Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR:
TSX-V) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") is pleased to
report results from recent field mapping and geophysical work at
the Company’s wholly-owned Arjay and West Goldway properties. The
properties, located approximately 6km west of the Omenica Resource
Access Road and 45km south-southeast of Centerra Gold’s Kemess
project, have now been connected via staking to form the
Arjay-Goldway claim group. Serengeti is also pleased to provide an
update on the Atty drilling program.
Company geologists completed a mapping and
sampling program at Arjay, collecting 65 rock samples and 68 soil
samples on a 250m grid. Two reconnaissance induced-polarization
(“IP”) lines were also conducted at Arjay-Goldway, and three
additional IP lines were completed at Atty after drilling had
finished. Highlights of the sampling program at Arjay include:

David Moore, President and CEO of Serengeti
Resources stated: “The Arjay project continues to return high-grade
copper and silver in grab samples, reinforcing what we saw on the
project at the very end of the 2018 season. This year’s sampling
and mapping work, backed up by some strong geophysical anomalies,
has identified some exciting drill targets for follow up in
2020.”

Arjay-Goldway
Serengeti has expanded the Arjay and West
Goldway claim group to approximately 4,220ha. The project lies
within Mesozoic volcanic rocks of the eastern Stikine Terrane which
host most of the porphyry systems in the region.
Mapping and sampling at Arjay in 2018 identified
strong Cu-Ag mineralization (up to 57.3% Cu and 671 g/t Ag; see
press release dated November 29th, 2018). This summer’s work found
that over much of the property area high-grade quartz-carbonate
shear veins occur, mainly within oxidized fragmental volcanics of
the Moosevale Formation.
Disseminated Cu-Au-Ag mineralization hosted
within aplite and andesite porphyry dykes, assayed from trace up to
7.55% Cu, 0.64 g/t Au and 203.0 g/t Ag in sample CV015. The
high-grade mineralization may be driven by a larger hydrothermal
system associated with intrusive rocks and quartz-sericite-pyrite
(“QSP”) alteration outcropping in the northeastern portion of the
property. Wide-spaced soil sampling results from this area indicate
a Cu-Mo anomaly with peripheral Zn signature which is typical of
porphyry systems in the region.
Geophysics
In August, the high grade assay results were
followed up with a 3km IP line. The line ran from the high-grade
shear vein areas into stratigraphically-lower Savage Mountain rocks
in the northeastern part of the property. These rocks host QSP
alteration and anomalous soil geochemistry. The IP survey found a
strong chargeability response below valley fill, associated with an
airborne magnetic low and coincident K/Th radiometric high in an
area of anomalous Cu-Mo-Zn geochemistry.
Serengeti also completed a 5km IP line over an
aeromagnetic high associated with a soil anomaly identified in 2018
sampling at the West Goldway project. The 2019 IP line picked up a
strong chargeability and flanking resistivity anomaly below valley
cover, coincident with the aeromagnetic high and flanking anomalous
soil geochemistry.Atty Drilling
This summer, Serengeti completed approximately
30 line-km of IP geophysics and a follow up 6-hole NQ diamond
drilling program (2,318m).
- Three holes tested the Kemess East Offset Target (Target A)
(AT-19-08, AT-19-12, AT-19-13) with 2 of them directly testing the
2007 Titan IP target.
- Two holes were drilled in the Attychelley Valley area (Valley
Target/E) to follow up on a strong sub-horizontal IP response and
favourable magnetic signature similar to that seen at the Kemess
Underground – Kemess Offset – Kemess East trend.
- A sixth hole (AT-19-11) was drilled in the Boundary Zone area
(Boundary Target/D) to test below encouraging Au and Ag surface
sampling results from historic sampling and a coincident IP
signature discovered during the 2019 IP program.
Analytical results are pending and will be
released in one batch when available.
Geophysics
The 2019 Atty work included 29.8 line-km of IP
in 9 lines.
- Three lines were completed in the Attychelley Valley area
(Valley Target/E)) which was identified as prospective based on
mapping and analysis of airborne geophysics.
- Three east–west directed lines were completed across the
Atty–UDS boundary (Boundary Target/D) to see if an IP response
existed below strong Au and Ag surface sampling results in the area
of known MINFILE occurrences. Serengeti recently added an
additional 6 line-km of IP at the Boundary Target to tighten line
spacing over an area identified by drilling as being prospective.
The total 2019 exploration expenditures at Atty
should satisfy the Year 2 commitments outlined in the Option
Agreement signed between Finlay Minerals Ltd./Electrum Resources
Corp. and Serengeti in early 2018 (see Serengeti press release
dated March 4th, 2018).

Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
Sample analysis for the 2019 Arjay-Goldway
program was completed at Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratory in
Vancouver, BC, which is ISO 9001:2015 and 17025 accredited. Copper
and silver analyses were determined by MA250 which is an
ultra-trace ICP-MS method following four-acid digestion and is
capable of determining up to 10,000 ppm Cu and 200,000 ppb Ag; Au
was determined by FA430, a lead collection, Fire Assay/AAS method
using a 30-gram sub-sample and has an upper detection limit of 10
ppm Au. Overlimit Cu and Ag analyses were determined by MA370 which
is an ore-grade ICP-ES method following four-acid digestion and has
a lower detection limit of 0.001% for Cu and 2 ppm for Ag;
overlimit Au analyses were determined by FA530, a lead collection,
Fire Assay/gravimetric method using a 30-gram sub-sample and has a
lower detection limit of 0.9 ppm Au. The field program was
supervised by Serengeti Resources Inc. staff and the technical
