Placing and Open Offer Raises  £9.5million

AFRICAN EAGLE RESOURCES PLC
("African Eagle" or the "Company")
RESULTS OF PLACING AND OPEN OFFER RAISING GROSS PROCEEDS OF £9.5 MILLION
African Eagle Resources plc (AIM: AFE; AltX: AEA) is pleased to announce that
the 200,000,000 new Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the Placing at 4
pence per share have been allotted, conditional on Admission, to institutional
and other investors, representing gross proceeds of £8 million.  The Placing
Warrants over 100,000,000 new Ordinary Shares exercisable at 5.5 pence per share
will also be issued to placees as of Admission.
In addition, the Company is pleased to confirm that it has received applications
from Eligible Shareholders participating in the Open Offer representing
38,918,709 Open Offer Shares which have also been allotted, conditional on
Admission, to the relevant applicants at 4 pence per share, representing gross
proceeds of £1,556,748.
Application has been made for admission of the 238,918,709 Placing Shares and
Open Offer Shares to trade on AIM and AltX which is expected to take place at
8.00 a.m. on 26 April 2012.
The IFC is participating in the Placing for a total of £1.3 million as part of
the Placing and will be making that investment on the basis of the same
agreements it entered into in relation to its previous £3.1 million investment
in the Company, announced on 9 November 2011.  IFC's investment is on a fully
independent basis and on the same commercial terms as the other investors in the
Placing. Solely by virtue of its shareholding in the Company before Admission of
10 per cent, IFC's investment constitutes a related party transaction for the
purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. In light of the above, the
Directors consider, having consulted with Canaccord (the Company's nominated
advisor), that the terms of IFC's participation in the Placing are fair and
reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned.
The total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in issue following
Admission will be 694,014,407.  This figure may be used by Shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, African
Eagle under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Interim African Eagle Chairman Dr Chris Pointon commented:
"We would like to thank all the shareholders, both existing and new, who
participated in this Placing and Open Offer and the encouraging level of support
for the Company, the proceeds of which will be used towards funding the bankable
feasibility study for our Dutwa nickel project in Tanzania"
Terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the same meaning as
those set out in the circular issued by African Eagle to its Shareholders on 5
April 2012.
