Final Results for the year ended 30 September 2011 and notice of AGM            
Kibo Mining plc ("Kibo" or the "Company") (AIM: KIBO; AltX:KBO) the mineral     
exploration and development Company focused on gold and nickel projects in      
Tanzania, is pleased to announce its final results for the year ended 30        
September 2011.                                                                 
Chairman`s Report                                                               
2011 was a difficult year globally, with turbulent financial markets and        
confusion in sovereign states particularly within Europe. Against this          
backdrop I am pleased to report on the excellent progress Kibo has made         
during the year in broadening its gold and base metal exploration portfolio     
in Tanzania through acquisition, successfully financing the Company,            
designing and implementing a major exploration programme, diversing its         
access to market finance, reorganising its management team and rationalising    
its development programme to focus on critical economic value without           
excessive operational risk. The earlier part of the year was dedicated to the   
upgrading of the Company`s ground holding and accessing finance. Currently      
the Company is embarked on an extensive exploration programme with three        
field exploration teams operating on all of the Company`s projects in           
Tanzania.                                                                       
During 2011 Kibo added an additional 11,622 square kilometres of highly         
prospective gold and base metal exploration ground to its portfolio through     
the acquisition of Morogoro Gold Ltd. This has moved the Company into a         
strong position in Tanzania with large ground holdings in established and       
developing gold and base metal areas. It gives the Company the ability to       
finance its operations through joint ventures as well as through the markets.   
Field work has commenced and we look forward to receiving results from our      
exploration programs as we move through 2012. Some areas held by the Company    
are under review for joint venture to third parties. Other areas may be         
relinquished in order to focus on the fieldwork on the main targets. It is      
planned that both processes will be completed by mid 2012.                      
On 30 May 2011 the Company shares were listed on the JSE AltX in South Africa   
in order to enhance its ability to fund its on-going exploration programme in   
the medium term. The listing and subsequent share placing raised                
approximately GBP1.1 million. This money is being used to fund the first        
stage of the Company`s three year exploration strategy on its Tanzanian         
exploration portfolio. Extensive nickel anomalies from soil sampling and        
trenching have already been identified on just one small part of a 70           
kilometre long zone within the Haneti project which also shows promise as a     
gold target, where there is active artisanal mining. Reconnaissance geology     
mapping suggests the possibility of larger scale gold occurrences in a number   
of the artisanal mining areas.                                                  
In light of the above developments the Board has decided to restructure its     
executive management team. Louis Coetzee was appointed the interim CEO in       
November 2011 to maximise the corporate development of the Company in           
Tanzania and to oversee the financial development of the Company. Noel          
O`Keeffe has taken on the role of Exploration Director. This will facilitate    
a more focused approach to the overview and supervision of the large            
portfolio of Company projects. An important decision the Company had to make    
was the imminent requirement to exercise its option to acquire 100% of the      
Itetemia and Luhala projects in the Lake Victoria district. While the           
Itetemia project held out the prospect of early cash flow through the           
development of a small open pit mine, the Company decided that the              
operational risks and capital exposure for Kibo involved with these projects    
were unacceptable. The Morogoro acquisition has provided the Company with a     
dominant exploration presence in the major gold exploration districts in        
Tanzania. This provides us with the potential for exponentially better          
returns on our investments than could have been derived from the Itetemia and   
Luhala projects, should they have been acquired under the contracted            
commercial terms. For these reasons we informed Tanzanian Royalty Exploration   
Corporation that we would not be exercising the option.                         
In conclusion, despite 2011 being a difficult year for our industry, the        
company is set fair for exploration success with both its gold and nickel       
projects. I would like to thank management especially our former CEO Noel       
O`Keeffe who has had the task of steering the Company through the regulatory    
compliance resulting from the merger and acquisition activity during the        
year. He now has the challenge of sifting through the very large licence        
portfolio to optimise the value of the Company. Louis Coetzee, who has          
recently taken over the mantle of CEO will, with his twenty years of working    
in Tanzania, prove to be a valuable asset for the Company. I would also like    
to welcome Tinus Maree and Wenzel Kerremans to the Board who were both          
appointed during 2011. They also bring a wealth of African experience to help   
drive the business and I look forward to working with them and the other        
directors and staff in growing the Company over the next twelve months.         
