Serengeti to Drill at Kwanika to Expand South Zone

News Release: 2010-04

Vancouver, B.C., April 13, 2010: Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR: TSX-V; 34S: FSE) today reported its intention to complete a 10,000 meter drill program on its Kwanika copper-gold project in the Quesnel Trough of north-central British Columbia. "This planned $2.7 million program provides the opportunity to move Kwanika over the development threshold both in terms of tonnage and grade," said David Moore, President & CEO of Serengeti. "The South Zone offers the potential for discovery of near-surface, open-pitable mineralization", elaborated Moore. The Company expects to have the two-drill program started in early June, 2010.

The upcoming drill program will be comprised entirely of step-out drilling to expand the existing resource at the South Zone where 70% of the favorable target area remains to be tested. The Company's previously reported NI 43-101 compliant resources, combining the South and Central Zones, total 1.1 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold in the Indicated Resource category, and 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 0.5 million ounces of gold in the Inferred Resource category all estimated at a 0.25% copper-equivalent cut-off grade (see following table).

Zone	Category	CuEq % Cut-off	Tonnage Mt	Cu %	Au g/t	Ag g/t	Mo %	CuEq %
Zone	Category	CuEq % Cut-off	Tonnage Mt	Cu %	Au g/t	Ag g/t	Mo %	CuEq %
Central	Indicated	0.40	75.1	0.41	0.42	-	-	0.69
	Indicated	0.25	182.6	0.29	0.28	-	-	0.47
	Inferred	0.25	28.5	0.19	0.20	-	-	0.32
South	Inferred	0.40	62.2	0.41	0.09	2.25	0.014	0.59
South	Inferred	0.25	129.1	0.30	0.09	1.76	0.010	0.45

Note 1: Copper equivalent calculation uses the following USD metal prices; copper, $2.00/lb; gold, $900/oz; molybdenum, $15/lb; silver, $12/oz; and makes no provision for metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns. CuEq = Cu % +[Mo% x 15/2.00] +[Au g/t x ( 900 / 31.1 / 2.00) / 22.06] + [Ag g/t x (12/31.1/2.00)/22.06] The base case cut-off used for the Mineral Resources was 0.25% CuEq which is comparable to other porphyry copper open-pit deposits in BC.

Note 2: CIM definitions were followed for mineral resource estimation and classification. By prescribed definition Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic viability and Indicated Resources have a higher degree of confidence than do Inferred Resources. The mineral resources fall within a pit shell defined by long term USD metal prices of copper, $3.00/lb; gold, $1,000/oz; molybdenum, $15/lb; silver, $16/oz.

Note 3: content of Central Zone not modeled; and molybdenum content of Central Zone not significant.

In addition to the budget for the Kwanika project, $1.0 million is allocated for target development work on other regional exploration targets in the Company's extensive portfolio, as well as funding for new project development outside of BC.
Upon completion of this summers' drill program at Kwanika, the Company expects to update the Resource Estimate, followed by a Preliminary Economic Assessment.

The Company also reports that it has been advised by Newcrest Mining BC Limited, that it has elected to withdraw from the Croy Bloom/Davie Creek option agreement. The work completed at the property has resulted in the tenure being extended to 2019.
