Kibo Mining - Notes to editors
Kibo Mining is listed on the AIM market in London and the AltX

development of mineral projects in Tanzania, and controls one of
Tanzania's largest mineral right portfolios. Tanzania provides a
secure and stable operating environment for the mineral resource
industry and Kibo Mining therein.
Kibo Mining holds a thermal coal deposit at Mbeya, which has a
significant NI 43-101 compliant defined resource, and is developing
a 250-350 MW mouth-of-mine thermal power station, the Mbeya Coal to
Power Project ("MCPP"), previously called Rukwa Coal to Power

Mining Definitive Feasibility Study and a Power Pre- Feasibility

August 2016, Kibo signed an Agreement with China based EPC
contractor SEPCO III granting it the right to become the sole
bidder for the EPC contract to build the power plant component of
the MCPP in exchange for SEPCO III refunding 50% of the development

million on the 5th September 2016

attracting significant recent investment in coal and uranium. The
Company has a positive working relationship with the Tanzanian
government at local, regional and national levels and works hard to
