Kibo Mining - Notes to editors
Kibo Mining is listed on the AIM market in London and the AltX in Johannesburg. The Company is
focused on exploration and development of mineral projects in Tanzania, and controls one of Tanzania's
largest mineral right portfolios. Tanzania provides a secure and stable operating environment for the
mineral resource industry and Kibo Mining therein.
Kibo Mining holds a thermal coal deposit at Mbeya, which has a significant NI 43-101 compliant
defined resource, and is developing a 250-350 MW mouth-of-mine thermal power station, the Mbeya
Coal to Power Project ("MCPP"), previously called Rukwa Coal to Power Project ("RCPP"), with an
established management team that includes ABSA / Barclays as Financial Advisor. Kibo is undertaking
a Coal Mining Definitive Feasibility Study and a Power Pre- Feasibility Study for the Mbeya project
with an integrated Bankable Feasibility Study report for the MCPP to be released in the near term. On
25 August 2016, Kibo signed an Agreement with China based EPC contractor SEPCO III granting it the
right to become the sole bidder for the EPC contract to build the power plant component of the MCPP
in exchange for SEPCO III refunding 50% of the development costs incurred by Kibo to date on the
project. Kibo has already received the first tranche of this funding in the amount of US$1.8 million on
the 5th September 2016
The Company also has extensive gold focused interests including Lake Victoria Goldfields and
Morogoro projects. At Lake Victoria, the Company has 100% owned projects with a 550,000 oz. JORC
compliant gold Mineral Resource at the Imweru Project and a 168,000 oz. NI 43-101 compliant gold
Mineral Resource at the Lubando Project. The Company is currently undertaking a Definitive
Feasibility Study on its Imweru Project.
Kibo also holds the Haneti Project on which the latest technical report confirms prospectivity for nickel,
PGMs, gold and strategic metals including lithium.
Kibo Mining further holds the Pinewood (coal & uranium) project where the company has entered into
a 50/50 Exploration Joint Venture with Metal Tiger plc.
Finally, the Company also holds the Morogoro (gold) project where the company has also entered into a
50/50 Exploration Joint Venture with Metal Tiger plc.
The Company's projects are located 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 prioritized infrastructural development attracting significant recent investment in coal
and uranium. The Company has a positive working relationship with the Tanzanian government at
local, regional and national levels and works hard to maintain positive relationships with all
communities where company interests are held. The Company recognizes the potential to enhance the
quality of life and opportunity for Tanzanian citizens through careful development of its projects.
