Caledonia Mining Corporation
10 November 2006


                   Caledonia Mining Corporation ('Caledonia') 
      
                BARBROOK PLACED ON TEMPORARY CARE & MAINTENANCE
                                        
Toronto, Ontario - November 10, 2006: Caledonia Mining Corporation ('Caledonia')
(TSX: CAL, NASDAQ-OTCBB: CALVF, AIM: CMCL) has placed its Barbrook Mine in South
Africa on temporary care and maintenance as a result of damage caused by
employees of a labour brokerage company during an illegal industrial action.

The administrative and security buildings were damaged, but the metallurgical
plant and mining infrastructure and equipment are unaffected.

The Company is formulating claims for major compensation against the labour
brokerage company which supplies labour to the Mine.

The Company's Board is, with input from South African management, considering
its options regarding the future of the Barbrook Mine. The effect on earnings
during the fourth quarter is expected to be negligible.
