3rd Quarter Results 2006
Toronto, Ontario - November 14, 2006: Caledonia Mining Corporation ('Caledonia')
(TSX: CAL, NASDAQ-OTCBB: CALVF and AIM:CMCL) is pleased to announce its key
financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Operational Highlights
Barbrook Gold Mine - South Africa
• Gold production totaled 1,548 ounces during the quarter (Q3 2005:1,497 ounces).
• Plant throughput rose steadily during July (13,292 tonnes) and August
(12,500 tonnes) until production was disrupted in September by a legal
strike between contract labourers and the labour broker resulting in total of
29,092 tonnes (Q3 2005: 20,451 tonnes) for the quarter.
• Industrial action at the mine during October impacts on gold production,
with only 88 ounces produced, culminating in illegal activities which
severely damaged the offices and security buildings. The mine has now been
placed on 'care and maintenance' until further notice, whilst a compensation
claim is being pursued against the mine's labour broker.
Blanket Gold Mine - Zimbabwe
• Gold production for the third quarter totaled 6,475 ounces.
Corporate/Financial
• Consideration given for the Blanket Mine purchase was a payment of
US$1 million and the issue of 20,000,000 Caledonia shares to Kinross.
• Completed a private placement in July 2006 and raised $2.160 million
after expenses through the issue of 17,000,000 common shares and 17,000,000
share purchase warrants.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2006 Caledonia recorded a net loss of $3.074
million ($0.007 per share) compared to a net loss of $2.564 million ($0.008 per
share) during the same period in 2005. The loss in 2006 results from ongoing
exploration costs, operations at Barbrook, and the normal administration
expenses during the quarter. Included in the loss for the quarter is an
unrealized foreign exchange loss of $1.659 million (profit of $125,000 in
quarter ended June 30, 2006 and a profit of $104,000 for the quarter ended March
30, 2006) of which Blanket Mine contributed a loss a $1.595 million due to the
devaluation of the Zimbabwe dollar in August 2006.
At an operating profit level, Caledonia recorded a profit of $1.524 million for
the period ended September 30, 2006 (loss of $1.309 million for the same period
in 2005) and a year to date operating loss of $1.982 million in 2006 (loss of $
4.004 million for the same period in 2005).
Reviewing the quarter, Stefan Hayden, President and CEO, said 'The group's gold
production for the quarter began well, with the Barbrook plant nearing the
planned throughput target of 15,000 tonnes a month and on target to match the
second quarter's production. However an industrial dispute between the contract
labourers and the labour broker impacted on Barbrook's production in September
and unfortunately continued into October. Furthermore the dispute resulted in
illegal activities in late October which led to the mine being placed on 'care
and maintenance' in November. We are, of course, pursuing a claim for
compensation against the labour broker.
The Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe has had a good quarter, with gold production up by
400 ounces and net sales of $4.538 million. The mine is on track to meet the
fourth quarter target. The expansion project, at shaft 4, is progressing and due
for completion in Q3 2007. This will almost double gold production to 40,000
ounces.
At the Nama cobalt deposit in Zambia, work is progressing well towards producing
a NI 43-101 statement on anomalies 'A', 'C' & 'D' which is expected to be
available during December 2006.'

CALEDONIA MINING CORPORATION
REPORT FOR QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (Q3)
Barbrook Gold Mine - South Africa
• Following the completion of the plant expansion in late January from
a capacity of 6,000 tonnes per month to a projection of 15,000 tonnes per
month, plant throughput has increased steadily reaching 12,397 tonnes in
June, 13,292 tonnes in July, 12,500 tonnes in August but only 3,300 tonnes
in September. Production was disrupted during September when contract
labourers embarked on a legal strike over a wage dispute with the labour
broker who supplies labour to the mine. As a result 29,092 tonnes (32,133
tonnes in quarter ended June 30th, 2006) were treated in the plant during
the quarter.
• Gold production totaled 1,548 ounces (1,749 ounces in quarter ended June
30th 2006) during the quarter and only 88 ounces in October due to the
industrial action at the mine.
