SMB Simba Essel Energy Inc

Simba Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SMB) (FRANKFURT:GDA) (OTCQX:SMBZF) (the "Company"
or "Simba") announces that it has granted permission to Taipan Resources Inc.
("Taipan") operator of Block 2B in Kenya, to carry out 2-D seismic in an area
located in the southwest corner of Simba`s Block 2A just to the north of their
Pearl prospect. 


Taipan, having already completed a small amount 2D seismic (22 line kilometers
in total) in the southwest corner of Block 2A and provided the processed data to
the Company, have requested permission to conduct an additional 24 line
kilometers of 2D seismic within this same area. This work will comprise six
lines, mostly 'tails', and is part of Taipan's current seismic program that aims
to finalize a drilling location for their first exploration well planned for the
fourth quarter of 2014 at the Pearl prospect which lies just south of the
Company's Block 2A boundary. This work is expected to be completed by the end of
February and the seismic data will be forwarded to Simba at the conclusion of
processing.


Once interpreted, this seismic data will serve to complement Simba's existing
dataset as well as future seismic work contemplated by the Company's recently
announced LOI to conduct further exploration on block 2A. This includes FTG
(Full Tensor Gravity) and 2D seismic coverage over the area of the Anza Basin
underlying the southwest of Simba's Block 2A. FTG has been the most effective
exploration tool for identifying prospects throughout the East African rift
system. 


"Africa Oil's upcoming well on the Sala prospect in Block 9 and Taipan`s planned
Pearl-1 well on the south border of Block 2A strongly suggest that a potential
"String of Pearls" trend passes through the south western corner of our block,
as both prospects are located at the basin edge where this type of play is
found. The Anza basin`s edge passes through the western part of Block 2A",
remarked Simba's CTO & Director, James W. Dick P. Geol., P. Eng.


The Anza basin is one of the largest Tertiary-age rift basins in the East
African rift system and demonstrates a similar geological setting to the South
Lokichar basin where Tullow and Africa Oil have recently had significant
discoveries.


James W. Dick, director of the Company and qualified person in accordance with
National Instrument 51-101, has reviewed and approves the technical disclosure
in this news release.
