A copy of this Annual Report will also be available from the Company s website at Details of the date and venue for this year s AGM, which will take place towards the middle of July, will be announced shortly. Louis Coetzee, CEO of the Kibo, commented today: We are pleased to present positive 2015 financial results at a pivotal time in Kibo s development. We are well on the way towards completing our Integrated Bankable Feasibility Study on the flagship Mbeya Coal to Power Project ( MCPP ) in co-operation with our joint development partner, SEPCO III. The positive results from the reports completed during 2015 as outlined in our Annual Report, not only secured a Joint Development Agreement with SEPCO III, but moved Kibo towards becoming a more mature development company. This is well demonstrated by the Company s MCPP Project which has progressed to advanced feasibility status in less than a year. The Company also succeeded in getting all its remaining exploration projects back into active exploration status, and this includes the commencement of two Joint Ventures during 2015.

2 Comments from the Chairman, Christian Schaffalitzky: 2015 saw our Company achieve several important milestones that I believe lay the foundations for us to graduate as a mining company from our formative years in exploration. We have reached this critical stage despite another tough year for commodities and a depressed market for mining equities. The Company s main achievements are: The near completion of definitive feasibility studies (DFS) on both the proposed coal mine and its dedicated power plant at our Mbeya Coal to Power Project (MCPP); and The completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment on our Imweru gold project. In parallel, we continued with exploration at Haneti, where the prospectivity for nickel, copper and platinum group metals was enhanced; and work commenced on our Morogoro gold and Pinewood uranium projects, with our joint venture partner, Metal Tiger plc. Furthermore, the increase in the carrying value of intangible assets from GBP14.4 million at to GBP17.6 million at as a result of a reversal of previously recognised impairment reflects the significant progress made with regard to the MCPP..
