1. OPERATIONAL REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1.1 Gold Production
Blanket Mine - Zimbabwe
After the receipt of the Gold Dealership Licence and the production recommencement announcement on April 3, 2009,
the required cyanide, explosive, and other essential consumables were purchased and sent to Blanket and
production recommenced on April 7, 2009. Mining and milling production has been increased to over 400 tonnes per
day by the end of June 2009.
It is planned to continue the ramp-up of production to 600 tonnes per day which should be reached by the end of
the third quarter 2009. The labour force is being rebuilt from the start-up level of 480 in April 2009 to 750-800
with particular emphasis on skilled and semi-skilled employees. Ongoing retraining is also essential to meet the
production demands along with refurbishment and maintenance of equipment. This will allow the mine to return to
its 24,000 ounce per annum production level.
Underground
Frequent unplanned power supply interruptions and load shedding continue to frustrate production targets on a
daily basis. The efficiency of the underground operations is improving from the sub-optimal levels when
production was restarted.
Safety, Health and Environment ("SHE")
The following safety statistics were recorded for the 2nd quarter:
- Three restricted work activity (2008 - 3) and no (2008 4) first aid incident were recorded. In all there
were 9 (2008 - 26) incidents and 4 (21 - 2008) near misses during the quarter. Extensive safety training was
undertaken by management and this included:
o Induction training for 65 new employees, 5 employees returning from leave, 15 casual worker, 3
change of occupation employees and 9 contractors
o Hazard identification and risk assessment courses attended by 160 employees.
o 73 employees trained on mine first aid.
o 27 supervisors underwent plant job observation refresher courses.
- Nine new cases of HIV/AIDS were identified by the mine clinic. The severe economic conditions have
negatively affected AIDS funding from Government and NGO sources, but education continues with 18 peer
educators being trained and a further 80 people being tested at the clinic.
There were no adverse environmental issues during the quarter and the results obtained from water testing
continue to verify this.
Even though the economic situation in Zimbabwe continues to be challenging the number of employee dismissals due
to desertion has decreased dramatically. The number of employees who were absent without permission in the 2nd
quarter was 134 (820 - 2008) compared to 608 (879 - 2008) in the 1st quarter.
Capital Projects
Number 4 Shaft Expansion Project
Further developments on the No 4 shaft project await the sourcing of project funding of US$2,4 million on
acceptable terms failing which internally generated cash flows will be used. It is still anticipated that
production of 1,000 tonnes per day will be achieved within a 9 months of project funding being secured which will
result in approximately 40,000 ounces of gold per annum being produced.
Operations
During the quarter operations were significantly hampered by daily electrical power failures or requested load
shedding from ZESA, the local power authority. However, recent negotiations with ZESA appear to have resulted in
a more predictable load shedding window which has enabled the mine to alter shifts so that load shedding takes
place before the re-entry of a shift and allows for lower production losses. Provided ZESA continues to adhere to
the agreed load shedding schedule it will be an equitable solution to this problem.
Sufficient working capital has been provided by a local bank to meet the mine's requirements.
The net proceeds for Gold sales are being received by Blanket in full from Rand Refineries in South Africa within
the contractual time period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook
It should be borne in mind that the last time Blanket was able to achieve an equivalent 24,000 ounce per annum
production level was before February 2007 prior to the No. 4 Shaft being closed for equipping. Subsequent to
partial completion of the No. 4 shaft project, resumption of production was rendered impossible by the failure of
the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to pay Blanket for its gold sold and which eventually caused Blanket to suspend
production completely in October 2008. A healthy and stable economic future continues to depend on the success of
the Unity Government in Zimbabwe. Management's challenge is to bring the mine back to the full 24,000 ounce per
annum production as quickly as possible and then to commence work on the completion of the No.4 shaft project as
soon as funding is sourced.
In a press release on 6 May 2009, the Corporation indicated that Blanket is targeting to achieve an annualized
production rate of approximately 24,000 ounces of gold per annum by the end of the third quarter 2009.
Subsequent to the dollarization of the economy Blanket has reinstated public liability and motor vehicle
insurance cover and continues to assess the necessity and affordability of other forms of insurance cover.
In recent weeks, the frequency and duration of electricity outages and their impact on production has reduced.
Management will continue to monitor this situation closely, while pursuing a number of alternatives including
discussion with ZESA and standby generation capacity.
1.2 Exploration and Project Development
1.2.1 COBALT AND BASE METALS
Nama Cobalt Project - Zambia
The 2nd quarter of the financial year, April to June, is the first half of the dry season in Zambia. The main
field access roads were restored and graded in April following the damage caused during the rainy season. The
