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
