AMANTA ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
April 18, 2007

Amanta Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange: AMH) is pleased to announce a private placement of up to 6,250,000 units at a price of $0.32 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Each unit will consist of one common share plus one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.45 for a period of 18 months from closing. A finder’s fee may be paid on all or a portion of the placement.

Net proceeds from the private placement will be used to conduct an initial drill program at the Company’s Mae Lama Tungsten property, to accelerate the drill program currently underway on the Company’s Langu Gold Project and for general working capital. The private placement and finder’s fee are subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.

Amanta Resources Ltd. is focused on mineral exploration, development and production in Thailand and the Southeast Asian region. The Company concentrates on the systematic evaluation of known mineral occurrences, rather than "greenfields" exploration, creating early opportunities to finance and develop mines.
