CALEDONIA MINING CORPORATION
Blanket Gold MineBackgroundLocated in the south-west of Zimbabwe Blanket Mine is wholly owned and operated by Caledonia, having been acquired from Kinross Gold Corporation in June 2006. The mine is 560 kms from Harare, the capital city and 150 kms from Bulawayo, the country's second largest city. The provincial capital of Matabeleland South, Gwanda town is 16 kms from the mine.Access to the mine is by an all-weather tarred road to Gwanda, which is linked to Bulawayo by a national highway. |  Blanket Gold Mine - Zimbabwe | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The main railway line from South Africa passes through Gwanda. An airstrip on the outskirts of Gwanda caters for light aircraft.  Blanket mine has been producing gold since the time of the ancients. However recorded production started in 1904. Early workers tended to pick the native gold "eyes" from the pay shoots. Significant production milestones were in 1965 when Falconbridge acquired the property and immediately introduced a production culture commensurate with multinational corporations by increasing gold production to some 45 kgs/month on average and in 1993 when Kinross took over the property and built a CIL plant to add the treatment of the tailings pile to the run-of-mine ore. Gold production peaked at an average of 110 kg/month during the tailings treatment years from 1995. However tailings treatment is now completed. To date in excess of 1 million ounces of gold have been produced from the property. HistoryAfter being worked by the ancients before the 19th century, the Blanket claims were acquired by the Matabele Reefs and Estate Company who subsequently mined no less than 128 000t from 1906 to the end of 1911. From 1912 to 1916, the Forbes Rhodesia Syndicate mined some 23,000t. The period from 1917 to 1941 has no reliable records. It is possible the mine lay dormant as this was a period of geopolitical instability. In 1941, F.D.A. Payne resumed mining activities accounting for some 214,000t before selling the property to Falconbridge in 1964. |  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The property became a significant producer from 1965 when the then new owners, Falconbridge, introduced a production culture commensurate with multinationals producing some four million tonnes of ore up to the end of September 1993, when Kinross Gold Corporation, took over the property. Kinross immediately put into place a program of further increasing production by adding the treatment of the tailings dumps to the run-of-mine stream. By the end of 2005 the property had produced in excess of 1 million ozs of gold since records were kept. Caledonia Mining Corporation acquired the Blanket Mine effective as at April 1, 2006. Property GeologyThe geology consists of a basal felsic unit of no known mineralisation presence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It is generally on this lithology type that the various tailings disposal sites are located. Above this unit are the ultramafics that include the banded iron formations hosting the eastern dormant cluster and the ore bodies of the nearby Vubachikwe complex. The active Blanket ore bodies are found in the next unit, the mafics. |  #1 Conveyor feeding the two Surface Primary Jaw Crushers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The tables below summarize the RESERVES AND RESOURCES at December 31, 2008 Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors - the United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Caledonia uses certain terms in this website - and in some cases press releases - such as "measured", "indicated", and "inferred" "resources", which the SEC guidelines generally prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F which may be secured from Caledonia, or on the SEC website at: http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

100% interest in Eersteling gold mine located 36 kilometers from the town of Polokwane in the rolling terrain of the Northern Province of the Republic of South Africa.
As of the December 31, 2005, the company had a gold resource estimate of 597,500 tonnes in the Eersteling Mine property

Goedgevonden - South Africa
The Corporation holds prospecting rights over the Goedgevonden diamond bearing kimberlite pipe and surrounding area. This property is located approximately 20km north of the Stilfontein gold mine in the Klerksdorp district of the North West Province in South Africa and 200km south west of Johannesburg.
In April 2005 an application for conversion of these rights was submitted in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act ("MPRDA") and the rights were granted in December 2006. An additional application for New Order Prospecting rights was submitted over an adjoining farm, Eleazar in June 2005. It is expected that this application will be granted shortly as soon as documentary proof of BEE participation has been presented.
Previous prospecting activities carried out in the mid 1970's on Goedgevonden indicate that the pipe is oval in shape and covers a surface area of approximately 0.27 hectares. This work also confirms that the pipe was drill intersected at a depth of 425 meters, and that further down-dip extensions remain undefined. Previous drilling reported an average diamond content of 35 to 45 carats per hundred tonnes of material ("cpht"), with one hole yielding 65 cpht. The Corporation has not completed the work necessary to estimate a resource in terms of NI 43-101 for the Goedgevonden property.
A preliminary drilling program conducted in 2002 consisted of 7", 8" and 12" diameter reverse circulation drill holes, followed by the collection of the drill samples and diamond recovery. Four holes were drilled in the centre of the pipe, three to a depth of 150 meters, and the other to 120 meters. The three remaining holes were drilled to delineate the pipe in more detail. All of the seven holes drilled entered the kimberlite at a depth of about 6 meters, and the four centrally-located holes were stopped whilst still in the kimberlite. A total of about 56 tonnes of drilling sample was collected and processed through a Van Eck and Lurie dense-media separation ("DMS") plant and wet Sortex machine. From the diamond recoveries it was confirmed that the Goedgevonden pipe was diamondiferous, and sufficient gem-quality diamonds were recovered to warrant a larger bulk sample. Geological interpretive work as well as detailed ground gravity and magnetometer surveys were completed during 2003 but there was no further exploration activity on this property as corporate resources were concentrated on the Corporation's other projects which were considered to be of higher priority in adding shareholder value.
Granting of the New Order Prospecting Rights (not yet signed) gives the Company security of tenure. Discussions are in progress with other parties with a view to realizing value by joint venture or disposal of the properties in the Goedgevonden Diamond Project.
Blanket has claims and exploration permits in the vicinity of the existing mine operations.
Blanket intends to undertake exploration on these areas to assess their suitability for further
development as potential satellite operations, feeding crushed ore into the existing
Blanket milling and CIL plant.