Christian Schaffalitzky                                                         
Chairman                                                                        
Dated 30 March 2012                                                             
Review of Activities                                                            
Introduction                                                                    
During 2011 the Company focused on completing the major corporate transaction   
with Mzuri Gold Limited (Mzuri) announced in December 2010. This has re-        
positioned  the Company from a relatively small mineral licence holder to one   
with over 18,000 square kilometres of tenements issued, offered and under       
application in both the traditional and newly emerging gold exploration         
regions of Tanzania. Field exploration during the first three quarters of       
2011 was deferred to allow completion of the Mzuri transaction which included   
a dual listing and placing on the AltX board of the JSE in South Africa in      
early June which raised approximately GBP1.1M. The Company completed some       
field work at the Haneti project during the last quarter of 2010 which gave     
further encouraging nickel results from trenching and soil sampling. These      
results, which the Company reported in April 2011, are discussed later in the   
review. At the start of October 2011, following operational management          
changes, the Company re-commenced field exploration programmes and these will   
run concurrently over all its projects through 2012 and beyond.                 
During 2011, Kibo continued the technical and economic evaluation of the        
Itetemia and Luhala projects. In October the Company reported on                
metallurgical test results for the Golden Horseshoe (GHR) Resource at           
Itetemia which indicated gold recoveries in excess of 90% from standard         
carbon-in-leach cyanide processing. The Company also announced at that time     
that it was continuing negotiation with Tanzanian Royalty Exploration           
Corporation Limited (TREC) to allow it to fast track the exercise of the        
option under which it holds its interest in the Itetemia and Luhala projects    
in order to avail itself of development financing for GHR.  Kibo proved         
unable to satisfactorily renegotiate the option agreement with TREC and         
announced in December 2011 that it was not proceeding with the option under     
the current terms and has relinquished its interest in both projects.           
Following the decision to discontinue with the TREC option on Itetemia and      
Luhala, the Company`s focus will now be on exploration at its Lake Victoria,    
Haneti and Morogoro projects. The Company has re-organised its operations in    
Tanzania to enable it to effectively manage and explore this large project      
portfolio for which it approved a three year exploration budget of GBP5M in     
October 2011. Stage 1 with a budget GBP1.3M is now complete with results        
pending, while Stage 2 will follow up on targets emerging from stage 1 with     
more advanced exploration including drilling in the second half of 2012. This   
review summarises Kibo`s exploration projects on which work is underway.        
Lake Victoria Project                                                           
The Lake Victoria projects comprises a 2,716 square kilometre portfolio of      
prospecting licences under issue, offer and application in Tanzania`s premier   
gold mining region, the Lake Victoria Goldfield (LVG). The portfolio contains   
129 mineral tenements located south and west of Tanzania`s second city of       
Mwanza and are dispersed in contiguous blocks of one to fifteen tenements       
over an area of approximately 12,000 square kilometres. The tenements border,   
straddle and occur within the major greenstone belts which are the host to      
operating mines, gold deposits and historical gold workings in the region.      
They give the Company a large strategic footprint in this prolific gold         
producing area of the country which has annual production of over 2 million     
ounces mostly from the world class multi-million ounce deposits at Bulyanhulu   
and Geita.                                                                      
The Lake Victoria project is divided into six geographical sub-blocks which     
cover the principal gold producing greenstone belts within the LVG. Gold        
mineralisation within the LVG is controlled by a combination of favourable      
host rocks such as banded iron formations, quartz reefs and porphyries and      
favourable structural settings. The Lake Victoria tenements are well located    
in this regard and many of the areas occur on or close to regional structural   
lineaments and contacts that are considered to be important controls on gold    
mineralisation.                                                                 
The Company is undertaking a desktop and field evaluation of the tenements      
with the objective of prioritising the most prospective for follow up. The      
exploration database that accompanies the project contains the results of       
previous reconnaissance soil and pitting surveys over many of the areas and     
shows anomalous gold-in-soil on a number of tenements. An initial review of     
the database has helped select initial tenements for more detailed              
exploration and field teams are currently operating in these areas.             
Morogoro Project                                                                
Similar to the Lake Victoria project, the Morogoro project comprises a large    
mineral tenement portfolio totalling 8,900 square kilometres comprising         
prospecting licences under issue, offer and application. The tenements are      
located in eastern Tanzania between the regional centres of Morogoro and        
Dodoma in a region which is receiving increasing attention from mineral         
exploration companies in recent years due to widespread artisanal and small     
scale gold mining, and the Magambazi (Handeni) gold deposit discovery by        
Canadian company, Canaco Resources in 2009.                                     
The Morogoro project covers Proterozoic age high grade metamorphic rocks        
which present a new geological environment for gold exploration in Tanzania.    
