NEWS - Kinbauri Completes In-Fill Drill Program: Resource Up-Date Scheduled for Early October, New Discovery Contains Significant High Grade Resources

Posted by: AGORACOM on August 26, 2008 08:00AM

OTTAWA, ONTARIO - (Aug. 26, 2008) - Kinbauri Gold Corp. ("Kinbauri") (TSX VENTURE:KNB) (FRANKFURT:3KG.DE) is pleased to announce that its in-fill drill program (145 holes) was completed on August 16th; a total of 22,275 m were drilled. Final assay results from 11 holes are pending with receipt expected in early September.

Resource at El Valle and Carles

Completion of the in-fill drill program will allow delivery of a new N.I. 43-101 technical report (resource up-date) by mid-October. In addition to the expected up-grades in resource classification due to the drill hole spacing, it is anticipated that there will be a significant increase in the resources for five of the twelve zones at El Valle, notably Area 107 ("A107"), Black Skarn ("BSN"), Monica, Charnela and San Martin. These five zones are expected to be included in the early mine plan upon recommencement of operations at El Valle. A January 16th, 2008 N.I. 43-101 compliant technical report (the "Report") estimated that four of these zones contained the following resources:

- Measured and indicated: 545,000 ounces gold and 71.5 million pounds copper (3,220,000t at 5.26g Au/t and 3,138,000t at 1.04% Cu).

- Inferred: 688,000 ounces gold and 39.8 million pounds copper (3,143.000t at 6.81g Au/t and 3,038,000t at 0.6% Cu).

The Report also estimated resources for all the zones at El Valle and Carles:

- Measured and Indicated: 725,200 ounces gold and 86.9 million pounds copper (4,159,000 t at 5.4g Au/t and approximately 0.97% Cu).

- Inferred: 964,000 ounces gold and 50.0 million pounds copper (3,459,000 t at 8.67g Au/t and approximately 0.56% Cu).

New Discovery: San Martin Zone

A substantial increase in resources at El Valle is expected due to the newly discovered San Martin Zone, the continuation of BSN to the west and enhanced gold and copper grades where the Charnela Zone intersects the BSN. The San Martin Zone, itself, is (i) characterized by wide Au-Cu intercepts, (ii) defined for some 200 m along strike and (iii) open to the east and south (See Schedule C). It is considered to be Kinbauri's most significant new discovery to date. Notable intercepts are as follows:

- 8g Au/t, 36g Ag/t and 2.1% Cu over 33.9m in 07KV1009R

- 10.5g Au/t, 63g Ag/t and 5.2% Cu over 17.1m in 08KV1108

- 7.2g Au/t, 18g Au/t and 1.0% Cu over 21.1m and

8.2g Au/t, 18g Ag/t and 1.2% Cu over 15.2m in 08KV1117

- 5.8g Au/t, 25g Ag/t and 2.0% Cu over 26.7m and

4.9g Au/t, 14g Ag/t and 0.6% Cu over 8.8m in 08KV1159

Recent Drill Results

Kinbauri is in receipt of results from a further 13 in-fill diamond drill holes, mainly targeting BSN. Received assays are summarized as follows:

The underground drill program at El Valle and Carles is being supervised by Mr. Santiago Gonzalez-Nistal, Kinbauri Espana's senior geologist, with quality control being provided by Dr. C. F. Gleeson, P. Eng., Kinbauri's Vice-President of Exploration: both are qualified persons as defined by N.I. 43-101. Details of Kinbauri's Assay and Quality Assurance Programs are reported in a press release of February 27th, 2008.

Future Drilling and Other Corporate

Exploration drilling will begin in September to trace continuity of the San Martin Zone. A new exploration adit is planned northwards from Boinas East to establish drill stations for this exploration work. Numerous other zones are targeted for drilling at El Valle and Carles before the end of 2008.

With modeling and coincidental new resource classifications underway, Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates have indicated they can deliver a Scoping Study in the last quarter of 2008. Kinbauri is presently funded through January 2009 to continue its development and exploration programs. Upon final registration of certain documents in Spain in September, some funds, presently being held in escrow by Anglo Pacific Group, will be released.

This press release was prepared by Drs V. N. Rampton, P. Eng and C. F. Gleeson, P. Eng. in their capacity as qualified persons. Dr. Rampton will be recording "Beyond the Press Release" web-cast concerning assay results and Kinbauri's near-term plans on its official Investor Relations Site at http://www.agoracom.com/IR/kinbauri on or after August 26th, 2008.
