should position Kinbauri Espana to raise the remaining funds to expedite
re-start of production at El Valle/Carles. Given the current state of the
financial markets, we are extremely pleased with this agreement. We are also
pleased that our new partner, Glen Eagle Resources and its CEO, Mr. Jean

Other Corporate Development
Following recommendations in the recently completed Scoping Study (SEDAR filed
Technical Report of March 9, 2009) for accessing the El Valle Mine via a decline
near the entrance to the El Valle mill, Kinbauri's engineers have developed a
plan that they believe could significantly reduce pre-production capital
expenditures and shorten the time required to recommence operations at El Valle.
Kinbauri will have this new mine plan vetted in the upcoming feasibility study
which is scheduled to begin in May, 2009.
Dr. Rampton will record a "Beyond The Press Release" on the Company's official
Investor Relations Site at http://www.agoracom.com/ir/kinbauri, where these
developments will be discussed in detail. The recording is expected to be
available on or after April 17th, 2009.