• In October workers embarked on illegal activities that resulted in severe
damage to the offices and security buildings at Barbrook. No damage was
caused to the metallurgical plant or underground workings, the Barbrook
operations have now been placed on 'care and maintenance'.
Blanket Gold Mine - Zimbabwe
• Acquired a 100% interest in the Blanket Gold Mine in Zimbabwe from Kinross
Gold Corporation of Toronto with effect from 1 April 2006.
• Gold production during the three months ending June 30, 2006 totaled
6,045 ounces, 6,475 ounces were produced in the 3 months ended September 30,
2006 and 2,109 ounces in October, 2006.
Corporate/Financial
• Consideration given for the Blanket Mine purchase was a payment of
US$1 million and the issue of 20,000,000 Caledonia shares.
• Completed a private placement in July 2006 and raised $2,160,000 after
expenses through the issue of 17,000,000 common shares and 17,000,000
share purchase warrants.
2006 OBJECTIVES
• Subsequent to the industrial action at Barbrook Mine and the extent of the
damaged caused to certain buildings a decision around the future of Barbrook
Mine must be taken. On the assumption that Barbrook continues in operation:
- Improve safety awareness at Barbrook Mine and further develop necessary
programs to ensure a safe operation.
- Optimise gold production at Barbrook Mine in South Africa by treating
at least 15,000 tonnes per month.
- Continue developing additional reserves/resources at Barbrook Mine.
- Complete metallurgical studies to confirm viability of economic gold
recovery from Daylight & Victory zones at Barbrook Mine.
• Continue with negotiations to conclude agreements with cobalt refiners to
purchase cobalt concentrate produced at Nama and/or form strategic
alliances to achieve this objective.
• Seek a joint-venture partner to commence an exploration program at the
Kadola copper/cobalt and the Eureka copper/gold properties in Zambia.
• Further explore the polymetallic resource on the Rooipoort and Grasvally
properties which form the Rooipoort PGE/Ni/Cu Exploration Project in
South Africa.
• Increase the land holdings around the Rooipoort Exploration property.
• Drill identified extensions to the known ore zones on the Eersteling and
Zandrivier Mining Licence areas.
• Pursue possible acquisitions and/or strategic partnerships to expand
Caledonia's portfolio of properties.
• Expand the Board of Directors to address ongoing Corporate Governance
requirements.
• Implement succession plans for senior executive and operational staff.
• Strengthen the Investor Relations and Public Relations functions within
Caledonia.
• Conclude necessary agreements to satisfy the South African Black Economic
Empowerment ('BEE') requirements.
• Arrange necessary financing to support the activities required to meet
these objectives.
• Expedite the Number 4 shaft expansion project at the newly acquired Blanket
Gold Mine to increase gold production to 50,000 ounces per annum.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The acquisition of the Blanket Gold Mine in Zimbabwe is a significant step
towards Caledonia's goal of developing the asset base into a significant
diversified international mining company. Gold has been mined in the Blanket
area for close to 100 years. As of 2005 Blanket's reported historic life-time
gold production exceeded one million ounces. With the reported proven and
probable ore reserves exceeding 3 million tonnes Blanket should continue to
produce gold for many years to come. I am delighted to welcome the Blanket
management team and staff to Caledonia where I am sure they will make a
significant positive impact on Caledonia's future revenue.
The Number 4 shaft expansion project at Blanket is currently well underway and
should be completed by third quarter 2007 (originally second quarter 2007) due
to delays beyond Blanket's control. The new shaft should allow Blanket to
progressively increase gold production to 40,000 ounces per year. The latest
monetary policy in Zimbabwe allows mines to retain 67.5% of their foreign
exchange proceeds (increased from 40%) - which will have a positive impact on
Blanket together with the cost cutting program which is rapidly being
implemented. The metallurgical tests proposed by Caledonia have been completed
and the circuit changes are being finalized. These should result in increased
gold recoveries, lower reagent consumption and costs.
The accompanying Highlights and 3rd quarter MD&A contain information with
respect to the Barbrook Mine. Further samples from the 'A' anomally on the Nama
property in Zambia were taken and shipped to China for confirmatory testwork.
