Condensed Consolidated Annual Financial Results of for the year ended 31 December 2017

Dated: 14 June 2018

Kibo Mining plc ("Kibo" or the "Company") (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the mineral exploration and development company focused on gold, nickel and coal and projects in Africa, is pleased to release its condensed consolidated annual financial results for the year ended 31 December 2017. The Company's Annual Report, which contains the full financial statements accompanying this announcement, is in the process of being prepared for dispatch to shareholders. A copy of this Annual Report will also be available from the Company's website at www.kibomining.com. Details of the date and venue for this year's AGM will be announced on posting of the Annual Financial Results.

Highlights from the Chairman, Christian Schaffalitzky's statement:

2017 was a challenging year for Kibo as we pushed ahead with our efforts to complete a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for our flagship Mbeya Coal to Power Project (MCPP) amid significant upheavals and changes in the Tanzanian mining policy and regulatory environment. As might be expected, these events have impacted on our anticipated time line to finalise a PPA with the Tanzanian Government and complete Financial Close on the project. I am delighted to reflect that despite these delays, at the end of 2017, the Tanzanian Government reconfirmed in writing its strong support for the MCPP as an important component of its national energy strategy and undertook to expedite finalisation of the PPA. As you are no doubt aware, this commitment was backed up when we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TANESCO (the Tanzanian state electricity company) in February 2018 as a preparatory step to finalising a PPA. Management is now in advanced negotiation with TANESCO on the finalisation of the full PPA.

Kibo Mining's main achievements in 2017 were:

-- The publication of the MCPP Integrated Bankable Feasibility Study (IBFS) at the start of 2017. This was the culmination of 3 years' work by Kibo and the most important milestone in the development path for the project to date;

   --    Full environmental certification for both Mbeya Coal Mine as well as Mbeya Power Plant; 

-- The completion of the divestment of our resource-based gold assets, Imweru and Lubando, in northern Tanzania to AIM listed Katoro Gold PLC in which we retain a 56.7% interest; and

-- The terms of the forward payment facility agreed in December 2016 with Sanderson Capital Partners were mutually revised in September 2017 allowing for an extension to the drawdown schedule and part re-payment of funds already drawn by the issue of a convertible loan note to Sanderson which it immediately converted to Kibo shares.

5. Audit opinion

The consolidated annual financial statements were audited by the Company's auditors, Saffery Champness LLP. The auditors' report together with the financial statements is available for inspection at the Company's registered office. The auditors' report contains an emphasis of matter with regard to the realisation of certain assets, as follows:

Emphasis of Matter - Realisation of Assets

In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we considered the adequacy of disclosures made in Notes 11, 13 and 23 to the financial statements concerning the valuation of intangible assets, and investments in Group undertakings. The realisation of intangible assets of GBP17,596,105 (2016: GBP17,596,105), amounts due from Group undertakings of GBP24,402,788 (2016: GBP26,998,867) and investments in Group undertakings of GBP3,468,224 (2016: GBP1,700,000) included in the Company Statement of Financial Position are dependent on the economic exploitation of gold and coal reserves including the ability of the Group to raise sufficient finance to develop these projects.

6. Subsequent events

Mbeya Coal to Power Project

The Group made considerable progress in the Mbeya Coal to Power Project by signing a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Tanzania Electric Supply Company ("TANESCO"), on 14 February 2018. This MOU is the precursor to the finalisation of the Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA") for the 300MW mine - mouth power station to be constructed in south-western Tanzania. Although the PPA has not been signed at the date of issue of the Annual Financial Statements, the Tanzanian Government's recent pledge to support the private sector is favourable to the Group and evidences the National government's commitment to all projects.

Strategies to complete the funding arrangements for this flagship project are ongoing.

Botswana Power Project Acquisition

On 3 April 2018, the Group completed the acquisition of an 85% interest in the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project, located in Botswana. This acquisition is in line with the Group's strategy of positioning itself as a strategic regional electricity supplier in Southern Africa and creates many synergies with the MCPP in Tanzania.

As a result of the acquisition, 153,710,030 ordinary shares in Kibo were issued to Sechaba Natural Resources Limited ("Sechaba"). Sechaba retains a 15% interest in the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project and gained the right to a seat on Kibo's board of directors. Initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the time the financial statements are authorised for issue, as management is finalising outstanding areas with regard to the acquisition. As part of the terms of the acquisition, Mr Mashale Phumaphi joined the company as a non-executive director, however, he has subsequently resigned.

