Caledonia Announces Additional Resource at Nama Cobalt Project in Zambia
Toronto, Ontario - April 16, 2007: Caledonia Mining Corporation ('Caledonia')
(TSX: CAL, NASDAQ-OTCBB: CALVF and AIM:CMCL) is pleased to announce that an
additional Indicated Resource has been identified at the Anomaly 'C' area on the
Nama Cobalt and Copper Project in Zambia.
Nama
Caledonia is the 100% owner of the Nama Project, which covers a number of
polymetallic oxide deposits containing cobalt and copper, located on the
northwestern flank of the Zambia Copperbelt.
Resources
This new estimate which is in addition to the resource reported in Caledonia's
Press Release of March 19, 2007, has identified a potentially economic resource
of cobalt with lesser quantities of copper and nickel in the Anomaly 'C' area.
The resource lies within four blocks within the target area to a depth of 150
meters, the full depth extent of which has not yet been determined. The
evaluation is based on 73 drill holes collared on 13 section lines. The maximum
hole spacing is 300 meters.

Canadian securities regulations for the Nama project. Mr. Grant was following-up
on a recommendation made in his Technical Report for the Anomaly 'A' resource,

All estimates where prepared at a 0.02% cobalt cut-off
Additional Potential
As previously reported 16 cobalt anomalies in total have been identified in the
Nama Project area of which 5 have been explored to varying extents. As a
priority a drilling program to investigate the extensions to Anomaly 'A', in
addition to Anomalies 'C' and 'D' is currently being considered with a view to
defining an additional resource in the near future. The remaining 11 anomalies,
with similar potential to above anomalies, all require follow-up drilling and
geological field programs.
Technical Report
As required by Canadian regulations a Technical Report, compliant with National
Instrument (NI) 43-101 specifications, is being prepared by Mr. Grant to define
the Resources of both Anomaly 'A' and Anomaly 'C' at the Nama Cobalt Project.
This report will be filed on SEDAR and on the Caledonia website within
forty-five days of this press release.
