Simba Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SGD)(FRANKFURT:S7G) ("Simba" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that a planned drill program consisting of up to 5,000
metres of diamond drilling is set to begin in early June at its Miyove Gold
Project in Rwanda, Africa.


Simba completed a surface exploration program in early December, 2011. The
program consisted of extensive soil and rock sampling, a ground magnetic survey,
and detailed geological mapping. A total of 1173 soil samples and 455 rocks
samples were collected and a total of 100 line kilometers of ground magnetics
were completed. The entire property was mapped in detail. 


The results of the surface program have provided sufficient information for
designing a drill program. Initial drill holes will target known gold
mineralization within the Masogwe and Baradega mineralized zones. 


The drill program will be managed on site by SRK Exploration Services Ltd.
("SRK") of Cardiff, United Kingdom. Hall Core Drilling (Pty) Ltd of South Africa
has been contracted to complete the drilling. SRK has arrived in Rwanda and
traveled to the Miyove Project in preparation for the drill program. Two drill
rigs are scheduled to be mobilized to the Miyove property by the end of May for
start-up by early June. 


"We look forward to initiating the drill program on our Miyove Gold Project,"
says Werner Ullmann, President & CEO of Simba. "We are very pleased to have SRK,
a well-known provider of exploration services, overseeing the program, and
combined with the excellent infrastructure on the property, we look forward to
further testing the gold mineralization that has been outlined on the property."



About the Miyove Project

The Miyove Gold Project comprises 2,937 hectares and is located in the northern
portion of Rwanda, approximately 65 kilometres from the capital city of Kigali.
Infrastructure at the property includes excellent road access, water and
commercial power access. The project consists of an exploration license issued
by the Ministry of Forestry and Mines, in the Republic of Rwanda. The license
(license 20/16/03/05) was originally issued August 10, 2006 and has been renewed
until March 23, 2014.


The Miyove Gold Project is underlain by rocks of the Central African
Mesoproterozoic aged Kibara Belt which extends in a north easterly direction
from the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through Rwanda,
to the southern portion of Uganda. The Kibaran geology on the property consists
of shale, siltstone, sandstone, and rare conglomerate units which have defined
simple anticlinal and synclinal fold structures. Mineralization is associated
with multiple NW-SE trending structures hosting gold-bearing quartz veins and
stockworks. Associated wall rock alteration is comprised of kaolinization and
iron oxidation.


The Miyove Project comprises three mineralized zones referred to as Karenda,
Baradega and Masogwe, all of which lie along a northwest-southeast mineralized
trend which extends for six kilometres. Three types of structurally controlled
gold mineralization has been identified and includes, stringer-vein zones,
silicified (quartz) and ferruginous shales, and less frequently, quartz veins
with varying amounts of iron oxides and hydroxides (in the weathering crust).
The host rocks are commonly shale, and to a lesser extent, sandstones. A forth
type of gold mineralization has been identified on the property and includes
alluvial and deluvial placers.


The gold deposit type being targeted on the Miyove Project is similar to the
Twangiza Gold Mine (Banro Corporation) in South Kivu province, DRC which is also
hosted in the Kibara belt. In the Twangiza deposit gold mineralization is hosted
within mudstones, siltstones, greywackes and porphyries along the crest of a
major anticlinal structure and limb-parallel structures. The Twangiza deposit
contains Proven and Probable Oxide Mineral Reserves of 1.13 Moz of gold at 2.26
g/t. In addition the deposit contains a Measured and Indicated Oxide Resource of
1.3 Moz gold at 2.3 g/t and a Measured and Indicated Non-Oxide Resource of 4.3
Moz gold at 1.5 g/t (all reserve and resource numbers are 43-101 compliant and
have been extracted from recent reports completed for Banro Corp. and are
available at www.sedar.com).


To date in 2011, Simba has completed 2,300 metres of drilling on the property,
focusing primarily on the Karenda zone. Highlights include:




--  Hole MY-11-02: 24.69 m averaging 0.61 g/t gold, including 7.54 m
    averaging 1.12 g/t gold 
--  Hole MY-11-05: 5.58 m averaging 1.21 g/t gold, including 2.57 m
    averaging 2.15 g/t gold
