  Savannah Resources plc (AIM: SAV, FWB: AFM and SWB: SAV) ('Savannah' or the 'Company'), announces that a diamond drilling programme has commenced at both the Bayda (Block 4) and Hara Kilab (Block 5) deposits in the Sultanate of Oman. Savannah is earning a 65% shareholding in the Omani company, Al Thuraya LLC, the owner of the Block 4 Project and is a 65% shareholder in Al Fairuz Mining, the holder of the Block 5 licence.

  Savannah's CEO, David Archer said: "As we move closer to the anticipated grant of Mining Leases over both the Mahab 4 and Maqail South copper deposits, we are looking at defining further Mineral Resources that could provide supplemently feed to a hub and spoke mine development centered around the copper deposits located on Blocks 4 and 5. The current programme is focussing on two of the more promising deposits that, to date, have received only limited contemporary drill testing."