activities carried out during the quarter mainly involved the detailed soil sampling and follow-up of previously
detected geochemical anomalies. This work entailed the compilation of a GIS database including all previous work
done in the area, in particular the location of geochemical surveys and anomalous areas.
Two main styles of Co mineralization occur in the Nama area, the 'D'-type iron oxide bodies which are mostly
enriched in cobalt, and the Ore Shale hosted Cu-Co mineralization, more common elsewhere in the Copperbelt, which
is being exploited by neighbouring mines. On account of the more complex metallurgy and hence greater capital
requirements involved in treating the D-type iron oxide bodies, previous targets identified as being of this type
are set aside for follow-up work at a time when the market conditions are more suitable.
Work, therefore, is being carried out on the anomalous areas with a view to defining resources characterized as
belonging to the Ore Shale hosted Cu-Co style of mineralization. Mineralization of this type is currently being
exploited immediately east of the Nama License and is known to extend westwards into the license area for some
2,000 meters. During the 2008 field season, exploration established the existence and limited extent of the Ore
Shale along the western margin of the Konkola Dome (close to the 'A' Resource Body). The "shale" unit is
approximately 100 meters wide, is anomalously enriched in Co and Cu but the knowledge of the known strike length
is limited because the area is covered by very deep soils. Follow-up sampling employing both saturation termite
mound sampling and deep auger sampling has shown encouraging results. Two drill targets have been outlined in
this area.
Other areas covered in the 2nd quarter include the 'B' Anomaly where detailed auger sampling has resulted in the
delineation of separate Co and Cu anomalies. Pitting at selected sites is currently being carried out to
establish the cause of the anomalous enrichment. Field work at the 'F' and 'G' anomalies has revealed that the
metal enrichments are not typical 'D' style mineralization but thick zones of Co and Cu enrichment in sandstones.
Although the area involved is substantial, the average metal contents for the whole area may not satisfy the
criteria for economic extraction and therefore follow-up auger sampling will be undertaken to define the areas of
greatest potential. Diamond drilling may then be undertaken in the higher grade areas to recover material for
mineralogical and metallurgical testing.
A portion of the 1996 geochemical grid laid out west of the 'A' Resource Body was not sampled, probably as a
result of adverse ground conditions at the time. Recent limited sampling in this area suggested the existence of
widespread anomalous metal enrichments. In order to complete the sampling exercise, the auger sampling program
was extended to this area. It is anticipated that this sampling will, in addition to giving an insight into this
important area, also assist in deciphering the geological structure of a 10 km zone between the 'A' anomaly and
the 'Yembela' anomaly to the northwest, two areas which host similar mineralization patterns.
The 2009 Exploration Season
The current field season is proceeding according to the exploration plan with the systematic and detailed
exploration of the geochemically anomalous areas at Nama. In determining the nature of the anomalies, they are
ranked according to style of mineralisation and structure which will enable the exploration team to select the
most appropriate targets for the 2009 exploration programs, and selected targets may be drilled during the latter
period of the 2009 exploration season depending on the availability of Corporate funds.
1.2.2 Rooipoort PGE/Ni/Cu Project (including Grasvally) - South Africa
Property
Rooipoort
Caledonia announced on July 1, 2009 that Mitsubishi Corporation had withdrawn from the proposed participation in
the Rooipoort and Mapochsgronde Platinum Projects ("the Projects").
Mitsubishi indicated that the conditions precedent relating to security of tenure of the prospecting rights held
by Caledonia and its subsidiaries due to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment ("empowerment") requirements
imposed by the South Africa Department of Minerals ("DM") did not meet their requirements. The DM's requirement
that empowerment be introduced at the exploration stage is not currently required under South Africa law and,
accordingly, was not envisaged at this stage in the Agreement. Mitsubishi Corporation concluded that it did not
wish to extend the Agreement relating to the proposed participation by Mitsubishi in the platinum exploration
projects in South Africa. Accordingly, the Agreement terminated on June 30, 2009 and Mitsubishi will not provide
the envisaged exploration funding for the Projects. The Rooipoort and Mapochsgronde properties continue to remain
100% owned by Caledonia.
Caledonia will explore and evaluate other strategic options in respect of the Projects.
1.2.3 GOLD
Zimbabwe Exploration - Gold
Due to the lack of foreign currency and the immediate focus on re-starting and ramping up production, limited
exploration work has taken place during the quarter and resources were allocated primarily to the resumption of
gold production. The proposed exploration activities are being reviewed and prioritised.
2. SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
The following information is provided for each of the 8 most recently completed quarters of the Corporation -
ending on the dates specified - in thousands of Canadian Dollars. The figures are extracted from underlying
financial statements that have been prepared according to Canadian GAAP.

