Semafo Inc.

Survey to Include Massala-Saoura Area with Grab Samples of Up to 13.8 g/t Au

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 09/30/10 -- SEMAFO (TSX: SMF) announced the commencement of two new airborne geophysical surveys at its Mana District in Burkina Faso. A 985-km2 ultra high resolution low elevation helicopter borne magnetic survey will be carried out across most peripheral permitted properties and will virtually double our magnetic coverage in the area. We will also perform a 302-km2 HELITEM Lite electromagnetic ('EM') survey over part of the central Mana group of properties.

Results Also Expected to Extend Wona At-depth Open Pit Limits

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 09/20/10 -- SEMAFO (TSX: SMF) today announced results from its drilling program on the Wona SW Zone at the Company's Mana Mine in Burkina Faso. The Wona SW Zone is located immediately southwest and parallel to the Wona Main Deep Zone. Core drilling results add significant underground depth potential for wider and higher grade mineralization, while reverse-circulation ('RC') drilling results significantly expand the up-dip open pit extension of the mineralization over one kilometer. These outstanding results will conceivably add new reserves to the Wona Pit.

Discovery of New Fobiri Zone - Exploration Budget Doubled to $18.2 Million

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 08/03/10 -- SEMAFO (TSX: SMF) today announced follow-up drilling results on the Fofina Zone, demonstrating good continuity of the zone with values of up to 4.44 g/t Au (5.57 g/t Au uncut) over 23 meters at Mana in Burkina Faso. In addition, reverse circulation ('RC') and air core ('AC') drilling conducted on Fobiri auger geochem anomalies returned significant drill intersections including 9.76 g/t Au over 3 meters, 5.44 g/t Au over 6 meters and 2.24 g/t Au over 21 meters. Ongoing excellent results on the property have prompted SEMAFO to allocate an additional $9,000,000 to Mana's exploration budget.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 07/28/10 -- SEMAFO (TSX: SMF) today announced the commissioning of the semi-autogenous grinding ('SAG') mill at its Mana Mine in Burkina Faso and the completion of phase two of the plant expansion.
