FUNDING KBL’S GROWTH
KBL is raising up to approximately $20m by way of:
I. A Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) of A$15,000 per shareholder, which raised $6.7m
II. An Institutional and Sophisticated Investor Placement of approximately $13m (“Placement” or “Offer”)
KBL wishes to maintain appropriate cash reserves to continue developing Mineral Hill, advance Sorby Hills to development. These have recently been depleted due to:
I. Start-up production issues in October to December 2011 resulting in reduced December quarter shipments
II. Costs associated with expansion of Mineral Hill production profile from 250,000 tpa in August 2011 to 320,000 tpa in February 2012
The capital raised will provide KBL with significant balance sheet strength and flexibility to fund its sustainable growth strategy
Funds raised under the Offer and SPP, with existing cash together totalling A$22.4m1 will be used to:
I. Meet projected short to medium term development costs of Mineral Hill to expand production to 500-550,000 tpa over next 12 months
II. Progress near mine and regional exploration activities at Mineral Hill, Iron Duke, Sorby Hills and Manbarrum
III. Fund residual feasibility costs associated with the development of Sorby Hills
IV. Provide working capital
27/02/2012 1. Pro-forma unaudited cash as at 31 December 2011 of A$2.4m plus gross proceeds from SPP and Offer (pre- costs)

KEY RISKS
There are various risks associated with investing in KBL Mining Limited (“KBL”), as with any stock market investment, and specifically because of the nature of KBL’s mining business and the present stage of development of some of its operations. This includes projects in which KBL has an interest. A reference to KBL in this key risks section should therefore be taken to include, where relevant, a reference to those project interests.
This section discloses some of the key risks attaching to an investment in KBL, many of which are outside the control of the directors of KBL. Before investing or increasing your investment in KBL, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you having regard to the risk factors set out below, publicly available information, your investment objectives and personal financial circumstances and following consultation with your professional, accredited advisors.
However the risks in this section are not, and should not be considered to be, or relied on as, an exhaustive list of the risks relevant to an investment in KBL. The risks are general in nature and no allowance has been made for the investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs of any investor. Factors affecting the operating and financial performance of KBL and the market price of its shares include domestic and international economic conditions and outlook, changes in government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, changes in interest rates and inflation rates, changes to commodity prices, the announcement of new technologies and variations in general market conditions and/or market conditions which are specific to the mining industry. In addition, the share price of many companies are affected by factors which might be unrelated to the operating performance of the relevant company. Such factors might adversely affect the market price of KBL’s shares.

KEY RISKS
Operating and development risks The ability of KBL to achieve production targets or meet operating and capital expenditure on a timely basis cannot be assured. For example, development and expansion projects may require approvals, permits or licences that may not be received on a timely basis. In addition, decisions regarding development and expansion projects may be subject to the successful outcome of operational reviews, testwork, studies and trial mining.
KBL’s assets and mining operations, as any others, are subject to uncertainty with respect to (among other things): ore tonnes, grade metallurgical recovery, ground conditions, operational environment, funding for development, regulatory changes, accidents and other unforseen circumstances such as mechanical failure of plant or equipment, storms, floods, bushfires or other natural disasters. If faced by KBL, these circumstances could result in KBL not realising its operational or development plans or in such plans costing more than expected or taking longer to realise than expected. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on KBL’s financial and operational performance.
The information provided in this document in relation to KBL’s projects is the current estimate of Resources and Reserves, capital and operating costs, as determined from geological data obtained from drill holes and other exploration techniques and feasibility studies conducted to date.
Mining and milling operations at Mineral Hill
KBL experienced metallurgical issues with ore from Parkers Hill underground mine at Mineral Hill during the December quarter, causing elevated lead within copper concentrate.
The ongoing suppression of lead levels within copper concentrates produced from Parkers Hill ore requires lime dosing of the raw water dam and a courser ball mill grind size to aid copper and lead separation during flotation. However, unexpected further technical or metallurgical issues may arise in the future which may further impact on KBL’s mining operations and ultimately its overall financial performance.
Mill performance has also been adversely impacted by the quality/outages in power supplied by Essential Energy. Measures have been put in place to reduce the impact of power supply problems on milling operations and KBL is working with Essential Energy to improve the reliability of power to the mine site. Power supply problems can adversely impact plant availability, which KBL plans at 92%.
Pearse open cut gold mine at Mineral Hill
In KBL’s initial prospectus, Pearse was expected to be developed before underground mining at Parkers Hill. NSW government approvals delayed the development from 2011 to 2012.
There is a risk that further delays may be encountered with the development of Pearse gold mine due to metallurgical considerations, changes in regulatory environment and permitting and funding availability. As a result, the estimated costs of proceeding with the project to production and costs of production may be more than KBL’s cost and revenue estimates.
Sorby Hills project risk KBL is currently seeking final approvals from relevant government and statutory authorities for the commencement of development of Stage 1 of the Sorby Hills project.
There is a risk that additional information and submissions will be required by these authorities which may extend the development timeframe which will be restricted during the initial phases of development due to the ability to access the project during the wet season.
GMR transaction risk The Memorandum of Framework Cooperation covers a package providing for the subscription by Guangdong Guangxin Mining Resource Group Co Ltd (GMR) for a 15% fully diluted shareholding in KBL and for the acquisition by GMR of a 25% interest in KBL’s Mineral Hill Mine together with a discounted life of mine offtake for copper concentrates.
Completion of the transaction is conditional upon receipt of all necessary Australian and Chinese government approvals, shareholder approvals (including the approval of GMR’s parent company) and negotiation of the necessary Joint Venture Agreement, Share Subscription Agreement and Concentrate Sales Agreement no later than 31 March 2012.
There is a risk that the time frame for all necessary approvals and documentation may take longer than anticipated.
Funding risks Subject to successful completion of the SPP and Offer, it is expected that KBL will have sufficient funding to support its growth strategy including the expansion of Mineral Hill and acceleration of the pre-development work at Sorby Hills. However, KBL may require additional financing for development and exploration and for other capital expenditure and there can be no guarantee that such funding will be obtained at all or on acceptable terms, particularly having regard to the current condition of global financial markets. If KBL seeks to obtain funding by way of an equity raising, this may be dilutive to existing shareholders.