Samples where also sent for furnance testing in South Africa. Negotiations
regarding long term cobalt sales agreements with a number of large cobalt
refiners are advancing. Technical and economic studies related to the production
of saleable cobalt carbonates and hydroxides at Nama are presently underway in
South Africa and China.

1. OPERATIONAL REVIEW, OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(a) Barbrook Mine South Africa
Barbrook Mine is temporarily on 'care and maintenance'.
In early August metallurgical testing by Mintek of South Africa identified
operating parameters which successfully reduced the previously unexplained gold
losses in the oxidation circuit in the laboratory. Efforts were commenced to
modify the plant to duplicate these parameters in the full scale operation, but
before these changes could be fully tested during continuous operations the
contractor's labour commenced a legal strike on August 28th . Some replacement
workers were supplied by the contractor but due to intimidation there was a high
turnover, which when coupled with necessary safety training, adversely affected
productivity.
The strike was terminated on October 13th and employees were requested to return
to work on October 16th. However, following a re-organisation and reduction of
the workforce there were significant disruptions on site and several surface
buildings and facilities were destroyed. All facilities at Barbrook are
uninsured and a claim has been lodged against the labour contractor in terms of
the contract with them.
The reduction in Gold Sales Revenue for the quarter compared with that in the
second quarter is due to the lack of production in September resulting from the
labour strike.
Underground work continued in the Taylors, French Bob and Twalas zones to
develop additional resources in these zones, but was stopped in late August when
limited manpower was redeployed in production areas.

'Qualified Person' with respect to the Barbrook Mine property for the purposes
of National Instrument 43-101 and has approved this property description. The
above Reserve and Resource data is compiled using Caledonia's internal standards
and National Instrument 43-101 compliant Reserve and Resource data will be made
available as soon as practicable.
(b) Blanket Mine Zimbabwe
In July 2006 Caledonia completed the purchase of the Blanket Gold Mine in
Zimbabwe - the purchase being effective as of April 1, 2006. The Blanket mine is
an underground gold mine which currently mines and processes approximately 550
tonnes per day. Recent average gold production has been approximately 2,100
ounces per month.
A variety of mining methods are employed to suit the changing ore zones at
Blanket. Methods used include underhand stoping, shrinkage stoping and long-hole
stoping.
The ROM (run-of-mine underground ore) metallurgical process consists of three
stage crushing with a feed size of 350mm producing a final product of 80%
passing 8mm. This product is fed into an open circuit Rod mill at a rate of 24
metric tph. From the Rod mill the discharge combines with the regrind mill
product and is pumped to the Knelson Concentrators. Three different sized mills
operating in closed circuit with a hydro cyclone and two 30' CD Knelson
Concentrators comprise the regrind circuit. Knelson concentrates are further
treated on the Gemini table to produce a much cleaner concentrate, which is
calcined before smelting on-site.
Dewatering of the hydro cyclone overflow to 50% solids is undertaken before
feeding it into the CIL head tank. Six contact tanks make up the CIL.
Tailings from the CIL stream are pumped to the tailings dam with the effluent
recycled to the plant. These tailings are partially treated to reduce the free
cyanide levels before pumping to the tailings deposition area.
Production results for the Blanket Mine from April 1, 2006 - the effective date
of the acquisition - are given in the table below.

As announced in June, a US$2.5 million project to complete the new #4 shaft and
increase the milling throughput to 1000 tpd and gold production to 40,000 ounces
per year is underway and is proposed to be completed during Q3 2007. The slyping
of the shaft from the 630 meter level to the 750 meter level, the blind sinking
to the 810 meter level, the establishment of the bin loading arrangements on 780
meter level, and the equipping of the shaft with steel ladders and platforms
from the 630 meter level to the 810 meter level have all been completed. The
mining of the ore and waste bins from 765 meter level to 750 meter level and the
crusher chamber are in progress.

A Report on the Blanket Mine, dated August 4th, 2006 as required by National
Instrument 43-101 was prepared by Applied Geology Services cc of South Africa.
Mr. David Grant, Pr.Sci.Nat. is the Independent Qualified Person responsible for
the report. The Technical Report has been filed on SEDAR and is available at
www.sedar.com or on the Corporation's website at www.caledoniamining.com. The
Reserve and Resource information above has been taken from that NI 43-101
compliant report.