Note: The effect of the dilution on the earnings per share has not been calculated as the result for 2009,
2008 and 2007 was a loss and the diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.
During the quarter the Corporation made $19,000 profit ($599,000 profit - 2008) from continuing operations before
unrealized foreign exchange loss of $181,000 ($860,000 loss - 2008).
The discontinued operations relate to Barbrook and Eersteling Mines up to Q1 2008, thereafter Eersteling is the
only discontinued operation. The loss on sale of Barbrook Mine was reclassified to discontinued operations in the
fourth quarter 2008. Gold sales for the 2nd quarter at Blanket Mine were 2,164 (3,089 - 2008) ounces. Blanket's
operational costs included salaries and wages of $689,000 ($403,000 - Q1 2009), consumables of $398,000 ($270,000
- Q1 2009) and mine administration costs of $152,000 ($206,000 Q1 - 2009). The dollarization of the economy has
impacted on remuneration rates as illustrated above, management is monitoring this closely to ensure we are
paying affordable and market related rates to ensure the scarce skills are attracted and retained.
Blanket is a self-sustaining operation and operates in Zimbabwe in what was a hyper inflationary economy. Due to
the dollarization of the economy in February, 2009 the hyper inflationary environment no longer exists.
Accordingly the results of these operations are now translated into Canadian Dollars using the current rate
method. On January 1, 2009 Blanket's functional currency also changed to US Dollars following the Monetary Policy
announcement introducing the use of foreign currency in Zimbabwe for all forms of trade and business. The assets
and liabilities of a self-sustaining foreign operation are translated at the rate in effect at the balance sheet
date for purposes of incorporation in the financial statements of Caledonia and, therefore, an exchange gain or
loss will arise when the exchange rate changes. This exchange gain or loss has no direct effect on the activities
of Caledonia. It is inappropriate to incorporate this exchange gain or loss in net income in the period in which
it arises; rather, it is reported in the financial statements as a separate component of shareholders' equity and
is disclosed as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income during the period. In summary the
current rate method is as follows:
(i) all assets and liabilities at rates at balance sheet date;
(ii) revenue and expense transactions at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
Included in the 2nd quarter statement of operations is an exchange gain of $101,000 (Loss $275,000 - Q1 2009)
relating to the translation of Blanket Mine financial results which has been disclosed under accumulated other
comprehensive income.
3. INVESTING
During the 2nd quarter 2009 the Corporation invested $251,000 in capital assets and mineral properties ($269,000
in 2008 and $696,000 in 2007). Of the amount invested in 2009, $193,000 ($235,000 - Q2 2008) was spent at Nama.
4. FINANCING
The Corporation financed its operations, except Blanket Mine, using funds on hand. No equity fund raising is
currently intended during 2009 and funds available from the sale of Barbrook are expected to be sufficient to
finance the Corporation's activities. Blanket was granted a working capital loan facility from its bankers in
Zimbabwe and utilised $694,000 of the facility during the quarter. Working capital loan facilities that have been
secured by Blanket are considered sufficient and repayment of the facilities by November 2009 is achievable.
Additional funding of US$2,400,000 is still required for the completion of the No. 4 shaft expansion and it is
the Corporation's intention to obtain this funding in Zimbabwe or, alternatively, to use it's internally
generated cash flows. Various financial institutions have been approached with detailed submissions to obtain
this funding but as yet no viable term sheets have been received. The outlook for obtaining the required project
funding is considered more positive now than it was at the beginning of the 2nd quarter and discussions continue
with several financial institutions.
5. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2009, the Corporation had a working capital surplus of $5,340,000 (surplus of $2,657,000 at March
31, 2009). Current assets of $7,255,000 ($3,960,000 - March 2009) increased as inventories have increased by
$345,000 and accounts receivable have increased by $3,437,000 whilst cash has decreased by $376,000. The accounts
receivable includes $520,000 due from Rand Refineries for gold sales that was received on July 1, 2009.The amount
of $2,890,301 (shown at fair value) owing to Blanket by RBZ is now classified as a current asset as the gold bond
is redeemable on February 1, 2010.
Blanket Mine continues to be self funding. Limited amounts are currently being spent on capital development but
will increase as working capital requirements stabilize and production ramps up in the months ahead
During 2009, it is expected that the cash requirements of the Corporation will be met from the cash on hand and
gold sales from Blanket Mine.
Anticipated cash inflows in 2009 will be used mainly by the Corporation on returning Blanket's annual gold
production back up to 24,000 ounces pa and then to 40,000 ounces pa provided Blanket can secure the required
funding required for the completion of the No.4 shaft expansion.
The Corporation has minor obligations in respect of license fees for its exploration and mining properties. Now
that Motapa has withdrawn from its JV on Mulonga Plain, the Corporation will be responsible for maintaining the
licenses. As of June 30, 2009 the Corporation had potential liabilities to do rehabilitation work on the Blanket
and Eersteling Mines - if and when those Mines are permanently closed - at an estimated cost of $1,186,000.
6. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
There are no off balance sheet arrangements.

8. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There are two major areas where accounting estimates are made, asset impairment and asset retirement obligation.
As significant impairment provisions have already been made against the assets and there is a reasonable level of
certainty around the estimate it is considered unlikely that any change in estimate would result in a material
impact on the results of the Corporation. The asset retirement obligations are also considered to be estimated
with a reasonable degree of certainty, although the original estimations were calculated some years ago. The
estimations are accreted annually at 5% and thus any change in circumstances is considered unlikely to have a
material impact on the results of the Corporation or its operations.
The following accounting policy changes have been adopted as of January 1, 2009 and are more fully described in
the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
a. Goodwill and intangible assets
In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") issued Section 3064 Goodwill and
intangible assets, replacing Section 3062, Goodwill and other intangible assets. The new Section will be
applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly,
the Corporation will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. It establishes
standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial
recognition and of intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged
from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have
an effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
b. International Financial Reporting Standards
The Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed in February 2008 plans to converge Canadian GAAP with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") over a transition period expected to be effective for
interim and annual periods commencing January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the
restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2010.
While the Corporation has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the
transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. All of the Companies foreign subsidiaries operate
in environments where IFRS has already been adopted.
The conversion from Canadian GAAP to IFRS is a significant undertaking. Caledonia has not yet determined the
impact of the transition on its consolidated financial statements. The conversion to IFRS may have a material
impact on the balance sheet, results from operations, systems of internal controls over financial reporting,
disclosure controls and information systems. IFRS accounting standards, and the interpretation thereof, are
constantly evolving and therefore IFRS accounting policies are subject to change through 2011.
Caledonia has decided to recruit an IFRS specialist to assist with the conversion process but no suitable
candidate has yet been identified. Current accounting personnel have attended various IFRS training courses
during the year.
Preliminary work on identifying differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS that effect the Corporation has
started in 2009 as well as work on identifying which options the Corporation would elect on adopting IFRS.
9. FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Corporation is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks by virtue of its
activities. The overall financial risk management program focuses on preservation of capital, and protecting
current and future Corporation assets and cash flows by reducing exposure to risks posed by the uncertainties and
volatilities of financial markets.
The Board of Directors has responsibility to ensure that an adequate financial risk management policy is
established and to approve the policy. The Corporation's Audit Committee oversees management's compliance with
the Corporation's financial risk management policy.
The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:
i) Currency Risk
As the Corporation operates in an international environment, some of the Corporation's financial instruments and
transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar. The results of the Corporation's
operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. The operating results and
financial position of the Corporation are reported in Canadian Dollars in the Corporation's consolidated
financial statements.
The fluctuation of the Canadian Dollar in relation to other currencies will consequently have an impact upon the
profitability of the Corporation and may also affect the value of the Corporation's assets and the amount of
shareholders' equity.
A significant portion of the Corporation's assets and liabilities are denominated in South African Rand and
United States Dollars. Management do not consider that the fluctuation of the value of these currencies to the
Canadian Dollar could have a significant impact on the results of operations. Blanket Mine operations are now
transacted using the United States Dollar as the functional currency. As a result of the introduction of the US
Dollar as legal tender in Zimbabwe the hyperinflationary environment has decreased dramatically. The shareholder
loan account in Zimbabwe is denominated in US Dollars and will generate foreign exchange gains or losses for
Blanket Mine depending on the exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Canadian Dollar at the time of
repayment of such loans. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless
otherwise noted. The Corporation does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its foreign currency risks.
Below is a summary of the cash or near cash items denominated in a currency other than the Canadian Dollar that
would be affected by changes in exchanges rates relative to the Canadian Dollar.
--------------------------------------------------
$000 US Dollars SA Rand
--------------------------------------------------

