Lake Victoria Goldfields

Assets• Large portfolio of early stage mineral tenements covering 2,700 km2 scattered throughout the

central most gold prolific areas within the Lake Victoria Goldfield• Kibo’s tenements are distributed within six large geographical blocks which cover the composite

Sukumaland Greenstone Belt, Tanzania’s most richly endowed gold terrain

Area• Region contains world class gold mines at Bulyanhulu (16 Moz.) and Geita (23 Moz.) and other

multi-million ounce mines at North Mara, Buswagi and Golden Pride (resources in the range 1 to 5 Moz.)

• Pipeline of more recent and some historic discoveries undergoing advanced exploration and feasibility, including African Barrick’s 4 Moz. Nyanzaga deposit and Tanzanian Royalty’s 0.8 Moz. Buck Reef deposit

Work Undertaken• Stage 1 field exploration targeted regional gold soil geochemical anomalies on four licences by in-

fill soil sampling• Results have indicated areas for follow-up trenching and RAB/aircore drilling during Stage 2

exploration

Morogoro (North & South) Projects

Assets• Large portfolio covering 8,900 km2 within the newly emerging goldfield in the Morogoro-

Dodoma-Handeni areas of Tanzania • Kibo blocks are adjacent to recent artisanal mining discoveries• Discovery of high grade Magambazi gold deposit (30 km northeast of the Morogoro North licence

block) by Canaco Resources in 2009

Work Undertaken• Significant gold bearing structure (Ruvu Nappe) identified on Morogoro south block • Stage 1 field exploration results have identified a number of gold-in-soil anomalies extending

South from an active small scale gold mining operation (Udovelo) over 28 km

Future Exploration• Stage 2 follow-up exploration will comprise detailed infill soil sampling, prospecting and

geological mapping of these areas with the objective of establishing near term drill targets

Greenstone Belt • Shanta Mining’s 1 Moz. Singida project just outside northwest corner of the Haneti project

Work Undertaken• Recent ground EM & magnetic geophysical surveying on two target areas • Preliminary results indicate presence of EM conductors that will provide early nickel sulphide

targets for drilling in 2012 Key target

• 80 km long ultramafic belt from which grades up to 13% nickel and 2.33 grams per tonne platinum & palladium were obtained

Recent Announcements• 8 May 2012: Memo of Understanding (MOU) with a subsidiary of Brazilian industrial

Recent Major Investments

Page 16: Developing an integrated approach in Tanzania

Rukwa Coal & Pinewood

Mtwara Corridor• Projects are located within the Mtwara Corridor, an area where the Tanzanian Government has

committed to significant infrastructure development and which has seen recent multi-million dollar foreign investment in coal and coal-fired power stations and uranium exploration

Rukwa• NI 43-101 compliant resource of 109 Mt (71.34 Mt Indicated/38.05 Mt Inferred) thermal coal

resource located in the Gaula coal field, southern Tanzania• Discovered and drilled by the Mzuri Group in the period 2008 to 2011• Comprises two Prospecting Licences (PLs) and two contiguous PL applications covering a total

area of 1,557 km2 that provide excellent potential to expand the current coal resource by continued exploration

• Budget spend during Stage 1 was less than planned as delays in conversion of licence applications to active licences for Lake Victoria and reassessment of exploration strategy has required deferral of most of stage 1 expenditure for this project to Stage 2.

• NOTE: The above budget figures covers a period over 24 -36 months and will be partly funded from future planned capital raisings.
