Attention Business Editors:

     /THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO
     U.S. NEWS AGENCIES/

     TORONTO, June 12 /CNW/ - Africo Resources Ltd. (TSX: ARL) is pleased to
confirm that, further to its news release of April 21, 2008, Africo's
shareholders have voted to approve the $100M private placement at a price of
$2.50 per unit by Camrose Resources Limited ("Camrose") and the associated
transactions with Camrose as detailed in that press release. Each unit will
consist of a common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant. Each whole
warrant will entitle Camrose to acquire an additional common share at a price
of $3.50 per share for an eighteen month period following closing. This
placement will result in Camrose owning approximately 60% of the outstanding
share capital of Africo prior to the exercise of any warrants. Camrose is
entitled to majority representation on the Board of Africo, and the right to
participate in future financings to maintain its percentage equity ownership.
     In terms of agreements concluded between Africo and Camrose and approved
by shareholders in today's vote, Camrose has agreed that the entity which is
involved in a legal dispute regarding the ownership of Africo's Kalukundi
property, and which was recently acquired by an affiliate of Camrose, will
unequivocally confirm Africo's ownership of 75% of the outstanding shares of
Swanmines, the entity holding the Kalukundi project, in consideration for
which Africo will issue an aggregate of 5,400,000 common shares to Camrose.
     Africo has also agreed to acquire 75% of the Mashitu property, adjacent
to Kalukundi, from an affiliate of Camrose, with the remaining 25% interest
continuing to be held by Gecamines. The purchase price is to be based on a
valuation to be prepared by SRK and will be satisfied by the issuance of
common shares of Africo at a price per share of $2.50.
     Dr. Tony Harwood stated that: "We thank our shareholders for their
overwhelming support of this new partnership which will enable us to continue
building Africo and bringing the Kalukundi property into production. We look
forward to finalizing the transaction."
