(\"Sarama\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the\n Tankoro exploration property (\"Tankoro\" or the \"Property\") at its South Houndé Project in Burkina Faso (refer Figure 1).\n\n\nThe Company entered into an agreement in respect of the exploration\n rights to the Property in January 2011, giving it the right to acquire\n a 100% interest after making instalment payments to the vendor over a\n period of three years.\n\n\nSarama has achieved considerable exploration success on the Property,\n with drilling returning significant intersections at several prospects\n over an 11.5km-long strike length, including the discovery of the\n high-grade MM Prospect which has been delineated over a 1.9km strike\n length.  On this basis, the Company elected to make the final\n instalment payment early and initiated the transfer process on November\n 2, 2012.\n\n\nPursuant to the agreement with the vendor, the vendor retains the right\n to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty (\"NSR\") for any future mineral production from the Property.
