Serengeti Completes Financing and Commences Drilling at Kwanika

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 30, 2011) - Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SIR)(FRANKFURT:34S) reports closing of and oversubscription to, its financing initially announced on June 16, 2011, as well as the initiation of a drill program at its 100% owned Kwanika copper-gold project located in the Quesnel Trough of north-central British Columbia.

Drilling has commenced at Kwanika to test the 'Northeast' and 'Kwanika Deep' IP geophysical targets. Both targets are located in close proximity to the Central Zone where strongly enriched copper-gold grades have been encountered in prior drilling. The initial 1,500 meter program will focus first on the Northeast target, described in the Company's news release of February 7, 2011, followed by testing of the new 'Kwanika Deep' target.

Recent IP geophysical surveying at the Kwanika project has identified a new IP anomaly named the 'Kwanika Deep' target. This geophysical anomaly is several hundred meters wide, has a strike length of at least 750 meters, and has a response similar in magnitude and character to that of the Central Zone. The 'Kwanika Deep' target is located approximately 500 meters northeast of the Central Zone in an area that has not seen any previous drilling. Serengeti considers this target to be prospective to potentially contain a new porphyry deposit.

The Company recently closed its non-brokered private placement by issuing 4,213,999 flow through units at a price of $0.31 per unit, which increased the overallotment provision originally announced from 15% to approximately 24%. The total proceeds raised in this placement amounted to $1,306,339. Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share and one-half of one non-flow-through share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one non-flow through common share, at a price of $0.42 per share for a period of eighteen months from closing of the financing, expiring December 27, 2012.

The Company has paid finder's and due diligence fees totaling of $74,400 in connection with the private placement to certain parties who were instrumental in introducing investors to the Company. All securities issued by the Company in connection with the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period and may not be traded until October 28, 2011.

Proceeds will be used by Serengeti to fund further drilling and exploration work on its portfolio of British Columbia properties, including on its Kwanika copper – gold project and for general working capital purposes.
