During the period since the last RNS, and ending July 25, 2013, work on the Haneti Exploration Programme progressed extremely well. The current mapping and soil sampling work is focused on metamorphosed ultramafic rocks which are targets for nickel, gold and platinum group metal element (\u201cPGE\u201d) mineralisation. Prior sampling identified anomalous nickel and gold grades and the current sampling programme is intended to provide more detailed surface geochemical data ahead of the prioritisation of locations for initial drilling. The progress thus far can be summarised as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u0001The planned soil sampling programme is 86% complete, with just a total of 332 samples left to be collected\n<ul>\n<li>Soil sampling programme at Mwaka Hill : Completed( 844 samples)<\/li>\n<li>Soil sampling programme at Mihanza : Completed (359 samples)<\/li>\n<li>The soil sampling programme at Kwahemu \u2013 Sanato \u2013 Yobo is making good progress with a total of 992 samples collected for the period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u0001Two new ultramafic outcrops were identified, between Mwaka and Kwahemu confirming strike continuation of the ultramafic rocks between these two targets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The despatch of samples in batches to the laboratory continues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u0001Mapping\n<ul>\n<li>Detailed mapping on Mwaka on 200 meter line interspaces was completed.<\/li>\n<li>Detailed mapping of the following areas is in progress :\n<ul>\n<li>Mihanza.<\/li>\n<li>Kwahemu \u2013 Sanato \u2013 Yobo.<\/li>\n<li>Newly identified ultramafic outcrops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u0001The regional reconnaissance and mapping programme is well under way with mapping in progress on all known and identified ultramafic occurrences on the tenement portfolio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u0001 On-going regional assessment of the current tenement portfolio with the aim to ensure that optimal ground is retained, and the most obvious unusable ground to be surrendered to the Ministry of Energy and Mining.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Planned work for the coming weeks:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\u0001 The soil sampling programme at Kwahema \u2013 Sanato \u2013 Yoba to be completed.<\/li>\n<li>Detailed mapping of the Mindii \u2013 Kwahemu trend.<\/li>\n<li>Continuation of regional mapping of exploration andstrategic targets.<\/li>\n<li>Further consignments of samples to be despatched tothe analysis laboratory in Mwanza.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare for sampling of the newly identified ultramafic bodies by the reconnaissance and planning of soil lines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The CEO, Kibo Mining PLC remarked: \u2026<em>\u201dWe are particularly pleased with the rapid progress that the field team has made over the last two weeks, and we are close to the successful conclusion of this exploration stage at Haneti.
