August 22, 2012, Vancouver, B.C., Canada.Simba Energy Inc. (“Simba” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SMB, Frankfurt: GDA, OTCQX: SMBZF), the pan-African oil & gas explorer, is pleased to announce the successful completionof the first phase of field work on Block 2A, onshore Kenya where the Company currently holds a 100 % interest in the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for this concession.

The passive seismic data collected from 218 listening stations covered the Company’s existing three leads. Data results obtained were reported by GeoDynamics Worldwide as being of high (clean) quality and expected to correlate well with existing 2D seismic during processing. The final report and interpretations are expected soon. Additionally the Company carried out the collection of 675 geochemical samples on Block 2A. These will be analyzed with results being incorporated into the Block 2A geological interpretation.

At the strongest lead, with 4-way closure already confirmed by reprocessed 2D seismic, the passive seismic survey’s preliminary field data considerably increased the exploration potential and resulted in the decision to infill the listening pattern. The Company’s technical team will now follow up with targeted 2D and or 3D seismic programs in order to better determine the location of its first exploration well on this concession.

To highlight the program’s success, Simba’s Chief Technical Officer & Director, and Qualified Person in accordance with NI 51-101, James Dick remarked, “I am very pleased with the results of this program to date. After the passive seismic data has been processed and interpreted our plan had been to shoot up to 500 kilometres of 2D seismic. Now a smaller amount of 2D and or 3D seismic is required to locate the first well. This passive seismic survey has accelerated the exploration phase on Block 2A and has moved us closer to a drilling program. Getting to this stage so early in the exploration program is avery positive development for the Company and its shareholders.”

James Dick, P.Geol.,P.Eng., Director of the Company and Qualified Person in accordance with National Instrument 51-101, has reviewed and approves the technical disclosure in this news release.

August 07, 2012, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Simba Energy Inc. (“Simba” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SMB, Frankfurt: GDA, OTCQX: SMBZF), the pan-African oil & gas explorer, with approval of the OGRPP (de l’Office Guineen de Recherche et de Promotion Petrolieres) has completed an educational lecture and field trip in the Republic of Guinea.

Simba Energy’s James W. Dick, Chief Technical Officer & Director, conducted an educational lecture that combined boardroom presentation and a field trip to visit the Company’s concession. The lecture held at the OGRPP (de l’Office Guineen de Recherche et de Promotion Petrolieres) was attended by over 30 geologic and technical staff.

The field trip to Simba’s Block 2 identified and sampled numerous oil seeps and a contaminated (unpalatable) water well. Many samples were taken for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of hydrocarbon. Preliminary tests on two samples showed significant florescence confirming the presence of hydrocarbon.

The Company has also opened an office in Conakry, complete with locally hired support staff and a Country Manager.

Simba Energy’s James Dick remarked, “…with this trip we firmly established Simba’s presence on the ground in Guinea. We are very pleased with the magnitude and number of seeps found, with hydrocarbon odor present at some of these locations. The Company is pleased with its progress to date and will continue with its activities to prepare for further appraisal work.”

The Company holds a 60% operating interest in the PSC (Production Sharing Contract) for onshore Blocks 1 & 2, comprising 12,000 square kilometres in the Bove Basin. The Company’s upcoming appraisal and planned seismic work as part of the PSC is supported by the following (historical) highlights and rationale:

• Confirmed presence and size of seeps prove migration and communication have taken place in the basin
• In 1989, the French laboratory Beicip, performed a detailed analysis which indicted the level of maturity was mature to over mature and the source was likely oil prone
• Silurian shales which are the major source rock in all the northern African basins are present and in communication with thick porous Ordovician sands
• Three reservoir systems are present in the basin with fair to good reservoir parameters (both clastic sediments and carbonates)
• An earlier gravity survey over the entire basin indicated sediments were present up to a depth of 4,000 meters and confirms Simba’s concession covers two basement deeps as well as the northwest flank
• The Bove basin’s tectonic style can form structures that produce traps capable of pooling large reserves
• The Cretaceous overlies the Devonian in the North West corner of Block 1 with many of the wells drilled in Guinea Bissau lying just to the north (of Block 1) encountered light oil staining in core and samples

July 18, 2012, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Simba Energy Inc. (“Simba” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SMB, Frankfurt: GDA, OTCQX: SMBZF), the pan-African oil & gas explorer, is pleased to provide an operations update on its activities at Block 2A, onshore Kenya. Simba holds a 100 % interest in the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for Block 2A.

