Mukuba Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:MKU) ("Mukuba" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has mobilized a drill rig to undertake a program of
diamond drilling across the Chipirinyuma prospect within the Nyimba Project Area
located east of Lusaka, Zambia.


The Chipirinyuma prospect was identified via a soil sampling and drilling
program that defined a target of massive sulphide mineralization at shallow
depths over a surface expression measuring 3.5 km by 1.2 km (see Press Release
dated Sept. 16, 2010). Mukuba's drilling program has been designed to confirm
the results of the historical drilling which includes two holes completed by
Lukusashi Mining last year.


Geohydro Drilling Company, a subsidiary of Geohydro Consulting Services Limited,
operating out of Lusaka, has been mobilized to complete a reconnaissance
programme of up to 500 metres of drilling and is expected to be completed within
30 days.


The Nyimba Project hosts polymetallic deposits of zinc, with copper, lead,
molybdenum, silver, and gold, and these deposits were systematically explored
and partially drill-tested by Minex (Mindeco), a Zambian government department,
in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Nyimba Project rights were acquired by
Rio Tinto-Zinc Corporation (RTZ - now Rio Tinto) in 1994, which carried out EM,
magnetic, and radiometric surveys, as well as initial RC drilling. Exploration
work on the Property ceased in 1997 when Rio Tinto, together with other mining
companies, withdrew from Zambia.


Trevor Richardson, Mukuba's President and CEO, commented, "The Chipirinyuma
Prospect within the Nyimba Project Area is a near-surface, massive sulphide
deposit with excellent results from historical drilling. We are confident that
we can confirm these historical results and upon completion of this program and
assessment of the results, Mukuba will look towards a resource drilling program
on the Chipirinyuma Prospect in 2011."


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. The Northcore Project encompasses
approximately 2,274 square kilometres of geologically prospective ground in the
Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt. Mukuba's exploration licenses for the
Northcore Project cover both copper and cobalt. Geological mapping, soil
sampling, investigation of the historical showings, ground-truthing of the
geological surveying results and drilling carried out by the Company have
confirmed existing historical geological anomalies, identified new anomalies and
confirmed the presence of copper mineralization. 


Mukuba also has the exclusive option to acquire an 85% interest in the
exploration license rights to the Nyimba Project 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 on its
polymetallic deposits which hosts zinc, with copper, lead, molybdenum, silver
and gold. 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 (4.2 square kilometres).
