Kiwara intersects further high grade nickel mineralisation at Kawako 
 
 
The board of Kiwara, the Zambian based exploration Company, is very pleased to 
announce further results of its follow-up drill programme at Kawako, which 
continue to intersect high grade nickel. 
 
 
 
 
Highlights: 
 
 
  *  Two further boreholes, KW4 and KW5 drilled on the Kawako nickel target; 
  *  Borehole ("B/H") KW4 intersected 12.22m grading 3.03%Ni from 87.50m; this 
  intersection includes 7.30m grading 4.56%Ni from 91.95m; 
  *  KW4 is 300m south from KW2; 
  *  KW4 has a further intersection of 9.62m grading 0.94%Ni from 128.38m; 
  *  KW5 intersected 3m grading 0.51% Ni from 173m. 
 
 
 
 
 
Colin Bird (Chairman) says: "We are very pleased with the high grade results 
from KW4. We continue to drill the target with the mission of extending strike 
and increasing tonnage." 
 
 
Background: 
On 18th August 2009 the Company announced the first results of its follow-up 
drilling programme at Kawako where in 2008, two boreholes, 900m apart, 
intersected high grade nickel mineralisation hosted in schists on the 
anticipated margin of a historically identified carbonaceous shale unit and on a 
Ni soil anomaly. 
 
 
Kawako Drilling Results: 
B/Hs KW4 and KW5 are core boreholes drilled vertically. KW4 was drilled 300m 
south from the initial reconnaissance b/h KW2 and 1,052m from KW3, as an 
'in-fill' b/h; there is very good correlation between KW4 and the results 
obtained in KW2, thus suggesting continuity of mineralisation. KW5 was drilled 
650m SW of KW2 and west of the perceived strike of the host unit to determine 
dip and lithological continuity. 
 
 
The selected length weighted mineralised intersections for which a cut-off grade 
of 0.25%Ni was applied, are summarised in the table below:
