VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 11, 2007 -- Keegan Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KGN) -
Keegan is pleased to announce that it has completed an Induced Polarization (IP) program over the entire 16 kilometer strike length of the Bia Fault target area at the Asumura project that has defined at least two anomalies of major regional significance. In August 2006 aeromagnetic data obtained by Keegan for the western Sefwi-Bibiani Belt (the Belt) revealed the Bia Fault target area, a large northeast trending aeromagnetic break continuous with the major regional fault structure hosting Newmont's Ahafo Mine.

The two strongest high resistivity/high chargeability anomalies at Asumura define areas greater than 2 km in strike length and up to 500 meters in width (please see figures at www.keeganresources.com). These anomalies may indicate the presence of a strongly silicified sulfide and/or carbon altered intrusive contacts. Results from the augur drilling program currently underway on these important IP anomalies will enable Keegan to better refine targets for drilling later in the year.

Dan McCoy, President and CEO of Keegan Resources, states: "The sheared western boundary of the Sefwi-Bibiani belt is an exceptional target. The multi-kilometer scale of the strong aeromagnetic and IP anomalies at Asumura show that the property has room to develop drill targets over areas large enough to host major deposits as seen at Newmonts Ahafo Mine. The augur drilling program will provide the geochemical and geological data necessary to prioritize and drill these prospective anomalies."

The IP studies have been done using standard pole-dipole technique using state of the art equipment and crews developed by PMI Ventures Ltd. in Ghana. 2-D Inversions are accomplished using the UBC inversion program. Vincent Dzakpasu, a qualified member of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in the United Kingdom is Keegan's QP on the property.
