Forward Looking and other Cautionary Information

This release includes certain statements that may be deemed
"forward-looking statements". All statements in this release, other than
statements of historical facts, that address estimated resource
quantities, grades and contained metals, possible future mining,
exploration and development activities, are forward-looking statements.
In particular, Preliminary Economic Assessments are preliminary in
nature, including Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to
them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and
there is no certainty that the findings of the Preliminary Assessment
will be realized. Although the Company believes the expectations
expressed in the Preliminary Economic Assessment and other
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such
statements should not be in any way construed as guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements
include market prices for metals, the conclusions of detailed feasibility
and technical analyses, lower than expected grades and quantities of
resources, mining rates and recovery rates and the lack of availability
of necessary capital, which may not be available to the Company on terms
acceptable to it or at all. The Company is subject to the specific risks
inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business
conditions. For more information on the Company, Investors should review
the Company's annual Form 20-F filing with the United States Securities
Commission and its home jurisdiction filings that are available at
www.sedar.com.

Information Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred
Resources This news release also uses the terms 'indicated resources' and
'inferred resources'. Keegan Resources Inc. advises investors that
although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations
(under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize
them. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the
mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into
reserves. In addition, 'inferred resources' have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It
cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource
will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of
feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies except for
Preliminary Assessment as defined under 43-101. Investors are cautioned
not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is
economically or legally mineable.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor the Investment Industry Regulatory
Organization of Canada accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release.
