JV PARTNER ANNOUNCES DRILL RESULTS AT MIYABI GOLD PROJECT
African Eagle Resources plc ("African Eagle" or "the Company"; AIM: AFE;
AltX: AEA) is pleased to report that its joint venture partner BrightStar
Resources Ltd ("BrightStar") has announced that its drilling programme at
Miyabi gold project in Tanzania had discovered a substantial additional
gold mineralised system.
Results include:
* MBRB637 9m at 0.89g/t Au from 18m, including 3m at 1.76g/t
* MBRB654 7m at 0.64g/t Au from 18m
* MBRB668 1m at 6.08g/t Au from 24m
* MBRB702 18m at 0.99g/t Au from 0m, including 6m at 2.56g/t Au
from 0m
BrightStar`s results confirm African Eagle`s belief that the Miyabi
structural corridor is highly prospective and that systematic exploration
will be likely to make significant additions to the 0.5 million ounce
resource delineated by the Company.
BrightStar Technical Director Mr Paul Payne said: "We continue to be
encouraged by the results from this first pass RAB program. We have
discovered a gold mineralised system similar in geometry and nature to
the Miyabi Structural Corridor which hosts the 520,000oz Mineral
Resource. Deeper drilling will proceed in the next few weeks."
Four gold mineralised structures have now been discovered, from 20m to
150m wide, all requiring follow-up drilling. The gold mineralisation is
strongly open to the east where prospective greenstones remain untested
for a further 3km.
Several of these shallow reconnaissance drill holes ended in
mineralisation and the discovery will now be followed up by a programme
of deeper reverse circulation ("RC") drilling. All the mineralised
intersections are in oxidized rock and it is likely that the gold grades
will be higher in fresh rock beneath, as has been seen elsewhere in the
Miyabi project.
The drilling programme consisted of shallow RAB holes at 30m spacing
along fences 200m apart. Approximately 400 holes were completed with
average depth of about 27m and to date, results have been received for
around 60% of the holes.
The Miyabi gold project is a Joint Venture between African Eagle and ASX-
listed BrightStar Resources Ltd, under which BrightStar can earn up to
75% of the project by completing exploration and a feasibility study.
A table of all mineralised intersections is set out in the appendix to
this release and full details of the Miyabi drilling programme and
results can be found on BrightStar`s web site:

(eoh) indicates that the hole ended in gold mineralisation
* Most samples analysed as 3m composites
* Sampling carried out using a cyclone and riffle splitter at 1m
intervals
* Sample preparation at ALS Global in Mwanza, Tanzania
* Gold analysis carried out by OMAC Laboratories in Ireland using
50g aqua regia
* QAQC samples submitted routinely with excellent results
* Holes located by GPS then transformed to local grid coordinates
* Intersections are generally interpreted to represent true
width. Where holes ended in mineralisation, true thickness may
be greater than the intersection thickness.