Share placements

Subsequent to year end, the company has raised the following placements:

   --    GBP750,000 in the placement of 17,647,060 ordinary Kibo shares at 4.25p per share; 
   --    GBP1,500,000 in the placement of 28,571,428 ordinary Kibo shares at 5.25p per share; 

-- 8,370,716 ordinary shares in the company were issued, at a price of 5p per share, to Sanderson Capital Partners Limited ("Sanderson") as a partial settlement on the balance of funds drawn down under the forward payment facility between the Company and Sanderson. The shares issued are in respect of a repayment amount of $568,712.

7. Litigation

There are currently no arbitration proceedings against the Group, or of which the Group is aware, which may have, or have had in the 12 months preceding the date of this report, a material effect on the consolidated annual financial results.

8. Dividends

There have been no dividends declared or paid during the current financial period.

9. Going Concern

The consolidated annual financial results have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business. The directors constantly review the business models of the Group and its operating subsidiaries to ensure sustainability and the ability to operate profitably and generate positive cash flows. Funding facilities are also reviewed regularly to ensure that the Group has sufficient facilities in place to finance its operations.

10. Basic, Dilutive and Headline Loss per share

The basic and dilutive loss and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic loss per share is as follows:

Basic and dilutive loss per share

The basic loss and weighted average number of ordinary shares used for calculation purposes comprise the following:

 
 Basic and dilutive loss per share       31 December   31 December 
                                          2017 (GBP)    2016 (GBP) 
 Loss for the period attributable 
  to equity holders of the parent        (3,712,707)   (3,611,496) 
 
 Weighted average number of ordinary 
  shares for the purposes of basic 
  loss per share                         372,255,127   351,080,645 
 
 Basic loss per ordinary share               (0.010)       (0.010) 
 

As the exercise price of the share options and warrants in issue is higher than the current market value as at reporting date, these option and warrants do not have a dilutive impact. Thus, there are no dilutive share options or warrants in issue as at year end which decreased the basic loss per share as indicated above.

Notes to editors

Kibo is a multi-asset resource development and energy company with a long-term goal of becoming a leading power producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Company aims to tackle the acute power deficit which is severely hindering economic development in the region.

Kibo's flagship asset is the Mbeya Coal to Power Project ('MCPP') in Tanzania, which comprises the Mbeya Coal Mine, a 1.5Mt p/a mining operation, and the Mbeya Power Plant, a 300MW mine-mouth thermal power station. The Mbeya Coal Mine has a defined 120.8 Mt NI 43 101 thermal coal resource. A Definitive Feasibility Study has been conducted on the project which underpinned its value and confirmed an initial rate of return of 69.2%. The 300MW mouth-of-mine thermal power station has long term scalability with the potential to become a 1000MW plant. The completed full Power Feasibility Study highlighted a power output target of 1,800 GWh/a based on annual average coal consumption of 1.5Mt. An Integrated Bankable Feasibility Study report for the entire project indicated total potential revenues of US$ 7.5-8.5 billion over an initial 25-year mine life, post tax equity IRR between 21-22%, debt pay-back period of 11-12 years and a construction period of 36 months.

To assist in the execution of this critical power project of the MCPP, Kibo has assembled an international team of advisors and partners including Engineering Procurement and Construction ('EPC') contractors and financial teams that are assisting in the advancement and development of the MCPP. These include ABSA/Barclays as Financial Advisor, China based EPC contractor SEPCO III, General Electric, Tractebel Engineering (Power), Minxcon Consulting (Mining) and legal advisors Norton Rose Fulbright.

Kibo also has an 85% interest in the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project ('MCIPP'), a nearly identical power project in Botswana. The project consists of 300Mt subset of the current in-situ 777Mt Coal Resource and has water and land use permits and environmental certification in place. A Pre-Feasibility Study on the coal mine has been completed, as has a Scoping Study, which highlight the power plant having a maximum capacity of 600MW (4x150MW) based on a coal delivery rate of 3.2Mtpa and a Life of Mine of over 30 years.
