(“Sama” or\nthe “Company”)\n \n \n (TSXV:SME);\n(OTC:SAMMF)\n \n \n is pleased to announce\ninitial\n \n \n metallurgical testwork results from its\nSamapleu\n \n \n nickel (“\n \n \n Ni\n \n \n ”), copper\n(“\n \n \n Cu\n \n \n ”), cobalt (“\n \n \n Co\n \n \n ”) and platinum group elements\n(“\n \n \n PGE\n \n \n ”)\n \n \n Project in\n \n \n \n Ivory Coast, West Africa\n \n \n \n . The metallurgical testwork comprised Locked Cycle Tests\n(LCT) on a composite from the Grata prospect, and batch flotation\noptimization on a composite from the Samapleu Main deposit,.