The table below illustrates by how much a 1% change in the rate of exchange between the Canadian Dollar and the
currencies above will affect net income.

$000 US Dollars SA Rand
--------------------------------------------------
Cash - 3
--------------------------------------------------
Accounts Receivable 27 2
--------------------------------------------------
Accounts Payable 8 1
--------------------------------------------------
ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in
interest rates.
Unless otherwise noted, it is the opinion of management that the Corporation is not exposed to significant
interest rate risk as it is debt free, outside of Zimbabwe, and only utilizes overdraft facilities for short
periods if necessary. As a result of Blanket Mine being brought back into production working capital borrowings
have increased in Zimbabwe. The working capital loans will be US Dollar denominated and will attract interest
rates of approximately 6% pa. It is the intention of Blanket to borrow further funds to complete the No 4 shaft
expansion project. No acceptable term sheet has been received for these loans and thus the interest rate is
unknown. The Corporation's cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that earn interest at
market rates. The Corporation manages its interest rate risk by endeavoring to maximize the interest income
earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. The
Corporation's policy focuses on preservation of capital and limits the investing of excess funds to liquid term
deposits in "A" grade financial institutions.
Fluctuations in market interest rates have not had a significant impact on the Corporation's results of
operations due to the short-term to maturity of the investments held.
iii) Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Corporation if a gold sales customer fails to meet its
contractual obligation. Credit risk arises principally from the Corporation's receivables from the Reserve Bank
of Zimbabwe ("RBZ") who was the sole buyer of gold produced in Zimbabwe, in terms of legislation and regulations
that prevailed until February 1, 2009.
At December 31, 2008 the RBZ owed Blanket $3,416,892 (gross value) $2,890,000 (at fair value). The amount owed to
Blanket was converted into a Special Tradable Gold-backed Foreign Exchange Bond ("Bond") by RBZ following the
Monetary Policy announcement on February 2, 2009 that has the following features;
- Term of 12 months
- Interest at 8% pa on maturity on February 1, 2010.
- Bond may be sold locally, regionally or internationally at an agreed price
- RBZ will honour the full principal plus interest on maturity
iv) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due.
The Corporation manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is sufficient capital to meet short and long term
business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Corporation's holdings of
cash and cash equivalents. The Corporation believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the likely
short and long term cash requirements. Senior management is also actively involved in the review and approval of
planned expenditures by regularly monitoring cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing
activities.
v) Commodity Price Risk
The value of the Corporation's mineral resource properties is related to the price of gold, platinum and cobalt,
and the outlook for these minerals. In addition, adverse changes in the price of certain raw materials can
significantly impair the Corporation's cash flows.
Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Corporation's
control, including, but not limited to, industrial and retail demand, central bank lending, forward sales by
producers and speculators, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand because of
speculative hedging activities, and macro-economic variables, and certain other factors related specifically to
gold.
In the Monetary Policy Announcement made by RBZ on February 2, 2009, Blanket became eligible to export its gold
to a refiner of its choice and to receive 100% of the proceeds, net of the refining costs, in US Dollars paid
into its foreign currency account at a Zimbabwean commercial bank. As a result of this announcement, Blanket
resumed gold production on April 7, 2009 after receiving all the necessary licenses from the Ministry of Finance
and the RBZ.
10. SECURITIES OUTSTANDING
As at June 30, 2009 the following securities were outstanding:
(1) 500,169,280 common shares;
(2) Options and warrants as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number Description Exercise Price Expiry Date
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34,430,000 Common share purchase options Average $0.1719 Various until May 11, 2016
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nil Common share purchase warrants -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Corporation's Option Plan allows the granting of options on a number of shares equal to 10% of the issued
shares, the Corporation could grant options on 50,016,928 shares. This figure includes any options previously
exercised and the current unexercised options.
11. CONTROLS
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is
gathered and reported to senior management, including the Corporation's President and Chief Financial Officer, on
a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management of the
Corporation, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2008 and
June 30, 2009 as required by Canadian securities laws pursuant to the certification requirements of Multilateral
Instrument 52-109.
The Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR") are intended to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with applicable Canadian GAAP.
Because of its inherent limitations, the Corporation's ICFR may not prevent or detect any or all misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an assessment of the
effectiveness of the Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting using a framework designed by
management and considered appropriate to the conditions of the various operating environments, and concluded that
the following disclosable material weaknesses still exist, as at June 30, 2009.
Segregation of duties
Due to limited personnel resources, adequate segregation of duties within the accounting group was not achieved.
This creates a risk that inaccurate entries could be made and not identified or corrected on a timely basis. The
result is that the Corporation is highly reliant on the performance of mitigating procedures during its financial
close processes in order to ensure the financial statements present fairly in all material respects. The
Corporation continues to enhance and monitor this process to ensure that its financial accounting reporting
system is able to prevent and detect potential significant errors.
Management has concluded, and the Audit Committee has agreed that taking into account the present stage of the
Corporation's development, the Corporation does not have sufficient size and scale to warrant the hiring of
additional staff to correct the segregation of duties weakness at this time. There were no changes in the
Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting since the year ended December 31, 2008 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial
reporting.
The Corporation has a Disclosure Committee consisting of four Directors, and has disclosure controls and
procedures which it follows in an attempt to ensure that it complies with all required disclosures on an adequate
and timely basis. The Corporation's Directors and Management, and the Disclosure Committee, are making all
reasonable efforts to ensure that the Corporation's disclosures are made in full compliance with the applicable
rules and requirements. All reasonable efforts are also being made to ensure that the Corporation's disclosure
controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Corporation,
including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Corporation's Certifying Officers by others within
those entities.
12. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Management Discussion and Analysis contains certain forward-looking statements relating but not limited to
the Corporation's expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs. Forward-looking information can often be
identified by forward-looking words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "goal", "plan", "intend",
"estimate", "could", "should", "may" and "will" or similar words suggesting future outcomes, or other
expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or
performance. Forward-looking information may include reserve and resource estimates, estimates of future
production, unit costs, costs of capital projects and timing of commencement of operations, and is based on
current expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to, failure to
establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates,
capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain
required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates,
fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and other factors. Forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expected results.
Potential shareholders and prospective investors should be aware that these statements are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by the forward-looking statements. Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-
looking information. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and
uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts,
projections and various future events will not occur. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update publicly
or otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or
other such factors which affect this information, except as required by law.

