Kinbauri Files Revised Scoping Study; Increased Copper to Be Recovered Boosts Economics

13/03/2009 2:03pm

Marketwired Canada


Kinbauri Gold Corp. ("Kinbauri") (TSX VENTURE:KNB)(FRANKFURT:3KG.DE) announced
today that it has filed a revised Preliminary Economic Assessment or Scoping
Study (the "Scoping Study") for it's 100% owned El Valle/Carl?s project (the
"Project") on Sedar. The Study was prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle
Associates ("SWRPA"). An increase in revenue, cash flow and Net Present Value
('NPV') above those previously reported by Kinbauri is mainly a result of
previously unrecognized copper to be recovered.


Under the Base Case Scenario, the results reveal a pre-tax NPV (10% discount
rate) of CAD $146M and an Internal Rate of Return ('IRR') of 44%. Using current
metal prices and exchange rates, the Project now has a pre-tax NPV (10% discount
rate) of CAD $232M and an IRR of 59%. The financial highlights are summarized
below:

Detailed Cash Flow and Assumptions

The table below presents a complete list of assumptions and results comparing
the base case to current prices for a scenario which involves direct access from
the mill ("The Ramp Model") to the underground resources at El Valle. SWRPA had
assessed both the Ramp Model and a model that involved hoisting ore to the mill
vicinity through a shaft. The Ramp Model was clearly more economic and
management believes that modification of the mine plan using a ramp can help
reduce capital costs ("CAPEX') from those stated herein. Some of the cost
assumptions, in particular the mining costs estimated by SWRPA are based on
contractor quotes and are therefore considered to be of a higher level of cost
accuracy than a preliminary economic assessment and in some cases to be plus or
minus 15%, which is significantly more concise than standard scoping study
estimates. All figures are in Euros to reflect costs of production in Spain.

Cautionary Statement as Required by NI 43-101, Sect 2.3 (3): This assessment is
preliminary in nature; it includes inferred mineral resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves,
and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.


Total mineral resources for the Project were estimated as of March 12th, 2009 by
SWRPA to be :


- Measured: 2.36Mt at 3.6g Au/t and 0.85% Cu

- Indicated: 4.00Mt at 5.4g Au/t and 0.80% Cu

- Inferred: 7.26Mt at 5.4g Au/t and 0.45% Cu.

This press release has been prepared by Dr. V. N. Rampton, P. Eng in his
capacity as a qualified person under the guidelines of NI 43-101; it has also
been reviewed and approved for release by SWRPA.
