SEPCO III Completes Successful Site and Country Visit to Tanzania
Kibo Mining plc ("Kibo" or the "Company") (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the Tanzania focussed mineral exploration and development company is pleased to announce that, following the announcement of the Joint Development Agreement ("JDA") with SEPCO III (RNS dated April 20, 2015), Kibo hosted SEPCO III for a successful country and project site visit to Tanzania, from 23 April 2015 until 27 April 2015.
Highlights
-- First and strategically most important condition precedent in SEPCO III JDA fulfilled -- Project site visit completed successfully, with all visit objectives met
The SEPCO III site visit included a visit to the RCPP mine and power plant site and surrounding areas and fulfilled a key condition precedent to the JDA. The visit also included plenary meetings with the Minister for Energy and Minerals as well as senior officials of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and related departments. The key objectives of the site visit were:
1) To familiarise the SEPCOIII team with local in-country conditions and those related to operational and business conditions in Tanzania;
2) To physically visit the RCPP project site and to conduct an extensive on-site technical work shop;
3) To plan and finalize the scope of work required to successfully execute and complete Stage 2 of the RCPP Definitive Feasibility Study, i.e. delivery of an integrated Bankable Feasibility Study for the RCPP; and
4) To officially introduce SEPCO III to all the relevant Tanzanian Government departments and authorities as the Company's RCPP development partner.
The SEPCO III delegation comprised a team of commercial, financial and engineering specialists who engaged in various work and planning sessions with the Company's RCPP technical team that included senior representatives from Minxcon Projects (Pty) Ltd, and Aurecon South Africa (Pty) Ltd, the two professional consulting companies responsible for conducting all the feasibility work done on the RCPP to date.
Louis Coetzee, CEO of the Company, commented today: "The fact that we are able to provide the market with an update on the fulfilment of the most important condition precedent in the JDA so soon after it was signed, is strong confirmation that in SEPCO III Kibo has engaged a highly professional, competent and committed joint venture partner that is as serious as Kibo in pursuing the successful and timely delivery of the RCPP.
The site visit comprised five very productive days that totally exceeded our expectations in terms of progress made on all relationship levels associated with the JDA. This bodes well for the further development of the RCPP and we look forward to updating the market on further progress."

*Kibo holds 90% of the Lubando Mineral Resource
* Numbers are rounded. Composites capped at 10.85g/t gold. Cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t gold based on a gold price of US$850/oz and assumed 100% metallurgical recovery.CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.
Pursuant to the terms of an inherited agreement with Barrick East Africa Exploration LTD (BEAL), Kibo currently has an effective 90% interest in the Imweru and Lubando Project (and thus a 90% attributable interest in the Imweru and Lubando Mineral Resources shown in Table 2 and 3 above), with Barrick having a 10% carried interest up to a decision to mine at which point they have to contribute or be diluted to a 2% net smelter royalty. BEAL also has a first right of refusal pursuant to which they can buy the 90% interest in the project at an agreed market related value after completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. Kibo remains the operator of the project.