Management's Responsibility for Financial Reporting
To the Shareholders of Caledonia Mining Corporation:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Caledonia were prepared by management in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, consistently applied and within the
framework of the summary of significant accounting policies in these consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for all information in the quarterly report. All financial and operating data in
the quarterly report is consistent, where appropriate, with that contained in the consolidated financial
statements.
The Board of Directors discharges its responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements primarily
through the activities of its Audit Committee composed of three directors, all of whom are not members of
management. This Committee meets with management to assure that it is performing its responsibility to
maintain financial controls and systems and to approve the quarterly consolidated financial statements of
Caledonia.
The consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed by Caledonia's auditors.

Caledonia Mining Corporation
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(in thousands of Canadian Dollars)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature of Business
The Corporation is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties for the
exploitation of base and precious metals. The ability of the Corporation to recover the amounts shown for
its capital assets and mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable
reserves; the ability of the Corporation to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and
development; and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of such capital assets and
mineral properties.
The Corporation operates in a number of operating segments but its assets located in Zimbabwe, including its
interests in gold properties, may be subject to sovereign risks, including political and economic
instability, government regulations relating to mining, currency fluctuations and inflation, all or any of
which may impede the Corporation's activities in this country or may result in the impairment or loss of
part or all of the Corporation's interest in the properties.
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Caledonia Mining Corporation ("Caledonia" or
the "Corporation") have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") for interim financial statements. Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
Canadian GAAP have been condensed or excluded. As a result, these unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements do not contain all disclosures required to be included in the annual consolidated financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which
contemplates that the Corporation will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal
course of business. The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon attaining
profitable operations, realising proceeds from the disposal of mineral properties and obtaining sufficient
financing to meet its liabilities, its obligations with respect to operating expenditures and expenditures
required on its mineral properties.
Significant Accounting Policies:
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following accounting policies
consistent with the Corporation's audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 2008, except for the following changes in accounting policies:
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
a. Goodwill and intangible assets
In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") issued Section 3064 Goodwill and
intangible assets, replacing Section 3062, Goodwill and other intangible assets. The new Section will be
applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008.
Accordingly, the Corporation has adopted the new standards for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. It
establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent
to its initial recognition and of intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning
goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have an effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements issued and not yet effective
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will
significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan
outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In
February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for public accountable companies to use
IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The transition date is for interim and annual financial statements
relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will
require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Corporation for the year ended
December 31, 2010. While the Corporation has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial
reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Business Combinations
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Sections 1582 - Business Combinations, 1601 - Consolidated
Financial Statements and 1602 - Non-controlling Interests which replace CICA Handbook Sections 1581 -
Business Combinations and 1600 - Consolidated Financial Statements. Section 1582 establishes standards for
the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard
under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Section 1582 is applicable for the Corporation's
business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is
permitted. Section 1601 together with Section 1602 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated
financial statements. Section 1601 is applicable for the Corporation's interim and annual consolidated
financial statements for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is
permitted. If the Corporation chooses to early adopt any one of these Sections, the other two sections must
also be adopted at the same time.
Other Existing Accounting Policies
Inventories
These include gold in circuit (WIP) and bulk consumable stores. WIP is valued at the lower of the cost of
production, on an average basis, at the various stages of production or net realisable value if the cost of
production exceeds the current gold price. Bulk consumable stores are valued at the lower of cost or net
realisable value on an average basis.
Capital Assets
Producing Assets
Producing assets are recorded at cost less grants, accumulated amortization and write-downs. Producing plant
and equipment assets are amortized using the unit-of-production method on the ratio of tonnes of ore mined
or processed to the estimated proven and probable mineral reserves as defined by the Canadian Institute of
Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.
Other producing assets are amortized using the straight line method basis on the estimated useful lives of
the assets. The estimated life of the producing assets ranges up to 10 years. Repairs and maintenance
expenditures are charged to operations; major improvements and replacements which extend the useful life of
an asset are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of that asset. Eersteling Gold Mine
remains for sale and is thus presented as an asset for sale in these consolidated financial statements.
Non-Producing Assets
Non-producing assets are recorded at cost less write downs. At the time of commercial production, the assets
are reclassified as producing. During non-producing periods, no amortization is recorded on plant and
equipment but vehicles and computer equipment continue to be amortized.
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
In 2007 the decision was taken to sell Eersteling Gold Mining Corporation that had been on care and
maintenance since 1997.
The components held for sale are as follows:
Eersteling Gold Mine
June 30 December 31
2009 2008
-------------------------
$ $
Capital Assets and mineral properties 712 681
Current Assets 133 106
Current Liabilities 14 16
Asset Retirement obligation 338 314
As a consequence of this decision Eersteling Mine's results for 2009 and preceding years are disclosed under
discontinued operations. Revenue from discontinued operations is $Nil ($Nil in 2008 and $58 in 2007). There
is no tax applicable to discontinued operations.
Mineral Properties
Producing Properties
When and if properties are placed in production, the applicable capitalized costs are amortized using the
unit-of-production method as described above. Blanket Mine was acquired during 2006 and has been
consolidated into these results from July 1, 2006 and, as such, has been presented as a producing asset in
these consolidated financial statements.
Non-Producing Properties
Costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and development of non-producing resource properties which
are held by the Corporation or through its participation in joint ventures are capitalized until such time
as either economically recoverable reserves are established or the properties are sold or abandoned.
A decision to abandon, reduce or expand activity on a specific project is based upon many factors including
general and specific assessments of mineral reserves, anticipated future mineral prices, anticipated costs
of developing and operating a producing mine, the expiration date of mineral property leases, and the
general likelihood that the Corporation will continue exploration on the project. However, based on the
results at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program, properties that are not suitable as
prospects are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted and that carrying values are
appropriate.
The ultimate recovery of these costs depends on the discovery and development of economic ore reserves or
the sale of the properties or the mineral rights. The amounts shown for non-producing resource properties do
not necessarily reflect present or future values.
Foreign Currency Translation
Balances of the Corporation denominated in foreign currencies and the accounts of its foreign subsidiaries,
except Blanket Mine, are translated into Canadian Dollars using the temporal method as follows:
(i) monetary assets and liabilities at period end rates;
(ii) all other assets and liabilities at historical rates, and
(iii) revenue and expense transactions at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
Exchange gains or losses arising on these translations are reflected in income in the year incurred.
Blanket is a self-sustaining operation and operates in Zimbabwe in what was a hyper inflationary economy.
Due to the dollarization of the economy in February, 2009 the hyper inflationary environment no longer
exists. Accordingly the results of these operations are now translated into Canadian Dollars using the
current rate method. On January 1, 2009 Blanket's functional currency also changed to US Dollars following
the Monetary Policy announcement introducing the use of foreign currency in Zimbabwe for all forms of trade
and business. The assets and liabilities of a self-sustaining foreign operation are translated at the rate
in effect at the balance sheet date for purposes of incorporation in the financial statements of Caledonia
and, therefore, an exchange gain or loss will arise when the exchange rate changes. This exchange gain or
loss has no direct effect on the activities of Caledonia. It is inappropriate to incorporate this exchange
gain or loss in net income of Caledonia in the period in which it arises; rather, it is reported in the
financial statements as a separate component of shareholders' equity and is disclosed as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income during the period. In summary the current rate method is
as follows:
(i) all assets and liabilities at rates at balance sheet date;
(ii) revenue and expense transactions at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
Foreign exchange loss or profit arising on the translation of revenue and expense items is disclosed in
income in the period incurred.
Included in the statement of operations, for the six month period ended June 30, is an exchange gain of $559
(loss $760 - 2008 and loss $452 - 2007). Due to the translation of Blanket Mine a loss of $174 (Nil 2008)
has been disclosed under accumulated other comprehensive income.