KEY RISKS (continued)
Asset impairment risk At each reporting date, the directors of KBL assess whether circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of the company’s assets, should be impaired.
Risks to achieving forecast production
This presentation includes production targets for KBL’s Mineral Hill and Sorby Hills projects. Whilst KBL considers there to be a reasonable basis for the production targets, actual future production may vary from the targets and projects for a
number of reasons, many of which cannot be foreseen and are beyond the control of KBL. These factors may cause the production forecast not to be achieved or to be achieved later than expected and/or achieved at an increased cost.
Regulatory risks Changes in legislative and administrative regimes, taxation laws, interest rates, other legal and government policies in Australia may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of KBL and the market price of KBL shares and convertible notes.
Exploration and prospective production are dependent upon the granting and maintenance of appropriate licences, permits and regulatory consents and authorisations (“Authorisations”), which may not be granted or may be withdrawn or be made subject to limitations at the discretion of government or regulatory authorities. Although the Authorisations may be renewed following expiry or granted (as the case may be), there can be no assurance that such Authorisations will be continued, renewed or granted, or as to the terms of the renewals or grants. If there is a failure to obtain or retain the appropriate Authorisations or there is a material delay in obtaining or renewing them or they are subject to onerous conditions, then KBL’s ability to conduct its exploration or development operations may be adversely affected.
Native title may impact on KBL’s operations and future plans. For tenements that may still be subject to native title to be validly granted (or renewed), the ‘right to negotiate’ regime established by the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) must be followed. Alternatively, an indigenous land use agreement may be entered into between KBL and relevant native title parties. KBL notes that although Mining Leases at Sorby Hills predate native title legislation, local indigenous groups will be consulted and involved in the development process.
The Australian Parliament passed legislation in November 2011 to implement a carbon price mechanism in Australia from 1 July 2012. A carbon price will increase the cost of activities that directly or indirectly (i.e. through their inputs) emit greenhouse gas emissions. For mining activities, such as those undertaken by KBL, the key carbon costs will attach to gas, diesel and electricity use. It is not expected that any price increases due to suppliers carbon costs will be material in the context of KBL’s current overall costs.
Estimate risks The Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves for KBL’s assets are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular recovery level of metals will in fact be realised. KBL’s estimates are prepared in accordance with the JORC Code, but they are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice, and may require revision based on actual production experience which could in turn impact KBL’s mining plans. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available or commodity prices materially change.
Cost risks While every care has been taken in estimating the capital cost and future operating costs for KBL’s projects, including contingency, the actual costs structure experienced in constructing facilities and operating mines may vary from current estimates. Any variation could adversely impact KBL’s financial position and performance.
KBL has significant requirements for goods and services and it relies on being able to fulfil those requirements at a cost which does not materially negatively impact on its cash flows. A number of factors (such as rising oil prices, macro-economic factors such as inflationary expectations, interest rates, currency exchange rates, wage rates, equipment availability as well as global economic conditions and political trends) may lead to an increase in goods and services costs which may materially adversely impact the earnings of KBL.

KEY RISKS (continued)
Exploration risks KBL has followed an exploration programme that has resulted in a doubling of Resources at Mineral Hill and an upgrade of Resources at Sorby Hills and new ore Reserves at Mineral Hill over the past year. However, exploration activities are speculative by nature and therefore are often unsuccessful. Such activities also require substantial exploration expenditure and can take several years before it is known whether they will result in additional mines being developed. Accordingly, if the exploration activities undertaken by KBL do not result in additional Resources or identified Resources cannot be converted into Reserves, there may be an adverse effect on KBL’s financial performance.
In addition, the exploitation of successful discoveries involves obtaining the necessary licences or clearances from relevant authorities that may require conditions to be satisfied and the exercise of discretion by such authorities. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploitation may require the participation of other companies whose interest and objectives may not be the same as those of KBL.
Investment risks There are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities regardless of KBL’s performance. The past performance of KBL is not necessarily an indication as to the future performance of KBL as the trading price of shares can go up or down. Neither KBL nor the directors warrant the future performance of KBL or any return on an investment in KBL.
KBL’s growth strategy may involve making acquisitions. Such acquisitions may not be as successful as envisaged when made, which may adversely impact the financial performance of KBL.
Foreign exchange rate risks KBL is an Australian business that reports in Australian dollars. Revenue is derived from the sale of commodities that are typically priced in US Dollars, but costs are mainly in Australian dollars. KBL has put in place some derivative financial instructions in an attempt to mitigate some of its foreign exchange rate risk, e.g. hedging the provisional payment on each shipment. However, movements in the USD/AUD exchange rate may adversely or beneficially impact KBL’s results of operations and cash flows in relation to unhedged currency and medium term currency movements.
Counterparty risk The financial performance of KBL is exposed to any failure by counterparties to agreements for the sale of commodities that KBL has entered into to comply with the terms of those contracts, and this is beyond the control of KBL.
In addition, there is a risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which KBL is or may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by KBL in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by KBL for any activity. There is a risk of legal or other disputes with participants in any joint venture to which KBL is or may become a party.
Risk of dilution Some existing institutional and sophisticated shareholders are being invited to participate in the Offer. Non-participation or participation below a shareholder’s pro-rata share will result in dilution.
Discretion in the use of capital The board and management of KBL have discretion concerning the use of KBL’s capital resources as well as the timing of expenditures. Capital resources may be used in ways not previously anticipated or disclosed. The results and the effectiveness of the application of capital resources are uncertain. If they are not applied effectively, KBL’s financial and/or operational performance may suffer.
Commodity prices and market fluctuation
KBL’s current and projected revenues and cash flows are largely derived from the sale of a variety of commodities such as copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc. Therefore, the financial performance of KBL is exposed to the fluctuations in the prices of these commodities.
These commodities may be influenced by numerous factors and events which are beyond the control of KBL, including increased global supply, decreased demand, currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, regulatory changes and other factors.
KBL has put in place hedging contracts for the provisional payment on each shipment in order to reduce its exposure to potential falls in commodity prices over the quotational period. KBL is still exposed to the commodity prices over future production. KBL cannot provide any assurance as to the prices it will achieve for its commodities in the future.

KEY RISKS (continued)
Labour market risks KBL is dependent on a number of key management personnel and executives to manage the day-to-day requirements of its businesses. Although KBL enters into employment and incentive arrangements with such personnel to secure their services, it cannot guarantee the retention of their services. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have an adverse impact on KBL.
KBL needs to be able to recruit appropriately skilled and qualified individuals. There can be no guarantee that personnel with appropriate skills will be available, particularly given the tightening labour market, an accelerating aging population, falling labour productivity levels and the current skills shortage.
Insurance risk KBL will endeavour to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage reasonable in KBL’s circumstances. However, in certain circumstances KBL’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of KBL.
Insurance of risks associated with minerals exploration and production is not always available and, where available, the costs can be prohibitive. There is a risk that insurance premiums may increase to a level where KBL considers it unreasonable or not in its interests to maintain insurance coverage or not to a level of coverage which is in accordance with industry practices. KBL will use reasonable endeavours to insure against the risks it considers appropriate for KBL’s needs and circumstances. However, no assurance can be given that KBL will be able to obtain such insurance coverage in the future at reasonable rates or that any coverage it arranges will be adequate and available to cover costs.
Environmental risk The operations and activities of KBL are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Australia, and other places it may conduct business. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, KBL’s operations and activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. KBL attempts to conduct its operations and activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws and regulations.
KBL is unable to predict the impact of additional environmental laws and regulations which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase KBL’s cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area. However, there can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige KBL to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse impact on KBL’s business, financial condition and performance.
Changes in accounting policies Changes in accounting policies may have an adverse impact on KBL. There are no plans for any material change in accounting policies.
Dividends The payment of dividends, if any, is determined by the Board from time to time at its discretion, and is dependent upon the current and projected profitability and cash flow of KBL’s business at the time.
