Drilling Update - Further suite of assay results confirm significant copper 
mineralisation over extensive strike and dip at Kalumbila 
 
 
 
 
The Board of Kiwara, the Zambian based exploration Company, is very pleased to 
announce further excellent results from its ongoing drilling programme on the 
Kalumbila base metals target. 
 
 
 
 
Highlights: 
  *  Four Bore holes, L40, L42, L53 and L54 have intersections in excess of 0.80% Cu 
  over widths of over 20m :- 
  *  Bore hole L40 includes 0.91% Cu over 23.20m from 52.27m; Bore hole L42 includes 
  1.00% Cu over 31.71m from 122m; Bore hole L53 includes 0.88% Cu over 20.82m from 
  47.30m and Bore hole L54 includes 0.89% Cu over 34.73m from 146.27m; 
  *  Bore hole L53, the most south-westerly reported, is 8.2Km along strike from 
  historic nickel and copper zone, has a close to surface intersection, assayed 
  0.68% Cu over 43.98m from 25m and includes 0.88% Cu over 20.82m from 47.30m; and 
  1.31% Cu over 6.30m from 52.32m; 
  *  Bore holes L39, L42 and L48 also report high grade cobalt mineralisation. 
 
 
 
Colin Bird (Chairman) said: "The Company is delighted with these results, which 
together with those previously reported, continue to extend strike and 
geological continuity of the Kalumbila copper project. The presence of high 
cobalt grades in three of these bore holes provides valuable credits. The near 
surface mineralisation in five of the reported borehole results proves the 
potential for a large open pit. The Company intends to aggressively pursue its 
exploration programme at Kalumbila with the objective of developing a resource 
and proceeding to feasibility study." 
 
 
 
 
Selected Results of L39-L44, L48, L50, L53-L54 
Applying a 0.30% Cu cut-off grade, the selected length weighted mineralised 
intersections for each of the ten bore holes are summarised in the table below, 
which also includes the relative position, dip and orientation of each bore hole 
collar:

* weighted average 
 
 
The ten bore holes announced extend strike by 1.8Km; L53 establishes that 
Kalumbila remains open on strike to the south-west, which correlates with soil 
geo-chemistry. Strike length of mineralization identified by the Company's 
drilling has extended westwards giving a total current strike of 8.2Km. 
 
 
These drill core assay results correlate well with the Company's previously 
reported results. 
 
 
All identified mineralisation occurs within a graphitic phyllite unit associated 
with the Lower Roan, which Kiwara correlates as being equivalent to the 
"Copper-belt ore shale". 
 
 
Additional borehole sample assay results are awaited. 
 
 
Alfred H Knight Ltd of Kitwe, Zambia and SGS Inspection Services Ltd of 
Kalulushi, Zambia - both internationally accredited laboratories - carried out 
the assays of the core samples from these drill holes.

Kiwara, Chartered Engineer and a fellow of The Institute of Materials, Minerals 
and Mining. 
 
 
About Kiwara: 
Kiwara is an exploration company with a focus on base metals in the Republic of 
Zambia, which is a major copper producing country. 
Kiwara, through its majority owned subsidiary, Kalumbila Minerals, holds 
Prospecting Licence 267 which is within the Kabompo Dome in North Western 
Zambia, a geologically complex antiformal feature, which contains a number of 
base metal and uranium targets. This is within the area considered to be the 
western extension of the Copperbelt, an increasingly significant mining area 
that contains the recently developed Kansanshi and Lumwana copper mines.
