Positive Rukwa Definitive Mining Feasibility Study (“DMFS”) Supports
Commencement of Power Feasibility Study
Highlights
Phase 1 Stage 1 of Rukwa DMFS completed ahead of schedule;
Positive outcome of Phase 1 Stage 1 of DMFS allows initiation of Rukwa Power Pre-Feasibility Study
Kibo Mining plc (“Kibo” or the “Company”), the mineral exploration and development company focused
on gold, nickel, coal and uranium in Tanzania, is pleased to announce that technical work for Phase 1
Stage 1 of the Rukwa DMFS has been completed ahead of schedule. The Company is now awaiting the
final technical report which is expected to be ready by the end of November 2014.
The positive results obtained from the work done on the Rukwa DMFS to date has prompted the Company
to immediately proceed with the Pre-Feasibility Study for the 300 MW coal fired power plant included in
the Rukwa Coal to Power Project (“RCPP”). The Pre-Feasibility Study on the power plant will be
conducted in two Phases. Phase 1 of the Pre-Feasibility Study is expected to be completed by the end of
November, allowing the Company to deliver a comprehensive, fully integrated, independent Scoping
Study (i.e. mining and power) for the RCPP, by early December 2014.
Louis Coetzee, C.E.O. of Kibo Mining, commented: “The rapid progress we have made and the strongly
positive results from the feasibility work on the RCPP to date, has substantially enhanced the Company’s
ability to finalize a robust and commercially sound transaction with a suitable development partner.”
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.
Kibo’s 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
