Kalimantan Gold Corporation Limited - Jelai Forestry Permit Issued

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Nov. 10, 2011) - Kalimantan Gold Corporation Limited (the "Company" or "KGC") (TSX VENTURE: KLG) is pleased to announce the Minister of Forestry has granted PT Jelai Cahaya Minerals a "borrow to use" exploration permit for its 100%-owned, Jelai Gold project in north eastern Kalimantan. The permit authorizes the Company to conduct exploration activities over the Mewet and 10 other of the 12 Jelai Gold prospects, comprising 4,675 hectares of the 5,000 hectare IUP and is valid for two years. This fulfills the outstanding condition for the Company's Joint Venture agreement to take effect with Tigers Realm Minerals Pty Ltd ("Tigers Realm").

As announced on February 15, 2011, pursuant to an option agreement Tigers Realm has the right to earn up to a 70% interest in the Jelai Gold project by meeting certain project expenditure obligations and completing a bankable feasibility study by June 2, 2015, the expiry of the IUP. Tigers Realm's proposed drill program expenditure is US$2m over the first 18 months with approximately 8,000m of drilling at the Mewet Prospect planned.

With the forestry permitting process now complete, camp construction will follow allowing exploration mapping and sampling to start in early December. A drill contractor has been selected and Tigers Realm expects to be drilling by mid-December. "Securing the forestry permit is a significant step for KGC and the Jelai project and this demonstrates KGC's understanding and ability to work within the Indonesian regulatory environment. It also demonstrates that Indonesia's new mining and forestry regulations work. KGC and Tigers Realm are excited to commence exploration at the Jelai Gold Project," said Faldi Ismail the KGC CEO.

The Mewet prospect is the Company's flagship gold project. It has a total of 126 shallow diamond drill holes totaling approximately 14,000 meters. Grid soils, surface mapping and drilling confirmed more than 6km combined strike length of low sulphidation, vein-style, epithermal, gold-silver mineralization, comprising the Mewet, Sembawang, Lipan and Nyabi veins. Previously, shallow drill holes targeted the central areas of the Mewet, Sembawang and Lipan Veins, with high grade mineralized shoots intersected at each, shown in Table 1.

Interpretation of mineral textures in veins and comparison with models for low-sulphidation epithermal systems indicates the current level of exposure is near the top of the precious metal zone. Limited fan style drilling confirms the Mewet vein becomes thicker at depth and that mineralization extends over at least 200 meters vertically.

As part of Tigers Realm due diligence, the investigative geologic team collected representative skeleton drill core samples (10cm in length) from mineralized intervals of selected holes. Assay results confirmed high grade gold and silver mineralization, and assay results are shown in Table 2. Six of the samples collected from drill core at the Mewet property were prepared and stained in Australia, to test for adularia. Results indicate that adularia is a common component of crustiform banded veins at Mewet and is associated with high grade gold mineralization (Figure 1).

The combination of vein textures and mineral-textural zonation and apparent overlapping of zones is promising that stacking and overprinting of various zones has occurred, and such a process can increase the total metal endowment of the vein, particularly in shoots. The metal ratios with approximately equal Au: Ag also support the concept observed in other epithermal systems that the mineralization encountered in Mewet occurs in the upper to middle part of the precious metals zone (observations also made by previous geologists, e.g. Worsley, 1999). Based on these data, Tigers Realm geologists interpret high grade shoots may have developed for at least 200 meters below the current depth of drilling, within parts of the Mewet vein system.
