Serengeti Reports 6.6% Cu from Rottacker Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 2, 2013) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR)(FRANKFURT:34S) is pleased to report additional results from its summer exploration program. Several attractive targets, including good grade copper-gold-silver mineralization have been located on the Rottacker and Fleet properties as part of this program. The focus of this work was to cost-effectively identify prospective areas for follow-up geophysical surveying and future drilling.

On its recently acquired Rottacker claim (adjacent to the Kwanika claim block), located 25 km southeast of Kwanika Central Zone, work included silt and rock sampling and reconnaissance geological mapping in an area characterized by a northwest trending magnetic high, geology similar to that around the Kwanika deposit and bounded to the west by the Pinchi Fault Zone. The target area is overlain by a red boulder conglomerate unit, similar to that partially overlying the Kwanika deposit. Rock sampling from Rottacker returned three samples with 6.6% Cu, 141 g/t Ag, 1.0 g/t Au; 2.2% Cu, 73 g/t Ag, 0.72 g/t Au; and 0.38% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au related to a known showing on the property with last work recorded in 1971.

Historic drilling at Fleet, located 50 km south of the Kemess Mine, identified anomalous Cu and Mo mineralization over significant widths, including 0.18% Cu over 55 m and 0.24% Cu over 15 m. The recent phase of sampling comprised of 30 rock float samples, 52 B-horizon and 111 Ah soil samples. This work, in conjunction with existing data, identified geochemical anomalies that include rock float samples returning 1.4% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au, and 1.2% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au. A combination of B-horizon soil sampling and Ah-horizon soil sampling also identified several new multi-element targets including a particularly interesting 750 m x 600 m area with strongly anomalous Cu-Au-Mo-W geochemistry, with values ranging up to 763 ppm Cu in B-horizon and 312 ppm Mo in Ah-horizon in a separate target.
