GEOCHEMICAL RESULTS FROM THE PIAUI DRILL TARGET AT PALITO
PIAUI IS THE FIRST OF NINE TARGETS TO BE DRILLED
Serabi Mining plc, the AIM-traded gold exploration company, is pleased to
release results of further geochemical work performed around the Piaui drill
target at Palito.
Initial trenching work has been undertaken over the prospect and first assays
results reported by Eco Tech Laboratory in Vancouver, Canada have been
received. Trench TC052 was excavated over a length of 237 metres, with a
maximum depth of 5 metres and perpendicular to the strike of the anomaly and
encountered a near-surface intersection of an area of brecciated quartz veining
and weathered sulphide material. (A location map is appended to this release)
Assays of material taken from the trench returned assays as set out below:

The Piaui anomaly is currently being drilled and is the first of nine targets
that will be drilled in the Company's initial 7,500m discovery drilling
programme which commenced late last year. A programme of 8 diamond drill holes
has been designed to test the depth extent of these trench intersections and
target the centre of the modeled IP chargeability anomaly.
Mike Hodgson, Chief Executive, commented:
"This trenching work is very encouraging and has further enhanced the
prospectivity of this robust anomaly at Piaui.
The ground induced polarisation survey that we undertook earlier this year
allowed us to create 3-D wireframe models for chargeability, resistivity and
conductivity anomalies respectively. Piaui is one of the targets where
significant chargeability anomalies were identified of a similar tenor to that
of the known Palito Main Zone mineralisation. Further trenching and deep
geochemistry programmes are underway and will continue on the remaining
prospects, in parallel to the current drilling programme."
