Kilo Recommences Drilling Operations on its Somituri Project, DRC

Kilo Goldmines Ltd. ("Kilo" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KGL)(FRANKFURT:02K)
is pleased to announce that it has recommenced drilling operations on its Imbo
licence on Saturday March 23rd.


The Company has set out a diamond drilling program for 2013 which will initially
focus on the Kitenge and Manzako Prospects, as well as testing of the magnetic
geophysical anomaly discovered by the 2012 airborne geophysical survey. The
magnetic anomaly commences one kilometre due west of the centre of the 1.87 Moz
Adumbi gold deposit, and trends northwest, parallel to the Adumbi structure, for
two kilometres where it intersects the western limit of the Imbo Licence. 


The Company is also resuming exploration activities on the other Somituri
Project Exploitation Licences with the ultimate objective of delineating drill
targets. 


Alex van Hoeken, President and CEO of Kilo stated: "We are pleased that our
contractor was able to achieve rapid mobilization and recommence operations only
three days after the Company closed its 10 M C$ financing, and has been able to
achieve production rates over 50 m per shift per drill. We look forward to
receiving results during the course of the year, as the high grades we have
obtained from the 2012 campaign have been highly encouraging for our current
strategy of finding additional resources." 


In addition, the Company is pleased to announce the following results from the
2012 drilling campaign at the Manzako Prospect. Figure 1, a geological map of
the Imbo Licence, illustrates these Prospects with respect to the Adumbi gold
deposit.


MANZAKO 

Highlights Include



--  7.60 m @ 3.91 g/t Au in hole #23 
--  Undercuts 11.20 m @ 4.96 g/t Au in hole #4 
--  Gold zone returned 31.70 m @ 4.96 g/t Au in trench #3 



This result is from drill hole SMDD0023 totalling 97.40 metres ("m") which
undercuts previously announced drill hole SMDD0004 that intersected 11.20 m @
4.96 g/t Au (see press release dated January 09, 2012). Drill hole SMDD0004
undercut a 31.70 metre long trench, SMTR003, that returned 31.70 m @ 4.39 g/t
Au, (see Press Release dated June 30, 2011). 


These drill holes and trench targeted a parallel shear structure about 300 m
northeast of the 2.2 km long Manzako main shear zone ("MSZ") structure as
defined by colonial-era mining, previous trenches, soil sampling results and
geological mapping. The Manzako Prospect is 5.0 km east and south from, and
parallel to, the Company's 1.87 M oz Adumbi gold deposit. 


Gold intersections are listed in Table 1 and the drill hole is illustrated on
Figure 2.

Drill hole SMDD0023 targeted a gold bearing structure about 300 m to the
northeast of the main Manzako Shear Zone ("MSZ"). Chloritized, sericitized and
silicified mafic volcanic rocks, including pillowed basalts were intersected.
Gold occurs within an assemblage consisting of quartz + carbonate + pyrite +/-
pyrrhotite +/- arsenopyrite +/- chalcopyrite. The relationship between the gold
intersection in SMDD0005 and the intersections on the section line with drill
holes SMDD0004 and 23 as well as trench SKTR003 has not been verified.


The Manzako Prospect structure was mined by open pit and underground methods to
shallow depths during the Colonial era and select sites are currently targeted
by artisanal mining.


About the Somituri Project

The Somituri Project consists of eight Exploitation Licences totalling 606
square kilometres in the Archaen Ngayu Greenstone belt, in the north eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo.


According to historical records, unverified by the Company, the Kitenge and
Manzako mines produced about 100,000 ounces of gold to 1955, and Adumbi gold
mine produced about 200,000 ounces of gold from quartz vein ore that averaged 11
g/t gold during the 1940s until its closure in 1959. 


The Mineral Corporation (April 2012), based in Johannesburg calculated an NI
43-101 compliant inferred gold resource estimate of 1.87 million ounces grading
1.63 g/t Au using a 0.50 g/t Au cut-off on the Adumbi Prospect.


Quality Control and Analytical Procedures

The drill core was sawn in half with a diamond saw and one half core for each
sample was placed into plastic bags and stapled shut. Commercial standards and
blanks were inserted in every batch of samples submitted for analysis in
accordance with industry practice. Sample preparation was carried out at the
Kilo on-site laboratory managed by ALS Chemex. Sample pulps were shipped from
the DRC to ALS Chemex in Johannesburg, South Africa by commercial courier. Gold
analysis was determined on a 50 g charge by the Fire Assay with Atomic
Absorption finish method. ALS Chemiex is accredited to international standards.