Caledonia Mining Corporation
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of Canadian Dollars unless otherwise indicated and except for share and per share amounts)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Investments
On May 9, 2002, the Corporation participated in a private placement of the purchase of shares of Motapa
Diamonds Inc. ("Motapa") at a cost of $79. The shares of Motapa are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange
in Canada.
The adoption of CICA Handbook Sections 3855 and 1530, retrospectively from January 1, 2007, determines
that the Corporation records its investments in Motapa Diamonds Inc. and in Old Mutual Plc as financial
instruments "available for sale" and they are thus recorded at fair value.
The fair value of the investment in Motapa Diamonds Inc is $24 ($23 -2008 and $20 - 2007) and the fair
value of the shares held in Old Mutual Plc is $4 ($6 - 2008 and $2- 2007).

(1) Cost is comprised of the original cost of the asset, less write-downs, removal of cost for disposals and
government grants, and includes the capitalized value of the estimated asset retirement obligations.
(2) The Corporation had entered into strategic alliances with a third party on a Zambian property (Mulonga)
valued at $0 ($1,044 - 2008). The Zambian strategic alliance partner, Motapa Diamonds Inc., has terminated
the strategic alliance agreement. The Corporation has applied for a retention licence over the properties.
All interest in the strategic alliance will be transferred to the Corporation by Motapa Diamonds Inc. As a
consequence of the current economic climate, lack of exploration in the past 2 years and no planned
expenditure for 2009, the Mulonga property was fully written down to $Nil at December 31, 2008. It is still
the Corporation's intention to form a joint venture with a new strategic partner.
(3) Due to the current economic climate, lack of exploration expenditure in the past 2 years, no planned
expenditure for 2009 and the fact that prospecting licences are still to be granted, the Goedgevonden
property was written down to $Nil at December 31, 2008.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the South African and Zambian mineral properties is dependent
upon the availability of sufficient funding to bring the properties into commercial production, the price
of the products to be recovered, the exchange rate of the local currency relative to the US Dollar and the
undertaking of profitable mining operations. As a result of these uncertainties, the actual amount
recovered may vary significantly from the carrying amount.

-------------------------
Included in accounts receivable is an amount owing by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe ("RBZ") of
$2,890 ($1,780 - 2007) for gold sold, plus interest accrued, during 2008. In the monetary policy
statement announced by the Governor of the RBZ in February 2009, this debt was converted into a
Special Tradable Gold-Backed Foreign Exchange Bond, with a term of 12 months and an 8% interest
rate. This bond can be sold to any interested party locally, regionally or internationally at an
agreed to time maturity discount. This bond plus interest is guaranteed by RBZ on maturity on
February 1, 2010.
At June 30, 2009 the Corporation has disclosed this receivable as a current asset at its estimated
fair value. The receivable was written down to the estimated fair value at December 31, 2008. Due
to the subsequent conversion of the receivable into a bond, the fair value was estimated by
applying a risk premium of 18% to the bond value as if converted at the year end. It is the
intention of the Corporation to sell the bond before maturity but due to a lack of a market in
these bonds, the Corporation classified the receivable as long term, as at December 31, 2008, based
on the legal term of the bond to January 31, 2010.

11. Contingent Liability
In the Share Sale Agreement dated May 12, 2006 pursuant to which the Corporation purchased 100% of
the shares of Blanket, the Corporation agreed that it would, as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Closing of the Agreement, cause Blanket to implement a share incentive scheme considered
by the Directors to be in the best interests of Blanket, pursuant to which a percentage of the
shares of Blanket will be deposited in a Trust for the benefit of the management and employees of
Blanket. As at June 30, 2009 no scheme had been established, nor were any shares of Blanket
deposited in a Trust for the purposes of such a scheme. The Corporation and the Board of Directors
of Blanket have delayed the establishment of the required scheme pending clarity of the anticipated
Zimbabwe laws relating to the indigenization of the mining industry, as it is recognized that the
Zimbabwean laws will likely have a material impact on the structure of the proposed scheme and the
percentage of the issued shares of Blanket required to be put into trust for the purposes of the scheme.
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Corporation has various financial instruments comprising of cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables, investments, accounts payable, bank overdrafts, accrued liabilities and long-term
debts.
The various assets and liabilities were classified as follows on adoption:
(i) Cash and cash equivalents are classified as "assets held for trading". They are stated at
fair value and any gains/losses arising on revaluation at the end of each period are
included in the statement of operations. We have no derivative financial instruments that
would have been classified on a similar basis.
(ii) Investments are classified as "assets available for sale". They are presented at fair value and
the gains/losses arising from their revaluation at the end of each quarter will be included in
other comprehensive income. When a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the accumulated
loss that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income is removed from accumulated
other comprehensive income and recognized in net income even though the financial asset has not
been derecognized.
(iii) Trade receivables are classified under "loans and receivables". They are recorded at their
original cost which is deemed their fair value at that time. Subsequent measurement will be at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
(iv) Bank overdraft is classified as a "financial liability held for trading" as there is a contractual
obligation to deliver cash. It is measured at fair value which is book value plus accrued
interest. It is stated at fair value and any gains/losses arising on revaluation at the end of
each period are included in the statement of operations.
(v) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long term debt are classified under "other financial
liabilities". They are recorded at their fair value at that time. Subsequent measurement will be
at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
13. Financial Risk Exposure and Risk Management
The Corporation is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks by
virtue of its activities. The overall financial risk management program focuses on preservation of
capital, and protecting current and future Corporation assets and cash flows by reducing exposure
to risks posed by the uncertainties and volatilities of financial markets.
The Board of Directors has responsibility to ensure that adequate financial risk management is
established. The Corporation's Audit Committee oversees management's compliance with the
Corporation's financial risk management.
The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:
i) Currency Risk
As the Corporation operates in an international environment, some of the Corporation's financial
instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar. The
results of the Corporation's operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency
translation risk. The operating results and financial position of the Corporation are reported in
Canadian Dollars in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
The fluctuation of the Canadian Dollar in relation to other currencies will consequently have an
impact upon the profitability of the Corporation and may also affect the value of the Corporation's
assets and the amount of shareholders' equity.
A significant portion of the Corporation's assets and liabilities are denominated in South African
Rand and United States Dollars. Management do not consider that the fluctuation of the value of
these currencies to the Canadian Dollar could have a significant impact on the results of
operations. Blanket Mine operations are now transacted using the United States Dollar as the
functional currency. As a result of the introduction of the US Dollar as legal tender in Zimbabwe
the hyperinflationary environment has decreased dramatically. The shareholder loan account in
Zimbabwe is denominated in US Dollars and will generate foreign exchange losses for Blanket Mine
depending on the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian Dollar. The fair values of
these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. The
Corporation does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its foreign currency risks.
Below is a summary of the cash or near cash items denominated in a currency other than the Canadian
Dollar that would be affected by changes in exchanges rates relative to the Canadian Dollar.

