Kibo Mining - Notes to editors
Kibo was established in early 2008 to explore and develop mineral deposits in Tanzania. The
Company was admitted to AIM in London on 27 April 2010 and the AltX in Johannesburg on 30
May 2011. The Company is developing the Rukwa mouth-of-mine thermal power station and
controls one of Tanzania's largest mineral right portfolios, including the Haneti (nickel, PGE and
gold), Morogoro (gold), Lake Victoria (gold), and Pinewood (coal & uranium) projects.
Its projects are located both in the established and gold prolific Lake Victoria Goldfields, the
emerging goldfields of eastern Tanzania and the Mtwara Corridor in southern Tanzania where
the Government has prioritised infrastructural development attracting significant recent investment
in coal and uranium.
Kibo's objective is to build shareholder value sustainably. This will be achieved primarily through
exploration of its own projects and leveraging the Company's experience in Tanzania to acquire
exploration and development assets on competitive terms. The focus is on assets that can be
moved swiftly up the value curve whilst benefitting from strategic relationships with industry
leaders with special skills and competencies within their chosen fields.
Updates on the Company's activities are regularly posted on its website www.kibomining.com
