Azumah hits gold at two newprospects in heart of

Wa Gold Project, Ghana

Drilling returns strong results from two prospects between flagshipKunche and Bepkong deposits

Intercepts include:

14m @ 2.31g/t Au from 13m (KRC478) – Aduane

16m @ 2.34g/t Au from 23m (KRC480) – Aduane

6m @ 15.60g/t Au from 53m (BRC230) – Bepkong South

Results highlight excellent opportunity to grow Wa Gold Projectresource

Follow-up drilling to start this month

Feasibility Study on <100,000ozpa project at Wa almost complete

Azumah Resources Limited (ASX: AZM)(TSX:AZR) (“Azumah” or the “Company”) ispleased to report highly promising results from two prospects located between the adjacentflagship Kunche and Bepkong deposits at its Wa Gold Project in northwest Ghana(Table 1, Figure 1).

Wide spaced RC drilling at the Aduane target has returned intercepts including 14m at2.31g/t Au from 13m (KRC478) and 16m at 2.34g/t Au from 23m (KRC480).

At Bepkong South, drilling returned a best intercept of 6m at 15.60g/t Au from 53m(BRC230) (Tables 2 and 3; Figure 2).

The Aduane prospect is located 1km north-east of the Kunche deposit and extends for300m along a north-northeast trend, while the Bepkong South prospect is 500m due southof the main open pit planned for Bepkong and immediately east of a planned satellite pit.

“These latest exploration results support Azumah’s belief that more ‘blind’ satellite golddeposits like the Bepkong deposit are likely to be discovered in the immediate vicinity ofthe planned gold plant.” said Azumah Managing Director Stephen Stone.

“The thickness of the best intercepts from Aduane are particularly impressive and bodewell for the delineation of another mineable deposit.”

Follow-up RC drilling in the area will take place this month after the completion of adetailed review of all historical and recent exploration data, including the results of arecently completed dipole-dipole IP survey.

Azumah Resources Limited – Aduane and Bepkong South Drilling Results - October 2011

Page 2 of 5

A Feasibility Study for a plus-1,000,000 tonnes per year, <100,000oz per year gold operation is almost finished, with mostkey components now being finalised. Its completion is largely dependent upon the receipt of final assays from recent infilldrilling programmes to enable updated resource models and pit optimisations and production schedules to be finalised.

2011-2012 Exploration Campaigns

Azumah’s geologists are reviewing all recent and historical exploration data and finalising exploration programmes andbudgets for the next exploration season. More drill rigs in addition to the five already committed to the project are likely to becontracted.

The Company’s 50 man and 25 man exploration camps at its Wa Gold Project Kalsegra headquarters and over at the Julielicences respectively are now fully operational. These will provide important support to the Company’s expanded explorationactivities. An aircore rig is already back on site and about to drill several new targets.

Azumah is also establishing a third field camp in the northern extremities of its 3,200km2 licence area as much of this areahas not been explored to any reasonable level.