$000 US Dollars SA Rand
--------------------------------------------------
Cash 14 1,902

Accounts Receivable 3,173 1,394

Accounts Payable 979 365

The table below illustrates by how much a 1% change in the rate of exchange between the Canadian
Dollar and the currencies above will affect net income.

$000 US Dollars SA Rand
--------------------------------------------------
Cash - 3
--------------------------------------------------
Accounts Receivable 27 2
--------------------------------------------------
Accounts Payable 8 1
--------------------------------------------------
ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of
fluctuations in interest rates.
Unless otherwise noted, it is the opinion of management that the Corporation is not exposed to
significant interest rate risk as it is debt free and only utilizes overdraft facilities for short
periods if necessary. As a result of Blanket Mine being brought back into production (see Note 16)
working capital borrowings will increase in Zimbabwe. The working capital loans will be US Dollar
denominated and will attract interest rates of approximately 6% pa. It is the intention of Blanket
to borrow further funds to complete the No 4 shaft expansion project. No acceptable term sheet has
been received for these loans and thus the interest rate is unknown. The Corporation's cash and
cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates. The
Corporation manages its interest rate risk by endeavoring to maximize the interest income earned on
excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day
basis. The Corporation's policy focuses on preservation of capital and limits the investing of excess
funds to liquid term deposits in "A" grade financial institutions.
Fluctuations in market interest rates have not had a significant impact on the Corporation's
results of operations due to the short-term to maturity of the investments held.
iii) Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Corporation if a gold sales customer fails to
meet its contractual obligation. Credit risk arises principally from the Corporation's receivables
from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe ("RBZ") who was the sole buyer of gold produced in Zimbabwe, in
terms of legislation.
At December 31, 2008 the RBZ owed Blanket US$2,400,000 (at fair value). The amount owed to Blanket
was converted into a Special Tradable Gold-backed Foreign Exchange Bond ("Bond") by RBZ following
the Monetary Policy announcement on February 2, 2009 that has the following features;
- Term of 12 months
- Interest at 8% pa on maturity on February 1, 2010.
- Bond may be sold locally, regionally or internationally at an agreed price
- RBZ will honour the full principal plus interest on maturity
The lack of foreign currency in Zimbabwe affects all business sectors and management maintains
close relations with RBZ to ensure payments are made whenever necessary, to sustain operations,
within the capabilities of the RBZ.
iv) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations
as they fall due.
The Corporation manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is sufficient capital to meet short
and long term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the
Corporation's holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Corporation believes that these sources
will be sufficient to cover the likely short and long term cash requirements. Senior management is
also actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures by regularly monitoring
cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.
v) Commodity Price Risk
The value of the Corporation's mineral resource properties is related to the price of gold,
platinum and cobalt, and the outlook for these minerals. In addition, adverse changes in the price
of certain raw materials can significantly impair the Corporation's cash flows.
Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the
Corporation's control, including, but not limited to, industrial and retail demand, central bank
lending, forward sales by producers and speculators, levels of worldwide production, short-term
changes in supply and demand because of speculative hedging activities, and macro-economic
variables, and certain other factors related specifically to gold.
In the Monetary Policy Announcement made by RBZ on February 2, 2009, Blanket became eligible to
export its gold to a refiner of its choice and to receive 100% of the proceeds in US Dollars paid
into its foreign currency account at a Zimbabwean commercial bank. As a result of this
announcement, Blanket resumed mining operations on April 7, 2009 after receiving all the necessary
licenses from the Ministry of Finance and the RBZ.
14. Capital Management
The Corporation's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a
going concern in order to pursue the mining operations and exploration potential of the mineral
properties.
The Corporation's capital includes, short-term debt, long-term debt and equity, comprising issued
common shares, contributed surplus and retained earnings.
The Corporation's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has
sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations, to provide returns for shareholders
and benefits for other stakeholders and to pursue growth opportunities. To secure additional
capital to pursue these plans, the Corporation may attempt to raise additional funds through
borrowing and/or the issuance of equity, debt or by securing strategic partners.
In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Corporation does not pay dividends.
As at June 30, 2009, the Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and
there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy.
