Notes to editors
Kibo is a multi-asset resource development and energy company with a long-term goal of becoming a
leading power producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Company aims to tackle the acute power deficit
which is severely hindering economic development in the region.
To assist in the execution of its power projects, Kibo has assembled an international team of advisors and
partners including Engineering Procurement and Construction (‘EPC’) contractors and financial teams that
are assisting in the advancement and development of the MCPP. These include ABSA/Barclays as Financial
Advisor, China based EPC contractor SEPCO III, General Electric, Tractebel Engineering (Power), Minxcon
Consulting (Mining) and legal advisors Norton Rose Fulbright.
Kibo’s flagship asset is the Mbeya Coal to Power Project (‘MCPP’) in Tanzania, which comprises the Mbeya
Coal Mine, a 1.5Mt p/a mining operation, and the Mbeya Power Plant, a 300MW mine-mouth thermal power
station. The Mbeya Coal Mine has a defined 120.8 Mt NI 43 101 thermal coal resource. A Definitive Feasibility
Study has been conducted on the project which underpinned its value and confirmed an initial rate of return
of 69.2%. The 300MW mouth-of-mine thermal power station has long term scalability with the potential to
become a 1000MW plant. The completed full Power Feasibility Study highlighted a power output target of
1,800 GWh/a based on annual average coal consumption of 1.5Mt. An Integrated Bankable Feasibility Study
report for the entire project indicated total potential revenues of US$ 7.5-8.5 billion over an initial 25-year
mine life, post tax equity IRR between 21-22%, debt pay-back period of 11-12 years and a construction period
of 36 months.
Kibo also has an 85% interest in the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project (‘MCIPP’), a nearly identical
power project in Botswana. The project consists of 300Mt subset of the current in-situ 777Mt Coal Resource
and has water and land use permits and environmental certification in place. A Pre- Feasibility Study on the
coal mine has been completed, as has a Scoping Study, which highlight the power plant having a maximum
capacity of 600MW (4x150MW) based on a coal delivery rate of 3.2Mtpa and a Life of Mine of over 30
years.
Furthermore Kibo also has a Joint Venture agreement with Mozambique energy company Termoeléctrica de
Benga S.A. ('Termoeléctrica') to participate in the further assessment and potential development of the Benga
Independent Power Project ('BIPP'), including the right to construct and operate a 150-300MW coal fired
power station. Kibo and Termoeléctrica shall hold initial Participation Interests in the unincorporated joint
venture of 65% and 35% respectively.
