        Bogoin Gold Project, Central African Republic: Drilling Update         

Pan African Resources PLC (AIM: PAF, AltX: PAN), the African based gold mining
and exploration company announces the results of the first phase of Rotary Air
Blast ("RAB") drilling at the Bogoin gold project in the Central African
Republic.

Highlights:

  * Significant gold mineralisation intersections were achieved
   
  * Drill hole intersections confirm gold mineralisation at depth. Best
    mineralisation tenor is highlighted by the following drill hole results:
   
  * 
      + RAB 0002 - 1m @ 25.55g/t; 1m @ 7.95g/t & 1m @ 6.83g/t
       
      + RAB 0009 - 1m @ 6.30g/t
       
As announced on 19 November 2007, 2,085m of the 15,600m of the Bogoin Rotary
Air Blast ("RAB") drilling programme have been completed in the Central African
Republic and assay results from 21 boreholes have been received. Following the
completion of the verifications by the geological team the company announces
the following:

The following table outlines individual intersections made; width reported are

Jan Nelson, CEO of Pan African, commented: "The drilling results are being used
to confirm previous interpretations of gold mineralisation at surface to depths
of 15 - 35m. The drilling results received to date, have encouraged the Company
to speed up the drilling programme and as a result a Reverse Circulation ("RC")
drill rig will be on site by the end of Q1 2008 in addition to the RAB drill
rig.
