Kibo Mining Plc (the "Company") wishes to advise that in order to simplify its UK broking
arrangements, Northland Capital Partners Limited ("Northland") will act as sole UK broker to
the Company forthwith. Cornhill Capital Limited ("Cornhill"), will no longer be retained as a
joint broker alongside Northland. The Company wishes to thank Cornhill for the assistance it
has provided the Company over the last 2 years.

General Background & Strategy

Kibo was established in early 2008 to explore and develop mineral deposits in Tanzania, East
Africa and was admitted to AIM on 27 April 2010 and AltX in South Africa on 30 May 2011.
The Board of Kibo is composed of professionals whose experience include mineral
exploration, mine development, mining finance, tax, law, mergers and acquisitions, and
financial control of public companies. It is supported by competent and motivated Tanzanian
staffs that operate from Kibo's operations office in Dar es Salaam.
The mineral assets of the Company now comprise five projects in Tanzania - Haneti (nickel,
PGE and gold), Morogoro (Gold), Lake Victoria (Gold), Rukwa (Coal) and Pinewood (Coal
& Uranium) which give Kibo access to 38,000 km2 of early stage exploration licences in
Tanzania's premier gold mining region, the Lake Victoria Goldfield, within the emerging
gold exploration regions in eastern Tanzania and uranium and coal regions in south-western
Tanzania.

The Rukwa and Pinewood projects will provide Kibo shareholders with exposure to an
attractive portfolio of strategic energy assets in Tanzania. Importantly, they are situated
within and close to the Mtwara Corridor, an area where the Tanzanian Government has
committed to significant infrastructure development and which has seen recent multi-million
dollar investment in coal and coal-fired power stations and uranium exploration.

The Rukwa project is substantially more advanced than Kibo’s existing exploration projects,
with a significant Mineral Resource of thermal coal already defined. This provides nearer
term development and commercialisation potential, complementing the earlier stage existing
projects held by Kibo. This is further supported by the memorandum of understanding that
has already been entered into with a major Asian conglomerate for the development of a coal
mine and mine-mouth coal-fired power plant based on the Rukwa project.

In addition, the Pinewood project encompasses a significant ground holding of prospective
Karoo sequence sedimentary rocks. These sediments are attracting considerable interest
from international companies exploring for uranium and coal mineralisation following some
notable discoveries in recent years.

Kibo's objective is to build shareholder value in a sustainable manner. This objective will be
pursued primarily through active exploration of its own projects and by using the Company's
experience in Tanzania to acquire attractive exploration and development assets on
competitive terms that can be moved swiftly up the value curve by using the Company’s own
skills base whilst also seeking to benefit from strategic collaborative relationships with
industry leaders who have special skills and competencies within their chosen fields of focus.
Kibo will undertake continual risk assessment of its projects and take whatever actions it
believes are necessary to ensure that these risks are mitigated.
