("PGE") semi-massive and massive sulphide drilling intersections in the 3,800 metre ("m") drilling program at the Yepleu prospect located 25 km south-west of the Samapleu-Grata deposits in western Côte d'Ivoire, West-Africa. On the October 17, 2023 reported partial assay results of holes S-332 to S-342, are reporting assay results for 7 holes (S-336 to S-342) drilled on a newly discovered, near surface, nickel ("Ni"), copper ("Cu") and Platinoid Group Elements ("PGE") showing mineralization over an area of 500 metres ("m") by 400 m, open in all directions within a corridor of approximately three kilometres ("km") oriented north-west to south-east by 500 m to 700 m wide. There is a very good correlation between the strong conductivity seen in the 2013 and 2018 airborne electromagnetic surveys and the mineralized magmatic pyroxenite.

Thirty-one holes totaling 2,487 m have been drilled to date. Drilling is being conducted using two Sama owned core drill rigs. The target zone is sub-horizontal with a slight dip of 10 to 15 degrees toward the south-west.

All holes were drilled vertically. In June 2023, the Company announced a revised mineral resource estimate for the Samapleu-Grata deposits, a combined estimate of 101.9 million tonnes ("Mt") averaging 0.25% Ni for 558.6 million pounds ("Mlbs") of Ni metal, 0.23% Cu for 526.8 Mlbs of Cu metal, 0.01% Co for 33.4 Mlbs of cobalt ("Co") metal, 0.29 g/t Pd for 939,400 ounces of palladium ("Pd") and 0.1 g/t Pt for 311,400 ounces of platinum ("Pt"), and 14.99 Mt averaging 0.25% Ni for 81.6 Mlbs of Ni metal, 0.22% Cu for 72.9 Mlbs of Cu metal, 0.02% Co for 5.5 Mlbs of Co metal, 0.31 g/t Pd for 149,400 ounces of Pd and 0.1 g/t Pt for 49,500 ounces of Pt for the Inferred and Indicated categories respectively. The Samapleu-Grata-Yepleu mineralization is signature of a layered, pipe-like intrusion or conduit-hosted nickel deposits.

These rare types of intrusions host the world's large Ni-Cu deposits such as Jinchuan, Voisey's Bay, Kabanga, Eagle, Eagle Nest and N'komati. Sama discovered the Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization when it discovered the Yacouba layered complex of mafic and ultramafic rock. This layered complex was created approximately 2.1 billion years ago by the intrusion of magma through the Man Shield.

The Yacouba complex can be traced over a strike length of more than 30 kilometers within Sama's properties in Côte d'Ivoire.