In contrast to the Archaean age lower grade metamorphic rocks (greenstones)     
of the Lake Victoria region further north, this geology was not considered      
prospective for gold until widespread discoveries by artisanal miners in        
recent years focused larger company attention on the region. Kibo has now       
established a significant presence in this region over previously unexplored    
areas prospective for gold and base metals. The project is divided into two     
large blocks known as Morogoro North (also referred to as the Dodoma Block)     
and Morogoro South.                                                             
Morogoro North                                                                  
Morogoro North comprises mineral tenements east of Dodoma covering              
approximately 4,000 square kilometres adjacent to Government designated         
artisanal gold mining blocks. Gold mining within these blocks is from quartz    
reefs within high grade gneisses and granulites of high metamorphic grade.      
These reefs extend on to Company licences and applications where some           
artisanal mining is on-going. The detailed geology and gold mineralisation in   
these areas has not yet been thoroughly evaluated but the data that is          
available is consistent with geology and mineralisation styles similar to       
those present at Canaco Resources, Magambazi gold deposit some 50 kilometres    
to the northeast. Stage 1 field exploration at Morogoro North comprises         
detailed stream sampling and mapping on prospecting licences around the         
villages of Gairo, Kilama and Berega on  gold-in-soil anomalies identified      
from previous reconnaissance sampling.                                          
Morogoro South                                                                  
Morogoro South comprises tenement areas south and west of the regional town     
of Morogoro covering approximately 4,900 square kilometres. The Company`s       
initial exploration focus will be on a regional geological structure, the       
Ruvu Nappe, located circa 30 kilometres southeast of Morogoro. Previous         
reconnaissance geological mapping and stream sediment sampling have revealed    
gold mineralisation associated with this structure along 45 kilometres of its   
length and both artisanal hard rock and placer gold mining is on-going. Stage   
1 field exploration in this area comprises regional stream sediment sampling,   
prospecting and geological mapping to resolve areas for follow-up geophysical   
surveying, trenching and drilling. A large anorthosite body approximately 25    
kilometres west of the Ruvu Nappe, is possibly indicative of nickel-PGM         
mineralisation potential in this region and will also be prospected and         
sampled during the field programme. Company licence applications and offers     
in the western part of the Morogoro Block cover part of a copper mineralised    
province with numerous copper occurrences and some artisanal copper             
production. Data on the detailed geology and copper mineralisation styles       
will be compiled as they also represent an excellent mineral exploration        
opportunity for the Company in this region.                                     
Haneti Project                                                                  
The Haneti project is located 15 kilometres north of Tanzania`s official        
capital city, Dodoma in central Tanzania. It comprises a contiguous block of    
prospecting licences under issue, offer and application totalling just over     
7,000 square kilometres. The project is located along a section of the          
sheared contact (Bubu cataclasites) between the Archaean age (> 2.5 billion     
years) Tanzanian Craton to the Southwest and Proterozoic age (
0.5 to 2.5       
billion years) rocks to the Northeast. The project is prospective for both      
nickel - platinoid mineralisation within  a 70 to 80 kilometre ultramafic       
belt (Haneti-Itiso Ultramafic Complex) located just east of the sheared         
contact zone and for gold mineralisation primarily within the Tanzanian         
Craton to the West and Southwest.                                               
Nickel Exploration                                                              
The nickel platinoid potential of the Haneti-Itiso Ultramafic Complex has       
been enhanced by the field work undertaken by Kibo over the last few years.     
The results from soil, rock and trench sampling has shown widespread            
anomalous nickel values accompanied by local gold and platinum anomalism        
within the best exposed section of the ultramafic belt just east of Haneti      
Village (Haneti Hills). The results in this area to date which encompasses      
about 100 square kilometres have given good encouragement for the discovery     
of both lateritic nickel and nickel sulphide-platinoid style mineralisation.    
Laterite  derived nickel values in soil, pitting and trenching  from Haneti     
Hills occur in the range 3,000 to > 10,000 part per million while nickel        
sulphide potential is indicated by rock sample results from Mihanza Hill        
where values of up to 13% nickel and 2.3 grams per tonne platinum & palladium   
were previously reported  from strongly altered bedrock.                        
During late 2010 and early 2011 the Company carried out exploration surveys     
at Haneti Hills which comprised reconnaissance geological mapping, trenching    
of soil geochemical anomalies and in-fill soil sampling. Trenching and soil     
sampling focused on the Mwaka, Mihanza and Kwahemu Hills where previous work    
has returned high nickel and gold values in soil and rock.                      
