Serengeti Identifies a Robust Copper-Gold Target on RCN Property; Sampling Results Grade Up to 0.59% Cu, 1.59 g/t Au

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 16, 2014) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:SIR)(FRANKFURT:34S) is pleased to report the discovery of outcropping mineralization grading 0.59% copper, 1.59 g/t gold on the RCN property located in the Red Chris district of northwestern British Columbia.

At the RCN property, follow-up prospecting and geochemistry late in the 2013 field season significantly expanded an area of interest first identified by Serengeti last summer. Additional outcrops of strong quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration were located on the property, such that the zone of interest now extends for at least 400 meters on strike in a largely overburden covered and densely treed portion of the property. Rock sampling near the center of this outcropping area returned a composite grab sample over a one meter width assaying 0.59% Cu and 1.59 g/t Au. A reconnaissance soil sampling survey on a 500 x 100 meter grid identified a cluster of three strongly anomalous copper and gold values upslope of this mineralized outcrop indicating the zone of interest may be several hundred meters wide. Silt geochemical sampling of two drainages, 400 and 900 meters to the north, returned moderate to strongly anomalous copper values, suggesting the possibility of a larger mineralized area. This altered and mineralized zone flanks an aeromagnetic anomaly and is believed to be similar to the one which lead to the discovery of the nearby N. Rok copper-gold zone. The next step at RCN is IP geophysics and detailed soil geochemistry which could very quickly lead to drilling at this very well located, road accessible property.

"Our success in identifying, acquiring and advancing high quality exploration targets such as RCN demonstrates the merits of our brownfield exploration approach" stated President & CEO, David Moore. "We now have a strategic land position in four BC copper-gold districts, and look forward to testing some of our best targets in 2014".

These results and new maps are available on Serengeti's RCN webpage.

The Company also announces that it has granted an aggregate 1,325,000 stock options to acquire common shares of Serengeti at a price of $0.06 per share to directors, officers, employees and consultants pursuant to its stock option plan.
