Attention Business Editors:

Africo receives unsolicited conditional proposal from Creat Group Co., Ltd.

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

     TORONTO, June 11 /CNW/ - Africo Resources Ltd. (TSX:ARL) announces that
it has received a non-binding, conditional proposal from Creat Group Co., Ltd.
("Creat"), an investment enterprise group based in Beijing, China, which
focuses on industrial, real estate, mineral resource and financial
investments. The proposal is for Creat to subscribe for 35 million units of
Africo at a price of CAD $3.00, each unit consisting of one common share of
Africo and one-half of one warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to
purchase an additional common share at a price of CAD $4.00 for a period of
24 months from the date of issuance. In addition, Creat proposed that it would
be responsible for arranging the balance of the capital required to develop
Africo's Kalukundi property and would assist Africo in resolving its
outstanding legal proceedings in the DRC regarding the ownership of Swanmines
Sprl. Creat stated that the completion of an investment would be subject to
due diligence by Creat, which would take approximately four months to
complete.
     Africo's management is of the view that it cannot consider the proposal
from Creat at this time as the proposal is in a very preliminary form and is
conditional upon, among other things, Creat performing due diligence to its
satisfaction. There is no assurance that any transaction contemplated by the
proposal could be finalized to Africo's satisfaction or that the current legal
dispute between Africo and Akam Mining sprl would be resolved.
     Africo maintains and re-confirms its recommendation to its shareholders
to approve the transactions contemplated with Camrose at Africo's annual and
special meeting scheduled for June 12, 2008, the details of which are included
in Africo's information circular dated May 14, 2008 and filed on
www.sedar.com. In making this recommendation, Africo's management is of the
view that the injection in the short term of $100 million equity capital by
Camrose at $2.50 per unit as well as the potential project synergies provided
through the adjacent Mashitu properties and the settlement of the Akam legal
dispute, when taken together, are in the best interests of Africo and its
shareholders. As outlined in the circular, the transactions with Camrose will
bring a resolution to the litigation surrounding Swanmines. If the transaction
with Camrose were not to proceed, there can be no assurance whatsoever as to
the outcome of such litigation.
