    Mokambo Exploration Update

    African Eagle Resources plc (AIM: AFE; AltX: AEA) is pleased to announce new
    copper assay results from 1,367 samples cut from archive drill cores dating from
    1929 to 1969, from the area of its Mokambo copper project in Zambia.

    Key mineralised intercepts are as follows, based on reporting cut-off grades
    ("cog") of 1% and 2% copper, which are typical criteria for reporting proposed
    underground mining targets:

    ·         17.4m at 1.84% (cog 1.0%) from 252m, incl. 11.4m at 2.16% (cog 2%)
    ·         13.0m at 1.99% (cog 1.0%) from 134m, incl. 7m at 2.74% (cog 2%)
    ·         8.0m at 2.90% (cog 1.0%) from 279m incl. 5.6m at 3.77% (cog 2%)
    ·         6m at 3.34% (cog 1.0%) from 644m incl. 5m at 3.7% (cog 2%)

    Chris Davies, African Eagle´s operations director, who is mandated to spin out
    the Company´s Zambian copper assets, commented "These results show copper
    mineralisation extending to considerable depth, with grade and thickness
    comparable to those at the nearby Mufulira Mine. This work is in line with our
    efforts to add value to our Zambian copper assets at minimum cost in advance of
    signing up a strategic investor to finance a drilling programme to expand and
    formalise the Mokambo resource."

    As part of African Eagle´s plans to spin out its Zambian copper assets, it
    sampled archived core from boreholes drilled at Mokambo between 1929 and 1969 by
    Roan Selection Trust ("RST"). The Zambian Chamber of Mines maintains an
    extensive archive of drill core from the Copperbelt. The Company conducted
    geological logging on core from 33 drill holes in the Mokambo area and obtained
    consent from the Chamber to cut quarter and half core for assay by ALS Chemex in
    Johannesburg. The principal results, reported at a 1% and 2% copper cut-off,
    were as follows:

    |  and | 150.00 | 4.00 | 1.05 | South | 1.00 |
