From Its Main Poly-metallic Samapleu Deposit in Cote d'Ivoire Including 15

Metres of Semi-Massive Sulphide Material

VANCOUVER BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 17 2010) - Landen Capital

Corp. (TSX VENTURE:LAN) ("Landen") is pleased to announce the discovery of two

new mineralized zones located 1.3 kilometres ("km") and 1.4 km respectively

from Landen's main Samapleu poly-metallic deposit (the "Project"). Exploration

hole SM24-661614 drilled 1.3 km northeast of the Project intersected 106.2

metres ("m") of mineralized material including 15 m of semi-massive sulphide

(pyrrhotite ("Py") pentlandite ("Pn") and chalcopyrite ("Cp")). A second

exploration hole SM23-675562 located 1.4 km northwest of the Project

returned 25 m of ultramafic host with 2 m of up to 60% disseminated Py Pn and

Cp rich sulphide material.

"These two newly discovered mineralized zones open up a whole new perspective

and potential for the Project. We are very enthusiastic about the potential for

SODEMI and Landen to become major poly-metallic producers in West Africa" said

Dr. Audet President and CEO of Landen.

The Project is a joint venture amongst Landen's 100% owned subsidiary SAMA

Nickel Corporation ("Sama") (66 2/3%) and Societe pour le Developpement Minier

de Cote d'Ivoire ("SODEMI") (33 1/3%).

These two holes drilled last week were aimed at testing induced

polarization ("IP") anomalies that formed two parallel sectors several km long

and 500 m apart from each other. These two new discoveries increase the

potential of the Project by adding several km of prospective ground northwest

north and northeast of the Project. Both new zones extend outside Sama's cut

grid toward the west and the east. The reader is invited to visit Landen's

website: www.landencapital.com under item "Investors/May 2010 investor

presentation.pdf" for maps (slide 11) showing the location of these two new

parallel mineralized zones outlined by IP anomalies 01 and 02. Table 1 shows

the mineralized intersections for these two holes. Intervals with less than 10%

disseminated mineralization are not reported in Table 1. True width for these

mineral intersections are not known at this moment. However according to our

geological model these holes were planned to intersect the ultramafic host

perpendicular to the general strike and dip.

The semi-massive mineralized material intersected at the first new zone

called "Sama-Extension 1" presents a net-textured rock composed of intermixed

sulphides and olivine. Sulphide phases are composed of a light grey metallic

lust compound of combined Py-Pn and yellowish Cp phases. Cp phases are distinct

from the Py-Pn compound and locally represent up to 30% of the me