At Mwaka Hill, a 269 metre trench was excavated to a depth of 0.5  to 1.8       
metres across a mult-element soil geochemical anomaly and exposed bedrock was   
mapped and sampled. Analyses  were carried out for Au, Cu,  Zn, Ni, Co and      
As. Nickel values were consistently anomalous in excess of 1,000 parts per      
million  (0.1%) from samples of silicified and un-silicified serpentinites      
taken along the length of the trench. The best intersection was 93 metres at    
0.4% nickel. Trench samples were also anomalous for cobalt but not              
significantly so for the other elements.                                        
At Mihanza Hill, an 80 metre trench was excavated to a depth of 1 metre or      
less across a gold and nickel soil anomaly close to a pit where previous        
sampling gave values of 13% nickel and 2.33 g/t platinum and palladium in       
outcrop. Similar to Mwaka, nickel values were in excess of 1,000 parts per      
million(0.1%) in serpentinite throughout the length of the trench and           
averaged 0.27% nickel over the 80 metres. The trench results were anomalous     
for cobalt but not for the other elements.                                      
At Kwahemu Hill, an in-fill soil sampling programme was carried out over an     
area of 
 2.5  X 1.5 kilometres to the west of Kwahemu Hill where previous      
regional soil sampling had indicated high gold and nickel values in soil. The   
in-fill sampling was carried out at a spacing of 100 X 40 metres and analyses   
were carried out for the same elemental suite as for the Mwaka and Mihanza      
Hills trench sampling.  The results indicate a strong linear nickel anomaly     
with values in excess of 0.1% nickel extending westwards from Kwahemu Hill      
for 2 kilometres and the anomaly remains open to the west. More difuse gold     
anomalous areas of values > 30 parts per billion  and up to > 100 parts per     
billion are scattered through the sampled area co-incident in part with the     
nickel anomaly.                                                                 
Gold Exploration                                                                
The gold mineralisation potential at Haneti is primarily within recently        
identified greenstone rock sequences within the Tanzanian Craton in the West    
and South-west of the project. One such sequence, the Londoni Greenstone Belt   
located just outside the north-west corner of the Haneti block hosts Shanta     
Gold`s Singida project which has a published resource of 1 M oz. at a grade     
of 1.5 grams per tonne gold. Significant artisanal gold mining activity in      
the northwest corner of the Haneti block and rocks with greenstone affinities   
identified around the village of Meia Meia by Kibo geologists in late 2010      
provide strong evidence for the continuation of this gold bearing Londoni       
gold belt along the south western border of the Haneti block. The Company is    
monitoring the artisanal gold mining in the west of the Haneti block where it   
has been issued two licence offers but understands that the Tanzanian           
Ministry of Mines and Energy is delaying issue of the permits due to the        
large number artisanal miners working in the area. Kibo acknowledges the        
sensitivities in these overlap areas between artisanal miners and exploration   
companies and will continue to explore ways of completing the licence issues    
and so gain exploration access to these areas with the Government and the       
other relevant parties.                                                         
Conclusion                                                                      
Stage 1 field exploration over the Company projects has now been completed      
and the results available to date are being compiled and analysed. An           
operations update will be released during the second quarter of 2012 once all   
results have been received. The Company anticipates that these results will     
enable it to define targets for drilling and areas for more detailed follow     
up surveys as part of its Stage 2 exploration programme to commence shortly.    
The Kibo projects present a very large mineral prospective early stage          
exploration portfolio for which sustained systematic exploration is now         
underway. The Company is confident of favourable exploration results emerging   
from this work during 2012 and beyond.

Notes to Editors:                                                               
Kibo is a public company registered in Ireland (company number 451931). Its     
registered office is Kibo Mining plc, Suite 3, One Earlsfort Centre, Lower      
Hatch Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Kibo was established in early 2008 to          
explore and develop mineral deposits in Tanzania, East Africa and was           
admitted to AIM on 27 April 2010 and AltX in South Africa on 30 May 2011        
The Board of Kibo is composed of highly experienced professionals spanning      
mineral exploration, mine development, mining finance and financial control     
of public companies. It is supported by well trained and highly motivated       
Tanzanian staff that operates from Kibo`s exploration offices in Dar es         
Salaam and Mwanza.                                                              
The mineral assets of the Company comprise three projects in Tanzania -         
Haneti (nickel, platinoid elements and gold), Morogoro (Gold) and Lake          
Victoria (Gold) which give Kibo access to over 18,000 km2 of early stage        
exploration licences in Tanzania`s premier gold mining region, the Lake         
Victoria Goldfield and within the newly emerging gold exploration regions in    
eastern Tanzania                                                                
Strategy                                                                        
Kibo`s objective is to enhance Shareholder value through acquisition,           
exploration and development of mineral assets in Tanzania. This objective       
will be pursued primarily through active exploration, particularly drilling     
on its current projects and by using the Company`s experience in Tanzania to    
acquire further quality mineral projects on competitive terms that can be       
quickly evaluated and taken to the next stage of development. Kibo will         
undertake continual risk assessment of its projects and take whatever actions   
it believes are necessary to ensure that these risks are mitigated.
