News Details

Keegan Triples Esaase Land Package With Acquisition of Southwest Adjacent Property

March 27, 2008
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 27, 2008) - Keegan Resources Inc. ("Keegan") (TSX VENTURE:KGN)(AMEX:KGN) is pleased to announce that it has successfully purchased 100% private ownership of the Jeni Concession mining lease and exploration rights.

The Jeni Concession lies directly to the southwest and contiguous to the Esaase Gold property, where Keegan previously announced a resource of 1.67 M oz of gold (see Keegan news release of October 25, 2007), as well as numerous additional exploration successes on the same and parallel structures since that time. Keegan has been awarded the concession by the Bonte Liquidation Committee and Ghana Mineral Commission by virtue of its potential to develop both concessions in the context of a large open pit lode mine as well as Keegan's excellent community relations and development efforts in the Bonte River drainage, which already encompass the villages on the Jeni River Concession.

In consideration for the acquisition for the mining lease Keegan paid US$50,000 to the Bonte Liquidation Committee and US$50,000 to the Minerals Commission of Ghana to transfer title. The Ghanaian government retains a standard 10% carried interest and 3% NSR and the Bonte Liquidation Committee retains a 0.5% NSR. The Bonte Liquidation Committee is the official government agency in charge of liquidating the assets of the former Bonte Mining Company of which the Jeni Concession is one.

Like Esaase, prior to Keegan's involvement, the Jeni Concession had no record of any previous modern lode exploration, having historically seen only placer gold mining activities, which were performed by Bonte between 1989 and 2002: approximately 320,000 ounces of gold were produced. Like Esaase, the placer gold mined at Jeni is crystalline in nature and occurs, at least partially, in relatively small enclosed tributaries of the Bonte River indicating a fairly local source for at least a portion of the gold. The area of the Jeni property is 46 square kilometers. The Esaase gold project now totals 73 square KM (please see www.keeganresources.com for an updated concession map).

Keegan gained permission to fly VTEM geophysics over the Jeni Concession from the Liquidation Committee prior to the final signing of the agreement. Although in the preliminary stages of processing and interpretation, the raw data indicates strong northeast oriented resistivity breaks similar to that which underlies the mineralized fault hosting the resource area and south extension on the Esaase concession. As at Esaase, the resistivity breaks on the Jeni Concession generally occur upstream of some of the small enclosed tributaries containing placer gold. Keegan is currently finishing the geophysical processing and interpretation of the VTEM geophysics and has initiated a soil sample program which will likely be followed by a subsequent trenching program in the vicinity of these resistivity breaks.

Dan McCoy, president and CEO, states: "The addition of the Jeni River Concession is a key milestone for the Company and the Esaase Gold Project. The expanded land position at Esaase coupled with the expansive Asumura project establishes Keegan as an advanced West African gold explorer poised to develop significant gold resources within some of the more prolific gold districts of southwest Ghana. Keegan stands to create substantial wealth for all its financial and community partners in Ghana and abroad."
