Mukuba Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:MKU) ("Mukuba" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has commenced reverse circulation drilling on
several targets within its BENZU JV. The project is located in the Katanga
Copper Belt and is adjacent to the Tenke-Fungurume mine operated by Freeport
McMoRan, Lundin and Gecamines.


The Katanga Copper Belt is estimated to contain nearly 10% of the world's copper
and almost 50% of the world's cobalt resources. This belt contains over 90 known
deposits that vary in size between approximately 90 Mt and 550 Mt and average
around 3.6% Cu. Some of the resources are amongst the largest and highest grade
in the world including the resources at Tenke-Fungurume reported to be
approximately 550 Mt grading 3.5% Cu and 0.27% Co and resources at Kolwezi (KOV)
containing approximately 760 Mt grading 4.4% Cu.


Approximately 4,000 metres of RAB and 11,000 metres of Reverse Circulation
drilling are to be completed over the next few months. 


Update Zambia Projects

The program of regional soil sampling on the Northcore and Nyimba projects in
Zambia across various new target areas is progressing well and should be
completed during August 2011. It is anticipated that additional drill targets
will be identified and selected on the basis of coincident soil geochemical and
airborne geophysical anomalies.


Trevor Richardson, Mukuba's President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased to
get the drilling program underway on our BENZU JV in the DRC. The confirmed
geophysical anomalies along the same trend as Tenke-Fungurume are going to be
the focus of drilling over the next few months."


About the Company 

Mukuba is a Canadian mining company focused on the exploration and development
of the Northcore Project, which is located in the highly prospective Central
African Copperbelt region of Central Zambia. Mukuba holds a 100% interest in the
Northcore Project which is licensed for both copper and cobalt and encompasses
approximately 2,274 square km of geologically prospective ground in the Domes
Region of the Zambian Copperbelt. Geological mapping, soil sampling and
investigation of the historical showings as well as ground-truthing of the
geological surveying results have confirmed existing historical geological
anomalies, and identified new anomalies. Encouraging intersections from numerous
boreholes during the Company's 2010 exploration program confirmed the presence
of copper mineralization. 


Mukuba also has an exclusive Option Agreement between Lukusashi and Lunga
Resources Limited ("Lunga"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mukuba Resources
Limited, to purchase an 85% interest in the Nyimba Project license rights (see
Press Release dated September 16, 2010) located near the town of Nyimba
approximately 300 km east of Lusaka, Zambia. The Nyimba Project is well advanced
and substantial exploration work has been completed to date. The polymetallic
deposits at Nyimba host zinc, with copper, lead, molybdenum, silver and gold and
were systematically explored and partially drilled by Minex (Mindeco), a Zambian
government department in the late 1970's and early 1980's and were later
acquired by Rio Tinto-Zinc Corporation (RTZ-now Rio Tinto) in 1994. Mukuba
continues to assess historic exploration records which indicate there are five
defined areas of mineralization within the 500 square kilometre license area.
The most prospective area appears to be Chipirinyuma, where soil sampling by
Minex and Rio Tinto defined a surface anomaly measuring 3.5 km by 1.2 km and
drilling by Mukuba confirmed base metal mineralization.
