February 6, 2006

Vancouver, Canada - Amanta Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement financing of up to $1,500,000. The placement will comprise the sale of up to 5,000,000 Units, to be sold at $0.30 per Unit, subject to regulatory approval and closing. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.45 for 24 months from closing. The securities issued in the private placement will be subject to a hold period, which expires four months after closing. Proceeds of the financing will be used to advance the Company’s Doi Ngom Tungsten Project and Langu Gold Project, both in Thailand, and for working capital.

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