The acquisition of passive seismic data is well underway. In addition to targeting the primary lead in Block 2A, and following the assessment of new data, the Company has now decided to increase the coverage area of the passive seismic survey five-fold from 750 sq.kms to approximately 4,000 sq.kms, utilizing 218 data/listening stations, as well as add a geochemical survey during this current phase of fieldwork. This area, lying within a junction of two basin trends, is believed by Simba’s technical staff to be geologically analogous to the area in Block 10BB drilled by Tullow Oil plc & Africa Oil Corp.

In addition, the Company is also pleased to announce that it has formally engaged Ernst & Young LLP to advise the Company on advancing the value of this exciting asset, including a potential farm-out of Block 2A.

Hassan Hassan, Managing Director of Operations said, “Our work in the field is progressing well. This decision to expand the coverage area of passive seismic, also adding the geochem study, coupled with existing 2D, gravity and aeromagnetic surveys most definitely serves to better appraise the true extent of Block 2A’s exploration potential. Further, with the considerable interest generated in the region by the recent oil discovery at Block 10BB, having Ernst & Young’s Oil & Gas team sign on to help us advance this concession in the best possible manner for the Company, including a possible farm-out, is definitely another very positive step so early on.”

June 12, 2012, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Simba Energy Inc. (“Simba” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SMB, Frankfurt: GDA, OTCQX: SMBZF), is pleased to announce that independent petroleum consultant Sproule Associates Limited (“Sproule”) has completed a technical report compliant to NI 51-101 and CPR (Competent Persons Report) standards in respect of Simba’s holding, a 100% interest in the PSC (Production Sharing Contract) for onshore Block 2A, Kenya, comprising 7,802 sq.km within the Madera-Lugh basin, near the juncture with the Anza basin and Lamu Embayment/Basin.

Utilising the existing 500km of 2D seismic, Sproule’s report has defined three prospective leads at four representative seismic horizons. Five horizons have been carried in the interpretation. For this initial assessment, the Gross Unrisked Undiscovered Petroleum Initially In-Place, (Mean) was 1,927.1MMboe and the Gross Unrisked Prospective Resources (Mean) was 445.3MMboe. The Total Gross Risked Mean Prospective Resources was 26.9MMboe. See also table below.

Table: Initial Resource Assessment of Block 2A – First Three Leads

(Source: Sproule and Associates Ltd.)

*Undiscovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place (equivalent to undiscovered resources) is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of undiscovered petroleum initially in place is referred to as “prospective resources,” the remainder as “unrecoverable.”

**Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development and may be subclassified based on project maturity.

As its main conclusion, Sproule’s report confirms the exploration potential of Block 2A and supports existing plans to further delineate these leads as proposed with additional passive micro-seismic, 2D or 3D seismic, and gravity gradiometer surveys.

The Company’s exploration plans for Block 2A include:

• Continued data gathering and review of technical reports, satellite imagery, and interpretation of existing 2D seismic, gravity and magnetometer as well as carry out block-wide field geological and geochemical studies.
• GeoDynamics S.R.L. of Italy is conducting an Infrasonic Passive Differential Spectroscopy (IPDS) seismic survey covering 4,000 sq.km with 250 measurement points on a variable spacing.
• Areas of potential identified by the passive micro-seismic survey will be further evaluated by conventional 3D or 2D seismic and/or gravity gradiometer prior to selecting a drill site.
• An additional 1,000 km of 2D seismic .
• Design a drilling program to evaluate top leads derived from the above seismic programs.

Robert Dinning, Simba’s President & CEO remarks, “we are delighted to provide our shareholders with this independent opinion from Sproule. It reaffirms our technical team’s initial premise to target Block 2A during the application process as it was highly prospective with great potential for significant accumulations. While it is encouraging to have Sproule’s assessment for exploration potential for this area of interest within Block 2A, including a very strong lead, we now also believe it is relevant to note how this same area lies within the junction of two (basin) trends as being geologically similar to the successful Ngamia-1 well, recently drilled by Tullow Oil and Africa Oil, that is also located at the junction of two trends. As a next step we see our passive seismic program as offering a very strong compliment to the existing seismic we have for these leads. We definitely have an exciting, active and funded exploration program now in place for Block 2A and will look forward to the work of proving up our resources in the license.”

James Dick, P.Geol., P.Eng., Director of the Company and Qualified Person in accordance with National Instrument 51-101, has reviewed and approves the technical disclosure in this news release. For further reference Sproule’s full report will be made available on the both the Company’s website as well as SEDAR.

