Strategic Changes 2011
6
Transformation deal signed with the Mzuri Group in December 2010 and completed in March 2011 gave the Company access to one of the largest gold exploration ground holdings in Tanzania in both traditional and newly emerging gold areas.
Mzuri transaction accompanied by dual listing and placing on the JSE in June 2011 which gave Kibo access to African investors and raised its profile as an ambitious African explorer with a Tanzanian focus and positioned it to attract and complete deals on attractive early stage and advanced mineral projects.
Re-structuring of the Board in March and November 2011 with the appointment of experienced Mzuri executives who have a successful record of operation and mineral discovery success in Tanzania. Louis Coetzee appointed as CEO.
Relinquishment of the Company’s legacy projects at Itetemia and Luhala in December 2011 to focus resources on exploration over newly acquired ground and on the acquisition of more economically robust and lower risk development projects.
Commencement of a £5.3M exploration programme in Q4 2011 of which Stage 1 expenditure of £0.8M has been completed. This was supported by a capital raising in February 2011 of £0.75M fully subscribed to by Mzuri Capital Group.
Major acquisition underway which includes a NI 43-101 Compliant 109 Mt thermal coal resource in southern Tanzania.

Lake Victoria Goldfields
Lake Victoria
Large portfolio of early stage mineral tenements covering 2,700 km2 scattered throughout the central most gold prolific areas within the Lake Victoria Goldfield.
Region contains world class gold mines at Bulyanhulu (13 M oz.) and Geita (23 Moz.) and other multi-million ounce mines at North Mara, Buswagi and Golden Pride (resources in the range 1 to 5 Moz.).
Pipeline of more recent and some historic discoveries undergoing advanced exploration and feasibility, including African Barrick’s 4 Moz. Nyanzaga deposit and Tanzanian Royalty’s 0.8 Moz. Buck Reef deposit.
Kibo’s tenements are distributed within six large geographical blocks which cover the composite Sukumaland Greenstone Belt, Tanzania’s most richly gold endowed terrain.
Stage 1 field exploration targeted regional gold soil geochemical anomalies on four licences by in-fill soil sampling. Results have indicated areas for follow-up trenching and RAB/aircore drilling during Stage 2 exploration.

Morogoro (North & South) Projects
Morogoro Large portfolio of mineral tenements covering 8,900 km2 within the newly emerging
goldfield in the Morogoro-Dodoma-Handeni areas of Tanzania. Kibo tenement blocks are adjacent to recent artisanal mining discoveries. Discovery of high grade Magambazi gold deposit (30 km northeast of the Dodoma licence
block) by Canaco Resources in 2009 supports the potential of the region for the discovery of significant gold mineralisation.
Significant gold bearing structure (Ruvu Nappe) identified on Morogoro South block along which Stage 1 field exploration results have identified a number of gold-in-soil anomalies extending South from an active small scale gold mining operation (Udovelo) over 28 km.
Stage 2 follow-up exploration will comprise detailed infill soil sampling, prospecting and geological mapping of these areas with the objective of establishing near term drill targets.

Haneti Project
Haneti Early stage nickel-platinum-gold project covering area of ~7,000 km2
Straddles major geological boundary along sheared thrust front. Key target: 80 km long ultramafic belt from which grades up to 13% nickel and 2.33 grams
per tonne platinum & palladium were obtained. Full results from recent ground EM & magnetic geophysical surveying on two target areas
pending but preliminary results indicate presence of EM conductors that will provide early nickel sulphide targets for drilling in 2012.
Extensive artisanal gold mining in northwest of project block on continuation of Londoni Greenstone Belt (Shanta Mining’s 1 Moz. Singida project is located just outside the northwest corner of the project).

Recent Major Investments
Rukwa Coal & Pinewood
Rukwa is a NI 43-101 compliant resource of 109 Mt (71.33 Mt Inferred/38.05 Mt Indicated) thermal coal resource located in the Gaula coal field in southern Tanzania discovered and drilled by the Mzuri Group in the period 2008 to 2011.
The project comprises two Prospecting Licences (PLs) and two contiguous PL applications covering a total area of 1,557 km2 that provide excellent potential to expand the current coal resource by continued exploration.
The project is owned and operated by Rukwa Coal Ltd. a Tanzanian company which is 100% owned by Mzuri Energy Holdings Ltd (MEL) for which Kibo has recently signed an agreement to acquire at least 51%.
The Pinewood project comprises just over 18,000km2 of uranium and coal PLs and PL applications over a large area of southern Tanzania which has seen significant discovery success and investment in recent years.
Both projects are located within the “Mtwara Corridor”, an area for which that the Tanzanian Government has committed to significant infrastructural development and which has seen recent multi-million dollar foreign investments in coal and coal fired power stations and uranium.

Recent Announcements - Haneti & Rukwa
Kibo announced on 8 May 2012 that it had signed a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with a subsidiary of Brazilian industrial conglomerate Votorantim Group (Votorantim) to pursue negotiations with a view to entering a definitive joint venture agreement on the Haneti project.
The terms of the MOU provide for Votorantim to contribute £2.7 M to exploration expenditure over a three year earn-in period to acquire a 50% interest in the project. An expenditure of £0.5 M by Votorantim would be required by 31 December 2013.
On the 15th May 2012, Kibo further announced that Mzuri Energy Holdings Ltd had signed an MOU with an Asian global conglomerate to pursue negotiations on the development of the Rukwa coal resource and a 250-350 MW mine mouth coal fired power station.
These MOUs represent an independent affirmation of the prospectivity and development potential of the Haneti and Rukwa projects and should enable the Company to accelerate exploration and development of these assets.
The announcements are in line with the Company strategy of entering strategic relationships with major industry players to fast track projects while divesting risk.