(c) Nama Cobalt Project, Zambia
During the quarter work continued on the preparation of a NI 43-101 statement on
anomalies 'A', 'C' & 'D' which is expected to be available during December 2006.
A detailed geological interpretation has revealed a hitherto unknown geological
structure and has facilitated the interpretation of the mineralisation model and
likely areas of extension. A follow-up drilling program is planned for the first
half of 2007 dependant on the access to the sites as permitted by the rainy
season.
Follow-up geochemical work is being carried out across the Nama 'A' anomaly in
order to test continuity of potentially mineralized zones in the lower soil
profile.
The results of the further two stage Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation
(WHIMS) test work show cobalt recoveries of over 70% and the amenability of the
cobalt mineralization to further concentration by flotation has been confirmed,
despite previous test work findings.
Further samples were collected from the same bulk sample site and screened to
+5mm and -5mm fraction sizes on site. The samples were then shipped for
metallurgical testing in South Africa and in China. The weight of the combined
sample was 2 tonnes. Results of this testwork are expected before year end.
Current and immediate future funding is provided from available working capital.
Caledonia has been granted an extension to its exploration licences at Nama in
the form of a 'Retention Licence'.
(d) Financing
In July 2006 the company completed a private placement to raise additional
funds. This placement of
17 million units, each consisting of one common share and one share purchase
warrant, was completed in July 2006 and raised $2.16 million after expenses.
2. SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS The following information is provided for each

-------- -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
Note: As there are no extraordinary items the disclosed net losses per share are
identical to the total loss before extraordinary items.
For the period ended September 30, 2006 Caledonia had a net loss of $3.074
million ($0.007 per share) compared to a net loss of $2.564 million ($0.008 per
share) during the same period in 2005 and a net loss of $2.25 million ($0.008
per share) in the same period 2004.
At an operating profit level Caledonia had a profit of $1.524 million for the
period ended September 30, 2006 ( loss of $1.309 million in 2005 and loss of
$1.852 million in 2004) and a year to date operating loss of $1.982 million in
2006 ( loss $4.004 million in 2005 and loss $4.393 million in 2004)
The results for the quarter ended September 30 , 2006 are affected by the
inclusion of Blanket Mine results, and the lower results for Barbrook Mine due
to the industrial action that took place during the quarter. Net sales for
Barbrook Mine for the quarter ended September 30 , 2006 were $1.098 million
($1.303 million quarter ended June 30th and $417 for quarter ended Mar 31st).
Net sales for Blanket Mine for the quarter ended September 30 , 2006 were $4.538
million.
Included in the loss for the quarter is an unrealized exchange loss of $1.659
million (profit of $125 in quarter ended June 30 , 2006 and profit of $104 in
quarter ended March 31 , 2006) of which Blanket Mine's contribution to this loss
amounted to $1.595 million due to the devaluation of the Zimbabwe dollar in
August 2006.
Also included in the loss for the quarter is an amortization charge of $1.846
million ($965 quarter ended June 30, 2006 and $181 for quarter ended March 31,
2006 ). The amortization charge has increased as the Barbrook Mine plant
expansion started to be amortised during quarter ended June 30, 2006 and the
amortization rate at Barbrook has increased from 13% pa to 16,5% pa based on
life of mine calculations.
The loss in 2006 results from mining operations at Barbrook and Blanket, the
normal administration expenses and ongoing exploration costs during the quarter.
3. LIQUIDITY
Blanket Mine is financially self sufficient relating to working capital
resources and the costs of the #4 shaft expansion project. The future of
Barbrook Mine will determine the future cash needs of Caledonia. Settlement of
current working capital liabilities will continue to be funded via the receipt
of funds from shareholders as and when necessary.
4. CAPITAL RESOURCES
The only commitments towards capital expenditure are related to the completion
of #4 shaft expansion project at Blanket Mine. This project will continue to be
internally funded by Blanket Mine.There are no other capital projects associated
with any Caledonia operations that require funding.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There are no critical accounting estimates made by Caledonia that would
materially affect the financial condition or results of the company if the basis
of the estimate was changed.
6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
