Kinbauri Receives Validation of Revised Mine Plan From Independent Consultant

Kinbauri Gold Corp. ("Kinbauri") (TSX VENTURE:KNB) (FRANKFURT:3KG.DE), further
to its press releases of May 11th and May 12th, 2009, is pleased to announce
that Scott Wilson Mining . ("SWM") has completed its review of Kinbauri's
revised mine plan for the El Valle/Carles Project (the "Project") which:


- Advances the date of first gold pour to 12 months from the start of development.

- Significantly reduces pre-production capex.

The revised plan was prepared by Kinbauri based on the Scoping Study by SWM,
filed on April 20th, 2009 ("the Scoping Study").  SWM concluded that there are
no fatal flaws to the revised mine plan completed by Kinbauri. The following
table compares key assumptions and results from the Scoping Study and Kinbauri's
revised plan;

The revised plan provides early access to the top of the 107 Area ("A107") with
the result that a larger proportion of high grade ore will be processed in the
early stages of the Project. The Upper A107 was scheduled for mining at a later
time in the Scoping Study's mine life, as mineralization in this area is
classified as Inferred.  The revised plan, has  allowed for upgrade drilling to
convert the A107 mineralization to Indicated, as well as an allowance for test
mining.  Successful upgrading of the A107 Inferred material is key to the
success of the revised plan. Initial production from A107 will be supplemented
with ore from the present decline and with production from the re-opened Carles
underground mine.


Cautionary Statement as Required by NI 43-101, Sect 2.3 (3): These assessments
are preliminary in nature; they include Inferred mineral resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves,
and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessments will be realized
because mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not demonstrated
economic viability.


Dr. Rampton, Kinbauri's President and CEO, commented "We are extremely pleased
that Scott Wilson has verified the viability of the revised mine plan that our
engineering team developed subsequent to receipt of the Scoping Study. 
Reduction of the pre-production capex in combination with funds to be provided
by the Glen Eagle transaction significantly reduces the need for future
financing. The Project can look forward to production in 2010 with robust annual
after-tax cash flows