May 24, 2012, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Simba Energy Inc. (“Simba” or the”Company”) (TSXV: SMB, Frankfurt: GDA, OTCQX: SMBZF), is pleased to announce that it has received final approval for 60% of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in blocks 1 & 2, onshore Guinea from the Republic of Guinea’s Minister of Mines and Geology (Le Ministere des Mines et de la Geologie).

To view the infographic version of this release click here or visit the Company’s website.

The two blocks total 12,000 sq.km onshore in the Republic of Guinea’s Bove basin, which has extensive presence of surface oil seeps and three known reservoir systems with fair to good reservoir parameters in both clastic sediments and carbonates. It is Management’s view that blocks 1 & 2 possess significant hydrocarbon exploration potential that supports taking an aggressive near-term exploration approach.

The following points highlight the exploration potential for Blocks 1 & 2:

• Migration and communication are demonstrated by the presence of abundant seeps, large accumulations of bio-degraded heavy oil at surface, along with light oil staining in earlier (historical) core and samples.
• Laboratory analysis carried out in 1989 on samples from two wells Beicip (France) indicated a level of maturity as “mature to over mature” and a source that is likely oil prone.
• Silurian shales, which are the major source rock in all North African basins, are present.
• The basin has three known reservoir systems with fair to good reservoir parameters in both clastic sediments and carbonates.
• A gravity and magnetometer survey carried out over the entire basin in 1972 by Texas Geophysical Company indicates sediments were present up to a depth of 4,000 metres and identified numerous anomalies, the magnitude of which remain of great interest.
• Most of the basin’s wells were drilled prior to the 1960’s and were too shallow to fully evaluate the section.
• The tectonic style of the Bove basin is conducive to the formation of structures that produce traps capable of pooling large reserves.

Simba is set to provide 100% funding of all program costs in the first year, and 60% of all program costs thereafter.

Robert Dinning, President & CEO remarks, “We are pleased to have received formal approval of this transaction, including the right to be the operator, and can now proceed with the investment necessary to explore an asset that we believe has great exploration potential. Simba is the first Canadian company to explore for oil and gas in onshore Guinea. We will initiate the seep survey in the near future covering a number of specific target areas with known seeps.”

April 13, 2012 Vancouver, British Columbia, Simba Energy Inc. (the “Company”) (TSXV: SMB, Frankfurt: GDA, OTCQX: SMBZF) is pleased to report it has been notified by GeoDynamics Research S.R.L. (Italy) that on site reconnaissance of its 100% interest in Block 2A – Kenya is to commence in April. Crew and equipment is scheduled to arrive early May 2012 and we will begin an extensive program acquiring passive seismic survey data.

The scope of this survey covers 750 square kilometers with 250 MPS (measuring points) on 2 km spacing to identify, and evaluate areas with hydrocarbon potential on Simba’s Block 2A.

James W. Dick, P Geol., P. Eng., (APEGGA), and Qualified Person in accordance with NI 51-101, and a Director of the Company remarks “The planned survey covers a portion of both basins within Block 2A where the Company has already identified 2 exploration leads by re-working existing 2D seismic data. These existing exploration leads will receive the immediate focus along with any additional leads identified from ongoing 2D re-interpretation. The potential areas identified will be further evaluated by conventional seismic most likely 3D or 2D and/or gravity gradiometer prior to selecting a drill site.”

The acquisition work in the field is expected to take 30 days with a report due within 30 days upon completion of field work.

About Passive Seismic Spectroscopy (IPDS®)

Infrasonic Passive Differential Spectroscopy (IPDS) is a direct hydrocarbon indictor process which utilizes high sensitivity seismometers. The seismometers presently used are even more sensitive and are used in an extensive worldwide grid monitoring the earth’s subsurface seismic activity. This grid identifies the background noise as a frequency spectrum.

IPDS detects low frequency in the 1-8 Hz range as spectral signatures over hydrocarbon reservoirs. A hydrocarbon reservoir is a frequency converter and deforms the frequency of the natural earth noise. These deformed signals on spectroscopic analysis produce unique spectral signatures which are used as Direct Hydrocarbon Indication. IPDS technology has been tested in numerous basins and reservoirs all around the world in areas including currently producing, depleted, abandoned fields and virgin reservoirs. In over 120 surveys it has proven to be correct 80% of the time which is a marked improvement in the current wildcat success ratio. Its use on Simba’s Block 2A to evaluate known structures should move the Exploration program ahead by at least one or two years while reducing risk.
