 Manica Project: Resource Upgrade and Significant Improvement on Grade at the  
                              Fair Bride Prospect                              

Pan African Resources PLC (AIM: PAF, Altx: PAN), the African based gold mining
and exploration company is pleased to announce a further increase in resource
at the Manica gold project in Mozambique and a substantial increase in the
grade at the Fair Bride prospect, for which the Company will announce the
results of a pre-feasibility early in Q2 2008.

Highlights:

  * Manica resource increased by 10% to 1.700Moz contained gold compared to the
    previously reported 1.550Moz.
   
  * Grade at the Fair Bride prospect increased by 94% to 5,49g/t in situ, from
    the previously reported 2,83g/t in situ.
   
  * Total resource grade for the Manica deposit increased by 56% to 4,61g/t in
    situ from the previously reported 2,96g/t in situ.
   
The increase in the grade is the result of (a) optimisation with regard to
width of mineralised zone, resulting in narrower width but higher grades and
(b) additional high grade zones delineated along strike and to depth.

The RC (`Reverse Circulation') programme at the Manica project has been
completed and the Company is currently completing follow up core drilling on
two adjacent targets to the Fair Bride prospect. These results and the
outstanding assay results, as mentioned in the release dated 20 January 2008
are not included in the current resource upgrade and will be reported on as
soon as the results are received from the laboratory. The resource will be
reviewed accordingly.

The total Manica resource has been upgraded from 1.550Moz at 2.96g/t in situ to
1.701Moz at 4,61g/t in situ. The resource at the Fair Bride prospect has been
increased by 12% to 1.396Moz at 5.49g/t as part of the ongoing pre-feasibility
study that will be complete by Q1 2008 and reported to the market in Q2 2008
once the results have been independently verified.

The revised resource statement for the Manica project is shown in the table
below.

Jan Nelson, CEO of Pan African, commented: "These results have significantly
exceeded our expectations and we are particularly pleased with the grade that
has almost doubled at the Fair Bride prospect. The increase in the in situ
grade will impact positively on the economic viability of the deposit and we
expect a significant optimisation from the scoping study completed previously."
