Toronto, (March 9, 2009) - African Aura Resources Ltd. ("African Aura" or the "Company", TSX-V: AAZ) an exploration company with gold, iron ore and uranium exploration activities in Cameroon and Liberia, announces plans to undertake a reconnaissance diamond drilling programme on a 3km long section of the 10km long Nkout iron ore prospect in Southern Cameroon.

10km long magnetic dipole at Nkout coincides with topographic high
Drilling to test initial 3km long zone grading up to 65% Fe at surface
Up to ten reconnaissance holes planned to commence in May 2009
In house drilling equipment and drill team to be mobilised to site

The Company is mobilising one of its two in-country diamond drilling rigs to the Nkout prospect to commence reconnaissance diamond drilling in May with an initial programme of up to ten holes, each drilled to 100m depth. Collars will be located approximately 250m apart along a 3km long section of the Nkout prospect where a previous programme of grab sampling at surface yielded an average grade of 54% Fe.

John Gray, President & CEO commented:
"The results from geological mapping and initial surface sampling of a 3km long section of the 10km long Nkout iron ore prospect were highly encouraging, with grades up to 65% iron and an average of 54% iron. African Aura has the flexibility and opportunity to accelerate its iron exploration programme with reconnaissance drill testing using its in-house diamond drills. The Nkout prospect is strategically located between the Mbalam iron deposit located 150km to the south east, and the site of a proposed deep water port at Kribi on the Atlantic coast, and situated close to existing infrastructure in a significant iron ore province. We look forward to updating shareholders with the results from this programme in due course"

About the Nkout iron prospect, Southern Cameroon
The Nkout iron prospect is located on the 1,000km2 Djoum licence which is held by the Company's 100% owned subsidiary Caminex SARL. The prospect was identified by interpretation of historic airborne magnetic and remote sensing data and is defined by a 10km long discontinuous ridge, coincident with a magnetic dipole hosted by Archaean-age rocks. The Company considers that the dimensions of Nkout and surrounding hills represent a potentially economic iron deposit. Nkout is also strategically well located in the sub-region which hosts a number of significant iron deposits. Of those that are under exploration and development, the closest is the Mbalam deposit being developed by Sundance Resources Limited, located approximately 150km to the south east.

As previously announced, in 2008 the Company collected 44 reconnaissance samples from a 3km by 3.75km area on the eastern section of the Nkout ridge, which returned a maximum grade of 65% iron, and an average grade of 54% iron. X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy show that the samples comprise mainly high grade haematite along with magnetite and goethite.
