Change of Auditors

Kibo Mining plc ("Kibo" or the "Company") (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the Tanzania focussed mineral exploration and development company, announces that it has appointed Saffery Champness  Chartered Accountants ("Saffery Champness") as its new company auditor with immediate  effect.  Saffery Champness is replacing LHM Casey McGrath who has served as company auditor since the Company's inception in 2008.

Saffery Champness is part of the global accountancy group Nexia International. The Company believes that as part of an international group with a strong focus on Africa, Saffery Champness has the appropriate global reach and experience across the various jurisdictions in which Kibo conducts its business to provide auditor services on a consolidated basis to Kibo and its subsidiary companies as it moves toward development of its flagship coal (Rukwa Coal to Power project) and gold (Imweru) projects in particular. The consolidated service offering provided by Nexia International will also bring about a significant cost saving in annual audit fees for the Company.

Louis Coetzee, CEO of Kibo said: "We are very pleased with the appointment of Saffery Champness as company auditors with whom we already have a strong relationship. On behalf of the Kibo board, I would also like to thank LHM Casey McGrath who, in addition to its audit function, has provided strong support and advice to the Company during the last 6 years."
