Circulation bore hole LR3 (which reported on 29 January 2008, 36m intersection
of 0.66% Copper from 24m, and includes a 3m intersection of 1.33% Copper from

The Company continues its exploration programme at Kalumbila with the objective
of extending the strike and confirming the proximity to surface of the copper
mineralisation.

The assays of the core samples from this bore hole were carried out by Alfred H
Knight of Kitwe, Zambia an internationally accredited laboratory (SANAS, UKAS,
QMS)

Colin Bird, Chairman of Kiwara plc, commented: "These impressive results
certainly justify our previous comments with regard to the potential for near
surface copper mineralisation at Kalumbila and the potential for a bulk mining
target. The Company is pursuing an aggressive exploration programme with
objective of enhancing shareholder value".
